The Task bar at the bottom of my computer dissapears when I use Firefox how do I get it back?

I think I clicked something near the bottom of Firefox, and now the task bar at the bottom of the computer screen disappears when I go on Firefox. It goes a bit transparent when I first goon Firefox but then disappears completely when I click anywhere on Firefox. I want to have the task bar back. (By task bar I mean the thing at the bottom with the start menu and things on)

This has happened to me in Chrome, Firefox & IE. (I have Windows 8).
So many other people have had this issue over the past couple of years in forums. They have all been "Closed/Solved" but they have NEVER been solved!!
(Hint: It is not solved by toggling task bar properties etc etc etc or dragging anything anywhere or messing with explorer.exe or clicking F11 / F10 or F bloody anything else!! etc etc et bloody cetra! ! So don't talk about that!!! I can go to my 11yo for such mundane, non-thinking wastes of time!!)
Why can't someone do something to fix it?!
No wonder Microsoft can only exist through size but not with client service!!

My first gen ipad wont rotate. The side button is on mute, the lock switch is on mute,the task bar at the bottom is not locked and i reset the all setting. still wont rotate.

My first generation Ipad wont rotate. I checked the switch next to the volume, In General "use slideswitch" is on "mute" and the task bar at the bottom the lock "orientation" symbol in not engaged. i have also reset all setting. still wont roate. also games that require movement of the ipad dont work. Any thoughts anyone?

Well then the screen definitely isn't locked.
i wonder of you close all pas in the task bar if that would help. Maybe you have an app that is causing the screen to stay locked. Try that and as if that does any good.
Double tap the home buttons and hold down on any icon until they all wiggle. Then start closing them all by tapping the minus signs. Tap the home button when you are done. Restart the iPad and then try again.

Firefox has spontaneously decided not to show the task bar at the bottom of the screen, and some menu bars have been messed up. How can I fix this?

My Firefox has spontaneously (apparently) decided not to show the task bar at the bottom of the screen (the margin is there, but it is blank), and some menu bars have been messed up. Perhaps the most annoying aspect of these changes is the fact that I have to use alt-tab to move from a Firefox session to another session.
I can find no way to fix these problems. Can you help? Am I going to have to uninstall and re-install Firefox in order to get back to the default settings? If so, is there any way to preserve my bookmarks?

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F). 
If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear. 
You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.

Merging the task bar and the Start Screen area

Can see the Start Screen more or less works as the Start Screen in Windows 8. However, the coupling features needs to be there. It's a mess.
And there is still the ambiguity between the Taskbar (= Start) and the Start Screen (= Start). It's the same thing, pinning.
And they should relate to desktop virtualization.
May be you could have the icons on the current task bar flow with the start screen area? Work the coloring - and the "ease out" of the menu. So it would seem the task bar is just extending into a bigger area. Then as a user you
could put the pins used on a daily basis at the very bottom. And the ones used weekly on the Start Screen for instance.
Additionally, grouping of pins is needed. That was a nice feature on the Start Screen. And it should be available on the task bar for pins as well - now that the task bar and the Start Screen should be more or less merged as in this
proposition.

I agree. I think the Start Menu tiles should function EXACTLY the same as the Start Screen tiles, which includes the arrangement options in groups as well as the ability to multi-select/pin/move/unpin tiles.
I would also add that I'd like an option to hide the search and task-switcher buttons from the taskbar. Task switcher is redundant considering you can also swipe and keyboard-shortcut that feature. Search is accessible from Start Menu, although
I understand that once Cortana is enabled via Search button that might change my opinion of its usefulness there.

When I click on the - fire fox disappears from the task bar; it is still open but gone from the task bar, if I click on any icon it opens a new Firefox window, I end up with several windows open but none on the task bar.

Question
When I click on the - to minimize fire fox, it does not close the window but the firefox icon disappears from the task bar; it is still open but gone from the task bar, if I click on any other icon it opens a new Firefox window, I end up with several windows open but none on the task bar.

Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

I went to my system preferences today and they are all gone except for my language and text icon! I have the language and text icon but that is the only icon that is displayed! where have my system preferences gone and how do i get them back??

Double click on the picture of the HD on your desktop, then look at the bottom of the window that opens.
First check the S.M.A.R.T. status on your HD: Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility > in the panel at left, select the first item in the list/your HD mechanism > look atthe bottom of the main window next to S.M.A.R.T. status and see if it says “Verified” or something more ominous like “Failing.”
If S.M.A.R.T.status is "Verified," run Repair Disk: Boot from install disc (insert disc > restart > immediately hold down c key and keep holding it until you see “Preparing Installation”) > at first screen select the language and click Continue > click on the Utilities Menu in the menu bar > open Disk Utility > select your HD in the panel on the left side > click Repair Disk at bottom of main window. Run this at least twice, and keep running it until it says “appears ok” twice in a row. If that doesn’t happen, you may need a stronger utility such as DiskWarrior or if the directory is damaged beyond repair, you may need to reinstall the OS, or you may have a damaged HD (repair utilities can only repair the directory structure, not the HD itself). When this is finished, quit Disk Utility, quit the installer, and restart. Once booted normally, go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility and run Repair Permissions.

The icon for Safari has probably moved to make room for new apps. Scroll the Home screen to look for it.
You cannot reverse the upgrade.

How do i get it back! i bought most of my music on itunes but i just dont have any idea where to go and whjat to do can any help me??
Respond please!

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then see if you can redownload your past music purchases (those that are still in the store) via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you are not in a country where music can currently be re-downloaded, then have you not got it on your computer and/or on a backup ? If not then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

Did you restore your phone with itunes or check new phone. You can always reconnect with itunes and restore your phone to old settings and it should replace everything because it is on your computer

Ive just updated my iPhone4 to the IOS5 software and i have lost all my apps? why? and how can i get them back?

When an iPhone updates, it wipes the whole device clean and then reinstalls the software and then the backup. Obviously you didn't create/couldn't create a backup either via iCloud or iTunes. You can get your apps back when you go to App Store>Updates>Purchased and download the apps you want.

HT1848 recently, when syncing my iPhone I transferred iPhone purchases to my library. Apparently I hit the wrong button and wiped out my old iTunes library on my PC. How do I get it back?

recently, when syncing my iPhone I transferred iPhone purchases to my library. Apparently I hit the wrong button and wiped out my old iTunes library on my PC. How do I get it back?

I cant find any of my recently bought songs or the apps i have purchased. When I was updating my ipod there was a button that asked about transfering purchases and I didnt read it, and I didnt update manually so i think thats why i lost everything. I clicked on the intrustions and clicked on apps and i coulnt find any of my old stuff.

Whenever I change from My Music to iTunes Store and then back to My Music, it sends me to the top of My Music instead of where I was when i switched. How can I get it to return to where I was when I switch out of and back into My Music?

Firefox will reload a page and reposition at the top if the copy in the cache has expired. However, that shouldn't happen right away.
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
