The "+" to open a new tab has disappeared. How do I get it back?

The "+" that usually appears to the right of the tabs and opens a new tab has disappeared. Looked through the Q&As and couldn't find the answer.

Make sure that toolbars like the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible.
*"3-bar" Firefox menu button > Customize > Show/Hide Toolbars
*View > Toolbars<br>Tap the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
*Right-click empty toolbar area
Open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.
*"3-bar" Firefox menu button > Customize
*check that "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
*if "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the Customize palette into the Customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
*if missing items are in the Customize palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the Customize palette then click the <u>"Restore Defaults"</u> button to restore the default toolbar setup

You can check for problems caused by a corrupted localstore.rdf file if this didn't help.

You can reset the <b>browser.uiCustomization.state</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page via the right-click context menu to the default value if it shows user set (bold) to see if that helps.
You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location/address bar.
You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

  • My new tab page disappeared how do i get it back?

    My new tab page disappeared. How do i get it back? When i click on "new tab +", i get a search screen that looks similar to google search page.

    this sounds like a problem possibly caused by adware on your pc. please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and do a scan of your system with [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].
    [[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]]

    afterwards install the search reset addon - it will revert the most common customizations those adware programs do in firefox back to the default: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/

  • The "recently used programs" section on the start menu has disappeared - how do I get it back?

    On the start menu, the top few programs are those that I use frequently. There used to be a line, and underneath the line appeared the programs that I have most recently used (other than the frequently-used programs above the line). This bottom section has disappeared - how can I get it back? Running XP with Firefox 33.1.

    This is a Windows question, not a Firefox question. Try using a search like www.bing.com/search?q=restore+recently+used+programs+windows+xp for help.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    The Safari web address bar has disappeared, how do I get it back?

    Thanks Roger I can now see the name of the website and if I right click on the name it shows me the web address. I used to be able to see the web address e.g. "https//google.co.uk" in this bar without having to right click on the name, is there a way of bringing this back?

    in Notifications, my driving time to work has disappeared. how do i get it back?

    I think it's something you'll want to make sure is turned on in settings.
    This is found deep in settings < privact < locations services < system services < frequent locations. That needs to be turned on.

  • Recently opened sites grid in new tab has disappeared, how to fix?

    So I recently installed a VLC player, and after the download, I noticed that the installation had also snuck in a bunch of other programs (I assume were viruses). When I opened up Firefox moments later, I realized that when I clicked to open a new tab, the grid wasn't there, and all the sites I had pinned were gone, I only saw a blank white window. I'm not sure whether there is a connection between the installed player and my Firefox problem, all I know is that the problem occurred moments after the player was installed.

    Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
    You can try some of the following programs to scan for malware:
    * [http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
    * [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
    * [http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] (A good permanent anti-virus if you don't already have one)
    Further information can be found in the [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]] article.

  • The mall grid button in the upper-right corner of the page that toggles the images on and off in a new tab is missing how do I get it back?

    I had a problem with some malware/adware by the time I got it removed it had altered much of Firefox.
    I have managed to correct everything apart from the thumb nails of frequently used sites on a new tab. I know there should be a 3 x 3 grid in the top right corner but it doesn't show. How do I get it back, please?

    You can reset the <b>browser.newtab.url</b> via the right-click context menu to the default value (about:newtab) to get the new tab page with the thumbnails.

  • My calendar has disappeared; how do I get it back?

    This morning when I opened outlook, my calendar had disappeared.
    I am running Windows XP with Thunderbird 31.1.2 and have Lightning 3.3.1 (enabled).
    Calendar is now greyed-out under View.
    The last significant thing I did last night was to delete many messages and compact my folders.
    I have received many emails and added several calendar items since my last backup (4 days ago) and I would rather not have to go back to that.
    Why has the calendar disappeared and how can I get it back?

    Confusing? View is where you modify the view of an existing window. If you want the today pane to appear in the main email window that is where you find that option.
    Confusing is when you say you want a Thunderbird feature to appear in a Firefox window. :)
    Confusing is where your question seems to indicate that you have lost the entire Lightning calendar program and says nothing about just being able to see if in the today pane.
    Glad you got it sorted out.

  • Everything in my iTunes has disappeared, how do I get it back?

    Basically, I went into my iTunes to discover that everything (Music, TV Shows, Films etc.) has disappeared. I have regretingly not back up my files, therefore I am asking if anyone knows how to get my files back?

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
