Where is the top of firefox?!

The buttons on the top right ("X" "_"etc) are missing, and the top left button ("firefox") has 4 arrows instead of one. I recently had to uninstall and reinstall firefox and when I reinstalled it this happened. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling once more, the problem has persisted. The entire top bar seems to be missing, it was cut off. When I put it into full screen the problem goes away.
my computer was running slow so I decided to restore it a few weeks back when I had installed a program.
I had to reinstall firefox 4 (as it is pretty recent) when I opened it this problem popped up, I closed and opened it again, still there. I uninstalled and reinstalled firefox and again, still there.
Also, when the bar comes up asking if I want the password for a site remembered it has the four down arrows instead of one and the middle of the button is missing and the remaining distorted and skewed.
My tabs also have no way of closing them down. While playing around trying to find other problems I found out that in the "customize" page where you customize the buttons you want and the little lines and such, that page is SCREWED up! lol. its showing multiple of each icon and many are distorted or skewed much like the 'remember password' drop down. after that i had noticed that many of my saved icons were cut out as well, I don't remember which ones they were but they're still missing. and lastly, (as far as I found) in the navigation bar has an obnoxious bar cutting through the star button and the down arrow button, and the down arrow button is clearly out of place and skewed.
Wait never mind, one more problem! There is a small brown arrow underneath the space in between the first and second tab.
Thank you for any help.

Thanks. And yeah I figure out the favorites were bookmarks, but all my old favorites didn't get transferred. NO big deal though, easy enough to rebuild anew. And yeah, it really did speed up the internet. And I like the personas. Way to go folks, you make people smile and that makes it worth it.... Thanks again, Alan

When I navigate web with Firefox my Thinkpad trackpoint center button is not working. With other web browsers it works well. Where is the problem in firefox, how to enable TrackPoint center button?

When I navigate web with Firefox my Thinkpad trackpoint center button is not working. With other web browsers it works well. Where is the problem in firefox, how to enable TrackPoint center button?

I have exactly the same settings in Options (in both computers)
for history, these 2 add-ons and all other stuff in Options. The only difference is that on 1 pc sessions can be saved and closed tabs can be reopened, on other main pc they stopped to work. + no any other add-on that does similar things works on this pc.
It is also interesting that I can reopen closed visited sites from History Panel, but not by pressing the Button. For now I only manually bookmark links to a temporary folder.
Recently (some 2 month ago) I pressed x and Firefox closed all tabs without saving them without displaying save & quit pop up.
so I changed 4 settings in about.config
browser.tabs.warn on close true
browser.warn on quit true
browser.warn on restart true
browser.show.quit warning true
but the problem with sessions appeared only 1 week ago.
So I guess the problem is not with the History settings or other settings. Seems that something responsible for button or for storing info about tabs/sessions got corrupted. :(

How to put the find bar (Ctrl+F) at the top of Firefox instead of the bottom

My search function or find function bar or whatever it's called (Ctrl+F) to find words in a document has always been at the top of the page of Firefox, always. But ever since I let them update me to the most recent one, FIrefox 25 or something, it is now at the bottom and I am really saddened by this.
I don't mind that they changed the design, but for heaven sakes all I'm asking is you move it back to the top or tell me how. I'm not looking for added nifty doodads or add-ons or large segments of code to try to fix this, I just want you to move it to the top instead of bottom.

I know it's at the top are you sure when you say "always" at the bottom? Are you talking in terms of 2009? 2008? Previous years? I know it's always been at the top and I'm not one for addons, I have stylish and imagezoom for the past 4 years, and have recently added adblock plus and 'grab and drab' to the mix this year. Of course find bar was still at the top then.
It was at the top and the actual place where you type the word was to the top right, god I wish I'd screencapped it because now it's been 3 weeks since this has happened and I'm doubting myself what it originally looked like...
EDIT: Never mind there was a user styles type formula to put the find bar to the top

I'll try it out for a few days and if it's working fine I'll consider the problem a-ok.

Where did the quality of Firefox go ?

I have been using firefox since it came out. Right after Netscape in fact. It had just about always been a light weight browser. Fast and it worked. Very few glitches. But over the past few versions, the quality has gone down hill. Why ? Whom ever is in charge of it, has lost focus. Please solve the glitches. There are graphical glitches as well as download glitches. Actually there are a lot of glitches that are even memory related. And I have read post after post, with not one of these problems getting fixed. I have even posted questions, and I get the same exact response every time "please reset in safe mode" ... "shut your anti-virus off" ... and one time I even got the response "get chrome, its better". Seriously ? has firefox gotten this bad that we all have to resort to chrome ? I can't stand chrome. But if one were to sit back and look at firefox, its JUST LIKE CHROME ! I don't not like the looks of or the direction of Firefox because its like the developers prefer chrome. ???? #$%#$%?#$?%#?$%
I know about forcing us firefox users to have to CHANGE our settings to go back to the old style, but with each new update, it resets and you just get tired of doing that. WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TOO ! I loved firefox the way it WAS. But now with all this bloated crap that is getting installed into Firefox lately, its no longer viable as a good choice between the major browsers. It's pathetic that i am being forced to have to go to chrome because it can handle more then 2 tabs open without falling apart. I'm very disappointed in Mozollia team. It's like they don't care anymore. The Quality is gone.
I know I am ranting here, but dang it, I have been waiting for even half these bugs to get fixed for the past 8 version updates. All I am seeing is more "features" and not enough fixes. The graphical tab glitches, the lock ups, all because of something gone wrong with these past updates. I have even seen people complain about it in the forums here. Like I said, even I posted a problem about the failed downloads. And people tried the usual responses. but apparently no one has a clue whats really going on with firefox because its become too bloated. I said it once and I'll repeat it.. The Quality in Firefox is gone.
If I get banned or this post gets censored, it just goes to show whats been happening to firefox lately.

<blockquote>
What are the graphical glitches? The most common cause of pixels ending up having the wrong content is an incompatibility with your graphics card/chipset driver software. As newer versions of Firefox turn on new graphical features, these keep cropping up because the beta test program doesn't represent the full diversity of systems used by Firefox users. I don't see any solution to that, but we deal with this all the time, so let us know/see your symptoms and then we can make suggestions.</blockquote>
I am using latest Graphics drivers from NVidia. I have the GTX 680 with 2 Gigs ram. My friend has the AMD R9 ( I don't recall which one ) and he has the same problem. This problem has existed for the past several updates. Also, I am not using anything beta, I am using the releases that are from firefox only. If they send me an update I update because usually updates are about security. Which I am for that and its something I respect about firefox in general.
An example of the graphical glitch is when you open a tab, the graphics won't update to let you see the new tab. I have my settings set that if I open a new tab it will automatically switch to the other newly opened tab. I see the new tab open, and I can see that it is the newly current shown tab. But the "info" inside that tab does not update. Sometimes the tab itself messes up and it won't completely draw itself. This is the graphical glitches I see. This happens even if I have no plugins loaded. I have spent the last several versions trying to solve this. Updating drivers.. etc etc. It all boils down to firefox.
<blockquote>
Can you describe what you're running into more specifically? </blockquote>
I have an desktop toolbar that tells me what memory usage is. Firefox has a tendency to raise the memory to the max 20 gigs I have on my computer. ( Yes I have 20 gigs System ram on this Quad Xeon computer system ) Keep in mind, it does this randomly, and at random websites. This is not a constant occurrence and difficult to reproduce. However, after a lot of observation, I am starting to believe it has to do with websites that have flash installed and I do not have flash installed. I do not like flash. I use HTML5 if the website offers it. Which most of the time it does. I watch a lot of youtube videos. Come to think of it, it is possible that videos are the issue here and the HTML5 side of it is the problem. I love HTML5, don't get me wrong, but in Firefox it may not be completely working yet.
This is my thinking at least, I could be completely off here on this.
<blockquote>
Firefox should not reset its UI after updates. Only extensions incompatible with a new version should be disabled, and their configuration data should be preserved so that you can update the extension and be back where you were. If you are losing settings after an update, it's possible that the "Refresh" feature is running. Have you noticed a new or growing "Old Firefox Data" folder on your desktop?
</blockquote>
Yea, for the past several updates, it keeps resetting everything when I run an update. So I am forced to "fix" it back and I had given up after this latest update. I am just using the default because I see no point anymore. Too old and tired to fight this. Whatever happened to simplicity like back in the 70s and 80s when stuff just ran and it worked. Netscape was my fave in the late 90s and then when firefox came out I fell in love again. Now.. I'm loosing my love... It's why I posted this message, I am frustrated and I am ranting in the hopes that someone gets the hint to please please please, don't loose the quality that firefox was known for.

Hi. On the buttons labeled Back, Forward, Reload, Stop, and Home on the top of Firefox page used to be all right beside each other on the left, followed by the Address Bar and then the Search Bar.

However, I wanted to try Firefox Beta 4 but didn't like it, especially since I'd lose all my add-ons! So i have Firefox 3.6.13, but now my bar at the top is Back, Forward, then Address Bar, the Reload, Stop, Search Bar, and then Home. How do I get it the way it was before?! Please help!
I also had a buttong for AiOS (All-in-One-Side Bar) which I really like and now it gone! I cant find it in the preferences either! Please help. I would insert images to help but I guess I cant do that here.

Thank you SO much! That completely solved all the issues! You've made my day! Thanks!

Where is the top banner picture of the "default " server homepage stored?

Hey!
I have set up a Mac Mini Server Snow Leopard and it's running fine. I'm hosting my own page and I kind of like the "look" of the "server hompage"/update where the three boxes to choose from appear. The only thing I would like to do is to change the top banner "Mac OS X Server". Anyone know where this is stored so I can chnage only that?

Me again! The "/default" shouldn't be there of course. Just the top banner you see when going to the index file.

Where is the top toolbar on the desktop

Just got a Mac Mini. I can't seem to get the top toolbar to appear. Is it no longer on the new OS ?

Should be there. Try restarting the computer. If that doesn't work, then reinstall OS X.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

I am trying to transfer the bookmarks etc to a new profile i made because the old profile kept crashing all the help articles atre for older versions where is the support for firefox 4.0

I do not know what else to say except the support is very sketchy and I need help

Support articles for the various versions of Firefox are automatically shown based upon the version of Firefox that is used to view those support pages. If you use a different browser to view the support pages, you might need to select the correct version of an article on the right-side of the page.

Where is the top part of iTunes?

I just updated the iTunes and now the top part of the iTunes window is gone. It doesn't show the song or time or any of that. The three dots on the left side are gone too. Sorry, not sure what those are called.
Thanks

I found it. It was the dock.

Firefox wants to update and when I tell it yes it has a box that says "software update" that comes up and just says at the top Downloading Firefox but below that it continues to say CONNECTING to update server

This has been going on for weeks now. I've left it alone for a long time and when I come back the box still says "connecting to update server" - no evidence it actually updates - and Firefox keeps saying it wants to update - have used firefox for years and never had this problem before and the internet is working just fine.

If you have problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.<br />
You may need to remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean install of the new version.
Do a clean (re-)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Where are the bookmarks after Firefox Sync?

I appear to have successfully synched my android device with my Firefox desktop. The Firefox android settings show "Connected" enabled, and I have a date and time for Last update.
However, I can't see the bookmarks (or any other other sync data). Would you please let me know where/how I access them on my android device (Samsung Galaxy S2)?
Thanks,
Ray

Thank you ... that is very helpful indeed!
I have nested bookmark folders. Presumably Mozilla knows that when pressing the 'go to previous screen' back button from a nested folder on an android device, you are returned to the original web page itself rather than the previous nested folder?
Thank you.
Ray

I cannot see the 'File, Edit, View...Help' options at the top of Firefox. How can I restore these?

I do not know how to get access to the 'File, Edit, Veiw...' etc. otions which I do not have in my version of Firefox. I have tried Firefox support but nothing seems to come up. What should I do?

The [[menu bar is missing]] article shows how to restore it.

Amazon Website - Where's the top of the page?

I am using Safari, and when I go to Amazon, the Amazon heading and search box that used to appear is gone. I have no idea what happened, but could someone tell me if there is a setting in Mac OS to fix this?
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply, Matt. The actual Amazon search bar on the Amazon website, not the Safari add-on/extension. I don't think the page width is the problem. Also, using Firefox, the page displays normally.
I thought it might be some kind of setting with Growl or Glims, but did not see anything relating to Amazon.

When I start typing in a web address, the browser opens up the menu bar. For example, if I start typing "youtube" the cursor goes to the top of Firefox and opens Yahoo.

Another example, typing "b" opens bookmarks

It sounds as though Firefox thinks you have pressed or are holding down the Alt key. If you tap the key vigorously, does it unstick? You might also try restarting Firefox or Windows.
