64-bit Firefox Toolbars Painted Incorrectly (Messed Up Rendering)

The toolbars of the 64-bit version of firefox are pixellated and incorrectly painted. 32-bit version is fine.
Here's a screenshot:

(This happens on ''all'' themes; it has nothing to do with my particular visual style in Windows. Also, this is ''without'' hardware rendering.)

I misunderstood you. No, I do not have the Flash plugin at all. My problem is that Firefox and Adobe are confused about which version is the correct one for me...
Firefox's Plugin Finder Service :- Attempts to assist me in installing 11.1.102.62, which fails because Adobe doesn't provide it.
helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html :- Lists 11.1.102.62 as the current player for Windows.
www.adobe.com/software/flash/about :- Lists 11.1.102.63 as the correct player for "Windows Firefox".
get.adobe.com/flashplayer :- Automatically provides a download of 11.1.102.63, stating that this is the one for "Windows 64-bit, English, Firefox".

I had my nephew clean out my cookie's etc. Now I cannot find my firefox toolbar. I need to fix my private browsing and am unable to now w/o toolbar.

Used to open to facebook, now it makes me log in every time, so I tried to correct this by going to my firefox toolbar and fixing it...well, there is NO tool bar now. Do not know how to fix without tools. I think he also has it to where my cookies are being deleted each time I shut down my lap top. NOT cool! I use my laptop daily and this is annoying when I can't even fix that problem.

Hi,
You can try to right-click on the + after the last tab and enable (tick) the '''Menu Bar'''. If it still refuses to appear you can try pressing '''Alt '''+ '''H '''(Help menu) > '''Troubleshooting Information''' > '''Show Folder''', exit Firefox, delete the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Localstore.rdf localstore.rdf] file and then try the previous procedure.

Firefox 3.6.8. messed up an older version of Firefox

As the title indicates, I believe that installing Firefox 3.6.8. messed up my favorite version of Firefox, version 1.5.0.3, or something like that on Windows XP SP3. I installed 3.6.8. to another folder, like I did a while back with 3.0.1, which is still on my computer, and thought it would function just the same and not enable my older version useless, but it seemingly has done so. I did not move any Firefox related folders prior to installation. Assuming you can see the picture that will hopefully work when viewed, you can see there's what looks to be an error message on the bottom. Also, you might notice that there is a lot of stuff missing, like the 'Go' button, search field, that circle with 8 smaller circles, and also all of the other stuff that should be there in the about:config. It's like it set itself for a larger resolution or something and I just can't get to what would normally be on the right side. The window doesn't get much larger than when its set at maximized. So almost all websites are not viewable because everything the site has is off screen to the right.
I don't know what to do at this point, I tried searching for info but it's hard trying to figure out what exactly to search for. I uninstalled both versions, moved both mozilla folders in the application data folders to somewhere else, and then reinstalled my favorite version but the problem was still the same. Luckily I kept the old folders otherwise I would've lost my extensions(called add-ons now) and bookmarks. I'm aware that the obvious option is to just use the newer ones, but I've grown accustomed to that version and I like how simple it looks. I'm hoping it's an easy fix, haha. If it is a matter of my version being just too old and nobody knows anything about it anymore, then I'm fine with that. But, if someone could help me out here I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thank you for taking the time out to reply. I don't know whether or not your suggestions would have worked, but I did solve my problem. I eventually figured out that the file, overlay.xul, was doing something and when I changed the filename, the bar went away.
I was reading that the xul error usually meant something wrong with an extension, but that didn't make sense because after uninstalling/reinstalling, there were no extensions present, on an assumption, of course. I noticed a file through a search, and it was located in a folder without a mozilla/firefox name in it, looked like a randomly generated folder name. I looked in the extensions. ini and noticed it pointed to that overlay.xul file in that random named folder and thought, what the hell, and just renamed the overlay.xul file to something else and the problem went away.
Thanks again.

When will Firefox offer a 64-bit version ? I use my 32-bit Firefox,but keep my 64-bit Waterfox and Pale Moon ready, when Firefox crashes on Windows 8.

I am a Firefox Veteran. Been around since the NCSA web browser days and used the first Firefox web browsers. I have never liked or trusted Microsoft Windows, so I've never used Internet Explorer. I had tweaked Windoze Blue Screen Of Death software from the Windows 3.0 days and did minor maintenance on the "Pizza Boxes" to keep them alive until I or my duty station could afford a newer one. Firefox has always performed for me working for "Uncle Sam" or at home. I keep Firefox and the versions: Sea Monkey, Aurora, Nightly on my laptop because I like Firefox and I like to switch from one browser to the other sometimes -- plus, in a Windows crash, I have a backup browser. Windows always "Crashes"; somethings never change. My 32-bit Firefox doesn't seem as reliable on my 64-bit 'Windoze' 8 as it was on Windows 7. My hope is that some of the Firefox Gurus have a 64-bit Firefox up on blocks in the shed out back ready to rock and roll or at least release as experimental to be played with and tested. Thanks guys -- Keep up the good work. Sam

Someday. This is a question asked multiple times but the answer is always the same, there is no real benefit to moving to 64 bit Firefox, and the amount of work required to do something with no benefit makes this a low priority. Eventually it will happen, but just because it uses 64bit doesn't magically make things better.

When I upgraded from v4 to v5 my bookmarks was lost. I do have the one that is in the firefox toolbar. Apparently I had a bookmarks add-on. V5 changed my browser how can I determine what the program was and if the bookmarks are still there?

I have a lot of wasted space at the top of my laptop screen, because the Firefox toolbars take a line for each. Is it possible to combine them on one line, like you used to be able to do in MS Word, e.g. ?

My new laptop screen is very wide, but proportionately not so high. When running Firefox, Web pages are forced down the screen by the toolbars, so that I can't see the whole page without scrolling down. If I could combine / arrange the toolbars on one, or at least fewer, lines, the Web pages wouldn't get shunted down as much.

Yes, you can rearrange / move the elements of the default Firefox Toolbars and combine to save space by using the Customize mode, see this. 
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar 
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Toolbar_customization
As far as the Site Advisor add-on - with add-on Toolbars your results will vary depending upon the Toolbar add-on. Some Toolbar developers do a minimal job and their product isn't as customizable to the extent that Firefox provides for; where other Toolbar add-ons were done the "right way" and they are as customizable as the default Firefox Toolbars.

Windows Vista 64 bit/firefox browser -which flash?

Hi, Can you please tell me what version of flash to install on Windows Vista 64 bit/ firefox browser?..Thanks!

Well, Firefox doesn't make a 64-bit version, so it won't use any 64-bit plugins, as far as I know.
Likewise, in IE10 (in Win7 or 8... MS blackmail encouraging you to update), unless you've checked Enable Protected Mode on the Security tab, AND have checked Enable Enhanced Protected Mode way down in the Security section on the Advanced tab (both tabs are in Internet Options), even if you explicitly run the 64-bit iexplore.exe file located in C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\ subdir, it actually loads a 32-bit tab in the 64-bit window, and any page loaded in that 32-bit tab will use 32-bit plugins and add-ons. To force it to load 64-bit tabs in the 64-bit window (and ergo use 64-bit plugins and add-ons, such as the 64-bit ActiveX version of FlashPlayer, if available), both of those Protected Mode options must be checked.
You can confirm that by looking in Task Manager on the Processes tab... without those Protected Mode options checked, you'll see an instance of iexplore.exe (for each 64-bit window) and an instance of iexplore.exe *32 (32-bit) for each tab open; WITH those Protected Mode options checked (then fully close all instances of Internet Explorer - just reboot to make sure), all you'll see is an instance of iexplore.exe for each 64-bit window, plus an instance of iexplore.exe for each tab open... and in that case you shouldn't see *any* instances of iexplore.exe *32 on the Processes tab.

How do I install a "Printe"r-s" icon on the Mozilla Firefox toolbar?

About five years ago I purchased an HP laptop running Windows 7. It's become outdated, slow, and unreliable.
Last week, I purchased and downloaded Windows 8, and downloaded Mozilla Firefox for free as well. Wow!
Just like a new, much better computer.
One problem. I can print from my email site without any trouble. However, I cannot print from a
web page because there is no printer icon on my Mozilla Firefox toolbar, as there was on my Windows 7 toolbar.
I can transfer any of 158 apps to my new toolbar, but those I don't need yet.
How can I transfer a working "Printer-s" icon onto my Firefox toolbar?
Thank you.

Many thanks, madperson,
I did as you suggested with the "Customize Firefox" panel, and easily dragged and dropped the "Printer-s" icon to the toolbar, where it works like a charm.
Thanks again,
SCHOLAR

I have customized my Firefox toolbar. After closing the browser and then reopening it, the toolbar has returned to the way it was before I customized it. How do I get my customization of the toolbar to become permanent?

I have customized my Firefox toolbar several times. After closing the browser and then reopening it, the toolbar has returned to the way it was before I customized it each time. How do I get my customization of the toolbar to become permanent?
It has occurred with Firefox 4.0.1 and 5.0

see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf
Take a picture of your toolbars so you can easily reconstruct them from the default after solving the the problem.
If it happens to you it will probably happen again in the future so you might want to keep some copies of your modified localstore.rdf file so you can delete the bad one and rename one of the replacements in waiting. Saving, copying and renaming must be done with Firefox down, of course.

My firefox toolbar disappeared and I can't do what the solutions say because I don't have a back arrow, file button, tool button, bookmark button, help button, or navagation bar, so how do I get my toolbar back?

How do I restore my firefox toolbar? It was my main toolbar. My other one is google. And then another site tried to install a toolbar that I did not want. When I unchecked to get rid of it, apparently I unchecked the firefox toolbar by accident. I don't know if that's what happened for sure, but I'm guessing that's what happened.

When will get 64-bit PDF converter for 64-bit Firefox variants (Cyberfox, Waterfox, etc.)

I use 64-bit Firefox variants (Cyberfox, Waterfox, etc.), and am frustrated that the PDF Converter addin with Acrobat Pro X and XI does not yet work with them. I understand that a 64-bit DLL is needed for the add-in to work. Inasmuch as the PDF converter works with 64-bit IE-9 and IE-10 and Office2007/2010, I am at a loss to understand why a 64-bit PDF converter add-in for Firefox 64-bit variants is not available. WHEN?
Thank you.

Can I run 32 bit firefox on my Windows 7, 64 bit and how ? Flash player loads slow.

Can I run 32 bit Firefox on my Windows 7, 64 bit and how do I do that? Flash player loads videos slowly. You tube videos are mostly loading slowly or hanging up. It seems to have happened after the last Firefox update.

Does that program require the Flash Player ActiveX Control, or the plugin? If you only have the ActiveX Control (for Internet Explorer) installed, then you may also need the plugin (for other browsers). Get it from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/

My "Back" arrow disappeared from my Firefox toolbar and I can't find a way to go back to a previous page. How can I get it back on?

Hey kayo410,
Sounds like they might have accidentally been removed from the toolbar. The toolbar can be customized pretty extensively, so it's not an uncommon mistake. Take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[Back and forward or other toolbar items are missing]]. It will show you how to restore the buttons.
Hopefully this helps!
