I do not appear to have the "main" Firefox tab in the top left corner to enable me to clear history. I have reinstalled FF but it is still not there.

In the Firefox help video they show a Firefox icon in the very top left of the window. This is a drop down tab where one of the items is the clear history option. I do not have this tab and have tried reinstalling Firefox but it is still not there. On the video it is shown above the File / Edit / View etc options.

If you don't have the Firefox button, you're using the classic view. To restore the new view of Firefox (Changed in Version 4):
* View > Toolbars > Menubar [Uncheck]
In Firefox 6 you can use this to clear your history/other offline content:
Click on the Firefox button on top left part of your browser:
* History > Clear Recent History
There you can select what you want to clear.
If you want to see the menu bar you can press alt on your keyboard so you can see file/view/...
Also for activating it to always be there follow this (Classic view of Firefox):
* Firefox > Options > Menu Bar
Don't forget to hit the 'Solved it' button if this solved your problem so the topic will be closed.

Open tab doesn't work when hitting the + or going to file, open new tab. automatic ones will work, but not manually.

does not open tabs by hitting the + or by selecting file, open new tab. i am operating under mac os x software and have updated firefox twice now with no resolution to this issue.

Many users have discovered this problem (in Firefox 30 and higher) is caused by Conduit add-ons, such as a Conduit plugin and/or a "Community Toolbar" extension.
You can check for and disable extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Command+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
(1) In the left column, click Plugins. Set nonessential plugins to "Never Activate".
(2) In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Does that help with the "+" button? If so, could you name the specific plugin/extension that caused the problem?

Why I cannot open a link in a new tab, since I upgraded firefox to the latest version ?

I can't open a google search option in a new tab, since I upgraded Firefox to version 33.0. I also cannot downgrade firefox, to solve this problem.

Hello,
'''Try [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]]''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes). See the [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]] article for more information.
If Open Link in new tab works in Safe mode, one of the extensions/add-ons (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) was causing the problem. Then let us know what extension or plugin are you using that causes this problem.
'''You can also try the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|Reset Firefox Feature]].''' The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your bookmarks, history, passwords, cookies, and other essential information.
See the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article for more information.
To Reset Firefox:
# Open the Troubleshooting Information page using one of these methods:
#*Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''. A new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
#*If you're unable to access the Help menu, type '''about:support''' in your address bar to bring up the Troubleshooting Information page.
#At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Reset Firefox" that looks like this: [[Image:Button reset]]. Click on it.

I have a I-MAC and have used firefox, but lately it will not open from the dock, any suggestions?

As stated above, have used Firefox from the dock for quite a long time, but recently it did not do anything when I clicked on it, just sat there. Have been able to get to it using spotlight, but even then have to go thru extra steps and go thru a step that says something like "this application was downloaded from the internet. Do you want to open it? YES/ NO " Any ideas ? Should I dump it and reinstall, and if so , how would I uninstall?

When opening new tab, using ctrl, moving directly to the next tab

when i open new tab using ctrl+left click it moving directly to the next tab, but i check the option menu then tab section, all sentence has a tick except the fifth one
i can't remove this to the origin, and i uninstall firefox and reinstall it many time

Tab mix plus https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/
also solves that problem, it has the option to focus the search box.

Click on URL in email, open new tab in browser, BUT stay in same Thunderbird email

There used to be a way to click on a link (URL) in an email that would open a new tab/window in the browser (Firefox), BUT stay in Thunderbird - similar to what Ctrl-Left-click does in Google search results in Firefox.
My work flow is usually to open several links, staying in Thunderbird and then when I'm done - go to Firefox to look at them all. E.g. I get a stackexchange weekly summary email, click on all the topics that look interesting and then, when I'm done selecting them, go look at them in Firefox.
I don't want to be forced to jump back and forth for every link, one at a time. This used to work.
Is there a preference or add-on that will do this - or anything else?

I'm not aware of any complete reference to all preferences that offer a full explanation of what each does, what the Value means and how to use in a problem-oriented fashion.
But the list below does help:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Category:Preferences
http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config
http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config_entries
http://www-archive.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html#ui
http://preferential.mozdev.org/preferences.html
there is also a postscript module used by eg: linux

Margins are set up here:
File > Page Setup > Margins & header/Footer
or via File > Print Preview > Page Setup button
Helpful hints:
if you have Margins (millimeters)
and set eg: Bottom margin as 20.0
then look in config editor, you will see:
print.printer_XX.print_margin_bottom; Value = 0.787500023841858
This seemed odd at first. All Values in config were being converted to inches represented in a decimal format.
If you ever need to change the margins from millimeter to inches:
Print.printer_xx.print_paper_size_unit Value: = 1
Change the Value to 0 (zero) to get inches
If you change the Value to 0 for inches and then reopen:
File > Page Setup > Margins & header/Footer
you will see the Bottom margin has auto changed from 20.0 (mm) to 0.8 (inches rounded up), so although the display is different in File > Page Setup > Margins & header/Footer tab, the actual information in config preferences remains unchanged as it is saved in decimal inches format used by US as default.
if using millimeters then the paper size would be A4 210 x 297 mm.
Although looking in the config preferences it will say paper width 8.50 and paper height 11.00.
Usually, you can change the paper size when you select to Print and look in Print Properties. I'm in UK and using millimeters so get A4; the US uses Letter 8½ x 11 inches.
So I can see how it could be confusing to anyone using millimeters and then sees, what appears like wrong data in preferences.

ITunes 11 - I can't manually manage my files. Is there a work around? I have manually manage clicked. I win7 32. It worked after awhile after updating then it just stopped. I have reinstalled 11 but the same issue ocurred!

Sorry this is the 1st time and I don't know what to do. I have lost the ability to manually manage my music/video files. After upgrading it worked for a few days as I was adding music to my phone. After 2 days, I couldn't anymore. I have windows 7 ultimate 32, iTunes 11, and iPhone 4 on 6.0.1. With the iPhone connected, under the summary page, manually manger is clicked. iTunes Match is off in iTunes and on phone. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. Copied my media back into the media folder. I have also done a factory reset and restored from back up and still can't add music manually. All my music is stored on an external be aide the media folder is in the primary hard drive. I can try adding to the iTunes library and add that way without manually adding each song but I feel that defeats the purpose. I'm in contact with individual DJs that make their own music and yes it is sold intubes and that was never the issue before. I will do a factory reset on the phone, so a clean install of 11 again and just add my apps back but I don't know what else to do. Also, I am only using one computer to manage my files and it is the only computer authorized for my phone. There is no other computer! I am open to any ideas.
Thank you in advance
Caliph3001. - krusade.net

Update:
I mean that the dj's create their own music and the music isn't sold in iTunes. Also, I have done the factory reset clean, installation of Itunes 11 (*lost all of my apps - yeah the back up i have didn't have all the apps or they are read as apps but said that they are missing - redownloading them now the ones that can be retrieved now) and it still gives me the black "no" arrow when trying to drag and drop - but I have figured that I would just copy the files into the main library, but it defeats the purpose of having an external with all my files. Is there away to get iTunes to recognize my hd as the library? A new issue developed, it kept saying that it was connected to another library and to connect it would have to erase everything on the phone so I agreed. And it seems to be fine now besides the copy and paste. I have added a few more issues that risen since this began below.
A few more questions:
After a clean installation: I have lost most of the paid apps. Does Itunes back up a history or was it stricly on my computer? Some of these were paid apps and I dont want to have to purchase them again. There should be something connected to your name within the store account that stores all the purcchase you have made and allow you to redownload them as in the playstation network. Also, how do people retrieve lost apps if the only back up was on their computer that crashed? Is there any to get Itunes to recognize my external HD as a library of my music?

When I open a new tab, I have to move to the other side of the page to click "home". Can I set the same "home" default for new tabs?

My home page opens in the initial FireFox window, but new tabs open with a blank page. To get to my default page I have to click "home", but now it's way over on the other side of the page.
Can I set a default for new tabs?

right click on the control bar and choose "adapt" (or something like that). A window will pop up. Ignore that window and move the home button to the place you want it ''on the control bar''

When I do a Google search Firefox will not connect me to the links. The only way for me to connect to the listed pages is to right click on the link and open in a new tab or window. I have reinstalled Firefox and the issue still remains.

I run windows 7 on a Gateway FX6000 series computer. This issue has been going on for some time. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. There are not any malware programs on my machine according to the scans I have run using Ad-Aware. If I use another browser I can connect to Google search links with no problems.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

In Firefox 3.6 and later on Windows you can hide the "Menu Bar" via "View > Toolbars" or via the right-click context menu on a toolbar.
Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the "Menu Bar" or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).

How do I change my tab settings so that opening new tabs doesn't jerk me off the page I'm on!? Trying to find simple answers is like pulling my own teeth!

I think the question is obvious.

In the Options window go to the Tabs panel and de-select the setting "When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately"

How do I get Firefox to open new tabs with my homepage instead of the top sites?

When I open a new tab, I get the top sites page. I want this to open to my home page.
I already changed my home page in the tool and when I go to it now, it still says what I want my home page to be, but new tabs still open wrong

By default in Firefox a new tab opens a blank page. You have something installed which changed that action, and that "something" sounds like it may not be working correctly.
