Add ons tool bar and tabs disappeared when opened closed browser.

I have deleted and re-installed 17.01 three times now. The first time was to get into my bank site. The second because I still was having problems with downloading. My browser has been working well for about a couple of weeks. I was using the browser, closed it with tabs open (oh, and I haven't had a tab open alert, since upgrading to 17). Normally, when I reopen the browser, all the tabs are there and open. This time, the tabs were open but my add on tool bar on top was closed, even though it was checked to be open. I closed the browser, and reopened it, and not only was the add on tool bar gone, but now all the tabs were gone too. I uninstalled and re-installed 17.01, and nothing changed. I have come to hate 17 with a passion.
And, no, I haven't installed anything new, and I don't have tab mix (what ever that is) add on.

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

My app tabs disappeared when opening my browser. How do I get them back, without doing a system restore to yesterday?

When I opened firefox as my browser, I accidentally clicked on it twice, it opened two sessions. I closed one session, but, as it turns out I closed the session that had all of my app tabs, leaving the page that had none of my app tabs.
Now, I cannot get my app tabs back.
I tried doing a session restore to the previous session and that didn't help.
How can I get the correct session, with my app tabs in place, without doing a) a system restore point on the whole computer or b) restarting the computer?

On your iPod Touch, open the iTunes app. There should be tab named "purchased", which shows all your purchase history. Choose the "Not on this iPod" tab and you'll get a list of purchased products that are not on your device. Hope this helped.

Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.
Open the Firefox disk image (DMG) file and drag the Firefox program to the application folder on your hard drive. 
You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but drag it out of the DMG folder instead.

Why doesn't the address bar and tabs work after opening a PDF?

I am using Firefox 3.6.16 and windows 7. When I open a PDF file using adobe reader in Firefox the address bar becomes inoperable for any other tabs I have open or open subsequently. This occurs until the tab the pdf file is open on is closed. I tried upgrading to Firefox 4 but apparently the problem is amplified in that as once a PDF file is opened even if you close the tab its on nothing works until you restart Firefox. I am using adobe reader X but had the same issue with 9. Thanks in advance for any help.

I just upgraded and lost my bookmarks, tool bar and tabs at thre bottom. Even the green bar is gone

I don't know any more details. I just want my computer back to where it was before upgrading firefox

If you do not like the new appearance of Firefox 4 then you can change some setting to restore the Firefox 3 appearance.
You can right click the orange Firefox button to open the toolbar context menu or use (F10) View > Toolbars.
* Click the Menu Bar entry to make the Menu Bar visible all the time.
* Click "Tabs on Top" to remove the check mark and place the Tab Bar at its original position just above the browser window.

I accidently unmarked the book marks tool bar, the tool bar and the menu bar how do i get them back ?becaus now only the tabs are visible and i cant access my features or book marks

i was getting to know my firefox so i accidentally unmarked the menu bar the book marks tool bar and the tool bar. so now only my tabs are visible and i cant get to any of my add-ons or extensions.
and even surfing the net has become difficult cause there is almost nothing i can do with a new empty tab.
how can i get these bars back. i tried taking the cursor up to the thin line above the tabs and the window border but the menu to mark the above mentioned features does not appear any more.
i tried restarting firefox several times but it didn't work. i even uninstalled and completely downloaded a new version of firefox and installed it but the problem still persists.
i am operations system is windows XP.

Firefox 3.6+ versions have a feature to allow the user to hide the Menu bar.
Hit the '''Alt''' key to temporarily show the Menu bar, then open View > Toolbars and select Menu bar, so it has a check-mark. 
The F10 can also be used on most PC's to temporarily reveal the Menu bar.

How do you set the "add-on" tool bar to disapear when it's inactive?

I discovered the bottom of the page "add-on" tool bar.
I downloaded the progress bar and it's working just great. Exactly as it should be.
Now, how do you make the bottom "add-on" tool bar disappear when it's "inactive" and become "visible" only when it's "active"?

Hrm... that may be true and this may be a function of the phone email client that Apple just doesn't do.
No, I can easily MANUALLY delete the messages. I would prefer if I didn't have to do it twice, tho. Once on the mail server and once on the phone.
What I think the phone needs to do is, when it checks the POP, anything NOT there should be removed locally. I think you are correct on POP; the phone will poll the mx (mail exchanger) and the mx will pass off the messages to the phone. The phone then keeps ALL of that unitl you manually delete it.
If, say, I remove a message from the mx, I would like the phone, when next polls, to see that that particular message isn't on the server anymore and remove it locally.
Perhaps it's just me but if I delete the message on the mx itself, via my ISP's webmail interface, I really don't want to have to remove it again from my phone.
thxs!

Good point BDAqua, the Escape key helps get me back to reality in Lion.
While I've only dabbled around a little in Lion since it's release (I upgraded a 10.6 Clone to Lion on one of my FireWire Drives) now I'm currently downloading Mountain Lion (to upgrade a Clone of that Lion Clone) so that now I can continue to move forward in madness.
P.S. Trust me, I'm not laughing.

charmi,
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

HT3964 My tool bar and icons do not appear when I turn on my desktop iMac what can I do about it?

Does everything appear if you just click anywhere on the Desktop? This happens at random to me and it's a known bug (at least in 10.6.)

My Thunderbird page is screwed up - there is no address book appearing in the tool bar and i do not see a "write" tab - just "message" how can I restore back to normal?
Would so much appreciate help... frustrating.

Sounds like you are missing the Mail Toolbar.
Do you have a Menu Bar with File-Edit-View etc?
If not press the alt key to make it appear.
From the Menu Bar select View-Toolbars and turn the missing toolbars back on.
Write and Address Book are on the Mail Toolbar.
FYI: The alt key or F10 will make a missing toolbar appear in most applications.

There is a frequent flashing above my tool bar and sometimes a flashing black box appears over my Yahoo news. How do I make it Stop??b

There is a bright flashing light over my tool bar and sometimes a flashing black box appears over the Yahoo news. I tried Reset Firefox and that didn't work. I then uninstalled and re-installed Firefox and I still have the seizure inducing flashing lights.
When I switch to Internet Explorer I do NOT have this problem. Please help me because I do not want to go back to IE.
Thanks

In case this is caused by Firefox 33 being incompatible with your graphics card/chipset driver software, could you test for a while in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions, hardware acceleration, and some other advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?
You can disable hardware acceleration for all modes in the Options dialog.
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
This takes effect the next time you exit Firefox and start it up again.

I want to unload Yahoo tool bar and go back to firefox tool bar but cannot pull up a "tool bar" it is missing as well as the back icon My book marks are apparently in the firefox format and I cannot access them

Tool bar, and everything else is gone, how do i get it back?

When i open illustrator the tool bar and everything else is gone, only the top menu is still there, i tried to activate tool bar under window menu, but that option is also gone.
I tried to use tab key, but it does not work either.
Anyone knows what to do?

Now what I told you is so, this is what is causing this and you will either make the effort to understand or you will not solve the problem.
You did try to make an alias and you goofed up, that is correct you made mistake, this is user error.
That is the first thing you have to accept if you cannot so be it, but I will never try to assist you again.
This is the problem I can easily reproduce as I know what you did.
Here take a look, does this look familiar.
Does the icon on the left look familiar?
That is the application outside of the Adobe Illustrator folder.
That's correct you moved it either on purpose or by mistake outside of the folder
and that is why the two of you do not have menu items and tools.
Now the way to fix this is the way I wrote before and this is user error.
And I have met other users on the forum who could not admit they made a mistake before as well.
I am writing this actually for users who really want help and have no problems admitting the did something in error.
I have nothing else to say about this
