All keyboard shortcuts are disabled, and I can't enable them - resetting firefox or safe mode not helping

For example, Ctrl-T is grayed out / disabled so I can't open a new tab using the keyboard.
Ditto for ALL other keyboard shortcuts - they're all disabled / grayed out.
PS - I've used Firefox for years, this happened about a month or so ago, and it's been that way ever since, even after rebooting computer.

'''Try 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).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>

'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

  • Hello. My mac can't connect to my time capsule. There is no response and I can't put it back to the originals definitions because all my files are there and I can´t loose them. (sorry about my bad english, but I really need help!)

    Your files are unaffected by a reset.. no reset via the reset button on the TC harms, deletes or does anything to your files.
    The Factory Reset universal
    Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on..  all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. The time is not important.. it is the front LED rapid flashing that indicates you are in factory mode.
    Release reset.
    If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have released reset at some point and try again.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
    Here is how to do a fully manual setup for TC which is sometimes necessary with Mavericks in particular.

  • After every reboot, all my addons are disabled, I have to manually enable them

    The first session I start after a reboot, none of my addons are enabled. After enabling and restarting, they remain enabled for all future sessions until a reboot.
    I'm using Windows 7 64 bit.

    Uninstalled ZoneAlarm Pro. No change. Uninstall BitDefender. Works perfectly.

  • Reset my Ipod and all my songs are gone - and I can't get them off itunes!!

    I recently reset my ipod because it was frozen. Now I find that most of my music - the stuff I purchased from itunes is no longer on it. Even though my laptop is authorized - and the only computer I have that's authorized - it won't let me update my ipod with all my purchased music. Please help I am freaking out because all this music is for my reception at my wedding!!

    OK, you need the iPod 101 course.
    But....if you connect your iPod to your laptop, things should be back to normal.
    If you want to hook your iPod up to more than one PC you have to set it for manual update....which is not the default. The default is automatic update.

    If you were not syncing and backing up your phone to either iTunes or iCloud, then they are gone. There is no "undo".

  • After updating to firefox 5 all my bookmarks are lost, and I can not find an old places.sqlite file. What happened to my bookmarks?

    I updated from Firefox 3 to Firefox 5 (Windows XP), and all my bookmarks are lost. Maybe I should have thought of making a backup but I did not think of this and previously after an update I could find them again. Now I can not find my bookmarks anywhere, all files in my profile have a date and time from the new installation. Is there any chance of finding my bookmarks somewhere else on my computer? If so, where are they and how can I restore them?

    Thanks for the answer. I read the article but it seems that the solution to my problem is not in there. Apart from the lost bookmarks Firefox is working fine, also I can make new bookmarks and delete them without problems. When I restart Firefox I don't loose them.
    Apparently after installing Firefox 5 everything of Firefox 3 was deleted including my profile. The only bookmark .json file I have is from the new installation, which means it does not contain any of my old bookmarks. It now has today's date and time.
    In my profile I have three 'places' files, now all with today's date and time:
    - places.sqlite (10240 kb)
    - places.sqlite-shm (32 kb)
    - places.sqlite-wal (865 kb)
    But even though places.sqlite is large, it apparently does not contain my old information. Or could it? Then how to get to it?

  • I have random excel files on my desktop that cannot be deleted. What are these and how can I trash them?

    I have random excel files on my desktop that cannot be deleted. What are these and how can I trash them?

    They appear as mounted DMG files.If you right click on them mdo they have an Eject entry?
    Have you set the OS to Show All Files with a terminal command? If so take that off for now.
    Look in your Home folder (Users/UserName) and then the Desktop subfolder under it. Do you see all these files/folders/drives?

    You have a Puerto Rico address on your account ? From a quick search I've found one site from somebody in Puerto Rico that includes a screenshot for an app receipt showing tax of 7 cents added to a 99 cent purchase. Are you able to view the purchase history on the account that you've been using, and see what prices show on them (e.g. if the store's listed price or price plus tax) : Store > View Account menu option on a computer's iTunes, then 'see all' link next to the Purchase History section.

  • My Canvas and Timeline are gone and I can't get them back

    Hey everyone.
    I've been using a new HD camera and i have had to change a billion settings on FCP. Now that I am no longer using HD it was time to go back to the way they were, but I must have done something wrong. My canvas and timeline are gone and I can't get them back. I tried going to window and just pulling them up but I can't click on the canvas and timeline buttons...
    Please help!!! I am fairly new at final cut pro and I need help. I have a film festival deadline approaching and only hope that some kind person out there can help!!

    Trash your FCP preferences. This will reset FCP to it's defaults.
    Close Final Cut Pro and open a Finder window.
    Click on your user name in the side bar.
    Open the following sub folders Library, Preferences, Final Cut Pro User Data.
    Place the following files in the Trash:
    Final Cut Pro 6.0 Prefs, Final Cut Pro Obj Cache, Final Cut Pro Prof Cache.
    Empty the Trash.
    Open Final Cut Pro. You will be asked to choose your working format (Easy Setup) and designate your scatch disks.

  • I just bought a movie and a season of childrens cartoons they are now gone off my ipad. Where are they and how can I get them back?

    I just bought a movie and a season of childrens cartoons they are now gone off my ipad. Where are they and how can I get them back?

    Did you download them direct to your IPad or to your computer. If so unless you have synced your iPad with your computer since you downloaded they are still on your Ipad unless you deleted them or if they were rentals the time ran out.
    To check on your iPad launch the iPod APP on your Ipad  if a movie listing does not show  then click on the iPad button under your library list column and it should then show your movies etc
    Or launch the Video App and look for them there
    if you have downloaded them on your computer they will show up in iTunes the cartoons i suspect will show under TV and the Movie under Movies.
    A rented item expires 30 days after you rent it or 24 hours after you begin playing it, whichever comes first. Expired rentals are deleted automatically. After you transfer a rental to your iPad etc, it is removed from your iTunes library.
    Outright puchases are obviously yours to keep.
    Hope this helps

    Hi, just bought my daughter an Iphone 4s and I can't get it to let her on youtube, Facebook etc., keeps saying no internet connection. My husband and I have 3G smartphones and we can get on them on ours, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Also, my other daughter has the same phone and has no trouble getting on these sites either.

  • How can/do I compeletely uninstall/delete unwanted "Web Developer Extension" that was automatically installed on my computer without permission when I reset Firefox in safe mode?

    Reset Firefox in safe mode. Clicked 'Help', then "Restart with Add-ons disabled"
    After restarting, Checked "Reset all preferences to Firefox default"
    When done, found three new Tabs, one asking if I wanted to continue previous session, a second from Firefox, saying "Welcome to Firefox"
    And a third with the heading, "Web Developer Installed"
    Clicking on Tab took me to: http://chrispederick.com/work/web-developer/installed/11/ saying "The Web Developer Extension has been successfully installed"
    The new website, which also asks for donations, doesn't look related to Firefox. Regardless, NO ONE ASKED MY PERMISSION to install
    AM CONCERNED ABOUT UNWANTED EXTENSION AND WHAT ELSE IT MAY DO WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE OR CONSENT.
    I DO NOT WANT Chris Pendrick's "extension" on my computer, but don't know how to completely delete/uninstall.
    Can anyone help?

  • New update all my tool bar options are gone and I can't get them back.

    I had norton security on my tool bar as well as a few other items, now they are not there and I can't find them. All of my passwords are in my norton acct and I can't even find them there. Help

    Hi,
    Right-click on the '''+''' after the last tab and check (tick) the needed toolbars. Alternatively '''View''' ('''Alt''' + '''V''') > '''Toolbars'''.
    You may also have to update Norton. Please see [http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/Firefox-9-Support-for-Norton-Toolbar/td-p/615563 this.]
    To check if the other extensions and add-ons have been updated to work with the latest Firefox: '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons''', click '''Extensions''' on the left, right-click on an extension and '''Find Updates'''. Disabled extensions are listed towards the bottom, from where you can '''Enable'''.
