"Always Show the Tab Bar" Not Functioning Properly

Using Firefox 13 with Windows XP Professional. Even though my tab options are set to "always show tab bar" my tab bar isn't showing when there is just the single page. If I add more than one tab to the window they will show up but the first one will not and the only way to see its page content is to remove the additional tabs. If I have five tabs open at one time for example only four will be visible.

Try:

*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Toolbar+keeps+resetting
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Why is it that when I set the preference to always show the tab bar, it refuses to stay checked after I quit Firefox and restart it?

Using Mac OSX10.6.7 and FF 4.0.1, I'm having a problem with the preference to always show the tab bar. I want it to always show. I check this in the Preferences under the "tab" window, and everything is fine until I quit FF and when I restart FF the tab bar is gone again. I go into preferences, and that option is now unchecked. How can I fix this so that my preference is saved?

That hasn't helped the last ten times I tried. I posted before. I deleted the preferences file, I tried changing the preferences file, I went into about:config and changed the autoHide preference there. No dice. Firefox is not saving my preference for that one thing.

Hi, I just updated to ff6, when i open a new browser the tab bar is missing....however when i hit Ctrl+T i get the tab bar back with the original tab and the new tab. I have box checked in options "always show the tab bar". Any help greatly appreciated

Using Windows XP and Firefox 6....tab bar has gone missing but returns when i open a second tab. I used to be able to open a browser which opened my bookmarked homepage and I cold then click the + to the right of this tab and open a new tab.

hello, please install the search reset addon - it will revert the most common customizations those adware programs do in firefox back to the default: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/

The u, j, m and 7 keys on the keyboard are not functioning properly on my macbook air. Please Help!

The u, j, m and 7 keys on the keyboard are not functioning properly on my macbook air. In its place are a random assortment of keys (Ex - u = "eqrw" or "IOUY"). This randomly happened when logging back in after sleep mode. No liquid damage at all. Please help!

OK, I fixed the problem by doing a SMC (System Management Controller) reset as follows:
1. Powered off my MacBook and removed everything connected except for the power chord.
2. When powered off, I held "Shift" + "ctrl" + "Option" + "Power button" for 5 seconds or so until the little light on the front started to blink rapidly.
3. Powered up my Mac, which took a little longer than usual to start and tested the "missing" keys which now works perfectly again.
Just added another couple of years usage with my aging mac :-)

This is a copy of ONEof the keys in the registry I changed as told by Apple support today. I also have changed others as instructed by GEAR software support to manually delete GEAR drivers (that I had installed but couldn't delete some of the others they mentioned from Windows system 32. Then some bright spark at work told me I need the Gear drivers so I downloaded the software and installed again.
Sorry, just this minute went to insert image and it is giving me a message saying this sort of content is not allowed?.
The most recent key I altered is in: HKey _local _machine. System\class - 4D36E965-E325-11CEBFC1-08002BE10318. Upper Filter data: Upper filter NTIDrvr SiRem GEARAspiWDN.

One or more of cells in the battery are not functioning properly?

one or more of cells in the battery are not functioning properly
I assume this means I need a new battery? This was the message I got when I did the battery check.
The battery will not charge. Laptop just runs on AC power and battery is in but will not charge. What happens that causes cells in battery to not work? I did leave it off a few months. Would take make the battery go bad?
Thanks for any info you can give me. Have a HP G60-230US Notebook PC

X120E Multi Core Warning -The hardware is not functioning properly. What now?

Ran the Thinkpad ThinkVantage Test and received a Warning on the CPU Multi-core test.
The hardware is not functioning properly. To correct the problem:
Turn off the system.
Detach the power cord and wait for one minute.
Re-attach the power cord and re-boot the system.
Re-run the test.
Performed the above, still receiving the warning.
What next?

Have you contacted Lenovo Support? The only thing I can think of is either a straight-up hardware defect or maybe cooling fan blockage of some sort. Could be the RAM, though it's unlikely. Still, if it consistently has this issue, and something like Prime95 errors out on one of the cores, you may need to RMA it.

How can I configure my Macbook Air to always show the menu bar when in full-screen? I hate, hate, hate it popping up and then going away all the time.

I cannot find a way to change this in System Preferences. When I have applications open full screen, my menu bar disappears. Then when I try to move between tabs, I find it is always popping up & then disappearing. I really just want to set up my computer so that the menu bar always displays in the foreground. I find this popping up & disappearing intrusive and annoying. How can I fix this? I hate, hate, hate this about my MAC...
I have searched the full User Guide, Quick Start Guide, etc. and cannot find a way to fix this.

Don't use the full screen arrow in the top right corner of the window. Instead, use the green + in the top left corner. That takes the window full screen just below the menu bar.

I encountered the problem this morning. When i boot on my laptop there was an error message showing that the fan of my laptop is not functioning well and therefore i should visit this site for support. Thank you.

Hello duckzilla2009, welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you have a message on your notebook about the fan not working correctly. I will try to help you with this.
If you could, please provide the Model and Product numbers for your notebook.
Here are a few documents that may be able to help you with resolve the error message related to your fan.
   System Fan (90b) error message on startup - if you're getting that specific message follow this document.
   Error: CPU Fan Failed - follow this one for any other fan error message or if the above didn't correct the issue.
   Reducing Heat Inside the PC to Prevent Overheating - I'm providing this document, as steps involved could help you with the fan. If the notebook is overheating it would be putting a lot of stress on the fan.
Start with that and let me know how things go.

Firefox Vertical Scroll Bar Not Functioning Properly

== Issue
==
Firefox is having problems with certain web sites
== Description
==
As I visited the referenced Web page, although the page displays normally, vertical scrolling is impaired. Clicking and dragging the vertical scroll "handle" DOES work. However, to scroll up or down by the height of the browser's display area, you'd click in the "blank space" immediately above or below the vertical scroll handle (comparable to using your keyboard's PageUp or PageDown buttons), and this is the scrolling method that does not work. Clicking the vertical scroll arrows does not work either.

This may or may not be related, but I was having a similar issue, and it was affecting the same page in Chrome as well!
Turns out my issue was that the page was calling home via AJAX and my bandwidth at the moment was impaired, as I was downloading a big file.
Once I stopped the download, everything went back to normal, with only a tiny hiccup on the page scrollbars once every some seconds, where they would get stuck for a few milliseconds.
This is probably caused by the page using synchronous AJAX calls, instead of asynchronous ones. Synchronous calls will block the browser until a response is received from the server. If bandwidth is compromised, this response will be delayed or even worse, not received at all, in which case the page will stop working (or at least this seems like what would happen, don't know if it is actually true).
Hope this helps.

I'd like to use Fox Tab exclusively and not have the tab bar at all. Is this possible?

This isn't so much a problem as a request for information. Like the topic says, I want Firefox to not show the tab bar at all, but still retain the tab function so that I can open tabs and view them with Fox Tab.

Fox Tab wasn't what I had the problem with, I was simply trying to provide background information that could possibly help someone answer me. fortunately, it worked. indirectly. edmeister, your tip led me to Fox Tab's options, where I found a check box next to "Hide tab bar."

Disable hide/show of tab bar

Most of the sample applications use a tab bar at the bottom to switch between features. This tab bar usually has a little blue button to hide and show the tab bar. Examples are the DeviceDemo and DvtGalery. For me, this feel not very iOS like and I don't want to show this button to hide/show the tab bar. For example: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B0EvDYuyTjZzdGh3YS1YaWZrdEE
Other sample apps, like LifeCycle do not show this button but I can't see what the difference is at design time to disable this feature. For example: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B0EvDYuyTjZzdWNXLXJ6SVRzaDg
Does anyone know how I can disable the feature of showing/hiding the tab bar?

Never mind. Already found it. It's in the adfmf-application.xml which can be found in the Application Resources > Descriptors > ADF META-INF. That has a checkbox to show the navigation bar toggle button, or in XML:
<adfmf:navigation>
<adfmf:navigationBar displayHideShowNavigationBarControl="false"/>
</adfmf:navigation>

The "New Tab" function does not work either from the tab bar, the File drop down menu or using CTRL+T

The new tab is visible on the the tab bar but clicking on it does not open a new tab.Neither can I open a new tab from the File drop down menu, nor the Ctrl+T method as indicated in the troubleshooting guide.

Un-install the '''''Ask Toolbar''''' which many users have reported causing that problem.

F.F will not set tabs in the tab bar, always one tab in the L/H corner. one moment it will then it wont. OS is Win 7 Ult

Have set the tabs under options clicking the first 3 items. I was getting the tab bar to work with these settings but suddenly now every new page is under one tab. FF seems to be very unstable under Win 7 Ult. Its OK under Win XP sp3 Home.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode
As a solution for your problem (now I understand it), you can:
- middle click links to open them in new tabs;
- right click links and select "Open Link in New Tab" to open them in new tabs;
- open a new tab prior to opening a new link or doing a search or typing something new in the location bar
- press ALT+ENTER instead of ENTER when you type something in the location bar or search bar to open the result in a new tab
- go into Tools > Options > Tabs to configure Firefox to open new links wherever you like.
Hopefully this is the answer you're looking for.

Why are my firefox icons and tabs not functioning properly?

My firefox is not functioning properly since Monday. I have tried uninstalling and installing firefox but the problem is still there when I open it. Please help.

Unfortunately, the most likely explanation is an incompatibility with your graphics card/chipset driver software. One of the effects of Safe Mode is to disable Firefox from using hardware acceleration. To turn that feature off in normal mode as well:
"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. Any difference?
