How to make the bookmarks bar JUST text and without the "Bookmarks" drop down and make the other bar have text with pictures? How to download a previous version of firefox?

The option is to set text, text and pictures, or pictures but it affects both bars and how to get the old version back because I just wanted a stupid addon that I didn't even need and now is firefox just stuck this way. I know it's better to have the new version for security or whatever but the new features are bad for me personally I can't use this program how can I get the old version again please help. Or at least help me fix my bookmarks bar it was carefully made so I can do my work but now it has been destroyed and it can't get rid of the icons without getting rid of Home Refresh Stop icons and also the Bookmarks dropdown menu button can't be removed from the bookmarks bar?

So if the bookmarks toolbar is fixed up you don't need to go back to Firefox 4. That's easy.
This styling will change the bookmark folders to blue (most common) and the few bookmarks to red. Most would have short names 1-4 characters. Install the "'''Stylish'''" extension and then the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/User:Dmcritchie style(s)] suggested below.
* '''Stylish''' :: Add-ons for Firefox https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/
* '''Bookmarks Toolbar Fx4 Blue/Folders, Red/Bookmarks''' - Themes and Skins for Browser http://userstyles.org/styles/46947
'''Additional styling suggestions'''
* '''Scrollbar Menu''' - Themes and Skins for Browser - userstyles.org http://userstyles.org/styles/52
* '''Scrollbar Context Menu''' - Themes and Skins for Browser http://userstyles.org/styles/54
The drop-down at the end wouldn't be there as long as everything fits on the row.
:Once you start using styles you will really like them because you can control/modify/use them independently as building blocks as opposed to someone elses full theme design or extension.
I fail to see how the above is ''sketchy''
# Install the "'''Stylish'''" extension
# Install the suggested Style
The advantage of a style is that they are very small compared to extensions, and if you don't like they way it looks, you can modify it. Try to do that with an extension.
The suggested style shows folders in blue, and bookmarklets or bookmarks in red used as buttons.
The deiconizer extension looks rather hard to read, seems rather large for what it does, and it has space wasting drop downs which are meaningless, simply left click to show the folder.
''it can't get rid of the (bookmark/folder) icons without getting rid of Home Refresh Stop icons and also the Bookmarks dropdown menu button can't be removed from the bookmarks bar?''
The Home button would show as text ("Home") with the style change, as for Refresh ("F5") and Stop("Esc") the keyboard shortcuts work better for me anyway and have never included them on my toolbars. I keep the Home button to the left of the Location bar anyway so it shows an icon.
'''For those that really need an earlier version of Firefox''', find your system and the Firefox version you want in releases, download and start the install.
* ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/
When reinstalling Firefox from a download, Firefox must be down once the installation starts. When the installation finishes, don't let the install start firefox for you. Instead end the install and start Firefox in your normal manner, thus preventing creating a new profile which does not have your bookmarks cookies, etc (but your old profile would still be around and would).

Clean up window and make firefox show what it needs to

I a having a huge problem with firefox as well as most all other browsers I use a netbook computer nearly 100% of the time because of the portability, but I have found that netbooks screens typically are not as big as desk tops, now I don't mean physical size but content size, an example would be back when things were only text, (yeah I am that old) the screen size was 80 by 40 or 80 character's wide ad 40 lines long for a full screen, however i don't know how to make this example in graphics, where nearly everything now resides, but the netbooks seem to save space on their displays by removing the last two lines at the bottom of the screen so every thing seems to look right but where my problem, is many websites and several programs will pop up a window that tends to be locked into place and the "accept", "continue" and many other necessary buttons and such, are at the bottom to the popup and I cannot get to the buttons so I cannot use the program or website because when I try to move the popup or advance to the button the popup will move and show the buttons but when I release the window it will slide or pop back to the position where I can no longer see of get to the buttons
Is there something I can do with firefox to get access to these buttons when no matter what I try, the pup up bounces back to the unusable position before I can click the button(choices)
One last thing I have a question on. Lately I had the bookmarks left pane just display by its self as in the question at http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/847020 except unlike this person I actually had a [X] at the top but it would not allow me to close the pane (making my already smaller display more difficult to use) but thankfully I ran across this question and tried the answer of "{Ctrl + B} closes & opens the Bookmarks Sidebar" and thankfully it went away but where can i get all the hot key combinations that lets me do things without using the mouse? And how did this pane pop up on its own and why didn't the [X] at the pane top allow me to close it?
Thank you

I have this same problem, but I believe it is a major problem and not just an annoyance as in the original poster.
It seems my laptop displays the proper width but is lacking the last inch at the bottom of the screen, and the websites I visit a lot will have pop up windows that grey out the original screen and has a blue bar at the top of the pop up but if I try to grab the window and move it up so I can get to the necessary selections buttons at the bottom, then I release the window it either slides back to its original position or it pops back to its original position.
I believe this is a programming problem with the website but I find it hard to believe a web author would do such a stupid thing like this making the website totally useless for those people who use laptops, tablets, and mobile devices. where the screens do not display the normal size of a typical desktop monitor. Knowing that today, of those people who access the internet, 82% of them will access the internet from a laptop, notebook,, tablet, or other mobile devices. Any web designer who uses this lock in place pop up window should know they are losing 82% of the potential customers simply because they are not able to access the proper buttons at the bottom of the popup window.
I have been a computer expert nearly as long as the original poster (I missed the text only stage of computer displays) and I cannot figure out any way of getting around this stupid coding mistake in website design, so the website is useable. So if FoxFire could give me a way I can get past this coding mistake and let me gain access to the un-movable or re-display to a position popup, I guess I will be like the other 82% of surfers today, and simply go to a website that does not make using their site imposable because they are too stupid to know that today's web-surfing customers use other methods to view the internet and who leave their desktops at home.
I cannot believe web developers don't check their website coding on several devices before posting the site for internet usage, I know I check everything I write on all the devices I can before I will upload the site to the internet, oh well, my customers will get the surfers and they will simply get ignored because surfers cannot use their sites.

I keep getting 'Firefox not responding' messages. This puts me into 'refresh' mode in all Tabs. Help me fix this, please. It's constant, and makes Firefox almost unuseable.

No further details, except that it keeps going into 'refresh' mode every other minute---games, emails, etc. All tabs and bookmarks.

The default of the pref network.http.max-connections has been increased from 30 to 256 in Firefox 6+ versions.
Try to decrease the value of the pref network.http.max-connections from 256 to 30 as used in Firefox 3 versions.

Adding Covers and song info slow down

I just my new 120gb Ipod for christmas and I started to load album covers to it. It started out fine, the album cover would load/save in no time, but now it takes forever to save a cover to a song, any help on why?

Hi JGG,
Thank you for your reply. I forgot to mention that I house my iTunes library on an external drive. I understand that, of course, anything hosted off of my computer would be slower than if it was on my laptop, but this still seems much slower than it was on my older computers (where I also used an external to host the music). Also, I mentioned earlier that if I added music to iTunes that was in a random folder on the external, it would show up instantly on the playlist; but if I added music that was within my iTunes library-folder on the external, it would upload very slowly. Even after it's on the iTunes playlist and "organized" within the Library-folder with the correct titles/folder names, just editing a song (for example, to change the year) would take a long time as well.
Edit: And, I just realized, there is a big delay when I try to click on a song to play. The little spinning color wheel pops up for a few seconds every single time I click to play a new song out of my playlist. I'm sure that NEVER happened in the past on my old macbook when I also used an external drive.
Thanks for your help!

Save Bookmarks As 'Cache' and Make them Available Offline

Hello people!
This is what I need:
1) I have lots of bookmarks: more than 300 unique links.
2) The problem: quite often the links get broken (this is because the website they belong to change (either in content or in url structure). I don't like this: I need to check (to double-cross the information they contain) all these bookmarked pages I have, even months after saving them as bookmarks.
3) So I want this: I want to save these pages (as they appear at the time I save them as bookmarks) and to have the ability to view them (offline or online)
Note: the crucial part is I need to view these pages 'exactly' (or at least text) as they appear at the time I am saving them as bookmarks.
Note 2: Any idea on how to do this automatically (no page by page) would be GREAT!
System: Windows 7 Home Premium, Firefox: Latest
Thanx so much!!! (sorry for being a noob) :)

You're welcome.
There's no way to change the default saved file and folder names in ScrapBook that I know of. You can check the documentation to see if I'm mistaken.
* http://amb.vis.ne.jp/mozilla/scrapbook/
The point of ScrapBook is to allow you to organize saved web pages into a collection, and to manage this collection within Firefox. The file and folder names may not be descriptive in Windows Explorer. 
This doesn't matter when viewing items in the ScrapBook manager, which lists the page title and URL it was saved from. Either click '''ScrapBook''' on the menu bar (hold down the '''Alt''' key and press '''C'''), or use the ScrapBook sidebar (hold down the '''Alt''' key and press '''K'''). To see what else ScrapBook and bookmark management have in common, see the help page:
* http://amb.vis.ne.jp/mozilla/scrapbook/feature2.php?lang=en#Organize
If you want pages to be saved as soon as you open them, try the following add-on from a different author. It hasn't been updated in a couple of years, so I don't know if it works properly anymore (ScrapBook Autosave from the author of ScrapBook is even older and incompatible with the latest version of Firefox).

Added memory and iMac got slower!!

Ok guys, along with the external HD (see other post) I bought a 512MB memory card for my iMac G4 800. It's a PC100 SODIMM card and the system profile recognizes it just fine.
Now, when I opened Photoshop, I noticed that regular tasks are now taking longer! Just to activate a layer, for example, you can see it struggling to draw the **** thing! I didn't noticed it before... Could it be the memory? Maybe I should have bought the PC133? My bus speed is 100MHz, that's why I bought the PC100.
Well, let me know your thoughts.
Cheers
JS

The iMac G4 800MHz needs PC133 RAM. PC100 is too slow for the memory bus. This article (link) explains.

I get an error box titled {JavaScript Application} a yellow triangle containing an ! followed by "uninstal set" and an OK box. This occures constantly and makes Firefox USELESS I have gotten this error aprox 15 times since begining this statement!!!!

See Above pretty self explanitory

This may be due to a problem with an add-on. For details of how to troubleshoot that see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

How do I make Firefox remember my e-mail address and password so I dont have to keep typing it in

Whenever I enter Firefox, I never go straight into my homepage, and if I want to get there I have to keep typing in my e-mail address and password. Firefox NEVER remembers them!!
How can I remedy this and make Firefox remember me?

Websites remembering you and automatically log you on is stored in a cookie.
* Create an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such a cookie, especially for secure websites and if cookies expire when Firefox is closed.

Hi. I have a problem with my iCloud. I forgot my password on my old one so I decided to delete it and make another one. I used my other Apple I.D. but it said that there's an error. What does it mean? Can I still create an account?

I need some help because I might update my iPad 2 soon.

Well, it seems waiting is not my strong suit..! I renamed a javascript file called recovery to sessionstore. This file was in the folder sessionstore-backups I had copied from mozilla 3 days ago, when my tabs were still in place. I replaced the sessionstore in mozilla's default folder with the renamed file and then started mozilla. And the tabs reappeared as they were 3 days ago!
So there goes the tab problem. But again when I started mozilla the window saying "a script has stopped responding" appeared, this time the script being: chrome//browser/contenttabbrowser.xml2542
If someone knows how to fix this and make firefox launch normally, please reply! Thank you

I can not delete my history and adding new bookmarks. Upgrading to later Firefox versions and/or re-installing didn't help. The address bar still shows the web addresses of old and whenever I make new bookmarks, it's always gone as if it was never made.

I can not delete my history and adding new bookmarks.
Upgrading to later Firefox versions and/or re-installing didn't rectify it either.
The address bar still shows the web addresses of old and whenever I make new bookmarks, it's always gone as if it was never made.
Also, I have noticed that every once in awhile you can not close tabs you've opened, either by pushing on the X button and/or clicking on the mouse to close it. Although closing the window and opening it again (without closing the Firefox application) seemed to rectify the problem in the short term, it's becoming quite annoying.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== the Firefox is being used

I think I have a solution.
First, download the add-on SQManager. This should be included with FireFox, it is really good.
Look for the file '''moz_hosts''' in the folder '''places.sqlite'''.
Don't delete the file, just delete the information in the file. My file has over 3600 websites, which go back years!! I did not know they were there, but I was frustrated about not being able to get rid of them. They popped up every time I used the address bar. Clearing my history would not get rid of them.
This is where they are stored!! I found that by deleting the pesky web site from '''moz_hosts''', it does not appear in my address bar anymore!!!
I think that if I just delete all the websites in moz_hosts....
Wa-la...History Gone!!!
As long as you don't delete the file, just empty it, FireFox won't know the difference. It will just keep adding websites to it until you empty it again.
Why running "clear recent history" doesn't do this, I don't know. You are doing manually what "clear recent history" is not doing.
Please tell me if you see any flaw in this.
''I think it's the solution we've all been looking for!''

All my bookmarks have disapered, tried to recover them as per the instructions on the help site, but no good. And now firefox wont let me make anymore bookmarks, says they're bookmarked but nothing in bookmark drop down menu, please help

All my bookmarks suddenly disapered, tried recovering them as per the instructions on the help page, but no matter what date i try it fails saying no backup! Now firefox says bookmark added when i try to add them but nothing appears in the bookmarks drop down mene, so i cant even add my old bookmarks manually, driving me mad please help.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

"Bookmarks and history system will not be functional" with corrupt files found by Avast and websites loading slow ONLY in Firefox

Firefox is the only browser that lets me connect with my microphone. I need to use this feature for an online class. Earlier this evening, the message prompting me to allow or deny the class website permission to use the microphone stopped appearing, and without it the recording won't pick up any sound and I can't record anything.
I tried exiting and restarting Firefox. I had some extensions in use at the time, in particular Session Manager. The allow/deny message still wouldn't appear, so I restarted my computer.
Now when I open Firefox I see the "The bookmarks and history system will not be functional" error message. In addition, the browser loads websites extremely slowly; it takes several minutes to load each page or for me to be able to click on anything (the URL bar, the menus, etc) My other browsers (Internet Explorer and Chrome) are running normally and load websites at a normal speed. I tried downloading the latest version of Firefox but it didn't fix anything. I also tried restarting the computer again but that didn't help either.
I ran my Avast software system check and it turned up that the following files under "C:\Users\(me)\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\Irozixj7.default" are "corrupted and unreadable":
-cookies.sqlite-shm
-cookies.sqlite-wal
-localstore.rdf
-places.sqlite-shm
There was one more problem on the scan, but it probably isn't relevant: for the file "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Definition Updates\{9A2C6FA7-E04E-4819-B86A-8363A9D1E42A}\mpengine.dll" it says "The system cannot find the path specified." When I attempted to follow the path indicated, one of the folders (I can't remember which) said something along the lines of "You can't access this folder, do you want to permanently allow access to this folder?" I said yes and was able to access the folder.
I have tried to add the Places Maintenance extension but the speed is too sluggish to download anything. Trying to access any of the menus results in the browser freezing for several minutes then unfreezing but with the menu still unopened. Therefore none of the solutions found here (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-bookmarks-and-history-will-not-be-functional?esab=a&as=aaq) seem to work.
My questions are as follows:
-Is it possible to figure out what caused the problem in the first place?
-Is there a way for me to fix it without losing my bookmarks and history?
-How can I avoid this happening again in the future?

First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [[Backing up your information]]. You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder. To quickly access this folder:
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Next, keep this folder open, exit Firefox, and try moving the "corrupted and unreadable" files to a different folder. With the exception of localstore.rdf, which stores window positions, toolbar customizations, and other nonessential data, the other files appear to be session-specific files that hopefully are not critical. If you restart Firefox, does it behave more normally?
If not, try creating a fresh Firefox profile. It will have the Flash plugin, which is the control sites usually use to connects your camera and/or microphone, and other plugins, but otherwise will be a new setup. This article has the steps for starting up in the Profile Manager: [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]].
If sites work normally in the new profile, you can import your bookmarks from your old profile, as well as copying over other files that don't seem to be causing the problem. Some trial and error might be required to determine that. This article has some tips: [[Recovering important data from an old profile]].
If the new profile is no better, you can exit Firefox and use the Profile Manager to switch back to your original profile.
Any improvement?

Firefox Health Report Vital Stats shows bookmarks 14, but Raw Data shows bookmarks 7917. How can I make Firefox Health Report Vital Stats show bookmarks 7917?

All data in the about:healthreport Firefox Health Report page is accurate except for the persistently inaccurate bookmarks count in the Vital Stats section of the page, which counts only 14 bookmarks and fails to count the other 7903 bookmarks.
The about:healthreport Firefox Health Report Vital Stats section shows bookmarks 14.
The about:healthreport Firefox Health Report Raw Data page shows bookmarks 7917.
The Firefox/Bookmarks/Show All Bookmarks/Library window shows 7910 items.
How can I make the about:healthreport Firefox Health Report Vital Stats section correctly and accurately show "bookmarks 7917" instead of incorrectly and erroneously showing "bookmarks 14"?
Platform: FF 36.0.4, Mac OS X 10.8.5
Platform: FF 31.5.2 ESR, Mac OS X 10.8.5
The following steps reveal the issue:
(1) In the Firefox Navigation Bar, type "about:healthreport" (without the quotation marks) to open the Firefox Health Report page.
(2) On the left side of the Firefox Health Report page, in the Vital Stats section, the following data appears: bookmarks 14. This is false data because the browser actually has 7917 bookmarks, not 14 bookmarks. All other data in the Firefox Health Report page is accurate.
(3) In the Firefox Health Report page, click the Raw Data link to reveal all Raw Data.
(4) Page Down approximately 10 pages to the following specific Raw Data:
"2015-03-22": {
"org.mozilla.addons.counts": {
"_v": 2,
"extension": 28,
"plugin": 6,

"uploadSuccess": 1,
"uploadTransportFailure": 1
"org.mozilla.places.places": {
"_v": 1,
"bookmarks": 7917,
"pages": 4293
5) The preceding Raw Data correctly indicates the following data: "bookmarks": 7917,
6) Open the Firefox/Bookmarks/Show All Bookmarks/Library window.
7) In the Library window sidebar, select the entry "All Bookmarks".
8) In the Library window Search Bookmarks search bar, type the colon punctuation mark " : " (without the quotation marks) to reveal the entire list of all items (bookmarks) in the Library window.
9) In the Library window, select any one of the items (bookmarks) in the list of items.
10) Press the <command> <A> keys to select and highlight automatically all items in the items (bookmarks) list, and Firefox automatically will begin the process of counting all items (bookmarks) in the items list.
11) After a counting interval of several seconds, the count of the total number of items (bookmarks) that are present in the items list appears near the bottom-center of the Library window: 7910 items.
12) I installed the "Places Maintenance" add-on, selected the "All" preference, and executed the add-on, but it did not correct the issue.
13) The about:healthreport Firefox Health Report Vital Stats section counts only 14 bookmarks and fails to count the remaining 7903 bookmarks.
Note --
On the support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions site, after selecting ASK A QUESTION and writing this question, I attempted to upload image files with the question, but I am unable to upload a JPG (97 KB) image file or a PNG (307 KB) image file because the "Add Images Browse" function appears to be broken.
Each time I click the "Add images: Browse" button, select one of the image files, and click "Open" to upload the image file, a spinning gear appears in a square beneath "Uploaded images:", and the spinning gear continues to spin without stopping. The image file does not upload.
While the gear is spinning, the message "Uploading <filename>.jpg" or "Uploading <filename>.png" remains constantly visible beneath the square that contains the spinning gear.
I think the gear would have continued to spin for eternity if I had not reloaded the page after the gear had been spinning for a full 7 minutes.
The image files would not upload.

It could be the work of one of your add-ons.
Type '''about:addons'''<enter> in the address bar to open your Add-ons Manager.
Hot key; '''<Control>''(Mac:<Command>)''<Shift> A)'''
In the Add-ons Manager, on the left, select '''Extensions.'''
Disable a few add-ons, then '''Restart Firefox.'''
Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause
Firefox issues. '''Disable All of them.'''
If the problem continues, disable some more (restarting FF). Continue until
the problem is gone. After, you know what group is causing the issue.
Re-enable the last group '''ONE AT A TIME''' (restarting FF) until the problem returns.
Once you think you found the problem, disable that and re-enable all the
others, then restart again. Let us know who the suspect is detective.
