Bookmarks do not load in tool bar and all their locations have changes to a range of bbc news pages

my bookmarks are all messed up -
1. They don't load in the sidebar or library unless I type something in the search box
2. They're all located on bbc news pages or facebook, both of which I don't visit?!!
Tried re-installing firefox but it didn't help the problem.
I think the problem has been caused by the Perfect Optimizer software I've used to clean up my laptop; pretty crap really, haven't noticed any advantages, only further problems!
Is it possible that the software has made changes to the registry and caused firefox to go a bit nutty?
Thanks in advance for anyone who can help me out.

    IF your imessage is saying waiting for activation then do this:
    backup your phone to itunes or icloud.
    then on your phone go to settings - general - reset - erase all contents and settings - this will wipe your phone clean.
    once the process is done, you can restore from the backup you made, then you should be able to activate your imessage.

  • Downloaded iobit tool Bar and it locks up firfox can not do anything

    I down loaded iobit tool bar and it made it through. but now whne I open Firefox, everything stops. I then uninstalled firefox, rebooted and the same thing happens. Also had to use a revo to uninstall firefox. At this point I can not use Mozilla. My only option is to use Internet explorer

    Yeah I'm seeing this as well. A force quit and relaunch seems to solve the problem for a while.
    IMHO the app has just gone downhill in the last few years. Useful tools like browser history from the back button are hidden / rendered useless (click and hold doesn't work so well from a track pad), and it's performance just isn't what it used to be.

  • Safari browser version you are running does not support community tool bar. what's that mean and where is it coming from or how do I get rid of it ?

    I keep getting the message "Safari browser version you are useing does not support community tool bar." Where is this coming from and how do I get rid of it ?

    That toolbar/ct plugin causes problems for all who install it!
    Close Safari, then locate and delete the following files and it should be gone:
    /Library/Application Support/Conduit
    /Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
    /Library/Receipts/ctloader.pkg
    /Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
    /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
    /Users/<User name>/Library/Application Support/Conduit
    where / is the root library on your Hard Disk.
    If you are running Snow Leopard you should also look here:
    Library/launchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
    Library/Application support/conduit plugins
    Note: Safari does not support any third-party toolbars except those supplied as an extension to Safari via the Extension Gallery.

  • Rightclick a bookmark on the Bookmarks Tool Bar and click Properties

    If I right click a bookmark on the Bookmarks Tool Bar and click properties Firefox freezes and I don't get the properties. Is this a known issue?

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See:
    * [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting&#58; Make a new profile]]
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

  • 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

    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.

    In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

  • Safari version does not support community tool bar

    Each time I open Safari 5.1.7 I get message "your browser version does not support community tool bar" does this mean I need to update safari?

    That toolbar/ct plugin seems to cause problems for all who install it!
    If you are running Tiger or Leopard:
    Close Safari, then locate and delete the following files and it should be gone:
    /Library/Application Support/Conduit
    /Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
    /Library/Receipts/ctloader.pkg
    /Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
    /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
    /Users/<User name>/Library/Application Support/Conduit
    where / is the root library on your Hard Disk.
    If you are running Snow Leopard you should also look here:
    Library/launchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
    Library/Application support/conduit plugins
    Also, as mentioned by Gilli2000:
    Library/Receipts - If you read it, it has information in it at the bottom referring extensively to "CT" and "community toolbar".
    Maybe it is harmless, but trash those items anyway!
    If you are running Lion:
    From the Finder Menu bar, select Go ▹ Go to Folder, and in the box that opens write:
    ~/Library/Application Support/Conduit
    Delete the second item if it is there.
    Now select Go to Folder again and enter  /Library
    From the folder that opens, delete the following items if they are there (you may need your login password):
    Application Support/Conduit
    InputManagers/CTLoader
    LaunchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
    ScriptingAdditions/ct_scripting.osax
    then close the folder. Now select Go to Folder again and write: /Applications/Toolbars
    Delete that item and close the Finder windows you opened. Log out then log back in, and you should be rid of it.
    Note: Safari does not support any third-party toolbars except those supplied as an extension to Safari via the Extension Gallery.

  • 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. <br />
    The F10 can also be used on most PC's to temporarily reveal the Menu bar.

  • 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
