Bookmarks in Bookmarks Bar Disappeared Since Firefox Update
Recently updated to Firefox 2.0.0.13 and since then, an odd thing happens. My initial window is okay, but if I open a new window - or a new tab - my bookmarks don't show up in my bookmarks bar.
If I look under "View" I can see that "Bookmarks Toolbar" is checked. I can deselect it and the bar itself goes away. When I select it again, the bar appears but there are no bookmarks on it!
I often also have trouble with navigation with these "phantom" type windows.
Any ideas?
Have you done these two steps lately?

Since Firefox updated itself to 3.6.16 earlier today, when I search for anything in my Google search box on the browser, it always used to show me thumbnails when the Google page came up. Now there are no thumbnails appearing, except if I go on the Google main page and search from there, the thumbnails still appear. Whe it updated, the browser automatically searched for incompatability problems with my add-ons but nothing appeared to say Searchpreview was incompatible.
You can modify the pref <b>keyword.URL</b> on the <b>about:config</b> page to use Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" or Google's "Browse By Name".

Since firefox updated my browser is really big, even my desktop, I can't get everything to fit on my monitor and I don't know how to get the font/size smaller. I tried going to the desktop and hitting smaller font but it says that it is at "normal?.
Double tap your screen with three fingers, then zoom out. Go to Settings/General /Accessability and disable the zoom feature.

Bookmark this page has disappeared with the update
i have installed the firefox update......... when i try to bookmark a page.............. the window only
shows me how to delete this bookmark.............. what can i do to revive "bookmark this page"??In current Firefox releases the "Bookmark This Page" menu entry in the Bookmarks menu changes to "Edit This Bookmark" once you have bookmarked the page and the star on the Navigation Toolbar is highlighted blue.
So do not get confused by the missing "Bookmark This Page" in the Bookmarks menu and seeing "Edit This Bookmark" instead if you try to bookmarks a page that is already bookmarked.
You can make a extra copy of a bookmark by dragging the link to a folder in the bookmarks sidebar (View Bookmarks Sidebar) or by doing a copy and paste in the Bookmarks Manager (Library). -
This feature that helps to block ad and social network tracking appeared on the last update, it had a green drop down where I could then get a screen showing the number of tracking that are blocked, not blocked and could block the ones that weren't. Today when Firefox updated it disappeared. I do have the TrackerBlock addon installed, but I found the drop down helpful and would like to get it back.
Sometimes an icon will get removed from the toolbar by another extension. Could you check the Customize dialog to see whether the missing icon is in there? This article has the steps: [[Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars]].

Look I know I will most likely need to also contact InstantFox 2.8.9's support pages but to my mind it makes more sense to ask for help here! Also I know my browser is probably a bit too 'top heavy' with my choices of extensions for the smooth working of my current 'ancient' laptop... But they suit me as is and, for the moment, I can I live with the eccentricities most likely caused by this present configuration...!
Since this update wherein the Search functions of Firefox have been tweaked InstantFox 2.8.9 has lost parts of its functions:-
1) The toolbar button which opens the dropdown box containing my preferred list of search engines has disappeared from the toolbar and the about:customizing Firefox page. It is a real hassle to have to access it via the Add-ons Manager since I cannot always remember all of my shortcuts for quicksearches.
2) Also the quick access to the above has been removed from the Tools menu.
3) The list of search engines has disappeared from the context menu which was very useful for a quick specific search from any highlighted text.
4) Firefox's own Search Manager does not contain this list but they do seem to be seeping in. But... for instance I do not need Amazon.com; I need Amazon.co.uk
As far as I can ascertain my shortcuts for quicksearches are all still functioning. By the way the functionality of InstantFox 2.8.9, when unencumbered by contradicting tweaks, is definitely much more to my liking!
Maybe your developers could liaise with InstantFox 2.8.9's developers... to tweak search operations to perfection! Sorry guys but am not savvy enough to be a developer or whatever [I surf (et al) holding on for dear life by 'the seat of my pants'!] so am unsure if I am making sense! Therefore also unsure if my assumptions are correct. Please politely inform what is really happening here. Have been rather reticent to contact you since, once before, was very rudely reprimanded when I tried to ask a question on another Mozilla forum...
So is it possible to get InstantFox 2.8.9 working at optimum again or can I suppress Firefox's new Search capabilities so that it will work unhindered...?
Many thanks to you all,
Regards from,
Ian.
P.S.: Apologies if this reads too sarcastic for you. Please forgive me have, on and off, spent most of today frustratedly trying to work this out whilst, amongst other things, the communal Central Heating here has failed. On a Sunday, no less, when I cannot get in contact with the Housing Association... and so on... PeaceHi Philip,
Many thanks for the heads up re the lack of a grace period for add-on developers this time around. Recent Firefox updates have all seemed to eradicate more and more of the eccentricities that my browser configuration experiences... So this update was a surprise which caused me much...
Forgive my tardiness in replying but even though your suggestion was most informative and useful it did not rectify the problem. So, as you suggested, have waited till today when InstantFox sent out their update. Thankfully now all is working as 'on the box'!
Just one question:... I assume that I should leave Firefox's own search interface 'suppressed'? Don't want to go messing with about:config unless I have to!
Again Many Thanks and Regards from,
Ian.
P.S.: Where can I learn about the meaning of about:config items and other 'languages' working in the background? -

When I try to view any article with a slideshow, the next button on the slideshow doesn't work. It doesn't matter which website, it doesn't happen in other browsers (ie Chrome), and it didn't happen prior to the recent Firefox update. I've cleared cache, checked all of the settings, and nothing's fixing this. How do I fix it?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> 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.

I have Windows XP. In January 2014, Firefox updated to version 26. Now, every time I try to access a webisete, the wheel turns verly slowly or hesitates and it takes a long time for websites to open. I have no problems watching streaming video. I have had to resort to using Internet Explorer because of this Firefox problem. I have noticed others have been experiencing similar issues with Firefox V26. Will there be a fix for this problem soon?

When I type an address into the url field the browser will not load the page...it just sits there as though waiting for me to press enter. Also it won't respond to the recently used addresses that show in the dropdown menu. It will also not respond when I try to use the search engine field (google). This started yesterday after Firefox automatically updated to version 3.5.9. I don't get an error message, just no response at all.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
This can also be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Since firefox updated to FF9, it just hangs after started
ealier today, FF updated on its own from FF8 which i had installed, no FF9. ever since it did that, i can no longer access any website. whenever i enter the browser. any website that i try to surf to, just gets stuck on the loading sign, and does nothing. the system resources that FF takes spike to the roof, and until i kill the app, i cannot do anything. i tried re-installing.. that didnt help.
help me please!!!This is a [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1010311 known compatibility issue] of the site and Firefox. For the meantime, you can instead install [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/organizations/ Firefox ESR] to continue using the storage service.

Why can't I access the Internet since Firefox updated?
When I went to open Firefox on may laptop I got a box that said - Firefox will start in a minute after it finishes updating (not verbatim). After it opened I can't access the Internet through it or use any of my quick links. It just keeps refreshing to the Firefox homepage.
Okay, lets start over. What is the system you are running?
Win, Mac, Linux . . . . . . Version
What Firefox?
Are other programs accessing the web?
Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set
to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your
updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow
Firefox to connect to the Internet again;
* Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version).
* Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs. For detailed instructions, see
