Can Firefox v4 be updated to allow opening recently closed tabs from the tab bar??

Opening recently closed tabs by right-clicking (the mouse) over the tab bar was available in Firefox up through the last released update to v3.6. I found it useful and easy to use. I understand that I can use 3 left-mouse clicks to open a recently closed tab from the history (click on upper-left Firefox button, navigate to/click on History, and then navigate to/click on Recently Closed Tabs), or press CTRL+SHIFT+T. Up until version 3.6, I could just simply right-click the tab bar to re-open a closed tab. Can right-clicking the tab bar be re-instituted in Firefox v4?

That tab context menu only shows if you right click a tab on the Tab bar. 
If you right click empty space then the toolbar context menu opens.

I can see firefox 3.6.16 in Applications on my Mac but from the top bar the dropdown Firefox menu says I have 3.6.10. What do I do to run and use 3.16.3?

If I can see 3 6 16 it means I assume I have downloaded it but the fact that I am not running it means what? That I havent installed it? How do i now install it? Must be simple.

You appear to have Firefox 3.6.10 installed and in use, so therefore presumably on your hdd.
Without upgrading to the newest major version firefox 4, the latest version available is Firefox 3.6.16 , with Firefox 3.6.17 being the next one; scheduled I believe, for 26th April. So to be up-to-date with Firefox 3.6 you should be trying to upgrade to 3.6.16, which I understand you have already downloaded.
First of all try an automatic upgrade by using:
* Help -> Check for upgrades
* as explained here : [[Updating Firefox]]
* if you have problems the link I provided earlier may help [[software update failed]]
If you are unable to get the upgrade to work you can always just do an install of Firefox 3.6.16. BUT please do NOT use the option that says something along the lines of remove settings, if you do you are likely to loose important stored information, including passwords and bookmarks.

For some reason, Firefox is not saving ANY of my history. The back button is working, but I cannot open recently closed tabs, save tabs for previous visits or even view past history - it's just not there. Why won't my computer save history?

I can navigate backward and forward within one tab, or within one browser session, but as soon as the tab or session closes it's like all record of it is wiped from my computer. I'm not sure if the problem is my computer or firefox, but there doesn't seem to be anything like this mentioned out there and I would really appreciate some help.

Your useragent says your are running Firefox 3.6.13 -> is that true.
If not, do the following and post back your new Firefox version:
* Type about:config in the URL bar and hit Enter
* If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.
* Filter = general.useragent.
* Right-click the preferences that are bold, one line at a time, and select Reset.
* Then restart Firefox

Open recently closed tab??? WHERE DID IT GO?

SERIOUSLY. This option MUST be brought back, as it was the 2nd most important reason for why I used Firefox! I don't want to reopen ALL the pages I just closed, I just want that ONE specific page I closed before a few others and don't remember how I got to it. Finding it through history can be messy but I guess that will do for now -_-; Bring this simple feature back!! Pleeeease?

Ok on the far right the last button, click on it. Next click '''Options''' and then click '''General ''' I put an image for you to see what to select.

Firefox 4 will not let me keep my bookmarks listed on the side bar. I can open them there but once I click somewhere else they go away.

Firefox 4 will not let me keep my bookmarks listed on the side bar. I can open them there but once I click somewhere else they go away. On previous Firefox versions I could display my bookmark folders down the left side of my screen and just leave them there, accessing saved bookmarks when I needed to. Now with FF4 I can open a vertical column of my bookmark folders by clicking on bookmarks in the navigation bar but this won't stay there; if I click elsewhere they disappear. I could put a bookmark toolbar on my screen but this takes up more vertical space. I have lots of horizontal space that's unused. How can I go back to the display of bookmarks in previous versions?

You can fix that by going to View -> Sidebar and click on Bookmarks.
Or you could simply use a shortcut
''control + B''

How can I REMOVE the Yahoo! tab from the menu bar? Each time I open Firefox, I get the gialogue box asking if I want to make yahoo the default and each time I respond no and check the do not ask this question again.

I am tempted to remove Ff4 and revert to 3.X if I cannot fix this problem. The question (statement) has all pertinent details already included

'''Hello peacefultrev,'''
I believe from your question you wish to remove the window title-bar, while keeping the menu bar available.
I have two solutions for you to try. One requires no plugin and the other requires the installation of a plugin.
'''No plugin option:'''
This option hides the the window title while also removing the menu bar. The menu bar can then be reactivated and viewed simply by pressing "Alt" which shows the menu bar until you click away from it. To do this:
# Right click on the tab bar and disable "Menu Bar".
# Whenever you which to use the menu bar, tap "Alt" on your keyboard.
# When you click away from the menu bar the windows title will disappear until you tap "Alt" again.
'''Plugin Option:'''
You can download this plugin called [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hide-caption-titlebar-plus-sma/ Hide Caption Titlebar Plus] which can be customized to suit your needs. I cannot provide support on this plugin as I have not used it myself.
I hope one of these solutions will suit your needs.

Can't open any apps downloaded from the internet after installing application loader update and messages beta

I've run into an unusual problem recently. I think it it related to two recent software installs.The problem only started after i installed the new application loader.
My issue : I'm unable to open application I downloaded from the web. I get the following error message below.
Question: Has anyone else run into this issue and do you have a solution?
Thanks for you help.
P.S I haven't tried rolling back the lastest softwarte installs yet. I'm hoping I can avoid that.

When I press cancel nothing happens. I can do nothing and it still won't load the program.

After resetting firefox, I can no longer search from the address bar

Like the title says I can't search from the address bar "awesome bar" anymore. I just get a 404 error when I try. Searching just lists tons of people getting the "just update keyword.url" answer that's no longer valid. And hasn't been for several years.
I got a browser hijack somewhere. Not sure where, and nothing was installed on my computer so I reset firefox and lost all my search engines. IE was fixed with an uninstall/reinstall. Chrome hates my face and no longer runs. (And google's help is... well if I wanted to be insulted...) I've reinstalled several times. No dice. I've now reset firefox three times. It's just not working. I've ran several virus scanners, ran several malware programs, and even asked my IT department. (They don't care cause IE works and their stupid "virus scan" was clean. I mean it took 30 seconds. What the hell did it actually scan?)
Surely there's a keyword or something that I'm missing that needs to be reset so I can get my address bar searching again.

Current Firefox versions use the default search engine that is set in the search bar as well for searching via the location bar and on the about:home page.
You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extension (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

I just installed Firefox 5. How can I remove the Bing search from the address bar? I don't want to see Bing at all.

I just installed Firefox 5. How can I remove the Bing search from the address bar. I don't want to see Bing at all. I tired the Firefox options, right-clicking on the search field and the toolbar selection drop-down but could not find a way to get rid of that unwanted search window.

*'''at the bottom of firefox''' there is a weird looking greenish circle with a lightning bolt in it*
1. click it and hover over to '''PREFERENCES'''.
2. click the second circle that say's '''BING.'''
3. '''Un-check''' both boxes.
4. you're done :)
Note: it's not going to show the google symbol encrypt when you open a new tab it's just going to automatically use google as a search engine.

Firefox 35 won't open previously closed tabs

Until this latest firefox version 35, I could right-click on a tab, select "Recently closed tabs", and then pick a site that I had closed out.
Now, all I see is a small square box in the upper right corner of that option. When I click on "Recently Closed Tabs", nothing happens.
What do I need to do to get "recently closed tabs" to work?
