Click twice on the menu bar to access dropdown menus?
I recently upgraded to CS5 and have noticed that in order to access the menu items I have to click twice on "File", "Edit", etc to see the drop-down menus.Once I am in the menu bar area I have to continue to click once on each menu heading to see the drop down. (so if I am looking at the "File" menu and want to change to "Type" I have to click on Type to see the menu options.
If I leave the menu dropdown and go back to the artboard the menubar stays selected. I have to hit Escape twice to begin to use keyboard shortcuts.
This happens in Indesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop. I am on a Windows PC running XP. I'll be upgraded to Windows 7 and a PC with a 64 bit processor in April. I wondered if maybe my mouse was the problem - I am waiting for IT to bring me another one to test my theory on. I am not having problems in any other software though so it's probably a long shot.
I can't change my workspace in InDesign and Illustrator either. When I click on "Essentials" the button looks pushed in but no drop down menu appears. Photoshop doesn't have drop down workspace selection so it isn't a problem there.
This is one of those things that is annoying but not earth-shattering. It interferes with my muscle memory and slows me down because it forces me to use my mouse more than I want to. I thought it was a new thing in CS5 until I realized it isn't normal. I searched the forums for a while and haven't found anyone else with a similar problem.
Anyway, if anyone can help I would really appreciate it!
Thanks,
Sheryl

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.

I repeat my question: "How do I put 'The Menu Bar' back where it was before. What I mean by The Menu Bar is: File,Edit, Format, View, Help it is on top where the Browser arrow is!!. I don't know how to put this Menu Bar where is belongs...
Right click up where the menu bar should be, it will have a list of options. You will see menu bar as the top option. Just click it and it will check it off and reappear.

Why can't the Menu Bar and the Navigation Tool, share the same line?
With the Menu Bar and the Navigation Tool, now on separate lines, there's all this wasted space right above the address bar. What mental giant thought this up?
You can move the items on the Navigation Toolbar to the Menu bar if you want to have them on that bar.

My safari menu bar is missing. The menu bar for desktop, HD, and apps appears, but when I click on Safari, it disappears, so I can no longer see my buttons for History, etc. I think my husband (pc user) clicked it away when borrowing my computer. Any ideas how to retrieve it? Thanks.
I too was having the same problem However, I could access both the menu bar and the dock by hovering my mouse over them so it wasn't a huge problem but I prefered having it there anyway. I was not in full screen mode and I could still go into full screen mode if I wanted to. I found the easiest solution was to just quit safai and restart it, but it might not work for you considering you couldn't access you menu bar either way.
I found this article that allows you to hide/show the menu bar and the dock through TextEdit (didn't work for me) http://www.mactricksandtips.com/2009/07/hide-the-menubar-or-dock-in-specific-app s.html It is pretty old so it might not work for lion and a bit risky if you don't know what you're doing so I wouldn't really recommend doing it this way.
And KSheppard, I know it's not really any of my buisness, but the way to get answers to a question isn't by insulting others and being quick-tempered. Even if you feel like you were insulted first, don't try snapping at people who aren't obligated to help you. Honestly, it just makes everything easier if everybody is cooperative and polite. -
I was trying to hide just my clock for the history and the menu bar(file,edit all that), I dont know what i clicked but it got rid of everything except for the bookmark tabs. I know if you right click on the menu bar you can fix it, but since there is no menu bar anymore, this isnt working. i looked up how to do it in the forum found out you can press alt and do it that way, maybe i didnt do right, but that didnt work either.please help me!

Deleting the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/localstore.rdf localstore.rdf] will reset the customizations of the toolbars to the defaults.

I hope someone can help. I'm using Firefox 31.0.1
The menu bar at the top of the screen is a white transparent color and everything is working fine but after 50 or 60 seconds it changes to completely transparent, I can still read the words file, edit etc. This is where the scroll wheel on the mouse and anything I am typing stops working. Now all I have to do is click somewhere in the window and it works again but only for 50-60 seconds. I have had to click the screen twice since I started typing this because when I look at the screen, everything I have typed is not there because the menu bar went transparent again while I was typing. Its driving me nuts.
I don't remember this being a problem before today, if it was I would surely have noticed. Have I pressed something or clicked on something by accident??
I'm considering throwing the lot out the window, its really annoying, please help lads and ladies.Hello,
According to your user agent, you are on Firefox 32. If you planned to use Firefox 31 ESR, you can grab a copy here:
* https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/
Out of curiosity, when it turns transparent, is there a "(Not Responding)" appended to the end of the window title? If you don't have the Window title being shown, it might show up if you have window titles shown on your taskbar, or in the task manager (right click on your taskbar and select "Start Task Manager"). If you do see a Not Responding, it could be a slow script on one of the pages you are viewing.
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem. -
Just dl FF 6.x. I finally found the Bookmarks drop down by adding the Menu bar. Now, I want to click on "Bookmarks" and then simply scroll down my list of bookmarks in the dropdown. As it stands now, I have to click on "Show All Bookmarks" or "Unsorted Bookmarks" just to be able to get to my bookmarks. A huge wate of time and effort. Any way to do this like the "old way". Or I as I say it, the way that works?
The Bookmarks sidebar is the same organization PLUS providing the same ability to search on strings within titles and url as you have on the Location Bar drop-down (AwesomeBar features).
To see the same on the sidebar
* Bookmarks Toolbar - - don't expand
* Bookmarks Menu -- Expand just one level, collapse sub-levels below that -- looks same
* Unsorted Bookmarks -- don't expand
Same organization, don't see how you can be lost. You may prefer the always collapsed Bookmarks (menu).
To put things back to how you were used to, which is more efficient and takes up the same amount of space if you use styling in addition to steps 1-10 when compared to the inadequately featured poorly designed 4.0 style.
You can make '''Firefox 6.0.2''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''
* http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface
There is a lot more beyond those first 10 steps listed, if you want to make Firefox even more functional.

The keyboard shortcuts for all of the options still work, but will not let me select anything with the mouse. The Apple key seems also not to allow selection of anything on the Menu Bar.
I can browse normally when this happens; it's not freezing or crashing. And I am able to click everything on the right side of the Menu Bar; the clock, wireless icon, battery, etc. Also, other programs running at the same time don't have this problem. A restart of Firefox seems to temporarily fix the problem, but it's happened a few times, with no clear pattern as to what is causing it.
Anyone else having this problem? Solutions?I fixed this, in a fairly brutal way. Here is the solution.
Save your bookmarks, like on the desktop. Or you could launch Safari and import your Firefox bookmarks into Safari, then later pull them back into Firefox.
COMPLETELY delete everything that has to do with Firefox. That includes not only the application, any dmg file hanging around and most importantly the ENTIRE contents of User/Library/ApplicationSupport/Firefox. Indeed just throw the whole Firefox folder in the Trash. Empty the Trash just in case. Now use Safari to download a new Firefox.dmg file and start from scratch. You will have to re-establish your Preferences. But Firefox will not hang, and most importantly, it will not hang your OS. --Gene -

http://i48.tinypic.com/25gue0x.jpgSomehow your bookmarks that normally appear on the separate Bookmarks Toolbar (the part on the left) got onto your main Navigation Toolbar. To move them back, return to Customize mode and drag "Bookmarks Toolbar Items" to the Bookmarks Toolbar. Then click Done and hopefully that will stick.

It is like it opens another desktop, and I have to slide my desktop to the right to get to mozilla. Although, it is solely for mozilla and is not a true other desktop. I can not find how to open it normally like it used too. I do not have any access to the menu bar for it. When it is in the mode, it does not show anything but the tabs and address bar. It does not even show the dock unless I scroll to the left to my main desktop. I am clueless and can not find anything anywhere on the web. Does anyone have a clue?
Hi Edpainter!!
It seems like you are stuck in the Fullscreen mode.
Try to press "Shift+OptionKey+F" at the same time to move out of that mode and restart Firefox to confirm that everything is ok.
In a related note, your Firefox seems to be outdated, so I will suggest you to go to www.mozilla.org and download the latest version of it.
Let me know if it helps.
