My dock and top menu bar disappear when I am using Firefox

When I am using Firefox 4 my Dock and the top of screen meu bar disappear (similar to a Hide) but will reappear when I click my mouse on the desktop. It really annoying! I can't minimize the Firefox window into the Dock for later use at all! Any way that I can make this stop?

This has happened to me before and it took me a long time to work it out.
But all you need to do is froce quit safari or any application that this is happening to and start the application again.
Hope it works.

Please Help SL - Everything 'quits unexpectedly' and top menu bar flashing

Please Help. Snow Leopard - Everything 'quits unexpectedly' and top menu bar flashing.
Basically, I have been using snow leopard for about 1-2 weeks now without any problems, apart from the strange trackpad expose glitch, but I can live with that. But a new problem has arisen that I CANNOT live with. Basically I plugged in my MiniDisplay > VGA adaptor and a Wacom internet tablet for the first time. And when it booted up rather than just the usual spinning gear, their was a progress bar as-well. Then it booted into Safe Mode.?
Everything was fine in safe mode apart from spotlight didn't work properly so I rebooted and this time it loaded normally. EXCEPT about 5 minutes after I logged on the top menu bar started to flash on and off about ever 1-2 seconds and virtually every single application would quit unexpectedly before even loading. I haven't really looked into it apart from a quick search on google which doesn't seem to bring up anything similar, but atm I am having to use my bootcamp partition with windows installed (shock horror :D) just so I can browse the internet.
Additional details -
I have tried resetting PRAM + NVRAM with no joy
While logging on (before it crashes), menu items (e.g. Airport, Battery Indicator, Facebook Notifier) all load up on the far right BEFORE the clock, which never happened before the problem, don't know if this will help isolate the problem, but its worth mentioning..
Don't really want to go down the fresh install route if possible, as I did this with leopard about 2 months before Snow Leopard was released

I noticed it some weeks after installing Snow Leopard, and didn't think much about it since I have a Wacom mouse, and the Wacom driver often has some little peculiarities at startup with the Mac OS--sometimes everything is perfectly ordinary, there will be an OS update and a little oddness shows up, the driver eventually gets updated and the oddness disappears until some other OS update, and so on. I just figured that was what it was until my brother asked about the missing the menu bar after startup, which reappears with a click. He doesn't use a Wacom mouse, but he does have some other 3rd party mouse. I don't know whether 3rd party mouse drivers are at fault or not. But it is not a problem with the SystemUIServer.....the entire menu bar is missing, not just a goof-up on the Spotlight end, where SystemUIServer is in charge of things. Since simply clicking the mouse brings the menu bar up I've never even bothered to check the logs to see if anything is noted there.

Mac Mini desktop folders/icons and top menu blinking on and off

Hello. I've just returned to my Mac Mini after being away for a few days. Upon booting and having the desktop fully load, I have been experiencing all folders/icons and top menu bar blinking on and off every ten seconds. I have only opened Fire Fox to try and diagnose why this is happening. No solution yet.
I am running Snowleopard with Mavericks and I'm aware Mavericks is a little buggy at the moment (beach ball used to blink on and off every now and again and performance has gotten slow) I only have the HDD replaced last week as the last one failed. I really need to fix this problem soon as I rely on my Mac to work from home.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Jan

I have sovled the problem! for now at least. I came across another users suggestion to dissable "sync status icons" in google drive as it confics with the finder in Mavericks. I guess this would only work with others having this problem with Google Drive and Mavericks.

My dock and top tool bar are both overlapping how do i return them to normal?

My dock and top tool bar are both overlapping how do i return them to normal?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Can't find Finder and Dock and Desktop has disappeared

I was backing up my MBA (OS 10.6.0) today using Superduper and something strange happened.
My hard drive became corrupted and filled with files (105 GB used and 0 GB available). The HDD capacity is 120GB. About 15GB is bootcamp. The backup failed.
I deleted a few files and freed up 200MB when I realized the hard drive had become full (I had 20GB free space on the Macintosh HD before this).
When I checked Disk Utility it told me my hard drive was corrupted and I should repair it using the operating system disc (Snow Leopard) to start up the computer and then go to Disk utility and perform Repairs.
I did all that and Disk Utility told me the hard drive was OK after the repair.
However, when I restart the computer, I get a blue screen. I cannot see the Dock. And Finder cannot be found. When I do Force Quit, there is no Finder in the list.
For some reason even though I do not have a Dock, I was able to get a menu at the top. I don't know what I did to get it. Suddenly I got a message saying I couldn't open iTunes even though I didn't try to open it (the Dock has disappeared). But at least I got some menu at the top.
With the menu I was able to open some items on Recent Items including Firefox.
I went to my email and tried to send some files to the same email address. I was able to browse Finder by doing this and my Desktop seems to be OK. I can open various files by using the browse function in upload files in my email and they all seem OK.
So I know that my Desktop files are intact. I haven't checked them all (I have like 50 files on my desktop) but on a quick look, all the Desktop items appear to be there.
How can I get the Desktop and the Dock back?
How can I get Finder to show up?
I just have a blue screen at the moment.
When I get the Desktop back I want to erase some files and create space.
Somehow the hard drive got filled up when I tried to do a backup using Superduper.

All resolved.
I attached an external drive to the MBA in an attempt to export Firefox Scrapbook files onto it.
Exporting failed (my fault – I didn't follow the steps correctly) and I ended up having to restart the computer.
Surprisingly the screen opened in bootcamp.
Because there was an external hard drive connected to the computer, I presume this is what prompted the computer to open in bootcamp. Normally I would have to hold down the Option key to open bootcamp but my computer's hard drive had been corrupted so ....
From bootcamp (Windows XP) I restarted the computer, this time holding down the Option key.
I selected the Mac volume as the startup disk.
When it booted, it sputtered a few times and it looked like it was going to open in the blue screen again (I could see the familiar strange things that occur when it opens in the blue screen). However, after a while, it opened with the Desktop screen.
All the icons I had on the Desktop appeared and I had the screen back to normal with Dock and everything there.
I deleted some items (I only had 200MB left) to create some room on the hard drive.
After browsing the web, I came across the reason for why my HD suddenly filled up during the failed back up before things went awry.
From Pink Mutant
http://pinkmutant.com/articles/TigerMisc.html
"Failed Backups and the Volumes Folder
Another potential stealer of hard drive space is a failed backup, where the drive the backup was supposed to go to was unavailable, so the backup software simply copied the files into the invisible /Volumes folder. Again, use the Go and Go to Folder menu bar item ....."
This is exactly what happened to me. I found the two volumes, "Untitled" and "Untitled 1" as Pink Mutant said I would in "Go" ("Go to Folder") and I deleted them (I should have backed up my computer before doing this though). Straightaway, 20GB of space came back on my HD.
My computer had copied the backup onto my HD instead of the external HD during the failed backup operation. That's why the internal HD filled up.
So it's a relief that I got the Desktop back again – purely by accident – and I also found what was filling up all the HD space.
So a tip: if someone finds their backup fails for whatever reason, don't try to back up again. Check HD space and if it has suddenly shrunken, go to "Go", and then "Go to Folder", type "/Volumes" and click "Go". That should bring up the offending volumes if any. Move them to Desktop. Check "Get Info" and have a look at the contents if you can (I couldn't). Do a backup of the computer. Then delete the problem volumes (if you find that these volumes are the cause of the problem). You can then delete the same volumes from the backup at this point.

MacBook 2008 10.6.8 no dock and no menu bar

MacBook4,1 (13 inch 2008 model)
OS: 10.6.8
No OS operating disc or bootdisk
I am rewriting/submitting this question as I didn't think the original title was helping my cause:
I have an older macbook (white macbook4,1) without any boot disc or OS disc. Currently using 10.6.8 OS. As the Administrator, I can log in and do get a dock and menu bar. All seems okay. However, this is my childs computer and when she is able to log in, but the only thing that appears is a blank screensaver screen. There is no dock or menu bar. Only the cursor appears. Again, I do not have any discs as I purchased this sometime ago and it was a used macbook and didn't come with any discs. BTW, this just recently occurred as she was able to use normally and as far as I know, nothing was downloaded knowingly that caused this. We've been using 10.6.8 OS for sometime now on this unit. Thank you

My top bar disappears in safari--why?

when in safari, my top bar disapears..when i place the cursor at the top of the monitor it reappears but does not stay in place, it disapears again..this happen once before but i forgot the solution
thanks

You are in Full Screen Mode.
When you are in Full Screen mode, Menubar and top bar are hidden.
To get out of the Full Screen mode, when the menubar drops down, click the
blue double arrow at the right most end of the menubar.
Pressing the esc key in the keyboard will also do the same thing.
Grey double arrow at the top right most part of the window is to make the window to enter Full Screen Mode.
You want the Safari window to fit the screen?
Move the mouse pointer to the bottom right corner of the Safari window.
Double arrows will appear. Drag it to fit the screen.

Radio Mix (and more) menu disappears on Lumia 820 ...

Hi there, I have recently bought a Lumia 820 from T-mobile in Germany. The phone is great except that after a few times use of the nokia music, I could no longer find the menu of Radio mix, song search, so on and so on. All that I have now is "my music" and "settings" (I hope the translation is exact what is expected on the English version). The last time I was listening to the German chart, which is now the only mix radio I can listen to, because I cannot choose the mix without the menu.
The version I am using is 3.6.99.508
Please help. Thank you!

Hi nk99
Thank you for posting and welcome to Nokia forum!
The Mix radio is part of the Nokia Music application, it is available for those regions which are offering the Nokia Music services. If you can't find the application that would normally mean these services are not (yet) available to you. Mix radio, Music Store and Gig finder are only available in certain territories.

How do you restore a disappeared Top Menu in Thunderbird 24.4.0

I have Thunderbird under Ubunbtu in two Lenovo notebook computers. After the automatic update to version 17, the Top Menu disappeared from one computer. This is a quite annoying bug, as Thunderbird is always maximised, as there are no buttons to close or minimize, so Thunderbird completely covers over the menu buttons for the operating system.
With every update from version 18 to version 24 of Thunderbird, I hoped this bug would disappear, but it remains. Upgrading the Ubuntu operating system from version 12.04 to 12.10 to 13.10 to 14.10 made absloutely no difference. Thunderbird has no Top Menu and no Close or Minimise button.
Some said they stopped this bug by setting mail.tabs.drawInTitlebar to "false". It makes no difference to either computer setting this to either "true" or "false." One computer retains a Top Menu (Title bar" and the other never gets one. I am not using any themes, and I have many times compared EVERY setting between one thunderbird installations and the other, and there is no difference (except one has my email and the other has my wife's email.)

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Command+Shift+F).

When I use full screen, the top menu is supposed to disappear but does not, why?

Firefox ver. 3.6.8: A friend was using my computer on the web on Firefox. It was already set in "full screen" mode [F11]. She did something, doesn't know what, but now when I go into full screen mode [F11] the top menu does NOT disappear as it should. You know, you hit F11 and when it goes into full screen mode, the last thing that happens is the top menu "disappears" and NOW it doesn't. Iv'e checked configurations and can't figure out what went wrong or is wrong.
Can anyone help, PLEASE!!!
Ellen
