Firefox 29 button is ctrl + Shift + B. Want it to be ctrl + B

The show bookmarks button no longer opens up view bookmarks sidebar (ctrl + B). Now it is show bookmarks (ctrl + Shift + B) which opens a separate window. I want it to be the sidebar without having to do ctrl + B. Is there a way to changes this?
Thanks,
Jeff

Ctrl+B should still open the bookmarks sidebar like it did in previous Firefox versions.
Ctrl+Shift+B opens the Bookmarks Manager (Library)
You can look at the Classic Theme Restorer extension to restore some functionality that was lost with the arrival of the Australis style in Firefox 29.
*Classic Theme Restorer: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/
*You can check out the settings of the CTR extension via its Options/Preferences button on the "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" page.
*You can find extra toolbar buttons and more toolbar settings in Customize (3-bar Firefox menu button > Customize)

  • I've noticed that in the new version of Firefox that you cannot save multiple tabs at one time like the previous Firefox 3.6.or so and I wanted to know if I can find that feature again?

    I've noticed that in the new version of Firefox that you cannot save multiple tabs at one time like the previous Firefox 3.6.or so and I wanted to know if I can find that feature again?
    In the previous versions of Firefox when you went to you Bookmarks menu it gave you the options to either Bookmark This Page 'command' + 'D', Subscribe to this Page, Bookmark All Tabs 'up-arrow-key' + 'command' + 'D', and Organize Bookmarks 'up-arrow-key' + 'command' + 'B' however in the newest version of Firefox there is no Bookmark All Tabs so you can bookmark all the tabs that you have up in one window at a time. So I need to know if it is possible that the feature is now in a different place, is gone altogether, or if you can get that feature another way?
    For me personally and my work I go through hundreds of web pages a day and save around half of those so it is imperative that I be able to bookmark more then one tab at a time because I can't be bothered to bookmark every single page separately and then go through hundreds of tabs in my Unsorted bookmarks in order to sort those bookmarks. It is simple inconvenient to sort every bookmark individually that is why the previous version of Firefox with the Bookmark All Tabs button was superior in its convenience.

    Right click any tab and choose "Bookmark All Tabs".

  • My Firefox menu button has disappeared. Why? How can I get it back? Without it I don't know how to get to my FTP.

    My Firefox menu button has disappeared. Why? How can I get it back? Without it I don't know how to get to my FTP. I never did anything to make this happen.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).
    Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily if the Menu Bar is hidden.

  • Clicking "Open a New Tab" button or "Ctrl+T" doesn't open a new tab any more. How do I get that functionality back?

    Clicking "Open a New Tab" button or "Ctrl+T" doesn't open a new tab any more. How do I get that functionality back?
    When I click, type or use the File menu or try right-clicking mouse to open a new tab, nothing happens. However I am able to open links in a new tab.

    The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Evidently something in that extension isn't compatible with a Firefox security fix. Disable that extension or un-install it.
    How do I "disable" or "un-install it"?

  • Worst update ever! On my Vista everything is wrong! Back button never active; If I want open pages as new tab it opens new window; FF starts with blank page instead of Google; No url address shown on status bar when I move mouse arrow on the link etc

    Worst update ever! On my Vista everything is wrong! Back button never active; If I want open pages as new tab it opens new window; FF starts with blank page instead of Google; No url address shown on status bar when I move mouse arrow on the link etc.. Please Help!

    Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

  • Keep Orange Firefox Menu Button in Fullscreen

    When I use Firefox in Fullscreen it get rid of the Orange Firefox menu button how can I keep the menu button in fullscreen

    If you want to keep the Firefox menu button then your only option is to maximize the window.<br />
    That should place the menu bar and tab bar in the title bar.
    It is possible to have the menu bar showing in addition of the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar if you hover the mouse to the top with code in the userChrome.css file.<br />
    This only works if the menu bar is visible in normal mode (View > Toolbars / Firefox > Options)
    Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/userChrome.css
    The customization files userChrome.css (interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the user profile folder.

  • Short cut for Radio buttons (using Ctrl+ key)

    How can I select deselect Radio buttons using Ctrl + keys. I know that setMnemonic can be used to access using Alt + key. But I want to use Ctrl also. Please suggest the solution. How can I select using only single key?

    Read the API for a meaning of each of the arguments. Here is a simple example showing how to assign an "Action" to the Ctrl+1 and Ctrl+2 keys:
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class KeyboardAction extends JFrame
        public KeyboardAction()
            JPanel panel = new JPanel();
            setContentPane( panel );
            JTextField textField1 = new JTextField("Ctrl+1 or Ctrl+2", 10);
            panel.add( textField1 );
            JTextField textField2 = new JTextField("Ctrl+2", 10);
            panel.add( textField2 );
            //  Change the input map of the text field,
            //  therefore, Ctrl+1 only works for the first text field
            Action action1 = new SimpleAction("1");
            Object key1 = action1.getValue(Action.NAME);
            KeyStroke ks1 = KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_1, KeyEvent.CTRL_MASK);
            textField1.getInputMap().put(ks1, key1);
            textField1.getActionMap().put(key1, action1);
            //  Change the input map of the panel
            //  therefore, Ctrl+2 works for both text fields added to the panel
            Action action2 = new SimpleAction("2");
            Object key2 = action2.getValue(Action.NAME);
            KeyStroke ks2 = KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_2, KeyEvent.CTRL_MASK);
            panel.getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_ANCESTOR_OF_FOCUSED_COMPONENT).put(ks2, key2);
            panel.getActionMap().put(key2, action2);
        class SimpleAction extends AbstractAction
            public SimpleAction(String name)
                putValue( Action.NAME, "Action " + name );
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
                System.out.println( getValue( Action.NAME ) );
        public static void main(String[] args)
            KeyboardAction frame = new KeyboardAction();
            frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
            frame.pack();
            frame.setVisible(true);
    }Also, if you search the forum using the keyword "getActionMap", I'm sure you'll find other example.

  • Can the Firefox menu button be hidden so I can use just the menu bar?

    When I start firefox initially the menu button shows up, but if I open up other firefox windows then no firefox menu button. I want to hide the button so I can use just the menu bar. I had no firefox menu button until today, and no recent changes to my addons that I know of.

    The problem seems to be more than just a corrupted system file because it even with a partition restore firefox does a partial reset of addon configurations. The initial window with the firefox menu button then won't allow addon configuration, I have to start up a secondary window to do this.

  • Pressing the Firefox menu button minimizes my window

    Whenever I pres the orange Firefox menu button it minimizes my window and I cannot access the menu. SO if I need access to any of those functions I have to press the button, and use them from a minimized window

    Hello,
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
    Thank you.

  • When turning on my PowerBook G4 Firefox automatically boots and I don't want it to automatically boot.

    I turn on my Mac PowerBookG4 and Firefox opens, too. I don't want it to open until I open it.

    This is a Mac setting. Go to System Preferences, choose Accounts then "Login items", you can remove Firefox from that list to stop it opening at startup.

  • How to change the search provider when using the Firefox Home Button Search feature?

    In Firefox itself I have configured duckduckgo as my default search provider.
    But when I use the Firefox Home Button Search it is always set to google and I do not see any option to change that?
    I like the Firefox Home Button Search (or whatever it's called) otherwise, but it's annoying that it does not use the default from Firefox.
    I use the Google Now Launcher.

    Hey Posada143, You can still try the rice thing, but do not expect much, as roaminggnome has stated. The rice only works if you do it ASAP and leave the iPod off-- do not attempt use, turn on or charge until it is completely dried out. This is probably academic at this point but remember this for the next time: The drying can take 10 days. You put the uncooked rice and iPod in a sealed bag, change the rice every couple of days. This creates a low humidity environment and draws the moisture out of the iPod, but it takes time. Turn your iPod on to earlier, and you run the risk of shorting out, damaging the components inside. Even if done correctly it can spotty. If you do get the iPod to work (and this may require Resetting, Restoring or attempting to place it in DFU recover mode) the first thing you do is make backups, because you never know how long it will continue to work. As for your pictures, if you can't get your iPod to work, you can try data retrieval companies, however; there is no guaranty it will work and it tends to be very expensive. In the future get in the habit of as making backups, because you just don't know. And invest in and use a water tight case. Hope this helps, Good luck. Cheers.
