Firefox ate my toolbar - where did it go?

When I awakened my I-Mac, the toolbar that has been on Firefox has disappeared. I cannot retrieve it.

Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible:
*"View > Toolbars" (press F10 to display a hidden menu bar)
Open the Customize window to set which toolbar items to display:
*View > Toolbars > Customize

The icon for Download Helper has disappeared and I can't seem to get it back. I see reference to it in the Firefox Tools dropdown. Where did it go? Thank you.

Video Download Helper is an add-on that I frequently use. It used to have an icon right next to the home icon beside the URL line. It is no longer there. It disappeared after Firefox prompted me to update.
I believe that the add-on is still available to use by Firefox because it has a drop-down embedded in the "tools" drop-down in Firefox.
I have attempted to reload Video Download Helper, but to no avail.
Thanks for your help!

You may need to manually add the icon to your toolbar.

I use firefox 3.6.20 and the firefox sync plugin dissapered, where did it go?

Not sure if it needs more information besdies I went to the "what is firefox sync" and got to the install wher ethere was no plugin
was: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-set-up-firefox-sync
then: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firefox-sync/
says: "This add-on has been removed by its author. "

Firefox is not offering the Sync add-on to Firefox 3.6 users any longer. If you update to a Firefox 4+ version, you'll be able to use Sync - it is built into the Firefox 4+ versions and doesn't need an add-on.
The Sync service has been expanded to include add-ons ''(in the Nightly 12.0 versions for now)'' within the last week or so, and I suspect Mozilla didn't want to update the Sync add-on for a version which won't be supported for much longer - 3.6 support is slated to end in April.

Where did the "Stop" button go on the Navigation Bar in ff4? It isn't included in the Customize box. Is there anyway to install the "Stop" button for loading web pages or is this option compeletly gone from Firefox now?

Just installed upgrade to Firefox 4.0. Where did the "Stop" button go on the Navigation Bar. I checked the Customize dialogue box and it isn't included. Is anyone else missing it? Is there anyway to install the "Stop" button for loading web pages or is this option completely gone from Firefox now? It was a very helpful button and allowed us users to stop a web page and move on if it wasn't what we needed.

In Firefox 4 by default the Stop, Go and Reload buttons are combined and attached to the right hand edge of the location bar.
When you are typing in the location bar it will show the Go button. When a site is loading it shows the Stop button. At other times it shows the Reload button.
If you want separate buttons, right-click on a toolbar and choose Customize, you can then drag and drop the stop or reload buttons and place them elsewhere. If you place them in the order "Reload-Stop" on the right hand edge of the location bar they will be combined again. For more details on customizing the toolbar see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Where did my view, options go on 4.0

i downloaded 4.0 and can not find the tools that were located at the top left of home page like view, history,options and bookmarks where did they go. or can i just get my 3.6 back

By default on Vista the menu bar has been hidden and replaced with the orange Firefox button. You can temporarily display the menus by pressing either Alt or F10. If you permanently want to display the menu bar, after pressing Alt or F10, in the View menu select Toolbars, then click on the "Menu Bar" entry to select it.

Where did the Stream 7 drivers go?

The support page for downloading drivers for the HP Stream 7 tablet (any model) has disappeared from the HP website.
Navigating to the HP Stream 7 support page, Selecting "Software and Drivers", then "Go directly to software and drivers page", Operating System "Windows", then Version "Windows 8.1" (the only choices), then clicking the Update button, gives a message "No software or drivers are available for this product with the selected operating system. Please make a different selection, or visit the product homepage. " This happens using Firefox, IE 11, or Chrome.
These drivers have been missing for at least a few weeks, and multiple forum users have also had no luck finding them. Before that time the drivers seemed to come and go randomly, but they've stayed missing now for weeks. One dorum user has posted direct FTP links to the drivers, and they might be the latest version, but not really sure.
Where did the drivers go, HP?

This is for the 5701 as of a few days ago.

Where did the recent history dropdown go??

The very convenient recent history drop-down, you know next to the forward/back arrows upper left, is nowhere to be found in the newer Firefox versions. Can I get it back? Can I go back to 3.5 and use it??

yup me too, where did it go and how do i get it back, i have been very unimpressed with the recent update to make things 'better' or to see how many people actually use the tool's where you put them. your latest update seems more like a survey to see how many people venture beyond the mouse and see the qwerty thing. c'mon firefox be all that you can be!! its not hard to be better than microsoft just look and apple.

Where did the simple CSS view go?

Until recently I could hit OPTION+SHIFT+Y in Firefox (desktop for Mac) and I'd be able to quickly view a webpage's CSS rules. I can't any longer. I'm not sure but I think this was a built-in tool from Firefox. Did this get dropped? Or moved? Where did this go?

Unfortunately, that doesn't match any of the shortcuts for the built-in developer tools on this page, but maybe you can find an updated shortcut: https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Tools/Keyboard_shortcuts
If not, could it have been a feature of Firebug (or another add-on)?

Where did the Secure Site Icon go ?

I know the status bar was removed and an and on bar replaces it but
Where did the Secure Site Icon go ? Will not use FF without it !
I cant find anything about it. ( FF 40b7 ) How do I get it back ?
Not so little things like this will hurt FF. And YES I understand this is beta but come on guys/gals this is IMPORTANT !
I probably just missed something stupid but I could use some help please.

Every financial institution (bank, credit union,...), every news outlet (print/TV/Radio/blog) reaches out to millions of elderdly folks and other non-geeks and tells them to run away as soon as they dont see a Key or Lock on a secured page (or maybe so-called secured page from what I get you are trying to push through).
This is a major Change Management disaster waiting to happen... Not just for Firefox but for every web site using secure transactions. Countless organisations are going to get calls from users telling them, "Your site is not secured, Oprah and CNN told me so".
Go for color scheme or other visual indicator to warn of security level, but absolutely dont lose the icon !
Regards,
Stephane

I tried to establish the Menu Bar in Firefox 4, but the process did not work. I had to reinstall Firefox 3. Why?

I installed Firefox 4 on my Vista based PC, and there was not Menu Bar nor was there a Status Bar. I followed the instructions in the help article, but I couldn't get either tool bar to appear. The main problem was I did not get the temporary Menu Bar when I pressed the Alt key and released it. Since I use the Menu Bar all the time, I ended up reinstalling Firefox 3. From what I saw of Firefox 4 it seems to be a good upgrade, but I need my tool bars. Is there some other way to get the Menu bar without using the Alt key?

The Firefox Button in the upper left has replaced the Menu Bar but you can, optionally use the Menu Bar; instructions below
The Status Bar has been replaced by the Add-on Bar in Firefox 4, by can get some of the functionality by installing an Add-on; see below.
 
 
You can turn the Menu Bar on/Firefox Button off in Firefox 4. You have the Menu Bar on.
To '''''toggle''''' the Menu Bar on/off (Firefox Button off/on), do one of the following to check/un-check (on/off) Menu Bar:
*HOLD the ALT key while pressing the letters VTM on your keyboard
*Using the Menu Bar: click View > Toolbars, click Menu Bar
*Using the Firefox Button: click Firefox Button > Options, click Menu Bar
 
 
'''The Status Bar has been eliminated and replaced by the Add-on Bar'''. You can restore some of the prior Status Bar functionality on the new Add-on Bar by
*installing the Status-4-Evar extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/
*Be sure the Add-on bar is diplayed at the bottom of the Firefox 4 window
**Ctrl+/ toggles the Add-on Bar displayed or not displayed
**Firefox button > Options '''''OR''''', if you are optionally using the Menu Bar instead of the Firefox button, View > Toolbars '''''OR''''' right-click in a blank space on a toolbar::
***if no check mark next to Add-on Bar, click Add-on bar to place a check mark.
***If Add-on bar has a check mark, it is already displayed
*then drag 3 widgets to the Add-on Bar from the Customize Toolbar window (the 3 widgets are: Status Text, Progress Meter, Download Status). To open the Customize Toolbar window
**Using Menu Bar: click View > Toolbars > Customize
**Using Firefox button: click Firefox button, click small arrow to the right of Options, click Toolbar Layout
**Note: Instead of either of the above, you can do as in the past, right-click an empty space in the Navigation toolbar and choose Customize
*set options for Status-4-Evar:
**Menu Bar: Tools > Add-ons, click on Status4Ever, click Options, set options to your liking
**Firefox button: click Firefox button, click Add-ons, scroll down to Status-4-Evar, click Options, set options to your liking
