Firefox browser not loading, page tabs not loading, search bar sending me to a different location. back buttons,refresh and x grayed out

search bar is not right, missing one search bar. last week the same bar would take me to a shopping site other than the site i typed in. now some things are missing, or grayed out on the tool bar, back buttons, refresh and red x is one. google button isn't working any more or option buttons. when it loads it doesnt show any tabs from last time. i have to reload several times for it to work. Some pages won't open when selected from my bookmarks.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== last week

What version of Firefox are people using? do you have any firewall or internet security software and what version?
To find out the version of software you have go to Help and then choose About. I remember reading an article a while ago about a firewall application that when they did an update, it stopped some browsers from working or something like that.
I wonder if this is something similar?

  • Where do I find the "page back" button. Mine is "grayed out"

    On many pages I can't use the page back button it is gray and won't allow me to use it.
    When this happens how can I get to page back other than closing Firefox and reopening it.
    thank you

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • In landscape view Firefox browser not visible, need to make browser window NOT ZOOM or STRETCH!

    Screen goes to black when tablet (ASUS Eee Pad Tablet) is turned to the landscape view I need to make the browser Window on the Android Firefox Browser NOT ZOOM or STRETCH to fill the Screen! [email protected]

    Yes we know that Android improperly suggests using zoom for Firefox mobile. Firefox 9 has a specific tablet UI that will correct this issue. It will be in the Android Market as Firefox beta around Nov 10th.

  • I have to tell Firefox that I am logging in from "home" every time I log into Facebook. Firefox will not let me unclick ""Send me an email" under Login Notifications in Facebook "My Account" settings. Why? (to both questions)

    I have to tell Firefox that I am logging in from "home" every time I log into Facebook. Firefox will not let me unclick ""Send me an email" under Login Notifications in Facebook "My Account" settings. Why? (to both questions)

    It started last week - I normally use Chrome to play my games in Facebook - but I started getting "Sorry, this feature isn't available
    right now"..... When I used IE..... no problem - a friend said to install Foxfire, which I did, but I made the mistake of having my bookmarks and whatever transferred from Google as it is the browser I used most often and it has all my bookmarks, but
    now it does the same thing when I try to log into Facebook. - I have no problem with any other website.  I deleted both Google and Foxfire and tried to start over - I cleared History and checked all the boxes hoping that this would help - but it did not.
     I can't understand why I can get in with IE, but not Google or Foxfire.  Do you have any suggestions.......
    On Friday, it started working again - and everything was fine.  But on Sunday evening I ran the History Clean in Google and when
    I went to log back in, I couldn't and got the same "Sorry" message and has stayed this way since. 
    I ran a Norton scan of the entire computer, a Hitman scan, a CCleaner scan, ...  all to no avail. Problem still exists.
    I tried to run a restore program prior to the problem, but I am getting error messages like mad.
    there has been two Windows Updates in this time frame and I don't know if this has anything to do with it or not - but my Restore program does not work.
    NYCsDancer -- if its working via Internet Explorer, we can't help you much. Most of the time it has to do with Cookies, or your Java Version. I'd reach out to Google's forums for assistance with Chrome

    or Firefox support for assistance with Firefox

    * Make sure that you not run Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode
    * In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and features like visited links are disabled and not showing
    * You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing", possibly grayed

  • Itunes 11.1.5 will not sync new apps with iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.6 and gives grayed out "install" no message?  How does one work around this?

    Itunes 11.1.5 (MacBook Pro,OS 10.6.8) will not sync new apps with iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.6 and gives grayed out "install" no message?  How does one work around this?

    Just reboot your laptop... While its rebooting try to reboot your phone also by holding the home and power buttonn for 10-15 seconds...When your phone is turned off try to connect it to iTunes and it will recognize your phone in recovery mode.
    If you have the .ipsw file for iOS 7.0.6 saved in your desktop then in itunes press shift and click on Restore.
    Select the ipsw file and let it restore.
    If you dont have it downloaded then simply click on restore.
    I hope it works
    Cheers !

    what a long post....Apple, btw, does not read this stuff, so ranting, raving, and complaining here might make you feel good, but it does no good at all. That being said, I, too have a Mac Pro Quad Core Xeon with 6 gigs of ram and an nVidia 8800 GT graphics card (not as good as yours, alas) and I've had no problems at all with it. Yes, it doesn't have Thunderbolt, but maybe we Mac pro owners will get lucky and someone will come out with an adapter (probably not). No, you probably don't have to throw away your Mac Pro, but if you do, I'll take it, for a small "recycling" fee >:-) That was a joke.  Yes, the Mac Pro's future isn't quite clear, YET. Hopefully that will improve very soon. As for not being able to upgrade to Mountain Lion. Don't worry about that too much, Nobody is forcing you to do that.  Your Mac Pro won't quit working if it isn't installed. From what  I've heard, you should give the new OS a chance, and wait to get it, in case there might be some bugs, or stuff not working with the new OS, which has been known to happen. Yes, we Mac Pro owners don't like being treated like mushrooms-kept in the dark, and being fed......... but Apple is Apple and it will do what it does, and there is nothing you or me can really do to change that. All I can say is....trust, have faith, be patient, go for a walk, do something else to take your mind off of this problem. IF apple decides to drop the Mac Pro for good, and that's a big "IF", I think they will anger a whole bunch of people
    which isn't good. However, that hasn't happened...YET. Let us hope that it doesn't

  • I do not find Airdrop logo on my iphone also the location services are locked and cannot be changed.

    I am using an iPhone 5S 64GB 7.1.2 version installed.
    I do not find Airdrop logo on my iphone also the location services is locked and cannot be changed.

    Have you tried a Reset: Hold down the home and sleep buttons, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons.
    If that didn't work try a Restore from your backup in iTunes. If that fails Restore it as a new iPhone in iTunes.
    And if all the above fail, you do not have an employer profile on your iPhone, and there are no Restrictions set, get it serviced.

    I no longer have an email address that was also my Apple ID. Can I still use the email address as my Apple ID?
    Apple recommends you change your Apple ID to your current, working email address. This will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.
    Note: @mac.com and @me.com Apple IDs can not be renamed.  If you no longer use the .mac or .me email address be sure to add your valid email address as an additional email address.

  • How do I get my Tabs above the Search Bar?

    Using Firefox 36.0.4 on Windows 8.1. I know there used to be a way to get my Tabs above the Search Bar, but for the life of me, I can't find it, LOL. Can anyone give me a clue, please, and thank you! Also, can we not get the Firefox button anymore instead of the "File, Edit, View," etc. at the top of the browser? I'm having a hard time changing that, too. Again, thanks for your replies.

    The Tab bar should be at the top by default in current releases.
    If that isn't the case then you likely have an extension or [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration code in userChrome.css] to achieve this.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    In current Firefox releases (29 and later) the orange Firefox menu button has been replaced by the three-bar Firefox Menu button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar and this button is always visible whether the Menu Bar is visible or hidden.
    *There is a star like button next to the search bar on the Navigation Toolbar to bookmark the current web page and a "Show your bookmarks" button next to it to open the Bookmarks in a drop down menu.
    *You can find "Show All Bookmarks" to open the Bookmarks Manager (Library) at near the top of the drop-down list.
    *If you bookmark a page then "Bookmark This Page" in the Bookmarks menu as well as the tooltip of the star changes to "Edit This Bookmark".
    *You can toggle the title bar on/off via the "Title Bar" button at the bottom left in the Customize palette window.
    You can toggle the Menu Bar on/off via the right-click context menu of a toolbar to have menus like the File menu with Print (Ctrl+P) and Print Preview and the Bookmarks and History and Tools menus.

  • When i select and try to load a page from the google search bar firefox freezes - firefox 4 win 7 bullguard antivirus.

    When I search for something in the google search bar, the search completes but if I select a result firefox freezes and will not load the page. Pages load ok from bookmarks.

    Were you typing in the search box on the Navigation Toolbar, or in the search box on a Google page?
    Did the entire browser turn upside down, or just the page content?
    Because you posted from IE10, the forum didn't capture any information about your plugins or extensions. Rather than compile a list, you might just try Firefox's Safe Mode, a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
    Can you replicate the problem?
    Safe mode does not automatically disable plugins. If you want to rule those out as well, you can disable them here:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins category
    Any difference?

  • Unable to close home page tab or unable to close firefox by closing home page tab (when if that is the only last tab remaining in the browser

    Recently I noticed that I could not close my browser by closing the last tab, which is nothing but home page tab. also noticed that when I open my browser and after opening many other tab if I want to close home page tab I could not close. If I closed it then I cant navigate or surf from that tab.
    This may be due to some add-on causing trouble.
    The problem does not arise in safe mode. Also if I group tab after closing, it is counted as tab but I cant open that particular tab.

    # Click the orange Firefox button, then select Options to open the options window
    # Go to the General panel
    #Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my home page"
