Firefox keeps losing toolbar settings

I have a big issue since upgrading to Firefox 4.
It keeps losing my icons and custom toolbars!
It happens completely at random.
To get them back I have to restart in safe mode, tick the box "Reset
toolbars and controls" and reopen.
Sometimes when I right click "Customise" is greyed out.
Any ideas - it is getting to the point where I will dump firefox!

hi gurumukhi,
Thanks for the reply but I think you misunderstand the problem. I'm not asking how to set sync up again, I'm asking why Firefox keeps losing the sync settings in the first place. It often gets lost on all 3 of my computers so even your suggested solution doesn't always work and the only way out is to delete the account on Mozilla's website and set it up on all the computers from scratch.
I thought about this a bit more and it seems the one constant in causing FF to lose the sync information is that it happens soon after a FF version upgrade. This is recent as of about v22 or so - used to work perfectly before then.
If anyone knows of a solution that would be great.
Thanks

  • Wireless phone keeps losing IP settings

    I have a wirless 7920 wirless phone that keeps losing IP settings, on the front screen it says "Authentication OK" but when tries to get a IP address it fails. The Wlan controller is 4400 series model number 4402

    Not sure if this will help, but people across the country are experiencing difficulties with the roll-out AT&T/SBCglobal/Comcast ISP. They used to pass Internet traffic through their lines like telephone calls, but now their routers have a number of global security measures. These routers now must be programmed for IP passthrough, which assigns devices their own ISP based on the device IP plus an additional ISP identity. In addition, the routers must be programmed to open the ports required for the specific services that the user wants to enable. They couldn't figure out if the higher security settings should be default, or not, so certain events trigger the higher security settings, like traffic from foreign network or an http request within another http request, etc.

  • Firefox is losing Zoom settings for sites. Clearing history isn't being used

    Firefox is losing Zoom settings for sites.
    In Clearing history .. I am not clearing site perferences

    Hello,
    Firefox on Windows is now following display scaling options which may render text larger on high resolution displays.
    You can adjust your screen resolution.
    To modify it do the following:
    * Type '''about:config''' into the Firefox address bar and tap on the Enter key.
    * If the warning '''This might void your warranty''' appears, click '''I'll be careful, I promise'''.
    * Search for '''layout.css.devPixelsPerPx'''
    [[Image:Fx22layout.css.devPixelsPerPx]]
    * Double-click on layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to modify its value. The default is -1.0 in Firefox 22 and above. Change it to '''1.0''' to make it work like in previous Firefox versions.
    If necessary, further adjust the value in 0.1 or 0.05 steps. Use values between 1.0 and about 0.5 to reduce elements in size. Use values greater than 1.0 to increase size. For example, a value of 1.25 will increase font size to 125% to accommodate the default DPI setting in Windows 8. '''Double check the value that you enter.''' Setting a too small value will make everything disappear and a too large value will blow things up.
    If web pages still need to be adjusted then you can look at the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/ Default FullZoom Level] or [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/ NoSquint] extension.
    To adjust the font size for the user interface, you can use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/theme-font-size-changer/ Theme Font & Size Changer] extension.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Firefox keeps losing password setting on my home page and i have to keep logging in all the time

    Whenever I start Firefox it goes to my homepage, however it cannot remember my settings although it was saved and ticked to remember it, Even after logging it, Firefox will sort of log out of the page and I have to log in again. Thought it was my yahoo setting, tried it on explorer and do not have this problem.

    * Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
    * You need an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep that cookie, especially for secure websites and if you let cookies expire when Firefox closes
    * Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
    Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and password exceptions.
    * Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode

  • How do I make Adobe Reader keep my toolbar settings?

    Every time I double-click a PDF file to open it the toolbar is reset to display the default icons.  Any tools I have previously added are not kept. 

    Hi Cleatus,
    I replicated the same issue at my end. I added few tools to my toolbar & then switched between different sample pdf's, however all the tools were still present there.
    I will recommend you to repair your Adobe Reader.
    Launch Adobe Reader click on Help -> Repair Adobe Reader
    This might resolve your issue.
    Let me know if the issue persist.
    Regards,

  • Firefox keeps losing my keyboard and will not type (Mac)

    I will be part way through typing and Firefox loses the connection to my keyboard. This does not happen with Safari nor Chrome but I have to use Firefox with one web based programme because it will not display everything in Safari and Chrome is so slow it is impossible to use.
    To get around the problem, I am doing some work in Safari and only what I can't do in Safari, I am switching to Firefox.

    When you uninstall firefox, do you go to the control panel and in C:/ProgramFiles/(delete mozilla firefox)? Or only one of the two options?Try.

  • FireFox keeps losing the connection to the server at my local cable company

    frequently over past week I get a message that says Firefox cannot find the server at Armstrong cable. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling FireFox and restarting my computer. I have Trend Micro Titanium anti-virus software on my laptop and a full scan did not detect any issues or problems.

    I have exactly the same problem. Internet provider (Time Warner) repaired a cable, installed a new splitter and a new modem. It worked for a day, then same problem. TWC tech verified cable, modem and router OK, problem in the computer. My work around is to disconnect the ethernet from the computer and operate it soley on WiFi. I hope to find out what is wrong with the iMac (running Lion), but for now it works fine this way.
    I had even restoree the OS, did not help.
    Go to the network preferences and make sure your network is selected, and it should work.

  • HP 3056A w/Vista Home Premium - keeps losing network settings

     - returned it.  Auto power off was disabled - 2 hours later lost network settings / connection.  It sucks !
    Tried all possible means to connect.  It would stay for 2 hours, then lose it again.  less than a day and I returned it.  GARBAGE!

    Thanks for the info. It appears that your Time-Warner router is serving a public IP address.
    My suggestion is to use the D-Link wireless-router for your local LAN (connect the Time-Warner to the WAN input of the D-Link). If you're concerned about speed issues, you can connect your laptop into the LAN bridge of the D-Link.
    If you're worried about speed, you can do a simple before and after experiment to see if the D-link is degrading your I/O throughput. I've used sites speedtest.net with good success in troubleshooting bandwidth issues.

  • Keep Losing wsconfig Settings

    Nightmare on RHEL5 x64 with Coldfusion 8.0.1 x64 and Apache 2.2.3.
    CF8 installs fine and apache_connectors properly create the jrun module for Apache 2.2.3
    Problem is when I try and restart coldfusion (service coldfusion_8 restart) we are getting this error in the httpd logs:
    [Tue Apr 21 14:14:28 2009] [notice] jrApache[4729: 37066]  127.0.0.1:51800 connect failed[12]: 111 111 Connection refused
    [Tue Apr 21 14:14:28 2009] [notice] jrApache[4729: 37066]  Couldn't initialize from remote server, JRun server(s) probably down.
    From what I can tell the wsconfig settings simply disapear (/opt/coldfusion8/runtime/lib/wsconfig/1 was there but now completely gone).
    When I try to rebuild the jrun modules for httpd, I always get "Could not connect to any JRun/Coldfusion servers on host localhost"
    What's strange if I do a "ps aux | grep jrun" I see:
    nobody    5135  0.0  0.0   8364   704 ?        S    14:17   0:00 /opt/coldfusion8/runtime/bin/coldfusion8 -jar jrun.jar -autorestart -start coldfusion

    Any assistance would be appreciated!
    Thanks,

    A similar problem arose when Linux couldn't configure the connection. It needed the extra libraries httpd-develop, apr-develop and apr-util-develop. Install them and re-install Coldfusion.

  • I keep losing my Firefox Toolbar along with my other Tool Bars.

    I keep losing my Firefox Toolbar so I can not get to my Bookmarks, Tools etc. Today I have no Tool Bars at all.

    ''If you do not have a tab bar, just page content from corner to corner:''
    Could you check that Firefox didn't switch to its full screen view? You can switch that using either:
    * F11 key on the keyboard
    * slide the mouse all the way to the top of the window and watch for the tabs and toolbars to slide down, right-click a blank area of the tab bar > Exit Full Screen Mode
    ''If it's a regular window with a tab bar but no toolbars:''
    This could be caused by an incompatibility with one of your extensions, or a corrupted data file.
    If you tap the Alt key or press F10, can you call up the classic menu bar (File, Edit, View...)? If so, try Firefox's Safe Mode. That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    From the Help menu, choose Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins will still run
    After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
    Do you have your toolbars in Safe Mode?

  • AA3 keeps losing Audio Hardware Setup settings...

    I work in a broadcast center with a number of AA3 machines that keep losing their Audio Hardware Setup settings. It keeps switching from the LynxONE drivers to Audition 3.0 Windows Sound. I can find no documentation on this.
    I've found that the trigger is when AA3 has "release ASIO driver in background" NOT checked, and the user minimizes it and plays something from another audio program. Then they have to go in and set it back again before AA3 will pass audio again.
    Is there any way to prevent this from happening?
    Thanks.

    In the Options menu. Device Properties. Then you have tabs for Wave In and Wave Out amongst others. Also you may need to also set Device Order from the same Options menu.

  • What happened to Firefox - I suddenly lost my tab and toolbar settings and it is now an unrecognizable mess that is very slow.

    Had Firefox configured just the way I wanted it. Suddenly it was getting very slow so I quit and restarted.
    Now Firefox looks completely different. I lost my tabs and toolbar settings. Firefox looks completely different than it did an hour ago. What's going on here? The new design is dreadful.

    Hello Deardorff57--
    Did you just go through a FF upgrade by any chance? Please let us know.
