Height of Tabs Bar reduced after switching user

I'm using Firefox 29.0.1 on Windows 8.1. I have 2 user accounts on my computer. Both accounts are mine and I sometimes switch between them. However, when I switch between accounts and return to the original one the height of the Tabs Bar is reduced.
As there appears to be no way of posting a screenshot in a new thread please see http://imgur.com/YylR8hg
For that matter, I've noticed I don't even have to log in to another account. All I have to do to reproduce this bug is do as if I'm switching to another user but instead sign back in to the same user account.
How do I report a bug? Is this the correct venue for reporting bugs?
TIA

Hi!
As far as I know, this is a minor kink in Firefox's new Australis interface. I'm not sure if the bug has been filed yet; Mozilla's bug-files can be found [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ here].
For now, you can try to fix Firefox temporarily by clicking "Restore Down" (the button to the left of the orange Windows "Exit" button) and then clicking it again. I'm sorry that it's not a permanent fix; it's the best I can do. Stay tuned on this thread, though; other Firefox Support members might have better information.
<hr>
I hope that solved your problem!
If it did, would you please choose this answer as your solution? It would help other Firefox users to find help on the forums faster and more efficiently. Thanks!
And of course, feel free to post back if you need more help!
Happy browsing!

Classic - Printer port (USB 1) disappears after switching User

I have used an Epson SP785EX on my iMac G5 under OSX 10.3 for months without trouble. I upgraded to OSX 10.4.8 and are constantly loosing this printer expecially when printing from Classic. After having tried everything including resetting the printing system it is still not clear what exactly causes the loss of the USB Port. However it may have to do with restarting or switching users. When in the chooser after selecting the original Epson Printer driver (which I have reinstalled many times) the Port (USB 1) does not show in the 'choose printer port list' (nothing at all shows). I have also tried the 'LaserWriter 8' solution which I do not understand. Perhaps someone can explain or point me to some literature. LaserWriter 8 shows in the Chooser but again nothing shows on the right pane of the Window. I am stabbing in the dark with this. Any help will be apprecated.

I have used an Epson SP785EX on my iMac G5 under OSX
10.3 for months without trouble. I upgraded to OSX
10.4.8 and are constantly loosing this printer
expecially when printing from Classic.
The printing subsystem changed considerably between Panther & Tiger. In Panther, you had to have a working OS 9 driver in order to print from Classic. This caused problems, particularly with certain HP printers which had OS 9 drivers which were not properly coded, and with newer printers which did not have and never would have OS 9 drivers.
In Tiger, things have changed. The default driver is the LaserWriter driver. You don't have to do anything, not even select the driver. The print system will print to the LaserWriter driver and the LaserWriter will print to the OS X driver for your printer. (This, of course, means that there must be an OS X driver for that printer...)
After having
tried everything including resetting the printing
system it is still not clear what exactly causes the
loss of the USB Port.
Classic does not have direct access to hardware, including USB ports.
However it may have to do with
restarting or switching users. When in the chooser
after selecting the original Epson Printer driver
(which I have reinstalled many times) the Port (USB
1) does not show in the 'choose printer port list'
(nothing at all shows).
This is normal.
I have also tried the
'LaserWriter 8' solution which I do not understand.
Just print, normally. The LW8 dialog box will pop up. You can then select the printer you want to use. (I have several printers on my system, two HP inkjets, a Brother laser, a label printer, a fax modem, and Adobe PDF)
1 type cmd-p or however you normally print
2 select the printer from the pull-down menu on the LW8 dialog
3 print
4 the system will hand off the print job to the proper OS X print queue, which will then print the file. If you're printing in color to a color printer, you'll get color output. If you're printing to Acrobat Distiller, you'll get a PDF. If you're faxing, you'll get the fax dialog so you can enter your dialing & cover sheet info.
Perhaps someone can explain or point me to some
literature. LaserWriter 8 shows in the Chooser but
again nothing shows on the right pane of the Window.

Just print. That's all.

Horizontal scroll bar missing after switch to Apex 4 theme

Hi,
I upgraded Apex to 4.02 and switch my application theme from old 3.2 theme to new Apex 4.0 theme,
I found that all the Apex 4.02 won't show horizontal scroll if the interactive report width larger than the browser windows width.
Is this the default behaviour of all the 4.0 theme?
How can I change it to display the horizontal scroll bar.
Thanks
Vincent

How about editing the template with some css?
something like this should fix your problems (worked fine for me)
#two-col
overflow: auto;
dont forget to change the template body (Shared Components --> Templates --> Edit Page Template )
(div class="tab-holder")
#REGION_POSITION_04#
(/div)
note: I reversed the tags to ( ) because it dont shows them else

Active tab appears inactive after switching to Safari

Hi,
I've had this problem since I updated to Leopard.
When I switch to Safari, e.g. with command+tab or change space, the active tab of Safari seem inactive while the rest of the application seems active (the tab has a lighter gray).
Here is a screenshot of it http://img.skitch.com/20080403-1i26eeynm4re5fiqmgipai5q8r.png
This is not just ugly, I have to click on another application then switch back to get rid of it, and I can't use shortcuts correctly – if I press command+w Safari asks me if I want to close all open tags, and I can't use spacebar to scroll forward in sites.
I haven't found anything about this error, I'm getting desperate
ps. removing the plist file didn't work

Why are mouse settings defaulting after 'switch user'?

change mouse settings from default for user A
switch to user B
switch back to user A
changes to mouse settings have been wiped and the default mouse settings restored
What is causing this and how can I prevent it from happening?
I've tried various things with user A like logging off entirely, rebooting, even making other changes in the settings that require an admin password in the hope that this might force some sort of admin override

Close all windows and quit all applications.
Hold the option key down and click the "Go" menu in the Finder menubar.
Select "Library" from the dropdown, then "Preferences" folder.
Look for these two files.
com.apple.desktop.plist
com.apple.systempreferences.plist
Right click each one of those and select " Move To Trash" from the contextual menu.
Restart the computer.

Modifier Keys Reset After Switching User

So, I started using and external monitor, keyboard and mouse with my MBP at work. I am running into an issue with modifier keys. I can switch the command and option keys, but when I change to another user on my MBP, and then change back, the keys are back to their original position. Any ideas?

I'm having a similar problem...
in 10.5.8 and prior I had an aluminum pro keyboard connected to my macbook pro unibody 15. I disable the caps-lock modifier key because I don't use it.
Since the upgrade (not sure if it was 10.6 or 10.6.1 that caused it) I am not able to REenable the caps-lock modifier for the external keyboard only. All the settings for the macbook keyboard work as expected.
I also just noticed that there are three keyboards listed in the "Select Keyboard:" drop down menu. The first is the internal macbook (works fine), the 2nd is "Unknown External Keyboard" and the 3rd is Apple Keyboard. I don't know what the Unknown External Keyboard is as I've never had another keyboard attached. But it doesn't matter which of the 2nd two entried I try to adjust, it still doesn't affect the external aluminum keyboard.
No matter what i do, my external keyboard has the caps-lock modifier disabled (which normally is fine for me, but I have a need for it now)
Any help would be great!
I found my solution here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10094990&#10094990
It was caused by the USB dongle for my Logitech MX Revolution mouse. As soon as I unplugged it, the "Unknown External Keyboard" item disappeared and was able to use the modifier settings as normal. I hope you have the same situation!
Cheers

Temporarily show tab bar upon switching tabs with the keyboard in fullscreen mode

I use Firefox in fullscreen mode and switch tabs with Ctrl + PgUp/PgDn. I need to peek at the tab bar when I switch tabs, to avoid searching for the desired tab with multiple shortcut presses.
Is there a way to temporarily show the tab bar when I switch tabs with the keyboard shortcut? I want the tab bar to hide again after, say, 2 seconds of no tab switching.

You can try to set the focus to the location bar with Ctrl+L before switching the tabs to make the toolbar and tab bar appear.

Flash Player Installs but Uninstalls When Switching Users

I use Vista Business on my home computer. We have multiple users on our computer. I do not have a problem installing the Flash Player, but when we switch users or restart the computer, the player does not work. We used IE7 and recently IE8 and Flash 10.0.22.87.
After switching users or restarting, when we visit a website that needs flash, we get a message that we don't have flash. If we immediately follow the link to download flash, we get the message that installation was successful but the completion movie does not show. We have to close the browser to reinstall from the abobe website.
We have a temporary fix. We double click on FlashUtil10b.exe in C:\windows\system32\Macromed\Flash. That works until the next time we switch users or restart the computer.
The player does not stop working if a single users exits IE and then opens it later.
I have tried the troubleshooting methods in Abode Support.

Strange Tab Bar appearance

For some strange reason, the Tab bar looks very weird. It's as if the actual height the tab bar has doubled with the text aligned at the top. A selected tab bar a grey bar. If I could attach an image it would be easier!
Any ideas?

if this is what you mean, i have the same issue!

Strange Graphics issue on switching users after awaking from sleep

As the title says... Here's the scenario:
I logon to my MBP, do some work, then put it to sleep.
My girlfriend comes along, and opens up the MBP. My logon details are presented to her, so she presses "Switch User".
When she does this, the MBP goes really funky. Loads of strange colors, some small areas of my logged in desktop appear, then loads of white cubes appear.
See:
http://www.rock-sound.net/stevetemp/stage1.jpg
http://www.rock-sound.net/stevetemp/stage2.jpg
Can anyone else confirm this happens on their MBP ? Otherwise Genius Bar here I come..

This happened on my iMac G5 and had the logic board and display replaced to no avail. Only happened when switching users.
Not happening on my MacBook Pro ... so far....and hope it stays like that.
Someone also said it might be to do with bad capacitors.

After an update, i'm no longer able to switch users

When ever I customize the toolbar the open new tab sign that is the + sign near the lastly opened tab in the tab bar disappears and it remains so even after restarting Firefox.

When ever I customize the toolbar, the open new tab sign that is the + sign near the lastly opened tab in the tab bar disappears and it remains so even after restarting Firefox. This happens only after updating to the new version 4.0.1 it never happened in the older versions 3.x.xx- checked it thrice. Thought it could be a bug and i didn't know where to report also don't have time and patience to search for the appropriate page so i'm reporting here for improving my favorite browser.

You can find the New Tab button showing as a '+' on the Tab bar. 
You can open the Customize window and drag the New Tab button from the Tab bar on another toolbar and it will become a regular toolbar button like the New Tab button that you have in Firefox 3 versions. 
If you want the New Tab button at the far right end of the Tab bar then place a flexible to the left of it.
