  • On the most upper left of the Title Bar (the part where the x box is on the right side) where the Firefox icon should be (on the upper left corner) I have a printer icon instead. Why did that happen and how do I change it? Thanks for any help.

    I don't actually have an answer for you, but ditto on changing things that aren't broken. Drives me crazy!!

  • How do I get the Firefox icon to appear on my menu bar instead of a question mark?

    An icon showing Firefox on what lloks like a memort stick icon appeared on my desktop. I am a Mac OSX user. When I dragged the icon to my menu bar, a question mark (?) appeared instead of the Firefox icon. How do I get the firefox icon to appear correctly on the men bar?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

  • The firefox icon is missing on the upper left hand corner

    My home page opens directly to my gmail account. The Firefox icon with the down-arrow is missing, however below that is the file, edit, view, history, bookmarks, tools, help tabs. How do I get a Firefox homepage with a tab to gmail instead of gmail as the homepage? Will that solve the problem?

    Hello,
    Sometimes toolbars are missing because they are hidden, or changed (disable the menu bar = firefox button), you just need to bring them back up. Visit this article to learn how to bring them back: [[Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars]]. You can learn tips and tricks at the same time.

  • When i click on the firefox icon it doesnt open the firefox browser page

    when i click on the firefox icon to open it no page loads

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • I turn on my computer, click on the Firefox icon on my desktop, the web browser appears but the same screen always appears and says, "Well this is embarrassing" and says the problem is due to a previously opened tab.

    I am online everyday. I turn on my computer and click on the Firefox icon. A web browser appears but not with my Yahoo! homepage. Instead of seeing my Yahoo! homepage I see a screen that says, "Well this is embarrassing." I read that the problem is due to a recently opened tab. It gives me the options of either restoring all previously used tabs from the last time of use or starting a new session. If I choose to restore previous tabs, I am further given the option to select which tabs I want restored and which ones I don't want to restore. I always choose to start a new session because all previous tabs consist of work that I have completed in the past (whether it be yesterday or the day before). I, therefore, have no interest in restoring a tab that contained an article about our current economic situation for example. As previously stated, I choose to start a new session every time I receive the "Well this is embarrassing" error message. When I choose this option, I am brought to a fresh tab with no information regarding work, articles, or entertainment from yesterday or some time in the past. I wish to have an explanation as to why this happens. I do not go on any malicious web sites or anything of the sort. This happens every single day. The automatic error message that appears is "Well this is embarrassing." For Firefox to say "Well this is embarrassing" is not close to the response it should give.

    This can be a problem with the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
    Delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.

  • The Firefox icon often disappears from the toolbar when I go to another window like Outlook or Media Player. When I close down all other windows it reappears again. What can I do about that?

    When it has disappeared I can open Firefox again using the menu or the opening icon on the toolbar, but then it only shows up blank, so without the tabs that were opened before. Closing down all other icons on the toolbar is the only way to make the Firefox icon reappear and for me to open Firefox again with all my tabs.
    Please excuse my English, the jargon is difficult.

    Thanks for your reply, cor-el.
    The odd thing is, this problem hasn't occurred again since I posted it. What kind of magic is that? :-))
    It really is odd, since I had it at least twice a week for several months.
    So far, so good, then.
    I'll wait a while more, and will then close it as being solved. I guess that's the procedure.
    We'll put it down to temporary bugs or pc mysteries.
    Though I like the magic option more...

  • How do I get the airplay icon to stay in my menu bar?

    I have a macbook pro, and I mirrored my entire desktop to my apple TV for a moment. So I have all the correct software, but the icon won't stay in my menu bar. I opened a video and the connection from computer to TV was lost. How do I get it to stay in my menu bar?

  • How can I get my Firefox persona to work with the new version of Firefox?

    Everything was working fine, then my computer automatically updated Firefox and my persona background disappeared. It's listed as enabled on the add-ons backgrounds under add-ons manager. I have Foxkeh tail wag. I went and reinstalled it but it still doesn't come on. I went to the firefox personas page and tried to install a different persona. NONE of them work now. How can I get my persona background back?

    Fixed! Thank you!

  • How can I make the icons I place on my desktop from web pages not have the Firefox icon. I want the program's icon.

    When I slide the icon, with web address, over to the desktop I want the shortcut icon to be the Web site's icon not the Firefox flaming globe.
    Thanks,
    Steve

    If you drag a link or favicon on the left end of the location bar onto the desktop to create an internet shortcut then that shortcut gets the icon of the default browser.
    If you want a different icon (favicon) then you have to assign that icon yourself to the desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties).
    You can usually get the favicon if you append "favicon.ico" to the main domain of a website (e.g. http://www.mozilla.com/favicon.ico ) to display the favicon in a tab and save that image to a folder or see if you can find it in "Tools > Page Info > Media".

  • When I click on the Firefox icon on my desktop the Netscape sign on window opens and doesn't close. Firefox opens after repeated clicking but it never connects.

    The wheel that says "connecting" just spins indefinitely. Does anybody know what the problem could be and how it can be fixed? This started a couple weeks ago out of the blue. It never happened before. I've been logging in to Firefox for the last couple years without any issues. Funny thing is I'm not even sure if we have Netscape. I've looked on-line for info on viruses that behave the way I've described above and I havn't found anything.

    If you reinstalled iChat you need to download and install the combo for you OS, what OS are you on 10.?.?

  • Just updated to 7.0.1 for Mac Snow Leopard, but the icon in my dock isn't the firefox symbol, it's a "document" icon. How can I get the firefox icon in my dock again?

    I was given an auto-update message from Firefox, which asked me to restart the program to initiate the update. As soon as Firefox restarted, I got a weird document icon in my dock - in the place where the Firefox icon was moments before. The new update of Firefox seems to be working just fine, but I would like the Firefox icon in my dock and not this unrelated icon. Can you help, please?

    I had this problem. Re-instal Firefox. After you drag the Firefox icon in to the Applications icon it is going to ask you if you're sure that you want to replace the version that's there - say yes. Then go down to your dock and remove the Firefox icon - drag it off the dock so it "poof!s" away. You can now put the icon on your dock again from your newly updated version. If that doesn't fix it drag it off the dock again, probably no need to re-update for the third time. Fixed it for me anyway. GL!

  • After I double click on the firefox icon, firefox refuses to load. Why?

    '''bold text'''I have windows 7. When I double click on the firefox icon on my desktop the circle moves around and around then stops and nothing happens

    Hi dizzydar,
    You should look at [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox this article about that specific issue] and the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved]. These should give you all the information you need!
    If that doesn't work:
    # Type about:config in the address bar
    # Click ''I'll be careful, I promise'' if prompted
    # In the Filter input field type ''startup''
    # Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
    # Delete the text string and click ''OK''
    # Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.
    Hopefully this helps!
