How do I get the scroll bar back to the right side of the screen and how do I get the mouse scroll wheel to work again?

Yesterday the scroll bar on Firefox was moved from the right to the left of the screen and the webpages do not scroll when using the mouse scroll wheel.

Reset the pref <b>layout.scrollbar.side</b> to '0' or set to '2' to place the scroll bar at the default right side.
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/layout.scrollbar.side
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/about%3Aconfig
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    The top bar of my browser is written in Chinese, Why and how do I fix it?

    If you see CJK (Chinese/Japanese) characters on the Firefox title bar or the Windows Taskbar then that can happen if Firefox switches to UTF-16 encoding for some reason.
    The ''RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin'' extension (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) has been reported to cause that issue.
    Be sure not to get confused with the RealPlayer plugin (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) that plays media files.
    The extension adds some extra features like saving media files.
    You can disable/remove the ''RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin'' extension in the RealPlayer Preferences (RealPlayer: Tools > Preferences > Download & Recording)

  • I have a red vertical line on the right side of my screen and it will not go away tried restarting my computer and that didn't help at all, please help me with this problem it is kind of annoying

    I have a red vertical line on the right side of my screen and it will not go away tried restarting my computer and that didn't help at all, please help me with this problem it is kind of annoying

    If it's a thin 1 pixel wide vertical line it's highly likely it could be caused by a defective LCD.
    One quick basic way to check is to note the position of the line. Then go to System Preferences, Displays, and lower the resolution. If ther line moves it's on the video and the logic board or video card if fitted is likely to be defective. If the line stays in the same position it's likely to be an LCD fault. Either way to have it repaired you'll need to visit an Apple store or AASP.
    The worst offender for this problem is the Late 2006 17" iMac. FOC replacement of the LCD used to be covered by a quality program, but it's now ended.

  • A bookmarks list has appeared on the left side of my screen and I can't get rid of it. Tried restore and even uninstalled & reinstalled Firefox 4.

    I don't know what I can add. The bookmarks list is on the left side of the screen and crowds everything else to the right so that I can't read it. I've tried everything I can think of to move it or get rid of it.

    Please click the '''Solved It''' button next to the answer that solved your Firefox support issue, '''''it appears when you are logged in''''', so this thread gets marked as '''Solved''' to help other users who may have this same problem.

  • How to I get the option bar back if my iBook is in full screen

    When an iBook the option bar is there but soon disappears.  I am new to the iPad and iBooks and I cannot seem to find a consistent way to make the option bar reappear. 

    Thank you very much, that obviously worked and was the correct answer.  I appreciate the quick response to a basic question.  I can usually figure out these types of issues.

  • How do I get the bookmarks to appear on the right side of my screen? It currently displays on the right side.

    in the past, when I click on the favorites icon, all my saved bookmarks would appear on the left side of my screen. For some unknown reason, it now appears on the the right side?

    hello bingseto, can you test if the same is happening when you launch firefox in safe mode once - maybe a theme or extension is interfering?!

  • [wmii-hg] Can i put the status bar vertically at left/right side ?

    Hi all,
    An extra wide bar at bottom is somewhat a waste of space to me, since i don't have much piping and the screen is 1366*768.
    I have been longing for a vertical statusbar in wmii (like that in Awesome ) for quite a while , but don't know whether it is possible.
    any tip is appreciated
    All the best,
    desper

    Does the scroll bar appear if you maximize the window or possibly switch to full screen mode via F12?
    You can try to open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize the window in case the current window is too high and the horizontal scroll bar falls off.
    Try to open a new window in case there is a problem with the current window.
    You can check for problems caused by a corrupted xulstore.rdf file.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • How do I get the address bar back on the top of my browser

    I just installed the new firefox and when I click on a link and the linked site appears, I lose my navigation bar and get a bar with non functional icons instead. When I right click the non functional bar, it shows rss feeds for that website and asks if I want to subscribe. How do I get rid of this non functional bar and get the navigation bar back?

    This issue can be caused by the RSS Icon extension.

  • Why Have I lost the address bar, back/forward buttons etc, and how do I get them back or should i use internet explorer?

    After updating Fire fox I seem to have lost the address bar,back/forward buttons and all my little apps. How do I get it all back and stop it from happening again?
    == This happened ==

    To get the Menu bar I followed the excellent advice - I had to press the Alt key and V to get the chance to pick toolbars from the drop down menu. I just right-clicked on the blank page and hit Alt-V.
    Thanks for the tip.

  • How do I get my bookmarks bar back on my safari browser window?

    how do I get my bookmarks bar back on my safari browser window?

    Greetings,
    In Safari go to View > Show Toolbar.
    Go to View > Customize Toolbar and drag whatever elements you want (like the default set at the bottom) to your tool bar.
    Hope that helps.

  • [svn:fx-trunk] 11697: Get scroll bars back.

    Log Message:
    Get scroll bars back.  Yesterday's rev 11652 which added an invalidateSize() call to the damageHandler interacts badly with a hack in measure() for the scroller to help it deal with resizes that sets _contentWidth and _contentHeight to 0.  It is possible that there will be a remeasure, but nothing needs to be composed so _contentWidth and _contentHeight are not updated and the scroller thinks scroll bars are needed.
    Remove the code which set _contentWidth and _contentHeight to 0 added for SDK-22469. Much has changed in both RET and the scoller since this code was done.  I retested SDK-22469 and it looks good with the code removed and we have scroll bars back when they are needed.
    QE notes: could retest SDK-22469 if you desire, need a mustella test for the absence of scroll bars when they should be there
