How do I keep the "Open all tabs" button from just suddenly appearing on my taskbar?

There is a weird glitch that keeps happening in my Firefox browser. It involves my taskbar and happens almost every time I use Firefox. Not sure when it started, seems like after I upgraded to FF 11.0 but don't hold me to that. Anyway, here is what I see, behind my open windows and apps buttons on my taskbar, I can see part of another button that is labled as "Open all tabs". Every so often, the button actually shows infront of my other taskbar buttons. I have my OS (Windows7 (64bit) set to run with best performance and in classic view if that might make any difference. I'm also noticing more frequent times of FF becoming non-responsive, when I open taskmanager and close FF, the dialog says there are 3 windows open when I only have 2 browser windows open.
Here are other specs:
OS Name Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bits)
Version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601
Processor Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU E3400 @ 2.60GHz, 2603 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 2 Logical Processor(s)
Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 2.00 GB
Firefox ver 11.0
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:11.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/11.0
Java(TM) Platform SE 6 U31

I would be glad for any help with these issues.
Thank You

How can I put the "open new tab" button back to the right of the right most tab in FF 4?

It's very annoying to have to go up to the corner to click on the open new tab button when it used to be to the right of the right most tab. I have other buttons, like print up there and have to think about which one to click. What was wrong with where it was? It worked for me. At least tell me how, or allow me to change it back. It is one thing to make a product faster but allow the users to keep things in familiar places if they want. I've liked that option on Firefox with most things. I've been a Minefield then Shiretoko user for a number of years an I think I will stick with it for the foreseeable future.

Thanks. I don't know why it wouldn't just go back there when I tried putting it back? I didn't change anything, so I assumed the new "default" was over on the left. Glad it was a simple solution after all.

How do I make the "Open new tab" button positioned at the end of the tab strip, on the right, next to the last open tab, just as the standard Firefox should be.

My "Open a new tab" button (the +) does not appear at the end of the tab strip, it does not look like it is given in all photos here in the support page. It did not look like this before either. Now I have it at the most left end i.e. before the tabs begin. I can move it to the most right, but it sticks there. I want it to be attached to the last open tab, as it used to be, and as is shown in example Firefox photos.
Could be useful if I sent you a print screen, but I don't see an attachment option here.
Thanks!

I can't find the List All Tabs button that's supposed to be at the top to yourright

I'm trying to install the Tab Groups that you recommended. But I simply can't find the List All Tabs button that was supposed to be at the top right. it just says open all bookmarks. I've read through all the instructions and I can't find the button, so I can't continue. Is there a Tab Groups apps that I need to download first?? I've tried searching for that too, but there seems to be none. Please get back to me :) -Christine

On the tabs toolbar the '''List all tabs drop-down is almost invisible''' especially if you have "Tabs on Top" until you pass the cursor over it -- even with the cursor on top of it it is still hard to see.
The '''List All Tabs button''' is just a drop-drop down arrow when all the tabs bar, if you don't see it -- look in Customize (View>Toolbars>Customize), and drag the "List All Tabs" button up to the right hand end of the tabs bar.
You can put Tabs back to being just above the web page content at the bottom of the toolbars with View > Toolbars > (uncheck) Tabs on Top and the button will show up better on a lighter background.
You can use a Style to make the button more visible with a larger drop-down arrow and a background color.
If you don't already have the "Stylish" Extension (258.0 KB), first install it. The extension is quite large, but the styles you install are very small, most consist of only a few lines of styling code.

How do I get back the 'open new tab' button (+ sign at right end of tabs) in Firefox 4 ?

How do I get back the 'open new tab' button (+ sign at right end of tabs) in Firefox 4 ? I realize there is a 'new tab' button at the right end of the toolbar but I like the new tab function placed next the tabs ?

*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Form+autocomplete
The "Use custom settings for history" setting allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting that setting doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings. 
Firefox shows the "Use custom settings for history" setting as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made. 
If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".

I have 9.0.1 on 2 pc's, both xp sp3. On 1 the 'open new tab' button is visible, on the other, the 'open new tab' button is not even available in the 'customize toolbar' menu for dragging and dropping. Why?

I used the same installation file, but on 1 pc, the 'open new tab' button is available in the 'customize toolbar' menu and can be dragged and dropped onto the navigation bar. On the other pc, the 'open new tab' button/icon is not even available for dragging and dropping. I uninstalled firefox completely, including settings and preferences, then reinstalled, but that did not correct the missing button.

Hi,
Please try '''Restore Default Set''' in the '''Customize...''' window. If it's still not visible, one reason could be that the button is already placed on the toolbar but may be hidden behind another icon or toolbar.

How do I keep my HP1510 All-in-one from printing so many test pages?

How do I keep my HP1510 All-in-one from printing so many test pages? My printer is connected to my laptop, and it seems that every time I disconnect, the printer wants to print an test page when I reboot. I don't know where the option is to turn this off.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

The pages are likely alignment pages. When a new cartrdige is installed the printer will print an alignment page that must be placed on the scanner glass and the Scan button pressed to complete the alignment process. If the alignment is not completed it will repeat when the printer is turned on or perhaps at the end of print jobs.
The alignment page will stop printing when the alignment process has completed. See the page here for information.

How do I keep the same file size, going from tiff to jpg?

Going from tiff to jpg, how do I keep the same file size? Seems like I am not able to save the jpg´s in 16-bits... Thanks!

file size? you mean dimensions or file bytes ?
Jpg is compressed so it won't be the same
Tiff is losless / lossy format to get the better quality
as for 16bit jpg the format doesnt support it

This is happening with iOS 7. It worked with iOS 6.

Please can you put the "Open New Tab" button back where it was on the right hand side of the tabs, or at least give an option to put it there? Thanks.

In the line of tabs along the top of the screen, there used to be an extra tab with a + in it that you clicked to open a new tab, on the right hand end of the tabs. As the tabs always float left and new tabs appear on the right this was (in my opinion) the most logical place for it. However, now the only two places I am able to put this "tab" are at the extreme left, which is illogical seeing as the new tab appears on the right, or in the toolbar along with other tools. This is adequate, but I would prefer to see the "new tab" tab back where it was.
The option to put it on the far right of the tab ribbon was not working until this latest version of Firefox, by the way, but I'm sure you know this!

Thanks. I don't know why it wouldn't just go back there when I tried putting it back? I didn't change anything, so I assumed the new "default" was over on the left. Glad it was a simple solution after all.

I cannot get a new tab to open when clicking the plus sign beside an open tab or clicking the "open new tab" button via right clicking my mouse.

I can no longer get a new tab to open by clicking the new tab button. New tabs do open only when I click on a link in the current tab or by right clicking the home button and opening that specific page.

This issue can be caused by the Ask.com toolbar (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)

Why can't I get the Close Tab (x) button on to the Tab Title (as it is in the Help examples). Mine is almost invisible top right with the List all tabs button next to the Window controls (close minimise)

The close tab button is not with the tab title tab.

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.

How do I remove the "show top sites" button from the favorites bar?

I just updated to Yosemite, and so I have Safari 8.0... which has the "Show Top Sites" button at the extreme left of the favorites bar. Given I loathe that feature, I tried to remove it but unlike everything else in the favorites bar, it won't go away or move.
I hate "Show Top Sites" as it feels like my browser is spying on me. I know it's just taking from what's already in my History but all the same, I don't see why I should have to put up with it given it's my browser and I should get a say in its behavior. New windows open to a blank page but I would at least like the button in the favorites bar removed, but ideally, the entire feature disabled.
I can disable tabs. Why not top sites?.

Hi ..
Unfortunately, there is no way to disable or remove the Top Sites icon from the Bookmarks bar.
