How do I stop the alt button from showing the menu bar?

I use ALT as my push to talk button on multiple voip programs. When in firefox 6, pressing ALT makes the menu bar show up and disappear. I'd prefer to find a way to remove this shortcut from firefox. Changing the shorcut for push to talk on all of my voip programs and breaking a habit would be less desirable.

"Alt", I believe, is at the system level, utilized by other browsers and other applications for same purpose. Your VOIP might give you an option of Alt-Gr (Alt on right-hand side) or a choice of any other key. Right now either Alt key works in Firefox.

How do I stop the menu from showing up when I hover to the top of a full screen app?

I am running Parallels in full-screen on Lion and when I move the cursor towards the top of the full screen app the menu pops up. How do I stop the menu from popping up? I keep hitting an icon on the menu bar that pulls it out of full screen mode and it's getting very annoying. Thanks.

Use VMware Fusion? But seriously, Fusion does what you want. It just puts a mini VM control menu at the top when running full screen (and that's configurable, too), so the main menu bar doesn't appear at all. Which means that it's up to Parallels to handle this. Are you running Parallels 7, which is designed for Lion? If you are and Parallels still doesn't offer something similar, you need to contact Parallels.

If you're running Lion, press the escape (esc) key to exit full-screen mode. Otherwise, provide more details, including the Mac OS version and the application you're have trouble with. A screenshot would help.

How can I get the menu bar?pressing Alt button does not show it, right clicking in a space in the tab does not show customize button.

I read the information on the help pages,but I can t get the menu bar to appear using the advice given.

Right click the Home button.

My menu bar disappeared (maybe I pressed a wrong button before). In other words: I cannot select File, Bookmarks, options, Help etc. How can I reactivate the menu bar?

My Firefox looks like this at the top now:
Line 1: Icons for page backward, forward, refresh, stop, homepage and then the entry filed for Urls. This was line 2 before, I had the Browser menu as line one and cannot reactivate it.
Line 2: Pdfforge ( aplugin for Firefox)
Below is only the browsing area

Firefox 3.6+ versions have a feature to allow the user to hide the Menu bar.
Hit the '''Alt''' key to temporarily show the Menu bar, then open View > Toolbars and select Menu bar, so it has a check-mark. <br />
The F10 can also be used on most PC's to temporarily reveal the Menu bar.

Stop the menu bars

I want to put an HTML element on a full page 1024x768, and would like readers to use the content interactively by clicking on links. However, when clicking on the HTML links, the app´s menu bars pop up. Obviously, it doesn´t recognize that the web frame is an interactive area. Is there a way to prevent the menu bars from opening? (As for now, I have ony tested it in the Content Viewer, but will eventually be using the Adobe app that supports the Woodwing plugins as well.)

This is a known problem and Adobe could not solve this. when you tap on
HTML, the viewer always appears. That should only when not clicking on
interactive HTML elements — but how to determine? is clear, but a
can be a button in html, too.
So I understand the problem of the programm team to implement a solution on
this.

How can I get the Menu Bar in P/S Ele. 9 to show in the organizer?

The Menu bar IS in Edit. Problem occured when I updated from XP to new computer w/ Windows 7. There is a small rectangle where the menu bar usually is. I can click on it and the menu bar opens vertically. The rectangle can not be seen unless you stand up to locate it.

The glitches and workarounds include:
-          The Organizer’s menu bar (File, Edit, etc.) won’t show up. You can either set the Windows text size back to 100% (96 DPI), or you can set the Organizer option Edit > Preferences > General > Use System Font. With the latter, the results aren’t always the prettiest, e.g. the font in the Editor’s menu bar stays small, but the font in the dropdown menus gets large. But this workaround at least lets you keep the text size large so that you can read the text in all your other applications.
-          The Advanced Dialog in the Photo Downloader won’t be available in PSE 8. (That also occurs on short displays.) You’ll need to reduce the Windows text size to something less – how much depends on the resolution of your display.
-          The Editor on Windows 7 can show a mouse cursor for some tools that looks like three distorted shadows of the true cursor. You’ll need to reduce the Windows text size to less than 150% (149% works fine).
To change the Windows text size/DPI of your display:
XP: Start > Control Panel > Display or Start > Settings > Control Panel > Display.   Click Settings > Advanced.
Vista: Windows Start > Control Panel > Personalization > Adjust Font Size (DPI).
Windows 7: Start > Control Panel > Display. To choose a custom size, click Set Custom Text Size (DPI) on the left.

How can I remove "Hello World!" from my browser menu bar

I just noticed there'e something in my brower menu bar that has never been there before. Next to the other menu options (File, Edit, View, History, etc.) appears the words"Hello World!". I know it wasn't there two weeks ago, and it's highly unlikely I would have missed seeing it a few days ago when I last did extensive browsing. In hopes of fixing the problem myself, I deleted the only two FF add-ons installed to my PC in the past month. I also ran a system restore to a point created 35 days ago. But "Hello World!" still remained in the menu bar. When I try clicking it on, nothing happens. I tried removing it by pressing the "Customize"option in the toolbar, but it "Hello World!" would not drag down from the menu bar. I was still running FF version 22.0., and when I saw that an update to FF 23.0 was available, I ran the update, but this did nothing the fix my issue (I'm currently back to FF22.0, due to the System Restore that I ran earlier). Finally, I went to both my "Program Files" folders, and sorted them using "Date Modified", to identify any programs changed or added in the past several weeks. There were only a few programs changed in this timespan, so I scoured all files within those few folders, but nothing stood out as unusual. CAn anyone tell me what this "Hello World!" is or why it is appearing in my menu bar? Most importantly, would anyone know how I can remove it permanently ? Following Firefox's instructions, I've created a Print Screen photo showing my brower toolbars, including the menu bar ( at the very top just above my address bar), so that you can see where "Hello World!" appears. Not sure yet how to attach the PrtScn photo to this question I'm about to submit, so if it doesn't make it to the forum with my question, I can send it to anyone who emails me a reply.
Thank You.

THis is a reply to my own question, so that I can upload the Print Screen image of my browser toolbar. Look for "Hello World!" at the top, just above my address bar. Thanks again to anyone who can help me remove this from my menu bar.

How do I hide the menu bar on Safari when watching videos on full screen mode?

Hey guys,
I have a mid 2010 macbook pro (Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.8) which I have recently restored from time machine after installing a new hard drive.
However, now when I watch flash videos on putlocker or hulu etc the menu bar on safari on the top left of the screen and the icons on the top right (airport, battery, date/time etc) does not disappear as it used to.
When I am on youtube I have a similar problem but this time the video only occupies the window so tabs (and everything above) in safari and my dock still appear. I know this may be a youtube related query, but if anyone knows how to change this I would appreciate any guidance.
This is my first post so sorry if this in the wrong forum (feel free to move it) or if my description is unclear, I can provide further information if needed.
Many thanks!
Tom

You're welcome and only on my first cup of coffee

How can i see the MENU bar. Help says "Right-click on an empty section of the Tab Strip. What is a Tab Strip?

My friend just bought a Windows 8 laptop so I told her to download the latest version of FireFox. Unfortunately, some idiot removed the Menu Bar which most people love. You can see all of your options in plain English. Anyway, I referred her to help and cannot believe it's so hard to get a simple answer to this question. Why does FireFox make it so difficult to get an old fashioned menu bar?
Help says, "Right-click on an empty section of the Tab Strip and check Menu Bar". OK, what is a "TAB STRIP" and where does she find it? Who writes these silly, useless help tips?

Grad, you made some good points but we still disagree. I'll acknowledge that maybe millions was a slight exaggeration but nobody has an accurate count. However, I do understand the difference between making something simple and obvious versus a programmer trying to prove how clever he or she is.
Grad, I'm guessing you and your friends are much younger than us as we are well above the age of 50.
As for the number of clicks, I'm confused by your comment. My Menu Bar is always visible so I have to merely '''click once on Bookmarks''' to get to those menu options. It sounds as if you have to initially click on the orange FireFox button in order to see the Menu Bar, and then click a 2nd time on Bookmarks. That sounds like 2 clicks of the mouse to me.
I have Windows 7 and never saw Windows 8 so I can't comment on your excellent question. I personally had the '''Menu Bar displaying 100% of the time''' for as long as I could remember. I just couldn't remember how I initially turned it on several years ago and the help file proved to be more confusing than helpful.

How do you enlarge the menu bar type on Macbook pro?

How do you enlarge the type in the menu bar on the macbookpro

Couple comments concerning this:
You cannot make it larger.
On My MacBook Pro it has a high resolution screen. 1152 x 720 resolution is not listed. if you think your type in the menu bar is small, you should see mine!
I personally would never recommend anyone orders on with Hi-Res.
No matter what resolution I use other than 1680 x 1050 ( max listed for my Notebook) the sharpness is not acceptable to me.
Wrote to apple concerning the menu display along with numerous others and have been totally ignored.

Hi Norm,
1. I've been researching, and, with a few exceptions which are not acceptable to me, I believe you are correct.
4. I really have no choice, I have to reduce the res to see text.
5. Apple does not reply to feedback, so don't feel ignored. I've also sent feedback and emailed Jobs, and maybe, someday, after enough of us do that, this will get "fixed." Meanwhile, I'm also often at 1152x720.
