How to fix firefox bookmarks from leaving an image on the task bar in Windows 7?

With firefox ESR ver. 17.0.6 and Windows 7 Professional, after displaying bookmarks, if the bookmark list is long so that it goes over (covers) part of the taskbar, a ghost image of those bookmarks are left on the taskbar. How do I keep that from happening?

hello, maybe that's an issue with hardware acceleration - please try [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL|updating your graphics driver]], or in case this doesn't solve the issue or there is no new version available at the moment, disable hardware acceleration in ''firefox > options > advanced > general''.

  • Firefox version 7.0.0.4282 overlays the task bars on windows 2000, makes them unreadable.

    The "File Edit View Favorites Tools Help" taskbar overlays the other taskbars. I can't find the Address taskbar. Most of the info at the top of the page is garbled because info is displayed on top of other info. This problem seems to be related to the tabs, can I only display the current one?

    Ok this did not resolve the issue, I downloaded the Places Maintenance Add on and ran it with all of the options selected, I also verified that this is not a permissions issue and ran chkdsk on the disk.
    I am unable to make a backup of the bookmarks it just hangs and never makes the backup, I can't even export them either.
    I went to the next step and renamed the places.sqlite file and restarted firefox which did restore my bookmarks from a previous backup but I still can't click on the bookmark menu option without firefox locking up .
    How do I resolve this and how do I get my data back in to Sync?
    If this file is corrupted does that mean that all of my linked browsers downloaded the same corrupt file from Sync? How do I resolve that, is there anyway to recover my history from any of my other PCs?
    All that I did was when I was logged out of sync but want to know how I go about getting the info back in to Sync.

  • Firefox has spontaneously decided not to show the task bar at the bottom of the screen, and some menu bars have been messed up. How can I fix this?

    My Firefox has spontaneously (apparently) decided not to show the task bar at the bottom of the screen (the margin is there, but it is blank), and some menu bars have been messed up. Perhaps the most annoying aspect of these changes is the fact that I have to use alt-tab to move from a Firefox session to another session.
    I can find no way to fix these problems. Can you help? Am I going to have to uninstall and re-install Firefox in order to get back to the default settings? If so, is there any way to preserve my bookmarks?

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).<br />
    If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.<br />
    You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.

  • How can I copy bookmarks from another PC without using the resotre not to loose the ones on the curtrent PC

    I want to copy bookmarks from another PC not using the restore function inorder not to delete bookmarks on current PC

    Export them to an HTML file, then import the HTML file to the other computer, that will add the bookmarks to those that already exist.

  • I have Firefox pinned to the Task bar in Windows 7. After upgrading to Firefox 9 when I open firefox I get an extra firefox icon in my task bar while having firefox open. It used to show as being open on the icon that is pinned to the task bar.

    * Installed Firefox 9
    * I am running Windows 7 64-bit
    * I have Firefox pinned to the task bar.
    * When Firefox opens, there is a new icon that opens up on the task bar. Normally, Firefox would open within the icon that is pinned to the task bar.
    * When I close Firefox, the extra icon goes away.
    * Firefox is acting like the icon that is pinned to the task bar is not even there.

    Before attempting the steps below, I would highly suggest you visit the latest known issues for the current version, specifically FF 9 release notes.
    See:
    [[Latest Firefox issues]]
    1. Unpin the old firefox icon
    2. Go to c:\Program File (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\
    3. Double click on "firefox.exe" (FF window & icon will appear in supertaskbar)
    4. Pin this new icon by right clicking > Pin to Taskbar (Firefox Icon turns into whitebox)
    5. Make sure that you see the hidden folders
    [[windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Show-hidden-files]]
    6. Go to C:\Users\%yourusername%\AppData\Local
    7. Delete "IconCache.db"
    8. Open the taskmanager
    9. Kill explorer.exe by clicking on End Process
    10. In the taskmanager, File -> New Task (Run...) --> write "explorer.exe" without the quotation mark, press ok

  • How can I get bookmarks from my laptop now that the motherboard is dead?

    Laptop motherboard died - a friend transferred my files onto an external hard drive including my backed-up Firefox bookmarks, but (sadly) the last time I backed those up was 6 months ago. At least I have those on my new laptop now, but I'd *love* to get my most current bookmarks back - the ones I had on my laptop when the motherboard died. Is this possible, or are they gone forever? Thanks!

    You will need to be able to access the files on the old hard drive, so hopefully your friend put that drive in a USB enclosure so you can still access the files on that old drive.

  • How do I load Leopard from a disc image of the install DVD?

    Hi. I've made a disc image of my Leopard install DVD using Disk Utility and have saved it to a partitioned external HDD. On another partition on the same drive is a bootable SuperDuper backup of my machine.
    How do you get the machine to boot from the DVD disc image? The disc image mounts, but when I click re-start it simply restarts from the current startup disk and I can not work out how to get it to restart from the disc image in the same way it would from the disc itself.
    thanks
    Simon

    Fair enough question Kurt. I'm just thinking ahead to deal with a possible crisis as sometimes I work in fairly remote areas of Asia. My current superdrive will no longer burn disks but is still managing to read them, but if this facility too fails when I'm in the middle of nowhere and it also becomes necessary to be able reinstall the OS it would be very handy to have it on a drive. I'm also keen to carry as little kit as possible so getting a working disk image onto the external HDD that I carry would also remove the need to lug the install disks with me everywhere too. I suppose I could carry an additional external optical drive for this contingency but much easier if its possible from a drive.
    So there is method in my madness, at least I think so! Trouble is I'm having no success in making it work thus far.

    Hello MrNeuf,
    I would recommend releasing and renewing the IP lease on the affected computer. The following article provides further information and details the process of doing so.

  • How do I prevent windows from being stacked up in the task bar?

    This happens even if there is enough room for all of them, and makes it harder to switch back and forth between windows.

    You should be able to set this via the properties of the Windows Task bar via the right-click context menu.

    Do you mean the Status bar?
    The Status Bar has been replaced by the Add-ons bar that extensions can use for icons and information.
    You can use this extension to get the Status Bar back:

    Which Firefox version did you previously had?<br />
    Firefox should still use the same profile with all personal data.
    Is other personal data missing?
    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • I am trying to import Firefox bookmarks from a Windows machine into Firefox on an Apple. I do not want to use Safari. How do I do this?

    am trying to import Firefox bookmarks from a Windows machine into Firefox on an Apple. I do not want to use Safari. How do I do this?
    I have, on my HP laptop, running XP Pro, using Firefox 4.0, went under bookmarks to show all bookmarks. A window opens up that says library. I then go to import and back up, and I choose export HTML. I then move this file over to my new Mac Pro. On my Mac Pro I also have Firefox 4.0. I go up under bookmarks, show all bookmarks, import HTML. It lets me browse and I find the file on the desktop, I select it then nothing happens. I am not interested in using Safari. I would like to continue using Firefox. However, as an experiment, I followed the same process except on my Apple computer I opened up Safari and tried to import in the Firefox bookmarks. It came up with an error saying the file could not be accessed. I then thought perhaps the file got corrupted, so I went back to my Windows Firefox and re-exported the bookmarks again. Same problem. So, am I creating the bookmarks incorrectly on my Windows machine?
    Thanks,
    Kent

    Probably your Mac cannot understand the Windows html format, please try the following to see if it helps:
    In your PC, export the bookmarks in html as you did in your post. After you have saved it, change the name of the file to “bookmarks.html” and save it again.
    In your Mac, import the saved file as you posted.

    Import and Backup is the third (last) button on the toolbar in the Bookmarks Manager (Library) that looks like a star.<br />
    Other platforms show the text label, but on Mac you only see toolbar icons.
