I cannot access options privacy tab

In Tools - Options - Privacy....I cannot access the Privacy tab. I can open all the other Options tabs..just not Privacy.
Am I being hacked/tracked? thanks.

Try the Firefox SafeMode. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
# You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
# Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

I cannot access my "Privacy" tab in the Tools menu to disable cookies - help

I cannot access this....please help.

* [[Options window - Privacy panel]]
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.

Firefox 4 does not show the current browsing history, and I cannot acess my privacy tab in the options

My browsing history is incomplete, it only shows through August. I also cannot access the privacy tab in the options folder, nor can I click on the stop private browsing.

Maybe your Trend Micro took over the Privacy tab in Options?
Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there.

I cannot access the settings tab in the management console

I am in the management console for my verizon d-link router and i cannot access the settings tab..
i got to the router/verizon management console via the default gateway ip address and used the default password which worked and then tried to access settings which im assuming is the same default password.. however when i try to use the default password on the settings tab when im prompted it says that it is wrong.
is there some different password for the settings tab?

Have you tried to go here and select your Gateway, then follow the trouble shooting tips. Most gateways/routers default passwords at one point were changed to the serial number for security reasons. If that does not work, you may try resetting the gateway/router to get back to the default. Never leave your gateway/router with the default passwords. If you get into the gateway/router a Verizon firmware upgrade if it is a Verizon model, may even change the default password to the serial number so it is not the standard D-Link that is used with all their gateways.

Saving Location Bar Suggestion Prefs - Options/Privacy Tab

I am having an issue with the Firefox --> Options --> Privacy Tab --> Location Bar --> When using suggest (x) command sequence. Namely, that it doesn't save my options.
It seems to default to suggesting from Bookmarks, even though I continually tell it to simply suggest "nothing." During a FF session, I can tell it "nothing" and it functions correctly. But if I exit/restart, it resets to "bookmarks."
I have been through all of [[Knowledge Base Article|https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Preferences%20are%20not%20saved?s=privacy+tab&r=6&as=s]] and none of it works (or seems to apply in the first place). The only option that I have left to attempt is the final piece of that post, destroying the entire prefs file and starting from scratch. Obviously, I'd prefer to avoid that if at all possible.
I have tested it with other prefs, such as "remember my browsing history" and it saves/unsaves exactly as it should, which points to it being a Location Bar suggestion issue alone.
Any suggestions? Thank you.

Well, in the end what I had to do was an amalgamation of things. No 3rd party software, no extra prefs files, file was uncorrupted. I had to completely tear out the user.js file, restart Firefox, exit without changing anything, go into the prefs.js file and just completely remove the urlbar preference line (rather than editing it false/2/3 etc., which didn't work). Then restart Firefox again, make the change to the Location Bar in in Options-->Privacy, exit. Restart... and then it was fixed.
I'm sure this was the roundabout way to do it, but I certainly won't frown at success!
Hopefully it won't come back in the future. So, despite the fact that I still had to do a bunch of running around, I appreciate the various links, they gave me the ideas on what to do.

ID CS3 – cannot access "find" or "tab" dialog boxes. I've restarted, uploaded recent upgrade, and "repaired permissions" in Disk Utility. Will re-installing from original disks correct this problem? The disks are 3.0 version. I currently have 5.0.4 available at Adobe.

I cannot access the PRIVACY menu from the Tools-Options menu to make changes to cookies and history. I can access every other menu on that page (General, Tabs, Content, Applications, Security, and Advanced. But Not PRIVACY. Please help.

I need to reset/change/clear my cookies, probably clear my cache, and change my history preferences. When I use the Tools-Options choice to bring up the appropriate menu (General, Tabs, Content, Applications, Privacy, Security,and Advanced) all allow me access to make changes (or not), the PRIVACY tab does not open up. It does no allow access to any info contained there in. It is like it doesn't exist or isn't even there. Also, in the Tools menu on the Firefox toolbar, both "Stop Private Browsing" and "Clear Recent History" are grayed out. What gives? Thank you for your help.

This can be caused by in incompatible/malfunctioning add-on. To test if this is the case follow the procedure in the [[troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article.

Telstra app/ cannot access my account tabs

Cannot access my account details/ recharge...etc. Need resolved please

Hi cruiserfier, I can appreciate the concern - are you able to view all of your service details via the My Account portal at https://www.my.telstra.com.au/myaccount/home or is it only missing from the app?

I cannot access the "General" tab in Options.

I recently received a browser highjack due to a sketchy program recommended by a friend. (Last time I listen to them.)
I uninstalled the program but and restored my search engine, homepage, newtab page, and all that. (Some through the options, some through about:config)
I uninstalled the program, removed all traces I could find through the registry. I even ran a anti-malware program.
However, when I go into the Options menu in Firefox, my "General" tab does not load at all. All of the other work fine, but this one does not. I assume this was a thing the malware did to avoid me changing my preferences, but since I changed them all already through other means, I am mostly annoyed. (At least I think I changed everything back. I ''would'' check, but... y'know.)
So is there any way to abilitate this option? Or will I be forced to always wonder if I got everything back to normal?

I was suffering the same problem and found that disabling Ghostery corrected the problem. I cannot really see myself surfing the web without Ghostery though, so instead I went to Add-ons/Appearance to see if I was using a theme which maybe was contributing. I was still using theme FF came with (Default) and decided to try installing a theme to see if it would correct the problem and lo and behold it did. The theme I went with was Lava Fox V2.
I then tried going back to the default theme and the problem re-appeared. So back to Lava Fox for me then. The previous answers helped by pointing me in the right direction so thanks to all.

Cannot access security & privacy

hey all
please can you help me with this 'all of a sudden" problem that i have encountered that is driving me absolutely insane.
i am trying to access the security and privacy setting under the system preferences tab but when i click on the icon a message pops up saying :
"You can’t open Security & Privacy preferences because it doesn’t work on an Intel-based Mac."
i have no idea where this came from!!
Is it because I have updated to the latest version of OSx mountain Lion??

Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Triple-click the line below to select it, then drag or copy the text — do not type it — into the Terminal window and press return:
file -b /System/Library/PreferencePanes/Security.prefPane/Contents/MacOS/Security
Post any lines of output that appear below what you entered — the text, please, not a screenshot.

I cannot access options for photos in iCloud control panel

I am trying to access photo stream on my Win7 PC, but cannot. When I go to the iCloud Windows control panel, photos are checked, but when I hit the options button, nothing happens.
It looks like iCloud photo stream is working on my iPhone and iPad.
