I do not have the Firefox button at the top of my screen.

I do not have the Firefox button at the top of my screen, so cannot use any of the functions it controls. I do have the round Firefox symbol, but when I either right-click or left-click it, I get only the menu for mazimizing, minimizing or closing the application. I cannot find any information on the Mozuilla website about how to fix this problem, and would appreciate any advice I can get. My operating system is Windows 7 Professional. Thanks.

You probably have your Menu Bar activated. I think you can use one or the other. To activate your Orange Firefox favicon, right-click at the top blank portion of the browser (next to your tabs) and uncheck the Menu Bar option. Hope this helps.

I am trying to load Firefox Sync but I do not have a Firefox button at the top of my page. How do I get to options?

I want to load current bookmarks to a new computer and then have those bookmarks available on multiple computers. I've read the tutorial on Firefox Sync, but I do not see a Firefox button on my page. How do I get to options?

Never mind. Found it. I did not have my menu toolbar clicked when I installed the new version.

Running WindowsXP Home.

The new interface is only default on Windows Vista and Windows 7. To get it on Windows XP you need to hide the menu bar. To do that in the View menu select Toolbars, then click on the "Menu Bar" entry.
If you need access to the menus you can press either Alt or F10 to temporarily display them.

I have no "Firefox" button at the top of my screen. ???

Ever since I downloaded the new Firefox, I have been frustrated. Now I discover that the reason I can't find my bookmarks is because they are "hidden." Unfortunately, in order to resolve this, I need to begin by clicking on the "Firefox" button at the top of the page. From what I can tell, this is an orange button which should be located at the top, left corner of the screen. I don't have one.
I have re-downloaded the program - nothing; and I am using Windows 7.
Please help.

If you customized your toolbars in an earlier version, the installer might have left you with the classic menu bar rather than the new abbreviated menus.
To switch, use View menu > Toolbars > Menu Bar
Once you have the orange Firefox button, you can tap the Alt key or press F10 to display the classic menu bar temporarily.

When I open FF there is no text displaying(menus, content, etc.), and most of the window is blacked out. For example... I can see the the firefox button on the top left corner, when I go to it the drop down list drops and there is no text, if I move down the drop down I hit where there is a slide out in that drop down and no text is there. So, to start in safe mode you need to go to the firefox button, and click on start in safe mode. I can't See safe mode or click on anything were safe mode should be.

hello, close all firefox windows & hold the shift-key while opening firefox in order to launch it in safemode. in the first dialog just choose "continue in safemode" and go to firefox > options > advanced > general. in there disable hardware acceleration, restart firefox normally again and see if this has changed anything.

Just downloaded firefox 4.0, and the firefox button at the top of the page has completely disappeared - how do I get it back?!

I clicked on the "Firefox" button at the top and then clicked on fullscreen and the Firefox button disappeared - can't figure out how to get out of fullscreen. Tried "alt" already. Thanks!

Thanks for the response. I figured out the answer - it is to click on the resize button at the top right!
Holding the mouse pointer at the top edge brings back the tabs, I find escape doesn't do anything when in fullscreen.
Cheers, Mike

I do not have the Firefox button in the top left hand corner as shown in the welcome video. This button seems paramount to carry out many of the features. How do I get it?

In the welcome video there is an orange Firefox button in the top left hand corner - I do not have one. This button appears to be central to the use of Firefox.

The Firefox Button acts as an alternative to the regular menubar (File, Edit, View etc.), so if you can see the menu bar you're not missing any functionality.
On Windows XP the default is for the menubar to be shown instead of the Firefox button, but you can switch between the button and the menubar via the View -> Toolbars -> Menu bar option.
With the Button enabled, you can access the regular menubar by pressing the Alt key.

hello, please go to ''firefox/tools > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

How can I start Private Browsing when I do not have a "Firefox button" to click?

"Open a new, blank Private Window
At the top of the Firefox window, click the Firefox button and select New Private Window. A new Private Window will open.
That is what it says! But where is this Firefox button at the top of my Firefox (v 20.0.1) window? What I have at the top of the window is:
(1) A blue-background bar with the Firefox icon and the title of the current page
(2) 2 grey-background bars with menus (e.g. File, Edit, ...) and buttons
(3) 1 grey-background bar with the Bookmark Toolbar
(4) The Tab bar
But no Firefox button, and none available in the customise dialog. Have I suppressed it somehow?

hello, the private browsing window is accessible through the file menu that you've referenced too - or you can use the keyboard shortcut ctrl+shift+p.
if you want to get the default userinterface with the firefox button though, go to view > toolbars & disable the menu bar...

You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden (View > Toolbars > Customize or right-click a toolbar).
You can hide or make the Menu bar visible via View > Toolbars, also accessible via Firefox > Options.
If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or tap the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily.

Can you tell me where the Firefox button at the top of the Firefox window is?

The firefox button and the panorama view button are both missing in FF4 RC1

I updated to FF4 RC1 two days ago and noticed that the panorama view button was missing and the firefox button, which is supposed to replace the File, Edit, View etc. menus had not done so. So basically, I'm still stuck with the FF3 style menu buttons.

The Firefox button is default on Windows Vista and 7, but not on XP. The best explanation I can find was on one of the bug reports.
"In terms of external consistency, nearly every app on XP uses a traditional menu bar (windows explorer, etc.) While some users will prefer to switch to the Firefox button, I think we should stick to the native interactive style for each platform to reduce overall confusion and allow for an easy transition to the new version."
There were a few reasons for not displaying the panorama button by default. It can be confusing to those who have never seen it before if they click on the button, and there are some issues concerning memory usage that have still to be sorted out.

My firefox opens without the firefox button in the upper left

I have the edition 9.0.1 installed on Windows XP home edition, but it opens without the Firefox button appearing in the rectangular box at the upper left of the screen. It does show File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools and Help.<br /> Should I have the Firefox button? Do I even need it?<br />
Thank you.<br />

I do not have the firefox button at the top of the page. What do I do?

When I go on the internet, at the top of the page there is not an orange button that says firefox. What do I do to get the button at the top?

You seem to be in Full Screen Mode. Click "Exit Full Screen Mode" or use the F11 key on your keyboard to toggle Full Screen Mode on and off.
