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.

I do not have a Firefox Button. Which I need to access options to solve a problem.

I want to solve a problem with my bookmarks. The suggestion said to click the Firefox button at the top of the page. I do not have a Firefox button.
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.

The firefox button used to be on the left, with tabs lined up beside it reaching the top of the screen. Now the firefox button is on its own, with tabs on the row below it. This wastes a lot of space at the top of my screen, can I put it back how it was?

Previously, the firefox button was at the top left and tabs lined up beside it, so that the top of the tabs reached right to the top of the screen. Close/minimise etc. were at top right.
Two days ago, it switched so that the firefox button is at top left, close/minimise etc. are still at top left, but now the tabs are on a row below, leaving a gap at the top where I can see through to the desktop. There is also a larger border than before round the whole firefox browser window, more wasted space.
I have the windows 7 quick links bar at the top of my desktop, now that firefox has left a gap above the tabs it means it is easier to accidentally hover over the bar when changing tabs, this is annoying as it brings it to the front and disrupts the ability to change tabs quickly.

-> Tap '''ALT''' key or press '''F10''' to show the Menu Bar
-> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> select/unselect '''Taps on Top'''
Check and tell if its working.

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...

The firefox button is no longer on the top of the page and i can'd find it

You are either in Full Screen mode - press F11, or
Showing the Menu Bar(File, Edit etc) - right click on toolbar space and uncheck Menu Bar.

I do not have a firefox button so I can't get the securety information I need how can I get it ?

on your information page it shows a firefox button in the left hand upper corner I don't have that button.

Firefox only shows the Firefox menu button if the menu bar is hidden.
See:

You would normally have the click the icon on the left hand side of the location bar to see security information in case a secure HTTPS connection is used.

I just loaded Firefox 4 but I do not have a Firefox Button

I have downloaded the new version but there is no Firefox Button.
I have the File, Edit, View, History etc options and saw something that suggested this might be compatible with Windows XP. I am running Windows 7

To get the new style interface 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.

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.

Where is the "Firefox Button" that is referenced on the support pages?

Support site refers to a "Firefox Button". I don't see it. Am I missing something obvious?

How do I install a foxit button on my tool bar? I recently upgraded to the latest version, but my tool bar does not contain a firefox button which is need for certain tasks, such as private browsing.

I had an existing laters 3 point whatever version of Firefox and recently upgraded to Firefox 10. This new version still has the old toolbar across the top, but there is no "Firefox button" which one has to use to activate certain action such as "private browsing." Is there anyway I can install the button on the toolbar, or is there a way to change to the new version 10 interface which includes the Firefox Button. I would prefer the former (the old configuration with the tool bar on top, but if that cannot be done, how to I migrate to the new configuration which apparently puts the tools on the side, if I'm not mistaken.
Thanks for any help you can provide. I have Windows XP.

If you have the old fashioned toolbar, you can still go into Private browsing by clicking Tools, then "Start Private Browsing". All the options that are in the Firefox button are in the old style toolbar, just maybe a little more hidden.
To enable te Firefox button, go into View, then Toolbars, then uncheck "Menu Bar". You should have the Firefox button.

at least that the operator has confirmed to me that he called me. I also have problems with either the start of the mac with the power off. I can not understand if it crashes or is just very very slow.
Finally, I have a problem with the external hard disck. I often said to have been ejected incorrectly (not true) and I start to restore the startup recovery disk because disk utility is ineffective from the normal operating system .. is a shocking thing, but how you reduced. in four years it had never happened. seem to have windows or worse. Wake up.
I am an Italian, alas, and then I would like an answer to my language because my € are the same as German French or English.

You are on Windows 2000, you do not have a "Firefox" button, and should consider yourself to be fortunate in that you still have menus and don't have to do anything to get the menus back instead of the "Firefox" button. (The same applies to Windows XP users).
Use the "File" menu to get to Import. You are not on Windows 7 or Vista, and don't have to put up with the nonsense added for Aero.
If you want the "Firefox" button you can get it with View -> toolbars -> (uncheck) Menu Bar. The menu bar and the "Firefox" button were supposed to be mutually exclusive (which is impossible in some cases without being incompatible).
Once you are using the "Firefox" button ...
Use the "Alt" key to view the menu bar (temporarily) containing File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. On Windows 7 and Vista, the menu bar was hidden by default in Firefox 4 and above. These menu items are more or less available under the "Firefox" button which has the most used of the built-in Firefox menu items available in a different format.
To get back to having menus again. "Firefox" button -> Options (second column) -> (check) Menu Bar
You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)].

How do I change the color of the Firefox button?

I find the solid orange of the Firefox Button a constant distraction in the corner of my eye. I'd like to change the color of the button--if it were the same color as the the tabs, that would be perfect. I like the general layout of Firefox 4, but that solid orange is very annoying to me.

It is not straight forward but can be done. You can do this by adding code/scripts to a file called [http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css userChrome.css] to change the appearance of the button. The Stylish add-on makes it easier to make the changes, the latest version of Stylish is available from http://forum.userstyles.org/discussion/24534/stylish-for-firefox-1.1b4
For some samples of scripts you can add to Stylish to change the appearance of the button see http://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/921416-share-your-custom-firefoxminefield-4-stylish-scripts/
There are also many scripts available at http://userstyles.org/
Note that some scripts will no longer work as they would have been written for earlier beta versions of Firefox.

Why can't I found the Firefox Button?

In this article ([http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/beta/features/#feature-firefox-bottom firefox 4 beta features]), it is stated that there is a "Firefox Button" at the top left corner, but I can't find it ! I only find usual Firefox icon with this page's title.
My computer is running on Windows Vista Service Pack 2. I install Firefox 4 beta 4 without uninstalling Firefox 3.

The Firefox button will be displayed if the menu bar is hidden. In the main menus select "View", then "Toolbars" to display a list of toolbars, then click on "Menu Bar" to hide the menu bar.

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.
