I have Firefox 4.0.1 on Windows xp and the toolbar is overlaying the address bar;also some windows (such as this one) are not displayed correctly.

When I start Firefox and if I close and then reopen it the address bar is fine. But when I go the a new address, the menu bar overlays the address bar. Also a small number of pages, such as this one are overlayed with some garbage which is other parts of the page. This page is overlayed with "Ask a New Question" over and over again. That does not go away with I close and then reopen the page. It is overlaying this box, so i can barely see what I am writing. There are probably many tbold text'''

Ubuntu may have moved those three button as well to that control bar.

Firefox crashes when I paste about:sessionrestore in the address bar.

I was following instructions on a Mozilla page and copied about:sessionrestore to paste into the address bar. FF crashed as soon as I hit enter, so I tried again and it crashed again. What's up with that?

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well. 
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

Firefox either closes suddenly when I click on the address bar after startup or it hangs and also blocks internet explorer from loading

On my Windows XP sp3 system the current the last two releases of Firefox both exhibit the same behavior. When I launch Firefox it will either shutdown within seconds with no crash reporter or other error logged or it will hang completely and indefinitely. When it hangs it also blocks internet explorer 8 from loading. I have tried and followed all the steps in the crashing FAQ including safe mode, uninstalls, re-installs, profile deletes (even the profile dialog closed suddenly). I use Norton Internet Security version 18.6.0.29. A full virus scan does not find any problems. I have disabled all toolbars, plugins and addons and the problem persists. Google Chrome, Internet Explorer and Opera all work fine. Only occasionally does Firefox load and keep running. It's as if it is failing on some check at startup and either crashes or hangs most of the time.

How do you update the song/artist information on songs that you have loaded to the cloud. Some are not displaying correctly on my Iphone.

I have loaded all my music to the cloud from my hard drive. When I am viewing the music on my PC from the cloud it wasn't displaying all of the song/artist information correctly. I took the time to go into each one that wasn't displaying correctly using the "get info" option and I updated them all. Now they are displaying properly on my PC but not on my Iphone. I'm sure it was because of the way they were loaded. My question is how do I update the information for the music that is on the cloud so it will display to my Iphone correctly (and the Ipad I just bought but haven't setup yet?

Pretty sure I just downloaded the .exe files to the SD card (I have a directory called "drivers" there & ran from Windows, no need to boot from anything else. Didn't even need to use Safe Boot. The files do need an .exe extension IE someimes downloads as _exe. No idea why but would just need to rename if download has the underscore and not the period. The you can run them.
Was so easy I really did not think about it. One of the Intel Platform drives does say "requires 1.60 update" so that is the one you need. Do the 1.60, reboot, and then the Intel update.
Key point is the release note on the Intel Platform Installer
"Release Notes
1.Please install the Windows BIOS version 1.60 or higher for Encore WT8-A (PDW09x) before installing this Intel Platform Installer update." note this says "BIOS" and not "USB BIOS" which is a smaller file.

Wordpress sites are not displaying correctly on my mac after mountain lion upgrade (on all browsers - chrome, safari, firefox)

I am having trouble viewing anything that is on wordpress, including the wordpress site. This means I cannot view my own wordpress blog too properly - no images are viewable, only plain text and hyperlinked text. This happened immediately after I upgraded to Mountain Lion. My Mac is mid-2010. Everything else works fine. Thanks.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

I have requested and accepted the most current Firefox program updates with my windows vista system. They are not registering but I am told they are downloaded. Then I cannot get the printer option to work with any version of firefox. in English

I have taken the firefox updates when offered to 4.4. I have the browser as an aside to Internet Explorer 9 as a backup browser. When I use Firefox I am being told my system is not up to date and I need a newer version. I download the version and keep getting told I am not current with firefox. When Firefox DOES work I cannot get any printer icon or settings to enable and allow the printing of a page. I have to use IE9 to get the printer to work. Using eBay I cannot get the uploading of pictures from my computer to consistently operate even though I use small JPG files under 500KB.

There are a lot of IntelliTXT like ''ad'' pop-ups possible.

I have just down loaded the new iTunes and after completion i discovered that all of my imported non-purchased music was missing and my purchased music was now only available from the cloud.
How do i retrieve the old vertsion of iTunes? I also do not want to use the cloud as i prefer hard drive storage, can i retrive my files from the cloud and de-activate / block it from my windows laptop?

It seems that I have erased the address bar and can only access firefox thru google. I am using a mac. How do I get it back?

there is an icon in the upper right corner that closes or opens a portion of the top of the page, and I accidentally clicked it, and the address bar was gone. Now I can not open the home page and type where I want to go.

Perhaps the icon is the Full Screen icon, didn't even know there was one. You can use "F11" to toggle in or out of "Full Screen" mode. In full screen mode the Firefox window fills the entire screen, and toolbars typically do not display at all.
If toolbars are showing but not the navigation bar use
"Alt" then View > Toolbars > make sure Navigation bar is check marked, and you can show your other toolbars as well.
If the Navigation bar is displayed but it lacks the location bar look for it at
"Alt" then View > Toolbars > Customize and drag "Location bar" to the navigation bar.

When I open firefox the address bar remains blank after a website is loaded from favorites.

I open Firefox and the open window is blank (as it should be, because I have set my Preferences to open firefox with a blank window.
Then I select a Bookmarked website from my Bookmarks Toolbar, which opens then opens that website in the window fine.
BUT, the Address Bar remain blank. It does not display the URL of the web page that has been opened from the Bookmark. Why not? Firefox always did this in the past, but this problem has existed since the last few updates, and still does now on the latest v22.0 for MAC.
If I open another blank TAB, then switch back to the first tab, the URL of the first tab does appear. But what a pain. I shouldn't have to open another tab, then switch back to the first tab, just for the URL to appear in the address bar.
I can't believe this problem has existed for so long now over at least 2 or more version upgrades.
Please fix.

I was not able to reproduce your problem using Firefox 22.0 for OS X (running OS X 10.8).
There might be an extension at fault here. You can try and launch Firefox in Safe mode to try and eliminate possible causes.
You can aslo take a look at this page: http://mzl.la/MnSTZB

Firefox update 23.0.1, no longer automatically highlights the address bar content when I open a new tab.

The above. When I opened a new tab in the past, before the new update, firefox would automatically highlight the text in the address bar, and I could simply start typing from there the address of the site I wanted. I could quickly get to anywhere I wanted in less than a second. Now, I have to drag and click into the address bar every time. I installed an add-on called "custom newtab" but it just slows me down further due to a lag between the opening of a new tab, and the add-on kicking in and highlighting the address bar content.
What happens is this:
Click "new tab"
New tab opens blank and the text appears highlighted "google.co.uk" for about a quarter second.
Page loads Google and the highlighted text becomes unhighlighted for another quarter second.
Add-on kicks in and highlights the text "google.co.uk" meanwhile I've already begun typing and end up losing the first part of the words, sending me to random web pages and searches.
Why did this change?! Fix it please!

YES!! Thank you jscher2000! You sir are a legend. Thanks for this, changed the newtaburl in about:config, totally worked. Nope, never saw it happening! Speedy machine this one :P Yep, that change completely sorted the issue, just opened about 741 new tabs through the shortcut on my mouse just to celebrate. Thanks guys who helped, no thanks those who didn't.

Google fonts not displaying correctly since updating to Firefox 31.0

Since updating to Firefox 31.0, the vast majority of Google / web fonts are not displaying correctly, including icons that are being replaced with random characters. When I view the Google web fonts page, only a few display correctly, the rest just default to a sans-serif font.
- I've tried running in safe mode with no add-ons enabled.
- I've tried disabling all add-ons then re-enabling one by one.
- I've checked the tickbox in the font settings for 'Allow pages to use their own fonts' is ticked
Any help appreciated, it's got quite frustrating now.
Thanks, Greg

You can do a font test to see if you can identify corrupted font(s).
*http://browserspy.dk/fonts-flash.php?detail=1
You can try different default fonts and temporarily disable website fonts to test the selected default font.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced
*[ ] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
You can check for problems with preferences.
You can check the gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled pref on the about:config page and make sure that it is set to true (if necessary double-click the line to toggle its value).
Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_preferences
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
