I have installed Firefox 4 but my tabs are NOT on top.

I have installed Firefox 5 on my PC laptop running Windows 7.
My tabs remain where they were, below the address bar.
I also tried to change the width of the tabs. I installed Custom Tab Width but cannot make it work. I can find nothing to click on that will give me the menu of choices.
Are these related problems? Two unrelated problems?
I would appreciate help on both

It that extension doesn't work then you may have another extension or theme interfering and in that case you may have to use CSS code in userChrome.css to make it work.

    I have just downloaded and installed firefox, but when I click on the icon nothing happens.

    In case you haven't solved this by now...
    Sometimes your security software will block new programs from accessing the internet. Are you getting any alerts along those lines?
    Sometimes Firefox will stall during startup and never display its window. In that case, you may need to manually "kill" the firefox.exe process using the Windows Task Manager before trying to start Firefox again.
    You can display the Task Manager by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Esc. Windows 8.1 has a different display than Windows 7, so I have to go by memory. If you see a tab named Applications, check that one first. Then check Processes, and finally check Details. If you find Firefox or firefox.exe on any of those tabs, select it and End Process (or other action to shut it down).
    After you are done with the Task Manager, try starting Firefox up again.

  • I have installed Firefox but I keep getting the following message, "Failed to read the configuration file."

    Firefox has stopped working. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it still will not work. It tells me that it installed successfully but when I launch it I get a window that says, "Failed to read the configuration file." and it will not open. Please help.

    Do a clean reinstall.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • I have a I-MAC and have used firefox, but lately it will not open from the dock, any suggestions?

    As stated above, have used Firefox from the dock for quite a long time, but recently it did not do anything when I clicked on it, just sat there. Have been able to get to it using spotlight, but even then have to go thru extra steps and go thru a step that says something like "this application was downloaded from the internet. Do you want to open it? YES/ NO " Any ideas ? Should I dump it and reinstall, and if so , how would I uninstall?

  • Both my pc and android phone are synced to Firefox, but the devices are not syncing with each other

    Each device (pc + android phone) is logged into Sync, but there is no sync sharing happening
    <sub>edit: removed personal information for your protection. (philipp)</sub>

    HI msknack,
    Thank you for your question. I understand that both of the devices are not syncing to match. Can you please check the following:
    *Are they on the same version of sync? (Android account should not list Firefox Sync (deprecated))
    *Are the managed items checked to be synced in the sync options?
    Posting back could help out other users as well.

  • How can I get the Index tabs to show for each page that is open in the window like on the older versions. I close a window and it says I have tabs open but the tabs are not visible. How do I set it like the older versions? This was easy to manage

    The index tabs were on some kind of toolbar just below the bookmark toolbar and you could see what was open in multiple tabs. I'm not referring to rolling over the Firefox icon for the Windows 7 thing, that's a pain. These index tabs were in plain sight. No matter what I try in Firefox 8, they won't appear.

    the tabs were move to above the navigation bar, where the menu bar was. They hardly look like tabs there, but you may have turned off the tabs bars. View (Alt>V) > Toolbars > Tabs Bar
    I think the solutions would really prefer though would be
    You can make '''Firefox 8.0''' 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)].

    <p>There is a lot more beyond those first 10 steps listed, if you want to make Firefox more functional.</p>

  • I have iCloud on but my contacts are not showing up on my mac, only iphone

    All I want to do is sync my contacts on my iphone to my mac and I can't do it. It appears to be the Maverick thing that jazzed this up but I don't understand why I can't see the contacts now with icloud?

    Your problem is being caused by the fact the iCloud only syncs contacts that belong to the iCloud account.  It will not sync contacts from external account such as your exchange account.  To sync them with iCloud, you will have to copy the contacts to your iCloud account, then disable contacts syncing with your exchange account (to avoid seeing duplicate contacts on your phone).  I can give you the steps to do this if that's what you want to do.  (You can't, however, get your FB contacts in iCloud.)

  • I installed the new firefox sync on my two computers, but the bookmarks are not synchronising. How do I solve it?

    Hello,
    I recently installed the new version of firefox sync on my computers (by unlinking the old version, and creating a new account), but the bookmarks are not synchronising. One of the computer turns with Windows 7 and the other with Ubuntu 14.
    I created the account with the firefox on the Windows computer, and some things were well synchronized on the Linux computer (ie Addblock was installed), but the bookmarks on the Linux firefox are empty.
    Could you please help me to solve this problem?
    Thank you very much.

    Type '''about:sync-log''' in the URL bar and hit Enter.
    Do you have any Error Reports?
    If so, open the most recent report (check the date to make sure it is from the new version of Sync). Then copy and paste the contents of that report to http://pastebin.com/ and post the URL to "your New Paste" to this forum thread so that we can review that error log.
    ''Edit - whoops'', start with the Windows PC, then the Ubuntu box.

  • I have installed firefox 3.2.64. When i click on the desktop icon nothing happens. The windows task manager says mozilla firefox is running but I can't see it anywhere. What might the problem be?

    Question
    I have installed firefox 3.2.64. When i click on the desktop icon nothing happens. The windows task manager says mozilla firefox is running but I can't see it anywhere. What might the problem be?

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
