I just downloaded Firefox 4 but there is no "connection scale" on the right hand bottom of the screen and no icons on the top left of the screen like a "home" for home page etc. top

On the old Firefox 3.0 I had a 'connection scale" on the bottom right hand corner (just above the time) which shows you the extent of connection. I also had icons on the top left hand corner of a 'home' for home page...etc. On Firefox.4.0 these are missing. Can they be obtained by the "settings"?

I'm not sure what you mean by "connection scale". If you are referring to the padlock, this has been replaced by the site identity button, for details on using it see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Site+Identity+Button
The Home button by default has been moved to the right hand side of the navigation toolbar, you can move it back. For details of how to do that see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/how-do-i-customize-toolbars
If any buttons are missing, you can restore them as shown here - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Back+and+forward+or+other+toolbar+items+are+missing

  • Just downloaded firefox but it constantly says it needs to update but can't AND PEarl Crescent doesn't work - saved JPEG and PNG files apear as gibberish

    I have installed / de-installed and re-installed firefox on my mac and have had a lot of problems. When I used my PC I always used firefox but it isn't working on my macbook. Firefox is constnantly looking for upgrades but then doesn't actually upgrade and just gets stuck. I downloaded peal crescent (which worked prior to my de-installing and re-installing) and now all PNG and JPG files don't save properly and seem to come out as gibberish (they do hve .jpg and .png at the end)

    You can download Firefox 15.0.1 directly from http://mozilla.com/ and install that directly. Please see this article (and the links in there) for more info: [[How to fix the Update Failed error message when updating Firefox]].
    Are you trying to use [http://pearlcrescent.com/products/pagesaver/ Pearl Crescent Page Saver]? Which feature is not working as designed?

  • I downloaded Firefox; but there is no icon to drag to Accessory and no menu bar.

    I downloaded Firefox to my MacPro. I waited for the Firefox icon to appear in order to drag it to the Application box but the icon never appeared. What can I do?

    Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.<br />
    Open the DMG file and drag the Firefox program to the application folder on your hard drive.<br />
    You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but drag it out of the DMG folder instead.

  • I just downloaded firefox but everything is so tiny. how do i go back to what I had in internet explorer 9?

    When I had I.E. 9, everything was in a bigger font so I could read and see it. Now that I have firefox, it's all so small I can't see it easily. I just want to know how I increase the words?

    You can use one of these extensions to adjust the default font size and page zoom on web pages:
    * Default FullZoom Level - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/6965
    * NoSquint - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2592

  • HT4623 I need to download iOS but there is no update in my settings. How can I go ahead and update my iOS???!

    I need help updateing my iOS. I need ios6. But I go into settings and there are nonupdates. How can I get iOS 6????

    Updates over the air didn't become an available feature until iOS 5, so if you don't have iOS 5 or later, that option won't be in Settings > General. You will need to update using iTunes on your computer.
    Update your device using iTunes
    Ensure that you're using the latest version of iTunes.
    Connect your device to your computer using the included USB cable.
    After iTunes opens, select your device when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
    Click "Check for Update" in the Summary pane to check for available updates.
    If an update is available, iTunes prompts you to download and install the update. Do not disconnect your device until the update has finished.
    Or you can use http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414?viewlocale=en_US

  • How to move the Firefox 'close window' x icon to the right-hand corner?

    I've just been given the option to upgrade my Ubuntu Linux (from Karmic Koala to Lucid Lynx). Although the updated colour scheme and Fire fox look great, one annoyance is that the 'close window' X-icon has moved from the right-hand corner to the left-hand corner.
    As a right-handed person, my mouse pointer drifts over to the right-hand side of windows, so moving this icon from the right corner to the left corner doesn't make sense to me, as a right-handed person (~90% of the world are right-handed?).
    I know that there's almost definitely a keyboard shortcut for 'close window' but I would like to see the 'Close window' 'x' back in the right-hand corner, or an option/preference to put it back where it always used to be! (as far as I know...).
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == When I upgraded Firefox to 3.6.3 as part of Ubuntu upgrade from KK to LL release. Think I might have been running an older 3.6.x version of Firefox prior to this.

    This problem is not particular to Firefox but rather a design scheme that is applied to all programs running Lucid Lynx.
    Solution 1.
    Go to System > Preferences > Appearance. Choose a Theme that has the right orientation rather than the left.
    Solution 2.
    Open up a Terminal and run this snippet to move everything to the right again:
    gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout --type string menu:minimize,maximize,close

  • I am downloading Firefox but it does not engage. i had a prior version which worked fine but the new version is not even showing a home page.

    I downloaded Firefox but it will not start. It has not opened. I do not get a home page from Firefox. I do have an icon from a prior version of Firefox but when I click it, the system takes me to MSN.com home page.

    On2CO,  I'm glad you have reached out to us today. Thank you so much for the very detail description on what is going on with the device. Sounds like there might be an issue with an application that might be causing these issues. The reason I say that is, when the phone is in Safe Mode you are able to access the Settings screens with no issues. While in Safe Mode that does block all 3rd party applications from running on the phone. I would suggest on trying to back up the device and perform a factory reset: http://spr.ly/6-182Vuo (you would want to make sure to uncheck Automatic Restore in step 3). Once the reset is complete try to see if you can get into Settings. Then, I would recommend on adding 3rd party applications back on to the device one by one to see if we can find what app might be causing this issue. Please keep us posted if you have any further questions or concerns.   KevinR_VZW Follow us on Twitter @VZWSupport If my response answered your question please click the "Correct Answer" button under my response.

    Do a clean (re)install:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
    * 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.
    You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

  • I have just downloaded Firefox 4 and my autofill on the google toolbar is not working for any webpages it previously worked with. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks

    Question
    I have just downloaded Firefox 4 and my autofill on the google toolbar is not working for any webpages it previously worked with. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks

    Crap. That's what I was afraid of...Well, since I'm away from home and not near my pc, it sounds like I'm out of luck. The problem is that I need my phone to be at least functional for making and receiving calls. There's an apple store nearby. Perhaps I can go there and have them restore it and at least I'll be able to make and receive calls until I get home and restore from my backup. Does that sound feasible, or am I missing something?
    P.s. I tried to click "correct answer" and accidentally hit "helpful". Sorry about that...

  • Just downloaded Firefox 6.0 and have restarted 4 plus times, but it continues to hang while launching. I cannot open new windows, change any settings, or do anything but Force Quit. I'm on Mac OSX 10.5.8. How do I get past this hang?

    Long story short: Simply get CC for teams. At 500 bucks a year it's a steal and those 5 licenses in the base package (or was it 10 even?) cover all your computers, at least the 3 ones you mentioned. For system requirements refer to the individual product pages.
