I lost the Vista effect on my Firefox "top bar"

Okay, by "top bar" I mean the horizontal strip at the top of the browser that contains the FF Logo on the far left, then some text reference as to where you are and then on the extreme right are the minimize symbol (-), the restore up/down symbol and the "x" Close button.
Anyway, the bar is now a solid color and no longer has the Vista transparent effect that all other programs have. What have I done?

== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Yesterday

No, I don't use Persona but I figured it out, at least I think did.
I wasn't using the Vista-Aero theme at the time. I didn't turn it off though - maybe if it was Updated FF shut it off until I restarted FF?
So. I selected it and restarted. Now the bar has the Vista transparent effect again! BUT.... the theme still has the "Restart to use" button is still there.

I've lost the ability to scroll in Firefox. I can scroll in Explorer and chrome and in any program on my laptop. When I try to scroll the little image of scrolling shows up but page won't move. I've shut down Firefox 3 times and my computer once.

Pretty much explained the problem in the above question.

Imac display problem, the resolution seems to be unusual, top bar and all folders on the desktop background is off the screen

Need help with 21" imac display problem. The resolution seems to be unsual, everything on the desktop background goes off the screen. The resolution is set at 1920 x 1080

Quit the game and restart the iPad.
To quit the game - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If that doesn't work try this.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

How do I turn off the automatic full screen feature that makes the top bar (with the minimize buttons) disappear?

I just downloaded Firefox 4 on a Dell laptop with WinXP. When I'm in a browser window the window resizes automatically and the bar at the top (with the minimize, full and close buttons) disappears. When I drag the cursor up to the top the window resizes again and that top bar appears. Makes me crazy. How do I turn it off?

I'm not aware of the behavior you're describing. I've never seen it, and just tested it for myself. I cannot get windows to zoom to full screen just from moving them to or along the top of the screen. Is this only happening in Photoshop? If so, it may be a Photoshop issue. If not, have you installed any kind of third-party software that might be doing that? Try rebooting in safe mode and see if the problem persists then. If it doesn't, but comes back when you reboot normally, the problem is caused by some third-party software you have installed.

The issue is related to firefox 3.5 but is also seen in firefox 3.6 the images rendered like a curtain effect if they are not preloaded and the page builds up in part rather than building all at once and showing

When we traverse from one page to the other and this is not different php pages, its the same html page only dom manipulation. to show different gui one after the other. Now on these screens there are some images that are preloaded like loaded upfront and some are pulled at run time when user visits that screen. All images that are pulled on run time show a curtain effect. This is problem number 1, we cannot preload these images since the systems are having only 250mb ram.
Now the other problem is that when the user goes from one screen to the other the entire screen builds up in one shot on ff 1.0.8 but on ff 3.5 or 3.6 it builds up in parts
Do we need to change some configuration in firefox so that the curtain effect is eliminated, Is there a setting in firefox 3.5 that can make the rendering more like ff 1.0.8 or ff 2.
Is there any different that you suggest we do our dom manipulations or some ways that we should not do if that is the cause of the issue. This is very urgent since we are loosing users due to performance problems

Since updating to Firefox 4.0.1 I have lost the site security ranking provided by Norton. can I incorporate this in the latest Firefox? Failing that, how can I return to my previous version?

I am using FIREFOX with OS X and suddenly I lost the slot at the top of the browswer in which to type the URL's. It just disappeared.

I've lost the orange firefox tab with the arrow, that was in the top left corner: how do I get it back?

I've lost the orange firefox tab with the arrow, that was in the top left corner: how do I get it back?

In current Firefox releases (29 and later), that have have the Australis user interface, the orange Firefox menu button has been replaced by the three-bar Firefox Menu button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar and this button is always visible, whether you have the menu bar visible or hidden A consequence of this location is that you no longer can hide the Navigation Toolbar
*There is a star like button to the right end of the search bar on the Navigation Toolbar to bookmark the current web page and a "Show your bookmarks" button next to it to open the Bookmarks in a drop down menu. You can find "Show All Bookmarks" to open the Bookmarks Manager (Library) at the bottom of this drop-down list
*It is still possible to have the menu bar visible via the right-click context menu on the toolbars to have menus like the Bookmarks menu
* *If you bookmark a page then "Bookmark This Page" in the Bookmarks menu changes to "Edit This Bookmark"

I updated Firefox, lost The Free Dictionary's some essential fucntions, cannot get them back. The TFD now only works in English. What to do?

I updated Firefox to 10.0.2 and lost the functionality of The Free Dictionary. I reinstalled TFD, but now it only works in English. Say, I read a German webpage, highlight a word, the dictionary goes to look for it in the English dictionary. Before I had all the versions I needed, and the dictionary went automatically into the right one. And before I could have the toolbar installed, now there is no option for this either. What should I do?

Hi Maurizio, I asked you about a problem with the free dictionary. I found the solution, which actually was not technical. In case someone else has the same, this is what I did not understand: When I highlight a word in a text in other language than English, the dictionary gives me an explanation in English, i.e. "word not found", but when I then press "search", the dictionary connects me into the appropriate dictionary. It functions even in Chinese! So, problem sorted out. The dictionary is not as good as before, but still, it works. Un saludo, Markku

On a mac, I have lost the Scaler on Google map. I think that it is Firefox problem because the map scaler is present with Safari. Thank You

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

I have lost the panel at the top of the screen - I can't easily close Firefox

A few days ago I was using Firefox. Somehow I must have clicked on something and now Firefox fills the whole screen and I have lost the Ubuntu panel at the top where I used to have the buttons to minimise, close etc.

Thanks a lot - it saved me hitting keys at random.

I reinstalled Firefox and somehow I lost the tool bars all I see is the "Firefox" tab and a "Firefox Start Page" tab, butdon't get the next line to enter the webaddress.
I had gotten some other extraneous tool bars up there an deleted them.
I have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it but the problem still exists.

Press "Alt" then View > Toolbars, and checkmark any missing toolbar.
You can make '''Firefox 6.0.2''' 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)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''
* http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface
There is a lot more beyond those first 10 steps listed, if you want to make Firefox more functional.
 Please mark "Solved" one answer that will best help others with a similar problem -- hope this was it.

My Firefox has lost the "go back to the previous site" arrow. PLEASE HELP

My Mozilla Firefox browser has lost the "back arrow" in the toolbar.
I have no way to go back to the previous website I visited.
PLEASE HELP.
THANKS

If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" (Linux, Windows)
* If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
* If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

I forgot to include in my post that I had downloaded the new flash after the "no audio" began and it did not help. The problerm began some time after I installed OS 10.7.4.
