I need to reset Firefox, but the Help icon (first step) does not appear in the Menu.

I am attempting to reset Firefox (for Linux/Ubuntu 12.04 LTS), which has gone a bit wonky... but following the procedure, the first thing is to select "Help" (icon "Question Mark) and proceed from there. Unfortunately, there is no help icon displayed in the choices as it is shown on the Firefox website.
It's rather like trying to find a corner in a round room.
As an aside, amongst the problems I am experiencing, is the appearance of green, grey, and black rectangular boxes in the browser window. Visually, it is like the text that usually appears there is being "masked" or something.
(Perhaps) A propos of nothing.. this seems to have happened on the heels of a regular Ubuntu Update.
Thanks for any advice/guidance.

PS - I wanted to u/l a screen shot, but was unable to do.

hello Jaguar07, you can also access that page directly by entering '''about:support''' into the address bar of your firefox browser.

  • The address of the page I am on does not appear in the address bar?

    Since upgrading to Firefox 4, the address of the page I am on, does not appear. I often want to send the link to someone, but now I can't.

    You will all be interested to know, I had been unable to see the link of the page I was on, nor was I able to go back or forward on any webpage.............
    Both problems were solved when I disabled the "Color Tabs" Add On.
    I literally went through each add on, disabling it, and then re-starting Firefox. Again, when I disabled "Color Tabs", problem(s) solved..........
    I impressed even myself.
    Thanks for the Tip.
    I guess certain Add-Ons affect each computer differently, based on what you already have added.

  • I updated Fox fire and I have lost the add on auto dial .. I have tried to redown load the add on and it does not appear on my menu bar..

    I had the add on auto dial then there was a Firefox upgrade and auto dial disappeared from my menu bar. I have tired to redown load auto dial. It says that it will be added when I restart Firefox. I restart in auto dial does not reappear.

    It is almost as if the program does not exist on my computer. If I search for it, the only thing that comes up is the installer. I cannot find it anywhere despite the fact I have installed it numerous times, uninstalled it and conducted a fresh install, and the Adobe website checks says that it is installed.

  • HT1351 I'm OK until "click music tab, select the option "Sync Music" which does NOT appear under the music tab!?

    I recently upgraded my iPad from 4 to 6 iOS. I have a bunch of music on my PC, which I want on my iPad. My music on my PC is all in iTunes format, it recognizes my iPad, I click on the Music tab, and it gives me a list of genres--absolutely nothing about syncing. There is also no evidence of a "Summary" button anywhere. What am I doing wrong?

    Cancel all of the above. I didn't realize I had to unhide the sidebar to get to the correct music tab. Why do they hide what you need, and let you guess how to make it appear. *slinks off in embarrassment.

  • DVD drive does not appear on the "Computer" drive screen

    I have lost access to the DVD drive. It does not appear on the "Computer" drive screen.
    It will start up with a disk inserted but shuts down after a approx 20 seconds without having opened any files.
    The DVD light comes on when it first starts up and then goes off within a few seconds.
    I have re-installed the Toshiba driver and still no access.
    I believe it started when I installed a new WD 1Tb external drive which setup its virtual CD drive on the E: drive which was used by the DVD drive. I have moved the external drive to G: and left the E: drive letter vacant but still not working.
    Any ideas how I can solve this? It would be greatly appreciated.

    I don't know if this will help you but check it anyway

    The website may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving the name and password.
    You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save the name and password.

  • I can no longer burn a disc. The command to do so does not appear in my Files menu. All my recordings are 100% legal. I have installed a new version (it still looks the same), but that hasn't helped. I have done so before.

    All my music is from legal sources (albums owned by me, others from iTunes), but the Burn Disc command does not appear in the File menu, and nothing I do helps. I downloaded a new version of iTunes, but it still loks the same and may just be the same. But the problem started long before I did that.

    This did nothing. Where do I click on the playlist? As far as I have experienced, the playlist is a list of songs with ticks against them on the left. I can use the control key, but where do I point my cursor to select the playlist?
    You don't even need to show the general Sidebar as suggested by others.
    Select Playlists in the top buttons:
    then control-click on the playlist you wish to burn in left column, e.g.:

  • I still use Aperture 2.1.4.  I need to export an image file with a CMYK profile.  Whereas a generic CMYK profile is listed in ColorSync Utility, it does not appear on the list of profiles in the edit portion of the export preset dialogue.  Help?

    I still use Aperture 2.1.4.  I need to export an image file with a CMYK profile.  Whereas a generic CMYK profile is listed in ColorSync Utility, it does not appear on the list of profiles in the edit portion of the export preset dialogue.  Help?  Is there some way to add the CMYK profile to the list of choices that are available in the export preset dialogue such that I can choose it?

    Thanks for your response.  My profiles are located within color sync utility as you can see here:   
    These profiles do not respond to clicking and dragging.  Since they are all in one place, more or less, I'm reluctant to make further attempts to relocate them.  Accessing the CMYK profile is the first difficult experience I've encountered with this arrangement.  I have never needed the CMYK profile until recently, and that need has now past.  However, it remains a mystery to me as to why it does not appear with all the others on the menu of export choices in Aperture 2, or on the menu of profile assignment choices in the Preview application (where again all the other profiles are listed as choices).  I'm beginning to think my current set up will permit me to view an image that was created in CMYK space, but does not easily assign, or convert to that space.  I don't face these restrictions with all the others, so it remains a curious circumstance for me.  I anticipate upgrading my computer and software in the near future which might alleviate this issue altogether.  Again, many thanks for your attention to this matter.  The reach of this community is astounding.

  • TS3276 Mail shows in the doc, but when clicked or doubled clicked does not open on the desktop, HELP !

    Mail shows in the doc, but when clicked or doubled clicked does not open on the desktop, HELP !

    Try restarting your Mac.
    Open Termimal (Applications/Utilities/Terminal)Try entering this command: killall Dock, and then hit enter
    Try dragging the Mail icon out of the dock, then let it disappear in a puff of smoke. Then from Applications/Mail try dragging the Mail icon back into the dock, and see if it works.
    Does Mail open otherwise? Like if you try opening it from your Applications folder?if it doesn't:
    Boot into your recovery partition (restart, hold down ⌘R until you see the Apple logo), and use Disk Utility to repair your hard drive. Repair permissions too while you're there. OS X: About OS X Recovery
    if that doesn't work: reinstall Mavericks over your current installation.

    Hi,
    I forgot my security questions and I don't have a rescue email setup.
    I serached the internet and the only solution I found for that is to call apple. The proble is there is no phone to call, they have to call you and there is a list of countries.
    I live in Lebanon and it does not appear in the list of countries listed for apple customer support call.
    How can I reset the security questions.
    thank you
