I used to have an Icon at the far right of the address line that I could click & get a list of similar sites - it's gone - how do I get it back?

I believe it went away with the latest update - I'm currently at 3.6.11

After using the Firefox Reset feature, a folder named Old Firefox Data should appear on your desktop. This folder should contain all your old extensions. However, there is a gotcha: many of them are filed under alphanumeric identifiers rather than readable names. Still, it's worth a quick look.
Actually, here's a thought: if you drag a .xpi file from the Old Firefox Data\extensions folder and drop it on an open Firefox tab, you should get the install dialog which, presumably, will tell you the extension's name. In theory you could try one after another until you find the one you want. Please note that installing an extension from disk rather than the Add-ons site may make it impossible for Firefox to find updates, so it would be better to figure out the name and get it from the source if you can.
Any luck?

  • How do I get a Vista 64 bit XP machine to show a "+" icon on the tab bar to "Open a new tab" and the "Open a new tab" icon on the far right of the Bookmarks tool bar?

    I have Firefox 4.0.1 installed on two laptops, one with Windows Vista, 64 bit and the other with Windows XP. Both machines have the "Open a new tab" icon on the far right of the Bookmarks tool bar. The XP machine also has a + icon on the tab bar to "Open a new tab" while the Vista machine does not have that + icon. I like using that; is there any way to get it on the Vista machine?

    After weeks of trying, I stumbled on the solution:
    # Right-click on an empty section of the Tab Strip, select Customize... and the Customize Toolbar window will open.
    # At the bottom of the Customize Toolbar window, there are additional options for changing the appearance of the icons in your toolbars. From the Show drop-down menu, you can choose what to display in the toolbars — Icons, Text, or Icons and Text together. By default, Firefox just shows Icons.
    # Select Icons and Text
    # When you are finished making changes, click Done to close the Customize Toolbar window.

  • When searching for something on amazon or ebay the top row always goes to the far right of the screen.

    So when i look up something like "shoes" in the amazon search box the top row of items moves over to the far right. And most are no longer even on my screen
    I checked on I.E. and i had no issues with this so i assume its a firefox issue.

    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.

  • Why is Safari moving to the far right of the dock?

    Does anyone know why the safari alias on my dock has suddenly moved to the far right, next to the dashed line, and continues to move back there when I manually put back to the left?

    Try Safari in another user account. If you don't see the same issue with the Dock there, log back into your admin account. Could be a third party Safari add on causing this.
    Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
    And check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. If you have any installed, turn that off, quit then relaunch Safari to test.

  • Browser does not go to location address whenI press ENTER. I have to click on an arrow on the far right of the location bar. How can I get back to just hitting ENTER?

    Usually I just type in the address and hit enter. But lately it changed so that I have to move the mouse to an arrow on the right side of the address bar and then click.
    I prefer the original method. How do i avoid having to click on the arrow?

    Pressing enter not working can be caused by a malfunctioning add-on. For some people this has been caused by the AVG safe search add-on, disabling that add-on has cured the problem.

  • Help! My outgoing mail has the image of pink lips in the upper right-hand corner.  I did not put it there; it is fun but not exactly professional!  How do I get rid of it?

    Please help!  My outgoing mail messages arrive with an icon of pink lips in the upper right-hand corner.  I have no idea how it got there.  This is cute but not really professional. Does anyone know how I can get rid of it?  Thanks!

    It's been almost three years since I bought and set up my most recent Mac but if I recall correctly .....
    When you initially set up your Mac, you were offered the opportunity to snap a photo of yourself in order to associate your photo with your user account on the computer. If you declined the photo I think the Mac will pick or suggest a picture from the preinstalled selections in the accounts pane of the system preferences. You can change the picture but you cannot delete it totally. That picture is part of your ID for that user account on the Mac.
    If you want to change it, Open System Preferences and click on accounts. Click on your account to change the picture. You will have to unlock the preference in the bottom left corner - and to do that - you need to enter your password. Click on the picture of the Eagle and then all of the preinstalled photo choices pop up in another window. Select another photo and then clcik the lock icon again when you are done.

  • Aperture 3 screen view. I have the adjustments, etc. on the left side and the picture on the far right side. The middle of screen is black. I need to get the picture back in the center of screen

    I have the adjustments, etc. on the left side of the screen. The picture is on the far right side of the screen. The middle of the screen is all black.How do I get the picture back in the middle of the acreen.  I believe I must have hit a button that moved the picture to the far right.

    On the Mac......
    Open up Macintosh HD > Applicatons > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the small window that appears
    Click the Network tab at the top of the next window
    Change the setting for Router Mode from the current DHCP and NAT to read Off (Bridge Mode), then click Update at the lower right of the window, and wait a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart to a green light.
    Then.....very important
    Power off the Time Capsule and your Arris modem/router for a few minutes
    Start up the Arris first, and let it run a few minutes by itself
    Start up the Time Capsule next the same way
    Your network will now be correct, and your printing capabilities will improve.
    If Time Machine backups do not occur now, post back and we will tackle that next.

  • What is the icon on the far right that looks like a circle and has a small number that changes depending on the website page? in the bottom right edge of

    I am wondering what this thing is.
    It is an icon located on the far right of the page next to the search toolbar. It is shaped like a circle with a number on the bottom right edge. The number changes depending on which tab I have opened. An empty tab has no number. This page results in a 1. I have another page open which results in a 4. The number shows white in a small orange box. The circle is outlined with a thick black line. What does this icon indicate?
    Thank you.
    John

    Hi John, I'm guessing that icon is created and updated by an extension. I'm not sure which one, though. Maybe something that is tracking the trackers, like Lightbeam? Have you tried hovering your mouse over the icon to see whether a tooltip appears, or clicking it?

  • Can the "ADD-A-NEW-TAB" button be reconfigured to be adjacent to existing tabs (like it used to be)? I am a left-handed tablet user who finds it's position on the far right side of screen very inconvenient.

    In previous version of Firefox, the "add-a-new-tab" button has been located to the right of any existing tabs. In the latest version it's been moved to the far right of the screen. In tablet mode, this is too far to reach conveniently for a left-hander. I cannot find any controls to re-configure it to the way it used to be and I can't "drag" it to where I want it. Is there a way to relocate it?

    Thanks. I don't know why it wouldn't just go back there when I tried putting it back? I didn't change anything, so I assumed the new "default" was over on the left. Glad it was a simple solution after all.

  • I used to be able to open a new tab by clicking on the + tab on the far right. Now when I click the +, nothing happens. No new tab appears. What could be wrong?

    The Open a new tab (the + sign at the far right of the tabs) does not respond. How do I fix that?

  • Adobe Reader XI, how do I remove the panel on the far right for Tools, Fill & Sign, Comment?

    How do I remove this panel on the far right of the screen?  It takes up too much space when I move the Adobe window to only the left or right side of my screen.  Can it be shrunk like Bookmarks, Attachments and Thumbnails?

    Thanks ~graffiti.  That got me halfway there.  I only want the tool bars on the right to go away.  I like the toolbars on the top.
    I found if I "Hide Toolbars" and then "Show Toolbars", the Tools Fill & Sign Comment toolbar comes back minimized.  The shortcut key is F8.  I will have to remember the shortcut so I may rapidly turn off and then show the toolbars.
