I've lost the menu bar and Ask has taken over the front page.

Something was down loaded yesterday and Ask Jeeves appears to have come with it. I can't get back to my orginal Firefox front page and have lost all my toolbars. I have uninstalled Ask but it is still there even though it has gone from my program list. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Mozilla four times but still Ask is at the front with everything else missing

Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.

Can I reset my search engine to Wikipedia? I don't want any of those default Search Engines anymore they are too intrusive. And I can not Empty Cache any more and Google has taken over the address bar?

Can someone please explain how this now works? And am I obligated to load Mountain Lion. It's a very expensive price to pay for online privacy that isn't even Private anymore. I am old enough that I don't have to pay ransome. I can just quit.
I didn't say and was never asked If I wanted Mountain Lion. I can no longer 'Empty Cache' at the end of a session online and when I do a search now (and this has all changed overnight) the query is typed into what used to be the address bar and when the search results appear, after reading the first result and I want to read the second or fifth or Any of the other results of the query I am forced to resubmit the search in the address bar because the 'Page Back' button has been removed and the Little Red Dot closes the Search Results Page altogether.
What else am I in for with Mountain Lion? I already know that I do NOT want anything to do with iCloud. I am willing to bet a lot of money that a pharmaceutical company one day is going to be holding me for ransome with a new drug that was created out of the symptoms of a once - upon - a - time naturally occuring symptom of aging. At least I can turn my Macbook off and leave it that way and the world will not cease to exist. (Or will it?)

Computer operation 101.
Get a bootable, external HD (preferably FireWire, since it's 40-50% faster than USB 2 and designed for data transfers), make a bootable backup/clone before updating/upgrading, using something like Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper!, and ensure that it's bootable and works like the original. That allows you to revert to the previous good state without having to reinstall or reset anything. See these for details:

http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/installswupdates.html

If you only have a Time Machine backup, ensure that you can reliably restore it to another disk/volume/partition before updating/upgrading.

I've lost the menu bar and want to get it back

I used the task bar to remove the menu bar and now it is gone and I can't use the menu to get it back. I've lost the web address bar everything so can't use the webpage. I would uninstall but it doesn't come up in my list of programs. I tried deleting the program and reintroducing it but it came back with the same lack of task bars. I was only trying to tidy all the gumpf fro the top of the page, not remove the functionality of the thing.

* In Firefox 3.6 versions on Windows and Firefox 4 on Windows and Linux it's possible to hide the "Menu Bar" via "View > Toolbars" or via the right-click context menu of a toolbar.
* Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
* Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the "Menu Bar" or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Title Bar stuck under the Menu bar and I cannot select and move it.

I often arrange windows around the desktop and sometimes I inadvertently push a window up too far and the title bar gets under the menu bar. Once I let go of the arrow, the title bar is too far under the menu bar and I can no longer reach it to move it down. The only solution is to close out the program and start over. Is there a way unbeknownst to me to select the title bar again and move it?

My E*Trade streaming watch list was stuck under the Menu Bar also. I tried reseting the screen resolution down to 1280 x 1024, and restarting the MarketTrader. There on the display was the stuck window, out from under. I resized and moved it to a central location, and resized the display back to my normal 1920 setting. And to my relief, the window Bar! Thanks Discussion!

The menu bar and HUD elements are unusually large in FF 22.

In the new version, the size of the menu bar and subsequent toolbars seems to have increased slightly. This also seems to have forced the icons on the toolbars to enlarge, causing them to be blurry as they are displayed in a lower resolution than normal.
Additionally, the zoom level (text and element size) for many webpages has increased. Manually resetting with ctrl+scroll down works, and the pages retain their proper size, but it's frustrating to redo this for every webpage.
I have checked that the text size setting in Options did not change.
What can I do to undo this appearance change?

Is it possible to have the menu bar and the tabs on the same level?

Just downloaded Firefox 4 and I've started to get used to tabs being above the address bar (since it fits the theme so well), but I'm not used to the loss of the menu bar. When I bring the menu bar back, however, it creates a whole new level instead of being on the same level as the tabs like the Firefox button is. I'm just wondering if there's a way to make the menu bar and the tabs on the same level.

No, that is not possible.
Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.

I just tested that since I hardly ever use full screen mode, this was the first time since I upgraded to Mountain Lion, and it worked fine for me.
Try shutting Safari down and see if that changes anything.
If that doesn't change anything, try shutting down and then rebooting.

Every time i close my macbook and open it the airplay icon disappears from both the menu bar and itunes

every time i close my macbook and open it the airplay icon disappears from both the menu bar and itunes or i get an error when i try to use it
do you know why and how to solve this problem?

Hi Colin,
A couple of things you can try:
Open System Preferences and click on Network. Click on the small gear icon below the list of connections and select Set Service Order. Move your AirPort connection up to the top of the list so it will be first in line when your computer searches for connections. (It's probably looking for ethernet connections first..the normal default..and finding none, it then looks for wireless. This takes time.
Click on your AirPort connection again to highlight it and then click Advanced in the lower right of the pane. Make sure your wireless network is at the top of the list. Delete other networks that you don't need.
Finally, make sure there is a check mark in the box next to "Remember any network this computer has joined".
See if one of these actions will help.

I selected a clip in the Project window in iMovie 11, opened the Clip Trimmer for that clip, chose the part of the clip I wanted to keep with the yellow bars, and "trim to Selection" in the menu bar is light grey so I can't complete the edit.
I'm using a MacbookPro so can't right click to highlight (as was suggested in this forum for the same problem) and can't seem to highlight that area. What do I do?

When using the Clip Trimmer, you click DONE to indocate that you are finished.
The Trim To Selection is a great tool and I use it all the time, but you use it in the main project timeline, not the clip trimmer. Just select the frames you want so that the yellow border is around them. Then right-click and select Trim to Selection.

Why can't the Menu Bar and the Navigation Tool, share the same line?

With the Menu Bar and the Navigation Tool, now on separate lines, there's all this wasted space right above the address bar. What mental giant thought this up?

You can move the items on the Navigation Toolbar to the Menu bar if you want to have them on that bar.

Hello, Melorw44.
Try pressing the <esc> (Escape) key.
If <esc> doesn't clear your full screen, restart your Mac. When you launch Safari after the restart, the normal sized window should open.
BTW, three finger double tap applies to trackpads. From your responses, I infer that you are not using a trackpad. However, if you are using a wireless mouse (or other wireless pointing device), low batteries in the device might be causing your inability to control your view.

The menu bar and the navigation toolbar do not function though they appear in shaded grayscale. Why?

There is no response to any of the actions in the Menu Bar. Only "Home" works on the Navigation Toolbar: no response from "Go back on page", "Go forward one page", "Reload current page", or "Stop loading this page". Everything appears in a light grayscale except for the "Home" icon.

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

I've lost the menu bar and Ask has taken over the front page.
