I want my bookmarks to be on the side of the screen the way they always were! My bookmarks toolbar is just showing "Most Visited", "Getting Started", and "Latest headlines"- I want my old setup back! This didn't look like this a few hours ago-

I came home, Firefox posted a message that it had crashed, and my bookmarks are no longer visible and the bookmark bar isn't any help-

Actually, it's not obvious & common sense would dictate that users' bookmarks would not be left stuck to random computers even once they've logged out of the account. No one wants that if it's a public work computer or if they're traveling & use an Internet cafe. As I am not the only one who has noticed this issue or had bookmarks disappear/be deleted, in addition, common sense would indicate it's not really a very good system. And carrying around a flashdrive to run Firefox off of it is a good solution? Really? Just curious why a useful feature such as being able to login & use your preferences & bookmarks & then logging out removes your preferences when you're gone hasn't been developed. Yahoo keeps my preferences when I logout (it's called My Yahoo!). Maybe a My Firefox or My Chrome solution could be developed.

i chose an option which replaced 'bookmarks' in the menu with most visited, getting started and latest headlines. I want to go back to the default, simply 'Bookmarks' How do I do this?

Hello Iqbal.
You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

My tool bar is missing. All I have are "Most visited, getting started and latest headlines on my tool bar. There is no "tool" option, history or anything. How do i go about getting it back?

I can't find anything to let me get my toolbar back! I don't know how it was removed either so I can't undo what was done. All of the "Help" comments on Firefox.com pertain to adding stuff to your tool bar but I don't have one!

For details of how to restore it, see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/menu+bar+is+missing

There used to be a preview window in mail where you could read the message in the mail box but now its gone. It just shows me who its from and the date. I now have to click on the message twice to get it to display. How do I get the preview box back?

There is a bug in Mail triggered by receiving a password-protected PDF as an attachment. According to reports, the bug is fixed in OS X 10.8.5.

On my start page a line of data, e.g., "Most Visited" - "Getting Started," 'Latest Headlines," appears between the data line containing the URL and the tab line; how can I clear this line?

This is about as specific as I can get.

That will be the bookmarks toolbar. To hide it, in the View menu select Toolbars, then click on the "Bookmarks Toolbar" entry to de-select it.
You can also control-click on a toolbar and click on eh "Bookmarks toolbar" entry.

My tool bar only lists MOST VISITED-GETTING STARTED-LATEST HEADLINES --- What happened to BOOKMARKS?

how do i get BOOKMARKS added to my tool bar?

Make sure that you have the bookmarks in the Bookmarks Toolbar folder if you want to see them on that toolbar.
* The Bookmarks Toolbar folder stores the bookmarks that you see on the (View > Toolbars >) Bookmarks Toolbar.
* The Bookmarks Menu folder stores bookmarks that you see in the Bookmarks menu and create via "Bookmarks > Bookmark This Page" or "Bookmark This Link" in the right click context menu.
* The Unsorted Bookmarks folder stores that bookmarks that are created by clicking the star at the right end of the location bar.
*[[Bookmarks]]

Below most visited, getting started, latest headlines and between the actual webpage screen there are about a dozen firefox support and other site indicators tha i can't close. how can i close them?

these open icons where i have described them seem to be active and they slow down firefox

Do you mean tabs on the tab bar?
Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).

How can I get the old Firefox back, this new one stinks

how can I get the old Firefox back, this new one stinks

Firefox is highly customizable and you may be able to customize it to meet your needs.
If you do not like the new UI, you can make Firefox 4 look and behave more like Firefox 3.6, for details see http://www.computertechtips.net/64/make-firefox-4-look-like-ff-3-6
To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

I cannot find a way to sort the bookmark folders themselves alphabetically by name.I am not talking about in a view mode but in the way they are displayed when I click on my bookmarks tab. Can someone explain to me how to accomplish this.

I have a lot of various book mark folders with websites contained within each folder. I am able to sort the websites within each folder alphabetically by name but I cannot find a way to sort the bookmark folders themselves alphabetically by name.I am not talking about in a view mode but in the way they are displayed when I click on my bookmarks tab. Can someone explain to me how to accomplish this other than manually dragging them as this is extremely hard for me due to the fact that I am a quadriplegic with limited hand movement dexterity

Bookmark folders that you created are in the Bookmarks Menu folder. "Sort" that folder.

You can get a thunderbolt to firewire adapter. You can then get a firewire 400 to 800 cable and put the old computer in target mode. Then you can follow these instructions.

How do I erase IOS 6? I installed it and now 45 apps can't download! I want my old iPhone back, I hate IOS6

1. I foolishly agreed to install IOS6. Woke up: my phone told me it had a number of fatal errors
2. Did a RESTORE in iTunes
3. Did a second RESTORE
now I have 45 apps missing -- the apps that make the phone so dear to me --
I WANT MY OLD IPHONE BACK
please help
Thanks

I'm in the same boat. Updated to ios6 without doing the research first.
Now I have things that won't sync correctly.
Went to the Apple store, they were acting like they didn't know how this could be done.
They make it seem like you can do anything in the world on an iPhone... except get rid of ios6 and go back to 5.1.
There has to be a way this can be done. With what seems like so many people upset about the new upgrade, either Apple is gonna step up to the plate with a solution or the people are gonna find one.

HELP! I did an archive and install and I want my old system back

Hello,
I had a big problem that actually ended up being a small problem. Unfortunately to try to fix it I did an archive and install. Now I have come to the realization that my Postfix mail setup, my MySQL setup, my PHP setup, my web pages, my Blog are all gone. Now if I go into the "previous system" folder everything seems to be there. Is there a way to just restore the old system to get all that back without having to reconfigure and redo everything?
I tried to copy the old "Library" back out to the / folder, the problem is that this folder is constantly in use and cannot be replaced.
Any advice?
PowerMac G5 Dual 2.5 Ghz

Joshua:
You said you did an Archive and Install. You did not say whether this was an upgrade or you were re-installing Tiger.
I suggest you read the article linked above, if you have not already done so, and it will give you an idea of what happened. If you chose to preserve User Settings, it should all be there in your new Library. All you need to do it move over your data and you'll be fine. Otherwise you can just move over your entire Users Folder and it will have everything you need.
You said that you want your old system back. I am not sure if you are saying that you want to go to a previous OS, like Panther, or whether you want your computer back the way it was.
a couple of other points, if I may:
1. Re-installation, by whatever method, should always be a avenue of last resort. It is the ultimate invasive therapy and likely result in the situation you are in or worse. Every other avenue should be exhausted before resorting to this rememdy.
2. A good backup strategy is a life saver. During any major procedure, and sometimes without any procedure just of out the blues, your computer can fail and you can lose all your data, your third party apps etc. It is good practice to preferably clone your entire computer to an external Firewire Drive that can also be used as an emergency boot disk.
OK, I gave you much more information that you requested. However, I hope something I said was helpful in terms of recovering your settings and data. Please post back and let me know.
Good luck.

I just upgraded to a new MacBook and my wife is inheriting my old MacBook Air. How can I change the her MacBook Air to now be fundamentally hers? That is, so the House Icon under Users folder is her name and not mine? Also the default AppleID for purchase stubbernly remains my own.

You do not mention it, but I will assume you are running OS 10.9.1.
Go to: Apple menu / System Preferences / Users & Groups. Click the padlock and enter your password.
Click the + (plus sign) and set up a new account for your wife. You have to enter a bunch of info. And then create the correct Login Options. Automatic login does not require a password from the selected user.
When that is done, verify the account works by restarting the computer and login as your wife.
Make sure that any applications in your own Users folder that will be needed are moved to the Applications folder in your wife's Users folder.
Now go back to Users and Groups, click the padlock and authenticate, select your own account, and hit the - (minus sign). This step cannot be reversed, so you might want to wait a few days before doing it.
When your wife is logged in, the App Store will know.

Thiis iis not working foro me. i want my old firefox back

i just got the new firefox 4 installed and cannot do anything with my bookmarks. i don't see an awesome bar nor can i find my minx nail coverings in a bar of any sort. i want my old firefox back cuz this one sucks for me. thank you, jo gurule

It's different, yes. You can move the home (house) button to the other side if you want to, but it sounds like there are other aspects you don't like either. To downgrade to v3.6.16, please follow these instuctions:
Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.16] and download it to the desktop.
Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to Mozilla Firefox and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (don't checkmark the box).
Then reboot and delete the folder called Mozilla Firefox at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier.
Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation.
