Icon task bar on printer MG5420

My icon task bar mysteriously migrated to the center of my screen and I can't figure out how to get it back to the lower right hand corner where it came from. It's on a new Canon Pixma MG 5420. Also is there away to get rid of the full task bar altogether but have a single icon that can bring it back the full bar of icons when I want it?

Hi JER60,
I think you are referring to the Quick Menu.
If so, you can click and drag on the corner icon (which appears like a square with dots in the middle) to move the Quick Menu where you like. If you drag it to a corner of the screen, it will "snap" into place neatly.
Also, you should see two arrows near that corner icon. Click the arrows to compress the Quick Menu bars or expand them. If you want to remove a specific icon from the bar, right click on the icon and select Delete or simply drag the icon out of the Quick Menu bar.
Finally, to prevent the Quick Menu from starting when you boot your computer, right click on the corner icon again and select Preferences. Remove the check from the box "Start Quick Menu when Windows starts".
You can always open the Quick Menu again from your Start Menu or desktop shortcut (if available).

How do i get a print icon in task bar

installed printer with manufactures disk but i do not get pre-print icon on task bar.

Do you own Acrobat? If so what version? If not what version of Word and PP do you have? Newer versions contain non-Adobe software for creating pdfs. If you do not own Acrobat that it would be best to check in a Microsoft forum on how to use Word to create pdfs.

The firefox icon shows on my desk top and in my task bar, but why does it NOT show in my list of Program files?

My Firefox icons are showing and usable from the desktop and from the task bar; however, the Mozilla Firefox does not show in my list of program files. Why doesn't it show?

Hello,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems?esab=a&s=troubleshooting&r=3&as=s#w_5-reinstall-firefox here].
WARNING: Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.

No task bar/menu bar or icons appear when I login into my main account, however this is not a problem with my guest accout

So was trying to use install disk ! to solve the problem but did not want to reinstall the system because I have not backed up many of my photographs. Then the disk got stuck and would not come out so when I shut down and restarted I could not get past the gray screen. Well I was able to solve the problem and remove the disk, and finally it would load to the login screen, although it took some time to get there. Then when I log in to my main account the desktop will load but the task bar and icons will not its completely blank except for the wall paper. When I login into my guest account there is not a problem everything is there and functional. I've been researching but have had no luck on a solution. Thank you for your help.

Hello,
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive & clear caches.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

Another issue, Yahoo is trying to sync with my computer and I have no idea why or where that one came from.

Firefox 4 is not appearing in Task bar or some times it is Disappearing from task bar when i am minimising the window. so, i had to go to Task manager and find the icon.Its becoming big messy if tabs are not found , to switch programmes.

firefox icon is missing from "Task bar"when i am minimising the window

I am unwilling to attempt navigation away from these sites. The pop-ups that occur on the attempt to leave a site or to close the browser are exit traps offering incentive to stay.
Once upon a time, when the internet was less dangerous, I would be willing to close the exit pop-ups. Now, after twice being infected with malware trying to close the pop-ups, I now force close whichever browser I am using.
Recently, I clicked on the red X to close one pop-up, and it installed a trojan that I had to pay to be removed. When I clicked on 'Leave' in another exit pop, it didn't exit and it turned out I was giving permission to run a script file. Now that criminals have learned these exit pop-ups can be used to force a click action, the sites using them have become dangerous.
If I force the browser to close using Task manager, Please tell me how to stop FireFox from sending me directly back to the same site because it mistakenly believes it crashed when it did not. I forced it to close because I was on a site that had taken control of my browser and was not allowing me to leave the site.
No other browser sends me back to the potentially dangerous sites. I prefer Firefox, but the new version must have a setting that allows me to get safely away from a problem site?

When I click on the - fire fox disappears from the task bar; it is still open but gone from the task bar, if I click on any icon it opens a new Firefox window, I end up with several windows open but none on the task bar.

My Mozilla icon is no longer showing on my task bar AND I can not shut down my computer

I have been unable, after multiple attempts, to 'shut down' my computer - while investigating possible reasons, I noticed that although Mozilla shows up on my screen icons, the symbol does not show up on my task bar. Not sure if one has anything to do with the other - but my Mozilla symbol has always showed up on my task bar, until now.

Hi MarilynJ68,
This may be more of a Windows problem than a Firefox one, but I will make a stab at answering it for you.
I am not at the moment using Windows 7. I imagine though that by default it looks for running apps and prompts a user to close or save etc. before closing down.
Use the task manager by I think right clicking the task bar or (was Ctrl + Alt+ Del) '''Ctrl + Shift+ Esc''' That allows you to see running programs and havethe option to stop them.

I can no longer place links to websites in the FF icon on my Windows 7 task bar, as I could with Firefox 4. Is it still possible? task bar since upgrading to Firefox 4. Can it be made possible?

With FF v.3 I could place links to oft-used websites in the right-click expanded Firefox icon on the task bar. It appears that Firefox v. 4 no longer provides for that feature. Can it be done some other way? Otherwise I have to open my FF homepage and click on a toolbar bookmark for the website.

>> Did you check what happens if you set the Task bar to be always visible?
No, because I do not want my Task bar to always be visible. I want it to auto-hide.
Firefox *is* maximized when this occurs. However, "maximized" window does not mean "cover up task bar", which is what FF is doing. I can maximize any of my other applications and still access the task bar as expected. For those applications, I did not have to hunt for special configuration files or anything else, because they are following what appears to be at the very least a UX best practice for Windows 7.
I definitely appreciate your taking the time to share the information that you have shared, and I have no doubt that your suggestions work as you have outlined. However, I'm seeking a user experience with FF in which I do not have to treat it differently than other applications in order to view my Windows task bar when its window is maximized. And I can view the taskbar with FF maximized, *sometimes*. Other times, it stops appearing indefinitely, across multiple sessions/shutdowns/etc.
(FYI, right now, I have FF maximized, and am able to view the Task bar, so I'm not currently experiencing this issue. I do not recall doing anything special to make it work.)
Again, I appreciate your taking the time to answer, even if it wasn't what I wanted to hear. :)

I used to have task or shortcuts show up when I would right click on the FF Icon on the task bar. After installing 4.0 they are all gone. How do I get these back? or restore them to what they were?

Win 7 task bar has a Fire Fox Icon. Before installing FF 4.0 I could right click on the Icon and it would show short cuts to various sights, which when clicked on would open that sight in FF.
They are all gone now. What happened? Is there a way to get these back?

A few hidden preferences to check to make sure that the jump lists are enabled:
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# In the filter box type '''browser.taskbar.lists''' this should bring up a few preferences
# To enable all parts of the jump list, make sure the following preferences are set to '''true''', if they are not double-click to them to change their value
## browser.taskbar.lists.enabled
## browser.taskbar.lists.frequent.enabled
## browser.taskbar.lists.recent.enabled
## browser.taskbar.lists.tasks.enabled

Firefox loads, icon is on task bar but when clicked the graphics slide off to the right but don't fill the screen & when clicked again, falls back into the icon

Firefox, Thunderbird & Quicken were active when I loadad & ran a slot machine game. When I exited the game & clicked the icon to return Firefox to full screen, I could see the image flash off to the right side of my monitor screen and disappear. When I again clicked on the icon in the task bar, the reverse happened- the image flashed from the right down to the icon. When I hover the mouse pointer over the icon, the open screens show up with the red X to close but the same thing happens when I click on that box. The other two programs that were open while the game was active are working fine, only Firefox has been affected. I cannot open the program to access any of the menu items as I cannot get the screen image on the monitor. I did uninstall the program and reinstall a freshly downloaded copy I had to use IE, as I am now) but with the same results when I run it. I did chose to save my settings so if something has been changed there then that might be the problem.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Firefox always opens a new window when i click the icon on my task bar...this is new and I would like it to say in the same window How?

I have a firefox icon on my task bar. Before this latest install, I would click the icon and Firefox would come up directly. Now it opens another firefox window. I don't want this. How can I change it back?

Click on the spotlight icon in the top right of your screen (looks like a magnifying glass), type
Terminal
and press 'return'.
In the window that opens up, paste or type this exactly into the window
killall Finder; killall Dock
(that's case sensitive) and press 'return'.
You'll notice the Dock disappear for a second or two then return, as do any open Finder windows.
Test using Finder as normal. Same problem?

Bad icon in Applications Folder -- Good item on task bar

I installed Firefox. Dragged Firefox logo to applications folder, but what is displayed is a different logo, with a white circle, and a slash through the circle (like the red slashed circle over a car to symbolize "no parking" on a street sign). When I dragged that logo to the task bar, the correct Firefox logo appears on the task bar, but in my applications folder, the strange logo is still there. Not sure if this means that there is a problem with Install -- no error messages were displayed during install.

See [[/questions/883573]]
* Delete the Firefox icon from the dock.
* Create a new icon by dragging the Firefox application to the dock.
