Just started using firefox seriously. my user interface does not look like the one in the 'tour'. please help
i downloaded firefox a long time ago but havent used it extensively because i liked chrome. but recently chrome is just too difficult and if there is an issue i cant speak to anyone. so i am trying firefox. i went to take the user interface tour and there is suppose to be a button on the right hand side to help with bookmarks but my 'version' doesnt have that. was wondering how i get that and if i may have the wrong version.
also....i cant seem to find where to turn autofill on and right now its not working except with the occasional email address.
and one more thing....all streaming videos...tv, utube, art instruction..trailers...all get chunked up. nothing ever runs smoothly. and i am paying to get good download speed.
i would appreciate any help on these three issues.
thank you

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

My interface -- buttons (back, forward, reload), firefox tab, groups, etc. -- does not look like the sample on your "firefox features" page. ("Groups" seems not to function at all.) I'm running the current firefox 4 download on Windows XP. Can you help?

Thank you for your swift reply. I don't know that this has helped me, as I've reached my level of tolerance for fooling with this annoying little problem - for today anyway. It has been going on since I "up" graded to Firefox 4. My wife is running 3.6.x on her laptop with none of this foolishness. As BLASPHEMOUS as it may sound, I've gone back to IE for the time being even though I don't like it 1000th as much as I do Firefox.
Not just to rant here, I would say that I found a way to put some buttons on the right side of the toolbar that immediately gave me permission to "back, forward, and reload", but upon closing the browser and going out for dinner with the wife, I find on return that not only are those buttons NOT still on the toolbar, but I can't find them anymore. I think they were in "add-ons" found under I believe Add-On Manager.
I did also manage to achieve back/forward functionality running Firefox in SAFE mode, but this meant no No-Script, among other things, and I've grown too fond of that particular little script to give it up.
I've rebooted, restored, and reinstalled, can't get this formerly completely reliable program to work like it always has. Before looking around on here, I was beginning to think it was my PC.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP, cor-el. I'm going to see if I can get on live chat on Monday.

when installed the page doesnt look like one that helps you in setup support - i dont have orange firefox tab upper left nothing is the same and very irritating trying to follow your suggestions nothing works
Also make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Command+Shift+F).
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-to-use-full-screen
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible.
*Firefox menu button > Options
*View > Toolbars (press F10 to display the hidden Menu bar)
*Right-click empty toolbar area
Use Toolbar Layout (Customize) to open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.
*check that "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
*if "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette into the Customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
*if missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar setup

I just started using Firefox version 26 official today. I noticed that after downloading any file Firefox is not performing security scan. Earlier version always did. Does FF26 do security scan at the time of downloading itself? or security scan has been removed from the Firefox 26? i like the new UI of Firefox but i am security conscious.
You can check the <b>browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page and if necessary reset this pref via the right-click context menu to the default value.

My Firefox does not look like the Firefox shown in your tutorials
Going through the tutorials and help sections, the Firefox page shown does not match the one that I have. There is no Firefox button, the menu below the Mozilla logo is the "File Edit View...." menu. So the directions I am getting from the tutorials and Help sections can't be followed.
I just downloaded Firefox, installed it, and checked for updates, which Firefox found and installed. I am now at 19.0.2
I am running Windows 7 on a Lenovo Thinkpad. WIndows just updated.
Am I running the latest version of Firefox? Why doesn't my version look like the help pages?hello, you can go to the ''view ''menu > ''toolbars'' & un-check the menu-bar - then you should get the default look.

My Firefox 4.0 does not look anything like the videos you show about the features of the new Firefox. My screen looks totally different than yours. It does not have the orange box in the upper left hand corner of the screen. My screen still looks like the old version. I have the logo on the top of my screen with Ask a Question a vertical line Firefox Help - Mozilla Firefox.
Under this line I have File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. Below this line is a tab with Ask a Question Firefox Help and a +. My husbands screen looks identical to the orange Firefox Box in the upper left of screen. I would like my screen to look identical to the ones shown in your videos. I only have one version of Firefox 4.0 my husband does have the Firefox 4.0 plus the Beta version. How do I add the Beta version? I have Windows Vista running systems. Please help. Thank youYou're welcome

My firefox does not look like the new version, why?
I have downloaded the new Firefox but it looks like the old version. Why?
You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden, so you need to hide the Menu bar via View > Toolbars, also accessible via Firefox > Options.<br />
If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily.<br />
You can place the Tab Bar on top.
* View > Toolbars : [ ] Menu Bar
* View > Toolbars : [X] Tabs on Top

I just started using Firefox. When I added a bookmark it was alphabatized and now when i add a bookmark it is added randomly
hello scarsman, i think by default all bookmarks are sorted by their creation date - however you can right-click each folder and choose to sort all currently available entries by name. in the bookmark library you can click on any column (name, tag, last visit date, visit count, date added, etc...) to sort them as you want...

I just installed Adobe CreatePDF desktop printer on a Windows 7 home PC. When I try to use from Word or EWxcel, it does not print. The Adobe print device queue reports an "error" in the status column.
Adobe retired this Feb 17, 2014.
This app sent content to and got content from the web based services of "CreatPDF" and "PDF Pack".
These are subscription services out in "the cloud". When the app was live you had to be online and signed into your account. The user forum for CreatePDF has a DOC that speaks to the app removal.

User Interface does not load SRP527W
Hi,
Apologises if this question has been asked before.
We have a SRP527W router, and for some odd reason the web interface does not load.
The device has been reset to factory defaults countless number of times and sometimes I can get in but than once you save something you cant get back in.
I have completed the following steps
1. Tested via multiple browsers, (Firefox, Chrome & IE)
2. Reset router to factory defaults
3. Router can be pinged on 192.168.15.1
4. Installed Firefox extention to test with previous IE versions
5. When I managed to get into the router, I ran a restore with a backup config that worked
6. Telnet function is blocked but dont have the ssh details. (tried: admin admin, admin password, cisco cisco, cisco password)
7. add http://192.168.15.1 to the safe list
The odd thing is sometimes the web interface loads and sometimes i just get a blank page.
Any suggestions?You are welcome
Now that you are able to login, either move or delete enough files to get at least 10 GB free, 15 would be better.
A tool to help with that is OmniDiskSweeper.

Hello,
Can a domain user
that does not belong to the Administrators group,
be able to change your password ?
I tried to create a domain user account
without administrative access. This user account have
permission to access Windows Server
2012 via Remote Desktop.
I tried to access the same account
to the Active Directory Users and Computers,
i was amazed, because the user account it can changed
the password for multiple accounts,
included one administrator account.
Best regards,
RicardoHi Ricardo,
I agree with Martin, we can check the membership about this user account. Besides, we can refer to following steps to check the memberships:
Start the ADUC on windows 2012.
Right-click the user account and select
Properties, then click the Member Of tab.
Check which group is the user account belongs to.
In addition, i suggest you create a new user account, and check if the new account can change other user’s password.
Best Regards,

I am running Windows 7 Professional and am not adept at using the Windows platform. Firefox on my computer does not look the way it is shown at specific "Help" topic pages, so I can't get the help needed. Three examples: 1. How to click on a link so it opens in a new tab; 2. How to customize the options; 3. How to get rid of the "Ask" web site window.
On Windows, you can switch between a classic menu bar and a compact menu opened with an orange button with the word Firefox.
You can switch between these using one of these methods:
* right-click a blank area of the tab bar and turn Menu Bar on or off
* View menu > Toolbars > Menu Bar
* orange Firefox button > Options triangle > Menu Bar
Does that help?
To get to the tab preferences, you can do this:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Tabs
To remove the Ask toolbar, you can go here:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
You might still have to do a little cleanup after removing an extension, if it changed your home page, new tab page, search provider, etc. Please describe any remaining problems in more detail.
Hope this helps.
