Latest download creates problems in tool bar and messages

After computer automatically updates latest from Thunderbird, I discover that right hand clicking of mouse on any item within Thunderbird email (including the tool bar) gives me a blurred pic of my whole email page. I cannot save, move, highlight, delete, tag, junk anything on Thunderbird emails. I also discovered that doing a systems restore before the update, puts all the emails and abilities back to normal. What is in the latest update from Thunderbird that is so destructive to my email page and how can I avoid updates?
Kindest regards
Marg

The latest Thunderbird is 31.4.0
TRy this:
Make hidden files and folders visible:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders

* ''' Close thunderbird now - this is important '''
look for and delete these files.
* session.json
* localstore.rdf
Close window - top right X
Restart Thunderbird.
'''RE: Updates'''

Tools > Options > Advanced > Update tab
select: Check for updates. but let me choose whether to install them
or
Never check for updates (not recommended security risk)
click on OK to close and save changes.

I downloaded the web developer tool bar and after using it my images are gone. I use google and a home page and the big google is gone. I uninstalled firefox and reinstalled it but I still don't have any images. How can I get them back?

Two days ago I downloaded the web developer tool bar (aus2.mozilla.com). I tried to use it but gave up. I deleted the tool bar.
I don't have any images anymore. I use Google.com as my home page (default) and the large GOOGLE isn't there anymore. I've also noticed some of the sites I use don't have the continue or next or enter keys anymore. It seems the only thing I have now is the text.

Are you sure you are looking at the Google page?? In Firefox 4.0 the default homepage / Start Page in Firefox was changed to '''about:home''' which looks a lot like the former www.google.com/firefox homepage.

Downloaded iobit tool Bar and it locks up firfox can not do anything

I down loaded iobit tool bar and it made it through. but now whne I open Firefox, everything stops. I then uninstalled firefox, rebooted and the same thing happens. Also had to use a revo to uninstall firefox. At this point I can not use Mozilla. My only option is to use Internet explorer

Yeah I'm seeing this as well. A force quit and relaunch seems to solve the problem for a while.
IMHO the app has just gone downhill in the last few years. Useful tools like browser history from the back button are hidden / rendered useless (click and hold doesn't work so well from a track pad), and it's performance just isn't what it used to be.

Downloaded Mt Lion Yesterday and my Tool bar has disappeared. I can still access the individual tools but cannot see my header. I used 'help' and did what it suggested. slected 'hide tool bar' and then 'show toolbar'. I also restarted etc.

Good point BDAqua, the Escape key helps get me back to reality in Lion.
While I've only dabbled around a little in Lion since it's release (I upgraded a 10.6 Clone to Lion on one of my FireWire Drives) now I'm currently downloading Mountain Lion (to upgrade a Clone of that Lion Clone) so that now I can continue to move forward in madness.
P.S. Trust me, I'm not laughing.

Why is it every single time i download something, it disapppears off of the download tool bar, and I have to maunally search for it?

== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

I lost my bottom tool bar and the apps I was running down there. I need to have it back but your update removed something that I use.

I have run a Hebrew calendar that sits in the bottom tool bar. I have used this calendar and rely on it, but your Firefox 5 update has removed the bottom tool bar and I want my Hebrew calendar restored. What good is updating a piece of software that works by creating something that does not work? I will stop using and stop recommending my end users to switch to Firefox if you keep removing parts that are needed.
I am help desk support for a large federal government agency and until you broke Firefox with this latest update, I would suggest that my users switch to Firefox, but unless this bug is fixed I will stop doing that.

Does the Add-on Bar have a check-mark?

I can't get my tool bar to get the return arrow or the forward arrow so i can browse. i have to quit the browser and start all over again everytime i go to another site and want to return. not on tool bar and get it on.

''Duplicate post, continue here - [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/787149]''
second time i have had to go through this, so here goes, i can't get the return or forward buttons on the tool bar and can't return to the website i am in have to quit the web site altogether and restart the firefox after viewing any site, as i have no return arrows or forward buttons on the toolbar.

In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

I accidently unmarked the book marks tool bar, the tool bar and the menu bar how do i get them back ?becaus now only the tabs are visible and i cant access my features or book marks

i was getting to know my firefox so i accidentally unmarked the menu bar the book marks tool bar and the tool bar. so now only my tabs are visible and i cant get to any of my add-ons or extensions.
and even surfing the net has become difficult cause there is almost nothing i can do with a new empty tab.
how can i get these bars back. i tried taking the cursor up to the thin line above the tabs and the window border but the menu to mark the above mentioned features does not appear any more.
i tried restarting firefox several times but it didn't work. i even uninstalled and completely downloaded a new version of firefox and installed it but the problem still persists.
i am operations system is windows XP.

Firefox 3.6+ versions have a feature to allow the user to hide the Menu bar.
Hit the '''Alt''' key to temporarily show the Menu bar, then open View > Toolbars and select Menu bar, so it has a check-mark. 
The F10 can also be used on most PC's to temporarily reveal the Menu bar.

Rightclick a bookmark on the Bookmarks Tool Bar and click Properties

If I right click a bookmark on the Bookmarks Tool Bar and click properties Firefox freezes and I don't get the properties. Is this a known issue?

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See:
* [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

I want to unload Yahoo tool bar and go back to firefox tool bar but cannot pull up a "tool bar" it is missing as well as the back icon My book marks are apparently in the firefox format and I cannot access them

I want to restore firefox tool bars so I can have the back icon and my bookmarks accessable. I now have Yahoo tool bar and it does not show file, tools, edit, etc.

'''''"does not show file, tools, edit, etc."''''': That is the Menu Bar; see below
'''Can't see the Menu Bar''' (File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help)?
Turning the Menu Bar on and off is a new feature in version 3.6.

''Windows'' Method 1. '''''Hold down''''' the key and press the following letters in this exact order: V T M then release the key
''Windows'' Method 2. Tap once on the F10 key, while the Menu bar is visible, choose "View > Toolbars", click "Menu Bar" so that a check mark is placed next to Menu Bar
''Windows'' Method 3. Tap once and release the key. The Menu Bar will be displayed; then choose ~~red:V~~iew > ~~red:T~~oolbars and click on ~~red:M~~enu Bar so that a check mark is placed next to Menu Bar
The Menu Bar should now be displayed permanently, unless you turn it off again using View > Toolbars. Check mark = displayed, NO check mark = not displayed.

Tool bar, and everything else is gone, how do i get it back?

When i open illustrator the tool bar and everything else is gone, only the top menu is still there, i tried to activate tool bar under window menu, but that option is also gone.
I tried to use tab key, but it does not work either.
Anyone knows what to do?

Now what I told you is so, this is what is causing this and you will either make the effort to understand or you will not solve the problem.
You did try to make an alias and you goofed up, that is correct you made mistake, this is user error.
That is the first thing you have to accept if you cannot so be it, but I will never try to assist you again.
This is the problem I can easily reproduce as I know what you did.
Here take a look, does this look familiar.
Does the icon on the left look familiar?
That is the application outside of the Adobe Illustrator folder.
That's correct you moved it either on purpose or by mistake outside of the folder
and that is why the two of you do not have menu items and tools.
Now the way to fix this is the way I wrote before and this is user error.
And I have met other users on the forum who could not admit they made a mistake before as well.
I am writing this actually for users who really want help and have no problems admitting the did something in error.
I have nothing else to say about this

Setting up "Download Create PDF Desktop Tool"

I am setting up "download create PDF desktop tool" from Acrobat.com. When I reach the configure internet port pop-up, it tells I do not have access to the printer - try a different username or password.
I am using the only user name and password I know.

Hi MosheS,
Since you have a PDF Pack subscription, you can create PDF files either via the web interface at cloud.acrobat.com, or from within Adobe Reader. But regardless of where you create the PDFs, they are stored in your online Acrobat.com account (but you may download them to your computer, of course). You can access them by logging in to cloud.acrobat.com.
If you're still having trouble converting files or setting up the PDF Desktop Printer, I am happy to help you here. Or, if would like to talk to someone, you can find the contact info here: Acrobat.com
Best,
Sara

Adobe Reader display page and text in tool bar and options too large. How can this be reduced?

My Adobe Reader (ver. XI) page for viewing and manipulating docs and the text in tool bar and menus is too large and I cannot reduce its size. I cannot add but a few functions on the tool bar without them reverting to the drop down. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe XI and that has not helped. Do not have this problem with other software so I know its not the resolution settings of computer.
Any way to reduce the size of the "viewing page" and its text? I can change the size of the doc I am viewing but not the items of the page that displays the doc.
Thanks.

Maybe this will help: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/hi-dpi-retina-display-support.html

There is a frequent flashing above my tool bar and sometimes a flashing black box appears over my Yahoo news. How do I make it Stop??b

There is a bright flashing light over my tool bar and sometimes a flashing black box appears over the Yahoo news. I tried Reset Firefox and that didn't work. I then uninstalled and re-installed Firefox and I still have the seizure inducing flashing lights.
When I switch to Internet Explorer I do NOT have this problem. Please help me because I do not want to go back to IE.
Thanks

In case this is caused by Firefox 33 being incompatible with your graphics card/chipset driver software, could you test for a while in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions, hardware acceleration, and some other advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?
You can disable hardware acceleration for all modes in the Options dialog.
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
This takes effect the next time you exit Firefox and start it up again.
