Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • I use Firefox 'Most Visited' for easy access to the websites I use every day. I inadvertently clicked 'Forget About This Site' on a page that I need. That page is gone, apparently permanently, from my 'Most Visted' list. How can I get it back?

    I use Firefox 'Most Visited' to access websites I use many times every day. I inadvertently clicked 'Forget About This Site' on a page listing that I need. That page is gone, apparently permanently, from my 'Most Visited' list. No matter how many times I re-visit the page, it will not show up on 'Most Visited'. How can I get it back? Thanks!

    Most Visited is an automatically generated list that shows sites that you've visited.<br />
    If you delete the history of a site then you have with a visit count of zero.<br />
    To make that site reappear in that you you will have to visit that site often enough to make the visit count match the other sites in that list or clear the history from other sites in that list.
    You can make the Visit Count column visible in the History Manager to see how many times you've visit sites.

    Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    See:
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    You can create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Creating a profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
    Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
    If that helps then you most likely have some security software that isn't working properly.

  • I updated to Firefox 3.6.13 and now have no Web page previews/thumbnails when I open a new tab - how do I get them back?

    Whenever I opened a new tab with older versions of Firefox 3.6.n, I would see thumbnails of some of the pages I'd visited before. I love this feature, but I do not know how to restore it after downloading and installing FF 3.6.13. What do I need to do to get this feature back? Is there a possible conflict with another add-on or toolbar? I have these toolbars: Google, The Free Dictionary, and Amazon.com. (The plug-ins you can see below.) Incidentally, the Firefox version displayed in the "educated guesses" section is not correct: it shows 3.0.11 and using the Help menu and choosing About Mozilla Firefox, it displays 3.6.13.

    Google Toolbar Options, in the Search tab, make sure that '''Enable the Google new tab page''' is check-marked. If that doesn't fix it for you, see this for support information about the Google Toolbar. <br />
    [http://www.google.com/support/toolbar/?hl=en] <br />
    Or visit the Google Toolbar forum. <br />
    [http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Toolbar?hl=en]
    As far as your UserAgent showing Firefox 3.0.11, see this: <br />
    https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Websites+or+add-ons+incorrectly+report+incompatible+browser
    You might want to consider getting rid of that '''desktopsmiley''' program that has messed up your UserAgent, it is known as Malware.

  • Please Help, Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3, Top tool bar disappears-File, Edit, View, ETC missing at full screen. How do I get it back?

    When i have the window at full screen, my top portion of the tool bar dissapears. I have checked all settings but unable to get it back. What do I do? Thanks 

    The menu bar is hidden in fullscreen mode, as is the Dock (I assume that's what you mean by "the bottom toolbar").  That is normal, and that is how it has always worked for as long as fullscreen mode has existed (which isn't very long yet).  If you want those things to remain visible, you have to exit fullscreen mode.  Put your mouse at the top of the screen, so the menu bar appears, and then click the blue rectangle with arrows at the far right side of the menu bar.

  • I accidentally deleted the awesome bar. How do I get it back? Also, is there a way to bring my bookmarks from explorer into firefox? Thank you.

    I downloaded firefox to replace explorer. When I did, I accidentally removed the awesome bar. How do I get it back?
    Also, I would like to bring over all of my bookmarks from explorer. Is that possible?
    Thank you.

    In Firefox 3.6 and later on Windows you can hide the "Menu Bar" via "View > Toolbars" or via the right-click context menu on 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).

  • Updated Firefox on my mac; now it cannot open, fear have lost all my bookmarks. How do I get it back?!

    Fire fox has always been my preferred browser. I received a message that i needed to update Firefox. I did this and moved the icon to my application file as shown; noting only one of two steps was completed. there was no opportunity to do anything else. I opened it by clicking that i agreed it was an application from the internet. It worked that afternoon. I then turned off my computer, and now the old and the new mozilla firefox icons will not work. I have all my bookmarks on Firefox and need to use it constantly while I work; how do I get it back?!

    You calendar info should also be mirrored on your computer. Use the option to replace all events on the iPod with the info on your computer during the next sync. You can find this option in the info pane, Advanced section.
    You can also use the latest backup to restore from, it contains the calendar info as well: iTunes: About iOS backups

  • Vpn icon no longer works after automatic firefox update. How do I get connection back?

    Weight Watchers Connections icon changes to some other browser page after Firefox updates itself. How do I get settings back?

    Firefox 32 and later builds store the passwords in the logins.json file in the profile folder and no longer use the signons.sqlite file.
    If you still have the signons.sqlite file that was used in Firefox 31 and older then you could try to recover the passwords saved in that file (you will lose passwords saved in Firefox 32).
    You can force Firefox to reimport the passwords from the signons.sqlite file.
    * reset the <b>signon.importedFromSqlite</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page to the default value via the right-click context menu
    * delete the <b>logins.json</b> file in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed
    When you restart Firefox then you should have the signon.importedFromSqlite pref with the value set to true and you should have the passwords imported in the Password Manager unless there may have been errors.
    You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)

    My Firefox menu button has disappeared. Why? How can I get it back? Without it I don't know how to get to my FTP. I never did anything to make this happen.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).
    Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily if the Menu Bar is hidden.

    Drag the Safari icon straight up and off the Dock so it goes, "poof" ...
    Now click and hold the Safari app in the Applications folder and drag that to the Dock.
    See if you can open a webpage in Safari.

    If you bought them on your iPad then you will need to connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to the Tones part of your computer's iTunes library and you can then sync them to your iPhone - ringtones are a one-time only download, so you won't be able to redownload them directly on your phone.
