Mac osx 10.6.7 FF4 - menu bar becomes unresponsive even apple menu, FF has to be terminated to regain access

menu bar of osx 10.6.7 becomes unresponsive, no way to access any pull down menu not even the apple menu, as long as FF4 is active. Hiding it and recalling FF to the front doesn't cure the problem. FF has to be terminated with cmd+Q or from the Dock. FF remains itself responsive, tabs can still be shifted and sites called.

First thing I'd do is update the OS to 10.6.8. There are bugs in 10.6.6 and 10.6.7, that's why Apple releases updates.

  • Hi I have a mac mini with my TV as a display. MY display includes the taskbar but no menu bar, how do I see menu bar???

    HI
    I have a mac mini with my TV as a display. My display includes the taskbar but no menu bar, how do I see menu bar???

    Make sure you are using a 1080p capable TV.   Some TVs have pixel level video ratio adjustment.  Sometimes that can force the menubar to be visible if it is the only display connected to the machine. Sometimes you have to go to your hard drive's Applications -> System Preferences -> Displays and drag the white bar on top of the display's representation to the other display.  You can only have one primary display with menubar.
    Lastly, for non-1080p capable displays, DisplayConfigX or SwitchResX offer pixel level adjustments through software.

  • Firefox is hanging after trying to update Adobe Flash. I can't fix it as long as Firefox is open, but I'm unable to close it-menu bar won't even appear.

    In the process of updating Adobe Flash, Firefox froze. It registers as being open, and none of the fixes I've tried will work as long as it's open, but I can't close it. Even when I click on the Firefox icon, the Firefox menu bar doesn't appear. No Firefox window appears.

    Good advice - I'll keep that in mind. Thanks

  • In FF29.0 bookmarks on the menu bar stop working correctly after exiting 'Customize': has anyone else noticed this?

    Shortly after installing FF29.0 I noticed that the bookmarks menu from the 'Menu Bar' - NOT the new one that appears on the right of the screen - was not working correctly: specifically, when right-clicking on a bookmark to look for 'Open in a New tab' all the options were greyed out and I now realize that this occurs after exiting the 'Customize' screen, which effect I have consistently duplicated several times now; to restore functionality I have on each occasion had to close and re-open Firefox. This error does not appear to occur with the new bookmark menu that is associated with the bookmark icon at the top right of the screen. Has anyone else noticed this error?
    (Personally, I prefer the bookmark menu from the menu bar, which incidentally I find easier to read than the new one and I like menu bars anyway.)
    Many thanks.

    Thank you for your input. If you have more input on the new features please check out [input.mozilla.org]

  • Occassionally when I visit a website, the menu bar becomes gray and hard to read, being restored only bt minimizing and restore.

    Occasionally I have noticed that the menu bar appears a hard to read gray. This seems to occur after a visit to accuweaher.com.. It is reproducible even though both the foreground and background menu bars for the desktop are set to black.

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

  • Top menu bar becomes blotchy on my macbook air

    When the computer is fresh from start up the top menu bar of my macbook air is fine but as soon as I open any applications such as Safari, the menu bar goes blotchy as if it has some shadowy effect on the words.
    It started happening just yesterday and my air is pretty new- like a little more than a month old?

    You may try this applescript program.
    log "  --- Starting on " & ((current date) as string) & " --- "
    -- percent
    set volume output volume 35 without output muted
    Start the AppleScript Editor
    /Applications/AppleScript/Script Editor.app
    In Snow Leopard it's at: /Applications/Utilities/AppleScript Editor
    Copy the script text to the Applescript editor.
    Save the text to a file as an application and do not check any of the boxes below.
    If you want access to the script from your Script Menu, move the script (the saved script application file) to your
    ~/Library/Scripts folder. You can also drag it to your Dock or make an alias for it on the Desktop.<br><br>
    To debug, run the script within the Applescript Editor. Click on the event log tab at the bottom of the window. Click  on the run icon.  The results from the log statement will be shown at the bottom of the screen.

  • Cannot click bookmarks on menu bar after ALT-key when menu bar is hidden

    If you personalize the toolbars, dock the "Bookmarks objects" to the menu bar (useful to reduce space) and hide the menu bar (making it visible by pressing the ALT key) you're not able to click a bookmarks bar's item anymore because (after having shown it by pressing ALT key) as you click the bookmark button the menu bar loses focus causing the whole bar to be hidden again and the click event to be catched by the main window instead of the bookmark button.
    [http://alextm.no-ip.com/bookmarks_on_menubar.JPG Screenshot of the header with bookmarks]

    With F10 you obtain the same result, the menu bar is shown but when you click on a non-menu item the bar is hidden again not allowing the bookmark item to catch the click event.
    Of course I know how to move the bookmarks bar back to the tab bar, but it is not a solution to the problem I've posted, just a workaround. As I've said in my previous post I've moved the bookmarks bar there to limit the height of the window's heading section: if I move it down again I miss my target.
    Anyway, I don't think we are here to decide wherever to place the bookmarks bar, but to notify to the developers the presence of this issue.

  • Menu Bar Items Covered by Word Menu Bar

    There are 18 icons in the menu bar in the Finder, the 7 on the left hand side being applications I use the most. But I can't get access to them when Word 2004 is open because its own menu bar hides them from view, and they are things I need when using Word. They will not move as some of the icons do, so I cannot place them further over toward the right and put less used ones on the left. Is there a solution?

    Sorry, I believe you're talking about the Dock and not the Finder's menu bar. Word's window should be resizable so it doesn't interfere with the Dock's icons. Please clarify the situation.

  • Sim icon in menu bar showing "No SIM" in menu on MPB. How to remove?

    In my menu bar I've got a strange icon showing simcard with exclamation mark. When I click it, it shows tiny menu with "No SIM".
    I don't know where it came from and how to get rid of it.
    I've removed old mobile phones with modems from list of my bluetooth devices, and removed all mobiles in Networking preferences.
    I don't have any peripherals connected that could use SIM. I never had any mobile broadband modems and don't recall installing such software.
    Where this icon comes from and how can I get rid of it?

    I can't tell you where it comes from, but in general you can remove icons from the right part of the menu bar by holding a "command" key down while you drag the icon down out of the menu bar.

  • Apple mail 5.2 Mac OSx 10.7.4 takes 120 secs to send even 1 word email? How can I fix this?

    Apple mail 5.2 Mac OSx 10.7.4 takes more than 3 minutes to send even 1 word email? How can I fix this?

    You may get an answer here at the Mountain Lion discussion, but I'd suggest Lion folks are more likely hanging out at the Lion discussion page:
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.7_lion
    A little more info would be helpful- when did this start, ever able to send in a timely manner, etc.
    Good luck.

  • The menu bar at the top of the page has vanished, this contains , bookmark, view etc

    A new PC and loaded firefox and the bar was there, when restarting the PC the bar had vanished, and does reappear

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

  • When NOT using icons on the toolbar, side-bar drop-down for additional toolbar items has disappeared with Firefox 4 and accessing these items requires clicking 'Bookmarks', then 'Show all bookmarks' then 'Toolbar'--ugh, what a pain.

    On older versions of Firefox, Toolbar links ran across the top of my screen, with a drop-down to the far right which would show additional Toolbar items for which there was not room on the screen.
    With Firefox 4, if I'm not using icons (text only), the dedicated Toolbar drop-down is gone and I have to first click 'Bookmarks' to the right of the Toolbar ribbon, then 'Show All Bookmarks', then 'Toolbar' in order to access my additional Toolbar links. Could anyone have made it any harder?
    Why doesn't someone just restore the drop-down at the far right of the Toolbar so that all of my Toolbar items (which I prefer to keep separately from the regular Bookmark items, else I would have just plain bookmarked those items in the first place) are readily accessible?

    You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden (View > Toolbars > Customize or right-click a toolbar).<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 only see the Bookmarks menu button if the Menu bar is hidden.

  • Unable to connect mac OSX 10.4.11 to wireless network (virgin media) even though iPad, iPhone and laptop ok.  Get message 'password incorrect' even though it works with other devices.  Keep getting message connect to BT unrestricted access.

    Keep getting 'do I want to connect to BT unrestricted network' which I have never used before.  I can get my ISP details input but get message 'incorrect password' even though it works with 3 other devices. My network provider, Virgin Media, sent an engineer but he couldn't solve the problem - said network was all ok so problem must be with my iMac (OSX 10.4.11).  When I try to use internet I get BTWiFi is current wireless network - I've never used this! I've tried to change this and virgin media details are accepted, it's just the password stage that prevents me from connecting. I am not very knowledgeable with computers so I really need a step by step guide to solve this problem.  PLEASE HELP!!!

    Excuse me barging in on the thread, but I have a lot of experience with Telus, and roaming with my BlackBerry (currently a Z10).  In short, you've been fed some outdated info by the Telus rep. Telus has become very Android-centric, and it seems like a good number of Telus CSR's are still reading from a Legacy BlackBerry trouble-shooting guide.
    My Z10 is unlocked, and I periodically use an AT&T sim when traveling in the US.  I have never had to change an email setting to get full email function -- including the SMTP settings.  To put it simply, your device first connects to a network using credentials provided.  At most hotels, for instance, your device will scan for and pick up a WiFi network.  The hotel will tell you the WiFi network name and give you a password to use.  You simply enter the password when prompted, then you may have to agree to certain conditions.  That's it.
    Your email settings are just that.  Using whichever network to which you are connected, the user name and password give you access.  The settings coincide with the email provider's server settings.  These don't typically change with the location from which you are connecting.
    I'd suggest you take a look at this very helpful email settings tool provided by BlackBerry, if you are having difficulty:  http://helpblog.blackberry.com/2013/03/email-account-validation-tool/
    It helps you determine the possible settings for connecting to your email provider.  Different providers offer different connection options, sometimes more than one.  Opinions vary, but my preference in descending order is:  ActiveSync, IMAP, then POP if required.  ActiveSync (aka EAS) and IMAP will offer 2-way sync.
    Take a look at the tool and pop a message back here if you have any questions.  Good luck. ~ecm

  • FF 7.0.1 on Mac OSX 10.6.8: I sometimes get the "unresponsive script" dialog box in the top left corner of the screen, so far out that I can see only the bottom right corner of the dialog box. Is there any way of re-centring it?

    FF 7.0.1 on MacOSX 10.6.8 (not this machine!): I sometimes get the "unresponsive script" dialog box jammed into the top left corner of the screen so that only a quarter of it is visible.
    Is there a way of re-centring the dialog box (in particular, when its top edge is off the screen)?
    Thanks!

    There is no way to preserve view preferences.Just remember or annotate the zoom % used in the package.
    You may want to open an MS Connect item asking to add such a feature.
    I can tell you it may not be implemented because a package may be opened on different size monitors.
