Menus do not appear (via menubar, bookmark toolbar or right-clicking)

I just noticed the other day that my menus are no longer appearing in Firefox. I can see the File, Edit, etc. menu bar, but clicking on the word File does nothing. Pressing Alt+F also does nothing. Right-clicking in a web page doesn't show the usual popup menu. Clicking on things in the toolbars (like bookmark folders) don't show the menus.
I tried running in safe mode, but there is no change. I tried creating a brand new profile but the behaviour is still the same. Most of the troubleshooting steps recommend to disable acceleration, but I don't think this applies - for a start they all say to go to the Tools menu and I can't do this, but opening about:config there doesn't seem to be anything relevant in gfx.*
When I launch Firefox from the Linux command line, it says this a dozen or so times:
(firefox:5116): GConf-WARNING **: Client failed to connect to the D-BUS daemon:
Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
However this is nothing new - it has always worked before.
dbus appears to be running:
$ ps -A | grep dbus
690 ? 00:00:00 dbus-daemon
1173 tty1 00:00:00 dbus-launch
1174 ? 00:00:00 dbus-daemon
What's going on? Why have my menus stopped working??

Thanks for the response!
It's via my distribution's repositories. 64-bit. I just downloaded the version from your link above (14.0.1), which turned out to be 32-bit, and there's no change. I don't get any D-Bus errors on load (only some complaints that a 64-bit plugin was the wrong ELF class and couldn't be loaded), but I still can't make any menus appear. I also tried downloading Aurora (16.0a2) with the same result.
The system requirements should be fine as I have been running Firefox on this machine since I bought it a few years ago, and being quad core with 8GB RAM it should be well above the minimum specs needed.
I'm thinking it's a bug that has been introduced somewhere along the way. Any ideas how I can troubleshoot?

Option to create new folder on bookmarks toolbar by right-clicking is missing

The title says it all. This option has been available forever and recently it has gone missing -- it is not listed in the context menu. I can still create new folders that appear on the bookmarks toolbar by going to:
Bookmarks-->"Show All Bookmarks" and then right-clicking on the "Bookmarks Toolbar" heading
The right-click option is still available there. But it is also missing when I go to Bookmarks and right-click on "Bookmarks Toolbar". The option is listed in the context menu but it is greyed out.
I have not made any changes to FF in recent memory, although I do not pay much attention to automatic updates. This is not urgent. It was just a convenient option and it has disappeared for no apparent reason.

Thanks. That had some effect. The option to create a new folder is no longer greyed out in the context menu when I navigate to:
Bookmarks-->"Bookmarks Toolbar"
and right click on the latter. However, the action does not work and the option is still missing from the context menu of the bookmarks toolbar itself.

If you have accidentally removed bookmarks then use "Organize > Undo" in the bookmarks manager (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) to get them back. 
The Organize button is the first of the three buttons on the toolbar in the Library (Bookmarks Manager). 
That only works if you haven't closed Firefox.

Bookmarks do not appear in the Bookmarks Toolbar

My Bookmarks toolbar is blank - there are sites in the folder.... I've just upgraded to Firefox 7. How can I get these bookmarks to show in the tool bar?
(They do show when the sidebar is open, but I want them at the top as I had them.)

Have you turned on the display of the bookmarks toolbar ?
* Use '''View -> Toolbars -> Bookmarks toolbar'''
* or Firefox Button -> Options -> Bookmarks toolbar
Note if you press keyboard key '''Alt''' it will temporarily display the menubar toolbar, or move the mouse pointer there.

Run time prompts not appearing when launching BR from a right click menu

Hi!
I have a problem when trying to launch a business rule from a right click menu which is assigned to a dataform.
The rule launches but does not show/ask for the run time prompts as it should do. The run-time prompts should not be hidden (I checked also Eas and data form selections).
When using the rule form the Tools-Business Rules menu, the rule works fine. It prompts for the required variables and as they are filled in, the rule does what it is expected to.
Also, when using the same rule attached into a form (and selected "use members on form"&"run on save") the rule works correctly.
We are using version 11.1.2.1.
I already have tried restarting Planning services but without success.
What might cause this?
kind regards,
user637777

Hi!
I found out from the Oracle knowledge base:
This issue is caused by unpublished Bug 11064867 - RIGHT CLICK MENUS NOT RENDERING RUN TIME PROMPTS
In version 931 run time prompts worked correctly when launching them from a right click menu, I checked this out.
In our current version I got this working (this is kind of a workaround) by adding a new RTP variable (using the same dimension as the original RTP variable). This way I got the rule to "ask for more information" (like what were you asking for? ) and not running the rule without interruptions. This instruction was given in Oracle support (knowledge base).
kind regards,

I am running Firefox 3.6.13 on MacOS X 10.6.6 and cannot edit bookmarks saved under folders on the bookmarks toolbar, by right clicking on them.

This problem concerns the bookmarks I have saved under folders that are visible in the Bookmarks Toolbar just under the URL window on Firefox. On my firefox browser in Windows XP I can expand one of these folders, right click on a bookmark underneath and I get the properties option which allows me to modify the Name or Location of the Bookmark. Unfortunately I cannot do the same on Firefox running on my Macbook Pro.

If it doesn't work with the Bookmarks toolbar then you can try to do it in the Library (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks).

Why can´t I bookmark with Ctrl+D, via the Bookmark-menu or right-click?

When I want to add items to the bookmarks toolbar, for example: -Zoom toolbar. The zoom Toolbar appears on the bookmarks toolbar, but it shows the favicons aswell the underlined text. I only want the favicons. How to do this, please help!!

I want to add items to the bookmarks toolbar. for example: the Zoom Toolbar addon. This works, but not only the favicons appear on the bookmarks toolbar, aswell as the underlined text. How to avoid this?
I only want the favicons from an addon to appear on the bookmarks toolbar, not with the underlined text. How to do this?
This problem doesn't happen with any other toolbar. And this problem didn't happen with an earlier version of firefox. Please Help!
Thanx, BassMann.

If you only want the favicons and not the names of the bookmarks on the bookmarks toolbar, you can do that with the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4072/ Smart Bookmarks Bar] add-on.

Can open a site from bookmarks only by right-clicking and "open in a new tab". Whan's wrong?

Hi.
After some regular updates I can open a site from bookmarks only by right-clicking on it and "open in a new tab". Have this problem also on my PC and a notebook. (Win 7 & Win 8). Didn't add any new add-ons lately, seems like they all work well.
My Mozilla Firefox is ver 31.0
How this problem can be fixed?
Thank you.

hello, the easiest way to find out if the problem might be caused by an interfering addon is to launch firefox in safe mode once...

Right click menus do not appear fully.

'''''italic text'''''Hello, I'm hoping someone can give me some help with a problem I am having with the "right click menu" not appearing completely, does not matter what site or where on the browser I try to get the menu. It makes it very difficult copy and pasting.
I am using the 3.6.19 version (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.19) Gecko/20110707 Firefox/3.6.19). I use this version because it allows me to use the ad-ons that I use every single day like, Roboform and others that at this point will not work with any of the newer browsers.
This problem started about two/three days ago and I'm not sure why it happened or how to correct it. I have not added any new downloads or anything else for that matter. Is there anyone that can help me fix this little annoyance please?

Thanks for the response!

JDeveloper JDEV9i_902 menus do not appear correctly on multi-screen under Windows 200

Using JDeveloper on Windows 2000 via extended desktop with Matrox dual-head support and Windows extended multi-screen support menus in JD are displayed biased towards the primary desktop screen, this behaviour makes using the product quite difficult in this environment.

Nigel,
I've investigated this issue further, and talked to some of our
development staff.
There are three known issues here:
1. regular menus are not right justified if the client is
in the window to the right of the deafult monitor.
2. Dockable windows cannot be freely positioned
3. Context menus sometimes appear on the wrong monitor.
issue #1 is fixed in 1.3.1_04
isses #2 and #3 are not JDK related, and are now fixed in the 9.0.3
builds.
Unfortunately, we do not certify upgrading the JDK to 1.3.1_04 - there
are some other display-related issues that this drop causes, and we can't
risk product destabilization at this stage.
However, I do have a workaround for you for #1.
The issue only occurs if the secondary monitor is placed to the right
of the primary monitor. If you use the windows control panel (right click settings on
desktop) and change the primary monitor, then the problem goes away.
Hope this satisfactorily resolves your dual-head problems.
Karl

Device Synch Menus does not appear in iTunes 11 on Windows 8 PC

My 3rd generation iPod Nano connected to Windows-8 PC and iTunes 11 - Device "Summary" menu does not appear. If you select the <File> menu in iTunes there is an option to "Synch Nano". My iTunes is set to manually manage music on the Nano - because the "Summary" menu does not appear in iTunes it is impossible to select albums to Synch with the Nano.
On the upper right bar there is an eject button for the iPod Nano. This does in fact eject the Nano device and re-appears in iTunes if you disconnect the device then reconnect the iPod Nano.
No other device menus are present in iTunes 11 under Windows-8. The iPod Nano music library also does not appear.
Only the PC based iTunes music library is visible.
Itunes software versions are both current on the Nano and Windows-8 PC.
The computer was deauthorized and then authorized in iTunes.
The Synch History was reset in iTunes Preferences - this did not re-establish the Nano as a device to synch with iTunes. (Typically fixes similar problems)
Resetting nano device by holding Menu after switching unit on/off (Apple Logo Appears then Reboots Nano) makes no difference.
Nano shows as a drive in Windows-8 in "My Computer" and the operating system recognizes the device connection.
No problem ejecting and reconnecting the Nano in Itunes but traditional device menus are gone with the exception of the eject button.
Tested the same iTunes Nano on two other computers with iTunes 11 installed on Windows-7 and Windows XP - works fine. This issue only occurs on Windows-8 computers.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I just updated iTunes today and this seems to be the cause
If you're already at version 11.1.5.5, try the procedure in Cerbu's post:
Re: sync problem
... or try section 5 from the following document:
TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows.

The same folder appears in my Bookmarks Toolbar as it does in my Bookmarks Menu is this supposed to be this way?

Hi,
Thanks in advance for any insight on this matter.
After having issues with a particular folder, I am now wondering if the problem was due to the fact that all of my bookmarks are in the Bookmarks Menu instead of the Bookmarks Toolbar?
Does it make a difference which category of bookmarks ie..., (Bookmarks Toolbar, and or Bookmarks Menu) that you choose to store your bookmarks in terms of backing up and maintaining them?
Thanks,
bluifox

* The Bookmarks Toolbar folder stores the bookmarks that you see on the (View > Toolbars >) Bookmarks Toolbar.
* The Bookmarks Menu folder stores bookmarks that you see in the Bookmarks menu and create via "Bookmarks > Bookmark This Page" or "Bookmark This Link" in the right click context menu.
* The Unsorted Bookmarks folder stores the bookmarks that are created by clicking the star at the right end of the location bar.

Menus do not appear (via menubar, bookmark toolbar or right-clicking)
