Menus totally messed up after installing Firefox 4

After installing 4.0 - a weird gray, double layer of toolbar icons appears above the navigation bar. This doubling also appears in other ways on preference panes. Moving from preference, settting windows back to homepage results in disappearance of usable menus. Something seems to be corrupted. Turning off extensions does not fix this. Any ideas? I had to revert to 3.6 as 4.0 was unusable.

Thanks. Didn't work. I had to trash the firefox folder containing profiles in application support folder. That fixed the issue. I then re-imported a back up copy of bookmarks.

  • Must restart after installing firefox and kde...WHY????

    Every time I set up an arch box, when I install firefox or kde (probably others) I must restart the computer before I can even execute them. This is mighty inconvenient and un-linux-like, I noticed that during the bootup, the Updating Shared Library Links takes a little longer after installing firefox or kde, is there a command I can run that does this after installing firefox or kde that dosen't require me to restart?

    I wish pacman or the .install files would check to see if /opt/foo, the path that the package was just installed to, is in $PATH and automatically source /etc/profile if it's not. I swear this is a top 10 question from users and rightfully so, they shouldn't have to deal with this. In my humble opinion.
    I'm pretty sure most do - however, that only sources it for root, not the user running - I have no idea, off the top of my head, if this works correctly under sudo.
    However, the important part is that your WM/DE is running under a totally different environment setup, and the 'export' stuff does not reach it.
    I can't really think of a good way to get around it - I know it's rather irritating to some people.  I wonder if adding something like "/opt/*/bin" to the PATH by default would work... I don't think it globs properly though...

  • After installing firefox 5 I now find that my google toolbar has disappeared because it is incompatable with this new version of Firefox....how do I restore my Google toolbar as I have all my bookmarks and information on this toolbar

  • After installing Firefox 5, why, after closing and reopening the programme, do I seem to have lost most of the new features?

    After installing Firefox 5, replacing my previous version (4.5), I could see the new features. However, having closed and reopened Firefox, it seems as though it has reverted to the previous version, even though 'Help - About' says I'm running on version 5.0.
    I had to download 5.0 from the Mozilla website, as I tried to update via the update tool in 4.5, but it claimed I was fully up to date, even though I have 5.0 on another machine (which works perfectly).

    Can you please describe the "new features" that you saw first time you opened Firefox 5?
    Thank you.

  • Certain websites media player wont work after installing Firefox V4

    After installing Firefox Version 4 the media player of certain website fails to start and stream normally. I have updated all the needed plugins and add ons and still have the same issue. I have created a Mozilla account and downloaded Spark and my Spark says invalid username or password when trying to login to Spark to start a chat session

    Thanks for the step-by-step. However, I'm having time-out
    issues when trying to download (step #1) anything from that server.
    The "file download" window opens, but the progress is so slow - it
    ends up timing out. Is anyone able to download any of those
    files?

  • How do i set colors on javascript coding page, colors are not seen after installing Firefox version 8

    How do i set colors on javascript coding page, colors are not seen after installing Firefox version 8 . I am using WaveMaker application for web development

    Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Accessibility settings.

  • Why won't my plug-in's work after installing Firefox 4?

    After installing Firefox 4 I have had problems. The Aniweather doesn't work and the other plug in don't seem to be working either. They all say they are enabled. I have reinstalled Firefox and it still doesn't work. I would go back to the old Firefox if I could find it.''Roboform Toolbar won't show when I click on the icon in the upper left corner.

    Click one of the other tabs at the left on the about:addons page if the "Get Add-ons" tab isn't working or takes too long.

  • My wireless router keeps shutting down after installing firefox 8.1

    After installing firefox 8.1 my wireless router keeps shutting down. I am using Windows Vista, Gateway Laptop, x64 system. I have a belkin wireless router.

    Hi,
    Firefox 8.0 is no longer being maintained or offered for download. The latest version is Firefox 10.0: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
    Please make sure to download Firefox from a legitimate site. Also please note that Firefox by itself doesn't and cannot change OS network settings or hardware settings, other than trying to use different configurations in itself.

    Sometimes the PC does not open at all. At times it shuts down by itself.
    == After installing firefox ==

    Go to the control panel and adjust the power settings. Start/Settings/Control Panel/Power settings. You can adjust the settings there.

  • After installing Firefox v 22, AppleWorks runs slow and hangs up. Can I unintall v 22 and revert back to Forefox v 21?

    I work on a iMac Intel Core 2 Duo - OSX 10.6.8 I rely on using AppleWorks v 6+ (Classic mode -Rosetta) I have over 3000 records in an AppleWorks data base and do not want to lose these records.
    Also, I run two Operating Systems on my computer - one (OSX 10.6.8) in my internal HD, another from a 2TB external HD (also OSX 10.6.8). Although I do not recall doing so, I must have downloaded and installed Firefox v 22 on my "internal" HD. Since doing so, AppleWorks hangs up and sometimes requires me to Force Quit the App. However, when using my external HD (which still runs Firefox v 21) when I launch AppleWorks (from my Applications folder on my "Internal HD) I do not experience any problems with AppleWorks. The problem with AppleWorks hanging up or not responding, began only after installing Firefox v 22 on my internal HD. I have no idea why but Firefox v 22 is definitely causing problems with AppleWorks v 6+
    Is it possible to revert back to Firefox v 21 (if I uninstall v 22)?

    I 'm facing the same problem but I don't want to uninstall better to Roll back to my previous version . 'cause many plug-in ( which is most usefull and important to me ) not supported with my present version V22. like easy youtube .
    I want to know what is the benefit if I don't get any better opportunity from upgrade version and also lose my previous version's facility !

  • After installing Firefox 4.0, I cannot download bank transactions into Quicken 2009.

    After installing Firefox 4.0, when I download bank transactions into Quicken 2009, it tries to open a new file rather than go into the file that is already open and from which it accessed Firefox in the first place.

    Such files that are passed to external programs are usually downloaded to the system temp folder (%TEMP% or %TMP%).
    You may need to check your Anti-virus software if this isn't working properly.

  • After installing Firefox 4, Hotmail Page lost all it's formatting

    After installing Firefox 4, my Hotmail "home" page lost all it's formatting. The Hotmail/Live logon screen is normal, but after logging on I see all the links and such in one long line down the left of the page. If I click on any of the links, like to go to my Inbox or Calendar, the resulting pages have the same problem. I've cleared cache and such and tried again, but same problem.
    Everything works fine in Firefox 3.6 and I.E. 8.

    When it comes to a security issue, shouldn't firefox work out the kinks before issuing an update rather than forcing other programs to adjust to firefox? This is a pretty arrogant opinion. WE are your customers and deserve better service than this!

  • After installing Firefox 5, Hyperlinks on some web pages wont click open. Help?

    After installing Firefox 5, Hyperlinks on some web pages wont click open. Usually non-text confirm type links. Like to enter an account.
    One Example below. I can't click open the 'My Account' button at the top: http://www.boostmobile.com/
    I also miss the Google toolbar. I used it frequently.
    I am ready to revert to an older version of Firefox.

    I did't have a problem clicking on the link. It is JavaScript perhaps you have JavaScript turned off Tools > Options > Content or perhaps NoScript extension.
