My bookmark button disappeared and I can't find where it went.

I recently had to reset Firefox due to some malware and when I started it back up my bookmarks toolbar button was missing and I can't find where it went. I'll upload a screenshot showing what I mean. On the left is how it looks currently and on the right is what it used to look like.

Are you using the default theme?
*Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.
*"3-bar" Firefox menu button > Customize
*if missing items are in the Customize palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the Customize palette then click the "Restore Defaults" button to restore the default toolbar setup

    Hi lisaarnett111,
    If you are having issues turning on Always Allow for cookies in Safari on your iPad, you may want to check to make sure that you don't have Private Browsing enabled, as noted in the following article:
    Turn Private Browsing on or off on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

    Ask the Verizon store to exchange your iPhone for a different iPhone 4.
    UPDATE - Sure, try ckuan's solution first.  Then use mine if that fails.

    I should say that I am doing this on the iPhone4 and not a laptop.

    I believe that there is an app called MxTube that lets you download high quality youtube videos to your iPhone

  • HT201272 After a recent upgrade for my i-phone 4S, the safari app disappeared and I can't find it in the app store to reload it.  Apart from resetting the iphone does anyone have any other suggestion?

    Safari missing
    After a recent upgrade, I noticed that the safari app was missing.  I can't find it anywhere to reload it.  Any suggestions?

    It's a built-in app so it won't appear in the store.
    If you can't find it on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find it via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then is it hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Safari being set 'off' ?
    If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find it after the phone has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

  • I downloaded the latest version of iTunes and I can not find where to put the music without any synchronization

    I can not find where to put new music.
    Thank you in advance.

    When you connect your ipod up to the computer. It should show the device, usually with the name of the device, in my case 'jordan's ipod'. This should be on the row which shows 'songs', 'albums' e.t.c on the far right. There when you click on it it should go to a different screen showing a picture of your ipod along with two buttons - Update and Restore. Click update and it should take a 2 mins while your ipod is updated to the latest version of Ios.
    After updating te ipod see if there is a change in results.
    PS: make sure the device is active while syncing so keep tapping the screen.
    Sorry for any incorrect info, i have an ipod touch, but i've had experience with an ipod

    Somehow my application icon in the dock has disappeared. I have no idea where it went but it contains all my applications that i use. How do I get the application icon to return  to the dock. Thanks for your help. I am not computer literate by any means. Thanks

    Goto your application folder, find your app then drag/drop it back to the dock.

  • My bookmarks have disappeared and I can't add new bookmarks.

    All my bookmarks have disappeared, including the defaults on the toolbar of most visited, etc. I can't add new bookmarks either. I have tried all the Help Topics on lost bookmarks. I tried restoring bookmark backups, but the backup from the date I lost bookmarks says "unable to process backup file." All the later dates will load, but they have no bookmarks saved in them. All of the other Help Topic attempts went fine but did not solve the problem.

    What I would say is that if you have any bookmarks at all at present that you make a manual backup of them, and then continue to make manual backups as any recovery efforts proceed.
    * see [[Backing up and restoring bookmarks]]
    There is a possibility that you had corrupt files, and may then have inadvertently overwritten any files that may have contained bookmarks. It is a good idea to make manual backups, for cases where the auto backups do not. work as expected.
    If you have already followed the instructions carefully about [[lost bookmarks]] and without resolving the situation, there may not be much you can do about your personal bookmarks. If they are important and you are willing to try there may be a possibility using file recovery software, &/or sqlite editors that something could be salvaged, but not something I can advise on, I am not currently a Mac user.
    The default bookmarks should be fairly easy to restore. You can probably also start the bookmarks working again. Trying the simplest options first:
    # work from [safe mode]
    #* at this stage when you see the first dialogue window with options do not make changes, press the continue button
    # use the customise / customize option from the toolbars and '''reset defaults'''
    #* Mac may differ from my Windows XP, I can right click bookmarks, or use the tools menu see [[How do I customize the toolbars?]]
    # if that has failed to resolve the problem go back to safe mode as in step 1 but this time use reset toolbars and controls.
    By now you should have the default bookmarks back and maybe the bookmarks work and will save new bookmarks, try it whilst still in safe mode, before going back to try in ordinary mode. If it works in safe mode but not in ordinary mode you probably have some add-on managing to cause problems
    If you still have problems and bookmarks will not save see [[bookmarks not saved]] that probably indicates corrupt places.sqlite &/or localstore.rdf the linked article explains how to find and delete them.

  • Folder from my desktop has disappeared and I can not find it!

    I'm hoping someone out there can help me. To put it in short, I have been typing my notes for an exam that I need to pass for my medical license for the last couple of months. Yesterday I went to save the newest document to the folder (which I had saved on the Desktop of my Mac) and it wasn't there anymore. I'm not sure if any other files are missing because that was the main one that I was using at the time. I went into Microsoft Word and File > Recent and they are all listed there but when I click to open them it says that it can not find the file and if I would like to search for it myself. I do have an external hard drive but I guess I did not back up my stuff since I started working on these notes (yeah yeah I know dumb mistake). Can anyone help? I tried using StellarPhoenixMac recovery but I don't think it found anything worth while. Thanks.

    Try repairing disk permissions using Disk Utility.
    Repairing a disk's permissions using Disk Utility.
    Note: This should not delete any information or files from the disk.
    Repairing a disk's permissions can help solve various file-related issues.
    To begin, make sure your external disk that you are repairing is connected to the computer. If you are repairing an internal disk, skip this step.
    After the drive is connected, launch the Disk Utility application in any of the following ways:
    Type the first few letters of its name into Spotlight. Select it from the results.
    Go Finder > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
    Go Launchpad > Utilities > Disk Utility
    Once you are in the Disk Utility app, select the external drive from the sidebar on the left.
    Then, choose the Repair Disk Permissions button on the right.
    If this does not solve your issues, you may have no choice but to reformat the drive using Disk Utility.
    I hope I answered your question.

  • After updating to firefox 5 all my bookmarks are lost, and I can not find an old places.sqlite file. What happened to my bookmarks?

    I updated from Firefox 3 to Firefox 5 (Windows XP), and all my bookmarks are lost. Maybe I should have thought of making a backup but I did not think of this and previously after an update I could find them again. Now I can not find my bookmarks anywhere, all files in my profile have a date and time from the new installation. Is there any chance of finding my bookmarks somewhere else on my computer? If so, where are they and how can I restore them?

    Thanks for the answer. I read the article but it seems that the solution to my problem is not in there. Apart from the lost bookmarks Firefox is working fine, also I can make new bookmarks and delete them without problems. When I restart Firefox I don't loose them.
    Apparently after installing Firefox 5 everything of Firefox 3 was deleted including my profile. The only bookmark .json file I have is from the new installation, which means it does not contain any of my old bookmarks. It now has today's date and time.
    In my profile I have three 'places' files, now all with today's date and time:
    - places.sqlite (10240 kb)
    - places.sqlite-shm (32 kb)
    - places.sqlite-wal (865 kb)
    But even though places.sqlite is large, it apparently does not contain my old information. Or could it? Then how to get to it?

  • My bookmarks are gone and i can not find them - I have tried to restore and nothing is there.

    I have tried to restore and nothing is there. Please help me find where they might be backup too.

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
