My Bookmarks category on the toolbar has a Trojan Horse logo on four of the drop down menu items.

I have a Mac G5 desktop with OX 10.5.8. My Safari browser was hacked by TH malware, and so I deleted it because it is too old to update to Mavericks.
I am now using Firefox. I see now that the trojan is embedded in my Bookmarks bar, on the drop down menu items. I'm am having trouble resetting Firefox, nor can I get the Malwarebytes that I downloaded to open and run. I have cleared the history, cookies, cache on my computer. I have also deleted Java, MSN, and the old email Mail and its settings from the hard drive.
I'm a low-tech techie. Thank you for your ideas,
svidor

Are you able to give screenshots or other information so we know more about your problem.
*[[How to make screenshots]]
*[[How do I create a screenshot of my problem?]]
I have no idea what the trojan is / was but there have been quite a few reports of pseudo ransomware. This demands money and makes it appear that Firefox is locked up. If you are lucky and have that sort of problem it is easy to get out of.
* see for example this thread [/questions/981475]
If you have book marked sites with malware Firefox provdes you an option to forget about sites that may resolve the issue.

My folders aren't showing up in my bookmark list or the drop down menu when I bookmark a site. Please advise!

I just created a bunch of folders to organize my bookmarks. When I try to bookmark a page and put it in the appropriate folder, none of my folders appear in the drop-down menu. Thanks for any advice you can provide. ~cayugakate

Turns out they were showing up, just all the way at the bottom of my list of bookmarks. I just couldn't see them. If you go to "Bookmarks"->"Organize Bookmarks" and then play around in there with highlighting on "Bookmarks Menu" you should be able to figure it out. Otherwise you just have to move them up to the top individually. Hope that helps! ~Kate

Can I click on "bookmarks" and have the drop down menu display ONLY the file imported from Safari?

I am trying to achieve a one click drop down menu without side selection for "Safari". Possibly I need to drag bookmarks and folders from the "Safari" folder into the "unsupported " folder, but when I tried this it doubled everything I drug in.

I did find that I could move bookmarks and folders out of the "imported from Safari" folder onto the "unsorted bookmarks" folder. Removed the Safari folder and made sure the "bookmarks menu" was empty, and then closed show all bookmarks. Hoping that when I opened Bookmarks from the very top line of Apple menu items, the only list that would pop down would be the one that I just constructed in "unsorted bookmarks". But alas, what pops down is no visible bookmarks. You have to slide down to "unsorted" which pops open a window offset to the right with what I really want to see, the list of bookmarks that I assembled in Unsorted.

Can't see all the drop down menu items in Thunderbird

I have a MAC OS10.8.5. and Tbird 36.1. I have been searchING for strategies to increase the font size on Tbird. I added the "theme font size and changer". THIS improved my situation a bit.
I upgraded my MAC from 10.6.8 to 10.8.5. A few weeks later I noticed that I can not see all the contents in the drop down windows.
I disabled the "theme font size and changer". I deleted the localstore.rdf. No results either time.
Attached is one of the windows. When I am typing in the "To" field, the auto-fill only lets me see barely 1 email. When I go into preferences on Tbird, the windows for preferences are cut off.
How can I restore the windows so I can see everything?

Please check your graphic driver is up to date.
If it still fails to work after updating drivers:
Then test in Thunderbird safe mode.
Help > Restart with addons disabled
If this fixes the issue then it is possible that one of your addon extensions is causing the problem. You would need to restart in Normal mode and then disable addon extensions until you locate the one causing an issue - maybe it needs updating.

I don't see the new "firefox button" and i can't see the bookmark button (with the drop down option) unless I'm in the customize toolbar view. How can I fix these?

I am using Firefox 4.0 on Windows XP home, Service pack 3. I am trying to use some of the new features of Firefox 4.0 that I see on the Firefox feature page (http://mzl.la/gCFDjj) and am not having much luck. First off in the Firefox Button. It is supposed to contain all your menu items but it is not appearing on my screen. Is this a feature that only works in Vista or Windows 7?
Second, I am trying to use the Bookmarks Button (the one that has the drop down menu) but it doesn't appear in my toolbar unless I right click the tool bar and choose "customize". The button shows up in this view already in the toolbar, as if it is hidden in normal use and no matter where I move it to, once I hit the "done" button in the customize window the Bookmarks Button gets hidden/covered up again.
Third, I see the new "App Tabs" feature but I can't seem to find an option for this in the preferences for Firefox, if it's even supported by my browser/OS at all.
Can anyone tell me how to use/activate these features or if I am even able to using Windows XP?

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.

Bookmarks toolbar changed from the right side of the drop-down menu to the left. How can I change it back on Firefox 4.0.1 for Mac?

I just updated to Firefox 4.0.1. Some changes I don't like, especially that the Bookmarks toolbar opens to the left of the drop-down menu instead of the right. How can I change it?

You may have bookmarks that have long title. Firefox 4 shows the full text of the bookmark name, so if it doesn't fit with opening to the right side the Firefox will open to the left side. You can scroll through the list and make the bookmarks with a long name shorter.

The BBC is a drop-down menu item on my bookmarks toolbar. About 20% of the time, when I click on a news story, I get the link that's underneath, not the one on the drop-down menu. What the?

I don't understand why Firefox would take me to a link UNDERNEATH the link I clicked on in the drop-down menu. Items in the drop-down menu are supposed to be clickable. I'm tired of clicking on a BBC news story link only to be sent to the beanie babies page of Amazon.com.

Not sure how often

How do I alphabatize all my bookmarks from the drop down menu with the star on the Right side of screen?

I want to alphabatize all my bookmarks that are in the drop down menu, the menu with the star icon, on the right side of the screen. I do not want to put them in folders or view them in the box from the menu bar and all the answers pertain to that box, and not to the one with the star. Thank you

I don't think it's possible from the toolbar button.
However, the action you take in the Bookmarks Sidebar or in the Library dialog will affect the Bookmarks Menu everywhere it is displayed, including the toolbar button, so you only need to use it for the few moments needed to use Sort By Name and then close it.
Bookmarks Sidebar (either):
* View menu > Sidebar > Bookmarks
* Command+b
Library dialog (either):
* Bookmarks menu > Show All Bookmarks
* Command+Shift+b
right-click "Bookmarks Menu" > Sort By Name

I have lost all of my bookmarks from the drop-down menu. It says it is empty, but never have I deleted them. And when I bookmark a page it does not save it. Please help

Question
I have lost all of my bookmarks from the drop-down menu. It says it is empty, but never have I deleted them. And when I bookmark a page it does not save it. Please help

Ok this is bizzare!
Thank you for your response, I went throught each and every step without any luck, even got the recovery programme, and painstakingly tried to sift through all that mumbojumbo to find what i needed. finally found the bookmark bit, but it had been fully overwritten :(, so on reading about previous ff versions, found the sqlite thingys, and they were relatively unscathed(partly written over, but saveable apparently TG), saved them to adiff drive, amongst other possibly good folders. Then looked up how to install them, and it said to close FF, and install to profile folder.
So i tried to close FF, and the original problem from a few days ago, where it asked me if 'i was sure i wanted to close this window as it has X tabs open', popped up again. This is where 'open blank page' selection was set, over 'open previous tabs'. Wanting to save that info on how to sort out these friggin files, I reset the Option to 'open previous tabs', and closed FF. After unsucessfully searching for the profile folder on my laptop, i opened FF intending to search online for where i could find said folder.
AND BANG, surprise surprise, the FF I had just closed with only tabs open about finding out what the heck to do, had disappeared, and instead my original saved tabs were up, and my bookmarks are there..... I am gobsmacked! what the heck just happened there???
I have made 3 back up in different folders now, of those friggin bookmarks. I am weary now tho of shutting it all down.... what if its back to the other pages I had with no bookmarks, tomorrow :(

The bookmarks in my drop-down menu do not appear when I try to "organize bookmarks". When I try to bookmark a page, the folders in the drop-down menu do not appear as choices.

The trouble started when I transferred applications from my old computer. When I click "bookmarks", all my bookmarks are there. When I try to "Organize Bookmarks", it acts like I have no bookmarks. When I try to "Bookmark this page", it does not show all the folders that are in the drop-down menu. There are a number of bookmark files in the appdata\mozilla\firefox\profiles area, none of which are complete. I tried a backup and restore in the organize menu and a backup was created, but I don't know what was backed up. I suspect nothing was backed up. When I clicked a restore, nothing happened.

I'm not familiar with Windows 7, but... is it possible there is a permissions problem with your profile folder, or read-only set on any database files?

My new bookmarks now appear at the top of the drop-down menu, not at the bottom like before. Why?

It used to be that when I created a new bookmark and saved in the Bookmarks Menu it would go to the bottom of the list on the Bookmarks drop-down menu. Now, new bookmarks go to the top of the drop-down menu and appear ABOVE the "Recent Tags" and "Recently Bookmarks" folder. How can I fix this?

This behavior may have been changed by an extension.
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.

Most of my library consists of h.264 videos wrapped in the m4v format, which my converters (Handbrake & mkvtools) says is the Apple TV format. Today I tried coverting a few to mp4 (for iPad) instead, so that I can watch them on multiple devices, but I'm running into the same problem with those that you are.
I tried resetting my ATV as the other responder suggested, but that hasn't helped. I'm still unable to watch h.264 mp4 files, while h.264 m4v's are fine.

How can I locate the drop down menu to select thumbnails for viewing my photos?

I am using Microsoft Windows Vista. I select Files> Get photos and Videos> From Files and Folders. I select my photos and In my views I have a choice of different size icons, list, details and tiles. The icons are a flower image. When I select an image to view it only appears as an extra large icon on the middle right side of the moniter. I would like to view the thumbnail of the photo bfore I bring to my organizer. The drop down menu doesn't have a choice for thumbnail.

Perhaps I need to supply more details. I am using PSE9. I haven't any problem importing the images into the Organizer as I just select the Icons and select "Get Media" or "Open" and they transfer over to the Organizer. I would like to see the image as a thumbnail not an icon when when making the selection. If I right click them, the Icon, and select open they will open in "Windows Live Photo Gallery".
The icons are now listed on the left side of the monitor about the right middle it states "Select A File To Preview". When I select a file (icon) a large file (icon) appears in that area and it should be a thumbnail of the image. Somehow I can't locate the drop down menu taht permits me to make that selection. I think it has something to do with my files being able to open in Windows Live Photo Gallery when right clicking and select Open. Is the drop down menu only available in Windows 7?

Cannot remove autocomplete entry from address bar; have already cleared history, and entry is not in the drop-down menu of the address bar either.

I am having problems removing an autocomplete entry from my address bar; I have tried clearing my history, so it's no longer in that, and I do not have it bookmarked either, so it's not getting the URL from that location either. The autocomplete entry isn't even showing up in the drop down menu, so I can't even scroll through that to delete it.
Basically, I want to be able to type "st" and go to "store.steampowered.com"; however, despite numerous times of typing in "st" and then going down into the drop-down menu to choose "store.steampowered.com", the bar continues to autocomplete "steamtrades.com", which is exceptionally annoying because I do not have that website bookmarked, or in my history, yet it continues to autocomplete to that address, which I do not want it to autocomplete to, and cannot figure out how to remove because I've already cleared my history multiple times, do not have it bookmarked, and it is not showing up in the drop down of the address bar for me to go down and force delete it.

Did you try to remove some letters from steamtrades.com to see if that bring this entry up in the drop-down list?
If it is not in the history then it might be present with a typed=1 flag indicating that you have typed or pasted it in the location bar.
You can use the SQLite Manager extension in Firefox to inspect the places.sqlite file to see if this entry comes up in the moz_places table.
*SQLite Manager: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/sqlite-manager/
<pre><nowiki>SELECT datetime(visit_date/1000000,'unixepoch') AS visit_date, url, title, visit_count, frecency
FROM moz_places, moz_historyvisits
WHERE moz_places.id = moz_historyvisits.place_id AND url LIKE '%steamtrades.com%'</nowiki></pre>

I have two faults! 1, an error comes up in Ps CC 2014 "could not apply the saved panel configuration, restring to default and my tools have disappeared completely and anything ive tried I cannot get them back not even the drop down menu in 'window' helps

I have two faults! 1, an error comes up in Ps CC 2014 "could not apply the saved panel configuration, restring to default and my tools have disappeared completely and anything ive tried I cannot get them back not even the drop down menu in 'window' helps at all. And 2, Lr everytime I load it up it gives me the option to retry or switch to and it takes a while for me to even get anywhere with it I think it has something to do with the catalogs? I've been using these programs for a few years now on a Mac...no problem but when I use a PC when I'm away coz it's the (only) comp available these happen PC's are so useless! Please can anyone help??...

I can give a few suggestions on Photoshop CC 2014, but Lightroom is a separate forum and you should ask Lr questions there.
First close Photoshop.
Then start Photoshop by double-clicking on it's icon and very quickly after that, hold down the ctrl-alt-shift keys until you see the reset dialog. answer "Yes" to delete settings, and let Photoshop continue to load.
It's tricky to do and may take a few tries, but at least it should reset Photoshop CC 2014 to defaults.
