My Google Toolbar does not open. Requires m e to close Firefoxn and restaret. Damn irritating. Need fix Pronto.

I have Google Toolbar installed. However, it does not show all parts of the toolbar. I have to close Firefox and restart before the full Google toolbar shows. This is irritating at best. Have been tempted to switch. If I am unable to find a solution, I WILL Switch.

First, let's confirm that your change is taking effect during the same session.
After changing your home page setting, and before closing Firefox, if you open a new window (Ctrl+n) or click the Home button, do the 6 pages load?
Second, let's confirm that your settings file is getting updated.
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Scroll down and look for a file named prefs.js (if the .js is not shown, Windows is set to hide file extensions; you can switch that off using the steps in this article: ).
If you right-click prefs.js and choose Edit, it should open up in Notepad or a similar text editing application. If you search in the document for '''homepage''' can you confirm that the line which starts as follows now lists the correct URLs?
user_pref("browser.startup.homepage", "''your pages...''
If those check out, then some process that runs after you exit Firefox appears to be undoing your change. Here's a possibility:
Some security software has a feature to protect you from unwanted browser changes. However, this also can prevent you from making changes you want to make. If you have Advanced SystemCare, or if any of your security/utility software has a feature with a name like Browser Protection, Home Page Protection, or Surfing Protection, try turning off that feature.

Autofill in Google Toolbar does not appear to be working with Firefox 4 - Aways saying Autofill not available for this page even on pages I have used it before FF4 upgrade

Autofill in Google Toolbar does not appear to be working with Firefox 4 - It aways gives the message "Autofill not available for this page". This is happening on pages I have used Autofill on before upgrading to FF4 from Firefox 3.5.x

i did not see a solution posted - I tired what I read. Going back to an old version may solve the problem but it is a stupid solution so I have yet to do that.
I am on version 4 and autofil this does not work :

Uninstall version 5, then Google "google toolbar version 4", follow the link to FileHippo.com, and download and install the last version 4. When you reinstall it, make sure you turn off the option to perform automatic updates.

Amazing steps you've done so far! The great news is this is very unlikely an issue with your iPhone.
I've run into a similar issue lately as well. I narrowed it down to one song that was causing 30 songs not to sync. I removed the song from the sync list (unchecked it) and all 29 songs were able to sync.
You may be running into a similar issue. This may be a problem with this version of iTunes, an issue with one song or a group of songs; hard to know for sure. It's important to narrow down and isolate the cause. Most imporantly get that music back on there!
The way to narrow down the casue add just a few songs at a time (even 1, just to get that first sync finished). Manually syncing is what you'll need here.
Plug in your iPhone, on the Summary screen (shows a picture of your iPhone, the iOS version, Restore iPhone....; etc). Under the Options area at the bottom choose to Manually Manage Videos and Music then choose Apply in the lower right. The music that's on your iPhone now should be removed from your iPhone now. You're now able to sync music manually.
The link below explains how to drag the songs from the iTunes library on the computer on to your iPhone which will start the sync. Add just one song just to see if you can get 1 of those hundreds of songs on there. If you can, awesome! Keep adding until you find the song or group of songs that are causing this issue.

Address bar google search does not open in the current tab

When I do a address bar google search, the search window does not open in my current tab (which is usually a newly blank tab window), instead it opens in a previously opened tab window (or sometimes even a new tab), but never does the search appear in the current tab. When it does this, it ofteb replaces a web page which I can no longer view it without going backwards.
The only fix I have found is to open a new tab and go to Google's web page and search from there. But, this takes extra time and I have to remember to do this. Otherwise, I might lose web pages I wish to view.
This never used to happen until recently. I have a Mac using Lion for the past year.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Anna

I appreciate your input, but I don't want the google web page to open in a new window.
Instead, I want to search using the address bar in using google to open the search in the tabbed webpage I am viewing, rather than open another tabbed webpage. When it opens in a different tab from the one I am in, it either creates a brand new tab, or more problematically, opens the search in an tabbed window which has an existing webpage I still want to access for viewing.
This is a Firefox issue. Address bar searching works as it should in Safari.

Installation of Google toolbar does not get completed

This problem occurred after Mozilla updated itself. I lost Google toolbar. I tried to reinstall but, after installation (as add-on) the toolbar does not appear after restart (of the browser). The Google toolbar download reappears again! (I don't know why?) ...

When I clicked on "help" on Firefox menu bar and then clicked on "About Firefox" I discovered that Firefox 4.0 is a "Mozilla Firefox Yahoo ! Edition yahoo - 1.8"
Could this have something to do with not supporting Google Toolbar and Google button ?

Google TGM does not open new tab

I only use the FF search bar in the upper right corner, no other toolbars are installed. The google search with the little blue "g" opens find within the same tab that is currently open. The Google(TGM) used to open the search page in a new tab and not automatically switch to it - I liked it. Since updating past FF19, it has lost this capability, it now opens in the same tab that I'm already in.
I have set the manage search engines.
I have gone through troubleshooting.
I have reset Firefox.
I have checked all the add-ons.
I have gone through the tab group management process.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. 
''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
Type this in the Search line at the top. 
'''browser.search.openintab''' 
= search bar results always open in a new tab
Double-click that pref to toggle it to '''True'''.

I upgraded to FF4 and my Google Toolbar does not show.

I have checked to ensure the check mark is next to Google Toolbar under and it is. I have checked to ensure that Google Toolbar is enabled and it is. However, when you look at my screen there is a space where Google Toolbar should be but it is not visible.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report — they're very long and not helpful.

Firefox does not open to "maximized" after updating add-ons and performing the restart

After checking for any updates to installed add-ons and, if there should be an update(s) available, and ... after performing the download of the update(s) with a "RESTART FIREFOX" is needed ... Firefox does not restart/reopen to MAXIMIZED. I have to manually maximize Firefox.

This problem ... I suspect ... is only when I am using Windows XP Home w/SP3. This problem does not occur when I use Firefox on Ubuntu (Linux). So now, I don't know if there is a problem with Firefox using Windows XP or that the problem is with Windows XP using Firefox. In any case, I will not just do the extra clicking to maximize Firefox after updating the addons and such. Thanks anyway.

Yoga 2 Pro: Google Chrome does not open properly

Link to image
I have a Yoga Thinkpad 13.3 convertible which I recently upgraded from Windows 8 to 8.1 with no apparent problems. A few days later I tried to open Google Chrome - the screen wouldn't open properly and wouldn't respond. I tried to uninstall the progam and couldn't do that either, or download a new version. A computer technician friend has since managed to get Chrome to uninstall and cleared the registry and downloaded Chrome again but it still isn't working - the screen shot is what it's like at the moment and he is baffled, he's never come across this before. Is there a conflict between Chrome and Windows 8.1?
If anyone has a solution please explain in simple language I'm not particularly computer literate when it comes to technical speak.
Moderator note: images totalling more than 50k converted to links per forum rules: Lenovo Community Participation Rules

Chrome works fine in 8.1
Try creating a new user account, then uninstall/reinstall chrome using the offline installer.

Elements Organizer does not open. Should I just forget it and use Lightroom?

I have Elements 11 and reciently instaled Lightroom 5. Elements Organizer no longer opens. Should I be concerned and just use the ghtroom Library?

Lightroom is more powerful and robust than Organizer. So yes go ahead if you don't need people recognition.
You can set up te PSE editor as your external editing app in LR preferences and then you can right-click on images in the Library and choose Edit in pse.
