My Menu Bar will not recognize Firefox as the current program?

I am having trouble with my Mac Menu Bar. Firefox is not in Full Screen mode, and the Menu Bar is visible, but it is not registering Firefox as being the current program, causing me to loose things such as "Bookmarks" and "History" or even "Force Quit". Does anyone know how to fix this?

You can try to do some maintenance.

Firefox 4: the drop down menus in the top menu bar will not appear in Google pages.

''locking as a duplicate - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/808729''
Firefox 4: the drop down menus in the top menu bar will not appear in Google pages. For example, when I click "more" it is like clicking a dead link. Nothing happens. When I click the "tools" icon or my email address to log out, same thing.

Could you do the following please.
In the location bar at the top, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter
In the filter at the top, copy/paste the following setting:
'''browser.urlbar.maxRichResults'''
If the figure on the right is a single number, or a minus figure i.e. '''-1''', right click it, choose '''Modify''', remove the current setting and replace it with the figure "'''12'''".
Then close Firefox and restart it again.
I went to Google Maps, but as you can see from the screenshot, directions appear to be working.

Srpy menu bar will not display

Was working away on modifying a spry menu bar when all of a
sudden the menu bar will not display. Tried creating a new page and
inserting the menu bar and still will not display. Won't even
display in previous pages created.
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks

The following code calls the MenuBar widget into your
document, but the widget will not be found, if the code that I
provided you is not properly formatted.
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
When I insert a SPRY widget into my document the Javascript
and CSS files that construct and determine the appearance of the
widget are automatically placed into a folder called SpryAssets. My
document is housed in a different folder. Thus, I must exit the
folder in which my document is contained before entering the
SpryAssets folder. When I read your href attribute it appears that
your SpryAsset folder and your document are located in the same
directory folder. If this is true, then I do not understand why
your widget does not appear.
I can offer two additional suggestions, and then my knowledge
of what might be wrong is exhausted:
1) If possible insert the widget again using a previous
version of your document in which the widget has not already been
inserted.
2) Always make sure that your document has been saved at
least once before inserting a SPRY object. This will insure that
everything is properly linked when the widget is inserted.
In the meantime, maybe someone more knowledgeable than I will
be able to help.

My clock in the menu bar will not keep time.

My clock in the menu bar will not keep time.
However, if I click on it and open Date & Time and do nothing more, it adjusts to the current time but still doesn't work as the seconds aren't advancing. I close Date & Time but the clock stays highlighted/selectted, which is also strange.
Any suggestions as to how to get my clock running again?

Hi Peter,
Not certain, but I'd try this...
You've probably got a couple of corrupt preference files.
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Users/<yourname>/Library/Preferences/ com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
/Users/<yourname>/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.systemuiserver.xxx.plist
where 'xxx' is a 12 digit (hexadecimal) numeric string.
This will reset your Menu Bar to the default, you'll need to go through System Preferences to reset the ones you need. (If they are already checked, uncheck them first and then recheck them).
reboot

Lightroom 5.7 will not convert .nef to dng from my Nikon d750. Stand alone dng converter will not recognize or convert the files.

Lightroom 5.7 will not convert .nef to dng from my Nikon d750. Stand alone dng converter will not recognize or convert the files. Any know whats wrong?

I don't understand why you feel you need to use ViewNX to download your images from the camera. Lightroom has an excellent import process. I don't see that you gain anything by using the Nikon software. It seems to me that it has the capability of just creating more problems.
If you want to convert your D750 files to DNG using the standalone DNG converter thing you need to have DNG converter 8.7 installed. Once you have it installed, just choose the FOLDER in the DNG converter, but don't open it in the DNG converter file browser. If you open that folder then you will get the message that there are no files to convert. The converter works on the folder level, not the individual file level.

You've probably got a couple of corrupt preference files.
Move these files to the Desktop for now...

/Users/<yourname>/Library/Preferences/ByHost>com.apple.systemuiserver.xxx.plist

Reboot.

The menu bar will not show up.

I accidentally hid the menu bar (which has file, view etc. on it) and i do not know how to get it back. Please help me.
== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== Today

Press the Alt key, this will temporarily display the menu bar.
You can then make it permanently display the menu bar by selecting the View menu option, then Toolbars, and finally Menu bar

My webroot tool bar will not install firefox. How to Help needed. I did the reinstall from the start button in windows. Thanks

The toolbar for my webroot account will not install on firefox for some reason. It remembers my accounts and passwords along with the sign in pages of my accounts.

It works again, thanks. It was only a small thing but so annoying. Do you know why this happened so I can maybe avoid it in future?

Downloaded new KeyScrambler but it will not recognize Firefox

Within Firefox downloaded Key Scrambler 2.7 and it could not find Firefox on my computer. I got a message saying that it should be loaded within Firefox using Key Scrambler.xpi but I cannot seem to locate this, Also it shows in my Firefox as an extension but KS calls it a plugin

http://www.qfxsoftware.com/ks-windows/user-manual-windows.htm <br />
Scroll down that page to - '''III. Manually Install KeyScrambler Personal''' - for Firefox installation directions.
Different terminology might be used by different developers. In Firefox if it installs via and XPI package, it's known as an ''' "extension" ''', even if it installs a '''''plugin''''' to be used by Firefox. Even more confusing is the fact the Mozilla considers themes, extensions, and plugins to all be '''addons'''.

Will not recognize DVDs, including the new OS X Snow Leopard install disk

I just got a used, year-old Macbook Pro and it will not read DVDs and was brought to my attention when I tried to install the new OS X 10.6 and it would make noises like it was trying to read the disk, and then it ejects the disk every time I try. I tried multiple DVDs and it did the same **** for everything I put in. It reads CDs completely fine and even burns CDs but for some reason it does not read DVDs. Any suggestions are very helpful.

Not recognizing / mounting discs: I used to think this was a cleaning issue, and found myself removing my optical drives, taking them apart, and cleaning the lenses, etc. whenever the problem occurred. Then one time decided to simply disconnect the drives, restarting the system with the drives disconnected, then shutting down, reconnecting the drives, and restarting... bam. Drives were good to go, the problem fixed- discs mounting just fine. Apparently it wasn't the "cleaning" I was doing, it was the disconnect / reconnect that was fixing it. I don't bother cleaning them any more. Now I just do the disconnect/reconnect dance. I would consider this as being something related to the SMC, except the same issue existed with my G5, which did not utilize the SMC function as with the Intel machines.

After downloading foxfire 4 it says I have to shut down foxfire before it will install. I cannot go any further and it will not let me install the foxfire program. What do I have to do to install forxfire onto my laptop?

I downloaded foxfire 4 onto my laptop. As soon as I start into the install program a message comes on that foxfire will not install untill I exit forxfire. There is nothing running except the install program. As soon as I click ok everything exits and starts all over again with the same message. It will not install. What can I do to get it installed

To get rid of "pop-up ads and other crap on my computer when I am on the internet", click on Safari in the Menu bar, and select Preferences. Next select Extensions. Delete all of them. Restart Safari.
The first step in addressing the black screen is an SMC reset.
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

HT1444 My programs will not update because of the current software?

My iTunes will not update because its not supported by my software. How do I get the program to update.

iTunes 10 through 10.6.3 require at least Mac OS X 10.5, which requires a G4 or better Mac. Mac OS X 10.5 DVDs might be obtainable by phoning Apple and are available on sites such as Amazon or eBay.
iTunes 10.7 and newer requires Mac OS X 10.6 or newer, which requires an Intel Mac with at least 1GB of RAM. It's available on the online Apple Store.

Internet Explorer will not let me download the entire program. How can I fix this?

IE will let me download 99% of it, then stops. It will not finish.

I suspect there is some background to what you are doing about which we do not know. Re-installed operating system?
The error also doen't make sense to me. I have read people saying they cannot update because itunes says there is a newer version already on the computer, but not because it says there is an older version on the computer. Are you sure you have your versions straight?

My Menu Bar will not recognize Firefox as the current program?
