My navigation toolbar rejects my customising

Every time I open Firefox, the navigation toolbar has returned to its default layout and I must customise it again to get it how I want it.
None of the toolbars are missing. Only the layout of the navigation toolbar layour is affected.

I can't get the Bookmarks button (NOT the Display Your Bookmarks Button) to show in the Navigation Toolbar, except when I have the Customise window open.

I think that covers it really. When I have the customise window open I can see the Bookmarks Button (like the Display Your Bookmarks Button but with a little arrow on the right hand side) but as soon as I click Done it vanishes. I've tried it in a number of positions on the Navigation toolbar but without success.

My bookmarks button just moved itself out of the Navigation Toolbar and into the Bookmarks Toolbar. If there's a way to return it, let me know.
It's using a whole new toolbar's worth of space (since the Bookmarks Toolbar is now double height) just for one dinky button...love the idea of maximizing real estate and this is messing that up.

Bookmark Toolbar entries not showing up in blank space allocated for them under Navigation Toolbar.

Using Firefox 3.6.13 and 4.0b8. Both are not showing up my Bookmark Toolbar entries. The item does exist. I've used Firefox for years and that toolbar has always showed up. Confirmed that it still exists and was not inadvertently trashed by viewing item and listing when opting to Manage Bookmarks. The item is checked off for display in the menu drop-down (View-Toolbars-Bookmark Toolbar), the space where it would normally display my entries shows up directly under the Navigation Toolbar, but it is blank with no entries displayed.

In the View menu select Toolbars, and then Customize to open the customize toolbar dialog. With the customize toolbar dialog displayed, there should be an icon with the label "Bookmarks Toolbar Items" on the bookmarks toolbar. If it is not there, drag and drop the icon called Bookmarks from the customize toolbar dialog onto the bookmarks toolbar. There will be 2 icons called Bookmarks, the one you want will have an icon that looks like a sheet of paper (it does on Windows, I believe it is the same on the Mac).

The "Go back one page" button on the Navigation toolbar doesn't work on certain web pages.

== Issue
==
Firefox is having problems with certain web sites
== Description
==
The "Go back one page" button on the Navigation toolbar doesn't seem to work on certain pages. On clicking this button, the focus stays on the same page and does not move to the previous page. The previous page does not appear even in the right-click context menu of the Back button. However, I am able to go back one page using Internet Explorer.

Try to open the right-click context menu of the Back button and see if you can go back further.
The current active entry in that list has a bullet in front of it.
If you hover an entry in that session history list then it shows the direction by adding an arrow at the left.
You can left click an item to open it in the current tab or middle-click or Ctrl left-click an entry in that list to open that link in new tab, just like you can with other links.

Will not open up with the home page I have specifed on navigator toolbar I have gone through all the settings but it reverts to another home page when I restart the PC

I want my page to open up with google which it has until lately when I downloaded jzip and since then it always opens up with http://search.jzip.com/ instead of http://www.google.com.au/ When it comes up with jzip I change it to google and request it to be my home page and it stays that way till I restart the pc and it reverts back to izip and I have to go through the same process to change back to google, it never used to do this at times when I have down loaded information it has changed but I have always been able to revert to the correct home page and it stay that way but not any more.
The jzip is in the navigator toolbar section as are other websites but this is the only one that keeps being used as the home page hope you can find a solution as it is very annoying.

You can open the about:config page via the location bar and do a search for jzip via the Filter at the top of the about:config page. 
You can reset all jzip related prefs via the right-click context menu to their default values.

Can I shorten the search bar in the navigation toolbar?

In the navigation toolbar, right after the settings icon, is a long search bar. Can I shorten this or get rid of it completely?

The location bar and search bar have a flex property that makes them take all available space on the toolbar. If you remove the search bar via View > Toolbars > Customize then the location bar will take that space. If you place the mouse pointer between the location bar and the search bar then you can change the relative wide of both by dragging the resizer left or right.

After installing 9.0.1 twice on Win7, Firefox does not open websites in the navigation toolbar. Nothing happens when I put in any normal web address.

Firefox now takes an enormously long time to open now that I have upgraded to 9.0.1. The bigger problem is that the navigation toolbar where I enter web addresses does not function when I hit the enter key or by selecting the small arrow key right next to the web address. Win7 64bit, no detectable viruses.

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

In the navigation Toolbar following the yellow bookmark star you find a small blue triangle. When you click it a number of bookmarks show up. How can I add new booksmark to be displayed out of my unsorted bookmarks? Thanks.

Dear Sir, Mam,
In the navigation toolbar on the right side of the bookmark yellow star you find a small blue triangle. When you click it, some of the selected bookmarks show up and can be called up immediately.
I have deleted some without problem, but I could not add new ones. I would like to have there at least 10 items.
Please explain how to add new bookmarked items to this shortcut list. Thank you, sincerely Th. Brandt. [email protected]

Is that the Bookmarks Menu button ?

"Add New Tab" button does not exist in the Window -Customize Toolbar, and not on my Navigator toolbar. Where can I find one to put on my Navigator toolbar, please?

I see "Add New Window" but..."Add New Tab" button does not exist in the Window -Customize Toolbar any longer, and not on my Navigator toolbar. Where can I find one to put on my Navigator toolbar, please?
Thanks

It's the "+" on the Tab bar. You can move it to the Navigation Toolbar if you prefer. When you start Customize, the + moves to the far right end of the Tab bar. You can drag it where you want (see attached image).
Any luck?

In Firefox 4 the dropdown menu next to the forward button in the Navigation Toolbar that allowed the user to select another page in the history to go back to is gone. Why?

In Firefox 3, the user could access a dropdown menu by hovering over a small black arrow next to the forward arrow in the Navigation Toolbar. This allowed the user to go to earlier pages in the browser history, rather than using the back button to go to the immediate previous page.
After updating to Firefox 4, this menu disappeared. Was it moved? Was it removed?
I found this feature to be very useful. Why was it changed?
Nick

There are two ways to get this: (1) Hold the back button until the menu appears (2) Right click the back button. See the screenshot below for reference.

My navigation toolbar doesn't work properly.

Normally, after i write the site i want to navigate (e.g : www.yahoo.com), and press enter, the site start navigate automatically. But now, after i press enter, nothing happens. It's not even loading.
My enter button is working properly. (i've tried it by writing something on notepad, and the enter button really worked). But at navigation toolbar, after i input the site i want to navigate and press enter, nothing happen. I have to click the arrow at the right side on navigation toolbar to start loading the page. Before, i don't have to do that. I only need to press enter. But now, the enter button didn't work. Anyone can help me?

I agree..this stinks..want to get 4.0 off as soon as possible..I want my tool bar back..without a maze of instructions!!!!...why cant they just leave something that works great alone..

Missing Main/Navigator Toolbar JDEV 904

I would like to know how to reset the look and feel of the Main/Navigator toolbars within JDEV 904. When I select View -> Toolbars - the toolbar is displayed, but only as a bar of one pixel height :(
I have tried to resize/drag n drop/open/close/minimise/maximise this "single pixel bar" - but with no success.
Can someone provide me some pointers on resetting the JDEV gui environment please.
thanks
Miles.

Hi Miles,
This is a known issue with JDeveloper 9.0.5 or earlier when you've terminated JDeveloper forcibly (e.g. killed the process by ctrl-c, task manager or a forced shutdown in Windows) while it's exiting. The cause of the problem is that the ide.properties file in your system directory has been corrupted.
To resolve it, copy ${jdev.home}/jdev/multi/system/ide.properties to ${jdev.home}/jdev/system9.0.4.x.x/
This issue is resolved in 10.1.3 (toolbar items are defined in extension manifests, which not written during termination of the ide).
Thanks,
Brian

Firefox 13.0.1 Navigation Toolbar changes height when clicking on tabs

Only happened today, no changes made to the system.
When I click on a tab the icon height of the Navigation toolbar icons decreases to a square for half a second and then returns to the deeper height (rectangle). This makes all the page below the menu bar jump . Rather distracting.
Hiding the Navigation toolbar obviously cures the problem but is not practical for obvious reasons.
Any ideas folks; anyone heard of this before?
Thanks in advance,
Mike.

Hi Chris; I tried changing the 'use small icons' setting back and forth when this problem first occurred and it made no difference to the problem.
I updated to FF14.0.1 this morning and tried ColorfulTabs again, and although the flicker was of a shorter duration the problem remained. FF14 does seem to load the tabs a little quicker so that's probably the reason for the faster flicker.
I shall have to live without ColorfulTabs until I find a fix or they update it.
Thanks for your help.
Mike.

Search on Navigation Toolbar refuses to work after clicking enter or the search button when a word is typed. How can this be fixed?

Everything was working fine until just a few days ago. I was using Firefox 3.6.13 at that time. All of a sudden, when I attempted to do google searches on the navigation toolbar (top right), after inputing a word it is impossible to make the browser run the search onto the google website tab. I attempted a clean re-install, but it did not work. I also tried Minefield (Firefox 4 64-bit), and it also failed. What else should I do?

Rename [http://kb.mozillazine.org/search.sqlite search.sqlite] to search.sqlite.old in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] to to test is there is a problem with the file.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_search_or_add_new_engines
Create a new profile exclusively for the 4.0 beta version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile.
