No menus, buttons, address bar after installing Firefox4=unusable browser

After upgrading to Firefox 4, my previously open tabs open, my bookmark tab is displayed (in the wrong order: first tabs then bookmarks is not the work sequence). But I don't have any buttons, menu bar, address bar, or search bar. There is a Firefox single "Menu" that drops down 2 columns of 11 and 6 options, respectively (what kind of a hideous menu is that on a 1920*1200 screen?). No View menu, which is what I need to fix the mess created by the installer. BTW: Even though the look of FF4 is crisper than FF3, whoever was to design the user interface paradigm didn't know what they were doing. This UI is not user workflow oriented, see my comment above about bookmark and tab sequence. Why is the currently open tab visually associated with all bookmarks in the bookmarks toolbar? Etc, etc.... Whatever, your choice, when I start hating it enough I'll switch to Chrome. Until then, please help me get menus back.

@ ''emlynn'', there are articles available on the Mozilla site which discuss the changes made to later versions.
However, on this particular occasion, I have to agree with you. I really don't understand why the new layout doesn't include a "File" menu. Mental aberration on the part of the developers methinks.
It's certainly not logical that a user has to go through this rigmarole to access the menu which disables "Work Offline".
But, in your own particular case, you need to update to v3.6.17 by clicking '''Help''', then '''Check For Updates''' a.s.a.p.
The reason for this is because there was a security breach at Comodo which is an SSL certificate provider recently whereby a number of fraudulent certificates were inadvertently issued. These allow a hacker to impersonate any site including online banking and the Firefox version you're running at the moment will not warn you that the site is a fake. The fraudulent certificates were blacklisted in v3.6.17 and beyond.

  • No cursor in address bar after opening new tab

    Hi,
    after installing FF 29.0.1, when I open a new tab the cursor isn't focused on the address bar, or anything else for that matter.
    If I run FF in safe mode it works and the focus is on the address bar. If I disable all my extensions manually and start FF in normal mode it doesn't work.
    I looked at that thread https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/972359 already, but that didn't help much.
    What can I do to fix this?
    Cheers

    Thanks for answering.
    Just tried it now and unfortunately it didn't help. Disabled both, but still no cursor in the address bar after opening a new tab.
    I won't be around my computer for a few days, so it'll take me some time to respond.

  • Menus totally messed up after installing Firefox 4

    After installing 4.0 - a weird gray, double layer of toolbar icons appears above the navigation bar. This doubling also appears in other ways on preference panes. Moving from preference, settting windows back to homepage results in disappearance of usable menus. Something seems to be corrupted. Turning off extensions does not fix this. Any ideas? I had to revert to 3.6 as 4.0 was unusable.

    Thanks. Didn't work. I had to trash the firefox folder containing profiles in application support folder. That fixed the issue. I then re-imported a back up copy of bookmarks.

  • I no longer have an address bar after updating firefox???

    After I updated firefox a few weeks ago, I don't have an address bar anymore.

    If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.
    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
    * If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
    * If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
    * If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

  • No cursor in address bar after opening a new tab on full screen mode

    Hello all!
    When opening a new tab in full screen mode, I noticed that the cursor dissappears from the address bar. Since I cannot write the address without clicking the bar, I think this is a very annoying issue...
    Does anyone have the same problem?
    Thank you.

    Try resetting Safari. From the menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.

  • Tab, Back button, address bar.....

    Sorry for the double post. Original was posted in the wrong forum.
    Lately, when I click on the tab button or command tab nothing happens (it does not open a tab).
    2. When I attempt to click the back button same result, nothing happens. Now, I can use the delete button to go back to the previous page.
    3. Clicking on the home button does nothing as well. For example it will display the home page, www.apple.com in address window, but it actually does not open the page. The same applies to the google search bar. When I type a search word, the address appears in the address bar of safari but without any results. It is also happens when type directly into the address bar.
    It seems that the toolbar just locks up (can't add, refresh or exit any page). This quite annoying.
    I have emptied the cache, reset safari, deleted the plist and still nothing. Any suggestions?
    PS
    Sorry for the long essay.

    HI,
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
    Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
    

Web pages now include a small icon or 'favicon' which is visible in the address bar and next to bookmarks. These icons take up disk space and slow Safari down. It is possible to erase the icons from your computer and start fresh. *To delete Safari's icon cache using the Finder, open your user folder, navigate to ~/Library/Safari/ and move this file "webpageIcons.db to the Trash.*
    bpageIcons.db to the Trash.*
    Make sure Safari is not running in Rosetta. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle so it faces down. Where you see Open using Rosetta... *make sure that is NOT selected*.
    From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences and select the Autofill tab. Click the Edit button next to; Other forms. Delete both .google.com and .apple.com and click Done. Relaunch Safari and see if you can access both sites now.

    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, Put the tool back.

    Yes, it confuses a handful of you. Just not the other 3 million plus users who downloaded it. Maybe tell Apple instead of yelling at we other users.

    ps. googled that in 2 seconds in main search bar.

  • No back button, address bar

    When accessing my ISP homepage (RoadRunner) I no longer have a web address bar nor a back button. I asked RoadRunner about it and they said it is an Apple issue. I downloaded Safari 4 beta, but still no address window or back button. I had one up until about a week ago when Road Runner updated their homepage. Any ideas?

    Have you tried Safari>View>Show Toolbar or Customize Toolbar?

  • All help menus no longer work after installing Mavericks

    After installing Mavericks on my iMac all help menus no longer work. You still get the drop down box which contains the search window and other choices, but if you try clicking on them the screen just flashes or you might get a box that says " safari help is not available". It does this system wide, doesn't matter what application your in. My internet works fine but for some reason in Mavericks the help menus are not accessing this information. Anyone else have this problem? Or an answer?
    Thank you!

    Finally, a quick restart of the mac and all help menus are working again.

  • Most of my drop down menus showing faded black after installing final cut pro x.. Any ideas?

    I recently just installed final cut pro x on my computer. After installing it and rebooting, I noticed that my login picture was faded and orange looking and my drop down menus fonts are thick black text instead of the normal and certain menus are faded and blackened out looking. Any ideas? I have a Macbook pro 2.4GHz core 2 duo with 8GB 1067 MHz DDR3 running Lion 10.7.3  ...
    The only thing i can think of is the final cuts pro software that maybe did it because nothing else was installed or downloaded.
    Furthermore, is there a good software that Apple suggest as far as cleaning your computer and optimizing it's performance? I DO NOT want Mackeeper or any of that mess.
    Your help is appreciated

    Appreciate your help Ian and others.   I have since uninstalled FCS and reinstalled FCXP only to get the same thing. Loading FCXP stalls at "Looking for Compressor Support".  When I first downloaded FCXP from the App store I didn't notice that FCS was being placed in it's own folder.  It's not something I did manually.  Although moved into it's own folder with FCXP on the same drive.  I was not able to open FCS apps. They would load and then "quit unexpectantly".  They opened just fine before I downloaded FCXP.  Do I need to purchase Compressor so that FCXP recognizes it? It seems this is where it stalls. It doesn't explain however why my computer "FREEZES" while doing this.  I am in the process of re-installing Lion to see if this helps, otherwise I am at a complete loss. 

  • Safari Not Showing Web Address in Address Bar after Lion Update

    Sometimes the address bar is blank (save the "Go to this address" message.) Other times, it reads only the hompage address for a site I visit. For example, if I'm reading CNN.com, it will only show "www.cnn.com" no matter what page within cnn.com I go. So, for example, if I want to copy the address of a certain article, I cannot copy it from the address bar as that will only give me "http://www.cnn.com."
    Other times, if I visit cnn.com, for example, and then create a new tab and go to apple.com, the new tab will not show apple's web address, but remain as cnn.com's address. If I decide I need to reload apple's website, it will reload CNN's as that is what's in the address bar.
    Does anyone have a fix to this?

    this happened to me too.  for one reason or another, the url address disappeared and i kept getting "go to this address".  but found this to work:
    1. minimize your screen
    2.  under the "view" menu, click "show toolbar". 
    3. when you maximize your screen, the url address should now be there. 
    hope it works.

  • Return key does not work in address bar after updating to Firefox 10

    I just updated to Firefox 10. The return key will no longer work in the address bar. I have to manually click on the "go to" arrow. Are there any fixes for this? Thanks!

  • Can not type in address bar after updating Firefox

    I can not place the cursor and type in the address bar and search boxes (e.g. the one on the Firefox support page).

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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.
