No task bar, no apps bar, when firefox opens

When I open Fire fox, I don't have task bar or upper bar with apps,I,m prompted to restore previous page, browser appears without task bar and upper bar with apps

Hello,
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive & clear caches.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

  • Why there is an icon in the task bar when Firefox is running?!

    There is an icon in task bar, and some popup channels upon left-click.
    I have been using Firefox for many years because it's CLEAN but this icon makes me feeling uncomfortable. I don't find the way to disable this icon in options or somewhere else.

    The iTunes Icon on the task bar;
    You need iTunes Preferences:
    Edit>>Preferences>>Advanced tab.
    Can you find that? There is a checkbox near the bottom: "Show iTunes icon in system tray".
    The safe mode start: You need to press ctrl shift and then open iTunes, keep holding ctrl shift until iTunes opens.
    Any program that you have that makes use of your iTunes library could potentially prevent iTunes closing as it has to be open in order for another program to access iTunes info.
    Another thing that can cause problems is Bonjour. You can try stopping the bonjour service and then opening iTunes - then check if it closes.
    The following article include instructions for stopping bonjour:

    If you want a brute force way of looking for other things interfering with iTunes, try MSConfig:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2292?viewlocale=en_US
    There is a link to the XP version on the page if necessary.
    This is a diagnostic method, not a solution.

  • How do I disable the MP3Tube tool bar when Firefox opens? I have already unchecked it in the views menu, under toolbar. It disappears when I do that, but comes back every time I reopen Firefox.

    When I log on to Firefox, the home page displays a tool bar called "MP3 Tube" powered by Yahoo. I would like to remove that toolbar permanently from my start up page. I have tried to uncheck it in the View menu under Toolbars, but it reappears every time I log off and log back on to Firefox.

    You're welcome

  • Firefox 4 is not appearing in Task bar or some times it is Disappearing from task bar when i am minimising the window. so, i had to go to Task manager and find the icon.Its becoming big messy if tabs are not found , to switch programmes.

    firefox icon is missing from "Task bar"when i am minimising the window

    I am unwilling to attempt navigation away from these sites. The pop-ups that occur on the attempt to leave a site or to close the browser are exit traps offering incentive to stay.
    Once upon a time, when the internet was less dangerous, I would be willing to close the exit pop-ups. Now, after twice being infected with malware trying to close the pop-ups, I now force close whichever browser I am using.
    Recently, I clicked on the red X to close one pop-up, and it installed a trojan that I had to pay to be removed. When I clicked on 'Leave' in another exit pop, it didn't exit and it turned out I was giving permission to run a script file. Now that criminals have learned these exit pop-ups can be used to force a click action, the sites using them have become dangerous.
    If I force the browser to close using Task manager, Please tell me how to stop FireFox from sending me directly back to the same site because it mistakenly believes it crashed when it did not. I forced it to close because I was on a site that had taken control of my browser and was not allowing me to leave the site.
    No other browser sends me back to the potentially dangerous sites. I prefer Firefox, but the new version must have a setting that allows me to get safely away from a problem site?

  • There is no search bar when I open Firefox.

    there is no search bar when I open Firefox. I've been having to use Safari to type in a web address. This started just today

    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible.
    *View > Toolbars (press F10 to display the menu bar)
    Use Toolbar Layout (Customize) to open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.
    *check that "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
    *if "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette into the Customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
    *if missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them 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 setup

  • When firefox opens it had Incredimail as the search engine. I disengaged that, now have nothing there, but Incredimail still shows in the upper left by the tool bars. How can I get rid of this and get back a search engine that I want?

    When Firefox opens here is NO toolbar! But Incredimail shows as something up there, even though I deleted it from my Firefox Home page. I do not want anything to do with Incredimail. How do I correct all of this and get a server that I want?

    That file could be set as a Launch Agent or Daemon in your ~/Library or /Library, You could try to look for it or Safeboot your computer and then empty the trash. Safebooting disables Launch Agents/Daemon and Third Party Kernal extensions. Here's the article to Safeboot OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support

  • When I set up an App Tab the original tab and the App Tab are both there when Firefox opens next time

    When I set up an App Tab the original tab and the App Tab are both there when Firefox opens next time. I have tried saving the current tabs, etc but that doesn't help.

    I had this problem after I installed an update for Java. Firefox also stopped remembering my open tabs from last time. I disabled all of the Java plug-ins, restarted, and it's worked great ever since. Haven't missed Java yet either.

  • Running Windows XP service pack 3. Updated Firefox from 8.0 to 9.0. Now when Firefox opens "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded" is displayed in a window and no home page appears. What's wrong?

    Running Windows XP service pack 3. Updated Firefox from 8.0 to 9.0. Now when Firefox opens "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded" is displayed in a window and no home page appears. What's wrong?

    That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    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.

  • Firefox 8.0 occasionally disappears from task bar when minimized but keeps running

    Running Firefox 8.0 on Windows XP, have 12 tabs open. Occasionally, when I minimize Firefox, it disappears from the task bar. I know that Firefox is still running because one of the open tabs is a radio station stream on Silverlight. The only way to get Firefox back is to click a link in an email then Firefox will open in a new tab (it is my default browser)

    I am guessing it is because you minimise Firefox to the Windows Xp task bar but have ot either locked that or set it to be on top so it may disappear from view.
    When the task bar is visible left click any space area on the taskbar the popup will have options including
    * '''''lock task bar''''' if you tick that the task bar stays the same size
    * '''''properties''''' if you click on that you get other options for customising the task bar
    * also see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taskbar

    I solved this by clicking the 3 horizontal bars (Open Menu) at top right of screen, then clicked "Menu Bar" in the options shown. Suddenly my toolbar and task bar appeared on the screen and stayed.
