Only the menu bar is showing with Firefox, have Mac OS X 10.7.3, started yesterday, apparently randomly, or was it those pesky meddling kids? how to retrieve whole page?

Only menu bar is coming up when I use firefox. Started apparently randomly yesterday but children may have interfered with it.
Want full page back so I can use it. Sorry if this a massively obvious question but can't seem to solve it. All help greatly appreciated.

Try to remove the Firefox plist file (org.mozilla.firefox.plist).

    You got me experimenting ... and it was viewing the display with the green button (rather than amber) on the left that revealed the menu bar.  Hovering didn't do it.  Thanks for your help.  First time in Apple Support.

    How do I open photoshop? I have it downloaded and only the Adobe Application manager shows with the list of other software. I clicked on photoshop, but not responding.

    Nobody can know. Your information is far too vague - no system info, no other details. Just saying that it doesn't work is not conducive to providing assistance...

  • Why to I have a blue haze on the photos and on the menu bars of apps?  I have Intel iMac running OSX 10.7.5

    Why to I have a blue haze on the photos and on the menu bars of apps.  I have Intel iMac running OSX 10.7.5.  This problem just started.  All my photos are corurpted with a blue haze.

    Here is another photo with the wierd blue circle in the sky taken with a DSLR.  This did not appear until recently and now I see it on all photos and also when I print the photo.

  • The bookmarks sidebar will not show bookmarks. Even if I import them or restore them. In the menu bar they show up fine. How can this be fixed?

    If I open the bookmark's sidebar it's empty. If I use the Menu Bar, the bookmarks are all there. I tried importing them from Internet Explorer but they still do not show up on the sidebar. I also tried restoring but they still don't show in the sidebar. After restoring and importing, I now see 3 bookmarks but that's all. I also am unable to delete those 3 bookmarks as "delete" is grayed out. Also, if I try to bookmark a page through the bookmarks in the menu bar, and I want to select a different folder, I can only see 5 items down, where as before I could choose if I wanted to save the bookmark in an existing folder of my creation which was further down. Is there a way to fix this?

    hello Cronus, you might have to expand the default entries (toolbar, menu, unsorted) in your sidebar first before you get to your actual bookmarks/folders.
    otherwise please try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once, to rule out the interference of any addons: [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    in order to specify the exact path of a newly created bookmark click on the arrow at the right side of the folder field as shown in the screenshot attached.

  • All I get in the menu bar when I open Firefox IS "Firefox"--no bookmarks, no nothing. How canI get bookmarks back and Firefox functioning.

    I have used Firefox forever. (I also use Thunderbird.) When I opened Firefox all I get now in the menu bar is the word "Firefox" with the "About Firefox," "Preferences," etc. list. Nothing else. I cannot open Firefox and I cannot quit it, either. I can do nothing with it at all. How can I get it back. I need my hundreds of bookmarks.
    I use a MAC with Lion 10.7.5
    Please help. Thank you.

  • My Favorites, imported from Explorer, used to appear in the Menu bar as "Favorites," now I have to menu down thru bookmarks to find them. Why did this change all of a sudden?

    The last few weeks, my firefox has been acting up. Sometimes when I load it, my RoboCom Icon does not appear, sometimes it does. Now, I lost "Favorites" in my menu bar.

    Check that you still have the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar.
    Make sure that all the toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
    * Check in "View > Toolbars > Customize" that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
    * If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the Customize window onto the Bookmarks Toolbar
    * If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" or other items that are missing in the toolbar palette or on a toolbar then click the "Restore Default Set" button

  • PDF menu bar not showing in firefox by default :(

    When I open a PDF in Firefox the PDF menu bar doesn't show and I need to press the function key (fn) and f8 for it to show every time I download a PDF. Is there anyway of having the PDF menu bar show by default?

    A link to the live page would help us more than code fragments. 
    In the meantime, run your code through the W3C validation tools & fix reported errors.  Browser display problems are almost always caused by coding errors.

  • Asian words poping up on the Menu Bar and Tabs on Firefox Why?

    Have you checked our known issues page? If your issue is not there, please provide a detailed description here:
    Yes this has been happening to me only on Firefox. I have used Malwarebytes Anti-malware(it stops a lot this software) to protect from this. But it is still occurring! I have McAfee as my principle anti-virus and us also a very good malware called Trojan Killer this operates in the background like Malwarebytes Anti-malware. And monthly or bi-weekly I download the new version of Adwcleaner which cleans crap out of everything, registry, malware ads, popup ads etc. So why this is happening with the Asian Lettering is baffling it is on Windows 7 as my OS. It is also annoying too you can not tell what the tabs are on the menu of Firefox, the Asian words cover or distort the screen!!!!
    If I rebot the computer it will be gone for a couple of hours and then slowly come back on Firefox's tabs!
    Any Ideas?????

    hi, some other affected users tied the issue to the mcafee site advisor extension - please try to disable or remove that in case you have it present.

  • When I expand the address bar it shows sites I have visited in the past, how can I clear this?

    When I go to my address bar and click on the small arrow to the right the bar expands to show sites I have visited in the past. The only problem is that these are sites I have visited a LONG time ago. I want to clear these sites and populate this drop down feature with more recent web sites I visit more frequently.

    Thanks so much! That was exactly what I needed. But I do have a follow up question; how is it that items end up in your location bar history?

  • Can you change the colour of the menu bar, it's grey, you have a job to see bookmarks,history,printer icons. Is there a way to colour them to make them easier to see.Already using large icons, but still difficult to see icons for elderly relative.

    FF4 superb, install it yeasterday, but the only gripe is the grey menu bar, been in to customize, but no opitions to change/ add colour.

    You can do that by using a theme such as Firefox 3 theme for Firefox 4 - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/firefox-3-theme-for-firefox

  • A few days ago, Firefox became too big for my screen. I have to move the the cursor to the very top to get the menu bar to show, and then it only stays if I hold the cursor there. Very annoying.

    The bottom of the browser window is also below the bottom of the screen.

    Yreka! Must have hit F11. Hit it again and toggled away to regular view. Thank you.

  • How do I get the Menu Bar to show File, Edit, Find, View, etc. in the Organize view?

    All I can find is two little > which is very hard to see.  However if I click on it it does have all the titles there. 

    Go to the control panel and check dpi scaling under Appearance or Display.
    It’s not uncommon to see a setting of 125% or higher to improve screen readability but PSE9 requires a dpi of 96 or 100%
    Whilst the Editor Menu will appear at 120% the Organizer Menu (and the advanced button in downloader) won’t.
    Try a setting of 115% or 116% otherwise 100%. A common display resolution, notably for notebooks/laptops and netbooks is 1024 x 768 but PSE9 requires a screen height of 800 for full functionality.
     

  • HT3737 I have a new mac with Lion but I don't have a menu bar. How do I launch the menu bar?

    I just booted up a new mac-mini that came with Lion. However, I don't have a menu bar.  Is there a setting I need to change?

    If it's a fresh installation that is going through its initial boot sequence then you will need to run through utilities to set up your account, which may not show the menu bar. Once logged into your account the menu bar should show up. What happens when you click the little blue smily face icon in the Dock at the bottom of your screen (this is the Finder icon)?

  • How do i add my name to show in the menu bar, i had the date, time and my user name showing in the menu bar before, but can't remember how to do it. Thank you.

    I'm having trouble figuring out how to add the user name in the menu bar. I used to have it showing along with the time & date etc. But i've looked everywhere trying to figure out how to do it. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
    Thank you.

    The following is old but may still be valid with Yosemite (it addresses how to remove the name but indirectly also how to display it): http://osxdaily.com/2012/01/10/remove-user-name-from-menu-bar-os-x/
