Orange Firefox Button Is No Longer Aligned With Tabs In Firefox 28

A few days ago I was extremely happy with the browser that I was using, although after I was forced into upgrading to what was probably one of the ugliest and most unusable interfaces ever conceived (really, what is it with the internet and thinking that forcing gigantic changes on users with no option to revert is a good thing? If I had no problems using Firefox before, then I most certainly wasn't asking for a terrible change that would completely move (or in some cases even remove) all of features that I frequently used), I had no choice but to downgrade to Firefox 28 (please don't give me a lecture about the security risks, after trying to use 29 and getting extremely frustrated about how it was far LESS easy to use that 28, I really don't care at this point).
So, since reinstalling Firefox 28, the Orange Firefox button (which most definitely didn't need to be replaced with some other terrible button, as the Firefox Button already worked perfectly fine) is no longer aligned on the same line as my tabs, and instead floats above them for some reason. If anyone can help me fix this problem I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

The problem exists whether the window is maximized or not, although I do usually like to keep all of my windows maximized.
Thanks for the reply.

The firefox button used to be on the left, with tabs lined up beside it reaching the top of the screen. Now the firefox button is on its own, with tabs on the row below it. This wastes a lot of space at the top of my screen, can I put it back how it was?

Previously, the firefox button was at the top left and tabs lined up beside it, so that the top of the tabs reached right to the top of the screen. Close/minimise etc. were at top right.
Two days ago, it switched so that the firefox button is at top left, close/minimise etc. are still at top left, but now the tabs are on a row below, leaving a gap at the top where I can see through to the desktop. There is also a larger border than before round the whole firefox browser window, more wasted space.
I have the windows 7 quick links bar at the top of my desktop, now that firefox has left a gap above the tabs it means it is easier to accidentally hover over the bar when changing tabs, this is annoying as it brings it to the front and disrupts the ability to change tabs quickly.

-> Tap '''ALT''' key or press '''F10''' to show the Menu Bar
-> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> select/unselect '''Taps on Top'''
Check and tell if its working.

Where is the "firefox button" that is used to change tab location ("click on the Firefox button, go over to the Options... arrow and uncheck Tabs on Top. ")

Where is the "firefox button" that is used to change tab location ("click on the Firefox button, go over to the Options... arrow and uncheck Tabs on Top. ") (from article).
The "Tools" menu has an "Options" selection, but I cannot find in any of those menus a selection controlling the location of the tabs. Where is the "Firefox Button" referred to in the article "Why are tabs on Top?"

If you turn on the classic menu bar, that replaces the orange Firefox button. To get the Firefox button back, right-click the menu bar to display the toolbars list, and uncheck Menu Bar.
You can always temporarily display the classic menu bar by tapping the Alt key or pressing F10.
The toolbar list pop-up also lets you control Tabs on Top.

How do I get back the 'open new tab' button (+ sign at right end of tabs) in Firefox 4 ?

How do I get back the 'open new tab' button (+ sign at right end of tabs) in Firefox 4 ? I realize there is a 'new tab' button at the right end of the toolbar but I like the new tab function placed next the tabs ?

The "Use custom settings for history" setting allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting that setting doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.<br />
Firefox shows the "Use custom settings for history" setting as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.<br />
If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".<br />

My Firefox button has totally disappeared, along with bookmarks tab. It opens immediately into a web page and only the open page tabs appear. Help.

touchpad seems hyperactive and I can't figure out how to fix that either, but things change when I'm just trying to move the cursor around.

You only see the orange Firefox button if the menu bar is hidden: View > Toolbars > [ ] Menu Bar
Most likely you are showing the Menu Bar. Right click on a toolbar space and uncheck Menu Bar - the Firefox button should appear. You can toggle from one to the other.

The firefox button is no longer on the top of the page and i can'd find it

the search engine bar at the top disappears and only reappears when i move my cursor up there and it didn't use to do that. also, the firefox button is not there either. i uninstalled and then reinstalled firefox but it didn't change anything. can you help? can i have the old version back?

You are either in Full Screen mode - press F11, or
Showing the Menu Bar(File, Edit etc) - right click on toolbar space and uncheck Menu Bar.

Why is my IBM Scroll button no longer working with the new Firefox?

I just downloaded the new Firefox onto my IBM ThinkPad. This laptop has a center button for the mouse that I have been able to use to scroll down webpages on the previous version of Firefox installed on my computer. However, with the new version it no longer works. Is it because there is a setting that was automatically programed and is something I can change or is the permanent feature of the new Firefox. If it is the latter, then I am disappointed and would rather use the older Firefox version.

Re-installing Pages through Appstore has fixed the problem.
Thank you

I have a 4-way scroll button on my Acer that no longer works with the current firefox. Is there a way to make it work? It is frustrating enough that I will probably go to another brouser until this problem gets fixed.

The button used to work until I upgraded, now it doesn't. The button still works for other documents and if I use Internet Explorer Browser. I have windows vista. Any suggestions?

Thanks, Lawrence. I figured that was what I was going to have to do in the end. I have a few games with quite a few hours invested, and I worry that I'll lose the progress I have as they do not save to the cloud. I may have to bite the bullet, and just take the plunge to resolve this. I just want a way to easily transfer my "Home Computer" for my iPhone. My laptop is years old and in need of being replaced, and it's about time to upgrade my phone. These life events piling up are making me consider switching to a friendlier OS. I'm not using this as a threat. I just hope some apple high up will read this, and realize that we need alternatives. Life happens.
Thank you both Paul and Lawrence. I clicked "This helped me" not knowing it would remove the option to choose "This fixed my problem" too. For anyone else reading this thread. Using the guide provided has done both. It has helped me and given me a fix to my current problem. Lawrence has also provided me with the last bit of information I feel is missing from wjosten's guide. That syncing will completely erase all of your data and reinstall it in one fell swoop. It's a great fix. Even if it isn't the exact one I wanted. Thank you again!

Yahoo "hyperlink" button is no longer working with latest update 3.6.6 yahoo edition 1.7

I was prompted today to update Firefox to version 3.6.6, Mozilla Firefox Yahoo! Edition Yahook 1.7. After I installed the update, I noticed that in Yahoo! Mail some of the buttons above the message field are no longer active. I'm no longer able to click the "emoticon" icon, the "hyperlink" icon, or any of the remaining alignment buttons to the right of the previously mentioned. Those buttons have become locked, "unclickable" and they no longer show any alt text, therefore I'm unable to tell you the exact names of the buttons. (My main concern is the "hyperlink" icon.)
However, I AM ABLE to click the following buttons:
-Spell check
- Font face
- Font size
- Bold
- Italic
- Underline
- Text color
- Highlight color
(and that's where the working buttons stop)
Any assistance would appreciated.

It's not a hardware issue. I have the exact same circumstance. After being prompted and then updating the software on my shuffle, it quit working. All I get is the green-orange flashing light. iTunes recognizes it's connected, restore works, and syncing works, but the shuffle does not work.

I have an HP TouchSmart laptop, which comes with a fingerprint reader that uses the DigitalPersona extension, and this extension is no longer compatible with the new Firefox. Is this going to be fixed?

I have checked the Add-ons manager and the website for information about this problem, but there is no new information. It just says that this extension is not supported.

Selenium no longer working with upgrade of Firefox 22

I just upgraded to Firefox 22 from 21 now all of my Selenium tests are breaking. Is anyone else having this issue and do you know how to fix it? Thanks
Here is the error I am getting:
[error] Unexpected Exception: fileName -> chrome://selenium-ide/content/selenium-core/scripts/htmlutils.js, lineNumber -> 309, columnNumber -> 8
These test were running great before the upgrade.

All,
3Dee here again. I was able to solve my problem by upgrading my Selenium. Fixes were made to Selenium to support FF 22.
Thanks to all who made the fixes!

The menu bar and task bar are missing. I tried opening in safe mode like instructed but there is no firefox button and I tried opening with shift key down but it doesn't open in safe mode.

all that is showing is bookmark tabs. I can't search or open my home page. I don't have a fire fox button at the top to click on to open in safe mode.

# Maybe you are in ''Full screen'' mode. Use the '''F11''' key to enter or exit this mode.
# Press the '''Alt''' key and while keeping it pressed, press these keys: '''V T M'''. Do you see the menu bar now?

Help! Java no longer works with IE or Firefox

This all started when I downloaded JRE ...whatever the latest version is. Java was working fine in both browsers. Then I installed JRE so I could run some Java program (which works fine), but now, it doesn't work in the Internet browsers. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but still it doesn't work.
Help is appreciated! A lot of basic websites are useless without it. Thanks

Open the Windows Control Panel, there should be a Java entry. Open it and click the Java tab | Applet Runtime Settings | View, and verify that it shows the 1.5.0_01 JRE.
Then click the Advanced tab | "<APPLET> tag support"; Internet Explorer should be checked. If it's not, check it.
Open the IE Tools menu, there should be a Sun Java Console entry. If it's there, click it - it should open the Java Console, showing version 1.5.0_01.
At this point, IE should work. FF problems are a matter of FF settings, I can't help.
If after this IE isn't working, then Java is trashed, removal of Java and reinstall is probably needed. It may be necessary to manually clean the Registry. If there are multiple versions, remove them all. Reinstall 1.5.0_01 last.

(06 Oct 14) updated firefox and Kaspersky, now have problems with Barclays site - firefox "not responding" and plugin error on trying to close. Help!

Updated Kaspersky to 15.0.0.463(a) - ( comes with "safe money" - now turned off).
Updated Firefox from (old) version to 32.0.3.
Barclays bank site loads properly, and allows access to accounts BUT when I try to look at a statement, Firefox "not responding" and a blank/ unresponsive page is displayed.
In order to acheive any movement I have to close firefox... this gives rise to windows wanting to send error data, and Firefox apologising for loosing the tab.
None of which allows me to do essential banking transactions.
It is this machine that has the problem - I can access without problems via work computer (using google Chrome)

My guess is that your statement is a PDF document, since banks and other companies often use that format for statements.
Firefox has various options for viewing PDFs, including a built-in PDF viewer (not as full featured as Adobe's), or the option to use a plugin such as Adobe Acrobat, or to launch the PDF in an external application. This article describes how to experiment with that setting: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]].
On another subject, your plugin list has various plugins described as "Google Chrome Extension". I haven't seen that before. Could you review the list and see whether they really should be active in Firefox or can be deactivated?
Open the Add-ons page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins.
For those that are not essential, I suggest changing them to "Never Activate". This might not take effect immediately in that window, but should disable them in new windows.
