Panorama (Group Tabs) search bar won't close

Whenever I click the panorama icon to view my tab groups, the search bar automatically pops up, blacking out everything and making it difficult to click on things to move them or label groups. How can I solve this?

Hi,
Please check if this happens in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode]. Safe mode disables the installed '''Extensions''', and themes ('''Appearance''') in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons'''. Hardware acceleration is also temporarily disabled - the manual setting is '''Tools''' > '''Options''' > '''Advanced''' > '''General''' > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Advanced%20panel?as=u '''Use hardware acceleration when available''']. All these settings/options/add-ons can also be individually or collectively disabled/enabled/changed in Firefox normal mode to check if an extension, theme, option or hardware acceleration is causing issues. Disabling/enabling hardware acceleration, and some types of add-ons in normal mode may require a Firefox restart.

I added Panorama Group Tabs and I don't like the way it works. I want to remove it but can't find or figure out a way to. Can you please tell me how it can be removed permanently? Thanks!

That link doesn't tell you how to remove the Panoroma Tab Groups!! My main issue with it is that along my tabs at the top I no longer have the tab to open a new tab. Instead I have to click on the tab groups and then open them and click on an open area in the tab to get a new tab opened!! Is there a way to add that? I don't see that when I go to customize the tool bar as there's no icon to add it, just one to open a new window, which I don't want to do!! Thanks!!

Tabs are unresponsive, won't close when x is clicked, and there is NO "New Tab" + anywhere on the toolbar.

I cannot open new tabs manually. There is no + to do it with. When Mozilla opened Troubleshooting info in new tabs, I can't close them by clicking the x. They won't close. I tried restarting Firefox, then I restarted the entire computer, but it won't correct itself.

move new tab [+] on the tabs bar to the right side of Navigation bar for the white on black new tab indicator. That is item #5 in the following
You can make '''Firefox 6.0.2''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)].

There is a lot more beyond those first 10 steps listed, if you want to make Firefox more functional.

My group tabs are lost once I close Firefox. According to the NY times article of April 21 2011, these tabs are supposed to stay on your browser after you shut it down.

Are these group tabs supposed to stay on your browser ?

I have the same problem. As soon as I close Firefox and start a new session, the tab groups are gone. And No, "clear history" is not checked in my settings either. Please fix this - this is a great feature and I would love to use it! (Running FF 4.0 on Win Vista, 64 bit system.)

I just tried the 'group tabs' function but when I close a window and open a new one, the last page I viewed opens every single time. I can't remove or ignore the group tabs function and it automatically opens with it. How can I stop this?

Before I attempted using the 'groups tab' function for the first time, there was no icon (unlike currently). There is now the icon with for the function yet I am unable to remove it or its function.

Try a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder and desktop shortcut before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 23.0: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

My search bar won't search

When I type in something I'm looking for it will not respond when I hit enter. I can type an address in and it will load it. I have to search for things by typing google.com, then what ever I need to find in their search bar/field. I recently installed an update but I'm not sure what it was for. It just kept appearing and I wanted to get rid of it so I did it. This is bring back HORRIBLE memories from my PC days. Good gosh, someone please help!. Thanks.

My search bar won't search any old e-mails from senders

When I search for old e-mails by putting in an e-mail address and drop down bar from "senders" my search does NOTHING. It's so frustrating....tthe search bar SUCKS. It does nada.

I'm having two problems: a) the browser won't load unless I go through profile manager and at time it won't even load from there and b) the search bar won't search it does nothing as does some links like your link to live chat

This has only started happening after my last firefox update. I tried a reinstall as well with no luck

Wow that was really quick, thank you so much. Im not sure at all which version it was because i said it was around 4 years ago he bought it. I know it isn't under his username, since he's a PC person (ugh) so i know its probably registered to one of our actual names. isn't there some way to look it up since we did register it, because I'm not even sure where the disks are from when we bought it (we've moved a lot and also have two storage lockers, i know i would have kept it with other disks) but my cd rom drive is actually broken on my computer as well ( i think it got stepped on and is now squished and won't eject or run disks.)
So is there anyway they can look up that its registered to one of our names since we did register it when we bought and installed it, or do i really have to find the disk with some sort of proof of purchase (i know there would be no receipt after all this time)
either way, ill do what you suggested to the best of my abilities and thank you so much for answering my questions, i can't even open the program as its incompatible and find out the info from that) so I'm in a bit of a pickle and your response was so thorough and it didn't seem to be posted long enough to even write a well researched response, thanks, all the best,

After install of firefox 4 no refresh or stop button and home button on the har side of the google search bar under the close page how do i put the buttons back were they belongby the back button?

i uninstalled and re installed and same thing even used a different install file it installed fine on laptop had to go back to firefox 3.something till someone can tell me whats wrong

Please click the '''Helpful''' button next to the answer that solved your Firefox support issue, '''when you are logged in''', so this thread gets marked as '''Solved'''.

My search bar won't work on my machine:

I've tried to reinstall Windows 10 without affecting my files but it comes up with 'Some files are missing. Your Windows Installation or Recovery Media will provide these files'. I have both my Flash drives connected up.

Did you reset network settings Kelly ?
If not, tap Settings / General / Reset / Reset Network Settings.
Then restart your iPod.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Tap Settings / Messages. Make sure iMessage is switched to ON.

When I 'Tab Groups,' the search function immediately pops up (and it won't go away) every time, preventing me from accessing my grouped tabs. How can I prevent this from happening?

Using Firefox 5.0 with Windows 7 on a laptop, whenever I click the 'Group Tabs' icon to the right of my tabs, the search function immediately comes up over my grouped tabs, preventing me from using any of them. When the search function comes up, the screen goes semi-dark and the search bar appears - any text I type at this time is entered into the search bar (the search function works normally). If I click any section of the screen at this time the search function disappears and the screen regains color - but only for a fraction of a second, and then the search function comes up again, along with the darkened screen. Hitting 'escape' or 'backspace' produces the same effect. Is there any way to disable this unceasing search function?

This is something you need to report via the Feedback button (or use the link on the Help menu).
Firefox 5.0 is still in BETA and not slated for release until June 21.
Reinstall the full version of the current release which is v4.0.1, download link at the top of this forum.

Every other time FF is launched, address bar is static, 1st tab won't close.

This problem only happens every other time I open Firefox. It's two things, first, when I open Firefox my homepage loads, but the address bar is blank. And if I type something in like "google.com" it loads Google, but it doesn't automatically change the address to "http://www.google.com" like usual, it just keeps "google.com". Also when I have other tabs open and try to close the first one, it doesn't close.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
>In Firefox 4 Safe mode also disables plugins (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) and hardware acceleration (Tools > Options > Advanced > General)

Tabs won't close,I can open a new one, mouse works on every thing else. ff 36.0 winXP

When I click on a tab to close it I can see the red X press down but it won't close. I can open a new tab and I can click from tab to tab and the windows change. My mouse is working on every thing else, just can't close any tabs. There are six tabs open. This has been an ongoing.problem that seems to be getting more frequent. I usually do a restart and the problem goes away, but only for a short time. I don't
know where to start to fix it. I did notice the automatic updates in windows is turned off. Could that be part of the problem? Should it be turned on? I'm using Windows XP Professional version 5.1.2600 service pack 3. Firefox version 36, just refreshed. Any suggestions?

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
