Permamently display menu bar in Mac OS/Disable tabs

iMac i5, Mac OS 10.7.5, Thunderbird 24.x
The Menu Bar in T-bird 24.x is automatically hidden even though the T-bird Help says that it CAN'T be done. I prefer to have the Menu Bar PERMANENTLY visible, but I can't find a setting in Preferences to do this. Where is the setting that will make the Menu Bar permanently visible.
I DESPISE tabs in Thunderbird; where is the setting to DISABLE tabs? Again I can't find it in the Preferences.

Use what you like romad, but personally I have come to like the Australis theme in Thunderbird and I downloaded Firefox alpha when I heard that after a year or fussing and fiddling they have finally moved forward.
Seriously I have no idea what your talking about though. You carrying on like Thunderbird suddenly changed. Australis has been there since Version 17 tabs since Version 3
As far as your minority operating system is concerned. I have never used it and have no desire to try and decipher what apple did to a perfectly good copy of BSD. If the product changes so radically on point releases that information a couple of years old is worthless, I am sorry. I am used to point releases being minor changes and whole numbers containing the big stuff. However as Thunderbird does not have a feature of the kind you describe, but apple users have been complaining of similar for years in a number of different applications I suggest you ask apple how to fix OSX so it does not do it.

    Safari problem:  when I switch back into safari from another application, the menu bar comes up but no tabs or windows.  What's going on?  Just started yesterday.  I have found a workaround: when I Command Tab back to safari, I hit command T to open a new tab and Command W to close it, and my other tabs are visible.
    I have tried shutting down, closing tabs, with no success.  What's going on and how can I fix it?
    Thanks,

    PS:  I'm not sure of the actual OS level, but I have not allowed it to upgrade to Maverick yet; concerned about it because of a few things I've read...

    A Safari extension or third party plugin may be causing the menu bar issue.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
    If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
    Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect:  Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
    As for which OS X is installed.
    Click the Apple () menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac.
    The version is noted there.
    v10.6 Snow Leopard v10.7 Lion  v10.8 Mountain Lion
    It's your choice whether or not to upgrade to Mavericks. If you decide to do this, make sure your Mac meets the requirements noted here.

  • How to enlarge Menu Bar for Mac Mini running on Hi Res displays

    I'm running my Mac Mini on my Sony 32" hi def tv in 1080i mode. The picture is great, but the Menu Bar on the desktop of the Mac is so small its not readable. I"m able to increase the size of the desktop icons and their text, but can't change the size of the Menu Bar. Its okay in 780i, but I'd prefer to have it run in the higher resolution. Can this be done, and if so how?

    Changing the size of the menubar is not a feature of the OS.

  • Dreamweaver MX some versions of Safari displaying menu bar incorrectly

    I am updating my website, built with Dreamweaver MX, running on a Power Mac G5
    Using Dreamweaver MX on a power mac (non intel) running 10.4.11,  when I test the pages in safari and explorer (older versions for that particular OS) everyhing works fine. When I run the actual browsers for real, everything runs fine.  However, when I run OS 10.5.8 on the same mac, Safari ver 5.0.6, the menu bar on certain pages displays incorrectly. It used to be centered, but I moved it to align left. On the old versions, it works fine, on my Iphone's Safari browser, it works fine, but on the Safari 5.0.6, it is in the center still.
    I can't figure out why this is so. I've reset safari multiple times, trashed the safari plist preference file to no avail.
    Any ideas?

    I don't recommend using absolute positioning (aka Layers) for your menu.  Just move your menu table to the top of your content and remove that inline styled Layer div.

  • How to display menu bar in safari

    New to IOS.  Just bought an iPad.
    Trying to import bookmarks, but need to have a menu in Safari to do it (according to some instructions I'm using)
    Don't see a switch in Settings.

    Safari on the iPad does not have a Menu bar. What you see is what it has.
    Depending on where you are coming from though you may still have a couple different options.
    If you are coming from a Mac, you could ostensibly copy your bookmarks to the Safari browser on the Mac and have the bookmarks then sync through iCloud.
    If you are on a Windows computer your best bet is to import your bookmarks to Internet Explorer and use the iCloud Control Panel to sync them over to the iPad.
    iCloud Control Panel for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1455
    You could also download one of the 3rd party Firefox sync Apps onto the iPad. They will sync with your Firefox browser and bring the bookmarks onto the iPad. You can then use them to open your Bookmarks on any browser on your iPad including Safari. The downside is the Bookmarks won't be inside Safari, but instead will reside in the sync App and you can open Safari from there.
    For example:
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sync-for-firefox/id468995230?mt=8
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sync-with-firefox/id611663172?mt=8

  • Displaying menu bar using ADF - JSF

    scenario:
    there's a tabbed menu.each tabbed menu has its own menu bar
    objective:
    the menu bar displays the links according to the tab selected.
    how can i do it? is there any way dat i can play around with ADF binding feature? like is it possible to set the render of bar items such that it displays the bar links intelligently [depending on the tab selected]
    or last but not least.. shud i use javascript!
    any reference to such example available online will be appreciated.
    regards,
    Rabs

    hello,
    you might want to read section 11.2. "Using dynamic menus for navigation" It's in the ADF developers guide you can find at the start page of JDeveloper (the studio version anyway).

  • Remove cc icon from menu bar on mac

    I have dragged anything to do with creative cloud into the trash. The icon is still on my menu bar, how can I remove it?

    Hi Helpme2015,
    I believe you have only trashed Adobe products from Applications. There is a slightly different procedure to remove Adobe products from MAC but since you have trashed the Applications already, we would have to follow the lengthy way around to remove the Adobe products now. Please follow the below mentioned steps and suggest.
    1)      Delete all the Adobe folders available within /Library/Application Support/
    2)      Delete all the Adobe folders available within /Library/preferences
    3)      Delete all the Adobe folders available within ~/Library/Application Support/
    4)      Delete all the Adobe folders available within ~/Library/Preferences/
    5)      Delete files and programs from within Application & Utilities .
    Cheers,

    I have a stock market program and two of their forms have become stuck under the menu bar.  Closing the program doesnn't help because when it's restarted it returns to the exact same spot and I can't reach the close buttons.  I've tried changing the screen res put that doesn't help.   Any ideas?

  • Will Firefox post a download to correct thick multiple tab menu bar or provide a delete tab menu bar option?

    I wish to reduce the thickness of the tab menu bar in Firefox 4.0 or have the option to delete the bar. I've tried some of the blogs but nothing seems to work. Wondering if your support team could provide users with a download update providing these options?
    I'm using Windows 7 on a laptop.

    #Теперь, идите дальше и переустановите Firefox:
    ##Произведите двойной щелчок по загруженному файлу установки и следуйте пошаговым инструкциями мастера установки.
    ##После завершения работы мастера, выберите открытие Firefox напрямую после щелчка по кнопкё Готово.

  • Mirroring doesn't display in menu bar even with option checked

    I have my late 2011 MacBookPro hooked up to an external monitor to extend my workspace at the office.  I can go into Displays in the System Preferences and choose to mirror displays.  When I check the option to "Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available", no menu bar option shows up.  Worked perfectly fine pre-Mavericks.
    How can I get the display menu bar options to display on this laptop?
    Thanks

    Have a look in:

    for "Bluetooth.menu" and try double-clicking it.

  • No menu bar-based applications will re-open on restart, 10.8

    I got a Late 2012 iMac in December of 2012. I have had one persistent problem since then. When I restart the machine and the OS resumes where I left off by re-opening apps I had open as the machine restarted, everything will re-open except for any application that exists soley in the menu bar.  That's all I can narrow it down to. Applications that do not re-open 100% consistently are:
    - Air Video Server
    - Fantastical (Mac App Store)
    - Menu Bar Audio (Mac App Store)
    - Alfred
    And these ones vary:
    - Dropbox
    - Tweetbot
    It gets weirder.
    I have all of these items in my login items. Well, I have had them there. When I restart (either with a resume or when I disable that, booting from scratch), the items don't launch and they're removed from my login items list. I've seen this happen at least a half dozen times. I can re-add them and restart, they'll be gone again (this happens with about 50% of restarts).
    I've tried:
    - New user account
    - Complete disk wipe and OS reinstall (not restored, fresh install)
    - Booting from safe mode, removing login items, booting normally, re-adding, restarting again
    - Every version of 10.8 since I got the machine - 10.8.1, .2, .3
    I completely stumped Apple phone support for hours a couple months ago. I don't have the hours now to try that all over again, and my 3 month phone support limit is up .. so I'm trying the community. I'm completely stumped.
    Anybody experienced anything remotely similar?
