Problem customizing the toolbars

I just upgraded to Firefox 4 Beta. I'm trying to customize my toolbars, to make it look the same way I had it on the previous version of Firefox. All I'm trying to do is to put all the items in 2 toolbars: one on the top is the menu bar, the one on the bottom has the Navigation Icons, the Tabs and the Bookmarks Toolbar Items.
I'm not able to do that.
If I move the Bookmarks Toolbar Items on the same "line" of the Tabs (on the right side of the tabs), I lose the small tab with the "+" sign (the one to open a new tab). Also I can't align the Bookmarks Toolbar Items on the right side of the screen.
If I try to disable the menu bar, Firefox crashes.
If I move the navigation icons on the left side of the Tabs (same "line"), the navigation icons become small (even if the "use small icons" option is not checked) and faded, almost impossible to see.

In your formsweb.cfg file, set separateFrame=true.
Also, if you search the forum using "separateFrame", you will find a lot of discussion and tips about this topic.

Problems customizing the user template

Hi,
I'm trying to customize the user template on 2 laptops. I've done this before with no problems, but this time it doesn't appear to be working correctly. I'm using the following command
cp -R /Users/TEMPLATE/* /System/Library/User\ Template/English.lproj
where TEMPLATE is the name of the user account I want to use as my custom template.
When I enter this command I receive the following:
usage: cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-fi | -n] [-pvX] source_file target_file
cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-fi | -n] [-pvX] source_file ... target_directory
Can anyone help me?
I'm using Leopard and am logged in as root.

I thought a typo may have been possible too. So I even copied and pasted the command string from the website which gave the directions for customizing the user template and it still wouldn't work. I ended up finding a post somewhere where someone else had problems with this and they simply suggested logging in as root and manually copying the files to the User Template folder which worked for me. Still like to know why it didn't work through the Terminal. Strange. Anyway, I have a workaround if I run into it again. Thanks for your help and the advice about the keychain!

Customizing the toolbar

Is there a way to add an icon from the services menu to a toolbar or create a new one?
I would like to add a thesaurus from another app in services.

Hi
May be a corrupted preference file. Via the Finder: move the com.apple.safari.plist file to the desktop and restart Safari. You can find this file in your User Account>Library>Preferences folder. Restart Safari.
This resets Safari preferences to default values. You'll need to reset any custom preferences settings, as well as any special settings in the Edit (spelling) or View menu (custom icons, status bar, etc.)
Also, reset the toolbar to your liking. Quit/restart Safari.

All of a sudden an additional "Search Web" box has appeared on my firefox below the bookmarks toolbar and above the tabs bar. I am not able to remove it through customizing the toolbars like you do with all other icons, etc. Could somebody help me?

This new "Search Web" box/bar has a magnifying glass on the left side and on the right, just outside of the box, there is "-or-". I am unable to remove it or even just move it around the toolbars, and it is unresponsive to any left or right clicks. When it first appeared, it showed up with shortcut icons for Facebook and Twitter. It would be really appreciated if someone could help me with permanently removing the above. I had already tried deleting Firefox from my Mac OS but when I re-install a new one, all plug-ins, bookmarks, etc. are retained. Alternatively could someone advise me how to do a clean uninstall of Firefox?

Customizing the toolbar doesn't work

I have used "View>Toolbars>Customize" to put a "New Tab" icon on the navigation toolbar. This has worked for weeks and weeks, putting on a new tab when I have clicked on it. Suddenly, for no apparent reason, it no longer works and neither does the '+' at the right of a tab.
Could someone tell me how to get the "New Tab" feature working again, please

Go to the Customize menu you mentioned already again and then in the panel which opens, click the button called '''Restore Default Set'''. Then click "'''Done'''".
You should be able to drag the '''+''' sign back to the toolbar to create a button when you open the Customize menu again afterwards.
If this answers your question, please click the '''Solved it''' button next to this post after you log in into the forum. This will help others searching for a solution to the same subject.
Thanks.

PixelsPerPx does not play nice with customizing the Toolbar.

I have a MacBook Pro and the screen has a very high number of pixels per cm^2. The screen is great, but the high pixel density often makes website text very small and hard to read.
So, I used about:config to edit <layout.css.devPixelsPerPx>. Setting it to 1.1 or 1.2 "dumbs down" the resolution, but it makes things readable again. This is a great option - please consider adding it to Preferences or otherwise making it easy to use.
Here is the problem: when I try to customize my toolbar (View > Toolbars > Customize), Firefox crashes.
If I reset <layout.css.devPixelsPerPx> to 1.0, then I can customize my toolbar with no crashing. Apparently the PixelsPerPx option seriously conflicts with View > Toolbars > Customize.

ok, so YOU have to avoid any 'eye candy' that is beyond the abilities of THEIR systems/browsers..
aside 'hard encoding' (=writing pure html manually.. pffffffff ) I would suggest the usual Rapidweaver.. it is CSS-based (=good looking) , but most templates (which you can modify for your needs & design) avoid Java, Flash etc. .. http://realmacsoftware.com/
I'm actually stumbling into the same discussion with my 'clients' = other parents from my son's soccer team, I switched from Rapidweaver Design to iWeb + fancy flash animation/navigation (old/RW vs. new/iWeb+BannerZest) .. some friends with older Windows system get an alert 'new flash required' for the navigation bar on the sub-pages...
not my problem, me web master..

Adding a button to the toolbar

I am having some trouble with a custom toolbar button. I add the button in a Reader plug-in with no problems:
> //Create a AVIcon object
> AVIcon myIcon = (AVCursor)LoadBitmap(gHINSTANCE, MAKEINTRESOURCE(Save_BMP));
> //Create a new button
> AVToolButton MyButton = AVToolButtonNew (ASAtomFromString("Test"), myIcon, FALSE, FALSE);
AVToolButtonSetHelpText(MyButton, "Test tooltip");
> //Retrieve the File toolbar
> const char * toolbarName= "File";
> AVToolBar ToolBar = AVAppGetToolBarByName(toolbarName);
> //Attach the button
> AVToolBarAddButton(ToolBar, MyButton, FALSE, NULL);
However, if a user has customized the toolbar eg. with e-mail and search buttons, my custom button only shows up in the first instance of Reader. If the user opens a second PDF document, the button is not visible in the new Reader window.
I have tried removing the button and adding it again, but this results in two buttons in the first instance and a single button in the second instance.
Should I add the button in another way to solve this? Using a javascript file perhaps? I have experimented with a trusted function in a .js file, but I could not figure it out - nor find a fitting example.

Hi,
1. create GUI status with "Status" name and "Short text"
2. Now a screen will appear with the following,
   a. Menu Bar
   b. Application tool bar
   c. Function keys
3. Click the down arrow near the application toolbar
4. Enter the function code like SAVE, EXIT, etc., You
   can also give ur own meaningful naming convention .
   For example ( ZTEST)
5. Now press enter, it will ask for "Static text" or "Dynamic Text". Choose Static text and press enter
6. Now it will ask for function text and Icon name. Specify some function text ( what it does ) and Icon name u want to attach.
7. Press enter. It will ask for function keys. Specify a function key and press enter.
8. Now u can handle this function code (ZTEST) either in PBO/PAI like IF FUNCTION = ZTEST ...ENDIF
Note:
Don't forget to set the GUI status u have created in PBO event.
Example code to set PF status.
PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.
MODULE liste_initialisieren.
MODULE setstatus_0100.
   LOOP AT extract WITH CONTROL
   tctrl_ztufi_league CURSOR nextline.
    MODULE liste_show_liste.
ENDLOOP.
In the above MODULE setstatus_0100 do the following,
SET PF-STATUS 'ZGUI'. ( The GUI status u have created).
I hope this helps you.
Regs,

Create a sequence of actions in the toolbar button in Visual Composer

Hi!
I've a problem with the toolbar buttons in visual composer. On a table, I would like to have one button which launch 2 actions. For example, I want to call an event (custom action) and after that I want to select a row in another table (system action, select).
It works fine when I create 2 buttons with the toolbar buttons but my wish is to have only one button with several actions (like a sequence of actions). Is it possible?
Thanks for any help!

Hi Ronan,
I think you can achieve your requirement by creating the Wizard in SAP Visual Composer.

I can't identify a button on the toolbar.

The button looks like a circle. In the center of the circle is a double arrow pointing to the right. The circle is made up of 4 segments 2 black and 2 red. The button is located on the far right side of the toolbar - to the right of the search box. Unlike all the other buttons in the toolbar, a tooltip do not appear when I point to to the button. When customizing the toolbar, I can't move or remove the button. Nothing appears to happen when I click it - except that the button's image changes. When clicked, it looks like an "x" has been superimposed over the button and the colors in the button change to black & white.

Looks like you enable or disable a specific setting with that button.
Which extensions do you have installed?
Can you post a list?

When I try to use the customize feature for toolbars, the toolbars themselves disappear as soon as I click "customize." Ideas?

When I try to use the customize feature for toolbars, the toolbars themselves disappear as soon as I click "customize." This happens whether I choose "customize" from the drop-down menu, or use the "control-click" option. I don't remember having this problem before, since I've customized the toolbar previously, although not for a while.

Why are unwanted icons appearing on the toolbar

When opening a finder window there are now several unwanted icons on the toolbar, 2 are for games and one for a certain website. Don't know how they got there and customizing the toolbar does nothing to remove them or show how they got there either.j
Any ideas? Thanks.

They were probably dragged and inadvertenly dropped on the Finder toolbar. Command-drag them off and poof them.

I just loaded Firefox 4 and can't seem to get the reload page icon on the toolbar

On the toolbar in earlier versions of Firefox, there were two icons, one an X to stop loading the page and the other a circle to reload a page. Neither appears to be available whne I go to toolbars/customize

In Firefox 4 by default the Stop, Go and Reload buttons are combined and attached to the right hand edge of the location bar.
When you are typing in the location bar it will show the Go button. When a site is loading it shows the Stop button. At other times it shows the Reload button.
If you want separate buttons, right-click on a toolbar and choose Customize, you can then drag and drop the stop or reload buttons and place them elsewhere. If you place them in the order "Reload-Stop" on the right hand edge of the location bar they will be combined again. For more details on customizing the toolbar see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar

In Firefox v4.0.1, custom toolbars disappear from the toolbar menu when I open a "New Window".

1.
I created a new toolbar in Customize... / Add New Toolbar. It's on the list of toolbars and opens up '''most times''' I start Firefox, but not ''always''. I have tested it and it is completely random.
2.
Same type of problem as 1., but '''''everytime''''' I use the 'New Window' feature the custom toolbar disappears from the toolbar menu and if I need to use it, I have to '''save all tabs as bookmark''' then close and reopen FireFox so I get my original window [where the toolbar shows up]. AARRRGHH.
I've been using FF for 7 years now, so I know enough to rule out corrupted localstore.rdf, new or updated add-ons (I could be wrong though, as I often am...).
Has this come up with other users? Am I being cursed? [lol] any help would be appreciated.

cor-el,
Sorry it took so long to get back to you.
You know, you're right. I should try everything, no matter how smart I think I am!
It's been 3 days since I deleted the localstore.rdf file and so far so good.
Thanxs for the help

I have customized my Firefox toolbar. After closing the browser and then reopening it, the toolbar has returned to the way it was before I customized it. How do I get my customization of the toolbar to become permanent?

I have customized my Firefox toolbar several times. After closing the browser and then reopening it, the toolbar has returned to the way it was before I customized it each time. How do I get my customization of the toolbar to become permanent?
It has occurred with Firefox 4.0.1 and 5.0

see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf
Take a picture of your toolbars so you can easily reconstruct them from the default after solving the the problem.
If it happens to you it will probably happen again in the future so you might want to keep some copies of your modified localstore.rdf file so you can delete the bad one and rename one of the replacements in waiting. Saving, copying and renaming must be done with Firefox down, of course.

Firefox crashes every time I open it, within seconds, so I can't fix anything in the toolbars (if that's where the problem is).

Every time I open Firefox, even in Safe Mode, it crashes within 5 seconds. It's not enough time to make changes in the toolbars at top. The page says "Well, this is embarrassing..." and when it crashes it takes me to Mozilla Crash Reporter. I opened Fontbook, eliminated bad fonts, and that didn't help. I'm working on a Mac OS X 10.8.4 and Chrome works fine. There don't appear to be any malware problems. I've looked through all the help forums and none of them have contained suggestions that solve my problem.

Hello SEHW, we're sorry to hear that Firefox is crashing when you open it. Please do the following to give us crash IDs that will help us understand more about the crash.
#Click the '''Finder''' icon in the dock. On the menu bar, click the '''Go''' menu, hold down the '''option''' or '''alt''' key and select '''Library'''. A window will open containing your Library folder. Then open the "Application Support" folder, the "Firefox" folder, the "Crash Reports" folder and finally the "submitted" folder.
#Open the 5 most recent files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
#Paste each ID with '''bp-''' into the reply window on the forums.
Thanks in advance!
