Remove a "window" on the navigation tool bar

A "window" to the right of the home button has appeared. It goes away with the Navigation tool bar when it is unchecked. The "window" is grayed out, causes the screen to "jump" when the cursor is moved over it. It has a forward, back, reload, home, and other appearing icons. How do I remove or disable this?

Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

How do I customize the "Navigation Tool Bar" by adding the print ICON so that the ICON will remain when I close the browser?

I have tried SEVERAL times to customize the "Navigation Tool Bar" by adding the print ICON. Every time I do this it works until I close the browser then I have to re-add the ICON the next time I open the browser. How do I make the ICON stay from session to session?

The bookmarks button is missing from the navigation tool bar. When I right click and select customize it appears and when I click done on the customization box button, it disappears.

The bookmarks button is missing from the navigation toolbar. It appears when I right click on the navigation and click customize. As soon as I close the customization window it disappears again. I can no longer access the library to back up my bookmarks. Why did you change it from Firefox 3 where you could clock on the bookmarks tab and be able to backup your bookmarks?

Actually the Bookmarks Menu button doesn't appear because you have the Menu Bar visible in your first screenshot. The Bookmarks Menu button should appear to the right of the overflow chevron on the Bookmarks Toolbar if the Menu Bar is hidden.

I accidentally managed to delete the "New Tab" from the Navigation tool bar and I can't get it back. Can you help?

I wanted to rearrange to Navigation toolbar and accidentally deleted the "Add new tab" from it. I now have the "Stop loading this page", "Reload current page" and "Home" buttons, but the new tab button is gone! I checked the "Customize" panel, but it's vanished from there too. All that's there is a "Open in a new window" tool. I'm aware that i can open a new tab just by clicking the plus next to the open tabs or Ctrl+T, but I'm used to doing it with the actual button, so I'd be grateful if you could help me.
Thanks :)

You can find the New Tab button showing as a '+' on the Tab bar. 
You can open the Customize window and drag the New Tab button that shows as a plus sign (+) from the Tab bar on another toolbar and it will become a regular toolbar button like the New Tab button that you have in Firefox 3 versions. 
If you can't find the New Tab button then click the "Restore Default Set" button in the Customize window. 
If you want the New Tab button at the far right end of the Tab bar then place a flexible space to the left of it.

I updated firefox to 4.0 and then to 5.0 and it doesn't look like it is supposed to, I still have the navigation tool bar at the top of my page and the drop down boxes too (file, edit, view etc). Why is this an how can I get the proper new versions?

When I updated firefox to 4.0 the only things that really changed were a couple of buttons and the position of the tabs, the blue navigation bar and the drop down menus for file etc didn't change at all.
My computer also freezes when visiting certain websites with firefox, not Every time I visit but frequently. The websites are usually commonly visited websites (Gmail, stuff.co.nz) and don't do it when I am using internet explorer or another computer. This started when I downloaded the upgrade.
I use a net-book with Windows XP.

To get the new style UI you need to hide the menu bar. To do that in the View menu select Toolbars, then click on the "Menu Bar" entry.
If you need access to the menus you can press either Alt or F10 to temporarily display them.

Why can't I go back or forward using the arrows on the navigation tool bar? I can only right-click and select from history items.

This is under a new install of Win7 Ultimate. The arrows are permanently greyed out, no matter what I do, there is no backward or forward navigation.

I found it by disabling addons one at a time - an add-on called Favicon Picker 2 0.6.1.14 was causing the problem.

I ugraded to firefox 5 - and I deleted a few programs - I must have deleted the navagation tool bar. It shows up blank i.e. no place to type in a web address.

i was deleting a few programs in an effort to delete something that was attached to firefox - and extension.
I must have deleted the part of the navigation tool bar that show a blank space for one to type in a web address or copy and paste a web address.
When I right click at the top of the page I get the navagation tool bar - a space comes and goes with the clicking unclickin of that tool bar.
I have looked all over for that but can't find it.
any help would be appreciated

oops!
first, open up what you have left of the toolbar.
now, right click on it and choose 'customize'. You should see something called 'location' in the box that comes up. Click on it and drag it to where you want it on that tool bar. You can also click and drag around other items on that toolbar to replace them, or move them as needed. :)

'''Can't see the Menu Bar''' (File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help)?
Turning the Menu Bar on and off is a new feature in version 3.6.
''(Linux & OSX see: [[Menu bar is missing]] )''
''Windows'' Method 1. '''''Hold down''''' the key and press the following letters in this exact order: V T M
''Windows'' Method 2. Press and release the key. The Menu Bar will be displayed; then choose ~~red:V~~iew > ~~red:T~~oolbars and click on ~~red:M~~enu Bar.
The Menu Bar should now be displayed permanently, unless you turn it off again using View > Toolbars. Check mark = displayed, NO check mark = not displayed.

Fire fox shows a window which indicates that the yahoo tool bar does not have a security cert. Then runs using 99% processor

a window pops up when i open Firefox which indicates that the Yahoo tool bar does not have a security cert. Seems to lock up when going to Comcast.net. Uses 99% processor and won't close.

Ok. I disabled hardware acceleration. The only extension is the McAfee Scriptscan for Firefox 15.1.0, which was already disabled. I then disabled all plugins (Acrobat, Google Update, Intel Identity Protection (2x), Java Deployment Toolkit, Java Platform, MS Office 2013, Quicktime, Shockwave, Silverlight), which were all up to date.
Normal or safe mode still has same result. No startup, no option button and no customize.
Thanks for your help. Got any other suggestions?

Why can't the Menu Bar and the Navigation Tool, share the same line?

With the Menu Bar and the Navigation Tool, now on separate lines, there's all this wasted space right above the address bar. What mental giant thought this up?

You can move the items on the Navigation Toolbar to the Menu bar if you want to have them on that bar.

Note that you are not able to click items on the menu bar if you hide the menu bar to get the Firefox menu button and use Alt or F10 to display the Menu bar (it is a bug).

I accidently personalized the banner (tool bar) and wish to remove it , the image of a Japanese style wave makes it hard to read the bookmarked sites.

Sounds that you installed a Persona.
You can uninstall your current Persona and revert to the Default theme (Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

I put firefox 4 on my computer but had to remove it since it did not allow the Norton tool bar which identifies safe and dangerous sites. will that featurre be available

The norton tool bar feature which identifies problem sites
(safe web) is a good tool and has saved us from many problems.
From past experience I feel it is something I must have.
I loaded firefox 4 and while I like the program I removed it
because of the lack of that feature but would like to use FF4.

That's not good enough, Tony! Firefox should have let me know before I downloaded the firefox 4. Now I can't go back to the 3.6 or what ever it was. I have gone back to IE until FIREFOX resolves the issues of compatibilty with Norton. I love my norton and will not go without it for even one day!
Adios!

How can I edit / delete items in the "Ask" tool bar? (e.g. I want to get rid of Facebook and You Tube)

I would like to control what items appear on the Ask tool bar and in what order they are displayed. In particular, I would like to get rid of the Facebook, YouTube, CNN, and Fun Games buttons which I see on this tool bar.

Please do the following. 
#In the location bar where you normally type in a web address, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter. 
#If you see a window which says "This might void your warranty!", click the button which says "I'll be careful, I promise" so you can continue with the next step. 
#In the filter at the top, type: '''keyword.URL''' 
#Double click it and remove whatever's in there and replace it with http://www.google.com/search?q= and then click OK. 
#Close the tab
The URL to add in "keyword.URL" becomes a link in this post, so right click it and choose "Copy Link Location" to copy it to the Windows clipboard. Then hit CTRL+V to paste it. Saves you having to type the whole thing.
'''To reset your home page, do the following'''. 
* Go to the site you want to set as your homepage. 
* Click the Firefox button, go to '''Options '''| '''Options '''| '''General'''. 
* Make sure it says "''Show My Homepage''" in the first dropdown menu. 
* Click the button called "'''Use Current Pages'''" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen. 
If this suggestion resolves the problem for you, 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 problem.
Thanks.

The home tool bar isn't showing up at the top of my page. How do I get it back

How do I make my home tool bar show up? the bar with the picture of the house and the back and forward button isn't displaying.

* If on Windows in Firefox 3.6 the menu bar is hidden then press and hold the Alt key down, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear.
* Go to "View > Toolbars" and put a check-mark for "Menu Bar" to make that permanent. See [[Menu bar is missing]]).
* Make sure that you have the ''Navigation Toolbar'' and other toolbars visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then see if you can find them in the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window.
* If you see the item in the Customize window then drag it back from the Customize window to the Navigation toolbar.
* If you do not see that item then click the "Restore Default Set" button in the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window.

You installed the Conduit spyware. To remove it, triple-click the following line of text to select it:
~/Library/Application Support/Conduit
Copy (command-C) the text to the Clipboard. Then select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the Finder menu bar and paste (command-V) into the box that opens. A Finder window may open with a folder named "Conduit" selected. If so, delete the selected folder.
Select Go to Folder again and enter:
/Library
From the folder that opens, delete the following items, if they exist. You may be prompted for your login password.
Application Support/Conduit
InputManagers/CTLoader
LaunchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
ScriptingAdditions/ct_scripting.osax
Close the folder. Now select Go to Folder one more time and enter:

Delete that item. Close the Finder windows you opened. Log out and log back in.
