Standard Navigation Toolbar Items Missing

Just changed my Windows XP PC on which I have been running Firefox for years, for a new PC with Windows 7 Pro.
Installed Firefox on the new PCbut the Navigation Tool Bar looks different (dull grey instead of light) & 'Reload, Stop Reload etc. items are missing.
Tried everthing from the 'Help' menu but can't cure it

'''''"Navigation Tool Bar looks different (dull grey instead of light)"'''''
*Do you have a Persona or a Theme installed? Change to the the "Default" theme; see --> https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Using%20themes%20with%20Firefox#w_managing-themes-and-personas
*If you are referring to the default button colors, they are now gray/charcoal and light gray at times, like when there are no pages to go back/forward to in a new tab. You can add some color to some of the buttons with an Add-on '''''and''''' you can also make Firefox 4 and newer versions look more like Firefox 3.6

***Add color home, back/forward and other buttons (like Firefox 3) to the Navigation Toolbar in place of the gray buttons in Firefox 4

'''''"Reload, Stop Reload etc. items are missing"''''' 
Starting in Firefox 4, the Go, Stop and Reload buttons are combined in one button at the right end of the URL or Address bar. The button changes depending on the activity:
*green Go arrow when typing in the address bar
*red Stop ("X") button while page is loading
*gray Reload (circular arrow) when page is finished loading.
Separate buttons are possible:
#Open Customize Toolbar window by clicking Firefox button > Option > Toolbar Layout '''''OR''''' clicking View > Toolbars > Customize if using the Menu Bar '''OR''' right-click in an empty space on a toolbar and choose Customize
#Stop and Reload buttons will show separated between the address bar and the search bar
#drag the buttons anywhere on the Navigation toolbar
#*order Reload-Stop will combine into one button
#*order Stop-Reload will remain separate buttons
#*or drag a "Separator" from the Customize window between Reload-Stop and they will remain separate
#click Done at bottom right of Customize window to finish

With ver 7, my Navigation toolbar is missing. Nothing I've tried brings it back.

Navigation toobar is checked. Default checked. Navigation toolbar remains missing. Where the devil is it?

Is the Navigation Toolbar displaying? 
Are the other items showing on the Navigation Toolbar (i.e., Back/Forward, Home, Search Bar, etc.)?
Have you tried to locate it in the Customize window and drag it back to the Navigation Toolbar?

Make sure that the Location Bar is not set to "Nothing":

Navigation and bookmark toolbars are missing

The navigation and bookmark toolbars are missing. They are checked in toolbars menu, when I try to customize a toolbar and drag a item onto the toolbar, it disappears. I clicked on reset the default configuration, nothing has changed. I tried starting safe mode and resetting the toolbars, didn't help. I tried re-installing firefox, didn't help. Any ideas?

Did you find the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] ?
Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory > Open Containing folder
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

BUG: Toggling interface on/off causes missing menu toolbar items and icons in Photoshop CS4!

When I toggle the interface on/off it causes missing menu toolbar items and icons until I exit and restart Photoshop CS4. I know this can happen if problem filters are installed. So I have the latest Alien Skin filters installed and have already followed their AutoLayer2.8li file updates to resolve Windows Photoshop CS4 issues. I also have Luxology imageSynth 2.0 filter installed. So since all my filters are updated to CS4 compatible versions, I shouldn't have this problem but yet it occurs. Any way to fix this?
I'm using WinXP SP2, 4 GB RAM, GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 with newest 185.85 driver. I have 3D canvas rotation turned on.

What do you mean by this? Are you using standard methods (i.e. the buttons on the top-right of the screen) in Windows Explorer to minimize and then restore? or what?
Are you on XP 64-bit? or 32-bit?
Did you install driver version 185.85 before or after the problem started?
Do you just one GTX 260, or are you doing SLI at all?
Do you have more one monitor? If so, and you limit yourself to just one, do you still have the problem?
Also, just to make sure that this problem wasn't somehow caused by your plug-ins (because I have seen onOne plug-ins, at least, that install several DLL files and you can't disable DLLs by renaming with ~ like with plug-in files), or caused by a messed up install of PS, go ahead and repair the PS install. Follow the "Restore the default set of Photoshop CS4 plug-ins" section in this document, except that after Step 3 (or Step 5, if you're on 64-bit Windows) get rid of the entire "Adobe Photoshop CS4" folder from Program Files (and the one in Program Files (x86) if you're on 64-bit Windows):

Missing Main/Navigator Toolbar JDEV 904

I would like to know how to reset the look and feel of the Main/Navigator toolbars within JDEV 904. When I select View -> Toolbars - the toolbar is displayed, but only as a bar of one pixel height :(
I have tried to resize/drag n drop/open/close/minimise/maximise this "single pixel bar" - but with no success.
Can someone provide me some pointers on resetting the JDEV gui environment please.
thanks
Miles.

Hi Miles,
This is a known issue with JDeveloper 9.0.5 or earlier when you've terminated JDeveloper forcibly (e.g. killed the process by ctrl-c, task manager or a forced shutdown in Windows) while it's exiting. The cause of the problem is that the ide.properties file in your system directory has been corrupted.
To resolve it, copy ${jdev.home}/jdev/multi/system/ide.properties to ${jdev.home}/jdev/system9.0.4.x.x/
This issue is resolved in 10.1.3 (toolbar items are defined in extension manifests, which not written during termination of the ide).
Thanks,
Brian

The search function is missing from my navigation toolbar

I have the navigation toolbar checked under the View menu. It shows the regular stuff but to the right of the URL site name it shows a Wikipedia search function. I don't know where that came from but I want my general search function back.

There are two ways I'm aware of where toolbar icons disappear.
One is where you make the window narrower (icons drop off as the window gets too narrow to display them).
If that's not it then it sounds like the toolbar has been customized to remove it. In that case just use View -> Customize Toolbar... and drag whatever icons you like back into the toolbar (or drag off icons you no longer want).

My toolbar is missing and there is a button where it used to be that says "Please re-install the Toolbar" but when I click on it nothing happens? Also when I start Firefox I get a script running error how do I solve these issues?

My toolbar is missing and there is a button at the top left that asks me to "Please re-install the Toolbar" but when I click on it nothing happens???
Then when I start Mozilla I get a long delay before it launches and a script running error "A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.
Script: chrome://tavgp/content/libs/include.js:595"
How do I solve these issues???

No idea - and you provide no clues
what version of iPHoto do you have? Of the OS? is the iPhoto icon you are speaking of in the Dock?
re-read your post and try to provide information using standard Mac terms since we can not see you or your computer and only have your worrds to let us try to help you
Somehow my "IPhoto" icon now says "Preview". When I click on "Preview" nothing opens up except the bar says Preview. When I click on the Preview on the bar, a box opens up with different items, except when I click on any of them, there is nothing there. The only thing that work is the "quit preview". However, it is still there where my IPhoto icon should be. I can't get into my IPhoto. How do I get rid of this "Preview" and how did it end up taking over the IPhoto icon???
If you go to your Applications folder and double click on iPhoto what happen?

My navigation toolbar rejects my customising

Every time I open Firefox, the navigation toolbar has returned to its default layout and I must customise it again to get it how I want it.
None of the toolbars are missing. Only the layout of the navigation toolbar layour is affected.

Navigation toolbar cannot accept flexible space

I customize the navigation toolbar to include a flexible space at the end of the URL field. The purpose is to ensude that all the standard buttons are avaialble to the right of that field. I hit DONE and there is no change to the toolbar other then the 'X" ( stop this site) is missing and not accessible. The "x" become accessible only if I move it to the left of the URL. I can only get 4 radio buttons to the right of the URL??

Have given up and returned to FF 3.6.16. Like the FF4 concept but not ready for launch.

Since I took your update my address bar and toolbar are missing on my aol homepage

when I sign onto my mac book pro os x, aol home page comes up but the address bar and my customized toolbar are missing

The toolbars on my firefox are gone. I can't do anything with it and have to use Internet explorer for now.
I unintstalled and reinstalled but that didn't work. I have a screenshot, how do post it?

Bookmark Toolbar entries not showing up in blank space allocated for them under Navigation Toolbar.

Using Firefox 3.6.13 and 4.0b8. Both are not showing up my Bookmark Toolbar entries. The item does exist. I've used Firefox for years and that toolbar has always showed up. Confirmed that it still exists and was not inadvertently trashed by viewing item and listing when opting to Manage Bookmarks. The item is checked off for display in the menu drop-down (View-Toolbars-Bookmark Toolbar), the space where it would normally display my entries shows up directly under the Navigation Toolbar, but it is blank with no entries displayed.

In the View menu select Toolbars, and then Customize to open the customize toolbar dialog. With the customize toolbar dialog displayed, there should be an icon with the label "Bookmarks Toolbar Items" on the bookmarks toolbar. If it is not there, drag and drop the icon called Bookmarks from the customize toolbar dialog onto the bookmarks toolbar. There will be 2 icons called Bookmarks, the one you want will have an icon that looks like a sheet of paper (it does on Windows, I believe it is the same on the Mac).
