Strange square box on right side of bookmarks bar

Dear Mozilla Support
The other day a strange long square box appeared on the right side of my bookmarks bar.
The bookmarks bar I refer to starts on the left with the words "most Visited" "Start" etc, etc, with all my bookmark links icons displayed going from left to the right... but ... strangely, one day when I started my computer a strange "long square frame" appeared to the right of my bookmarks bar ,
and then pushed all of my bookmarks over to the left (eliminating most ) and now I have just a few bookmarks on that bar with a double arrow " >> " like this . I have to click on the "double arrow" to see the remainder of my bookmarks. I do not wish to have it this way, I would like this "long square frame" removed , so I will finally have "room" for my bookmarks again. By the way, this frame is "Not clickable" nothing happens when you click it, and it is "NOT A SEARCH BOX" it is just a long square frame taking up space on my bookmarks bar. Can someone help. Thankyou in advance ! Rick

There have been reports that this is caused by the Zoom Page 9.0 extension.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''

'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

How to change IM text box from right side to botto...

During a video call with most of my contacts, the IM text box is below the video box and at the bottom of the screen. However, when my son calls (on new Samsung S5) the IM text box is to the right of the video box and on the right side of my screen.
I prefer to have it at the bottom and would like to know how to change it.

I have seen both layouts posted here in screen shots. I think that this may be one of those things that changes magically according to window width. Try dragging the window to a wider or narrower aspect ratio.
This kind of thing should be an option, with an "auto" setting to preserve the current width-sensitive behavior for those who like it.

There's a strange plaque on the right side on my iPhone 4

Hi all,
After a few posts dedicated to ranting and raving about the new format of this site, which I still don't like, for the record, I've decided that enough is enough. No more pouting, let's get down to business, and why not start with an innocuous question such as this: I've noticed a small plaque on the right side of my iPhone (when you're facing the screen), right below the microSIM slot. At first, I thought it was just a sticker warning me that a prolonged use at high volume of the iPod component in my iPhone would probably result in me becoming deaf in no time (that's what the label on the plaque says), but I soon noticed there was a teeny-tiny indentation below said plaque, like, I don't know, a hole where you could stick a needle or the tip of a safety pin and remove the plaque.
So, what's behind it? A hidden slot for an SD card? A slot dedicated to an NFC chip that Apple says the iPhone will never get? Just empty space, we gotcha, ha ha?

No, THAT hole is quite visible. I mean there's a plaque BELOW the SIM tray, and I just had a look at the iFixit article where they took the iPhone 4 apart (poor thing!), and there's a 4-pin connector jutting out of the logic board a few millimeters behind that empty space that's hidden behind that plaque, but I can't for the life of me figure out what use it's meant for...
See here for more details: http://guide-images.ifixit.net/igi/sNkmwEEXdeupb2DU.medium
Maybe that plaque is just a warning-holding insert, because I don't see any gap in the stainless steel chassis, aside from the silicone seal where you should never press your finger lest you get reception issues... I'll try and take a picture of this plaque sometime tonight (my GF got a new 12MP camera for X-Mas -- guess who bought it?---) and somehow insert it in here. Hopefully...

Right side of menu bar hidden after 2nd monitor disconnect

Hello, When I disconnect my 30" external monitor from my MacBook Pro, the far right side of my menu bar disappears -- the part with the clock and battery information, bluetooth menu and various other little doodads. How do I get the menu back?
Also, is there anyway to keep this from happening?
When the monitor is attached, I have it set up so the menu bar goes on the monitor, as well as the Dock.
The Dock resizes perfectly when I disconnect the external monitor. It's just the menu bar that's screwy.
I'm running an up-to-date version of OS X 10.5.2.

This is how Apple's marketing materials describe the process of hooking up an external monitor to a MacBook Pro:
"Connect an Apple Cinema Display to expand your desktop and lose nothing in translation."
--http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/features.html
This is false advertising. You lose your clock, WiFi menu, Time Machine menu, Spotlight and more in the translation.
This is a very real bug.

Right Side of Menu Bar

When i restart I am unable to use the items on the right side of the menu bar-sound, spotlight etc.
I have a spinning ball which eventually goes away. Is there a way to fix this?

If you installed Mackeeper, it could have seriously corrupted stuff, and this tip explains how to remove it:

Right side of menu bar freezes after using AirPlay Mirroring

When I use Airplay Mirroring with my MacBook Pro to stream "web only" videos on Hulu (or to stream Amazon Prime videos) onto my Apple TV, afterwards the right side of my menu bar gets the rainbow spinny thing (the "spinning beach ball of death," as my sister calls it)
I can't click on anything, the time and battery status won't move, the only thing I can click on on the right side is the Notifications tab thing and also DropBox. The left side is working fine, I can click on everything and it responds.
My dad fixed it last time it did this, I think he repaired the permissions or something (not sure though, I wasn't there when he did it.) So I know I can fix it, but I was just wondering if anyone else was having this problem/if it's an issue with the software or just my computer. If it's just my computer, I'll tell Apple and ask them to fix it.
Thanks

Create a new user and see if it happens within that user. If it does, reinstall the operating system. This is also known as an Archive and Install. Be sure to back up your data first. If it doesn't, drag the com.apple.finder.plist file to the desktop from the folder [home folder]/Library/Preferences and restart and see if the problem persists. If it goes away, the issue was a corruption in that file. Let me know if you have any questions.

Right side of Menu Bar disappears Coming out of a Sleep

Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
Whenever my computer comes out of a sleep, the right side of the menu bar (clock, spotlight, airport, etc.) completely disappears.
I know exactly what's causing it: A week ago I just started using my MacBook with the lid closed. It happens when I unhook the MacBook from all the peripherals (display, power, keyboard) and then plug it back in to the peripherals. Now, if I open it after I unplug it from the peripherals, then plug it back in to them, the menubar will come back. It's only if it remains closed and I re-plug in the peripherals that this happens.
It's quite an annoying bug because the only way I've found to resolve it is to restart.

I found a workaround. Switch the display to a resolution smaller than the previous screen then switch it back.
Example, I have a 15.4 mbp and the resolution is 1400x900 (i think). When I hook up to my dell monitor 1680x1050 my menu bar disappeared. So I switched it to 1360x768 and all my items were back. When I switched it to 1680x1050 right after, the items remained.
The aspect ratios of the two screens are the same. I have a 1280x1024 which this has happened on - I still have to see if it works on that.
Just glad I don't have to reboot to fix this one.

All bookmarks used to appear in a dropdown on the right side of Bookmark Toolbar, now they do not

All my bookmarks used to appear in a drop down automatically from an icon at the right end of the Bookmark Toolbar. These were not just the additional toolbar bookmarks, but all the bookmarks as you'd get from going to Bookmarks in the menu bar. Now all I have is the star that opens all bookmarks on the left of the screen. How do I get back the more convenient auto drop down on the right?
Thanks

You only see the Bookmarks Menu button on the Bookmarks Toolbar if the menu bar is hidden.

When I open Firefox (after upgrade) it does not show right side vertical scroller bar. I have to take the mouse and physically expand the browser to get the scroller bar to show. (never had this problem in previoius versions of firefox)

Firefox 4.0 on Mac OS 10.6.7 When I open Firefox it does not show the right vertical scroller. I have to take my mouse to the lower right corner and drag it open slightly and the scoller appears It will stay active through other tabs now until I close or shut down firefox. Once I reopen the same thing again no vertical scroller bar.

Yes AT&T is my ISP. I use DSL. Currently I am not at my home address. I am currently on a cable modem on COX.com.
I am also receiving a warning message "WARNING: Parental control appears compromised!".

HT201956 Why does the right side of the menu bar disappear or blink when I turn on my epson XP200 printer?

Why does the right side the menu bar disappear or blink when I turn on my epson XP 200 printer?

I have also been experiencing the same problems. Mac user since 1991. I own various machines but this particular problem lies with a MacBook Pro 2008 using 10.5.4
The laptop has two users. One is fine while one is not. A new user was created but upon logging in for the first time the right hand side of the menu bar blinked off and on just like the existing user. No hard drives have been connected. All files backed up via drag and drop wirelessly.
Since this development I have been unable to get to my iDisk; it might be related or coincidental. Last night I re-entered my .mac/MobileMe account details whereupon I was presented with a message saying the machine had not synced before. Not true. It had been syncing automatically since the day of purchase March 2008. I wonder if there is a connection between somewhere deep down in the Library, updated versions for 10.5.4 and MobileMe. Somewhere along the line a combination of events triggered the tool bar to start blinking...
It's strange how one user is fine (seldom used and DOES NOT have a MobileMe account) while the main one, me, is not fine (used heavily throughout the day and DOES have an active MobileMe account).
At this point, I don't intend to re-install and start all over again (I've done this so many times with other machines over the years that I was hoping those days had finally gone based upon Apple's brilliant recent advancements).
Any help or comments will be welcome.
Cheers!

How do I get back my bookmarks bar?

I made the mistake of right clicking the bookmarks bar at the top of the window and now I can't get it back.

View > Toolbars - Boomarks Toolbar

My tab strip is appearing as part of my bookmarks bar, why?

I prefer to have the navigation bar on top, the bookmark sbar below that and the tab strip below that.
The tab strip has now appeared to the right of the bookmarks bar and the more tabs that I open the number of bookmarks shown shrinks from the right to accommodate the extra tabs being opened.
Moving the tabs above the navigation bar takes the bookmarks with it like a pair of Siamese twins.
How do I get them to appear separately?

The restore default set worked! Than you very much.

How do I alphabatize all my bookmarks from the drop down menu with the star on the Right side of screen?

I want to alphabatize all my bookmarks that are in the drop down menu, the menu with the star icon, on the right side of the screen. I do not want to put them in folders or view them in the box from the menu bar and all the answers pertain to that box, and not to the one with the star. Thank you

I don't think it's possible from the toolbar button.
However, the action you take in the Bookmarks Sidebar or in the Library dialog will affect the Bookmarks Menu everywhere it is displayed, including the toolbar button, so you only need to use it for the few moments needed to use Sort By Name and then close it.
Bookmarks Sidebar (either):
* View menu > Sidebar > Bookmarks
* Command+b
Library dialog (either):
* Bookmarks menu > Show All Bookmarks
* Command+Shift+b
right-click "Bookmarks Menu" > Sort By Name
