Tab bar is gone

I was working on a job and noticed that there was no tab bar
at the top of a selected paragraph. I assume I need to trash a
preference file and restart the program. Does anyone have any
suggestions?
thanks in advance.

I used to be able to open a new tab with the + next to open tabs on the tab bar. It won't work now. Fix?

hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...

Why is it that when I set the preference to always show the tab bar, it refuses to stay checked after I quit Firefox and restart it?

Using Mac OSX10.6.7 and FF 4.0.1, I'm having a problem with the preference to always show the tab bar. I want it to always show. I check this in the Preferences under the "tab" window, and everything is fine until I quit FF and when I restart FF the tab bar is gone again. I go into preferences, and that option is now unchecked. How can I fix this so that my preference is saved?

That hasn't helped the last ten times I tried. I posted before. I deleted the preferences file, I tried changing the preferences file, I went into about:config and changed the autoHide preference there. No dice. Firefox is not saving my preference for that one thing.

Hi, I just updated to ff6, when i open a new browser the tab bar is missing....however when i hit Ctrl+T i get the tab bar back with the original tab and the new tab. I have box checked in options "always show the tab bar". Any help greatly appreciated

Using Windows XP and Firefox 6....tab bar has gone missing but returns when i open a second tab. I used to be able to open a browser which opened my bookmarked homepage and I cold then click the + to the right of this tab and open a new tab.

hello, please install the search reset addon - it will revert the most common customizations those adware programs do in firefox back to the default: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/

Lost the Google link in my tab bar

I just recently noticed theat the Google link in my tab bar is gone. It was to the far right, where a semi-circle arrow now resides. I added it to my tool bar, but it was nice to be able to just click on it when I woke up my computer. Could have have unknowingly done something? I can't seem to find any help via the internet.

The one long field on Safari 6 actually does both, it is an address field and also a search field based on what you enter. So treat it just as you did the separate search field in older versions of Safari when you want to do a search.
It you open a new blank tab you should notice that it has a magnifying glass icon and says Search Google or enter an address. If you click on the magnifying glass you will get a dropdown menu that allows you to choose among Google, Big and Yahoo for your searches. It will also have a list of previous searches if you have made any.

I do not know if I hit a botton or what but the top of the tool bar where the bookmarks and tools tabs are is gone. How do I get it back?

If that is correct, updating your system software may help the Safari toolbar issue.
Click Software Update from your Apple menu OR open System Preferences > Software Update > Check Now
Restart your Mac after the updates are installed then try Safari.
If your software is actually up to date, from the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab.
If you have any extensions installed, turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If the address bar reappears, uninstall one extension at a time, quit and reluanch Safari to test until you find the one that's blocking the address bar.

There are tabs with bookmarks showing up in the tab bar that won't close. Why do they come up and why can't I close them?

I can't close the bookmark tabs that show up automatically at the tab bar. I don't want them to open or show up. When they show up I can't close them and everything in the tab bar gets frozen. So I'm just stuck. Firefox won't even quit when this happens. How can disable these bookmark tabs from showing up. They are a nuisance.
I also need instruction on eliminating bookmarks that came with Firefox. I deleted them, but they showed up again.

I cannot open a new tab. When I press the tab bar, sometimes it opens, but most of the times it won't. It is especially so when there are already 5 tabs opened

I have a problem opening a new tab with FireFox 24.0.
When I press the tab bar, sometimes it opens, but most of the times it won't. It is especially so when there are already 5 tabs opened.
I use "checkCompatibility 1.3" and "Google Toolbar for FireFox 7.1.20110512W" as addons. There have been no problems until the previous version of FireFox.

Thank you for the reply.
It works fine with the safe mode. So it must be something to do with checkCompatibility 1.3 or Google Toolbar for FireFox 7.1.20110512W.
Both are necessary to run Google Toolbar on Firefox, and the fact is Google Toolbar is too convenient to be removed. So I have bookmarked a couple of blank pages and I right-click them to open new tabs. But it is so tiresome.
I hope this problem will be fixed in the next version. FireFox without Google Toolbar is just a useless browser.

Firefox 35 won't hide address and tab bar in full screen on OS X 10.10

Hi, when I put firefox full screen, I expect the address bar and tab bar to auto-hide. From google searching it seems like this was expected behavior some time ago. A pic -> 1000 words.

I also tried disabling all add-ons and nothing changed.

<blockquote>
You would normally see the context menu with Hide Toolbars and Exit Full Screen mode if you right-click a toolbar in full screen mode.
Do you have any code in Stylish that could be causing issues like that?
</blockquote>
Nope, zero styles in Stylish currently, this is a new install. As well I've tried going full-screen with all addons disabled and I get the exact same result.
I'm on OS X 10.10.2, FF 35.0.1

I just upgraded and lost my bookmarks, tool bar and tabs at thre bottom. Even the green bar is gone

I don't know any more details. I just want my computer back to where it was before upgrading firefox

If you do not like the new appearance of Firefox 4 then you can change some setting to restore the Firefox 3 appearance.
You can right click the orange Firefox button to open the toolbar context menu or use (F10) View > Toolbars.
* Click the Menu Bar entry to make the Menu Bar visible all the time.
* Click "Tabs on Top" to remove the check mark and place the Tab Bar at its original position just above the browser window.

How do I restore the "close tab" button to the END of the tab bar, WITHOUT USING AN ADDON

Up until FF31, I used to have the following setting configured which moved the little 'X' button that closed tabs off of the tabs themselvs and onto the far right of the tab bar.
browser.tabs.closeButtons; User Set; Integer; 3
No, this no longer works. It has still moved the close buttons back to the tab buttons. Until I can figure out how to fix this, I will be moving back to a previous version. I can't for the life of me see why this feature was removed, other than Mozilla's seemingly arrogant insistence that it knows what people want better than they do.
I was since told by someone that I can use an addon to fix it, yet the problem is THEY DO NOT WORK. The addons that supposedly solve this all have intermittent failures where they don't load correctly, leave random dead tabs open, and in one case it even seemed to open new tabs when I tried to close one.
It's absolutely inexcusable that the dev team is so arrogant to take away a feature that has fundamentally no impact on the rest of the browser, other than, as I said before, they THINK they know what we want better than we do. It's no small wonder that FF is losing market share. The only thing keeping me on board was really this function, as I prefer this layout, and if it's gone, I see no reason to stick with FF over others.

unfortunately it is not possible to restore the close button to have only one (customizable) close button on the Tab bar without using an extension.
The extension is necessary because you need to create a new toolbar button and bind the proper code to it to make the button act as a tab close button (command: BrowserCloseTabOrWindow()).

How can i change the tab bar from opening a new tab when single clicked to open one only when double clicked?

Out of habbit, i double click the tab bar and it opens 1 tab. however in the new beta, it opens 2.
Is there anyway to change this so single clicks dont open new tabs on the tab bar?

I don't have multiple tab bars and haven't installed anything to try and get them.
I re-read what I wrote earlier and realised it's not worded clearly when I said: If I have more than a single tab bar of tabs open
I meant: When I have so many tabs open that they won't all fit into the tab bar at once

Is there a way to bring back the actual tab "bar"?

So in switching from FF3.6 to 5.0 I have noticed that the actual "bar" that holds the tabs is gone.
Observe:
[http://i.imgur.com/eU7lo.jpg http://i.imgur.com/eU7lo.jpg]
It's visually slightly annoying to not have a distinct separator between the tab area and the button toolbar, but that is something I can live with.
However I can NOT live with the extremely annoying functionality drawback that comes as a result of this. In 3.X and before you could right click anywhere in the tab bar and it would bring up the tab management menu. Now you can't bring up the menu from empty space because it treats that space as part of the rest of the UI and gives you a different menu, forcing you to mouse all the way over to a tab to accomplish the same end.
So my question is, does anyone know of a way, or an addon, that can bring back the actual tab bar? I find all of these UI changes to be nothing short of infuriating. I swear, Mozilla, Facebook, Pandora, Google, and Microsoft must all be in cahoots with each other because they're all introducing horrible UI designs at the same time.

Well I guess that's kind of cool that you can add buttons in the bar as well, but I honestly don't have a use for that and I think it would get in the way more often than not in most scenarios I can think of (there's a reason buttons were segregated from the tab bar and it wasn't tech limitations). The previous functionality is much more convienent and useful and, well, functional.
As for why FF5, well I've had the FF5 installation since before 6.0 was out, but the UI changes angered me so much that I abandoned it after about 20 minutes and went back to using my 3.6 installation; I've been letting the community stew and cook up solutions to the UI problems (status4evar for example) and like any good stew, giving it more time is better. Also a whole bunch of my addons (some of which are mission-critical to my browsing needs) were not [and a small few are still not] compatible with anything above 3.x, 4.x, or 5.x so I had to wait for those (mmm, stew). And then to top it off I figure the possibility that I'll run into upgrade problems is smaller if I go through the chain of updates rather than jumping from 3.6 straight to 7. And don't get me started on the whole rapid release schedule. :P
