Tabs and Ask Toolbar Conflict

Sorry, but I am new to this forumn and don't know how to post a comment that may save time for some folks. About a week ago I posted a problem concerning creating multpple tabs and saving them. I cna't find that posting again, but the answer I got worked until the next update.
At that time I was using FF3.6.14 and the Ask toolbar. Removing it as suggested worked. Later I installed the FF 3.6.15 update and all still worked. Last night I recieved an update of the Ask toolbar.
Upon installing that latest toolbar, I again had the same problem with tabs.
It would appear that the lastest version of FF and Ask still conflict.

Did you create a new profile?
You can try to click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar setup.

Weird separator (cursor line) in tabs and bookmarks toolbar

Hi, after installing firefox I got some weird cursor lines in the tabs and in the bookmarks toolbar and its kind of annoying

yeah..but i was talking about the ones in the tabs..they are somehow connected to the cursor in the address bar..

MacBook Pro running MacOS 10.6. The font size for the tabs and bookmarks Toolbar is too small for comfortable reading for older eyes. Is there a way to change it or enlarge it?

The font size is smaller and harder to read than on FF 3.x. Would like to make it a few points larger or choose a different, more readable font altogether.

Theme Font & Size Changer extension.

My iphone 4 conked out.it was not receiving signal so I switched on and off. But instead of taking me to the apps page it showed ios6 and asked me to go to itunes for an update.instead of updating it asked me to restore settings.now only logo appears

my iphone 4 conked out.It was not receiving cellular signal so I switched off and on.After switching on instead of taking me to the first page of apps it showed me ios6 tab and asked me to connect to itunes where it asked me to restore settings. which i did and waited for an hour and a half and later realised its got stuck. Now the phone does not respond at all and shows the logo and a half complete bar.Is there a solution to this, if at all. Am without a phone here ppl.Thanks

Did you do the update via iTunes?
If you are only getting the logo will want to try to see if can get device in recovery mode and try the restore process via iTunes again.
If you are still unable to get the device to restore will need a repair
Out of Warranty will cost
Just a heads up

In the previous version of Firefox I could close the window and still have my tabs intact when I reopened it. Why does FF 4 closes all tabs and doesn't give me an option to save them? (And if it does, where do I change the setting?)

In the previous version of Firefox, before closing a window with tabs still open, it asked if I would like to "save and close", "close all tabs" or "cancel" the operation. FF4 will just alert me that I am closing those tabs and ask me is I want to continue, without giving the option to save my research for a later use.

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically. 
You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page. 
Another possibility is to use:
*Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

Using "+" I am unable to open additional tabs; if I use File and click on New Tab it will open. I don't have the Ask Toolbar. How can this be corrected?

Prior to today, when I clicked on the "+" a new tab would open. It no longer does that. However, when I open File and click on "New Tab" it opens just fine. I do not have the Ask Toolbar as far as I know (this was mentioned as a problem previously). What can be done to fix this? Thank you.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|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).

I am having a problem adding a new tab, everyone is telling me to get rid of "ask toolbar" however I do NOT have ask, not at all. And yet I still can not find out what to do. Please help!

Hello, I am having trouble opening a new tab on firefox. Everyone has told me to delete the "ask toolbar" but the thing is I do NOT have that, searched over and over and it is NOT on my firefox. Yet I still can not fix the new tab problem. Any help please?!

Try this?

How do I make the firefox toolbar come back? I was trying to get rid of ask toolbar and they both disappeared.

I was trying to eliminate the ask.com toolbar that I did not want, and I somehow eliminated the firefox toolbar too. I want the firefox toolbar back. I also am getting ask.com when I open a new tab, even though mozilla is my homepage with google showing up there, not ask.

To turn toolbars on and off you can either:
* right-click a blank area of the tab bar
* right-click the "+" button on the tab bar
* View menu > Toolbars (if you aren't display the classic menu bar, tap the Alt key first to display it temporarily)
You'll want to turn on the Navigation Toolbar.
There's a hidden setting for new tabs:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter your preferred page:
* ''Page thumbnails (default)'' => about:newtab
* ''Blank tab'' => about:blank
* ''Built-in Firefox home page'' => about:home
* ''Any other page'' => full URL to the page
Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?
If Firefox ignores the setting, one of your extensions may be overriding it. Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Does that fix it?

I am having a problem opening new tabs, when I click the + sign, and ask to open in a new tab, the new location opens in the same tab, thereby deleting the open tab

I reloaded an updated firefox, and this feature appears to have been inactivated.

Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.

Ask toolbar wont let me open new tabs, got it from Java even when I unchecked it.

You need to check out when an update from Java. It ask to to install Ask. I unchecked it and it still installed. Then wreaks havoc to Firefox.

To remove the Ask toolbar, try here:
Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions category
If you have a Disable button but not Remove or Uninstall button, you might need to use the Windows Control Panel to uninstall it.
By the way, your post shows Firefox 3.6.6, which is an insecure version. You should update at least to 3.6.18. You can do that using Help > Check for updates.
If you don't have 3.6.6, please indicate which version you actually have.

You can middle-click a link to open the link in a new tab.

Before, when i closed Firefox with multiple tabs open, it prompted me and asked if I wanted to return to these tabs the next time. When i downloaded the new Firefox, i can't do that anymore. Is there an add-on to make that happen?

I recently updated Firefox on my desktop and laptop. Before, when i closed Firefox, a window would open and ask me if i wanted to return to the same group of URL location tabs the next time i opened Firefox.
Now it doesn't ask that, so i have to remember which sites i was using each time. Is there a way to return to the same group of URL locations each time I re-open Firefox?

For a summary of what to do to get the old behaviour back see this post from [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/804339#answer-158823 Helper 7677]

I changed my Apple ID (other email address and password) and now I can not login to my account in the iPhone iCloud. When I open the tab iCloud displayed my old Apple ID (it was in the iCloud) and asks for a password, but neither the old nor the new password does not match. What to do?

If you want to change your iCloud ID or password on your phone go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your updated information. Note: this only deletes the account and any synced data from your phone, not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts it will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.

On exit, I am not asked if I want to save existing tabs and it closes all of them without saving. How do I get F-F to save my tabs on exit?

I upgraded from version 3.5 In that version when I wanted to quit for the day, I could hit exit and it would ask me if I wanted to quit or save tabs and exit.
In version 4 when I hit file, then exit, it does not ask if I want to save the tabs that are open, it just closes everything and does not save them. When I restart, I get a new tab window, but none of the other tabs I was working on are there.
I need to keep the tabs I am working on available to me; that is what I liked best about the old version.

Firefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
# Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
# Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
# Go to the General panel
# Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
