Tabs fail and address bar is glitched

Hi, I just downloaded safari 3 now, and when I try to open new tabs, it shows a loading symbol on the side (where the tabs is supposed to open up) but then it just disappears. In addition to that there seems to be a problem with the address bar; when a new page is loading the address is partially in bold font. That isn't really a problem but I think it's related to the tab issue.

Hi. If your OS is up to date via Software Update you shouldn't have had to download Safari 3. It is included in 10.4.11.
I suggest you go to http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateppc.html
and download/install the Combo update.
But first you need to check that there is no errors on your start-up disk that caused your Safari problems. Insert your Tiger install disk in the drive and restart. As soon as you hear the start-up chime press and hold the 'C' key. When the installer has finished loading select your Language then Next/Continue. On the next page look at the top left of the menu bar and select Utilities/Disk Utility. Choose your startup volume (the second one down) from the left hand pane and select Repair Disk. If D.U. reports that the volume appears to be OK quit DU, quit Installer and restart normally and log in. Eject the Disk.
If D.U. reports that repairs were made re-run repair until you get the message that the volume appears to be OK. Then quit D.U., quit installer and restart normally and log in. Eject the Disk.
Then go to /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility, select your start-up volume (the second one down) from the left hand pane and choose Repair Permissions. Once that has finished quit D.U.
Then back up at least your important files, or preferably create a clone of your system on an external drive if you have one. Then go to the above link, download it and install. It is a large file, will take a while to download, and takes a long time to install with a long double restart. Do Not interrupt the process once it has begun.
Good luck and post back with how things go or if you have any queries that you want to clear up before you embark upon the above.

My back button, print, and address bar are missing how do I get them back?

''duplicate - locking - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/865223''
tool bar went missing for unknown reason, no back button, no print button no address bar or bookmarks.

''My back button, print, and address bar are missing''
Use "Alt" to make sure the menu bar is visible, then View > Toolbars > ... -- make sure that the Navigation bar is checkmarked, if tabs on top is confusing uncheck that, if you want to see menus and title bar make sure menu bar is check-marked.
If things don't stay put on the toolbars then

Firefox 3.6.11 does not respond on mouse, only Tab key and space bar

HW: Lenovo R61i.
OS: MS Win-XP PRO, ver 20002, SP3
Internet Explorer is diabled in:
Contol Panal|add/remove programs|add/remove windows components
All other programs responds om USB mouse or the little joy-stick between G, H and B-keys.
Removed FF, booted and reinstalled FF 3.6.11.
Mouse works a couple of cliks - then Tab key and Space bar is the only tool.
By the way - living in Norway, means No version og FF :)

Getting very tired of this problem which is becoming much more frequent. I love the FF browser, but lately after I have been on line for a while, the browser stops responding to mouse clicks and I have to use the task manager to shut the program down and then reopen it to get it to work. From what I've been reading in the forums, this is not an uncommon problem. I've done all the recommended fixes and nothing works. Please fix this!!

How do I put my menu bar and address bar back at the top?

I closed my menu bar and address bar, etc. Now I can get them back I even tried reinstalling Firefox and that didn't work. Opposite clicking the top of the page doesn't work, either. HELP!
== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== When I temporarily turned off my bars.

Hit the '''Alt''' key to show the Menu bar, then open View > Toolbars and select Menu bar, so it has a check-mark.

I want the tabs below the address bar

Having tabs above the address bar is supposed to be more convenient, but all it means is I have to look up past the address bar to read the name of the tab. Is there a setting to move address back on top?

Right-click on a toolbar, click on the "Tabs on Top" entry to de-select it.

Does anyone have any ideas how to fix the rendering problem on dialogue boxes, menu and address bars in the Beta?

I am getting bizarre zigzag lines, bolded items on the vertical part of letters on the Menu bar and Address bar, and any edge of a dialogue box or input frame gets the odd zigzag lines on both sides.

Your battery experience is unusual. While I don't use my phone a lot it is on 24/7. The mists I've seen my battery run down is to abut 45% after 10 hours offi the charger.
Here's how to reset (reboot) your phone. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.
If that is what you did I suggest making an appointment at and Apple store for a consultation.

First tab will not close and address bar in tab does not update.

The first tab and its address bar are not working as expected. I am unable to close the first tab using the close icon on the tab or by selecting close tab from right click menu.
I also find that the address bar when displaying the first tab does not display the current web address, only text that has been previously written into the address bar field.

While trying to figure out a solution, I removed my themes and I closed the tabs I could, then clicked on the new tab button, doing so changed my original tab into an (Untitled) tab and created a new (Untitled) tab. I then found I couldn't close either tab, I clicked on new tab again, got a third (Untitled) tab, which again I couldn't close. I then closed Firefox choosing not to save. This appears to have fixed the problem; however I do not know which of the above action(s) resolved it.

Tabs and address bar gone in fullscreen

I can't access my tabs or address bar in fullscreen on macbookpro. It only started doing this today

What happens if you hover the mouse to the top?
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-to-use-full-screen
Does it has effect if you toggle the browser.fullscreen.autohide to false on the about:config page?
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar.
You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

My tab and address bar fonts changed on their own.

I'm not really sure how this happened, but I opened Firefox and noticed that the font is different for the address bar, on all the tabs, and in any popup notifications. Is there any way I can fix this? I hate how this new font looks.

How do I move my TABS below the address bar WITHOUT having to install an add on ?? may have to goto another browser now!

Firefox just updated and now my TABS are above the address bar...
I do not wish to add another add on, it should be basic functionality to do this (as in previous versions)
The vast population of users also want this according to the forums.
How do I do this without having to resort to a "FIX" or an add on as this would add to memory usage.. ??
Why have you removed this functionality?

So if I dont want to install an add you suggest installing an add on???
PS, I dont want to install an addon!!

New windows open like Tabs but no address bar

Hello,
After upgrading to Firefox 4, when I open a new browser window, it displays as a new tab. But with the tab under all the toolbars, the address bar missing, and my bookmarks gone. Back, forward, and reload buttons are not functional.
I have to open 3-4 new windows before getting one that's "normal". Has anyone else seen this?
A fix, please?
Thank you.

You can try:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions 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 can I move the open tabs down the address bar, like it was in the older version?

I love Firefox and been using it for a while, but the new version has some changes and they are kind of getting annoying.
I just need the open tabs not on top of the address/URL bar,
I just want them under the URL/address bar , like it was in the old version. Please guide me and walk me through how to do it.
I tried to look for it, but couldn't find it.

View > Toolbars and UNCHECK the 'Tab Bar on Top" option.

How can I move the tabs below the address bar in linux/FF 24?

I prefer the tabs to be under the address bar on my Firefox. Previously I could simply click or unclick an option to do this, and it remained the same as I upgraded. However, I recently moved to Linux Mint 16, and it had Firefox 24 already installed. I synched my bookmarks, but was unable to locate the option to move the tabs. I actually have the roomy bookmarks toolbar, and the tabs previously sat below it. Ideally, I would like to get them there again.

You can use the Classic Theme Restorer extension in Firefox 29 and later to restore some lost features including tabs on top.

How do I move the Home button between Back Forward and address bar?

The way I have my firefox set up for years is to put the buttons like this:
[Back][Forward][Stop/Reload][Home][Progress Animation][Address Bar]
Now in FF29 I'm trying to move the Home button between the BackForward buttons and the address bar and it won't let me.
I thought FF29 was supposed to be the most customizable Firefox yet? *confused*
Is there a way to do this, am I missing something? Thanks

''' "I thought FF29 was supposed to be the most customizable Firefox yet?" ''' 
Whoever told you that was incorrect, as far as I am concerned. Firefox still is more customizable that the "competition", but not as much as previous versions were.
The Home button can be moved, but the Back / Forward combo button is attached to the Address Bar - they can't be separated.
The combo Stop / Reload button is locked in the Address Bar. 
The old "Activity Indicator" is gone. Deemed unnecessary with the loading animation on the left corner of each tab, where the Favicon appears once the page is fully loaded.

Many users are installing the Classic Theme Restorer extension. 
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ But I don't think that is going to turn out to be along term solution. As users start installing other extensions I think they are going to run into compatibility issues where the new extension "expects" the user to be using what Firefox came with - not the "retro" features.

Placing tabs below the address bar

Hi everyone,
I recently had to "refresh" Firefox because Adblock Plus kept getting disabled somehow. Now I'm having a hard time getting my layout back to what I'm accustomed to. What I would like is to have the following layout:
[Menu bar] 
[Address bar] 
[Tabs] 
[Bookmarks toolbar]
The default is to have tabs on the very top, and with the 'Classic Theme Restorer' I can put the tabs on the very bottom, but I'm trying to get back to having them below the address bar but above the bookmarks toolbar. If you can help me get there, I'd be most grateful!

See:
*[[/questions/1049464]] Bookmarks toolbar POSITION resets to the very top after closing firefox
*[[/questions/807135]] How can I move my toolbars up and down?
Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.

The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.

You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
*Create the chrome folder (lowercase) in the <xxxxxxxx>.default profile folder if this folder doesn't exist
*Use a plain text editor like Notepad to create a (new) userChrome.css file in the chrome folder (file name is case sensitive)
*Paste the code in the userChrome.css file in the editor window
*Make sure that the userChrome.css file starts with the default @namespace line
*Make sure that you select "All files" and not "Text files" when you save the file via "Save file as" in the text editor as userChrome.css. Otherwise Windows may add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with a not working userChrome.css.txt file
