Tabs still on top after adding Classic Theme Restorer to Firefox 29

Windows 7. Added Classic Theme Restorer to Firefox 29. Set tabsontop to false in about:config and the tabs are still on top. Any suggestions?

It seems that the powers to be have decided that I'm better off with tabs on the top and are going to force me to act in my own best interest as they see it.
Feels more like Apple than Mozilla. On a mobile device this might be a real advantage, but given the number of posts over the many past upgrades, clearly lots of us prefer the tabs right above the content. I have an address bar, bookmark bar and my Norton's toolbar now between the tabs and the content. I'm sure others have other toolbars in there as well. This certainly detracts from the usability for me, and it appears for others.

After installing 'Classic Theme Restorer' firefox button not working

installed 'Classic Theme Restorer' to revert back to usable ui.
this hides/removes the firefox button from the toolbar and puts the old firefox button (orange) in the top left corner.
i also added the new 'firefox button' back to the toolbar, since there are options in this menu not present on the old menu.
however, this toolbar button has no effect, and the menu is not opened.
i have already tried resetting the toolbar customization, as well as removing and re-installing the extension.
issue initially started on version 31, and still exists on version 32.0.1
how can i get both the firefox button, addon bar, and stop/refresh buttons to the left of the address bar?

You can try to reset the browser.uiCustomization.state on the about:config page in case there is a problem with the prefs.
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.

I have used classic theme restorer but my tabs aren't right

I used CTR and asked for rounded tabs, now only the live tab is rounded and other tabs are rounded when I hover but I used to have the non-live tabs rounded too, any suggestions please

There is a Classic Theme Restorer support thread over here.

The CTR developer monitors that thread and provides support there.

Some favicons missing with Classic Theme Restorer

I use Classic theme restorer and one of the functions I'm using is showing the favicons.
However, I got my computer checked/cleaned last week and added memory, and after that I noticed that maybe a fifth of favicons of the pages I've been using/are in bookmarks don't appear any more. Those pages that are bookmarked and have been used before still have their favicons in bookmarks and they appear in history, but pages that haven't been opened before don't have them and those don't appear in history either.
So, basically, does anyone have ideas how to get all favicons appear again? I've restored defaults, removed/restored Theme Restorer, reloaded Firefox. No effect. Ideas what could work?
KK

Made the same question there, but the closest answer I got is:
"There might be (caching, connection, etc.) issues with some sites in some cases resulting in icons not being displayed/loaded correctly, but this is not CTRs fault. If Firefox fails to display favicons in tabs, CTR can't duplicate them inside location bar."
So, anyone got ideas?

How can I get rid of Australis without using Classic Theme Restorer or how can I save vertical space?

Hi!
I have a widescreen notebook so limited space on the vertical axis. So
1) I want to get rid of the tab bar when I have only one window open.
2) I want to get rid of the title bar which includes no necessary information.
3) I want to move the adress bar to the menu bar.
Before Australis, this was easily done. After I did the update I searched very long for solutions. I found only Classic Theme Restorer. It is good, but it often causes my computer to high power consumption which makes the notebook very hot.
So ho can I get vertical space (see 1 - 3)?
Best wishes, Dimi

Hello Dimi,
# I am not sure if it can be done without the use of extensions, but if you are okay with installing one, [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus Tab Mix Plus] gives you the option to hide the tab bar when you only have 1 tab (in addition to many other options). Under the Tab Mix Plus options after installing, the option to hide it will be under Display > Tab Bar. Another one after a quick search is conveniently titled [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hide-tab-bar-with-one-tab/ Hide Tab Bar with One Tab].
# The title bar can be removed by clicking [[Image:New Fx Menu]] followed by Customize. At the bottom of the page that opens should say "Title Bar" (will be beside "Show/hide Toolbars), if you click that the Title bar will disappear and be merged with the Menu Bar.
# I am not sure if the address bar can be moved anymore, but if you still have your Bookmarks Toolbar, that can be placed beside the menu options to give you more space. Go to the same page as in step 2, then click and drag the bookmarks toolbar onto the same toolbar as the menu bar.
Hope that helps.

Help manually making the theme changes offered by Classic Theme Restorer, which is currently buggy.

I recently had problems with Classic Theme Restorer, the add-on suggested by Mozilla for restoring the classic theme to Firefox.
It was causing problems with the tab bar, so I needed to disable it.
I need some help reproducing the look and function that was produced by the Classic Theme Restorer. Here is an image of how I want Firefox to appear.
http://puu.sh/eBWDD/3ec4788e3c.jpg
Items of note:
Tabs On Bottom (I have already set browser.TabsOnTop Boolean = false, but this seems to have no effect?)
Min Tab Width = 100px
Max Tab Width = 250px
Squared Tabs
Combined Stop/Reload button
Star button in URL bar for bookmarking
Any help at all is very much appreciated!

Thank you the-edmeister, I will point out the problems to the developer.
However, I don't think this adequately solves the problem at hand.
I want to know if there is a way to make the changes effected by this extension, without being forced to depend on the extension, which may or may not be kept up to date.

Safe Mode breaks Classic Theme Restorer layout

I use Classic Theme Restorer to restore the customisability that was lost with the new UI introduced in Firefox 29. Recently, I had to use Safe Mode, and upon leaving Safe Mode, the UI broke; the address bar was missing.
My address bar is placed in the menu toolbar next to the menus and navigation buttons, and the navigation toolbar is hidden. Upon enabling Safe Mode, or disabling Classic Theme Restorer, the navigation bar is forced back into the navigation toolbar. After leaving Safe Mode or reenabling Classic Theme Restorer, the navigation toolbar is hidden, but the address bar does not return to the menu toolbar.
Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

That is really a complicated situation if you use an extension to move a normally fixed item to another toolbar.
The extension can't detect that you have used Safe Mode and that has messed with the toolbar customization.
You can try to reset the browser.uiCustomization.state pref on the about:config page and possibly delete the xulstore.json file 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)
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.

Will my open tabs still be open after I install 10?

Will the tabs that I have open (my current version is 9.0.1) still be open after I install version 10?

You can make a backup copy of sessionstore.js in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Then you can restore the file if anything goes wrong. 
That shouldn't happen, but you never know.

My pinned App Tabs do not reappear after I close and then reopen Firefox 4. Why is this happening? What can I do about it?

Using Firefox 4:
I right-click on a tab to "pin as app tab."
The new app tab appears as expected.
But after I close and then reopen Firefox 4, my app tab(s) no longer appear. They go away. Repeated cycles of the above do not keep the app tabs present .
Advise on this would be appreciated.
Thank you.

I have been having this problem on occasion for a while. (Most recently in firefox 7) I just discovered that I had a phantom firefox.exe process running for some reason. This has the same effect as closing your tabbed window before a non tabbed window. I killed the process and my app tabs magically work again.

ITunes still cancels sync after adding music

Apple still has yet to resolve this issue without having users finding ways, and solutions around this problem.
I'm at iOS 7.0.4 on a iPhone 4S, and iTunes ver. 11.1.3 on Mac OSX 10.9
A while back, I had this issue, which I resolved after trying multiple solutions.
& Now, it's back.
I've tried my previous attempts again via different user suggestions.
Restoring my iPhone.
Transfering purchases
Turning off Passcode lock
Unchecking music and rechecking
Disabling sync over WiFi
Manually manage music
Changing ID3 tags to v2.4
AAC converted songs
Using multiple iPhone Cables
Restarting computer/phone.
Making a new playlist
Transfering songs and syncing 100 at a time
Deleting iCloud backup of my music
Syncing genius playlist
I don't want to go through the hassle of resyncing 3k+ songs everytime :\
Any other solutions?

Download any free apps to unfreeze the frozen apps.
If the above doesn't work try a reset.
1. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together)
2. For about 10 seconds
3. Until you see the Apple logo (very important)
4. Ignore the red slider

Right click options to Bookmark Page still do not display despite using Stylish Fx32, Classic Theme Restorer and Customize Menus add-ons. What else can I do??

I updated my home PC's Firefox version to 33.1. I was hoping to see some options here that I see on my work PC's Firefox. Instead, I lost a ton of functionality - most importantly, the Context Menu/Rt Click options. I tried all 3 solutions listed here:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1027817
But none of them have restored the Rt Click "Bookmark Link" option. Are there any other modifications that I can try to fix this issue? Alternatively, can I rollback to the previous version of Firefox that I was using without any problems? I realize that it may be due partly to my machine (running Vista...) but I would hope that there is at least a rollback option, if not an actual solution to the Rt Click "Bookmark Link" option in 33.1.

Pinterest still blocked, even after adding to custom URL exception

Hi,
In WSA I have a custom URL list for exception which are allowed from Proxy.
I have added pinterest.com in the exceptions list. For some users website work perfectly fine via proxy, but the users which are using the global policy cannot open this website. In global policy that custom URL is allowed, even policy trace with that AD users shows that URL is allowed via custom URL list but user gets proxy error denied?
Is there something I am missing in configuration?
Regards,
Sakun Sharma

Hi Sakun,
the best way to troubleshoot this kind of issue is to grep/tail logs from WSA, policy trace is not always accurate. So :
- connect to your WSA via ssh and type the 'grep' command;
- at the following prompt select 'accesslogs'
- at the prompt Enter the regular expression to grep insert the ip address of a user that cannot display the website
- at the prompt Do you want this search to be case insensitive? [Y]> press enter
- at the prompt Do you want to search for non-matching lines? [N]> press enter
- at the prompt Do you want to tail the logs? [N]> type 'y' and press enter
- at the prompt Do you want to paginate the output? [N]> press enter
then from the client with ip address you inserted before try to connect to pinterest, on WSA you will see the logs, to stop log collection press CTRL+C . Post here the output of the logs.
Regards,

I hate tabs on the top and there's no option to put them on the bottom. WHY

enough said. Why would ANYONE assume users want tabs at the top all the time? What an ignorant upgrade. I'm moving to Chrome.

These two extensions would confirm that you have Firefox 29.0.1
browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone: 29.0.1
extensions.lastAppVersion: 29.0.1
You need to reset this pref about:config page:
general.useragent.override: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:16.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/16.0 BLNGBAR
As you have browser.tabs.onTop: False, you may be interested in the Classic Theme Restorer extension.
