Text labels on buttons have disappeared, and the tabs have moved ABOVE the address bar. Why?

Last night I updated to Firefox 29.0.1. Now, I don't mind change - and I don't mind redesigns - but I HATE it when options are removed. I want text labels on my buttons (the "Home" button for example"). In the previous version of Firefox you could right-click in the grey space at the top, and select "customise". From there, you could drag and drop which things you wanted to appear in your toolbar or not - and there was a tickbox to selext if you wanted text labels to appear underneath them or not. Now as hard as I look, I can't find this option. It looks like you're now forcing people to ONLY use icons. I hate that. My brain processes the word "Home" a lot faster than it recognises a little picture of a house. You need to understand that people work in different ways - and just because the Firefox developers might not personally use the text labels, that doesn't mean that no-one does!
What is the point in taking away the option? None at all. Please re-introduce the option. In the meantime, I will revert to the previous version of Firefox.
Additionally, I see that the tabs have now moved on top of the address bar. Again - WHY? I like them below. Why do you feel the need to make design changes - and then not give people the option to customise things how they like?

Yes you can install the Classic Theme Restorer extension without a problem.

  • I want to get rid of the tabs for sites above the tool bar. Used to have an x to delete and now I can't. I feel I am overloading my machine with this excess baggage.

    This did not happen with Firefox 3. all the sites I go to seem to be stored above--then an icon comes on that says my virtual memory is low and I wonder if all this info that I no longer need may contribute to this. I liked Firefox 3 better. There was an "X" to be able to delete the sites I had already been on, but does not appear now. It's 3 lines from the top--same line as Y att.net Mail.
    Thanks for your help.

    When you have a lot of tabs open, Firefox stops showing the "x" on each tab. I think that was done so you could see more of the title. You still can close a tab by right-clicking it and choosing Close tab, or by pressing Ctrl+w to close it.
    Is that the "x" you meant or is it a different one?

  • My previously saved login names and passwords for certain websites seem to have disappeared and don't pre-fill with the new Firefox...is there a fix or something I'm doing wrong?

    After upgrading and beginning log in to sites I've previously saved login names/passwords for...the fields no longer pre-fill.

  • How do you minimize the window when the top of the page is above screen height in ubuntu 12.04, so I can't see the tabs, let alone using the normal minimize

    Hi there, every now and then when i maximixe or minimize a window. The top of the window is above the screen so I am unable to see the tabs or anything above the address bar, is the a way to minimize using the menu, or a configuration file I can alter to stop it going above the top of the screen. It's a pain having to restart the system / firfox when you have a handfull of tabs open while researching and then having to remember which sites you had open to reopen them. thanks

    Use the F11 key or move the mouse pointer to the top of the screen.
    I am using Ubuntu 12.0.4 with various versions of Firefox installed, I think that works with them all.

  • All of the photos in my text messages have disappeared and been replaced with a question mark image. Where did they go?

    I updated my ios two or three weeks ago, but suddenly beginning this morning all of the photos in my text messages have disappeared. They have been replaced with question mark placeholders. I can't access any videos/photos that either I have sent or others have sent to me. I did nothing to instigate this change (no software updates, etc.) and have already tried resetting my phone multiple times.
    Thank you!!

    I have the same condition on my iPhone only. I also have an iPad, a Macbook Air and an iMac that share the same iCloud account. Messages with photos seem to work fine on all devices except my iPhone.  All of a sudden all the photos in my iPhone message streams have disappeared and been replace by question mark placeholders. I rebooted all devices, shut down messages, and rebooted, restarted, with no luck. Very bizarre and extremely frustrating. Any suggestions?

    Ahrenshof: Thank you for your suggestion:
    ((preferences>audio>devices  (re-select your input source) ))
    I already had that done IE. I had duet already chosen as input and output etc etc.
    The problem seemed to be the issue that was addressed by Eriksimon:
    (( ctrl-click the track Header.))
    Following that advice gave me a drop down menu which allowed the various buttons to be
    checked and unchecked.
    Thanks so much for taking the time out to
    help with my problem. It seems to me that
    this formum is far better equipped to handle
    user's problems than any or the options that
    are available on the acual Logic help menu.
    It appears that Logic has been put
    together by techies who, (though they
    may be brilliant at computer software issues), then have
    virtually no skill or imagination with regards explaining
    how to use it, to the actual users.
    I have a PhD in Egyptology. I mention this not
    because I think it a particularly brilliant acheivement
    but just to indicate that I am not a total dummy.
    More to the point I find using Logic needlessly tiresome
    and the explanations that are given in the "Help" menu
    are nothing short of tragic. Perhaps Apple could start to give
    out free ropes or razor blades to everyone who buys the program.
    Not to say it is not much better that the other junk out there, it is,
    the sorry fact is that that is not saying much at all.
    I send sincere thanks to all the users out there who support
    each other through this forum. johnnyloonybin

  • My "send" button has disappeared and my address list on the left side has disappeared also. How do I retrieve these items?

    I have never had a problem sending & or receiving e-mail prior to the past few days. All of a sudden the Send button has disappeared and my address list on the left side has disappeared too.
    I did find some help which suggested opening the Write and then press F9 to retrieve the address list. The address list returned on the left but does not appear as it used to ie. full length of the screen. However what is now there will be satisfactory. The "Send " button is still missing which is frustrating as I have not been able to send any e-mails for approximately a week now.
    Would appreciate advice as to how to retrieve the above.
    Thank you.

    Thank you for your advice re: the SEND button having disappeared and also the address list on the left side having disappeared. I must confess that I was not able to get it back myself. This a.m. my computer would not turn on at all. I therefore contacted the company which services it, namely iTOK and a technician read your suggestions and after a bit of manipulation of various things he got them both back. It seems that I had not noticed the "press the alt key" as part of it due to the fact that the 'alt key' was not 'ALT key'. My fault for skimming too quickly. Thanks again for your advice...it worked and now i am back on track.

  • I just downloaded Yosemite and all my iPhotos have disappeared! I tried importing them from the photo library but it said there wasn't enough space on my hard drive which is rubbish, because they were there before. How do I get them back to iPhoto?

    I just downloaded Yosemite and all my iPhotos have disappeared! I tried importing them from the photo library but it said there wasn't enough space on my hard drive which is rubbish, because they were there before. How do I get them back to iPhoto?

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • All the images in my Speed Dial thumbnails have disappeared and I can't get them back.

    All the images in my Speed Dial thumbnails have disappeared and I can't get them back. When I check the settings all the thumbnails have the site shown in the details so should be showing the site in the thumbnail, but they're just blank. I uninstalled Speed Dial and installed it again, but to no avail. Something is stopping the image appearing but don't know what. I paused blocking on Ghostery, but that makes no difference. Any suggestions would be welcome!
