The menu bar sometimes becomes disabled

Sometimes in the middle of using FF 4, the menu bar simply grays out and is disabled. I have not been able to figure out anything I have done prior to each time this has happened.
Here is a picture of the menu bar: [http://www.flickr.com/photos/23082864@N04/5529491107/]
I can make it disappear entirely (and bring up the FF button) and the restore it but nothing changes. It remains grayed out until I restart FF.

Create a new profile exclusively for the Firefox 4 version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile.

How to enable back the menu bar has been disable?

I has been disable the menu bar. and i want to enable back
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== when i disable the menu bar

'''ALT V
T

Be sure to do this in a blank tab.

The search window on the menu bar has become tiny. Can I restore it?

In the past few days the search bar next to the address bar on the top of the mozilla page has become tiny--not even room for one letter. If I type a letter I am immediately taken to a google search page, and whatever I'm looking for is lost. This hasn't happened in Safari, only in Firefox. So far as I know I didn't create this change.
How can I restore the old search bar?

Place the cursor between the Location bar and the Search bar, when you see the <-> , click and drag to the left to make the Search bar larger.

How can I disable the menu bar to pop up when I move the cursor to the top of the screen?

Greetings, guys!
I'm completely new to Os X.
I want to know if the menu bar can be disabled not to appear when moving to the screen top.
It unnecessarily appears when I play a shooting game like Contract Killer in Full-screen Mode, in which I occasionally happen to move the cursor to the top.
Thank you...

There are 2 Fullscreen modes for some games. And some games only use 1 of them. The usual Fullscreen that you'd expect, and the one we call "Borderless Window".
The classic Fullscreen utilizes all your display and things like menu bar, OSD's, "Always On Top" windows won't pop up while you are playing. But the Borderless Window is just a window that has the same resolution and dimensions with your desktop, and has no borders. Other elements like menu bars, OSD's and "Always stay on top" windows can get into your way while playing. And it's also slower than the classic fullscreen.
Check if your game offers any option of selecting between these 2 Fullscreen Modes, and select the classic fullscreen mode.

Firefox 4 Menu Bar - When I hover over or select a menu bar item, the menu bar sub-menu becomes transparent and unreadable. Is this a known issue that can be corrected with an update or is it functionality that is not designed to work with this version?

Firefox 4 Menu Bar - When I hover over or select a menu bar item, the menu bar sub-menu becomes transparent and unreadable. Is this a known issue that can be corrected with an update or is it functionality that is not designed to work with this version?

If this happens on monitor 2 of 2, this problem has been solved here:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/794823#answer-157988
Go to "Firefox"--> "Options" --> "Advanced"
Then un-check "Use hardware acceleration when available"
While not verified, I believe this problem is due to an SLI configuration where the focus is on monitor 1. (I.e acceleration is available, but only on monitor 1.)

Disable or remove "Business Explorer" in the menu bar

Hi,
I'm using BEx Analyzer and tring to disable some controls in BEx toolbar. I got some helpful information from the following thread Bex Analyzer Toolbar in Excel and now I can grey out some toolbar buttons. But I found there is also a "Business Explorer" in the top menu bar. Does anyone know how to disable or remove that?

hi MSTF,
try this
Sub Disable_BEx()
Dim CmdBar As CommandBar
Dim CmdBarMenu As CommandBarControl
' Point to the Worksheet Menu Bar
Set CmdBar = Application.CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar")
' Point to the BEx menu on the menu bar
Set CmdBarMenu = CmdBar.Controls("Business Explorer")
'to disable menu "Business Explorer"
CmdBarMenu.Enabled = False
'to hide/'remove' menu "Business Explorer"
CmdBarMenu.Visible = False
End Sub
hope this helps.

Ever since I updated to OSX 10.9.3 the menu bar and dock keep hiding. How can I disable this?

I updated to OSX 10.9.3 and now the top menu bars and the dock always hide. I always have to click at the top to get them to show again. I wan't to see them all the time as before. Any solutions? Btw. my automatically hide and show dock option from the dock options menu is disabled, but everything keeps hiding.

They hide when you use an App in Full Screen mode
Go to the top of the display and force the menu bar to be revealed and click on the blue full screen icon, to take it out if that mode

Using Maverick in two screen setup sometimes the mouse arrow follows the menu bar when I switch screens, and sometimes not. Sometimes the menu bar is on one screen and the mouse is on the other. What am I missing?

Am looking for a simple way to move the mouse arrow to the other screen. Must I go to Apple/System prefs? I assume the mouse arrow and the menu bar should stay together. OK, but how do I access the dock when it is not on the screen with the mouse arrow? Is the Dock unmoveable? What is needed, I guess, is a master screen with mouse, dock and menu bar, and the option to select which screen is master with all those commands available.

You're Welcome...
Another silly suggestion...
Have you done a Restart since you were fiddling around with various settings...?

Occassionally when I visit a website, the menu bar becomes gray and hard to read, being restored only bt minimizing and restore.

Occasionally I have noticed that the menu bar appears a hard to read gray. This seems to occur after a visit to accuweaher.com.. It is reproducible even though both the foreground and background menu bars for the desktop are set to black.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

How to disable the menu bar from hiding and fix screen?

I've looked thoughly to find the answer online, system preferences and here with no luck. I recently updated my software to Mac OS X 10.7.4. Now the menu bar is automatically hiding, but reapearing when I mouse over and the screen in all windows are too wide and long. When I click the 'green' icon for resizing the window, it sizes it too wide and long. I am not in full screen and do not have enlarge on (COMMAND +) and i've check the display settings. Maybe Mac added this as a feature with the update thinking people will like it but I don't like it at all, my typing in an email is not visable on the right. Can someone please tell me how to turn this feature off? Also the resolution/clarity of my screen is not as good since the update. It is not much of a difference but enough to make my eyes hurt a bit.
thanks for your help!

Yes it is Aluminium. Yes I checked that it is set to 1280 by 800 and changed the resolution and changed it back many times to see if that would help. Is this not a new feature with the new OS X update? Thanks

Firefox sometimes does not display my tabs along the menu bar when two or less are open - is this a bug?

When I have less than three tabs open after having more open, Firefox does not display the tabs along the menu bar. This means I can't see tabs when I have two open. Is this a glitch?
Note: I am aware that I can set Firefox to always show the tabs, but I do not like this setting for when I only have one tab opened.

You can try to '''Reset toolbars and controls:''' and '''Make Changes and Restart''' in the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode] start screen.

PS CS4 menu bar sometimes disappears (parts of it)

Now and then, part of my menu bar disappears - the section just to the right of "help" - I think the first icon for this particular bar is to open Bridge. I've included a screen shot of my issue - notice that area seems to show my desktop (or whatever is open behind PS). I think this has something to do with my graphics card. I have a nVidia GEForce 9500 GT (driver version 6.14.11.9107 from 9/27/09). The driver is current. When this issue comes up, I have to literally reboot for that secion of the menu bar to reappear. Simply logging off and back on doesn't do it. When this menu bar section "does" appear, when I mouse over the icons, the "roll over" icon is blank - or just solid grey. I don't think that is how it's supposed to look.
I've also had trouble (recently and in the near past) with my "show grid" setting (reference: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/493932?tstart=0). For example, I would create a document 72px x 72px @ 72ppi - make my grid visible (grid settings are set to show 1 grid line every 1px & 1 subdivision). When zooming into any corner of the image, I could see the grid lines were offset (example images on my reference post) - this is not to be confused with the pixel grid. I'm wondering if these issues are related to each other and/or because of my graphics card. The grid line offset issue was previously fixed by deleting my preferences, but sine this is happening again, my guess is something is causing the "grid" to show improperly. I've tested with and without GPU enhancements enabled in PS preferences. I just can't find a common thread in which causes these issues.
If I still have your attention, I would like to add an "off topic" issue (maybe somoene reading this can help on the other issue too). In reference to http://forums.adobe.com/thread/508982?tstart=0, no one has really been able to answer this or confirm/deny they get the same results. This has to do with viewing document size, and the unit of measurement seems to get stuck on cm (I want it to remain on inches like it always did with CS3) - maybe I should go back to CS3. Whenever I have rulers set to pixels, the document size locks to cm. The only way I can see inches in document size is if my rulers are set to inches. To me, it makes sense to have rulers set to pixels (for many reasons), but when it comes time to print, change canvas size, etc., I want to see the document size in inches. I don't know if this is normal, but when I go to create a new document, in the preset drop down list for "default photoshop size", it's unit is cm. Could that have something to do with my cm issue? I'm already made sure my regional settings are US, and unit settings are set according to attached image (unitSettings.jpg).
At this point, I'm going mad because these little bity querks just drive me up the wall to the point I can't get anything done because I'm always troublshooting.If anyone can shed some light on any/all of these topics, you would save me from slicing a wrist or two Thanks...

Are you having rendering issues with other software or just with Adobe PS CS4?
At the moment, I'm not really using any other programs which would call for any rendering. Videos seem to play fine, so other than PS, I'm not using any other programs.
Did you update CS4 to 11.0.1?
I just did, so I guess I have to play the waiting game now. The roll over issue I mentioned before is still giving me just a gray square roll over state. I don't know what (if anything) is supposed to show on roll over. What do you see when you roll over any of those buttons?
Also you might want to update Directx. I know it has nothing to do with
opengl but some posters in the past have reported that some things got
better.
I currently have version
When I tried to update at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=2da43d38-db71-4c1b -bc6a-9b6652cd92a3, and install, I would get this error Even though I meet the requirements for this update, something is not letting me. I even made sure my Cryptographic Services was enabled and started. When opening PS, there were times I would get an error something to the effect that PS had a problem with the display driver so something or another was disabled (which I'm thinking it was just not allowing open GL drawing (which was usually around the time I would notice that menu bar section I posted about previously).
Also sometimes newer video card drivers are not the best drivers for a
given application. Have you went back to a set of older drivers to see
if that may cure the problem?
I've rolled back my graphics driver. Will have to wait and see if that solved anything.
As for
the ruler problem some people, from what I have read, have the same or
simular issue. There is a recent thread about 2 or 3 days ago that had
a ruler problem and I don't think it was fixed.
The recent thread was probably mine. I didn't mean to double post about that topic, but sometimes when just one person responds (and usually doesn't have anything helpful to say), others will just pass up that post. This issue is maddening, so maybe one day it will fix itself or I will move on.
Thanks for your time, I will post back if anything else goes wrong - I mean "when" something else goes wrong.

The "Menu bar" duplicates itself in IE9

I always have the "menu bar" displayed by default in IE9. Sometimes, several times a day, the "menu bar" will duplicate itself and display twice on the browser screen. If I turn the "menu bar" off and back on the problem goes away for a while
but will return. I am just wondering if this is happening to anybody else or is it just me? Here is an example of what the screen looks like with two menu bars. Oh, the top "menu bar" does not work.

wondering if this is happening to anybody else or is it just me?
Usually that's a symptom of a problem with a video driver, especially if the Menu bar is not pinned, e.g. if it only shows when Alt- is pressed. In that case a possible workaround would be ticking
Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering*
(in Options, Advanced tab, requires restart)
There is some other toolbar showing between the two. What would that be? Is it relevant to the Google page you are in? E.g. perhaps a Google toolbar? Then I would try disabling or uninstalling that to change your symptom. (It
would change your symptom because then that bar would not be there. <w>)
Also, it may be relevant to know if you ever use Fullscreen mode, e.g. press F11 to toggle that on and off, since that would flip it off and on and perhaps cause confusion for your video system, especially if the window is otherwise in Maximized mode and
the Fullscreen mode used without its conventional Auto-hide option (e.g. Alt-Space h would be unchecked). Etc. (E.g. I think that using a pinned website could also be an example of when the option could be on in some cases but off in others.)
the top "menu bar" does not work.
Which menu? Alt+Space? Alt-x, Esc, Menu key? Then how do you turn Menu bar off and on? What do you mean "does not work"?
Oh. You mean of the two rendered Menu bars only the bottom one works? Doesn't look like it. Or perhaps you mean: "Although the top Menu bar looks like it might work, it doesn't"? ; }

I have some forms stuck under the menu bar on Mac Mountain Lion

I have a stock market program and two of their forms have become stuck under the menu bar. Closing the program doesnn't help because when it's restarted it returns to the exact same spot and I can't reach the close buttons. I've tried changing the screen res put that doesn't help. Any ideas?

Bob ~ Try this: Close the stock market app. Then  menu > System Preferences... > General pane > Check "Close windows when quitting an application":
...Then open, close and re-open the stock market app. If that doesn't help, use the camera icon to post a screenshot so we can see what you're referring to:

Title Bar stuck under the Menu bar and I cannot select and move it.

I often arrange windows around the desktop and sometimes I inadvertently push a window up too far and the title bar gets under the menu bar. Once I let go of the arrow, the title bar is too far under the menu bar and I can no longer reach it to move it down. The only solution is to close out the program and start over. Is there a way unbeknownst to me to select the title bar again and move it?
Sharon

My E*Trade streaming watch list was stuck under the Menu Bar also. I tried reseting the screen resolution down to 1280 x 1024, and restarting the MarketTrader. There on the display was the stuck window, out from under. I resized and moved it to a central location, and resized the display back to my normal 1920 setting. And to my relief, the window Bar! Thanks Discussion!
