THE TOOLS MENU NO LONGER SHOWS "OPTIONS" AFTER I UPGRADED TO FIREFOX 5

When I click on the Tools menu, the drop down menu has blanks after "Web Search", "Set Up Sync", and "Page Info". "Options" used to be in one of those spots, and Options no longer shows. I am running a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X Version 10.6.8. I'm running Firefox 5 and the "About Firefox" menu item says that my version is up to date.

On Mac, you should find the options under
Firefox > Preferences

After upgrading to V6, The View menu no longer shows the shopathome toolbar

The shopathome toolbar is no longer on the View menu so I can't display it.
This problem started after I upgraded to Firefox V6 under Windows XP.

Thanks for the great feedback.
While the toolbar offers many benefits the compliment our site (coupon and savings alerts and reminders are my favorite part!), we realize that the toolbar is not for everyone. If you decide to uninstall the toolbar, be sure to use the Uninstaller found in Add/Remove Programs from your Control Panel. We have instructions posted on our FAQs here: http://www.shopathome.com/pages/faqs.aspx#gen13.

Are these suggestions speficic to the Windows version of Firefox? Because on my Mac version (31.0) there is no "options" in the Tool menu

Are these suggestions speficic to the Windows version of Firefox? Because on my Mac version (31.0) there is no "options" in the Tool menu.
I'm trying to figure out why Firefox has no spellcheck. I suspect it needs dictionaries installed, but it's a bit of a mystery. I had to reste FF as it kept crashing after I updated to V31.0

Yes Options is for Windows.
On Mac you use "Firefox > Preferences" or the Preferences button in the "3-bar" Firefox menu button drop-down list.
You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu.
At least one dictionary should be installed and have a check mark to indicate that it is selected.
*Open the "Add Dictionaries" link to install a dictionary if you do not have one.
*Make sure that [X] "Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu is check-marked.
You can enable or disable spell checking globally:
*Firefox > Preferences > Advanced : General: Browsing: "Check my spelling as I type"
You can look here for dictionaries:
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/language-tools/
Were you able to stop the crashes?

How do I quickly change personas in Firefox 4? There is no longer a link on the "tools" menu

I just upgraded to Firefox 4 and I'm a little disappointed, as it is onerous to change my Firefox persona (no link on Tools menu) *and* there is no longer a "select random person from favourites" option! Will this be changed? Am I missing something (i.e. the options are there butn a new place?)

'''Firefox button > Add-ons''' will open the Add-ons Manager tab, then hit the Appearance item on the left-side of that tab. Personas can be selected in that Appearance display. Or, you can use '''{ Ctrl + Shft + A }''' to open that tab.
You can also hit the '''Alt''' key to temporarily reveal the Menu Bar, where the Tools menu item is. Hitting '''Alt''' then '''T''' will open the Tools drop-down.
As far as, ''' "select random person from favourites" ''', that isn't a standard feature in Firefox 4 - it is probably a feature provided by an extension you had installed, that I am not familiar with and can't help you with.

The private browsing option is gone from the tools menu, the one in the file menu dosn't work the same.

Firefox updated itself this morning to 20. The option to start private browsing in the tools menu is gone. The one in the file menu is not the same, it works differently. I would really like to no how to re enable this feature. I always have a lot of tabs up. When I feel so inclined I would hit the private browse button then close. When I would reopen all my tabs would be there. this is but one example of how I used private browsing. If you could help me with this problem I would be very happy. Thank You for your time and support.

Hello, when you start the new private browsing, starts in a new Private Window, and you first window it is exist also.
If you close the private browsing window, your first window exist, but if you close the browser you must set it to '''Show my windows and tabs from last time''' (in Options > General panel > start up) :, [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/startup-home-page-download-settings#w_startup Startup] to see again your tabs and windows when you start firefox.
thank you

Firefox hangs if I try to open Options in the Tools menu

When I select Options from the Tools menu this hangs Firefox and any tabs that may be open. I have to End the non responding program through Task Manager.
This happens any/everytime I try to access Options.
This only happens on my laptop, not my PC. It works fine on my PC. I am on Firefox 6.0.2

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> 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).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Rather than go to the home page I have specified in the General tab of Options in the Tools menu, Firefox keeps going to a truncated version of this url.

I have used the following URL as my firefox home page for quite some time:
https://www.google.com/search?num=100&safe=off&hl=en&complete=0&q=Rochester-NY+CDC.gov+|+NIH.gov&btnG=Search
Several months ago, malware of some sort replaced this url with one of their own. I got rid of the malware and put back my original home page, but I'm continuing have a problem: Every time firefox goes to my home page, rather than using the whole url that I've specified, firefox truncates this url to just the first 87 characters, and goes to this truncated url instead:
https://www.google.com/search?num=100&safe=off&hl=en&complete=0&q=Rochester-NY+CDC.gov+
Not only is this not the url that I have specified in the General tab under Options in the Tools menu, I always get an error message in an additional tab whenever Firefox goes to this truncated version of my home page. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get firefox to use the entire url I have specified as my home page in the General Tab under Options?
I do not know if this is relevant or not, but I noticed that prefs.js includes two other user prefs related to the home page in addition to the one that identifies the url I chose:
user_pref("browser.startup.homepage", "https://www.google.com/search?num=100&safe=off&hl=en&complete=0&q=Rochester-NY+CDC.gov+|+NIH.gov&btnG=Search");
user_pref("browser.startup.homepage_override.buildID", "20130617145905");
user_pref("browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone", "22.0");

You need to escape the pipe character as %7c if you want to include it in the URL

Since updating to Firefox 3.6.15, I can no longer print coupons from SmartSource. The error message is that Java is not detected. The check box is longer showing in the Options/Content of this version of Firefox, so I can not enable it.

Same PC as I used to post the question. When I go to the "plug in check" page, it shows I am up to date and it is not disabled.

Uncheck the "Close Other Forms" option under the Tools menu programmaticaly

Hi,
I have a standard Oracle form open, and I want to open my own custom form, leaving the standard form open, so users can navigate back and forth between the two. I can accomplish this, but I need to go to the Tools menu and uncheck the "Close Other Forms" option. Just wondering if there's a way to do this programatically? Thanks.

Hi,
Do you want to make the option 'not visible' or 'visible but not enabled'...?
For the first option you probably would need to do form personalizations...
For the second option you can refer to the following metalink note... "Note ID 264461.1"...
Thanks and Regards,
Raj

I have the Acrobat X Standard, the tool box no longer gives me the options I had before like splitting documents. Please help!

I have the Acrobat X Standard, the tool box no longer gives me the options I had before like splitting documents. Please help!

Was it AA X Std that you had these options in (sorry, I only have Pro)? If it was the trial (that is Pro), it may be that Std does not have to feature. Under XI at the Adobe site, there is a comparison of features between Std and Pro that might give you a hint.
There is also an option to turn on or hide many tools. For me there is a small icon just above the tools...comment titles. If you select that it give a list of tools you can display. Often, several are not displayed by default. How you lost them is another things, but it is getting them that is the basic question.

Panasonic DVX-100 audio sync tool not showing up in the tools menu

Using FCP 7 in new Mac Pro with a clean install. I following the directions for copying the DVX-100 audio sync file into the proper folder /Library/Application Support/Final Cut Pro System Support/Plugins/
The directions say the Offset Audio Sync command should now appear in the Tools menu. It does not.
I have tried trashing preferences - reinstall the Audio Sync Tool - but it still does not show up.
I use the Panasonic Camera and with my earlier editions of FCP I had no problem installing and using
the Audio Sync file.
Anyone have the same problem or know a solution?
Thanks

I am not sure what's happening with IE9 (no live site) but I had real problems viewing your code in Live View - until I removed the HTML comment marked below. Basically your site was viewable in Design View but as soon a I hit Live view, it disappeared - much like IE9. See if removing the comment solves your issue.

After syncing iPad Air with iTunes the Info Page no longer shows up. Doesn't matter if I sync via wi-fi or try another computer. Without the Info Page how do I sync my calander/contacts/mail ??

I think there's a big ol' discussion in the Mavericks forum about this - some folks have suggested setting up your own CalDAV server so you can continue syncing without having to route things through iCloud.
It may be simpler to go back to Mountain Lion or Lion (assuming you were on either of those). My syncing computer is on Lion and can't go higher so I didn't realize until recently that USB syncing over contacts & calendars was no longer available!

CS6 spacebar/hand tool scroll no longer shows the desktop scrolling

Just got CS6, and spacebar/hand tool scroll no longer shows the desktop scrolling, it only shows the rulers moving and I have to use my imagination to know if my scroll/pan is taking me where I want to be. What's up with that? I really need to see where my scroll is taking me.

I ve already restarted it twice hoping that would be the issue but still won't work

Why wont the contextual menu for imovie appear even after I've turned on advanced tools?

why wont the contextual menu for imovie appear even after I've turned on advanced tools?

Hi
And You are doing it right
• draging a clip ontop of other clip in Project - or -
• ctrl-click on clip in Project
If it's not that - then my wild Guess is that the iMovie Pref file got corrupted.
• TEST - Easy by creating a new User Account / Log into this / re-try iMovie - if it now works then I would trash the pref. file
