The top bar changed when I downloaded firefox 5.o how do I get it to look like the old style? It also makes all my pages really zoomed out so I have to zoom in to see them.
The new menu bar is all boxy looking and I want the old style back that looked like this http://images.six.betanews.com/screenshots/1100800989-1.png
Also every time I visit a new page it makes it really small so that I have to zoom in to see it which is annoying because before I downloaded 5.0 it was fine.
My computer is a toshiba laptop and I am using windows vista.
Your original had tabs on top, the current one does not. Also I note a dark background, is that some none default theme or persona, or a side effect of system display changes ?
I have noted others comment about pages needing zooming, no idea why that happens on some sytems, possibly something to do with the font changes.
I do not notice much difference between versions screenshot attached Firefox 4 and Firefox 6.0a2 open adjacent to each other.

it was so convenient before, and how I got most people to convert to Firefox - just type in the keyword, like "ebay" or "hotmail" and firefox found the webpage for you.
you say firefox 4 is faster, but now I get redirected to google first, which in version 3 only happened if Firefox wasn't sure of the right homepage.
how do I get it to be like the old one? if not, I think I'm going back to version 3. which was a lot faster because of this.The change between Firefox 3.6.* and Firefox 4 is how location bar search works. In Firefox 3.6 it uses Google "Browse by name" search. With the browse by name search, it performs a Google search and if there is a clear match it will take you to the site, otherwise it shows the Google search result. With Firefox 4 it just performs a Google search if you type something which is not recognised as a URL.
To get the Firefox 3.6 behaviour on Firefox 4 you need to change a hidden preference.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''keyword.URL''', double-click on it and change its value to the link shown below

I have Google as my default home page in Firefox and the Google browser opens when I start Firefox, but every time I open a new tab it opens the Yahoo browser.
Do you have the FastStart extension?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

I "Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems", but it doesn't look like the view on getting started tutorial, ie: there's no "Firefox tab". I would really like to clean out all the old stuff, including add-ons and plug-ins that I've tinkered in, but don't know about or need any more, then start fresh with the latest Firefox. How can I do that?
The Firefox button does not or did not showupon Windows XP by default.
It is easy to display that just remove the option to display the menu bar toolbar. Note
# The functions and available optons are much the same just organised differenttly
# Menu tool bar may be displayed temporarily; even if the Firefox Button is present: by holding down the keyboard '''Alt''' key
#To remove the menu toolbar use '''View -> Toolbars -> []Menu Toolbar'''<br /> see [[Display the Firefox button menu instead of the menu toolbar]] -
My iPhone 4 says it has 15 GB of "Other" in the storage bar in iTunes. What is it and how do I get rid of it?
In my case, this must be me. My iPhone has a bug - it's not any of the other things that are considered "other". It's just an issue. I've researched for over an hour, reduced every settings imagineable (Other doesn't go down - in fact, it goes up, almost like, because I freed up space, it wants to fill in the remaining space). I called Apple - after one hour of being inadvertently hung up on twice (they took my number to call me back in case disconnected and never did - amazing) and then talking to another 3 reps, they just "guessed" which I find offensive to my time - just say "I don't know but if you are willing to take a chance, here's a thought..." rather than not be able to say "I don't know". Warning: Resets DO NOT solve this problem unless you do a clean wipe out and start from scratch (w/o restoring your stuff). Two hours later, I've resolved to wipe out my phone.

The last few times I have been prompted to update my firefox for desktop, my browser has not looked any different even though I get notification to say updates completed successfully. When I update firefox gives a demo of new features and how my browser should look, mine has not looked like the demo for the past few updates. It's annoying because I really like the look of having just one menu button. How can I change the look of my browser?
The Firefox button displays by default only in Windows Vista and Windows 7. You '''''can''''' have it display in Windows XP
'''Menu Bar'''<br />
*right-click empty space at the end of the Tab Bar, click "Menu Bar" to place a checkmark
*Menu Bar checked = Menu Bar on; Firefox button off
*Menu Bar un-checked = Menu Bar off; Firefox button on
*Other methods of doing the same:
**click Firefox button > Options, click Menu Bar
**Quick toggle Menu Bar on/off: ALT+V+T+M
To have the Menu Bar '''''temporarily''''' display when the Firefox button is on, press the ALT key or the F10 key to make the Menu Bar appear and use your mouse to make selections from the temporarily displayed Menu Bar. Why would you want to do this? The selections available are different.

Its a small box with a picture of a mouse that wants me to click and it will not let me do anything else, I can't close firefox without task manager or click on any other areas.

You can try to disable notifications as a test (you may want to reverse this).
You can try to set the dom.webnotifications.enabled pref to false on the <b>about:config</b> page.

I'm using a PC laptop. I have installed firefox 4 on my other computers and the stop/reload button was there after the install. When I installed it on this computer it never showed up. All I had were the stop reload buttons in my toolbar, taking up valuable real estate.
Follow these steps to fix it:
Firefox Menu > Options > Toolbar Layout > Place your Reload button to the left of the Stop button and they will integrate after you close the Customize Toolbar box. Do the same, but place them to the right of the address bar and they will integrate into the address bar.
Hope this helps! -
The tool bar at the top disappeared (file, edit, view, favorites, tools etc). How do I get it back?
I even loaded the beta4 version to see if that would shake the apple out of the tree, and no luck. There appears to be no tab/button anywhere on the screen to bring it back
Be careful with using the Firefox 4 beta version on your current Firefox 3.6 profile folder as it can modify (upgrade) files and make them incompatible with Firefox 3.6 or can otherwise cause problems at a later time.
In Firefox 3.6 and later on Windows you can hide the "Menu Bar" via "View > Toolbars" or via the right-click context menu on a toolbar.
Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the "Menu Bar" or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).

We lost our yahoo bookmarks when updating to Firefox 8. How can we get them back?
we updated firefox for yahoo and we have lost our yahoo bookmarks. I can't find them anywhere under bookmarks.
Tyler,
No, it isn't, otherwise I wouldn't have lost it all of a sudden. I knew the 27.0.1 update was coming, and thinking back now I think this is what happened:
I don't think it asked me about import, it just started the automatic import process (with compatibility check). This import process shows a dialogue on-screen, and I think when moving windows around I wasn't expecting that one to come up - as I did not initiate the update process and only very recently modified my preferences to automatically update instead of asking me first (I changed that back already).
So I guess what happened is that I accidentally cancelled the automatic import process.
So in that case my question is: Where can I find my pre-update profile?
