There is a "bar" displaying above the tabs that has no apparent purpose

There is a dark gray "bar" displayed above the tabs in FF with what looks like a Lego with a "v" in the middle of it.
What is it? How do I either get rid of it or make use of it -- if it has any use?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== After starting FF in safe mode

This issue can be caused by a plugin or an extension that is not compatible with Firefox 3.6 and isn't working properly anymore.
A toolbar like the "ZoneAlarm Spy Blocker Plugin Stub for 32-bit Windows" and other toolbars like "Ask.com" or "My Web Search" can cause this issue.

Deleting item on favorite bar running above the tab bar, how do I do that?

Above the tab bar in Firefox there are a series of headings like Online Training, Most Visited, Animation Effects etc. How do I delete one of these items from that bar? In the past, I've emptied the cache, but I don't think this is a cache issue. Please advise. Mike Hortens

Thanks for replying, but I tried that earlier and had that did not work. After your reply I did it again, shutdown itunes and rebooted system. I thought since it didn't do that earlier that might work but same results it deleted file from Itunes but no second questions to move to recycle bin.

I accidentally deleted the toolbar and command bar and everything that is above the tabs. How do I get it back?

I accidentally deleted everything above the tabs: toolbar, command bar etc. and now I have no idea how to get it back. Can anyone please help me?

The command bar in IE is situated to the right of the tabs. They include the following:- HOME, NO FEEDS DETECTED, READ MAIL, PRINT, PAGE, SAFETY, TOOLS, and ? This command bar is missing in Mozilla Fire Fox. There is a download called VISTA-AERO but it appears to be incompatible in Fire Fox. To me the command bar is useful so I miss it.
The menu bar is totally different to the command bar. That sits to the top left of the screen. It seems to me from the answers that are posted refer to the menu bar. The way that the answers are written are helpful to those that lose the menu bar but is not helpful to the people who are missing the command bar.
I, like the others who miss the command bar would like a solution to obtaining a compatible command bar in Fire Fox please. Any body have any suggestions please.

I am not able to view the default view of FF 4.0, It is showing menu bar with the windows border. When i turn off menu bar, the strip which should be present above the tabs goes missing.

I have recently downloaded FF 4.0 and using a lot of add-ons. I am not able to view the default view of FF 4.0 with no menu bar. Even after turning off the menu bar from customization, I am able to see only the tabs and FF button, but not the strip over the tabs.

When you hide the menu bar to display the Firefox button, the titlebar (strip above the tabs) is only displayed if the Firefox window is not maximized. If you always want the Window titlebar, you can use the Firefox 4 UI Fixer extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/firefox-4-ui-fixer

When trying to customize-organise the Firefox 17 does not allow the bookmarks toolbar to be placed above the tabs toolbar is there a solution other than reverting to a previous version of FF?

# Type ''about:config'' in the address bar and press Enter.
# Press the big button to bypass the warning.
# In the search box, paste ''browser.tabs.onTop''
# In the search results, double-click ''browser.tabs.onTop'' to set its value to '''false'''.
Note: If you're using either Windows 7 or Vista with an Aero Windows theme, performing the above will make a large part of the Firefox window glassy. If you find this unpleasant, the simplest thing to do is to install a persona.

In an older version I could create buttons above the tabs for easy access to websites I chose. Is there a similar feature in the new version?

In the older version if you clicked on a tab and dragged it to the area directly above the tab, then a button was created. I want to make buttons or preset links in the newer version. Is such a feature or add on available?

omg I figured it out....Go to the bookmarks button on the right hand side of window (near the home button) click on it, then it has an option that says "view bookmarks toolbar" click on it. You should see a space appear below the web address bar area. You can drag tabs into this area like before. YAY. Hope this helps!

How do I get the Tab Group names to appear above the Tabs?

At one point the names of all my Tab Groups appeared above the Tabs. That is, on every page there's a horizontal list of open Tabs. Above that there used to be a similar looking horizontal list of all Tab Groups. Now that horizontal list of Tab Groups is gone.
This was useful for rearranging and re-categorizing Tabs into different Groups because I could see the whole page for any given Tab, and could move the Tab to a different Tab Group simply by clicking on the Tab and dragging to to any Group in the Tab Groups section above the Tabs section. This was usually easier than rearranging Tabs on the Tab Groups page (accessed by clicking the "Group your tabs" icon at the upper right of the display).
I don't know how this feature got there or why it went away, but I liked it.
How can I get this back?

Tab groups were the primary reason I used Firefox (since the beginning).
Now that they are gone, so am I !!!!!
-- However ... good news! ... they are not gone, just a tiny bit more difficult to manage.
You right click on the tab and select Move To Group. You then create new tab groups within the Tab Group interface. Once you've done that, the familiar Tab Group boxes icon appears in the upper right hand corner of each Group in full display.
Having done it a few times, I can't even remember now what the original method was precisely. But all the functions are still there -- that's the important thing! And I'm still here on Firefox (at least until the next bone-headed crisis....)

Moving tabs from one window to another makes the new window vanish. I have hot corners enabled so when I move up to the right corner of my display I can see all my open windows but when I click on the tab that I moved to make it its own window it vanishes

I came up with an alternative solution.
Instead of actually trying to move the JInternalFrame from one JDesktopPane to another, I added a single, maximized JInternalFrame to the left side. When one of the right side frames is to be docked, I merely copy its ContentPane to the single JInternalFrame on the left, set the original to be non-visible, and adjust the properties of the JSplitPane to make the "docked" frame appear.
When the "close" button on the docked frame is pressed, I simply undo this procedure to "undock" the frame and redisplay it on the right-hand side (with its content intact from the docked frame, but in its original position).

TS1702 my safari is frozen. it will not operate and is dark. Also there is a 'lock' symbol above the address box

When I open safari, I can pull up mail and facebook ok, but that's as far as I can go. It is frozen and dark. Also there is a lock emblem above the address line.

Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data (Clear Cache on iOS 4) and also Clear History
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
For the lock sysmbol, whereabouts is it ? Is it next to the battery indicator, indicating that you've got rotation lock on ?

Hi kman1357,
Thanks for your reply. I'm sorry for the confusion. The excerpt provided wasn't meant to address how to remove the "Other" data, but the linked article does have those instructions:
iOS: 'Not enough free space' alert when trying to sync
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1503
Resolution
Try disconnecting and reconnecting your device, then syncing again to solve this issue.
Orphaned files may remain on your iOS device if it is physically disconnected while syncing music, podcasts, videos, or photos. This can prevent iTunes from syncing the iOS device on subsequent sync sessions. When this happens, the Capacity indicator in iTunes may report a large amount of "Other" disk usage for the iOS device. To resolve this issue:
Turn off the music or photo sync option in iTunes for the device.
Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
Turn the music and photo sync options for the device on again.
Click Apply again to try to sync the device to iTunes.
If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 5.
Turn off the automatic syncing functions for the iOS device. To do this:
Select the iOS device from the iTunes window and click the Summary tab.
Deselect "Automatically sync when this device is connected" and select the "Sync only checked songs and videos" checkbox.
Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
Reduce the amount of data that is being synced to the device and resync the device. For example, if syncing your Music library exceeds the memory capacity of the device, choose "Selected playlists" to transfer rather than "All songs and playlists" under the Music tab in iTunes.
If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 6.
Restore using iTunes.
If that does not help, due to the nature of your issue you may have more success using another one of Apple's support resources:

Take care,

Try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears. See if that clears the glitch.
