Webi Tool bar not loading correctly?

BOXI31 SP3.0 Java 1.6
Strange bahaviour.... when users go to edit a report, there tooll bars seem to freeze up... on the tool bar, there is a bunce of horizontal bars, almost like an accordian?? " |||||||||| "
anyone run into this...???

Hi Michael,
I have not heard of that specific error, but I have had issues with some of the newer Java releases. Check to see if you are on a version of Java newer than 1.6.0_17. But then I am on SP2 not SP3, so that may not matter. Still, the issue sounds similar to some I have come across when the Java version is not compatible.
I had upgraded my Java version without thinking it would matter and spent days trying to figure out what was wrong. Uninstalling the new version and reverting back to an older version was the only thing that fixed the problem.
Thanks

Just Tool Bar and nothing else

Help! Burning DVD's last night. Tried dual layer but didn't work so split movie in FCP into two sections. Now IDvd only shows up on the tool bar and my screen saver is on the screen. When I try to open a project in this I get the spinning color wheel of death. Have to get these burned to a client so any help would be greatly appreciated.

1. Shut down your Mac.
2. Disconnect all third party USB and FW devices or anything that did not ship with your mac when it was first purchased from apple.
3. Check all connections and make sure they are plugged in and secure.
4. Give us more info on your mac (hardware wise) other than it's a G4. Which Mac is it? Tell us exactly how much available hard drive space is remaining on the boot volume (your main start up HDD) and what OS is running, and which version of QT?
5. What software do you have running on this mac? I can see you have FCP and DVDSP. Tell us which version of FCP you are running and the same for iDvd.
6. Do you have any Non-standard QT Plug ins on this mac (ie, Perian)?
7. Are you running from a server by any chance or is this mac communicating with a server of any type which might slow it down and cause the app to stall?
8. Go ahead and power up your computer. Assuming it starts normally, run apple's disc utility and repair permissions from apple's disc utility within the applications folder. You also need to dispose of the plist for iDvd immediately after repairing permissions. So go into your Home holder (the one that looks like a house) > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iDvd.plist Drag and drop this preference to the trash. Now open system preferences and go to accounts > login items and take note of which items login on their own. If you see third party software launching on its own, then we need to disable these items for the time being.
9. Restart your mac now. If it doesn't start normally and simply freezes; then come on back for more troubleshooting and we'll walk you through how to boot from the software CD that shipped with this computer so we can repair the HDD directly from the software CD. When you get this far, come on back and tell us what happened to this point.

Rightclick a bookmark on the Bookmarks Tool Bar and click Properties

If I right click a bookmark on the Bookmarks Tool Bar and click properties Firefox freezes and I don't get the properties. Is this a known issue?

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See:
* [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: 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"
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox

I can no longer get my address bar, back or foward buttons, tool bar, menu bar or anything else. How can I restore?

When I open Firefox I do not get an address bar only Google comes up. I don't get a back or forward button nor do I get the tool bar or menu bar. There is no default button. I read the forum but I can not make any corrections because I don't have a tool bar displayed. I am using 3.6. When I turn off my computer and then turn it back on, the default settings still do not return.

It is a long while since I tried Google Toolbar, I am not sure what it changes. But I would not expect it to totally remove your options to use the ordinary toolbars.
■ Try
* press the''' alt '''key on the keyboard, that may return the menu bar
* once you have the menubar '''View -> Toolbars ->''' and select which you need
* you may also use View-> Toolbars -> Customise and drag items back or use the restore default set option.
* right clicking on the toolbars also gets you to the customise and show toolbars options
■ have a look at [[Back and forward or other toolbar items are missing]]
PS
I hope you do not need to resort to editing registry settings, the firefox 'dragons' in prefs are user friendly compared with Windows registry. Messing up firefox prefs only really affects firefox normally; whereas errors in a registry edit may prevent you from even booting the computer.

How do I get back my AT&T Yahoo Home Page and Tool Bar?

I am a senior citizen with little computer knowledge. I cannot cope with changes to my home page because I do not have the knowledge/skills to undo the changes your program has installed.
AT&T is my Internet Service Provider. Firefox is my browser. Right? When I installed the newer version of Firefox it usurped my AT&T Yahoo Home Page and Task Bar. I want my old home page and task bar back.
I used system recovery to go back a couple hrs. prior to when the new Fire Fox was installed and lost Firefox & At&T. Was in a great state of frustration when I couldn't get system recovery up after going to control panel. System recovery finally popped up again and I went forward to after installation of new Fire Fox and have system up again.
I am unable to read up on new Fire Fox program now. All I want is my old AT&T Yahoo Home Page back with their Task Bar. I can learn new Fire Fox as time permits.
For a non-profit organization I find Fire Fox quite aggressive. That is good when mobilizing us to write or call Congress but not to take over my Home Page.
Will have to admit new Fire Fox sure is faster.
I do want to commend you for taking a stand against what Congress is trying to do and also for your non-intrusive, not obnoxious way of asking for donations. You help inform us and let us know of your need and anyone that is not a free loader with a conscience, I think, would make a donation according to what one can afford. Keep up the good work and the good fight..........please do help me restore my home page back to AT&T with the old task bar.
I appreciate all the help you can give me. Please excuse this long note.
Blessings, Helen
Added Note: AT&T home page returned. Still need Tool Bar. Troubleshooting information from Firefox help for Tool Bar below. Also info to restore Refresh and Home icon below.

This is the answer from Firefox Help to get Tool Bar back up:
Why are the menus (File, Edit, View, etc.) missing?
If you're using Windows 7 or Windows Vista, you now have an orange Firefox button that takes the most common functions and puts them in one menu.
To temporarily show the old style menus, just press the Alt key.
To have them shown all the time, right-click on an empty section of the Tab Strip and check Menu Bar in the pop-up menu.
Menu Bar - Win
Pressing the Alt key didn't work for me but the latter instruction did the trick.
Check the Navigation Bar too on the pop-up menu if you want your Refresh and Home Icons to show. It took quite a few right-clicks for me before the pop-up menu I needed came up so keep trying until the right menu comes up.

I want to unload Yahoo tool bar and go back to firefox tool bar but cannot pull up a "tool bar" it is missing as well as the back icon My book marks are apparently in the firefox format and I cannot access them

I want to restore firefox tool bars so I can have the back icon and my bookmarks accessable. I now have Yahoo tool bar and it does not show file, tools, edit, etc.

'''''"does not show file, tools, edit, etc."''''': That is the Menu Bar; see below
'''Can't see the Menu Bar''' (File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help)?
Turning the Menu Bar on and off is a new feature in version 3.6.
''(~~red:Linux & OSX see~~: [[Menu bar is missing]] )''
''Windows'' Method 1. '''''Hold down''''' the key and press the following letters in this exact order: V T M then release the key
''Windows'' Method 2. Tap once on the F10 key, while the Menu bar is visible, choose "View > Toolbars", click "Menu Bar" so that a check mark is placed next to Menu Bar
''Windows'' Method 3. Tap once and release the key. The Menu Bar will be displayed; then choose ~~red:V~~iew > ~~red:T~~oolbars and click on ~~red:M~~enu Bar so that a check mark is placed next to Menu Bar
The Menu Bar should now be displayed permanently, unless you turn it off again using View > Toolbars. Check mark = displayed, NO check mark = not displayed.

I can't move my application to navigate the tool bar. It is stuck under the Apple bar.

I can't move my application to navigate the tool bar. It is stuck under the Apple bar. I have a screen shot of it if I can figure out how to upload it. I can navigate and move all other applications, I have restarted computer, updated Adobe. any advice.

In that application what options are available to you under the Window menu item? Maybe something there that'll help?

I've downloaded the software and have an icon on my MacBook tool bar. How do I open or use it?

I'm a retired American living permanently in France but don't speak the language so hope someone will help in English. I've used Firefox before with good results on a foreign currency trading platform. But the company went bankrupt so now I'm trying to start over with a different firm. I'm using Mac OS X, Version 10.6.8 and I've managed to download Firefox 11.0.dmg which shows as an icon on my tool bar. However I've not been able to install or use it. When I click on the icon a Firefox screen appears but nothing happens when I click on it to open.

Can't drag icon from customize screen to tool bar on Dell Venue 8 Pro tablet.

On my Dell Venue 8 Pro tablet, win 8.1, I am unable to drag the 'download' (arrow) icon from the customize screen on to the tool bar.
I was able to drag the 'search' icon from the screen to the tool bar.
Why can I drag one, and not another?
Thanks,
WoodyB

You can click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar setup if there is a problem with customizing the toolbars.
You can check for problems caused by a corrupted localstore.rdf file if you continue to have problems.

How do I install a foxit button on my tool bar? I recently upgraded to the latest version, but my tool bar does not contain a firefox button which is need for certain tasks, such as private browsing.

I had an existing laters 3 point whatever version of Firefox and recently upgraded to Firefox 10. This new version still has the old toolbar across the top, but there is no "Firefox button" which one has to use to activate certain action such as "private browsing." Is there anyway I can install the button on the toolbar, or is there a way to change to the new version 10 interface which includes the Firefox Button. I would prefer the former (the old configuration with the tool bar on top, but if that cannot be done, how to I migrate to the new configuration which apparently puts the tools on the side, if I'm not mistaken.
Thanks for any help you can provide. I have Windows XP.

If you have the old fashioned toolbar, you can still go into Private browsing by clicking Tools, then "Start Private Browsing". All the options that are in the Firefox button are in the old style toolbar, just maybe a little more hidden.
To enable te Firefox button, go into View, then Toolbars, then uncheck "Menu Bar". You should have the Firefox button.

On first startup each day my tool bars revert to the default setting instead of my customized setting. Why? How do I stop it from happening.

This happens on both of my computers. After I close down Firefox and then start it up again it sometimes comes to my customized set of tool bars. At other times it does not. Usually the first time I start Firefox it reverts to the default Toolbars. My extensions are Adblock plus, Browsing protection, down them all, float notes, Image Zoom, Java Console 6.0.21 and 6.0.16, Java quick starter, Kodak Easyshare, Link Password, Mile wide back, Microsoft.net framework, Print/print preview, Reminder fox, WOT, Xmarks, Yet another smooth scrolling.

This is caused by a corrupt file, for details on fixing it see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Toolbar+keeps+resetting

* If the menu bar is hidden then press and hold the Alt key down, that should make the Menu bar appear (Firefox 3.6 on Windows) (see [[Menu bar is missing]]).
* Make sure that you have the ''Navigation Toolbar'' and other toolbars visible: View > Toolbars .
* If items are missing then see if you can find them in the View > Toolbars > Customize window.
* If you see the item in the Customize window then drag it back from the Customize window to the Navigation toolbar.

Firefox crashes as soon as I open it, it stays open long enough to see that a bogus toolbar was added on and I suspect that's the source of the problem, but how can I remove the add-on if I can't get FF to stay open long enough to get to the tool bar?

I downloaded Vuze last night and I think it must have installed some malware because firefox hasn't worked since and a Vuze tool bar has made its way into the browser. I am running a malware scanner but its not coming up with anything. Is there any way to manually delete add-ons or plug-ins or whatever they are without being in the program itself? Thanks!

I don't have a good sense of what is going wrong.
Was Firefox stable in step 3 -- open with no sessionstore.js file and then exit?
If that was stable, it might be easiest to cull the open URLs from your sessionstore.js file and re-open the most important ones manually. You will lose the ''detail'' of your session on those pages (e.g., data you had entered into a form), but if that's okay, it might be the next step.
I found a script on mozillaZine that will extract URLs from the sessionstore.js file; I just changed the formatting of the output. To run the script:
(1) Return to your profile folder and rename sessionstore.js to sessionstore.old again, then copy it to a convenient location
(2) Start Firefox (it should be in a new session)
(3) Open the following link, select all (Ctrl+a), copy (Ctrl+c) to copy the script to the clipboard: http://dev.jeffersonscher.com/sessionstore_reader.txt
(4) Open the <s>Error Console</s> Browser Console (Ctrl+Shift+j), click next to <s>Code</s> the caret (>>) and paste, then press Enter <s>or click Evaluate</s>
(5) A file selection window should appear. Navigate to the convenient location and open sessionstore.old from there.
(6) As long as the file is not corrupted, a new tab should open with a list of all the URLs the script found in the file. You can save this page for future reference if desired. Also, you can close the <s>Error</s> Browser Console now.
