Top tool bar and workspace not responding to pointer

As I try to use some of the features on the top tool bar, the curser (pointer) is not activating some of the features. Ex. As I hover over an arrow up and down... sometimes it highlights and is usable, and sometimes it does not activate. sometimes it fades in and out like it is close but no cigar. Same when I go to pages on the left. If I try to double click on a page to go to it, it will not work. Also in the layers pallet, the add layer button does not work and sometimes double clicking on the layer name will not bring up the change name function.

This problem I am having with INdesign cs3 is with all documents. I am going through the Total training videos and I have to stop all the time in order to work around the simple way of doing what they are asking. Its like the program is not interfacing with the mouse correctly. On some parts of the tool bar hitting one thing will actually initiate another maybe to the left of the one that I want to do. Driving me crazy. I tried reinstalling the program from scratch and it continues to do the exact same thing.

Firefox immediately upon starting firefox it minimizes itself to the tool bar and will not maximize

Locking duplicate thread. Please continue here: [[/questions/1038747]]
When starting Firefox either from the program menu or the toolbar, firefox loads in the minimized location on the tool bar. Firefox appears to correctly load the web site but I have not been able to maximize firefox. How do I get firefox to maximize?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
:[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

When I click to open firefox it just goes to the tool bar and does not open the page

about 2 weeks ago firefox stopped working;- i click to open and it does not open as a page it just sits in the toolbar on the left side

See:

Links now connect with a version of Firefox showing 2 top red bars, and does not load web pages correctly.

When links are shown to a web page on a document a different version of Firefox appears that has a double line of red rows at the top, and the desired page doesn`t load. To get the required page I need to highlight the link and paste it into my usual search page.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions 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
In Firefox 4 and later [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode Safe mode] disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

When I updated/upgraded last it took away my Big Fish Games tool bar and WILL NOT reload it no matter what I do. How can I undo the last upgrade/date?

My original question says it all. I cannot get my Big Fish Games toolbar to reload. It will with internet explorer but not with your product's new upgrade. I wish to undo the upgrade to the earlier version so I can get my toolbar back.

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox
You should avoid using the same Firefox profile with different Firefox versions. 
If you currently do then 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.

My dock and top tool bar are both overlapping how do i return them to normal?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

How to get bookmarks and top tool-bar back after the Mozilla Refresh operation.

I did the Mozilla Refresh, the recommendation for which popped up today on my browser. It promised that I would get my bookmarks back - but they AND the top Toolbar are now gone. Tried Mozilla Help but can't see any detailed help on restoring the bookmarks and the top of the window browser tool-bar. (found notes on restoring bookmarks, but without the tool-bar they are not accessible). Need to get those back.

Also check that "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
Open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.
*"3-bar" Firefox menu button > Customize
*if "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the Customize palette into the Customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
*if missing items are in the Customize palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the Customize palette then click the Restore Defaults button to restore the default toolbar setup
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/customize-firefox-controls-buttons-and-toolbars
You can toggle the title bar on/off via the "Title Bar" button at the bottom left in the Customize palette window.
You can have the Menu Bar visible via the right-click context menu of a toolbar to have menus like the File menu with Print (Ctrl+P) and Print Preview and the Bookmarks and History and Tools menus.

Downloaded iobit tool Bar and it locks up firfox can not do anything

I down loaded iobit tool bar and it made it through. but now whne I open Firefox, everything stops. I then uninstalled firefox, rebooted and the same thing happens. Also had to use a revo to uninstall firefox. At this point I can not use Mozilla. My only option is to use Internet explorer

Yeah I'm seeing this as well. A force quit and relaunch seems to solve the problem for a while.
IMHO the app has just gone downhill in the last few years. Useful tools like browser history from the back button are hidden / rendered useless (click and hold doesn't work so well from a track pad), and it's performance just isn't what it used to be.

Carbon X120A7 not rebooting -hissing sound and blinking tool bar and keys

I have a one month old Carbox X1 that has suddenly working. It starts and gives a message of error and the screen goes blank leaving the tool bar and keyboard blinking with a hissing sound. What is going on?? I have an urgent project due I need it to work. Please help

Might not make any difference but would clicking this help if it isn't?
Also, I wonder if it is Pandora or other 3rd party apps that are interfering or taking over.

HT3964 My tool bar and icons do not appear when I turn on my desktop iMac what can I do about it?

My tool bar and icons do not appear when my desktop boots up. Just wallpaper. Any ideas?

Does everything appear if you just click anywhere on the Desktop? This happens at random to me and it's a known bug (at least in 10.6.)

My Thunderbird page is screwed up - there is no address book appearing in the tool bar and i do not see a "write: tab - just message - how can I restore

My Thunderbird page is screwed up - there is no address book appearing in the tool bar and i do not see a "write" tab - just "message" how can I restore back to normal?
Would so much appreciate help... frustrating.

Sounds like you are missing the Mail Toolbar.
Do you have a Menu Bar with File-Edit-View etc?
If not press the alt key to make it appear.
From the Menu Bar select View-Toolbars and turn the missing toolbars back on.
Write and Address Book are on the Mail Toolbar.
FYI: The alt key or F10 will make a missing toolbar appear in most applications.

Click "unregister"

Firefox 4.0b10 will randomly lock up and say (Not Responding) in the title bar, and sometimes takes 1min to become usable again.

Most of the time when I launch Firefox 4.0b10 it will hang for 30sec-1min before loading. It will show a white page and say (Not Responding) in the title bar.
It also does this when opening a new tab, clicking any link, and sometimes scrolling down a page.

My McCaffee was a trial thing, I think. I clicked on it to see if it was updated, and it said it was expired. So I'm just going to uninstall it completely and install AdAware, which is all I've ever used for years and never had a problem.
It occurs to me -- this must (?) have something to do with my new computer... it was slow right out of the box, and I called ASUS tech support the second day I had the puter up and running, and the tech asked me to do a System File Check (SFC), but discovered that the normal pathways through which one would do a SFC (according to him) did not work - the machine would not either recognize them or it would simply swallow the command and then just do nothing... he put me on hold for a few minutes. He came back with a workaround (don't remember it exactly, but it involved a DOS prompt), and I was able to finally run a SFC, which revealed "corrupted files" that had to be "repaired."
In a brand new computer? That can't be a good thing... Maybe the system software factory install was just a bad install? Because I had some slow Firefox issues on my old machine (Acer, dual core, 4gRAM, 2009 machine), but NOTHING like this. This is getting very frustrating. I'm used to just sitting down to my computer and using it, not sitting down and fighting with it for 2 or 3 minutes or more before i can do anything.

I can't get my tool bar to get the return arrow or the forward arrow so i can browse. i have to quit the browser and start all over again everytime i go to another site and want to return. not on tool bar and get it on.
