Want to show bookmarks by moving cursor to edge left screen, then full screen for viewing websites; no bookmarks, lost on reset.

Firefox was set up so when the cursor was moved to the extreme left of the screen, the bookmarks list was viewed and when the cursor was elsewhere on the screen the bookmarks list was hidden and one would see the whole screen. It was very handy ....this setup was lost when I did a reset of Firefox two days ago. Would like to get that back to the way it was, and haven't had any luck so far....hoping you can help me. I have Windows XP .
Thanks so much.

I think this probably was a feature of an add-on (specifically, an extension).
The "Old Firefox Data" folder that the Reset feature creates on your desktop would contain your old extensions. However, there isn't a convenient list with recognizable names; most will be named with a long unique ID code. It might be easier to run some searches on [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ the Add-ons site] than to look up all of those codes...

How do I stop the menu from showing up when I hover to the top of a full screen app?

I am running Parallels in full-screen on Lion and when I move the cursor towards the top of the full screen app the menu pops up. How do I stop the menu from popping up? I keep hitting an icon on the menu bar that pulls it out of full screen mode and it's getting very annoying. Thanks.

Use VMware Fusion? But seriously, Fusion does what you want. It just puts a mini VM control menu at the top when running full screen (and that's configurable, too), so the main menu bar doesn't appear at all. Which means that it's up to Parallels to handle this. Are you running Parallels 7, which is designed for Lion? If you are and Parallels still doesn't offer something similar, you need to contact Parallels.

I want to copy images from my Photoshop Elements to I Photo then upload them to my website.

I want to copy or transfer images from my Elements10 to IPhoto, then upload them to my website on Smugmug.

You can probably upload directly from your photo file as well....I have a site at smugmug as well and that's how I used to do it all the time

When I click the View option to view a document on my insurance website, I only get a blank screen with words Mozilla Firefox, and below it, "Search Bookmarks and History" in the upper left corner of the screen.

This also happened at a bookseller's website, when I clicked on the photo of a book to enlarge it. Instead of showing me an enlargement, it took me to the same blank screen with the title bar, "Mozilla Firefox", and below it another bar with the words "Search Bookmarks and History," both at the top left of the screen. This has happened repeatedly at the two websites I have mentioned. When I went to the same sites using Internet Explorer, the error didn't occur. I did a Microsoft system restore for a previous restore point, but it still did not eliminate this glitch.

Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.

I have a new bookmark window that takes up the left side of the screen. How do I turn it off? Thanks!!

The header says Bookmarks and under that is a search box then expandable items that include Bookmarks Toolbar, Bookmarks Menu, and Unsorted Bookmarks. I want to turn it off because it takes up too much screen real estate when I am browsing.
I am running Windows Vista 32-bit and Firebox 4.0.1

'''{ Ctrl + B }''' opens and close the Bookmarks Sidebar.

A bookmarks list has appeared on the left side of my screen and I can't get rid of it. Tried restore and even uninstalled & reinstalled Firefox 4.

I don't know what I can add. The bookmarks list is on the left side of the screen and crowds everything else to the right so that I can't read it. I've tried everything I can think of to move it or get rid of it.

Please click the '''Solved It''' button next to the answer that solved your Firefox support issue, '''''it appears when you are logged in''''', so this thread gets marked as '''Solved''' to help other users who may have this same problem.

How do you get the bookmarks list permanently displayed on the left side of the screen?

I somehow managed to get the bookmarks permanently open and displayed in a vertical column on the left side of the screen. I accidentally closed it and cannot get it to display again. How do you manage to get the bookmark list permanently open and displayed again? Thank you.

Hello exoticdoc2, see if the next [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/all-in-one-sidebar/ All-in-One Sidebar add-on] it is useful for you, it is more than a sidebar bookmarks toolbar.
thank you

My cursor does not disappear when watching full screen movies

I have a rMBP running Mountain Lion, everything is up to date. Like I said when watching full screen videos my cursor arrow does not dissapear. I am new to OSX so is this normal or do I have my settings set up wrong. Its not a huge deal, just getting more annoyed with each video, thanks for your help.

I have the same problem, but in addition, if the cursor doesn't disappear completely the video control menus stay glued to the bottom of the full screen. I may have to switch back to my pc to watch.....

Since FF31 bookmarks toolbar doesn't always show on startup. Corrected per session by disable (then re-enable) via View- Toolbars- Bookmarks Toolbar

The above problem only occurs occasionally on startup. Bookmarks Toolbar reappears after disable/re-enabling (as outlined in question) but its occasional absence is annoying.
Thanks for all of the hard work you do at Mozilla, it's greatly appreciated!

You can check for problems caused by a corrupted localstore.rdf file.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf
The current Firefox releases store the toolbar customization in the browser.uiCustomization.state pref, so it is possible that there is a problem with the preferences.
You can check for problems with preferences.
Delete possible user.js and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_preferences
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
Note that Windows hides some file extensions by default.
Among them are .html and .ini and .js and .txt, so you may only see file name without file extension.
You can see the real file type (file extension) in the properties of the file via the right-click context menu in Windows Explorer.

I just added a new computer and it did not download my bookmarks correctly. Folders were not created and no links except for the a"Unsorted Bookmarks" that seems to show most of my bookmarks.

I was able to add the new computer's browser with my sync key, but when I tried to sync, nothing appeared to happen. Unsorted Bookmarks shows a lot of links that are mine, but not all of them. Hard to tell, Unsorted Bookmarks is useless and I wish I could hide or get rid of it.

In case anyone else has this problem. I just went to the computer that has my complete set of bookmarks. Selected Options-Sync-Manage Account-Reset Sync-Replace all other devices with this computer's data and it worked. All bookmarks are now present on my newest machine.

Iphoto 6 toolbar stopped appearing in full screen (mouse moved to bottom)

I have iPhoto 6.6 on an iMac core duo running osx 10.4.11. While it formerly worked correctly, now the toolbar no longer appears when the cursor is moved to the bottom of the screen in full screen edit mode.
I have determined the following:
The problem exists only in my main account (and only recently appeared) but works correctly in other accounts. In my main account I have tried the following, singly and in combinations:
Create a new iPhoto library, remove the iPhoto preferences file, login with the shift key down to disable login items, removed the /Library/Contextual menu items folder. None of these corrected the problem. In full screen edit mode, menu item View->Show Toolbar does show the toolbar. However, when the toolbar is hidden, it still does not automatically show when the cursor is moved to the bottom of the screen. Switching to other screen sizes does not correct the problem. The menu at the top of the screen does automatically appear when the cursor is moved to the top of the screen.
The term "main account" refers to an account in which I do my routine work. It does not have administrator privileges. I have other accounts on this system, including one just for admin.
Since the toolbar automatically appears in other accounts, I assume that some data in my account has been corrupted. It appears not to be the iphoto library or preferences file since I have replaced these, or any startup item since I have disabled these.
What else in my account could cause iPhoto to not correctly determine when the cursor is at the bottom of the screen? Or to otherwise cause this problem?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
ince the toolbar automatically appears in other accounts, I assume that some data in my account has been corrupted.
It could be a preference file other than iPhoto's that's interfering with iPhoto. This will tell you if that's the case:
Trouble Shooting Preferences
Go to HD/Users/Your_name/Library. Move the Preferences folder (in its entirety) to the Desktop and make a second copy of it so you have Copy A and B. Now try the the process again and determine if problem is fixed.
If the problem IS fixed, then go to the new Prefs folder that the OS will have created and open it up.
Open Copy B on the Desktop and select all of the items inside. Drag them into the open new library folder. When the Copy window comes up check the Apply to All check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here. That will keep the new files created and bring back all of the others.
If the problem is NOT fixed, trash the new Prefs folder and move the intact Copy A folder back to the Library folder .
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

My bookmarks bar and toolbar do not drop down when Safari is in full-screen mode.

I just updated to Safari 5.1.5 this morning as well as OS 10.7.3 and when in full-screen mode, the bookmarks bar as well as the toolbar will not drop down. Once I escape then I can see them fine. I'm also having issues with dragging or dropping ANYTHING. A gost image of what I am trying to move shows, and will not go away unless I force quit Mail or Safari. Needless to say, what I ws attempting to drag and drop does not take effect.

Hi..
I just updated to Safari 5.1.5 this morning as well as OS 10.7.3 and when in full-screen mode, the bookmarks bar as well as the toolbar will not drop down.
Click the title bar one time. The gray area of the window at the very top of your screen in full screen mode.
Not sure what you mean by, "anything", when dragging and dropping. Right or control click the content. There may be an option for saving that data for you from the menu.

How to show up "Photo Tour Bar" in full screen mode under Aperture 2?

HELLO,
Mine is a MBA with Aperture 2.
I am unable to show up the photo tour bar in full screen mode>
What should I do to get the photo tour bar on the top of my full screen mode?
Camera Canon 40D.

Hi 153957,
Thanks for the response.
I could see the film strip on the bottom ok in Browser plus viewer mode.
When I go to viewer screen the full screen mode and I could not see the Photo tool bar-sorry I spelt it "Tour" in my question.
Now I realised that the Photo Tool bar only appear when I move the cursor to the top of the screen.
However in full screen mode I am unable to bring my inspector! Is that possible?

Video size during full screen show up as half the size

I was watching a south park episode and wanted to close it. The option to get out of full screen wasn't working so I right clicked the screen which brought up a menu. Choices were Half screen through full screen and i clicked half screen. Now whenever I try to full screen it always shows up with a really small screen and i cannot change it.
I have gone through all the options and nothing lets you control the size of the full screen so i am guessing this is a bug. Any help would be great

Just press CTRL + 3 while in Fullscreen "mode" to enable the video size to "Fit To Screen".
You probably pressed CTRL + 0 at some point, reducing the video size to half size while in fullscreen mode.
Cheers!

Elements 11 organizer shows correct wb in thumbnails but when increased to full screen or in slide show changes white balance to tungsten

Elements 11 organizer shows correct white balance in thumbnails but when increased to full screen or in slide show changes white balance to tungsten. Photos where shot in raw and in auto or flash white balance. any suggestions out there?

Figured it out, if the raw default setting has the wb on 3000 (or tungsten) the slide show uses adobe raw to convert so they all showed blue LOL
