When i installed firefox on windows my page does not look like the set up in the help support set up section

when installed the page doesnt look like one that helps you in setup support - i dont have orange firefox tab upper left nothing is the same and very irritating trying to follow your suggestions nothing works

Also make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Command+Shift+F).
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-to-use-full-screen
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible.
*Firefox menu button > Options
*View > Toolbars (press F10 to display the hidden Menu bar)
*Right-click empty toolbar area
Use Toolbar Layout (Customize) to open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.
*check that "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
*if "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette into the Customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
*if missing items are in the toolbar 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 toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar setup

  • My interface -- buttons (back, forward, reload), firefox tab, groups, etc. -- does not look like the sample on your "firefox features" page. ("Groups" seems not to function at all.) I'm running the current firefox 4 download on Windows XP. Can you help?

    Thank you for your swift reply. I don't know that this has helped me, as I've reached my level of tolerance for fooling with this annoying little problem - for today anyway. It has been going on since I "up" graded to Firefox 4. My wife is running 3.6.x on her laptop with none of this foolishness. As BLASPHEMOUS as it may sound, I've gone back to IE for the time being even though I don't like it 1000th as much as I do Firefox.
    Not just to rant here, I would say that I found a way to put some buttons on the right side of the toolbar that immediately gave me permission to "back, forward, and reload", but upon closing the browser and going out for dinner with the wife, I find on return that not only are those buttons NOT still on the toolbar, but I can't find them anymore. I think they were in "add-ons" found under I believe Add-On Manager.
    I did also manage to achieve back/forward functionality running Firefox in SAFE mode, but this meant no No-Script, among other things, and I've grown too fond of that particular little script to give it up.
    I've rebooted, restored, and reinstalled, can't get this formerly completely reliable program to work like it always has. Before looking around on here, I was beginning to think it was my PC.
    THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP, cor-el. I'm going to see if I can get on live chat on Monday.

  • My Firefox screen at the top does not look like what you show at your help site, so I can't customize or learn how to do things

    I am running Windows 7 Professional and am not adept at using the Windows platform. Firefox on my computer does not look the way it is shown at specific "Help" topic pages, so I can't get the help needed. Three examples: 1. How to click on a link so it opens in a new tab; 2. How to customize the options; 3. How to get rid of the "Ask" web site window.

    On Windows, you can switch between a classic menu bar and a compact menu opened with an orange button with the word Firefox.
    You can switch between these using one of these methods:
    * right-click a blank area of the tab bar and turn Menu Bar on or off
    * View menu > Toolbars > Menu Bar
    * orange Firefox button > Options triangle > Menu Bar
    Does that help?
    To get to the tab preferences, you can do this:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Tabs
    To remove the Ask toolbar, you can go here:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
    You might still have to do a little cleanup after removing an extension, if it changed your home page, new tab page, search provider, etc. Please describe any remaining problems in more detail.
    Hope this helps.

  • My Firefox page does not look like yours...I do not hava a fox in the corner to click on,,,,the whole page looks different why?

    I am trying to delete history and it says that I should click on the fox in the upper left corner? I have no fox and also, the whole page seems different than the one you show...why?

    WinXP versions of Firefox don't have the Firefox button like with Windows Vista and WIn7, because with XP the default is to show the Menu Bar. The Firefox button appears when the Menu Bar is not being shown.
    Right-click a blank spot on the Menu Bar ''(to the right of Help)'', and de-select Menu Bar by clicking on that contextual menu item.

  • Just started using firefox seriously. my user interface does not look like the one in the 'tour'. please help

    i downloaded firefox a long time ago but havent used it extensively because i liked chrome. but recently chrome is just too difficult and if there is an issue i cant speak to anyone. so i am trying firefox. i went to take the user interface tour and there is suppose to be a button on the right hand side to help with bookmarks but my 'version' doesnt have that. was wondering how i get that and if i may have the wrong version.
    also....i cant seem to find where to turn autofill on and right now its not working except with the occasional email address.
    and one more thing....all streaming videos...tv, utube, art instruction..trailers...all get chunked up. nothing ever runs smoothly. and i am paying to get good download speed.
    i would appreciate any help on these three issues.
    thank you

    About the bookmark button:

    About versions of Firefox:
    *[http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ Last Firefox Version]
    About the videos:
    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    *Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    *In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
    *In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    *Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    * [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    * [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

  • JSP error page does not displayed on its own, includes in the original JSP

    Problem Description: - Exceptions in a Condition cause pages to fail to render.
    The actual issue is, the JSP error page does not displayed on its own, included in the original JSP Page when exception occurs.
    Problem Cause: As per the JSP specification when jsp content reached the buffer size (default 8KB) the page being flushed (Part of condent displays). The default �autoFlush� value is true.
    When the page buffer value is default size (8KB), and if any exception occurs after flushing the part of the content, instead of redirecting into error page, the error page content included in the original page.
    If i specify autoFlush="false" and with default buffer size, at the runtime if the buffer size is reached, i am getting stackoverflow error.
    To solve the above problem we can make it autoFlush=�false� and buffer=�100KB�. But we can�t predict the actual size of the page.
    I found in one of the weblogic forum as no solution for this issue. Ref.
    http://support.bea.com/application?namespace=askbea&origin=ask_bea_answer.jsp&event=link.view_answer_page_clfydoc&answerpage=solution&page=wls/S-10309.htm
    Please provide me any solution to resolve the problem.

    Error-Page tags work best with an error.html pages. If you have an error.jsp page what I would do, and I have, is wrap my classes and jsp pages in a try catch block where you forward to the error jsp page and display anything you want. YOu can also do this with if else statements. I have used the tomcat error pages before but when I've implemented them I used java.lang.Exception as the error to catch not Throwable. I don't know if this would make a difference or have anything to do with your problem.

  • When someone calls me on Viber, WhatsApp and elsewhere do not appear on my iphone, and when you enjoy my photos on instagram also does not appear to do I do, take the technical assistance?

    when someone calls me on Viber, WhatsApp and elsewhere do not appear on my iphone, and when you enjoy my photos on instagram also does not appear to do I do, take the technical assistance?

    What iPhone do you have? You can check in settings>>general>> about.
    If you have a 3G you cannot update beyond iOS 4.2.1. The 3G is over 4 years old an was discontinued over 2 1/2 years ago. You need the latest ios to run the latest versions of some apps. If you have a 3GS you can update.
    If your phone is not responding, reset it by pressing and holding down both the home button ad lock/ sleep button simultaneously until the Apple logo appears.

  • My Firefox does not look like the Firefox shown in your tutorials

    Going through the tutorials and help sections, the Firefox page shown does not match the one that I have. There is no Firefox button, the menu below the Mozilla logo is the "File Edit View...." menu. So the directions I am getting from the tutorials and Help sections can't be followed.
    I just downloaded Firefox, installed it, and checked for updates, which Firefox found and installed. I am now at 19.0.2
    I am running Windows 7 on a Lenovo Thinkpad. WIndows just updated.
    Am I running the latest version of Firefox? Why doesn't my version look like the help pages?

    hello, you can go to the ''view ''menu > ''toolbars'' & un-check the menu-bar - then you should get the default look.

  • Why is it that I downloaded Firefox 4.0 but I do not have the orange firefox box in the upper left hand corner of screen. My screen still looks like the old verison of firefox. My screen does not look like the one in the video. looks nothing like the one

    My Firefox 4.0 does not look anything like the videos you show about the features of the new Firefox. My screen looks totally different than yours. It does not have the orange box in the upper left hand corner of the screen. My screen still looks like the old version. I have the logo on the top of my screen with Ask a Question a vertical line Firefox Help - Mozilla Firefox.
    Under this line I have File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. Below this line is a tab with Ask a Question Firefox Help and a +. My husbands screen looks identical to the orange Firefox Box in the upper left of screen. I would like my screen to look identical to the ones shown in your videos. I only have one version of Firefox 4.0 my husband does have the Firefox 4.0 plus the Beta version. How do I add the Beta version? I have Windows Vista running systems. Please help. Thank you

  • I can't get firefox to remember my passwords and open the site automacially, It did it at first when I installed firefox but now it won't and I have remember passwords checked in the tool

    I just reinstalled firefox on my computer and the password feature to remember then worked for all my sites for a couple days and now firefox does not remember my username or password and I have remember password checked in the tool section. What can I do to correct this. Does it have anything to do with me having the setting to not remember any history?

    Did you look at this? Should be helpful :)

  • I keep getting a notice on opening Firefox for the first time saying I need to update and when I click on it the thing keeps saying it is connecting. It does not look like a real Firefox request so I've been closing it.

    Every morning when I turn on my computer and start Firefox I get a notice that I need to update Firefox. When I click to do so it just keeps running saying "Connecting".
    I do have a Print Screen of it and would send it if you want.

    If you have problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
    You may need to remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean install of the new version.
    Do a clean (re-)install:
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • After installing Firefox 8, my Roboform programme does not work. It worked in Firefox 7. What's happened?

    I have used Roboform for many years and it was always compatible until I think Firefox 6 when it was disabled. Since then Roboform have created a new app called RoboEverywhere which they said would work on Firefox and after installing the app, to my delight, the toolbar appeared. However, I installed Firefox 8.1 this morning and there is no Roboform toolbar. Why, after working in Firefox 7, would it not be working in 8.1?
    Thank you for any help and tips you may have.
    Lynne C

    Roboform was causing Firefox 8 to crash on startup. You will have to download and install the latest version of Roboform (7.6.2 or newer) from http://www.roboform.com/download

  • How can I install Firefox on a server that does not have an internet connection?

    I run Firefox on a server to display graphs for a program. I was able to save, upload and install Firefox version 21 on my server because it used the executable installation program. Versions 22 and 23 use a stub program that goes to the internet and installs the program. My server does not have an internet connection, so the stub program does not work. Can I get a copy of the executable program that installs the program without having an internet connection?

    hello pkautzman, the full install packets that are capable of an offline installation are available at https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/.
