When I open firefox my screen fills up and I don't have the top part with the tool bar or tabs. How do I fix this. It does not do this with explorer

When I open firefox the whole screen fills with the firefox page but no tabs or toolbar at the top of the screen. It does not do this if I use Internet Explorer. I can google say, my email of facebook and I can get there but there is no way to get out of this page, no "red" X to close the sight.

* Firefox and other Browser Keyboard Shortcuts (Comparison Table)<br>http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/firefox/keyboard.htm
Not to be confused with Maximize/Restore button in upper right corner which leaves your toolbars intact.
Just noticed your mention of missing the red "X" (red background), are you also missing the vertical scrollbar on the right side.
* Resizing oversize window - MozillaZine Knowledge Base<br>http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resizing_oversize_window
If you are referring to not being able to close a tab, you will not see the "X" on a tab if it is the last tab, in fact you may not even see the tab bar, that depends on your options and on configuration options for how the close tab is to appear.
Check your '''[http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config_entries about:config]''' options

'''browser.abs.autoHide''' Boolean

:True (default): Hide the tab bar
:False: Always show the tab bar
:Note: In Firefox, this can be changed via "Tools → Options → Tabs → Always show the tab bar (Firefox 2 and above) or Tools → Options → Tabs → Hide the tab bar when only one web site is open (Firefox 1.5).
'''browser.tabs.closeButtons''' Integer (Firefox 2.0)
:This preference controls how close buttons can be displayed on tabs.
:0: Display a close button on the active tab only
:1: (default) Display a close button on each tab
:2: Don't display any close buttons
:3: Display a single close button at the end of the tab bar (Firefox 1.x behavior)

  • When I open Firefox my screen resolution changes and when I fix it on the computer it auto changes back in 10 seconds. I looked at the compatibility and nothing is checked. This started out of nowhere.

    I have used FF for about a year on my Dell Inspiron 15 and now every time I open it the resolution changes on me. If I close FF everything goes back to normal resolution. No problems with other browsers just FF. I went into the properties and tried to fix the compatibility but nothing was checked. I checked for any new updates that happened automatically but there haven't been any for days before this started. I have all my Grad school bookmarks on FF and I don't want to uninstall.

    This can be a problem with the localstore.rdf file.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf
    Use Restore or Maximize in the right-click context menu of the Taskbar icon to set focus to the Firefox application if you do not see the Firefox window.<br />
    Open the system menu of that Firefox window via Alt+Space and see if you can move and resize that window.
    If that works then close Firefox (File > Exit/Quit) to save that setting.

    After I upgraded to Mavericks I was also having this message when I tried to update. There was a previous post about this problem which offered this simple solution which worked for me:

    Got it! Thanx.  What I did was go to my account, check that they had my new ID and Password which they did, then hit reset button. All fixed.

  • I recently switched to Aperture. When I opened an image I imported from iPhoto, I don't have an option to edit it. Top of "Adjustments" tab says "image offline". How can I adjust Aperture so I can make adjustment to my iPhoto images?

    I recently switched to Aperture. When I opened an image I imported from iPhoto, I don't have an option to edit it. Top of "Adjustments" tab says "image offline". How can I adjust Aperture so I can make adjustment to my iPhoto images?

    I never tried importing from the iPhoto library as referenced images. I wonder if Aperture can access images stored in an iPhoto library package?  Even if it would work, it sounds like a bad thing to do.
    You might consider starting over and this time have Aperture manage the images.  That will copy them to the Aperture library, leaving the iPhoto library untouched. This assumes you have sufficient space to make a complete copy of all the images in your iPhoto library plus another copy of each image that Aperture makes as the preview image. You can then back up your iPhoto library (two backup copies, just to be sure) then remove it from your hard drive when you start getting too low on space.  As I write this I don't know where your iPhoto or Aperture libraries are/will be located so I'm assuming you have them on your HD.

  • I can not move the screen on Elements 11 on a MAC.  The top part of the application is cut off and I can't see the top row of photos.  I can attach a photo but I am not sure how to do that.   have OS 10.9

    See the attached photo.  I have a photo open but I cannot see the top part of the application.  It will not let me scroll up.  I cannot move the application.  When I click on F3 I can see the full screen and can see the photo but as soon as I click anywhere it goes back to the cup off screen.

    That's the organizer? Sorry, but the Grab menu is in front in your screenshot.
    If so, go to your username>library>Application Support>Adobe/>Elements Organizer/11.0>organizer and delete status.dat.
    BTW, just for future reference, you don't need to bother with Grab for general screenshots. Cmd+shift+3 captures the whole screen, cmd+shift+4 and drag to capture part of it. Here are some other shortcuts (article is for 10.8 but they're the same in 10.9)

  • When printing on photopaper with HP PSC 1510, the top part of the print does not print.

    When I try to print on photopaper with PSC 1510, it does not print the top part of the print - the paper seems to get feeded well. It looks like it somehow moves the printing area 10 cm higher on the document, so the pictures are cut in the middle and the top part is not printed. This varies - printing using the Windows image preview didn't cut off as much as Open Office's Writer.

    As long as your cartriges are full, put a photo on you desktop, highlight it , click COMMAND P and the print preferences window should drop down, and select your printer and photo paper.

  • I have an iPhone 5 and when i lightly tap on the back top part of my phone it sounds like something is rattling inside. Only on the top part of the phone, not on the bottom. I am wondering if anyone knows what this may be and should i have it looked at?

    Definitlely have it looked at. That could be a hardware deffect on the maker(apple) so there could be a definite replacement option.

  • Can I change the mustard colour of the top part of the firefox page?

    I've just installed Firefox 34.0 on a new windos 8.1. netbook. The top part of the firefox page - the part the tabs titles and the menu bar sit in - is a rather ugly mustard yellow - does anyone know how to change this colour? Thanks.

    Sorry about the sequence of this reply. Screenshot as requested - horrible isn't it!!
    Meanwhile it's solved thanks to Alan and Cor -el. Alan the problem existed from installation but I'll remove the banner thing just in case.
    Both of your various instructions did take me to 'themes' once I put my brain in gear and I've started to test different colour options..
    Many thanks to all
    I don't quite understand why Mozilla opted for mustard though!! Maybe this is only in windows 8.1, which I've been using for a few days now?

    You will have to contact the previous owner, only he/she can remove the phone from their account. You don't have any contact details for the person that you bought the phone from, email address, phone number, postal address ? If you can't contact them then you won't be able to reactivate and use the phone.

  • When I open Firefox a screen comes up that says register for "Inbox". I do not want to. I cannot deleate this and cannto figure out how to uninstall. Is it possible that I could speak with a live person that can help me.

    I would like to delete the "inbox" screen from coming up when I open Firefox. I might help if I could speak with a person.

    Hello BassoonPlayer,
    Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using.  FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in.  This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly.  By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you.  Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.

  • Have Firefox & Bing and when I open Firefox I get Ref A and string of characters; then when I get to Bing, no toolbar with bookmarks, etc or way to access mail.

    I made Bing my browser and it was working fine until today. When I open Firefox I get a message Ref A: and then a long string of characters. I click on the home icon and the string changes. After doing this several times I get the Bing search page. I do not get the Firefox start page with the tool bar that has my book marks, history etc. I cannot clear the cache if I cannot not get the history tab. If I go the the mozilla firefox program folder and open it, there is a tool bar but cannot clear recent history, etc. there. I do not have an administrator & password on my home desk top; it is just me. I tried to follow your suggestions, but they do not apply to my situation. I really don't know if this is a firefox or bing problem. I used google before bing and had no problems; just wanted to try bing.

    Can you attach a screenshot?

    Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.
