Where did my Firefox button go? Tried turning off the menu bar but did not help. Win 7, FF 29

Also curious how such things change on my computer without my nod. I realize there are necessary background changes and other changes that my occur to operating systems and apps, but from time to my features are changed with no explanation and no apparent advantage to the person initiating the change (and without my knowledge let alone my consent).

yes, firefox will automatically update regularly - though you could disable that in the [[Advanced settings for accessibility, browsing, system defaults, network, updates, and encryption]], i would strongly discourage you from doing so since updates generally also contain [https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html critical security fixes] & the integrity of your system and your personal data on it would be at risk otherwise.

When I turn off my ipod and put it away, generally in my cargo pants pocket, it turns on again, draining the battery...HOW DO I SHUT IT OFF? I tried turning off the power completely, but it reboots

Is it possible to turn off the menu bar on secondary display?

I have upgraded to Mavericks on an iMac used exclusively for presentations (not mirrored) and now the menu bar shows up dimmed on the presentation screen if there is not a presentation currently playing. I have not found any setting for turning off for that display. Can it be done? If not Apple please add this option ASAP because it looks very unprofessional to have the menu bar pop-up on the presentation display in between presentations.
Has anyone found a solution to this problem?
-Michael Wheeler

It worked but needed some further finessing to perfect.
After unchecking "Displays have separate Spaces" and logging out and back in the menu bar was gone but however now it showed the same desktop picture as was on the primary display. That was highly undesireable as I was trying to get rid of anything being shown on the projection screen when a slide show was not playing.
I played around with the "Desktop & Screen Saver" preference pane and discovered that I could still change the Desktop pictures of each display separately -- whew! I was worried there for a while. Not sure why it didn't just keep the original solid black desktop setting for that display as that would have been ideal but I was able to change it back to the solid black setting as before and now it just looks like the projection screen is off whenever a slide show is not playing -- perfect!
Let me just say to Apple that the whole process was very unintuitive and couldn've been solved with just a simple checkbox in the "Displays" preference pane to turn off the menu bar for the alternate display. So may I kindly suggest you consider adding some sort of option to do that in the Displays preference pane where it would be much more intiuitive than "Mission Control --> Uncheck Deisplays have separate Spaces."
Thanks again for you help!

I tried to establish the Menu Bar in Firefox 4, but the process did not work. I had to reinstall Firefox 3. Why?

I installed Firefox 4 on my Vista based PC, and there was not Menu Bar nor was there a Status Bar. I followed the instructions in the help article, but I couldn't get either tool bar to appear. The main problem was I did not get the temporary Menu Bar when I pressed the Alt key and released it. Since I use the Menu Bar all the time, I ended up reinstalling Firefox 3. From what I saw of Firefox 4 it seems to be a good upgrade, but I need my tool bars. Is there some other way to get the Menu bar without using the Alt key?

The Firefox Button in the upper left has replaced the Menu Bar but you can, optionally use the Menu Bar; instructions below
The Status Bar has been replaced by the Add-on Bar in Firefox 4, by can get some of the functionality by installing an Add-on; see below.
 
 
You can turn the Menu Bar on/Firefox Button off in Firefox 4. You have the Menu Bar on.
To '''''toggle''''' the Menu Bar on/off (Firefox Button off/on), do one of the following to check/un-check (on/off) Menu Bar:
*HOLD the ALT key while pressing the letters VTM on your keyboard
*Using the Menu Bar: click View > Toolbars, click Menu Bar
*Using the Firefox Button: click Firefox Button > Options, click Menu Bar
 
 
'''The Status Bar has been eliminated and replaced by the Add-on Bar'''. You can restore some of the prior Status Bar functionality on the new Add-on Bar by
*installing the Status-4-Evar extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/
*Be sure the Add-on bar is diplayed at the bottom of the Firefox 4 window
**Ctrl+/ toggles the Add-on Bar displayed or not displayed
**Firefox button > Options '''''OR''''', if you are optionally using the Menu Bar instead of the Firefox button, View > Toolbars '''''OR''''' right-click in a blank space on a toolbar::
***if no check mark next to Add-on Bar, click Add-on bar to place a check mark.
***If Add-on bar has a check mark, it is already displayed
*then drag 3 widgets to the Add-on Bar from the Customize Toolbar window (the 3 widgets are: Status Text, Progress Meter, Download Status). To open the Customize Toolbar window
**Using Menu Bar: click View > Toolbars > Customize
**Using Firefox button: click Firefox button, click small arrow to the right of Options, click Toolbar Layout
**Note: Instead of either of the above, you can do as in the past, right-click an empty space in the Navigation toolbar and choose Customize
*set options for Status-4-Evar:
**Menu Bar: Tools > Add-ons, click on Status4Ever, click Options, set options to your liking
**Firefox button: click Firefox button, click Add-ons, scroll down to Status-4-Evar, click Options, set options to your liking

I have tried manually removing itunes and reinstalling. i have gone through the sevices anf tried turning on the AMDS. i have tried turning off the firewall. i have tried restoring my device. i have tried "fixing" the AMDS in the add/remove programs. I have tried using a different device. i have tried using a different cable. I have tried all of the steps given in the link supplied by Apple. None of these things have fixed my problem. I still have the Error Message "The Apple Mobile Device Service started then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do, for example, the Performance Logs or Alerts service. I am using Windows XP. I am leaning towards a last resort which would be to wipe my hard drive and start from scratch. Does anyone have a solution?

Not with your current user id.
Far too much uneccesary information in your post, which only confuses things, a vast amount!
Let's start with iTunes.
Have you updated iTunes to 11.1.5, because the previous version did appear to have an issue about seeing iPods?
With iTunes 11.1.5 installed, look in Edit/Preferences/Devices, (or use the ALT key, followed by the E key and then the F key) and make sure that the box named Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically does not have a tick in the box.
Once you have doen those two things, check to see if the iPod is seen by iTunes.

Really?
OS stands for Operating System. (In computer speak, IO means Input/Output.)
iOS originally stood for iPhone Operating System, but it now refers to the iPod Touch and iPhone. The iPod Classic, which you have listed in your profile as your iPod, does not use iOS.
I assume that you have been listening to the Podcast in your iTunes on the computer as you cannot transfer it to your iPod. It's what I'd do.

Also try a Reset.

You can't. It's now integrated with the URL bar. It's a search/URL combo.

Turning off automatic backup doesn't delete anything from your account, it only stops it from continuing to back up to iCloud. If you want to reduce your iCloud storage, this article provides some suggestions: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4847.

No, Detect Displays had no effect. However, I made the USB connection from the ACD to the iMac after the system was on. Following a re-start, all controls are available. Thank you for your response.

I have been using 3 devices with my wireless network, and suddenly none of them work. I've tried turning off the modem and router but that hasn't fixed the problem.

I've been using iPhone, iPad and MacBook with my wireless network, and suddenly, none of them will connect. The first sign I had that there ws a problem was when I was asked multiple times to re-enter the password, but regardless of how many times I did so it wasn't successful. I've tried turning off and on the moden and router but that doesn't help. Suggestions please?

go into the routers setup and redo the setup like it have disabled the whole wifi system
how you set it up depend on the router you own consult the manual or go to the router maker's website
