Where is the Firefox window with the Firefox button?

I can't find the Firefox window that has the Firefox button so I can click on troubleshooting information
button so I can reset Firefox. Please help?

what kind of problems do you have that you want to reset Firefox?
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
If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.
Click the Maximize button (top right corner of the Navigation Toolbar) to leave full screen mode or right-click empty space on a toolbar and choose "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press the F11 key.
You can check for problems caused by a corrupted localstore.rdf file.

  • When I click on an Icon on my desktop to take me to a site (such as google) I get a message that it could not find the loaction. Then it goes ahead and opens a Firefox window with the site anyway as if the message never happened.

    When I click on an Icon on my desktop to take me to a site (such as Google) I get a message that it could not find the location. Then it goes ahead and opens a Firefox window with the site anyway as if the message never happened. Then when I close the window I see that the message is still there. I have to close it separately. Any suggestions? Oh, and this only happens if Firefox is NOT already active. If I have another Firefox window open when I click on the Icon, it just opens as expected. This message appears no matter which site Icon I select. It did not happen before I upgraded to ver 9.0.

    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.

  • Mac keeps rebooting when it reaches the grey window with the apple

    Hello,
    My Mac G5 keeps rebooting, it cannot reach the desktop.
    Yesturday, I changed the read write options on the macintosh hd (I put everyone on read write so others on the network could get access to all the files, I pressed on the wheel on the botton and "replicated" to all files in the hd).
    When I restarted the system, it hasn't booted to the desktop since.
    Is this what caused the problem???
    How can I fix this?
    I tried the utility from the install dvd to repair the rights, but it does not work, if I scan again, I get a very long list containing mainly files from the library folder.
    Thanks

    doing this completely killed your system. you now have no choice but to do an archive and install.

    you should NEVER use "apply to enclosed items" button on ANY system created folders or on the startup drive. that includes btw such things as your Desktop folder, your home folder etc.
    and you shouldn't even try having your whole drive read+write by everybody. that's very bad from security point of view and other users have no business having read+write access to your entire system. make a folder shared and give them read+write access to that.

  • Where are the windows with the folder pictures ?

    I suddenly realized that I'm no longer seeing the window at the top of the bookmarks window with the various folder pictures that changed as you clicked on a book mark within a folder. (I'm not even sure I'm asking this question right?) I recently downloaded OS 10.5.8. I was running 10.5.6. Did I lose something or did something change. Do I need to reset something ?
    Thanks.. Carolyn

    I havea discovered the name of what I seem to have lost. "Cover Flow". I did a google search and found that your mac has to supoort Quartz Extreme, and mine does. Obviously it did or I wouldn't have had Cover Flow previously. So what happened ?
    I'm really trying to figure this out myself, but I think I'm at the end of my knowledge here.

  • Link in emails to open the link in new tab, not a new firefox window with home page,

    Link in emails open a new Firefox window with my default home page. How do I get Firefox to open the linked web page, in an new tab, as it used to do??
    This is for Win XP, FF 17.0.1, using Outlook as mail client.

    Do you mean the results from a search via the Google search bar on the Navigation toolbar or the Firefox Google home page (www.google.com/firefox) ?
    For the Google website you can set your preferences on the Google.com page via the [http://www.google.com/preferences?hl=en Google Search settings] link at the top right.
    Results Window: Open search results in a new browser window.
    You need to allow cookies for Google (Tools > Page Info > Permissions) to save that setting, otherwise you have to repeat it.
    For the Google search bar on the Navigation toolbar you can set the pref browser.search.openintab to true on the about:config page.
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />

  • My tabs are seperated into groups. Once I accidentaly opened a site in a new window (not a new tab). After that, I accidentaly closed the Firefox window with all my grouped tabs. Now, I can't recover it. Are there any solutions?

    I have my tabs seperated into several groups (for example, bank tabs, music tabs, social life tabs and so on). I do this with the help of the button in the top left corner. While I was surfing the internet, I accidentaly opened a site not in a new tab (as I usually do), but in a new window. The new window was without all the grouped tabs, which I had in the previous Firefox window. And then I accidentaly closed the Firefox window with all my grouped tabs. Now I can't recover it. Are there any solutions?

  • Hi. I somehow deleted my firefox search window with the little magnifying glass. Can you help me get it back?

    Luckily I have google saved in the bookmarks menu because this is the only method I have of searching the web.

    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
    * If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
    * If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it 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 set up.

  • How to restore Firefox windows after the restore has already been done?

    System:
    Firefox 3.6.16
    Windows Vista Business 64-bit
    Service Pack 2
    Core2 Extreme Q9300 4 x 2.53 GHz
    8 GB RAM
    I had 187 Firefox windows open when Firefox crashed. I had restore on. When the window that asks which windows I want to restore appeared, I deselected a few pages that I thought might be causing problems. I've never done this before (choose not restore all the windows that were open) and Firefox has always managed to restore all my windows. But having chosen 3 out of 187 not to open, Firefox only opened 30. The rest seem to be lost. In principle I should be able to find them in my history, but I visit hundreds of pages per day and only keep open a couple until the next day. My open Firefox windows to some extent constitute my to-do list, and some have been open for months. Stupidly, I had not backed up this to-do list (with for example screen captures) and I would really like to get it back. I am not afraid of a little hacking. Is there anything I can do?
    [And by the way, this is not really related to the above problem: after a while it often becomes impossible to actually open some of the Firefox windows that I have open. I probably average around 80, but range from 15 or so 150 usually. [I try to close them as I work through them with some success, so that the numbers don't just keep on increasing.] But this is not so much a problem because when click on Firefox in the task bar, I still get to see the titles of the webpages I am on and I can easily relocate them if I can't open a particular page. Yes, I do realise that the real solution to my problems would be to have less windows open, but that ill suits the way I work.]

  • When I right-click a link to open in another tab, the new tab opens not in the original window but in the first firefox window of the session

  • Since upgrading (FF29.0-Windows 8.0), only the active tab on any given Firefox window has the website name;other tabs have no name,only site logo. How do I fix?

    I recently upgraded to Firefox 29.0 (running Windows 8.0). Since upgrading, only the active tab on any given Firefox window has the site name. All other inactive tabs generally have a site logo on the left side of the tab, but none of the other tabs have the website name. If I push Alt + Tab to cycle through the windows, the website name will then show up on each tab, but once I select a window to work in the website names disappear from the tabs again, except for the active tab. Is this a feature of the upgrade? Is there a setting to have the site names appear? I would really like to have the ability to see what site is on each tab without selecting.

  • How do I stop the "Getting Started with Mozilla Firefox" tab from opening every time I open FF?

    Every time I open FF, the "Getting Started with Mozilla Firefox" tab opens. I have checked and it's not in my homepage list.
    If I open any additional windows, it doesn't open.
    But, once I close all of them and reopen it again, the tab opens.
    I've had a similar problem with a couple addons (ietab) doing the same thing.

    about:config is typed into the address bar as if you were going to a web page.
    It will popup a message warning you that you are messing with important stuff.
    Just agree.

  • I'd like to limit the Firefox window to the same size as my website...how can I do that?

    I'd like to limit the Firefox window to the same size as my website...how can I do that?

    Sorry, that isn't possible any more in Firefox, except for pop-up windows that a web site opens itself, and that can be overridden by the user with a simple preference setting in Options.
    Users can't change or set the window size in their own browser from the URL bar any longer, they have to do it via the Scratch Pad in Web Developer menu under the Firefox button.

  • In Firefox can not see the Downloads window, in the jump in the boot to be seen - the download speed Downloaded much and now can not see how to fix it?

    in Firefox can not see the Downloads window, in the jump in the boot to be seen - the download speed
    Downloaded much and now can not see how to fix it?

    I hate the new downloads-in-a-tab scheme. This was an unnecessary change in my book (if it aint broke, don't "fix it").
    So in order to get it back, I performed the about:config browser.download.useToolkitUI change, but now all I get is a blank download window that pops up every time I download something.
    Is there something else that I need to do? I've checked the change and it was saved, but it didn't resolve my issue as much as it just caused me a new issue.
