Where is the TOOLS MENU

Every time I try to change something like "turn off cookies" the FIRST action I am asked to take is go to tools menu.......WHERE THE $&*$%&^IS IT????????

In newer versions of Firefox, the Options window has been moved from the Tools menu to the Firefox menu. Press the orange "Firefox" button in the top left corner and then choose "Options."
You can also press Alt+T on your keyboard to show the Tools menu (or just Alt to show the whole menu bar). Or you can right-click on the orange Firefox button and select "Menu bar" to turn the old-style menus back on.

Where is the Tools tab on Firefox 5.0 so I can make Google my homepage?

I want Google as my homepage, but can't find the Tools tab on the latest Firefox. My husband disliked the new browser so much, he reinstalled the older version of Firefox. I'm sure it's something simple, but I'm still in the intermediate stage of computers.

-> Tap ALT key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
-> go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
-> Update ALL your Firefox Plug-ins https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
-> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> unselect All Unwanted toolbars
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> General -> ''When Firefox starts : '''select "Show My Home Page"''''' -> Type the address of the website which you want to be your HomePage e.g. http:www.google.com -> place Checkmark on "Show the Downloads window when downloading a file" -> select Radio Button option2 "Always ask me where to save files"
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Content -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Block Pop-up windows 2) Load images automatically 3) Enable JavaScript
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Security -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons 2) Block reported attack sites 3) Block reported web forgeries 4) Remember Passwords for sites
-> Click OK on Options window
-> click the Favicon (small drop down menu icon) on Firefox SearchBar (its position is on the Right side of the Address Bar) -> click "Manage Search Engines" -> select all Unwanted Search Engines and click Remove -> click OK
-> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious Extensions (Add-ons) -> Restart Firefox
You can enable your Known & Trustworthy Add-ons later. Check and tell if its working.

Where have the tools menu gone

I have the latet version of firefox and want to get rid of yahoo as my home page and go back my original home.

Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
This issue can be caused by an extension.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

Where is the "tools menu"? Many of the help topics say to go here, but I cannot find it. Searching help for it lists 1088 things, but all of the ones I looked at assume you can already find the tools menu. Where is it?

There really isn't more detail. What sequence of things do I click to find this "tools menu"? I am using Firefox 5.0.1.

Or put the phone in airplane mode as quickly as possible and then see if you can import the pics to the computer or do a iTunes backup.

Where is the tools menu in the latest version of firefx?

Where is the "Tools" Menu item in FF Beta 4?

I am trying to set my home page and specify which pages open when I start Firefox.
I dislike that the pages I had open last time automatically open up. Sometimes I close FF to get rid of unwanted pages and it annoys me that they all open back up when I restart FF.

By default in Firefox 4 the menu bar is hidden, you can temporarily display the menu bar by pressing wither F10 or the Alt key.
You can open the Options window by clicking on the Firefox button and selecting Options.

I can no longer see the tools menu

I cannot now find the tools menu on Firefox in order to delete individual cookies

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

In Firefox 4, I cannot find the "Tools" menu. Where is it?

The first question I asked was how to disable the pop-up window feature. I cannot uncheck the block box in the control panel!! There was a red box around this option and when I tried to uncheck this option, nothing happened.
The 2nd question is that I don"t see the "tools" menu after clicking on the firefox tab?

The Menu Bar is hidden by default in Windows 7. Please read this article to show it:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Menu%20bar%20is%20missing
Once you select to show it, you should see the Tool option, then go to Options > Content and you can disable the pop-up window by CHECK it.

How do I quickly change personas in Firefox 4? There is no longer a link on the "tools" menu

I just upgraded to Firefox 4 and I'm a little disappointed, as it is onerous to change my Firefox persona (no link on Tools menu) *and* there is no longer a "select random person from favourites" option! Will this be changed? Am I missing something (i.e. the options are there butn a new place?)

'''Firefox button > Add-ons''' will open the Add-ons Manager tab, then hit the Appearance item on the left-side of that tab. Personas can be selected in that Appearance display. Or, you can use '''{ Ctrl + Shft + A }''' to open that tab.
You can also hit the '''Alt''' key to temporarily reveal the Menu Bar, where the Tools menu item is. Hitting '''Alt''' then '''T''' will open the Tools drop-down.
As far as, ''' "select random person from favourites" ''', that isn't a standard feature in Firefox 4 - it is probably a feature provided by an extension you had installed, that I am not familiar with and can't help you with.

I downloaded Pixler Grabber but I cannot find it on Firefox. On older version of firefox it used to be under the "tools" menu.

Where do I find Pixler Grabber. The new Firefox stinks.

To access the classic Tools menu, press Alt+t or just tap the Alt key to display the menu bar.
To keep that bar full time instead of the orange Firefox button, use View > Toolbars > Menu bar, or right-click a blank area of the tab bar and choose Menu bar.
Does that work?
Edit: I don't use that add-on, but some add-ons now integrate into the Web Developer sub-menu on the Tools menu, so you might check there as well.

Firefox hangs if I try to open Options in the Tools menu

When I select Options from the Tools menu this hangs Firefox and any tabs that may be open. I have to End the non responding program through Task Manager.
This happens any/everytime I try to access Options.
This only happens on my laptop, not my PC. It works fine on my PC. I am on Firefox 6.0.2

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Rather than go to the home page I have specified in the General tab of Options in the Tools menu, Firefox keeps going to a truncated version of this url.

I have used the following URL as my firefox home page for quite some time:
https://www.google.com/search?num=100&safe=off&hl=en&complete=0&q=Rochester-NY+CDC.gov+|+NIH.gov&btnG=Search
Several months ago, malware of some sort replaced this url with one of their own. I got rid of the malware and put back my original home page, but I'm continuing have a problem: Every time firefox goes to my home page, rather than using the whole url that I've specified, firefox truncates this url to just the first 87 characters, and goes to this truncated url instead:
https://www.google.com/search?num=100&safe=off&hl=en&complete=0&q=Rochester-NY+CDC.gov+
Not only is this not the url that I have specified in the General tab under Options in the Tools menu, I always get an error message in an additional tab whenever Firefox goes to this truncated version of my home page. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get firefox to use the entire url I have specified as my home page in the General Tab under Options?
I do not know if this is relevant or not, but I noticed that prefs.js includes two other user prefs related to the home page in addition to the one that identifies the url I chose:
user_pref("browser.startup.homepage", "https://www.google.com/search?num=100&safe=off&hl=en&complete=0&q=Rochester-NY+CDC.gov+|+NIH.gov&btnG=Search");
user_pref("browser.startup.homepage_override.buildID", "20130617145905");
user_pref("browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone", "22.0");

You need to escape the pipe character as %7c if you want to include it in the URL

Are these suggestions speficic to the Windows version of Firefox? Because on my Mac version (31.0) there is no "options" in the Tool menu

Are these suggestions speficic to the Windows version of Firefox? Because on my Mac version (31.0) there is no "options" in the Tool menu.
I'm trying to figure out why Firefox has no spellcheck. I suspect it needs dictionaries installed, but it's a bit of a mystery. I had to reste FF as it kept crashing after I updated to V31.0

Yes Options is for Windows.
On Mac you use "Firefox > Preferences" or the Preferences button in the "3-bar" Firefox menu button drop-down list.
You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu.
At least one dictionary should be installed and have a check mark to indicate that it is selected.
*Open the "Add Dictionaries" link to install a dictionary if you do not have one.
*Make sure that [X] "Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu is check-marked.
You can enable or disable spell checking globally:
*Firefox > Preferences > Advanced : General: Browsing: "Check my spelling as I type"
You can look here for dictionaries:
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/language-tools/
Were you able to stop the crashes?

THE TOOLS MENU NO LONGER SHOWS "OPTIONS" AFTER I UPGRADED TO FIREFOX 5

When I click on the Tools menu, the drop down menu has blanks after "Web Search", "Set Up Sync", and "Page Info". "Options" used to be in one of those spots, and Options no longer shows. I am running a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X Version 10.6.8. I'm running Firefox 5 and the "About Firefox" menu item says that my version is up to date.

On Mac, you should find the options under
Firefox > Preferences
