Where's the task bar gone?

The task bar and the status bar have both disappeared. How do I restore them?

Hi Alembic, could you clarify which "status bar" is missing? Firefox 29 and newer do not have the old Add-on bar / Status bar unless you are using an extension to restore them.
Regarding the Taskbar, unless you are in Firefox's full screen view -- F11 switches between normal view and full screen view -- Firefox should never hide the Windows Task bar. When that happens, it can be due to a corrupted settings file. Here is how to clear that file:
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
* type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. This should launch a new window listing various files and folders in Windows Explorer.
Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit, either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
* (menu bar) File > Exit
Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''xulstore.json''' to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename that one to localstore.old.
Start Firefox back up again. Does Firefox display normally again?

  • Where has the Application Bar gone in CS6 and can I get it to show?

    I use this a lot in CS5 and notice it isn't showing in CS6, is there any way to make it show?

    The Application Bar was intentionally removed. A majority of users told us they'd rather have the extra vertical space for their images than the Application Bar.

  • Where has the progress bar gone from the bottom of my form

    The progress bar has DISAPPEARED from the bottom of my forms. They are questionnaires so it is essential that I have them!
    Has the feature been removed or is it just a bug?

    It no longer appears for a one page form or on the last page of a multiple page form.
    Are you not seeing it on other pages of a multiple page form? Can you send a link to your form to [email protected] so we can take a look.

  • Firefox window is not shown and not even in the tasks bar, but there is a process running in the task manager

    Clicked on the Firefox icon , but window did not appeared, checked in the Task manager, there is a process running with firefox.exe, and could not see any icon in the task bar adjacent to start button

    I discovered that when the "Firefox is already running . . . ." message pops up I can fix it by doing the following [note: I get the same message for the Thunderbird e-mail program too] : 1. I open 'TASK MANAGER" and click on the "Processes" tab. 2. Next I scroll down until I see Firefox.exe *32 in the leftmost column (or Thunderbird. exe *32 if the message came up there), highlight that line by clicking on it and then click on the "end process" button on the right side on the bottom. 4. A pop-up window will come up but ignore its message and click on the "end process" button in the pop-up window. The program should then start the next time you click on the icon..
    While that saves the need to restart your PC to fix the problem, I have yet to find any information as to the reasons for those two processes to show up in the first place. I'm running the 64 bit Win 7 Professional and do not know if that has something to do with those two processes running from time to time or not. The message comes up often but not all the time and I haven't been able to pinpoint any action on my part where the message comes up if I do '''X '''or the message never comes up when I do '''Y''' before closing Firefox or Thunderbird.

  • One button for Firefox window on the Task Bar instead of many

    I want to see just one button in the Task bar of my computer for Firefox window and not multiple, each window for each open tab. How can I do that?

    There is a setting for whether to inform Windows about each individual tab or only the active tab in each separate window. Here's where you can check and adjust that:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Tabs panel
    It's the last item: "Show tab previews in the Windows taskbar". If that is checked, you get ALL tabs in ALL windows on the Taskbar, and if it's unchecked, you only get the active tab in each window.
    Is that what you're looking for?

  • Making a message pop up appear on the task bar

    hi all ! Im making a pop up with a message so the person can know that the product is registered. I use this code
    javax.swing.JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Nueva Cita registrada","Medex",javax.swing.JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);The thing is that I want to make the pop up to appear in the task bar because sometimes it appear but behind the JSP and it looks like the program hanged or something.
    Thanks !

    There are two steps in running a JSP:
    1. The server converts the JSP code to HTML and sends it to the client.
    2. The client (your browser) displays that HTML.
    Your Swing code there runs in step 1, on the server. At the moment you are running your server on the same machine as the client, right? So you see the popup window on your machine, because it is the server. But in real life the client would not see that popup window. It would appear on a different computer, in a room where nobody is watching it.
    So, no, that can't be done. And no amount of changing it will make any difference. It's just wrong. If you want the client to see something, it has to be done in the HTML that the JSP produces. No Java code there, only HTML. If you really want something to appear in the browser's task bar then there may be some Javascript function that can do that.

  • Why does the 'Downloads' gives me a full page which I can not just minimize to the task bar.

    I'm running Firefox 34.05 as opposed to what the data will say (34.0)
    Lately, when I press the 'Downloads' in Tools, I get a full page as if it is a new tab. I use to have a small block that I could minimize to the task bar. Is there something I can do to restore it to it former glorious self?
    As a secondary question which seemed to happen at the same time comes this question. now when I download a clip it does not appear in the Download (now) page. It still downloads but I can not view it download, stop the download or even go to where it was downloaded. Any help would be appreciated.

    Normally Tools > Downloads or Ctrl+j launches the Library dialog and displays the Downloads section (the Library dialog also shows History and Bookmarks). Regarding the size of the window, it could be that you used the dialog to view history or bookmarks and enlarged it. Firefox doesn't remember the size separately for the 3 different lists.
    On the second point, since you have a few different downloaders, I'm not sure which one is malfunctioning, or maybe there's a conflict between them. You might check their pages on the Add-ons site to see if reviews or support information reports the same issue and mentions any workarounds.

  • Where has the preview panel gone is Bridge CS5?

    Today when I opened up Bridge, the preview panel on the right hand side has disappeared. It shows as being selected when I go to the Window Menu but it isn't there. The scroll bar is also missing so I can't view all of the thumbnails. Does anyone have any ideas about why this has happened and how I can return it to it's normal format? Thanks, Michelle.

    Fantastic. Thank you, much appreciated

    No, but you can choose Reset Workspace from the workspace menu to get it back to normal.

  • Firefox opens, and preview shows when hover on the task bar link, but the window will not maximize, or show up at any size on my screen (Windows 7) Help?!

    I am running Windows 7 and just updated Firefox to the 7.0 version. I can open Firefox, in the sense that I can run the application. I can see that it is open because the link shows up on my task bar, and when I hover over it I can see the thumbnail preview - which, incidentally says "You're almost there!"; but I can not open the window! I have tried clicking once on the task bar link, and once again (just in case I was clicking to minimize instead of maximize). I have tried double clicking the shortcuts on my desktop, then the one in my program files, as well as the one in my start menu, and the static one pinned to my task bar. I have tried accessing Firefox from every path available on my computer and I can open it every time, but *never* not even once have I been able to view it on my screen. I can't understand what would cause this and maybe I'm just an idiot but can anybody help me... please? Oh, and I don't know if it makes any difference, but I did try restoring 6.0 and I re installed 7.0 again, all to the same end... Many thanks to anyone willing to help me fix this!

    -> [[Software Update Failed#w_run-as-administrator|Run as Administrator]]
    -> right-click Firefox icon and choose Properties
    * go to Compatibility tab
    * click Use Resolution 640x480 pixels
    * click OK and start Firefox
    -> Firefox will now start but you should be able to change the size of the window.
    * Close Firefox and now Uncheck the 640x480 resolution
    * Start Firefox again and now all should be fine
    Check and tell if its working.

  • How do I get Firefox to open on the desktop from the task bar

    When I click on the icon in the task bar, there is a streak off to the right of the screen. Another click and it streaks back to the icon. It will not show on my desktop. I used it one day, shut down and the next time I opened, I had this problem. Everything is on Firefox and I can't use it???

        imsarah18,
    Hmm that's definitely odd! How long have you been using the application on your phone? Do the messages show up on your phone?

    are you backing up files, or doing a Time machine backup, either way, the Time machine will STOP when finished and show "last backup at XXXXXX"  meaning its done...... OR if when transferring files, it will show a progress bar on your desktop and vanish when files are copied.
    Open up the Hitachi drive (your G drive is made by Hitachi, and the best made by the way).....and see if the files are there.
    a MORE VISUAL way is to open the hard drive file, and drag and drop files INTO the Gdrive and you can see them visually be copied there as you do it.
    To see your HD on your desktop GOTO  FINDER......PREFERENCES....then GENERAL TAB.........check the box marked HARD DRIVES.........then your Gdrive will appear on your desktop........open it from there,  and DRAG and drop files from anywhere INTO the Gdrive....... easy visual way to see the files being copied into the Gdrive.
