Why are my Add-on Bar items halfway hidden, and why won't they display properly?

[http://download343.mediafire.com/29kbvy9b609g/uzw78f3vqf688mb/Add-on+Bar+Glitch.PNG Glitched Add-on Bar photo]
After using the new Firefox 4 for just a few days, I've noticed that my Add-on Bar items (mail notifier and weather bar) are jutted down below the actual visible display area they should be, so I can see half of the icons. This is not a priority issue, but it is still an issue, and it bothers me. I've already tried uninstalling then reinstalling Firefox 4, I've already tried removing then reinstalling the add-ons themselves, and I've also tried just hiding then showing the Add-on Bar but still nothing is changed. This problem only occurs when I use themes for Firefox 4 other than the default theme. The attached photo is a screenshot of my Add-on Bar so you hopefully won't think I'm crazy.

I've figured this out. Apparently, there is a graphical bug in FF4 when the "Show: Icons and Text" option under customizing the toolbar is enabled, and the Downloads icon is in the Add-on Bar, the Downloads icon remains centered, but the other items in the Add-on Bar are pushed under the display area of the Add-on Bar. If the setting is reverted back to just icons or just text shown, or if the Downloads icon is removed from the Add-on Bar, this is fixed. A simple line of code could fix this coincidental error, but as I said before, it's not a priority issue. As always, I can just click Ctrl+J to show my current downloads. I just tried to have this icon in the newly named Add-on Bar to replicate my old-fashioned Firefox 3.6 interface, but I guess that's unreasonable for Mozilla...

  • Why are so many plugins "Unknown" by Firefox? And why was the last discussion on this closed? Why is there NO INFORMATION about "unknown plugins"?

    On my list of plug-ins, half of them have the status of "unkown," with a box that says "Research?" I have no idea what this means, and it makes no sense to me that the topic of "Unknown Plugins" is not addressed ANYWHERE in the Firefox help pages. I read through all the "help" pages I could find about Plugins, and none of these pages even mentioned Unknown Plugins. Even doing a search for "unknown plugins" brought up nothing except one discussion on this topic -- which never received an answer, and which has been "closed."
    This is odd because unknown plugins are obviously a major issue: HALF of my plugins are "unknown" and these are not from rare or minor companies. I don't have my entire list handy but my "unknown plugins" are from such sources as Google ("google update"), RealPlayer, iTunes, Amazon-mP3, Windows Live (photo gallery), and Picassa.
    The whole reason I ended up grappling with plugins was in my quest to get rid of the annoying ads that creep up from the bottom right of my screen, and end up getting in the way of the page I'm viewing. I can't get rid of these things no matter how hard I try. There is no "x" in the corner, no option to remove or block frame when I right click on the ads, etc.
    I have no idea if unknown plugins could play a role in these insidious ads, but there needs to be more explanation from Firefox on why so many plugins are unknown, and what exactly that means; how can "unknown plugins" possibly affect us?

    Where are you looking at your plugins? I assume that you are looking at them over at http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ . This type of behavior occurs because the plugin checker doesn't know about those plugins. Since it doesn't know about these plugins it can't tell you if there up to date or not. To see the plugins that you have installed click on Firefox -> Add-ons -> Plugins. This will give you a list of the plugins you have installed. If you don't see the Firefox button then click Tools -> Add-ons -> Plugins.
    As far as the ad's you are talking about this is rather concerning. This could be caused by a variety of different things. Can you provide me with the URL on one of these ad's? If you can I may be able to tell you want there associated with.

  • TS1559 why are 4s's not working with new software and apple won't come good

    I have a iphone 4s with the new update is making my phone slow and the wifi is not working. 200.00 to fix it. I have apple laptop, desktop, 4 iphones two 4s and two 5c's and they will not fix what their update did to my phone. Any feed back to help resolve this would be appreciated. I put it in the freezer( an online solution), restarted it to factory settings, reset my wifi and nothing everyone one says there are many 4s's that are doing this since the new software. Sounds like they just want you to buy new phones and my contract is not up for one year with my provider, I am very frustrated and disappointed.

    No intelligetent person puts electronics in the freezer.
    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  If none of this resolves, then the device should be taken to Apple for evaluation.
    If Apple determines the device has suffered a hardware failure, they will either replace under warranty (if under warranty) or offer an Out of Warranty replacement.
    So what exactly is the problem?  They offered an Out of Warranty replacement for the defective device.

  • Why are my apps taking up more space than what the appstore says they will? Like were talking a full GB more than what it should.

    Why are my apps taking up more space than what the appstore says they will? Like were talking a half a GB more than what it should.
    For example the app Modern Combat 4 says it should only be 1.58 GB on the appstore but when i go into settings>general>usage it says it takes up 2.0 GB.
    Ive tried deleting the apps and then reinstalling them but they still take up so much more space.
    This happens for multiple apps of mine. Some I have never even opened before.
    I have an ipod touch (4th Gen)(32GB).
    I link to a mac computer.
    I have IOS version 6.1.3
    I noticed this a long time ago but didnt need the space, Now i need the space!!
    Please help!!

    Because you see the file size of the compuressed file. The file gets expanded when installed and that takes up more space. Also, data is kept in the app.

    Office 2004 Applications Won't Work in Lion
    You must have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite and will not work in Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion.
    You may want to consider as well:
    These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
    NeoOffice
    Open Office
    And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
    Pages - word processing and layout
    Keynote - presentation
    Numbers - spreadsheet
    Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
    (Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

  • Why are my emails getting caught in my outbox and not sending?

    Why are my emails getting caught in my outbox and not sending?

    This started happening to me immediately after updating to 10.9.3. None of the suggestions that I could find through Google (orotherwise) helped at all. Mail.app simply does not try to empty the outbox. I would call AppleCare, but they'll just tell me that the software is fine and that it's unreasonable for me to expect to be able to send email.
    Apple support is a dim shadow of it's former self, but it correctly reflects teh state of Apple development. I picked a horrible time to switch to Mac.

  • I'm trying to redeem my itunes gift card and i get the message "session timed out".  does anyone know why i'm not able to redeem my card and why i get this message?

    i'm trying to redeem my itunes gift card and i get the message "session timed out."  does anyone know why i'm not able to redeem my card and why i get this message in stead?

    I've been having the same issues too, and thought it was just my outdated computer or account?!
    Every time I try to purchase a song, "session has timed out" shows up after I click "agree" to the terms!? I seem to be in the exact same scenario as 'SportsBarn' above:  Itunes support have replied repeatedly with the same "solutions" but nothing has helped or even been applicable.  I have an older laptop, 2005 Powerbook running OS X 10.4 Tiger so it's not compatible with the latest iTunes 10.5.2 which requires minimum OS X 10.5. I've been using the balance already in my iTunes account (from redeemed giftcards over the past few years) with no problem, until recently (my last successful purchase was October 2011). I wonder if it's the older OS or just a redemption glitch even with newer computers?

  • Itunes progress bar is not moving and music won't play. I also have no audio from my laptop at all. Any ideas? I am running windows 8.

    Have had no previous problems with iTunes but for past two weeks my I tunes progress bar is not moving and music won't play.
    I also have no audio from my laptop at all. Any ideas? I am running windows 8.

    I'm having the same incredibly frustrating problem. I have 50-60 GBs of music and now literally ALL OF A SUDDEN most of my mp3s won't play in iTunes. Of the songs that do play, many of them sound garbled (almost as if you were listening to them underwater). As others have noted, the songs do in fact play properly in other media players (VLC, MPC, WMP, etc).
    I feel like I've tried just about everything but I can't seem to fix the problem. Nor have I been able to find any viable solutions after hours of scouring the internet. Here is a list of the steps I've taken so far, in chronological order:
    1. Closed/re-opened iTunes
    2. Re-booted computer
    3. Uninstalled/re-installed iTunes
    4. Tried deleting songs from iTunes library and then re-adding them, but after dropping files into the library they don't show up at all, iTunes refuses to import them
    5. Downgraded from iTunes 8 to iTunes 7
    None of these things have helped at all and I am amazed that even after completely uninstalling iTunes 8 and then installing version 7 I'm still experiencing the same problem. And, on top of things, I've found that iTunes 7 is not recognizing the ID3 tags for many of the songs it does import.
    My apologies for the length of this post. I just want to be specific and provide as much info as I can so that maybe we can find a solution to this thing.
    So, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

  • My phone is barred but by who and why ??

    started just over 24 hrs ago, went to use phone silly little icon on bar signal top left hand side. So checked on line, said that there was a mast in my postcode area down...ok...

    Hi there @purplecatqueen I've just seen your post and noticed the number you were given to phone. I will not comment on the reasons why your phone has been barred but all I can say is if you don't want to dial the number call 202Monday - Friday 8.30am - 6pm and they will transfer the call. This department is the only one that can remove the bar, if it has been placed in error, It's their decision. They will also explain to you why the bars has been placed on the account. Hope this helps 202 from a barred phone.....?If you can use another O2 phone, fair enough but 202 is for contract CS not PAYG so won't work from a PAYG phone either. You'd need to call 4445 but as you have someone helping you already, best to wait for that to pan out before confusing the situation any further.......

    Strange. The photos that don't display in Aperture will still display in iPhoto but when I view the info the file doesn't show resolution information only for those problematic photos
    Files sizes are almost all jpeg. Once I reference the file in iPhoto, the master displayed resolution for the photo within finder. The photo's original file also opened in preview and photoshop.
