Why does the Firefox 4 default theme set colors that look odd in Windows 7?

On two different Windows 7 PC's I installed FF4 today. I also enabled the Menu bar as I prefer the additional functions to be handy.
The Menu bar is a Gray and light gray color combo that not only looks awkward, but is difficult to read. It seems to follow the Windows 7 standard theme, but doesn't do it very well.
Google searching the issue I see a few other users complaining of the same issue, but I have yet to see an easy fix.
In addition to the bars being colored awkwardly, icons for my extensions that appear in the upper right are also tough to read.
This was not the case with FF3.x.

@claykin,
did you solve your problem? I've just migrated to W7 and appear to have the same issue. On XP default FF4 theme is gray, which actually suited me. Now on W7 Firefox 4 default theme suddely becomes BLUE !?
What system color does FF4 pick? My OS window color is black, where does blue come from?

Why does the third party cookie setting (when unchecked) revert to "accept" when closing and reopening Firefox.

Uncheck "Accept Third Party Cookies"
Exit Firefox
Open Firefox
Check settings: "Accept Third Party Cookies" is now checked

See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
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.

Why does the tab order I set change when I enable usage rights?

I am using Adobe Pro 9.1.2 - set the tab order manually in a 4 page document - test everything - works great. Then, I enable usage rights, go back into the document to test, and the tabbing is out of order again. I have done this multiple times and what should have been a simple task is now taking hours to complete. Help!!! This didn't happen until I upgraded to this version.

Helvetica Neu 10 pt is the default text style for Numbers tables.
Setting a different style to one, some, or all cells does not make that different style the 'default.' Here's an example of the effects of three different sets of actions. All cells in the table had been set to display text as Jazz LET, 12 pt. The original content of B3, C3, and D3 was the same as is shown in C4. For each of the cells in row 3, the procedure described below was carried out, then the text shown was typed into the cell.
When you Select a cell, then "Cut" the cell, the cut includes the text AND any style that has been set for that cell, and the cell reverts to the default style. See cell B3 in the example.
If you Select the cell, Copy, then press delete, the text (and style) are copied, the content (text), but not the style, is deleted. See C3.
If you click on the cell to select it, click again to place the insertion point in the cell (to edit the text), then Select the text and press delete (or Cut), then the text is removed from the cell, but the style remains. See D3.
Regards,
Barry

Why does the Firefox Update that I accessed keep running and not complete its task?

The routine updates that Firefox sends to me have always worked just fine. Now though the latest update I have been trying to access just keeps running and never completes the task. The motion bar that shows the user that the update is running never stops. I have come back minutes later to find the motion bar still running. I have tried to access this particular update several times now and it always does the same thing; just keeps running and never stops.

Why does the Firefox home page keep telling me I'm up to date when I'm not?

The Firefox home page, found at http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/fx/ or by redirection from www.mozilla.com or www.firefox.com, tells me my version of Firefox is up to date. It isn't.
I'm currently running 11.0 (and should have 12.0) but this has been happening for quite some time now; that page just seems to always say you're up to date, no matter what.

It's a web site bug. It's been reported as #748741.
To update manually,
# Click the '''Firefox button'''.
# Open the '''Help''' menu and choose '''About Firefox'''.
# Click the '''Check for Updates''' button.

Why does the folder structure in RH not reflect what is in Windows Explorer?

Does anyone know why when I create a folder in the RoboHelp
project e.g. "Job Aids" using Windows Explorer and store Word docs
in it, that I am unable see that particular folder and its contents
within RoboHelp's Project Manager?
Thanks

I'm by no means an expert...
You should create a folder through the RH interface not
Explorer. That way the folder will be registered with the fpj file
that determines what files/folders to display.
It's not wise to perform 'covert' file ops in RH...use the
interface whenever possible.
FYI, even if RH does display the folder you create, I highly
doubt it will display the word docs within it. Maybe they should be
baggage files instead...

Why doesnt the Firefox Button show for my Computer which is a Windows?

My Firefox is the latest version yet i do not have the Firefox Button. I have the old fashion File, Edit, View, etc. options on the top of my page.
''Locking as duplicate, continue here - [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/932725]''

On Windows XP the default setup is to show the old style menus, but you can easily switch to using the Firefox button instead. In the View menu select Toolbars, then click the "Menu Bar" entry to deselect it.

Why does the Firefox icon on my desktop read1788 and not Mozilla?

Recently the Mozilla icon on my desktop changed from reading Mozilla to 1788 (the writing right under blue the Mozilla Firefox symbol) . Is this something Mozilla has done or is there an issue I need to resolve and if so how to I resolve this issue?
Also are there any free virus protection, that work with Mozilla?
Thank you in advance for any help you can give me in this matter.

No, the desktop shortcut hasn't been renamed. First, make sure it's really pointing to Firefox and not something else:
1. Right-click the icon and choose Properties.
 2. In the Properties window, click the Shortcut tab.
 3. Make sure the Target field says 
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
4. If it does, then click the General tab.
 5. In the text box at the top, enter the name you want for the shortcut.
 6. Click the OK button when done.
I take it you're having problems with the avast! Online Security add-on, which is why you have it disabled? Any add-on that scans every link on every page is bound to add a delay to loading time. If you're having more severe issues, you can ask for help on the Avast forum:
* http://forum.avast.com/index.php?board=2.0
That add-on isn't required for virus and malware protection. Here are some alternatives to the features it provides:

Why does the Firefox website think I have version 3.6.10 when I really have version 7.01?

I've updated to 7.0.1. It looks like Firefox 7.0.1. When I go up to "(about Firefox) it says I have 7.0.1. However when I try to use any some of the add-ons. It says I can't use them because I have Firefox 3.6.10. WHAT THE HECK??? Also, when I go into certain sites like iCloud for instance, It says I have an old version of Firefox and need to update to Firefox 7.0.1. BUT I HAVE AND I AM EVEN USING PERSONAS that are for 7.0.1. HELP!!!!!

Websites, including this one, check your user agent string to see what browser you're using. Yours is currently:
* ''Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.2.10) Gecko/20100914 Firefox/3.6.10 FBSMTWB''
My guess is whatever addon you have (or once had) installed that felt the need to add the FBSMTWB junk to the end overrode your real UA to do so and broke things for you. You'll want to reset things to let Firefox set it properly again. Follow the steps here to do so:

Why does the Firefox window needs to be resized manually every time you do something? HELP!

I'm am using a 64-bit version of windows 7.
I installed Firefox (New PC) and when i started using it every-time i clicked on something the browser would appear to freeze. But when i re-size the window by just dragging it out it would "unfreeze" and start working again until i clicked on something.
Posting this problem was a real chore.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling (with many versions) , i have try Waterfox and Nightly but i have been having the same problems.
I have 8gbs of ram and 2gb graphics, i have installed all adobe plugins and silverlight and i don't know what to do?
I don't have this problem with explorer or chrome but i hate them both. HHHEEEELLLLPPPPPPP!
Thanks in advance!

Why does the Firefox application stay open in the background when I close it?

I have a WN XP PRO desktop and a WN 7 Pro laptop. Every grade of Firefox has the same problen of staying open in the background at times. I have always had to restart my computers to clear it. Why can't this problem be fixed? I see that others are having the same problem. The only time that I know that it hasn't shut down is when I try opening it up. It may be running when I am using IE or Google. It has to be slowing my computers down.

There's no way a 16GB model phone has more than than capacity. I have no idea what you mean by AutoRun icon. Is that an app you downloaded? Did you jailbreak?
The "advertised" capacity of all storage devices is based on a decimal definition of "Gigabytes" where 1 GB is defined as 1,000,000,000 bytes. However computers see and calculate storage based on binary definitions where 1 GB = 1,073 742,824 bytes. Thus a 16 GB "decimal" device is only 14.9 real, binary gigabytes.
Also, there are additional loses due to formatting overhead and the iOS. RAM memory is separate and not used from the supplied flash disk.

Why does the integration time setting of Keithley 2000 (number of PLC) changes to medium (1PLC) from fast (10 PLC) and slow (0.1 PLC) settings, when I tried to read from Keithley?

Dear All,
I am trying to change the NPLC (the integration time) of Keithley 2000 and take voltage readings. Whenever I change the settings to fast or slow and then run the VI, the NPLC changes to medium. Could you kindly tell me what is causing this? Thank you and I look forward to receiving your replies.
Regards

For the NPLC setting, the higher the number, the longer it takes to get a reading. So 10 PLC is much slower than 0.1 PLC.
See if you can set the NPLC setting from the front panel. Then try changing the vi to set NPLC only, then read it back to see if it matches your setting. Sometimes changing ranges will automatically set the NPLC depending on the range chosen. So you have to send the range command before sending the NPLC command. This may be what is happening.
