Why doesnt the firefox logo stay in my dock?

firefox logo disapears from the dock for no known reason

I have several thoughts:
1) When you drag an application from the Applications folder to the Dock, you aren't "removing" it from anywhere.  You're just making a specialized alias in the Dock.
2) I've never heard of anyone creating an OS X user name (if that's what you mean) like you describe.  Is that what you mean?  I'd avoid creating an OS X user name with special characters.
3) To try to keep that Time Machine icon in the Dock, launch Time Machine, then click-and-hold on the Time Machine icon in the Dock, then when the pop-up menu appears, roll up to "Options", then over to "Keep In Dock".

  • 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 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 do I get a spinning black circle on Firefox tab instead of the Firefox logo?

    Since downloading Firefox I am having about 50-50 percent success rate of reaching the website I enter or click on. About 50% of the time the site loads just fine and about 50% of the time the site won't load and I get the ever spinning black circle on the left side of the tab where the Firefox logo usually is. In the instances where the site doesn't load and I get the spinning black circle if I go back and forth 3 or 4 times or hit the "x" and refresh button in the address bar a few times I can eventually get the site to load. Another odd things is lots of times when I do finally get the site to load I still don't get the Firefox symbol on the tab, I get a spinning green circle instead. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • How do I remove in the upper left corner the Firefox logo which is followed by text describing the web page. Want to declutter the screen and gain space.

    Right above the Menu tool bar, (File,Edit,View, History,etc.), in the upper left hand corner is the Firefox logo followed by text..as I'm typing this, it reads "Ask a Question|Mozilla Support-
    Mozilla Firefox". Since I already use the Navigation tool bar, find this information redundant and most important want to regain some real estate on my small screen by removing it if possible. Thanks.

  • How do I get the top bar back that shows page description and the Firefox logo?

    The bar at the top of Firefox that appears on every program above the menu bar is gone.
    As in, the bit that normally displays the page title, and the firefox logo. It now looks indistinguishable from Chrome. I'm not in full screen mode.
    When I click and drag firefox to the top of my screen to snap it to my monitor size, the firefox logo and the title are shown for the instant until it snaps, but as soon as it snaps it's gone (and generically everywhere).
    I want to be able to see what browser I'm in at a glance, and see the title of the page I'm on. How can I resolve this?

    You can find the button to enable the window title bar at the bottom left of the customize window.

  • Why doesnt the sound play when i mirror my laptop to my apple tv play?

    why doesnt the sound play off my speakers when i mirror my laptop to my apple tv?

    Answers can only be as helpful as the details provided.  And none were given here.  It is likely an issue with the device settings, and or a conflict with the type of audio encoding used in the video and the device(s) [tv, stero, amp, etc.] actually playing the audio.

  • I have tried to laod the newest firefox 13. on my imac, 10.4.11. but after it down loads I get the firefox logo with a circle & white line over it, {?}

    once the download is complete I do NOT get the firefox logo. The logo that appears on my desk top is an alias.

    Unfortunately, Firefox 13 does not support Mac OS X 10.4. [[Firefox no longer works with Mac OS X 10.4 or PowerPC processors]]. The link I gave gives some possible solutions (as you have a PowerPC mac, you can't update your Operating System either unfortunately).

  • With the latest Firefox update, the Firefox window stays in front of all other software windows until I directly minimize the Firefox window. Is this a bug?

    I can minimize the Firefox window, but *unless* I minimize it, I can't access other programs-- even if I click on a window behind the Firefox window or try clicking on the appropriate icon from the Windows taskbar. The Firefox window stays in front.
    I'm using Firefox 18.0; I am on the update release channel.
    My enabled add-ons are:
    Adblock Plus Pop-up Addon 0.5
    BetterPrivacy 1.68
    Flashblock 1.5.15.1
    RAMBack 1.0
    and I have no toolbars installed. The only other thing I've recently installed is Amazon Cloud Drive-- but again, this problem is specifically and only with the Firefox window.
    Thank you for any help you can give me!

    There is a bug in Adblock. If you disable, thing return to normal. In my experience, this only occurs after an ad is blocked.

  • Origin of the Firefox logo

    Hi, I'm a fan of Firefox and this is not an issue as such, so apologies if I'm wasting anyone's time!
    I'm a designer, so I couldn't help but notice the similarity between the Firefox logo and the Moon. I flipped a picture of the Moon horizontally and as far as I'm concerned they're an almost perfect match, the lighter area to the Southeast (bottom and right side when flipped) is very similar in shape to the Fox, the darker lunar mara defining his outline.
    Only problem is my friends think I'm nuts for thinking they look similar! Can you please kindly confirm if the Moon was indeed an influence on your logo?
    Please reply, a pint of beer may be at stake!
    Kind regards,
    Anj Avraam

    I'm not sure what sphere that is. This recent article links to some of the earlier history: [https://blog.mozilla.org/creative/2013/06/27/a-new-firefox-logo-for-a-new-firefox-era/].

  • Why does the camera shutter stay closed?

    Why does the camera shutter stay stuck?  The camera won't operate.  I've rebooted several times, I've changed settings several times, I've held by finger over each camera as demostrated on a youtube video.  Nothing has corrected the problem.

    That happens sometimes.  See this ongoing discussion.  An appointment at the Genous Bar of an Apple store is probably in order:

    I keep getting a message that Firefox is open and not responding. That I have to close the Firefox application or restart my computer. A real pain. Why is the firefox application not closing.

    Sounds like Firefox is "hanging at exit". That problem is frequently caused by an Extension or a Plugin. Read all of the following articles.<br /><br />
