Why is my firefox button missing?

I downloaded the latest version (4.0.1) but the Firefox Button (supposed to be on the top-left of the window) is not there. Don't I need ''that'' for setting up three home pages? Please help. Thanks! ü

The Firefox button is the default feature for Windows Vista and 7 only, you don't have that for Windows XP, you have the Menu Bar showing instead.

If you want to have it in Windows XP, you can hide the Menu Bar;
View > Toolbars UNCHECK the Menu bar.

Why is the Refresh Button missing in the Firefox upgrade I just got??

There has always been a Refresh button in the toolbar at the top. It is not there anymore and I want it back. Please supply it.

If you look at the very end of the address area, after the star, you should see a reload button. Actually, it changes depending on the page status: after loading, it's reload, during loading it's stop, and if you start typing into the address box, it turns into go.
If you prefer separate buttons, you can use the Toolbar customization feature to move the combined button away from the end of the address box and/or split the reload and stop (change the sequence to prevent them from recombining).
View menu > Toolbars > Customize
If you have the orange Firefox button, tap the Alt key or press F10 to display the classic menu bar.
In some cases, it is easier to press Ctrl+r or the F5 key than to find the little button.

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 is the "Reset Firefox" button missing??

I have several FF preferences and add-on preferences that will not stay after a restart. I set them, but after I quite and restart FF, the old settings are back. I dutifully followed the mozilla support-site instructions and tried all options to fix the issue:
1) check for locked preferences--nope, not locked
2) User.js overides -- no such file
3) Reset Firefox to default -- not possible "reset" button is completely missing
I've used the reset several times, now, which was quite disheartening. But, it is very suspicious that I cannot find the reset button at all, now.
Someone seems to have asked this before, but the answer to just make a new profile was horrifying. Either this button is supposed to be there or it isn't. If it is supposed to be there, then this is an extremely serious security problem. Something is wrong and I must find out what. Why is this happening?

You only see the reset button on the "Help > Troubleshooting Information" page if you use the profile that is marked as Default=1 in the profiles.ini file.<br />
If you do not have the "Reset" button then either use the Profile Manager to create a new profile or use the Profile Manager to start with the current default profile to get the reset button in Firefox.

Why is the Flag button missing in the new iPhoto

I ugraded to iPhoto 9 and I really don't know why the flag button is missing in the bottom bar (beside share, edit etc.). It was there all the time before and one could easily flag any open photo (and I did it very often). And there is enough free space for that. These kind of "improvements" are beyond my understanding (( (or am I missing something ?)

Why is the import button missing on Home Sharing?

I just got a MacBook Pro and when I open Home Sharing the import button is missing on my Mac but I am able to see it on my PC. I checked and I authorized both computers and have the same accounts on both also. I have turned Home Sharing "on" and "off" on both computers and there still isn't a solution. On my PC, by the Home Sharing tab is a house with a music note but on my Mac it doesn't look like that. I also checked and when I go to Preferences>Sharing, it says my Home Sharing is on but I don't have any devices connected to it. I don't want to re-download over 1,000 songs. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Why is my genius button missing on my iPhone?

Hi,
The genius button has gone missing on my iPhone 4S. Any ideas how to get it back?
Note that I have tapped the screen, and the other additional controls are visible.

Yes.
In the mean time I have found the cause: No match and genius at the same time on iOS devices, it's either-or. Workaround is to turn off Match briefly, then make the playlist, then switch Match back on.

Why is ichat "DONE" button missing?

I'm trying to set up a computer with ichat and when I get to the final screen it states on the buttom of the window: *Click Done to start using ichat* but the Done button is missing. When I click the blue Continue button nothing happens. I'm stumped I've set up ichat on 5 comptuers and never had this issue.

So for some reason you do no see this screen

I would try a Different Mac User Account and see if that works.
If it does go back to the original Mac User Account and delete all the com.apple.ichatxxxxxx.plists and run the Start Up screen again.
Make sure the Me Card in the Address Book is you.

Why is the "overview" button missing from Preview scan?

When I try to scan something with Preview, the "overview" button no longer shows up in the menu. To the left of the scan button there's an empty button, but it doesn't function as the overview button. It functions the same as the scan button.

Why is the Firefox button causing my minimize/maximize/close buttons to seperate?

I recently updated to FF5 and I noticed that my minimize/maximize/close buttons on the title bar have a separation between them and the only way to make it return to normal is to start in safe mode. It is not caused by an extension alone but by the FF button. Is anyone else having this problem? It is kind of annoying.

Hmm, it worked on a "Basic" Windows 7 theme, but I can't see a way to move the buttons on an "Aero" theme.

Hi. I just downloaded Firefox 4. Some of the new features are missing such as the new "Firefox Button" and the new location for the bookmarks button. It almost looks just like Firefox 3. I am using Windows XP on this desktop computer. On my laptop, running Windows Vista, Firefox 4 has all the updates advertised. Why is this happening? How do I fix?
Thanks

Thanks so much!

The "Reset Firefox" button is missing from the Troubleshooting Information page in Waterfox v. 26.0.

Upon opening Waterfox I see a message at the bottom of the screen indicating that Waterfox is slow in opening. When I follow the link to find a fix for it, I get the page instructing me on how to reset the programme via the Troubleshooting Information page. However, the "Reset Firefox" button shown in the example is missing from the page in Waterfox.

You only see the reset button on the "Help > Troubleshooting Information" page if you use the profile that is marked as Default=1 in the profiles.ini file.
If you do not have the "Reset" button then either use the Profile Manager to create a new profile or use the Profile Manager to start with the current default profile to get the reset button in Firefox.

Why is Firefox button not default for Windows XP?

I know that the Firefox button can be shown on Windows XP too by hiding the Menu Bar. But why is it not default? If Windows XP users do not know that Firefox button can be shown by hiding Menu Bar, they will not only not be able to access the Firefox button but will also not be able to enjoy tabs-on-titlebar. Describe Mozilla why it is not default???

One thing to keep in mind about Chrome is that Google started with a clean sheet of paper in ''(what?)'' 2008 when creating a new browser. Firefox has roots from Netscape in 1995, so some of the Gecko base code is pretty old. Plus, Google has a helluva lot more money to spend on developer ''(some of whom have been hired away from Mozilla)'' salaries, where many Mozilla developers are from the "community" and are unpaid volunteers.
I am running the nightly Minefield 4.0b13pre development version on WinXP and don't see tabs in the titlebar as with the Vista and Win7 version screenshots I have seen. With a "stock" Profile, when I hide the Menu bar and select the menu item for Tabs on Top, the only thing in the Titlebar is the Firefox button on the left side of the Titlebar. There are no Tabs in the Titlebar. ''Maybe there is something that I don't understand about the tabs-in-titlebar feature in 4.0??''
As it is with WinXP that is very unappealing to me, so I have a few Profiles that I am playing with that have different modifications that make better use of the Titlebar area. In one Profile I have all my addon Toolbar buttons in the Titlebar - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/personal-titlebar/ - which places anything that is on the Menu bar into the Titlebar when the Menu bar is hidden.
Overall, I haven't used the Menu bar since like 2004 - to me it was always a waste of one toolbar worth of browser viewing area "real estate". I have been using the Compact Menu extension, and the various CM replacement extensions over the years since, to reduce the Menu bar items down to one button on the Nav bar that provides a drop-down menu, which can be activated with the '''Alt''', as the Firefox button / Menu bar now works. ''It could be said that I have been using the Firefox menu button for 7 years now - LOL.''
No browser that I have seen, except for Chrome, doesn't have an option to show a complete Menu bar - removing it completely would be a huge mistake, the option to hide is good enough. Firefox 4.0, Opera 10 & 11, along with IE8 did it a lot better than Google, IMO.
Between Google forcing that damn "updater" program on their users and not having a Menu bar at all, it's gone from my XP desktop and I haven't used it in any months on my Linux netbook.

The firefox button and the panorama view button are both missing in FF4 RC1

I updated to FF4 RC1 two days ago and noticed that the panorama view button was missing and the firefox button, which is supposed to replace the File, Edit, View etc. menus had not done so. So basically, I'm still stuck with the FF3 style menu buttons.

The Firefox button is default on Windows Vista and 7, but not on XP. The best explanation I can find was on one of the bug reports.
"In terms of external consistency, nearly every app on XP uses a traditional menu bar (windows explorer, etc.) While some users will prefer to switch to the Firefox button, I think we should stick to the native interactive style for each platform to reduce overall confusion and allow for an easy transition to the new version."
There were a few reasons for not displaying the panorama button by default. It can be confusing to those who have never seen it before if they click on the button, and there are some issues concerning memory usage that have still to be sorted out.
