A button to the Firefox window in the taskbar instead of several

I want just one button in the taskbar of my computer for the Firefox window and not several, each window for each open tab. How can I do?

There is a setting for whatever inform Windows on each of the individual tabs or only the active tab in each separate window. Here's where you can check and adjust that:

"3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > tabs Panel

It's the last item: "show glimpses of tab in the Windows task bar. If this is checked, you get all THE tabs in all windows in the taskbar, and if it is unchecked, you get only the active tab in each window.

-What are you looking for?

    Windows Vista - How can I move the buttons in the taskbar to the left side of the taskbar? Someone has used my computer and now they are on the right side you can see 2 programs at once. I want that they start on the left and run through the whole (not just two value windows) task bar so I can see all and switch between them by clicking on them.

    Right-click on the taskbar and unlock it. There will be low vertical bars between the sections of the taskbar. Place the cursor on one and drag it to the left. You have to play a little, but you will get it.

    Hi GavinAlston,

    ·         Since when are you facing this problem?

    ·         You did it last changes before the show?

    ·         Are you able to see the desktop icons?

    Step 1: I suggest that you put your computer in safe mode and check if it helps.

  • How can I disable the way Windows 7 organizes buttons in the taskbar?

    Windows 7 is not organize programs according to the order that you run them, he orders them according to the type of programs, but I do like it. How can I have the same old way as Windows XP?

    For example, if I'm under 10 programs and I run Windows Media Player, the Windows Media Player button appears at the beginning the buttons on the taskbar which is what I don't want.

    Thanks for any help.

    Two points:

    1. you can rearrange the buttons in the order you want by simply dragging
    the where you want.

    2. If you pin a shortcut to the taskbar, it will stay in this
    position (except if you drag it elsewhere). This is a very good
    thing to do, because it maintains the button in the same place all the time.
    If the program is already running. This is the reason why I
    prefer the way Windows 7 t - it instead of using a quick launch bar
    like previous versions of Windows.

  • How to restore captions for the buttons in the taskbar?

    All of a sudden my Vista Ultimate x 64 taskbar buttons are tiny and have no subtitle.  I find nothing in the preferences/options of the bar of tasks or anywhere online that addresses this problem.  How can I get the legends back on my buttons on the taskbar?

    I found an answer to this, but find again this issue is a problem.  The link "click to go to the wire" did not work in the window of hotmail, microsoft answers did not show me a link for questions, that I had asked and research of the question did not.

    Now.  No, I meant that the icons are there, but the legends thereon are missing.  There is no way that I could find to fix this without going into the registry.  There is a key to register HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics.  A subkey MinWidth was added here.  I deleted the subkey and my legends back.

    And to answer your question about the changes.  Yes, there was a.  I downloaded PC Tools Registry Mechanic and 'optimized' my system.  Usually, tools such as analyzing, ask, and then optimize.  This "Optimization" took place without my express permission, and it does not backup before it changed things and did not offer a plea for annulment.  I have to find what other things he 'optimized' for me.  Found another today when all of a sudden my scanner has failed.   Turned out (after much research) one of the services he neede had been disabled (not changed in manual, DISABLED).  Needless to say, I deleted the tool.

  • Start button on the taskbar, while opening with the mouse, but works using the touch screen does not

    Windows icon on the taskbar does not bring up start page using the mouse, but will Touch. Clickable after the restart, but only for a couple of times?

    Hello

    Please contact Microsoft Community. I understand that start button on the taskbar does not not at the opening with the mouse, it works but when touch use. I've surely you will help solve this problem.

    To better understand the issue, I would need more information on your side.

    1. The problem occurs when you use another mouse?
    2. What is the number and the model of the computer and the mouse?
    3. Did you the latest changes on the computer before this problem?

    This problem might have occurred because of these reasons:

    1. Missing updates of Windows and the device driver updates.
    2. Conflict between third-party applications.
    3. Corrupt system files.

    Try the steps listed here and see if it helps:

    Method 1:

    If the problem does not occur when you use another mouse, I suggest you to download and install all Windows Update available including optional updates. You can also install the last mouse driver\Software from mouse manufacturer website and check if it helps.

    Method 2:
    If the problem occurs when you use a different mouse, I suggest to start the computer using safe mode and check if the problem occurs or not. If this isn't the case, I suggest you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    Step 1:
    Start the computer in Mode safe. At the start of the computer Mode safe with the minimum set of drivers and files.

    Start settings for Windows (including safe mode)
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows-8/Windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode

    Step 2:
    If the issue happen not in Mode without failure, perform a clean boot and check. Setting the system in a clean boot state will help you determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem.

    Note: After the clean boot troubleshooting steps, see the "How to reset the computer to start as usual after a clean boot troubleshooting" section in the link provided to return the computer to a Normal startup mode.

    Method 3:

    If the problem persists, I suggest you perform the Scan SFC (System File Checker) and check if it helps. SFC scan will search the system files corrupted on the computer and replace them.

    Use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7 system files

  • Do NOT combine the buttons on the taskbar

    How do you set Adobe Reader to NOT combine the taskbar buttons? My preference of windows 7 is already set to never combine the taskbar buttons tasks (right click on the bar of tasks/properties setting). My buttons were separated before 2015 was last updated (and the modification of the provision), but now they are combined. How do you define this back to show them separately?

    Wow and staff also. In fact, it is, but thanks for the attempt.

    I searched around and found that the setting is under the menu drop-down change, preferences, General category. Uncheck the option for "open documents as tabs in the same window (requires restart)". This allows Adobe to behave by the parameter of the windows taskbar and will separate each record under its own button in the taskbar.

  • (Programmatically?) how to change the name of the button on the taskbar for an executable

    Hello

    I use LabVIEW 2010SP1. I noticed that the name of an executable task bar button is always its file name (for example if I set "abc.exe" as filename target in the category information properties of the application, the name of the corresponding button from the taskbar is 'abc'.) Is it possible to change the name of bar button tasks (programmatically, by setting a property of application or by adding an entry in the 'abc.ini')?

  • Rename the buttons on the taskbar

    Is it possible to rename buttons on the taskbar to open programs?  Shortens name would allow more buttons to fit and a lot easier to see the name of the files open without having to spend on them.  Files can be found among others and open more quickly.

    Thank you

    Right-click on the taskbar that you want to rename. Select Properties. The web address will be highlighted. Click on name and delete or press the space bar to clear. Enter the name you want, and then click on save in the task pane.

    How can I move the Start button in the taskbar? Vista 32 bit

    Hello

    Unfortunately, you can not move the Start button in the taskbar. This feature is by design.

  • I do the buttons on the taskbar show only icons, but I wanted it back.

    what I did before the buttons on the taskbar show only icons is as follows:

    Start > run > regedit > HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics

    There, you must find the one "REG_SZ" with the name "MinWidth".

    (write without quotes)

    If you do not create one in your won with the name "MinWidth".

    (write without quotes)

    Once you find it double click on it and set the number 56 then click ok and close.

    Registry and restart your computer.
