    Hello
    I can't seem to open additional tabs with the +, the drop down menu, or T command? Is this a bug or am I missing something?

    Thanks in advance,

    You have a "Community Toolbar" extension installed? Which has been reported by other users of Mac as affecting the new tab feature in Firefox 30.

  • The drop down menu boxes that appear under the heading of Firefox do not fill. A form of box on the screen, but it is empty. Given zero no has not solved the problem.

    The file, editing, display and help tabs that were on the previous version of FireFox Menu bar top are apparently incorporated into the "FireFox" drop-down box in the latest version of the browser. I was unable to open those tabs earlier, so by the recommendation of the Support Forum, I have Firefox on my laptop. Now not only the tabs above are missing after this reset, but the drop down menu does not open in any submenus. What I see now is a box on the surrounded black screen, but sub menu selections such as save as, print, copy etc are not shown in the box. This is why the Navigator is not functional in its current state.
    Does anyone have a fix for this problem that will not delete my favorites and other content stored on Firefox? Please save me to return to Internet Explorer.

    Try disabling hardware acceleration in Firefox.

  • When exporting my image in LR I select my brand of water in the drop-down list. Then I need to select 'Edit watermark' since the same drop-down menu in order to replace it. When I do that and click 'done' the watermark disappears in the export me

    When exporting my image in LR I select my brand of water in the drop-down list. Then I need to select 'Edit watermark' since the same drop-down menu in order to replace it. When I do that and click 'done' the watermark disappears in the box menu to export. When I click on "Export" the image exports WITHOUT my watermark. Help, please. As I did about everything that has been suggested in this forum and I still have this problem.

    I saw that too. For now, the workaround is that if you select 'Edit watermark,' when you are done editing be sure to reselect the same watermark. If you do not, the watermark menu will be empty.

    It seems to be a known bug that occurs only in the current version. If all goes well, it can be fixed in the next update. There is a page for her on the Photoshop/Lightroom Feedback site. I've added my vote to the page:

  • First element of the ADF/JSF select a drop-down list is empty

    Hello

    I'm using ADF/JSF and SelectOneItemList. Everything works fine, but the first item in the drop-down list is empty. Therefore, unless the user clicks on the drop-down menu, empty everything he sees is a text box with a drop down arrow. How do I:

    1. Add "Select" to the element highest in the list, so that the box is not empty. For example. If the list has 'empty here', 'Car', 'Train', 'Plane' - how to have the first item indicated as "Select"?

    2 get the first item in the list to display in the empty box. For example. If the list has 'empty here', 'Car', 'Train', 'Plane' - how to have the first item indicated as "car"?

    Thank you

    Use the attribute unselectedLabel of the component
    unselectedLabel = "Select".
    or

  • The Drop Down Menu number of Excel spreadsheets?

    Trying to open an Excel file created by my boss in number. There a few in drop-down menus, (pictured below) and they will not display correctly. Many prefer using numbers than Excel, anyone know of any tricks to make this menu drop-down appear in numbers as in Excel?

    In numbers, they simply appear not at all. Help, please! Thank you

    In Excel, you can automatically fill a drop-down list with values within a specific range of cells through 'Data Validation '.

    Numbers have no drop-down menu, but it doesn't have a Menu called data format.  It is easy to populate a drop-down list with values manually; Select the cells that contain different values which you want to make a choice and format on the Shortcut Menu. The result will be something very similar to your screenshot.

    But in doing so fully automatic as in Excel is not currently possible in number.

    Numbers provides an attractive work environment, but if you frequently need to exchange documents with your boss and your boss uses Excel, then better use Excel.

  • Drop-down menu of Firefox address bar Sporatically stops working

    I had this problem for about a year and some parts of the year are worse than others, and now, according to the latest update of Firefox, this problem is at its absolute worst.

    The drop-down menu in the address bar of Firefox sometimes stops displaying my newest and popularly seen the websites that I have visited. Whenever I have updated Firefox, the problem goes away and he used to stay at the gap to end of weeks in a row, but now the drop stops working almost whenever I close Firefox after this last update a few days earlier.

    This problem persists in the Mode of Firefox safe and apparently appears randomly any plugins/extensions I can I have installed/enabled.

    I am at a complete loss here and would appreciate any help because this drop in the address bar is one of my favorite features in any browser, and it becomes annoying to have to reinstall the plugins more (when I use the Sync feature to reinstall the plugins, the problem is even worse).

    For problems with the file places.sqlite (bookmarks, historical) database, you can check in the Firefox profile folder.

    If the extension of Maintenance of places cannot repair the database places.sqlite file remove all places.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder to rebuild the database places.sqlite latest JSON Firefox backup in the folder bookmarkbackups.

  • My drop down menu changed search bar

    Everything I see that I get help on the search bar in the upper right corner shows the emblem of a little search engine. I don't have much, and I can't get it back. Worse still, when I start typing, I search point that I must now address a long list of terms of indefinable query from nowhere!

    I don't know how I changed all form the way it had been forever. I want to just my little drop down menu with a few indicators of search engine to this topic, and I just want to see my previous research, not what is trendy!

    Hi relem, I have already explained the reasoning behind the change: it is now much faster and easier to use different search engines that your browser by one on a wide base. If you want to do in the old search bar, you must first define a different engine in the search bar, search & then switch back (because the default value is also used in the address/home/new tab bar). It's a simple click!
