I don't see the status bar at the bottom of the screen. How can I get that back?

Something has changed. The status bar disappeared. The only way I seem to be able to leave Firefox is to close.

First of all, you can check that Firefox is not in his view full screen where the Windows task bar is hidden. The F11 key toggles between the normal modes and full screen.

If Firefox hides the taskbar of Windows in normal mode, a file that stores the dimensions of Windows Firefox may be damaged. If you are not able to resize the window manually, you can delete this file for Firefox back to its original size.

To try to manually resize:

Press Alt + space to display the system menu of the Firefox window, and then click the size (or press S) and press the arrow down once, then the arrow upwards once. This will usually move the bottom of the Firefox window to the visible area of the screen. If it is not visible, try pressing the arrow upwards several times, or for a while. To complete the editing of size, press ENTER.

If the window is maximized, then size is grayed out. This is normal, and this method won't help.

To delete the settings file:

Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
  • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
  • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.

Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
  • (menu bar) File > Exit

Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old.

Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

You can activate missing bars (menus, toolbar bookmarks bar) using the list on the toolbar, which you can view by using one of the following:

  • Right-click on a zone empty of the tab bar, or click the "+" button on the tab bar
  • Press the Alt key to activate the classic menu bar, and then view > toolbars
  • on the Customize tab, use the button "show/hide Toolbar" (controls, buttons, and Toolbars Customize Firefox)

Any improvement?

  • Outlook Express has lost more than a year value of the mail - how can I get that back?

    OE 6.00.2900.5512 xpsp 0804.3 - 2008 Win XP - SP3 and all updates applied.

    I do NOT have an identity that is separate in OE, but in local folders, I put about 5 different folders and mail, as well as rules of mail from for address X, goes into the X folder. mail coming to address go to folder Y etc..

    One of my folders (let's call it the X folder) have mail in there go back until 2008. There is, to the closing of OE, three days I received the message that to save space, OE wanted compact stuff, so I let him do as usual.

    Everything continued to work as usual, but yesterday, something has gone wrong. I turned on the computer at around 10:00, received and responded to approximately five emails in X folder (as well as e-mails to and from other addresses/folders) and everything was great.

    However, a few hours later, I noticed the missing emails. The last email now in the folder X is dated from 16/11/2009 and they age, which dates back to 24/02/2008 - but all the mail in the folder X dated between 11/16/2009 and disappeared, something like 900, maybe even a thousand or several messages, gone.

    That's happened and how do I get it all back?

    Thank you.

    PS all other folders are normal and have letter of 2009 and 2010 in them.

    Two reasons the most common for what you describe is disruption of the compacting process, (never touch anything until it's finished), or bloated folders. More about that below.

    Why OE insists on compacting folders when I close it? :

    About file Corruption:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/IE/community/columns/filecorruption.mspx

    Recovery methods:

    If you use XP/SP2 or SP3, and are fully patched, then you should have a backup of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin (or possibly the message store), copied as bak files.

    To restore a folder bak on the message store folder, first find the location of the message store.

    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

    In Windows XP, the .dbx files are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in the Solution Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder options | View.

    Close OE and in Windows Explorer, click on the dbx to the file missing or empty file, then drag it to the desktop. It can be deleted later once you have successfully restored the bak file. Minimize the message store.

    Open OE and, if the folder is missing, create a folder with the * exact * same name as the bak file you want to restore but without the .bak. For example: If the file is Saved.bak, the new folder should be named saved. Open the new folder, and then close OE. If the folder is there, but just empty, continue to the next step.

    First of all, check if there is a bak file already in the message. If there is, and you have removed the dbx file, go ahead and rename it in dbx.

    If it is not already in the message, open the trash and do a right-click on the file bak for the folder in question and click on restore. Open the message store up and replace the .bak by .dbx file extension. Close the message store and open OE. Messages must be in the folder.

    If messages are restored successfully, you can go ahead and delete the old dbx file that you moved to the desktop.
     
    If you have not then bak copies of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin:

    DBXpress run in extract disc Mode is the best chance to recover messages:
    http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/default.aspx

    And see:
    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4

    A general warning to help avoid this in the future:

    Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They finally are damaged. Create your own folders defined by the user for mail storage and move your mail to them. Empty the deleted items folder regularly. Keep user created folders under 300 MB, and also empty as is possible to default folders.

    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:
    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

    And backup often.

  • my "see the arrow of the hidden icon disappeared from my system tray. How can I get that back?

    I was trying to see the button 'remove hardware safely '. I tried a number of things on the option "see the hidden icon", like the keyboard on the touch screen. I would like to try something, apply, and cancel it. So, I tried the last option, the arrow "show the hidden icon" disappeared and I couldn't get it back.

    How can I get that back?

    for windows 8.1

    (1) open the control panel (right click on the windows icon [start] in the lower left corner of the screen and select "Control Panel" from the pop up menu)

    (2) type "notification" in the search box at the top right of the Control Panel window

    3) click "Notification area icons" in the the come up search results

    (4) at the bottom of the window that appears, uncheck the box that is always called "show all icons and notifications on the taskbar.

    Your "up arrow" ("see the hidden icons arrow) with the system status bar icons should reappear and filled with icons, giving you more space on the taskbar and a more pleasant and uncluttered appearance.

    Versions of Firefox 3.6 + have a feature to allow the user to hide the Menu bar.

    Press the Alt key to temporarily show the Menu bar, then open view > toolbars and select menu bar, so it has a check mark.

    The F10 can also be used on most PCs to temporarily reveal the menu bar.

  • change the size of the icon screen '100% ' disappeared. How can I get that back.

    I had my computer fixed recently.  No, I have to change the size of the content on the screen to go when I'm on the internet?  I use 100% by the icon at the bottom of my screen and it has now disappeared.  How can I get that back?  Why have I to change the size of the Web page after my computer has been repaired?

    I guess you're talking about Internet Explorer...
    He could reappear if you turn on the status bar.  To enable it, start Internet Explorer, and then
    View-> toolbars-> and make sure that there is a check in front of the "status bar".
    If you do not have a menu 'View' then press the 'Alt' key once.

    Also, you should be able to go to 100% by pressing the 'Ctrl' key while pressing "0" (zero).

    You can also zoom in and out by holding down the 'Ctrl' key and turning the mouse wheel.
