• Lost and replaced by a non-operational generic icon task bar items

  We just bought a new, fresh and clean, computer HP desktop with Windows 7. We have installed MS Office and some other tools that we use. We then implemented the taskbar with the tools that we use more. Some of them disappear and are replaced by a generic folder icon. When attempting to launch what it was, we are told that the item is missing and we want to remove the item from the task bar. This only happens with some icons, MS Office - ALL of them, and a few others we installed. This machine is new and has been used for anything except certain configuration and a bit of web browsing. I wasn't expecting to face something so important so early - as the first day! Anyone know what is happening? I saw the other, similar questions (but none where the program behind the icon is lost) and we can't do a system restore - definitely not yet!

  Any help to fix our new machine will be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you - Lawrence

• After installing elements task bar disappeared

  Since upgrading Firefox to Version 8, as the loaded updated version my ber task icons lost associations and now appear as an icon of typr whie unknown file.

  Understand that the problem is your Windows 7 icons are confused at least for MS Office, the view is to select "All programs" from the Windows start. It seems a little farfetched that Firefox would have changed icons on other applications and all of them fell in function both. If I understand the work Office applications and will appear separately on the Windows taskbar, but they have a generic application icon. It affects more than office. This loss of the correct icon affects the programs directly on the top of the Start Menu or the desktop or Quick Launch bar.

  He did 4 days you posted first. If you have not restarted your system, since you had the problem, you could try that.

  Looks like a solution here:

  If the problem recurs:

  Separate issue, turns to me like you're pinning of the tasks of the Windows taskbar, as Windows 7 hid the quick launch area. You can still use the Quick Launch bar and I have files that it contains.

  See the article #12 in my page on Windows 7 Home Premium (#steps)

  • point #12 - restore Quick Launch area for Win7 [Quick Launch - turn on or off - Windows 7 Forum] [links W7] and get rid of the title of quick launch, make a difference - just right-click on an empty area in the box-> Quick Launch (uncheck) "Show title" and (uncheck) "Display text" and then in the properties on the task bar (tab) "see the little icons.

  If you don't like the order applications open on the Windows taskbar, you can drag to rearrange the order. Items in the quick launch area can be sorted via the context menu.

• Why should I minimize Firefox to access my Windows task bar?

  My windows task bar are set to auto-hide. When I use Firefox, the windows taskbar will not open unless I minimize Firefox. This does not happen when I use Chrome or any other program. Someone at - it a way to solve this problem?

  You can be in full screen. Press < F11 >.

• Firefox does not open in full screen on the task bar and I have to go over it to see the web page.

  Firefox does not open in full screen on the task bar and I have to go over it to see the web page.

  Firefox window is sometimes "off screen" somehow. Often, you can force it to appear on the screen by right clicking on the thumbnail image just above the taskbar and choose expand. Does it work?

  A possible cause for this is that the file that stores the positions and sizes of window is corrupt. You can delete this file and Firefox will return to standard window resizing.

  #1 method: If you can get a zoomed window:

  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?

  #2 method: If you can not get a Firefox window for all:

  Close Firefox by right clicking the icon in the taskbar > close all windows.

  Using the Run dialog box (windows key + R) or the start search bar menu type or paste the following and press Enter to drill down to the profiles folder:

  %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
  

  Here you can see a folder - in this case, double-click that - or more than one case - in this case, double-click on in what looks like the most recently updated.

  Scroll down and 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?

  Then, to re - light bars, you can use one of the following methods to view the list of the toolbar, and then select the desired bars it:

  • Right click on a place empty on the tab bar (or the button '+')
  • Press the Alt key to activate the classic menu bar > view > toolbars
  • in customize mode > show/hide toolbars (see: Customize Firefox commands, buttons, and toolbars)

  To activate the menu bar, toolbar bookmarks or other bars, click it in the list.

• How can I prevent images or anything else of pinning to my icon in the task bar of Mozilla

  When I single click I noticed that images of images of the sites that I have visited on top of my taskbar icon. I never asked for them to be pinned and want to close this feature. Is this a problem of Windows 7 or Mozilla?

  See the tabs settings in "Options/Preferences > general" (topic: preferences #general):

• How to display multiple windows next to each other on top of the other in the bottom task bar

  When I open a new Firefox window, he stacked it on top of all others in the taskbar at the bottom. I wish they were next to each other. He used to do this. Now, I have to hover over the element ONLY Firefox in the bottom task bar and read the list to find the one I want to go to. It is a waste of time and tedious.

  How can I change this?

  I think that this is governed by your general taskbar setting. Please see the screenshot joint. To get this dialog box, right-click an empty area of the taskbar, and then choose Properties.

• Is it possible to display an image full screen; in other words, how to switch all the toolbars - including the status bar and the task bar?

  I found a few larger images (986 x 1024 and 2420 x 2514) I'd like to see on the entire screen. Is there a way to do this by enabling / disabling (then restore it later) of all toolbars - including the status bar and the task bar? Or is there an FF extension that will make perhaps even easier?

  Press F11 or select "full screen" in the menu. (If there is still floating toolbars around after that, do a right-click on the toolbar and remove the checkbox.)
