My Firefox Toobar is visible but notworking. No Bokmarks, tools, view, etc.

This is the second time this week my firefox toolbar has stopped working. It is visible, but does not. No file, editing, display, history, bookmarks, tools or help.

Hello kycopmom, try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

  • Click the menu button

    click Help

    then select restart with disabled modules.

When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

In addition, please Update Firefox to the latest version.

Thank you

    Hello Bill.

    To restore the provision of your interface, go in view > toolbars > customize... > Restore Default Set.

    If you don't see the menu bar, press ALT or F10 from your keyboard to make it temporarily visible. If you want it to be visible at all times, go in view > toolbars > Menu bar, or right click on the Navigation bar (for example, the Reload button), and then select menu bar.

    If this does not help, right-click the navigation toolbar, select Customize... and click on restore by default. If it does not immediately appear, try pressing ALT or F10.

    Att/yahoo updated my email, which suggests to select Firefox as the browser, but how to get back the taskbar?

    Hi, you are missing the taskbar Windows, which usually appears at the bottom of the screen? Firefox normally does not block the taskbar if you do not use the mode full-screen. To check if you are using full-screen, you can use the F11 key that toggles between full screen and normal mode.

    Or if you meant the menu bar (File, Edit, View), you have two options:

    (1) display on request: press the ALT key to press F10 to display bar temporarily

    (2) time full display: you can use one of the following methods to view the list of the toolbar, and then select menu bar it:

  • Firefox is already running but is not responding. The old process of Firefox must be closed to open a new window.

    When I try to open Firefox, I get this message:
    "Firefox is already running but is not responding. The old process of Firefox must be closed to open a new window. »
    I then clicked close firefox, but the problem was solved not so I uninstalled and reinstalled firefox, but it's the same thing.
    At this point, I went to support Mozilla and tried the steps described in the article, "Firefox is already running but is not responsible for - How to fix error message", but the firefox.exe process was not in the processes tab in windows Task Manager. While he was in the Details tab, when I tried to put an end to the process, I received this message:

    "The operation could not be completed. Access is denied. "

    What can I do to fix this?

    Thank you.

    Usually when you stop and restart Windows, Firefox is not running and can be started normally.

    Firefox is set to start automatically with Windows? Microsoft has a utility to investigate what is set to happen at startup: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx

    It is possible that something is triggering a process in your default browser and it is the hanging of Firefox. You can try to change your default browser to IE (IE can offer to do when you start) before the shutdown and restart Windows to see if it makes a difference.

    You are able to start Firefox in Safe Mode or start the Profile Manager?

    (1) safe Mode

    It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

    You can start Firefox in Safe Mode by holding down the SHIFT key when you start Firefox. (If you get directly in a new window, you must exit all Firefox Windows first).

    A small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not reset).

    It will start?

    (2) the Profile Manager

    This assumes that firefox.exe is not running.

    Start in Manager profiles using Start > Search box (or run):

    firefox.exe -P
    

    When you get the Profile Manager window, do not delete anything!

    No matter what time you want to switch profiles, you exit Firefox and return to this dialog box.

    If you select your default profile and click Start, Firefox start?

    Hello. My Firefox crashes constantly on. I get "Firefox does not. But I can't reset it. When I do, I always get the "well this embarrassing" error message.

    How can I sort my Firefox, if I can't reset it?

    Hi IanFeachnie,
    I'm sorry to hear that Firefox crashes when you try to reset. Have you considered a fresh reinstall?

    Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

    Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
      • Windows:

        • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
      • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
      • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

    More information on the resettlement of Firefox can be found here.

    WARNING: Do not use an uninstaller to third parties as part of this process. This could permanently delete your Firefox profile data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and passwords saved. They can be retrieved easily unless they have been backed up on an external device! See back up and restore the information contained in the profiles of Firefox.

    Please report to say if this helped you!

    Thank you.

  • Re-uploaded because there was no access to the web, and it is not yet. Opens in private browsing, no Firefox tab is visible, so I can't do anything.

    I don't remember having chosen Private Browsing until I deleted Firefox on my computer. After you download from the Web site, the same screen appears. It does not resemble the Web site displays. I have a screenshot, but don't see a way to fix it here.
    The top line is blue background of Windows and said "Start Mozilla Firefox - Mozilla Firefox (private browsing) Page".
    Lower than that of the context Tan the usual File, Edit, View etc.
    Lower than a tab with: the image of Fox and the "Mozilla Firefox Start Page.
    Thaat below: arrow, arrow, box "go to a Web site", and arrears on the right a blue g and a tab drop down to search engines, down for downloads and the symbol of the House.
    bottom line usual Google that shows that my most used bookmarks
    The large area below that contains the symbol of the Fox in the Center above the search box (which does not). In the upper right corner is "mozilla" gray type.
    Crossing the lower part is a clear grey banner with "downloads, Favorites, history, modules, sync and Settings" with their symbols above.
    I had to remove PC Matic Supershield to get the download to work at all, and now after hours of tests, I am right where I started.

    Make sure that you are not Firefox running in (permanent) private browsing mode.

    • Tools > Options > privacy > Firefox will be: "use the custom settings for history".
    • Uncheck the box: [] "always use the navigation mode private.

    You can check for problems with preferences and try to rename or delete the file prefs.js and possible prefs - numbered # .js and a user.js file possible to restore the values all default prefs.

    Try to start the computer in safe mode Windows with network support (on the startup screen, press F8) as a test to see if that helps.

    One possible cause is security software (firewall, antivirus) that prevents or limits Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

    Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

  • Firefox is already running but is not responding? Simple answers don't seem to work

    I started Firefox earlier today and received a message about a problem with Firefox and he had to be reset. Because the other option seemed worse than the reset, and Firefox Reseting seemed relatively painless, I clicked OK. A short message popped up on the registration of passwords, bookmarks, etc. with success. Then a small window pops up, saying it was cleaning of Firefox. While the process seemed to freeze. I liquidated it, killed at any process of firefox running and attempted to restart Firefox, when I received the message "Firefox is already running, but does not." There is a folder on my desktop labeled 'old Firefox data' which I assume is from Firefox reset (it is also now a copy of the profile on my desk, just in case).

    https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/Firefox-already-running-not-responding

    I found this and tried to work through it, but it doesn't seem to help.

    (1) Ther' are no Firefox.exe in my task manager, nor is there a process plugin-container.

    (2) I deleted the file "parent.lock" in both the profile (which is just a bunch of jumbled letters and numbers with 'default' in it) and the record of the old Firefox. However, these files were just "parent.lock" not "parent.lock.parentlock".

    (3) did not change the name on it, so unless the reset did before she locked herself, I don't know what to change it to.

    (4) it is not a file share, so...

    (5) this could be a possibility. The folder of Firefox that my profile is 'Read only' is, but I can't not to change cela. Everytime I go in, turn off the 'Read only' option and tell him to propagate the change through subfolders, it seems to work, but when I check the properties 10 seconds later, 'Read Only' is checked again.

    Sounds that the profiles.ini was corrupted when you remove the old default profile and adding the new profile.

    You can have security software that preventing to change the Firefox file.

    You use the Profile Manager to restore an existing profile or create a new profile.

    A "Reset" creates a new default profile with a timestamp attached and is trying to import some settings of the old profile, leaving the old profile intact, including the (invalid) cache folder (topic: cache) can take up to 1 GB.

    Versions of Firefox 15 + will move the old profile folder "old Firefox Data-#" folder on the desktop that gets a figure if you use reset several times, so you can no longer use the Profile Manager to return to the old profile.
