URGENT - recent update changed screen - all height & skinny

My monitor is square.  How can I change the display back as it was so it fits on the screen?  The text is very difficult to read and scroll to the low bar is off the screen completely.

Hello

Right-click on an empty part of your desktop, and then click Properties. Click on the settings tab, drag the slider to the right. This should give the native resolution of your monitor. If not you may need to get the latest drivers for the graphics card.

If that makes things too small, you can try to slide to the left to get a lower resolution but I suggest using only a resolution that keeps the 4:3 ratio (assuming that's what you mean by square). Type 4:3 resolutions are 1280 x 1024, 1024 x 768 and 800 x 600.

  • After the recent update of Firefox, all my navigation toolbar menu options have disappeared, including my favorites.

    The only features that I see at the top of the browser page are the back button forward, the URL text field, the star to bookmark a page and the search field.

    Make sure that you are not running Firefox mode full screen with all the hidden toolbars.

    • Press F11 to toggle mode full screen (file/Firefox > fullscreen)

    If the menu bar is hidden, then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, which should make the convening of menu bar.

    Make sure the toolbars like the toolbar 'Navigation' and the 'personal bar' are visible: "view > toolbars".

    • Is he missing elements then open the window customize via "view > toolbars > customize" or "Options of > Firefox > toolbars" (Windows)
    • If a missing element is located in the toolbar palette and then bring her back in the window customize the toolbar
    • If you don't see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette, then click on the "Restore default" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

  • Capacity lost to bookmark pages after recent updates

    Firefox has been working great until recent updates of the version 39.

    I have now lost my ability to bookmark a page. When I click on the star icon as I always got it, the Star turns bright blue and gives the appearance that the bookmark is transferred - or "thrown in"-the bookmark icon. But page never appears anywhere in my favorites.

    Before when I clicked on the star, I've always had a box that would allow me to change the name I wanted the bookmark for the name of the bookmark and the Bookmark menu different locations I could choose as to where I wanted to go. Now I don't get any box.

    I know this must be a consequence of the recent update changes and not something in my computer because I have never had this simulation to "launch" the bookmark before. Or the brilliant blue star.

    OK, try clicking on default settings, as shown - controls customize Firefox, buttons, and toolbars.

    If it doesn't it try Mode without failure of Firefox 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.

    If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    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.

    If still no joy, try refresh (called "Reset" in older versions of Firefox) which can resolve many issues by restoring Firefox as his default from factory and save your bookmarks, history, passwords, cookies, and other essential information.

    Note: When you use this feature, you will lose all the extensions, toolbar customizations, and certain preferences. See article Firefox Refresh - reset modules and parameters for more information.

    Refresh for Firefox:

    1. Open the troubleshooting information page using one of the following methods:

      • Click the menu button

        click Help

    and select troubleshooting information. Should open a new tab containing your troubleshooting information.

  • If you are unable to access the Help menu, type Subject: support in your address bar to bring up the troubleshooting information page.
  • At the top right of the page, you should see a button that says 'Refresh Firefox' ('reset Firefox' in older versions of Firefox). Click on it.
  • Firefox closes. Once the update process is complete, Firefox will display a window with the imported information.
  • Click Finish and reopen Firefox.
  • This corrects the problem? Please report to us!

    Thank you.

  • Recent update has changed my screen resolution?

  • I've recently updated with the latest version of Firefox. Bookmark icons to the left of the bookmark name are all gone. Can provide you a simple solution to this? Thank you!

    Recently updated to version 9.0.1 version of Firefox. Restarted. All my bookmark icons were not visible. They are available if I go to my Menu bookmarks - view all bookmarks. They are just not visible in the tab bookmarks at the top of Firefox (where it is the most useful).
