When I click on the start menu, I can open one of the programs listed, but cannot open the Documents, computer, Control Panel, or whatever it is on the right columnetc.

Well they open but block minimsed on the taskbar lower... cannot be opened. However, if I try and access the Documents or any other object through a program for example, open Word, then documents... or attach a file to an email everything works fine... Thus, the folders are there are fine, just cannot be opened directly... Clues!

Your problem could relate to Associations of files, namely the right program is offered and used to open the file...

You may need to show hidden files. Type the Folder Options in the search box above the Start button and select view advanced settings and check that the box "display files and folders" and 'Hide protected operating system files' are not checked. You may need to scroll down to see the second element. You should also make sure that the box before "Hide extensions of known file types" is not checked.

In Windows Explorer, note the file of your selected file extension. Right-click on the file and select open with. Note the recommended program and view the details, including the extension of file here.

  • How is it when I click on the menu of the Applications in the Options screen, Firefox crashes?

    Whenever I open the tab Options in Firefox, I can access all items with the exception of the Applications menu. When I click on the Applications menu, Firefox freezes and the only way to fix is to open the Task Manager window and force a shutdown of Firefox. I use the latest version of Firefox and the updates of Windows 10.

    It is normal to have a slight delay, while Firefox generates the list. If you wait more than 10 seconds, there may be a problem with the settings file that Firefox is reading.

    As it is difficult to change, when there is a problem, we offer usually when you rename the file and allows Firefox to rebuild the Windows registry. Here's how:

    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

    Break while Firefox finishing his cleaning, then rename the mimeTypes.rdf to mimeTypes.old (or another name of your choice, in the case where you decide to roll back this experience).

    Launch Firefox back up again and return to the Options page to specify your preference. The list will load?

  • When I click on the menu button, why I can't see the historical option?

    According to the help instructions, in order to remove all or part of the history of my search, I'm supposed to click on the menu button and then select the option of history. However, when I click on the menu button, the story is not listed as one of the options.

    Hi, the button can be in 'other tools and features' in the section Customize the menu. If so, you can drag it to a location of your choice. If it is not visible, try clicking on Restore Defaults - more information - controls customize Firefox, buttons, and toolbars.

    You also bring up history by pressing Ctrl + H. Or you can bring up the menu bar (History tab) temporarily by pressing Alt, or if you want to stay there all the time, then right-click in the tab bar (but not on a tab) and a tick/check bar menu.

    If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

    Your user agent shows you are running Firefox in compatibility mode for Windows 98 (NT 4.10).

    • User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 4.10; rv:37.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/37.0

    Make sure that you are not Firefox running in compatibility mode.
    You can open the properties of the desktop Firefox shortcut via the context menu and check under the tab "compatibility".
    Make sure that all items are disabled in the tab "Compatibility" in the Properties window.

    Thanks for posting the details of your system. I'm skeptical about the "CompTool0234 Community Toolbar". Could you disable some add-ons and see if that helps.

    On this tab:

    Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > addons > Plugins category

    Disable «Conduit Plugin»

    On this tab:

    Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > addons > Extensions category

    Disable the CompTool0234 community toolbar.

    Then very probably a link will appear to restart Firefox to make the change. Does make a difference?

  • After the update to Firefox 17, when you click on the Add-ons menu, nothing happens. I can't access it at all.

    Hello JPV555, another user reported that tab mix plus can cause this problem - you have installed too? If so, please start firefox in safe mode, go to the addons - manager & keep the mixture to label more disabled until there is an update available for the extension.
