Why the "Reset Firefox" button is missing?

I have several preferences FF and preferences add-on which will not remain after a reboot. I put in them, but after I restart FF and fact, the old settings are back. Dutifully, I followed the instructions of the support mozilla site and tried all options to resolve the problem:

(1) search for locked preferences - no, not locked
(2) User.js overides - no file
(3) reset default - Firefox is not possible, the "reset" button is completely absent

I used the reset several times, now, that was pretty discouraging. But it is very suspicious that I don't find the reset all button, now.

Someone seems to have asked this before, but the answer just make a new profile has been horrible. This button is supposed to be there or it is not. If this is supposed to be there, then it is a very serious security problem. Something is wrong and I need to find what. Why is this happening?

You see only the reset button on the page "help > troubleshooting information" If you use the profile that is marked as default value = 1 in the profiles.ini file.

If you do not have the "Reset" button then either use the Profile Manager to create a new profile or use the Profile Manager to start with the current default profile for the reset button in Firefox.

  • The orange Firefox button and the Navigation toolbar is on the same line

    Someone interfered with my Firefox settings and goofed a bit. Now the orange Firefox button and the Navigation toolbar are on the same line/line, as shown in the image below. Can you help me with the Firefox orange button at the top of the Navigation toolbar (as usually is the case)?

    http://PUU.sh/4NoO8.jpg

    Thank you very much! I had this same problem. I'd rather have my tabs at the top, in line with the orange. For some reason any that an add-on reset my 'browser.tabs.drawInTitlebar' to false, which looked horrible and wasted a whole bar of space by the presence of a large space empty on the top of my screen. It fixed my problem!

  • I really, really, really need the orange firefox button back.

    I can't use Firefox more if the orange Firefox button is not returned. Boredom and anger caused this is seriously to the point that it causes me physical pain. I would like to make a few comments about this change.

    1. you (Firefox, employees and owners) seeks only to the amount of work devoted to this update. Work means nothing if the result is not quality.
    2. you claim to do more customizable with this update of Firefox, but you do not allow users on features most useful and the most chic of Firefox after this update.
    3. the new menu button does not contain the functionality of the old menu button as the button menu old gave users the features of the full menu bar and new menu button is not. The function to be more important than design in Firefox.
    4. I get that you just want to remove options that people use not much, but it's what toolbars and icons are for. When someone clicks on a menu, which should be the end 'all' with regard to the features of a program. When a user has to click around several places for more features, there is a poor navigation system. Steve Krug wrote this beautiful book titled "Don't make Me Think" that does a good job explaining how Web sites should set their navigation system so that it facilitates the user functionality.
    4. you (the admin/tech read the answer to this question) probably start role your eyes and think about how I'm just another annoying user who can't handle change and should stop complaining and accept that Firefox is something good for me.
    5. There are 99.9% chance that my complaint will get a "I'm sorry you feel that way," answer and nothing will happen to this topic.
    6. I didn't that Mozilla was the type of business that worked this way.

    Please prove me wrong and help solve this problem. If I want a browser with tabs, rounded at the top and a menu button style phone mobile at the top right, I use Chrome. At least their right menu button is functional. Also, I don't know where you guys get this heat map thing, but throughout the history of computing, everyone learns from the first day that the upper right corner is where you get to close things, the upper left corner is where you will find your menu.

    P.S. I hope that anyone reading that this complaint would know better that to ask what I mean by less functional, but just in case, I'll explain. When I click on the file on the menus of old school system which is always permitted, I can choose the new tab, new window and new private window. In the menu mobile style of three lines, I can't choose the new tab. On the file menu, I can choose to open the file, Save Page or email link. Under the menu again, I can only choose Save Page. It comes to the definition of the removal of the feature of a menu button.

    in order to get the old menu back, you could use https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/

  • I don't have the new Firefox button

    I've updated our pc XP to Firefox and I don't have the new Firefox button - I still have the old file - menu Edit etc at the top. The tabs etc. have all changed - it's just the button which has not appeared.
    My husband has another XP user on the same pc, and it doesn't have the button again, oddly enough (since, presumably, we are both running the same software!).

    The Firefox button is only a default feature for Windows Vista and 7. To make the button Firefox on Windows XP, go to:

    View > toolbars and UNCHECK the menu bar. Then the Firefox button should appear. Please read this article for more details:

    To get the new user interface, you must hide the menu bar. Do, in the view menu, select Toolbars, then click on the entrance to the "Menu bar".

    If you need to access the menus, you can press Alt or F10 to display temporarily.

  • The Firefox button is missing in my worm 4.0 menu bar - where can I find the command to add it back in?

    I just downloaded Firefox Ver 4.0 and have been customization - one thing I can't understand... I HAVE the menu bar (File, Edit, View, etc.), but the "Firefox" button (which indicates to your image 'customize' the first button before the menu drop down "File") is missing. I watched all I can think to add, but have had no luck.

    For more details, the operating system is Vista (ugh, but I'm stuck with it for now).

    Would love to help! Thank you very much.

  • Firefox 4 the "Close tab" button is missing from the "File" menu drop-down

    In Firefox 4, the "Close tab" button appears not in the "file" pull down.

    This button appears in Firefox 3.6.16 but is now gone.

    I need when I have two windows open, each with one tab open and I want to close a window.

    The only option presented to me is "Quit", that closes both windows...

    It would be good [if they insist on the order being missing] to have SOMETHING beyond the CTRL-W command [which fortunately works again]. I thought it was a windows application and not BACK. I hope that the command is available in a menu drop down, especially because it has a long history of existence in a rational place.

    It will be interesting justify how to remove a menu command dropdown is somehow "better".

  • Why the flat firefox image on the start with WASD page when you click it?

    When you select at home, the normal firefox icon flashes on and is replaced by an image tilted slightly with another small character to the left of the head of Fox and the words click me! If you click on it, the same image now has the letters WASD and a key appears in the centre of the world where the Fox is wrapped around. I didn't know this until the update to the latest verson 33.

    If you prefer not to see excerpts on the topic: home page or otherwise have problems with a snippet of code, you can set the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref an empty string on the topic: config page.
    Delete the storage\persistent\moz-safe-about + House in the closed Firefox with Firefox profile folder (Firefox '3-bar' menu button > exit/Quit) remove code snippets stored in IndexedDB and make Firefox to use a default extract value.
    You can reset the pref browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl through the context menu on the default to reactivate the code snippets and make Firefox recreate the moz-trunk-fort-about + folder.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after changing the value of the preference of browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl.

  • The orange firefox button hidden even when the menu bar is not checked. 29.0.1

    As noted, my orange firefox navigation button has disappeared since the update to 29.0.1. I tried the two manual deactivation of the menu bar and boot into safe mode. In both cases, the only thing indicated is the tab bar, the address bar and the bookmark toolbar.

    29 of Firefox and later versions have the interface Australis which seems different from the UI in Firefox 28 and older versions.

    • With the interface Australis orange Firefox menu button has been replaced by the three Menu of Firefox button at the right end of the Navigation bar on the bar
      A consequence of this new menu button is that you can no longer hide the Navigation toolbar
    • There is a star as the button at the right end of the search bar on the Navigation toolbar to bookmark the current web page and a "Show bookmarks" button next to it to open bookmarks in a menu drop-down

  • Firefox button is missing. Windows 8.1 help?

    Initially, I was trying to install a java (JRE) plugin, and most of the solutions told me to visit the Add-ons of firefox via the firefox button. The top of my web browser looks like this:

    so I clicked the button on top that looked like a firefox button and here is the result:

    Then I saw images of what it is supposed to look like (thank you, mozilla, to provide those. I mean that) and thought that maybe I just an outdated version or broken, so I uninstalled and re-downloaded. It looks the same. I feel kinda like egoraptor gamegrumps for their beautiful little moment. (if you don't get the reference, it is not important)

    You can open the Tools menu and select Add-ons, or you can press Ctrl + Shift + A.

  • Why my "Reset form" button didn't reset all fields?

    I use Adobe Acrobat X Pro and added a "Reset form" button on my form to fill out. It clears all fields, despite the fact that all the fields are selected to be cleared in the properties of the button. I deleted and added the button several times and I have the problem on a recurring basis. Any idea?

  • Why the 'Cancel loading' button is not placeable right next to the button "reload page"?

    Hi people,

    I have a quite unusual question with Nightly build 15.0a1 for Windows x 64 (x 64).
    I can't place the button to cancel loading a Web page next to the page reload button - everywhere else, it is possible to place, but not in this exact spot. If I do, it becomes visible in the wizard of customization but not in normal display mode. In normal mode, it is visible when placed on other places.

    This is how it works.

    You must place something in the space between the button Reload and Stop seeing them as two separate buttons or switch otherwise the two buttons.

    • Set the "Reload - Stop" order for a combined "Stop/Reload" button.
    • Set the order of 'Stop - Reload' or separate them otherwise (space or separator) for two separate buttons.
  • Why all the close tab buttons are missing?

    Yesterday, I was using Firefox 25.0.1 without any problem. Today, I launched Firefox, only to discover that the buttons [X] for the tabs have disappeared! Instead, I saw a single button [x] on the right side of the tab bar, that closes the active tab. There is no changes/updates I made to Firefox between yesterday and today. I checked the browser.tabs.closeButtons setting and seen that it is always set to 1. Change it has no effect. What is going on?
    Thank you
    Teraforce88

    I have this same problem. Firefox 25.0.1 worked well, with tabs as usual, until a few hours ago, when they simply disappeared. As the OP, I have the "Hide Tab Bar with a tab" extension. I disabled it and the ' x was immediately visible once again, so there must be something with the extension itself which causes make them disappear.

    The developer of this extension says that the next update should take care of it, and it should be in the next few hours or maybe a day. You can see this exchange here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hide-tab-bar-with-one-tab/reviews/
