Show menu bar in firefox

Mozilla has released mockups that show how Firefox 4.0 conceivably might look, and two words spring to my mind: Google Chrome.Last week, Mozilla showed some mockups for the nearer-term Firefox 3.7 that eliminated the browser's title bar, replacing it with two drop-down menu buttons on the right, just like Chrome has had since its September 2008 debut. The Firefox 4.0 mockups show two options, one similar to the 3.7 ideas, and the other taking another step in the Chrome direction.Specifically, the second Firefox 4.0 mockup shows the browser tabs on top where once there was a window title bar. That's the same approach that Google picked with Chrome, a view of which you can see below.Mozilla is looking for comment on the designs, which, the browser developer takes pains to note, are "for brainstorming/exploration" and aren't final.Of the "more contentious Tabs-on-Top concept," Mozilla says advantages include that it saves vertical space and removes visual complexity. On the flip side, it's different, and moving user interface elements confuses people. Also on the negative side, the missing title bar means people see only a truncated Web page title in the tab.For Firefox, putting tabs on top meshes conceptually with Electrolysis, aka Content Processes, an under-the-covers change that will make each tab a separate computing process. That carries potential performance, stability, and security advantages, but requires more memory.The Firefox 4.0 mockups also show a combination button to the right of the address bar that changes behavior depending on what the browser is up to. The button can be used to start loading a page whose address has been typed, to stop loading if it's in the process of doing so, and to reload it if it's finished loading.

Updated July 29, 2020When it comes to computer repair, the most common problem I find is browser corruption. Malicious browser extensions are the most common way a browser can get corrupted. So here's how to clean up and reset Mozilla Firefox.I've shown how to clean up and reset Google Chrome and Internet Explorer, so this article shouldn't be any surprise. What might surprise you is that I have all three browsers installed on my personal computer, and Firefox is my default browser. Each has its pros and cons, but since Firefox is a product of the Mozilla Foundation (a non-profit organization), I prefer to support them.I've always thought of Mozilla Firefox as a cross between Internet Explorer and Google Chrome, having the best elements. Case in point is the way you can access the options in Firefox. You can either use the Menu button in the upper right-hand corner (the button with three (3) horizontal bars, similar to the three dots in Chrome) or enable the Menu Bar on top of the browser window (similar to Internet Explorer). To get the Menu Bar, just right-click the blank area above the Address Bar and select Menu Bar. And some options can only be accessed by using the Menu Bar, but I'll talk about that later in this article.Let's start with the necessary options. If you're using the Menu Button, select Options; if you're using the Menu Bar, select the Tools pull-down menu and then Options. This will bring up the Firefox preferences. On the left-hand side is a list with several selections; General, Home, Search, Privacy & Security, Sync, Extensions & Themes, and Firefox Support.The first panel on the left-side menu is General and is where you will find the most basic settings. These settings are mainly personal preferences that configure

The preferences section of the Safari menu, click on the ‘Advanced tab. In the menu that appears, enable the checkbox ‘Show Develop Menu in Menu Bar’.Step 8: Empty CacheFrom the menu bar, you should click on ‘Develop’, and then from the list, choose ‘Empty Caches’. Remember to accept the command in the pop-up message.Step 9: Disable Safari ExtensionsGo back to the ‘Preferences’ option in the Safari menu and click on the ‘Extensions’ tab.Step 10: Select the Extension to Disable and Uninstall ItIn the extensions tab, select the Extension on the left and deselect the checkbox next to it; to disable that Extension, now you can uninstall it.Enjoy a Faster Safari Browsing ExperienceNow that you have reset your Safari browser, it should work faster and without any issues the next time you use it.If you are looking for another fast and secure browser, you can look at Google Chrome or Firefox as well.

The Firefox launcher icon and selecting 'Profile Manager' will open a window like this:Anyways, enough talk, here's how to get it in 4 easy steps:Step 1: Backup the file..sudo cp /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop.backupStep 2: Open the terminal and type in..sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktopStep 3: Apparently, Firefox already supports the New Window quick list item. So, find the code that begins with a line that looks like this: X-Ayatana-Desktop-Shortcuts=NewWindow; This line will be followed by some code. Now, delete the line and the lines below it.Step 4: Add following code to the file, press Ctrl+S and exit.

Then search for the program and drag it to the Unity bar again. The Quicklist should be visible by now.If something goes wrong, type the following commands.
