Hello,

When I open a new window of Firefox, it opens as a tab. But with the address bar missing, bookmarks gone, and Back, Forward, Reload not functional. The tab window is below the other toolbars and not at the top of the window.

I have to open 3-4 new windows to get a "normal" one. Has anyone else seen this?

A fix, please! Thank you.

You can try:

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.

  • Use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window to disable all extensions.
  • Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in Safe mode:

  • Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
  • Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)
