Browser problem (I think)

I have Firefox 5.0

One day, recently, I noticed that I no longer have the links beneath the URL bar. The links are the places I go most often — here, amazon, etc. I click I go there.

How might I get them back, please?

I’d suggest clicking on View, then Toolbars, and make sure there is a check besides Bookmarks Toolbar.

First of all, I do not have Firefox, and I do not know diddly about computers -BUT! BUT! BUT! I think I might know this one. Do not actually DO this until someone smarter than me comes along and confirms it, but I think it’s the right answer.

See if there’s a line at the top of your screen that says “file, edit, view” and things like that. Under “view” there should be an option called “toolbars” - click on it and see if selecting one of the options there puts your toolbar back in place.

Bingo!!

Thanks a lot!

Well, there’s your problem. You’re using a version from the future and therefore there’s a time paradox. Or did you mean 2.0? :wink:

Darn it. The one time I am actually correct about a computer thing, I’m late.

Darn it darn it darn it.

I’m only going to say this once…

Why do you people bother with Firefox when:

1)You already have IE on your computer…you can’t delete it so why not use it?

  1. Firefox uses resources and disk space

  2. see #1

It said (as I reread it Mozilla 5.0…Firefox 2.0.

You’re right as usual Q.E.D. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Isn’t IE the biggest Hackers’ target among Browsers?

On top of that, it’s Microsoft and that’s reason enough for me to use FF.

Because IE chokes, spits, and freezes at Flash, Adobe, and a bunch of other things plus it doesn’t block popups. For forums, especially, Firefox is much faster. And I really like the tabs. Open a couple or three instances of IE and your machine will balk. And talk about memory leak - IE’s the king. I can have six Firefox tabs open and my machine sings along happily.

Because IE sucks ass. And you CAN remove IE, if you are so inclined, though you probably shouldn’t.

IE also uses system resources and disk space, so this complaint is baseless.

I heard it frequently eats your bookmarks, never to be seen again.

Yes you were and I’m sorry I didn’t read your post first. :frowning: :frowning: :frowning:

For you it’d have been a little triumph, For PmP, perhaps, just another day at the office.

Maybe next time, LifeOnWry.

And if I may add, your statement is pure arrogance.

I’m only going to say this once. Up your ass.

Ok, I lied, and will say it twice…

Damn, you geeks sometimes really piss me off! A program already exists that does everything you want it to do, but some twerp thinks he can tweak it a little bit more, and evryone in the worlld is supposed to think it is hot shit. Why can’t you just use programs already in use? Yeah, I know. progress and evrything, but the “hackers” are already 2 steps ahead of you. Do you really think you can keep ahead of them? The best thing to do is not to try to beat them, but try to educate how they work.

:rolleyes:

Well, you’ve convinced me. I’m never using software my computer didn’t come with ever again! How silly of me to try new software thinking it might, y’know, actually be better or anything.

That was my point…

[sigh] sarcasm is wasted on the useless…

Get IE7 and not IE6 and most, if not all, of those problems disapear. I am willing to bet that the resourse and disk space problems disappear as well.

Plus, as insinuated but not proven, you cannot run WXP w/o IE.
Thus, no matter what browser you USE, you still need to [b}install** IE.

Thus, you may as well use it.

Since the OP’s problem was solved in post #2, let’s all try to remember which forum we’re in.
scottkris. I’m not sure why you brought up something that would be better discussed in Great Debates. Try hard not to do this.
