Browser Appearance Help Please

Can't Post | Private Reply

I use Firefox but the same condition exists in IE. My File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, etc tabs at the top of my browser window have disappeared. If I do an: ALT-T, they will reappear until I click on something. Anyone have any ideas or solutions?

Never had this happen before and have no clue how or why it happened.

While you are unravellings mysteries, please explain why I can no longer open my Facebook account with IE-8. Facebook will not accept my login. IE-8 worked fine until a couple of days ago, then wham.....
No problem with Chrome

I can only tell you that using IE 8 with Windows 7, I have no problem with my Facebook account.

As long as you appear to be in the trying new things mode, Firefox now has Firefox 4 in beta version. I downloaded it this morning and have played with it a bit. Appearance is quite different and I am not sure that I care for the new layout or features. It doesn't override your previous version, so you have an either/or choice of which you use.
