Help Please With Plugins....

[trt]

I keep getting panel up saying plugin not working or F/F busy, and I cant get lap top to do much.
Its taken me ages to get on A/B.

I am on F/Fox, windows 8, Thanks.

Thanks chair, have checked so see how it goes.

Oh dear,

After following F/F instructions, it seems ok, but have lost all my favourette sites that were on my bar near the top.

How do I get them back?

^^^ If you just mean that the menu bar is missing (so that you can't see 'File', 'Edit', 'View', etc), simply right-click at the top of your screen and put a tick against 'Menu Bar'.

If you've got the menu bar but 'Bookmarks' is empty, please post again. (Firefox keeps back-up copies of your bookmarks file, so all is not lost!).

Thanks Chris,

I've got the menu bar back now, but below that I used to have most of websites I used daily, like A/B, FB, hotmail etc.

I also have the adverts back on here, which I didnt use to have + my spell check isnt working!

[trt]

I also have a green line near the top, which says, ''Your subscription has been removed''!

You seem to have reset Firefox (i.e. returned it to its 'out of the box' state), resulting in the loss of all your extensions. (To check, go to Tools > Add-ons > Extensions to see what's there).

So I'm guessing that you'll need to reinstall this
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-gb/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/
and this
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/british-english-dictionary-2/
(together with any other extensions you may have been using)

You'll also need to enable the bookmarks toolbar:

Crossed posts! (I hadn't seen the 'green line' bit).

As you seem to have partially reset Firefox anyway, it might be best to do the whole thing properly BEFORE what I've just written. To do so, go to Help > Troubleshooting Information and click on Refresh Firefox. That takes your browser back to its 'out of the box' state but still preserves your bookmarks.

OK Chris,

Im getting there slowly, and all bookmarks are there, but dont have my used most sites on a toolbar near the top.

I am ok for a bit, as dont want to take up your time, so will come back later after a breather. Ta Chris.

[trt]

All back to normal Chris, thanks so much, and also Chair :-)

[trt]

gozunk, ???????

[trt]

I have just realised that my spell check that I download, seems to be not in action when typing here or other sites.

[SlackAlice]

Go to Firefox Options scroll down to Advanced and then on the General tab make sure you have a 'tick' in the box "Check my spelling as I type"

[trt]

It is already ticked Alice!

[Buenchico]

Have you got the British English Dictionary installed? (See my second link, above).

[trt]

Yes Chris, did that the other day when you sent it.

[trt]

Got it back now, thanks,,,,,,,
