Help my Firefox is coming apart ..

1.I cant enable personas and have tried searching with no results ... The buttons do press but nothing happens.. I have Custom Personas installed.

2. My side scrollbar is missing .. there is a blank space in the correct spot but no slider ...

Yesterday I deleted ALL my firefox bookmarks by mistake .. trying to fix an icon duplication problem ...

I am not a wizz on computers .. so need simple help instructions.

I like Firefox and dont want to have to change but I am spending too much time trying to fix Firefox ...

Many thanks.

Regards Richard

Try to disable all extensions and select the DEFAULT theme (Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes) if you are currently using a custom theme.

See:

You can also try to disable hardware acceleration.

  • Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

Thank you cor-el... I have managed to get my scrollbar back but not my personas..

I disabled ALL my extensions but still cant change personas ..

The only way it will work is if I load from Firefox personas pages.

So, you see personas install in Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes, but you can't select them?
