Firefox , how to restart?

[THAIPHUKET]

Firefox crashed, result was that 2 important ad-ons for Evernote were missing, Clearly and Web-Clipper, although both were still under ad-ons, I disabled both, However Restart button does´nt react. Restarting the pc doesn´t help either

How to get my 2 ad-ons to show up again next to address line?

[astral]

Addons can be deleted as well as stopped!!

Then re-install

Never not been offered the restart button but try

1. File Button at the top of the screen - Exit

2 Or you should be able to stop it from the icon on the tool bar at the bottom of your screen

Right click - Close Window

3 CNTRL - ALT - DELETE and kill is from the Task Manager

Then just restart FF

[ThaidDown]

If the addons are still enabled but just 'missing' from the address bar (or whatever they call it now) then you can, in the Firefox menu, go to View>Toolbars>Customise find the Evernote icon and just drag it to the position required.

Or as Astral says delete the addons and reinstall.

If I recall there isn't a restart button by default in the newer versions of Firefox. I think in your case, the restart button is provided by an extension. Uninstall whichever restart extension you've installed and reinstall like your other problematic extensions. There are several restart extensions. Search for "restart" at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/. Not all extensions work on all versions of Firefox. What version of Firefox are you using? Only use one restart extension, otherwise there's a possibility of extension conflict.

unfortunately Firefox is getting worse and worse

I changed half to Chrome already

I have no probs with the latest Firefox.

Thanks ThaiDown, that was easy, I like that I found everything under Customize. I found also a separate re-start button ( running FF 25) plus I rediscovered "turn-off -the lights" nice for watching youtube, etc

I would like to thank you for your responses=

E.g. I like to discover the most unlikely talents on the US or Britain´s X factor like this one

For those getting pissed off at Firefox's endless updates and incompatibility and crashes...

Pale Moon (Version 9.1)

Official website

Pale Moon comes from a developer who has been creating builds of Firefox and other Mozilla programs -- Thunderbird and SeaMonkey -- optimized for specific processors ever since Firefox was at Version 1.5. His 64-bit Firefox for Windows 64-bit is based on the Firefox 9.0.1 code base, which is the stable version officially released by Mozilla for Firefox 32-bit.

A benefit of Pale Moon is that it keeps to itself -- it functions separately, keeping any add-ons you install on it apart from any other version of Firefox that you may have on your computer, and not loading the add-ons and user profiles associated with the other Firefox.

There's a caveat to the memory usage results below: When Pale Moon runs, it also runs one or more separate processes in the background of Windows called ""Plugin Container for Palemoon". These processes ranged in number of one to three, and sizes from 8M to 25MB, when we tested the browser.

Here are the performance results:

Kraken: 6187.6 milliseconds

Time to load from cold start: 5.5 seconds

Memory usage with one blank tab open: 76MB

Time to open networkworld.com: 5.8 seconds

Memory usage with one tab open on networkworld.com: 106MB

I got Chrome too, but for some reason, any sites load-up takes much longer than Firefox,

plus many right-click function are missing on Chrome, e.g. email forwarding and others

PaleMOON is too risky for an layman like myself

Hardly ever have crashes or updates on Firefox

[astral]

I just experimented and added an Addon

I immediately go the button at the top right

asking me to Restart

PS I did come across and Addon that claimed to be Restartless

I have found Firefox to be V E R Y, VERY S L O W! and it gives instructions in Thai, which is okay because we are in Thailand but I thought they might at least run something in English for the FALANG.

Nothing wrong with my Firefox.
