Totally messed up TS site:

What did I do wrong, besides installing v17?
Could it be the skin I am using?

Why are you using FF 17? Perhaps you should try the the latest version, namely FF 26.0. TS loads fine for me with that version.
Because that version was supposed to be stable, and would not continually have new version numbers ad infinitum.
And other reasons which I forget. (that happens a lot these days.)
BTW, I have reverted to v3.6.24.
I will not use Google Chrome, and Safari leaves a whole lot to be desired.
I guess that puts me in the same league with some of the other slow adopters.

Personally, I've seen no issues with the frequently updated versions of FF. I have it set to automatically update.
I've never seen FF mess up anything like the screenshot you've posted - which, BTW, isn't a forum page, but a simple HTML page and should load just fine in any browser.

Jack, if you want to use one of the "stable" esr versions of FF, at least use the most recent one, which is 24.0, not 17, which came out over a year ago. http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/all.html

Paddy,
I dl'd v17esr several weeks (or months) ago, and forget why I thought i would be good. I sure don't need it for support for a large organization!
I guess I just got tired of all the 'major' version numbers even tho the changes were small, and sometimes seemingly inconsequential.
So I guess I'll try v24.
Thanks!
Jack

But one question on tabs:
Is there any way to get tabs to display with name only without folder symbol on left (as per v3.6) ?
Take up too much room.
I already know they are folders.

Perhaps <this page can get you started> on a solution.Does <"Tab Groups"> have anything to do with what you're talking about?
Post by: Jack W on December 30, 2013, 02:35:56 PM
don't you have tabs???
now, even ff 3 screws up like 17 did
what the ? did i do???
and my financial sites will nott work, just keep coming back to the login page.
totally fouled up !!1
Post by: Jack W on December 30, 2013, 03:11:15 PM
corrected and working for the most part now.

But what I don't have is the "folder" thing you mentioned:
QUOTE

Are you saying (without a screen shot [hint, hint]) that the only image/icon/picture in any tab is one of a 'folder' instead of what the site sometimes provides? Really, a screenshot would help.
I only have four tabs right now.
Chrome display
FF display
One is the TS 'life-ring' thing, two are for a PS Elements site (a square box with "PET") in it, and the last one is my local 'Home' page which is simply an html document, so it shows as a 'piece-of-paper-with-a-folded-down-corner' thing. I don't think I can ever remember seeing anything that looked like a 'folder' icon. But I assumed that it must have been a 'folder' full of sites/pages/tabs/etc. Bad assumption, as usual.
At any rate, the ':about config:' option/url has dozens of user choices and I thought you might find a setting there. Sorry I can't be of any real help.

Jim,
Here's the screenshot (firefox-24.0):
[attachment=2946:firefox_tab_bar.jpg]
Each folder has several sites within.
Please note the folder icons - these were not there in previous version.
I will look at about config, but i know that list goes on forever.
Thanks,
Jack

I actually have some of the same things, in the same place, in my Chrome image above. They are probably created the same way in FF: Bookmarks->Bookmark All Tabs... A small window pops up and you can put the current group of tabs into any folder already created or use the "Add New Folder" button to uhmn... add a new folder. 
I only did that a few times to see if it would be of use. While it's handy in Chrome, it is useless in any of the other browsers I use. That's why I don't use the Bookmarking functions of any browser (except for these limited, educational uses). I use three browsers now and have used many more in the past and who knows when I might try another one in the future. So using browser-specific Bookmarks is just a make-work process, sooner or later the Bookmarks will become different in each browser.
But, as you can see in the Chrome display image, it uses exactly the same 'folder' icon. That only seems logical to me since that's what those links (buttons, really) are; folders of urls. It's simply a representation of how the browser stores you Bookmarked tabs; folders.
What you want is to have no icon, right? Perhaps you could request that the Developers allow a simple 1x1 colorless gif as a choice? Or simply a "no icon" choice!
What other icon might be appropriate there? Perhaps some other image the user could pick from a selection of icons? Perhaps any image (that would be automatically resized)? Sounds like something you might ask for from the developers.

Is this the right way to bring up the about config:
Just enter :about config in the URL field?
doesn't work for me, just tells me it's an invalid url.
I also tried:
:about config: - still no joy.
Jack
p.s. proper is
about:config
but couldn't find anything that might work,
closest was
browser.tabs.tabClipWidth . . . -set at 140, changed to 130 - no joy.

So, is there a way to have the collections available in some other way?
Jack, try about:config

I don't need to see the folder icon, there is a down arrow thingy that implies more than one entry.
That was all they used in ff-3.x ....
All the folder icons do is add to the width of the toolbar.

Jon, I think he wants to be able to use the collections but NOT see the icons. Of course, I didn't understand the original post, either!

Here's a suggestion: Uncheck Bookmarks Toolbar as I said in my previous post. Then, click the Bookmarks icon in the Navigation toolbar. That will show a sidebar with the bookmark folders. To hide the sidebar, click the Bookmarks icon again.So, is there a way to have the collections available in some other way?

Part one worked - hid the tabs toolbar altogether.
Part two doesn't set a tabs toolbar, only temporary thru navigation toolbar
please pardon my slowness
I DO want to see the tabs toolbar, I just don't want the folder icons taking up space in that toolbar.

My only suggestion involves never moving the browser window and very small pieces of duct tape. OTOH, if you have some white out®:
