I have recently changed from Firefox to Opera as F/F was constantly 'not responding'. I don't find Opera as clear, but hopefully will get used to it but I have lost my toolbar on it, can anyone tell me how to get it back please?

If your machine is booting up okay I would be loathe to disable anything in Start Up that I don't fully understand what it does. I believe that each of your Intel R (com) has different suffixes. Can you widen the box to confirm that? For example, one may be followed by igfxtray.exe; the other by igfxpers.exe If that is the case, leave well alone. They are needed to...

Thank you for replying so quickly Hans, I already looked at that link but as I don't have a tool bar I can't > on either view or tools as it advises :0(
Can't you Google "download Opera toolbar" and follow the instructions?
Question Author
Tried that Pete, thank you, but it didn't download, Hans link sent me to settings then said tool bar not found. Maybe you can't have it on Opera?
What toolbar do you want?
Question Author
I am trying to get Files edit tools etc if that is possible hc, have tried R clicking at the top, in fact all the suggestions in AB relating to the problem that I can find, to no avail.
Bizarre. I've installed Opera and see exactly what you mean. There isn't even a view-toolbar option anywhere.

Will investigate more tomorrow if nobody else comes up with a solution.
What you want is a 'Menu' bar!
Unfortunately, they have done away with it ☺☺☺

The closest you will get to it is if you click on the 'Opera' symbol in the top left corner or use the 'Alt' key.
Thanks, SlackAlice. :)
Try pressing Alt
Question Author
Thank you Slack Alice, looks like I will have to do without it or maybe go back to firefox if it will start behaving itself :0) Really don't know if I like Opera all that much actually.Thank you all for replying and trying to help, rosy
rosy, try disabling all your extensions in FF and see if that helps.
If all is well, you will have re-enable them one by one to identify the culprit.
Question Author
Thank you hc I will try that (tomorrow) but I am not very PC literate so if it all goes pear shaped you will probably hear from me again :0) rosy
Eek!
Do as hc4361 suggests at 23.46. In my humble opinion the fewer extensions the better.

hc4361 I think you've 'pulled' ☺☺☺

Thanks for BA
Also make sure that Firefox is up-to-date. Version 36 was released last Monday.

Hi Rosy, I had loads of probs with F/F so scrapped it & downloaded Mozilla Sea Monkey, best ever, give it a whirl.
I much prefer Chrome, though it has its detractors.

Hello Methyl, I have an Acer laptop with windows 7, I have only had Firefox as my browser since I bought it 18months ago but because of the freezing etc my daughter installed Opera for me. She didn't mention that she had also uninstalled F/F so I don't know which version I had. I seem to read quite a lot of negative reports about I.E. especially about security
