    OT Perhaps, but HELP to D/L and install files using Firefox.

    I use Win 7 with Firefox 27 (I don't think I've got FF28 yet) and up until yesterday if I downloaded something, a popup window would confirm then an arrow on the right side of the toolbar, next to the Homepage icon would turn green indicating the D/L status. From there, a simple mouse click would install where I wanted. NOW, however, there is NO arrow and no indication of downloading. I can seach for the file name and istall from there, but, man!, is that a pain in the the caboose!!!!

    How do I restore things to the way they were? The old way works fine on my wife's lappy, but the I KNOW she has FF 27 with no updates. So it seems to me that either I have to rollback FF, install a workaround of some sort or, failing that, do a system restore which is like shooting a fly with a 12 gauge. I know FF 28 is due out on 4/27 and I've not installed the beta, nor should FF update without my blessings.

    As always, any advice, help, or suggestions are warmly welcomed.

    I have 28, and it's there. You might try customizing your toolbar by right-clicking at the top of the browser. The little arrow icon might be hiding among the available ones.

    Thanks, patful, that did the trick. I'd looked there, but missed it.
