Hi, I'm using PM 15.3-x64. For some reason I am unable to place or remove items to the toolbars, and I can not move or reposition the tabs. I tried launching PM without ad-ons and still a no go.

Help plz. :eh:

Which OS are you using? as PM 15.3 x64 is now only supported from Vista and above. Please have a look at this announcement: http://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=1647 and this recent thread: http://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=1664

That is the OS I am using without those problems. Uninstall PM then re-install using a fresh profile. See if that sort it.

First you can try a clean, new pale moon profile or the save mode

It's possibly either a theme or addon problem, or an issue with profile files. You can try using the Safe Mode recovery options (Hold down SHIFT when starting Pale Moon), especially "reset toolbars and controls" and "reset preferences to Pale Moon defaults" are good starting points. Also, disabling all add-ons from there might help if it's an add-on issue.

If that doesn't work, try resetting your profile completely from Help -> Troubleshooting information, the button "Reset" on the top right (only works if you are using the default profile location)

If all of that still fails to solve the issue, you may need to completely remove and reinstall Pale Moon: http://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=662
