Wow!  Much many thanks for the solution to my problem.  I think I  
carelessly removed the check from the Unity plugin box in the Compiz  
Config Manager.  I tried to find this file in Filesystem, but I  
couldn't find it.  Actually I clicked open one file on the desktop in  
order to get myself into internet connection to seek help.  I'll make  
record of instruction of how to use terminal and tips to follow.   
Thank you.
   Now here is another issue.  You provided me an info about solution  
to the problem of 'saved tabs in firewall browser', but I could not  
find Session Manager even in 'search for' in my Filesystem.  I'll keep  
on digging deeper looking for the solution as per your reply to my  
previous request.
   Thank you Colin.
