After upgrading to 20.0.1 cannot open a new window (CTRL+N) and no add-ons seem to work (apart from adblock plus).

Unable to open new window (but able to open new tabs).
Sometimes unable to open Add-ons tab.
The add-on extensions do not seem to be working, even though they seem to be ENABLED (except adblock plus).
When restarting in safe mode, or disabling ALL add-ons the browser works normally, thus new windows open, add-on tab opens etc.
Tried to enable one thing at a time, but it seems that when enabling WHICHEVER TWO add-ons, firefox starts acting "weirdly" (no new windows etc.).
Tried disabling hardware acceleration, but it didn't solve the problem.
Tried uninstalling firefox and then reinstalling. At first it all seemed working perfectly well: new windows opened, extensions working etc. But after a couple of restarts (of firefox and computer) it all got back to the same situation.
Tried uninstalling ALL add-ons and everything worked well. After installing the SECOND add-on and restarting firefox things get "wrong" again.
It all started after upgrading to Firefox 20.0.1.

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I cannot open my File Maker Pro files. Can I use Numbers to open these files?

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I cannot open my File Maker Pro files. Can I use Numbers to open these files?

Numbers is a spreadsheet program and FileMaker is a database program, so you probably can't use Numbers to open them unless you had first exported them from FileMaker in a spreadsheet-compatible format.
If you upgraded from 10.6 Snow Leopard or earlier and your old copy of FileMaker won't open anymore, it might be a PowerPC application that is not compatible with 10.7 and later. If that is the case, to work with your FileMaker files you should upgrade your copy of FileMaker to the latest version, which seems to be FileMaker 12.

Hi,
If the DISPLAY is set properly and you still get the same error, then I would suggest you download the latest RapidWiz version (Patch 7308107 - Rapid Install 12.0.4.9).
I am installaing it in a vm ware image by connecting an External HDD of 1 TB to a laptop with 2 GB RAM, do you advise me to try installing it on a desktop with higher configuration ? IT has close to 270 GB of free space.With this configuration, you should be to install 12.0.4 directly on the laptop.
For 12.0.4, the total space required for a standard system (not including the stage area) is 73 GB for a fresh install with a production database, and 161 GB for a fresh install with a Vision Demo database.
For the stage area, you need at least 33 GB to accommodate the file system and database files in the stage area.

Firefox closes after I click on a link to open a new window

I had to reinstall Window 7, and of course, Firefox and Thunderbird. Now Firefox closes after I click on a link to open a new window. For example, if I'm in Thunderbird, and i click on a link in an email, Firefox gives me a message like "Firefox is already open, but must close before opening a new window."

Is there more than one installation of Firefox listed in the Programs installed?

When i open a new document, my "width" and "lenght" add two zeros automatically to file size??? For example basic A4 size in mm is 210 00mm x 297 00mm? And i can´t do nothing about it! Why on earth?

This "error note" must have something to do about it?

elppaelo,
You may try the list.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save curent artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

When I open a new window (Ctrl+N), I want a blank page to appear. I do not want my home pages opened. How can I do that?

When I open a new window (Ctrl+N), I want a blank page to appear. I do not want my home pages opened. How can I do that?

A new window opens by default with the home page(s). 
If you want a blank window then you need to open an about:blank page in a new window. 
You can do that with a bookmark that you open with a Shift+ left-click in a new window. 
Otherwise you need to set the Home page to a blank page and use a bookmark to open the preferred Home page in a new tab.

Upgraded to 3.6.10 now cannot open a new window, when closing firefox, it hangs and will not reopen without closing firefox via task manager

Since the upgrade (which took many attempts) after about 2-3 clicks, i cannot open new windows. I can open new tabs, but never a new window.

See "Hang at exit":

I cannot open a New Window. How do I get the ability to open a new (second) window?

When I upgraded from 3.6.15 to 3.6.18 it wiped out the use of all my extensions, add ons, and bookmarks, yet they were all still there. I deleted the suffixes on extensions, rebooted FF and they all started working. The only thing not working is opening a New Window. I click on File - New Window, I right click on FF icon on desktop, icon in Quick menu, I tried dragging a tab to the desktop. Nothing works.
Also FF will not allow me to install the update Adobe plugin.

-> Tap ALT key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
-> go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
-> Update ALL your Firefox Plug-ins https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
-> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> unselect All Unwanted toolbars
-> go Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> '''Time range to clear: select EVERYTHING''' -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on '''Cookies, Cache, Site Preferences''' -> click "Clear Now"
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Content -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Block Pop-up windows 2) Load images automatically 3) Enable JavaScript
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Privacy -> History section -> '''Firefox will: select "Use Custom Settings for History"''' -> REMOVE Checkmark from '''"Permanent Private Browsing mode"''' -> place CHECKMARKS on:
1) Remember my Browsing History 2) Remember Download History 3) Remember Search History 4) Accept Cookies from sites -> select "Exceptions..." button -> Click "Remove All Sites" at the bottom of "Exception - Cookies" window
4a) Accept Third-party Cookies -> under "Keep Until" select "They Expire"
-> REMOVE CHECKMARK from CLEAR HISTORY WHEN FIREFOX CLOSES
-> When using the Location Bar, suggest: select "History and Bookmarks"
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Security -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons 2) Block reported attack sites 3) Block reported web forgeries 4) Remember Passwords for sites
-> Click OK on Options window
-> click the Favicon (small drop down menu icon) on Firefox SearchBar (its position is on the Right side of the Address Bar) -> click "Manage Search Engines" -> select all Unwanted Search Engines and click Remove -> click OK
-> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious Extensions (Add-ons) -> Restart Firefox
You can enable your Known & Trustworthy Add-ons later. Check and tell if its working.

I cannot expand (maximize) new windows for forwards and writing new messages

I am using the most recent version of Thunderbird on W7 laptop. When i attempt to forward an email it shows up as being there on the task bar (when you hover the mouse over the TB icon it shows all the new windows), I cannot maximize these new windows. It does the same thing when I try to create a new message. I can see the thumbnail on the task bar but I cannot expand it. It lets me close it, but that's it. I can read emails fine unless I double-click them. It opens the message in a new window but I cannot expand it.
Any ideas?

Do you have the option to activate/ have focus on the window which the mouse is hovering over? I'm thinking that if you have this option selected then the main TB window may stay in focus because that is where the mouse pointer is pointing?
If you click on 'Write' and you see the Write icon in bottom Task Bar, this sounds like the window has opened but it is either:
Not got focus, so it is hidden behind the main thunderbird interface or another opened window.
or it has opened in minimised state, so is not behind other opened windows.
'''First test: '''
Click on Write to open a new Write message.
Minimise Thunderbird, so it shows as icon on bottom Task Bar.
Can you see the open Write window?
If yes, then the Write message window is not getting focus.
If no
click on the Write icon in the Task Bar does it then open?
If yes, then the Write window is opening in a minimised state.
When you right click on the Write window icon in the bottom task bar, please list all options available - not the greyed out ones.
What results did you get?
Second Test: Restart Thunderbird in Safe mode.
Help > Restart with Addons disabled
Now test:
click on Write - did Write window open in the front in focus.
If yes then it is likely that an addon is causing a conflict.
You would need to test by gradually enabling addons/extensions until you find the one which is causing the problem.
So, restart thunderbird, then go to Tools > Addons disable all the addons and then enable one at a time to see when the error occurs. This will tell you which Addon is causing the problem.
Maybe the addon needs updating.
Please report back on results.
In both thunderbird Safe mode and normal mode, does Ctrl+N open a new Write window in focus ?

If Firefox is set as the default browser, and any application attempts to open a new window, this fails and I get the error "Firefox is already running..."

Here is what I am running:
Microsoft Windows 7, Service Pack 1, Fully updated to 4/10/2012
Fresh Install of Firefox 11. No add-ons enabled as a result of troubleshooting.
I am a user with administrator rights
UAS is disabled.
To begin, this has been going on Since Firefox 10 or so. A few months now.
I am able to open Firefox. My add-ons worked (ABP, Flashblock, ABP Element Hiding Helper, IETAB2, Downthemall, Greasemonkey, 4chan extension) had no problems. Firefox is set and has been set for the last two years as my default web browser.
However Since approximately Firefox 10 or so, maybe before that, If I have a Firefox session open, and any other application attempts to open a session in a new window, I get the Firefox is already running, but not responding error."
I attempted to follow troubleshooting advice already posted (look for parent.lock files left behind [none present], multiple sessionstore.js files [none present], create a new user profile, attempted to clear out the "read-only" permission in windows 7, however as soon as it is cleared, the read only permission returns.)
As a last resort, I deleted the Firefox folder, the %APPDATA%/Mozilla directory in its entirety, then utilized CCleaner to remove any and all references to Firefox in the windows registry, then did a full re-install, no extensions installed right now.
I checked preferences and have the option "open new windows in a new tab" checked off. The problem persists regardless if this option is checked on or off. This problem persists in or out of safe mode, even with the brand new install.
Test Cases:
All cases:
Firefox is selected as the default browser for windows 7
Case 1: Open a firefox session. Utilize any other program that attempts to open a link to their website in a new browser window or new browser session. Experience "Firefox is already running" error
Case 2: Open a firefox session. Right click on Firefox on the task bar. Select "open in new window". Experience "Firefox is already running" error
Case 3: Open a firefox session. Select the Firefox Menu > New tab > New Window. A new window will actually open.
This is the only method of opening a new window in the same browser session or profile that actually works on my system. Attempting to open a browser session from the task bar "open new window dialog" or opening a new window while a current window/session is running will not open firefox in a new window or a new tab in the current session. The "Firefox is already running, but is not responding" error will occur every time.

Cor-el's suggestion resolved my problem. Apparently the MOZ_NO_REMOTE variable was set to 1 on my system variables. I never made it, and really have no idea how it got there, but deleting this variable and restarting firefox has resolved the issue. Thanks Cor-el!
Marking case: Solved
Solution: Verify the MOZ_NO_REMOTE variable is NOT set to 1. This can be achieved by simply deleting this variable.

When I use the shortcut to open a new window in safari (command N), I get a 404 error message from Google. How do I change where 'Command N' routes to?

When I use the shortcut to open a new window in safari (command N) on my Macbook Pro, I get a 404 error message from Google. How do I change where 'Command N' routes to?

It's not necessary to change the Command N keystroke..
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that didn't help, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

I can't open a new window in Firefox 4 on my mac. Was working great. I installed new mac firmware and restarted, probably without closing Firefox properly. Now window won't open.

Hi:
As noted above, Firefox won't open a new window. I restarted machine without closing Firefox. Now, I get the Firefox menu bar but it won't open a window. I'm using mac, with OS X 10.6

Firefox doesn't install new versions of plugins, but Flash may update itself automatically. 
You are still one version behind on Flash, current is Flash 10.1 r85 
If the Flash player didn't update properly then you need to download the full version and run the installer as Administrator (right-click: Run as ...)
Flash Global Notifications Settings Panel: 
*http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager05.html
You are more versions behind on Java updates with having Java 6 U11, current is 6 U22.

Update the [[Java]] plugin to the latest version.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I cannot open iCal/Calendar.

I get a message saying: “Calendar Cache” couldn’t be moved because you don’t have permission to access “Calendars”. I have tried altering the permissions so that I have read and write access for Calendar app but it still says the same. Please help!

It's not the app, see what the permissions are on your Home folder, if incorrect...
Sratup holding command-r keys.
You will boot into the Repair Utilities screen. On top, in the Menu Bar click the Utilities item then select Terminal.
In the Terminal window, type resetpassword and press Return.
The Password reset utility launches, but you’re not going to reset the password. Instead, click on the icon for your Mac’s hard drive at the top. From the drop-down below it, select the user account where you are having issues.
At the bottom of the window, you’ll see an area labeled ‘Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs’. Click the Reset button there.
The reset process takes a couple of minutes. When it’s done, quit the programs you’ve opened and restart your Mac. Notice that ‘Spotlight’ starts re-indexing immediately.

I cannot open a new page. ctrl + t doesn't work, or the block next to the current page. nothing works.

When I follow a hyperlink, a new page will appear.
And when after I closed Firefox, I open again Firefox all pages, which were open, will reappear.

This issue can be caused by the Ask.com toolbar (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)
