  • The firefox will not open new windows

    My firefox will not open new windows. It opens new tabs. The problem is in the windows.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Firefox will not open new window, Why?

    I have Vista home base premium operating system. I am a regular user of Mozilla firefox after had lots of positive feedback as one of the best browser. I had no problem for a good while, until recently I found out my add-on firebug stop working. Then I noticed that firefox stopped working properly, ie; it will no more open new window/s. One window will open after rebooting and i can have a number of tabs opened. When I right click on a web link and take the option to open it in a new window it will not open. When I take the option to open it in a new tab then that would be ok. When I go to the toolbar and click on File and chose option "open new window" again it will not open. I have on many accasions completely installed Firefox using the IObit software and use the advance system care to clean the registry and completely scan the system. I then reinstalled the latest version of Mozilla Firefox. I did that twice. The problem is still there. About the ad-on firebug, when I go to the toolbar and click on Tools, i can see Firebug with the extended arrow, but when I click on the arrow to the extended options, it simply would not respond.
    There must something going on, please help.

  • Firefox will not open new window for websites that require it

    I am running Firefox 3.6.16 on Windows XP.
    For some time now, certain websites will just not work - for instance, when I use Mapquest, it used to open the new window when I clicked on "print" - that no longer happens.
    Today, I was trying to use the eScrip online mall, and when I clicked on the store name, it did not open a new window - this was working fine back in December when I was doing my online shopping.
    My suspicion is the new version has some kind of problem. does anyone have a solution for this?
    Thanks!

    I use MapQuest a lot but haven't used the PRINT option for a while. I just tried it and you are right, the PRINT does not open any window or even work. But if you change it to the NEW MapQuest, the PRINT function will work. I guess MapQuest has disabled the PRINT option in their CLASSIC version. Maybe they are trying to encourage users to use their NEW version instead.
    If you still want to use the CLASSIC version, you can always copy the map and paste it onto a Image Editor program and print from there.

  • Firefox will not open new windows, opens with session restore every time I use it, and won't let me open the throubleshooting tab... Why?

    Whenever I try to open a new window, nothing happens. This includes clicking ctrl+N and through the drop down menu.
    Also, whenever I start firefox to browse the internet, it always open with a Session Restore with the previous session listed, even though I closed all the tabs and shut it down normally without any prompts telling me about saving multiple tabs.
    Finally, when I tried to troubleshoot this problem, the tab never appeared. The only options that work on the Help Menu are:
    - Firefox Help (after a few clicks)
    - Report Broken Web Site
    - Check for Updates
    - About Firefox

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • Since updating last time Firefox will not open new tabs unless I right click on a link. It won't open them via file or the tab at the top of the brwoser. Anyone know how to fix this?

    Since updating last time Firefox will not open new tabs unless I right click on a link. It won't open them via file or the tab at the top of the brwoser or usinf ctrl + t. Anyone know how to fix this?

    I can press ctrl for a new tab but otherwise a new tab does not open. I actually need help regarding this new Synch which apparently will be in Firefox automatically in an upcoming version so I am asking how that will synch with people who use LastPass-of course because I use this very successfully and really am not eager to change the set up that I have in place at this time.
    I have read through endless FAQ trying to find anyone else who has this question or concern but have found nothing. Can you please tell me how that service will get along with LastPass which does basically the same thing as Synch-it is probably spelled wrong as it looks wrong to me but if I click back to where this issue began, I will lose all of this question so please respond for the upcoming service synch.

  • Firefox 30 will not open new windows maximized

    I use Firefox on 2 machines, one at home and one at work. I updated both to Firefox 30.
    My home machine, with Windows 7 opens new windows maximized.
    My work machine, however, will not open new windows maximized. It will only open them at the last remembered window size. I have tried deleting localstore.rdf and this does not solve the issue.
    The window will open maximized on Firefox 28 on the same machine.

    '''''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]''''' {web link}
    While you are in safe mode;
    Press the '''<Alt>''' or '''<F10>''' key to bring up the tool bar.
    Followed by;
    Windows; '''Tools > Options'''
    Linux; '''Edit > Preferences'''
    Mac; ''application name'' '''> Preferences'''
    Then '''Advanced > General.'''
    Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''.
    Poke around safe web sites and see if there is still a problem. Then restart.

  • Firefox 4 stops opening new windows after browser window dragged to second display

    Firefox 4 stops opening new windows after browser window dragged to second display. It's weird. Behavior is fine until I drag any browser window to the attached second display, and after this point it stops opening new windows but will still open new tabs in the same window. Restart fixes it until I drag the window back to the second display.
    "Show all bookmarks" stops working too--won't open a new window.
    This is after clean reinstall with total deletion of any Firefox/Mozilla folders and the previously installed app and a restart of the computer.
    Mac OS X 10.6.7
    Firefox 4

    Pretty sure this is either:
    '''Bug 644733'''
    or
    '''Bug 609405'''
    (...and they may be reporting the same thing.)

  • Firefox will not open new 'tabs', not sure if its disabled, but does anyone know how to enable the use of my tabs?

    Firefox will not open any tabs on my browser. I've tried using all alternatives to open a new tab - using the 'plus' (+) button doesn't work, 'control + T' doesn't work, going to File and clicking 'new tab' doesn't work either? Help please!

    Your suggestion worked! Thanks!

  • When I click on New Tab a new tab will not open, new window does open, how do I open new Tab? used to work

    New Tab feature no longer works, only new window

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
    '''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
    *Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''.
    Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
    #At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]]. Click on it.
    #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.

  • Firefox will not open new web pages.

    When I open firefox it goes to the firefox default page with one blank new tab. New tabs will open with blank page but Firefox will not go to any new sites just stays on blank pages. I have already tried starting in safe mode, creating a new profile, and un-installing and re-installing and the problem persists.
    It is not blocked by either my firewall or antivirus program.
    This all seems to have started after an automatic update made by Firefox.

    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 not open multiple windows.

    Just upgraded to Firefox 3.6.3. I can open multiple tabs in the open window, but I can not open another window. Possibly unrelated issue is the search bar not functioning.
    As for the window issue, I've tried;
    Ctrl + N
    File [N]
    File -> New Window
    Rt Click Link -> Open in New Window
    Nothing whatsoever happens with either of these attempts.
    As for the Search bar I've tried to input a search and press [Enter] as well as clicking the magnifying glass with the mouse. As with the window issue nothing happens.
    I'm not sure if these issues are related. Restarting does not fix these.
    Addons are:
    Adblock Plus v1.2
    Add to Search Bar v2.0
    All-in-One Sidebar v0.7.11
    Bookmark This Page Plus v0.3.3
    ChatZilla v0.9.86
    Download Youtube Videos + v2.1.3
    DownThemAll! v1.1.9
    FEBE v6.3.3
    Flashblock v1.5.13
    Greasemonkey v0.8.20122408.6 (This looks very odd to me o.O)
    Java Console v6.0.18

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

  • Firefox will not open a window nor can I uninstall it!

    Firefox does not open when I click it. I attempted to uninstall it but when I try nothing happens. I have researched fixes, but it seems as if I actually have to open a window to fix it, which does not work. What can I do?

    A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Firefox will not open in Vista after upgrading to 9.

    I updated FF to ver. 9, now it will not open at all. I have tried downloading it and re-installing, but I get an error message that: FF is already running and that it must be shutdown first. Then I tried to uninstall FF in completely, but again I get the message that it is "already running and must shutdown first." Also, I have tried to open FFin safe mode, but that does not work either. Vista all my AV is up to date. Side note IE9 and chrome work fine. Thanks.
