How can i open a TEXTPAD LINK in recent versions of firefox in a P R I V A T E window?

No matter what i've tried in recent versions of firefox, i can ONLY open a textpad link in a private window with OLD VERSIONS of firefox, where a private window REPLACES non private window(s) !
In later versions, private mode opens an ADDITIONAL window that is private, but the non private window(s) remain too.
So when I right click on a link in Textpad to open it, it ALWAYS opens the link in the latest NON private window!!! Even if I get rid of the non private windows!
I have tried Palemoon Browser(an optimized clone of Firefox) & no difference, unless I use old version 19.0.2 of that browser.
If there was a way in the registry(via an addon or manual change) to make the latest vers of FF beHAVE like the much older version when going into private mode, that might be a quick fix.
Have I stumped everyone? lol

Well... even though there is a command-line option to open a new private window, there is no way to feed a URL to that window externally. Firefox will always open the URL in a new non-private window. It's not clear why it was set up this way.

  • How can i open a PDF link with safari?C

    safari keeps saying that "there was an error opening this document. this file cannot be found" when I tried to open a PDF file link. and I have no problem opening those links with I.E or Firefox.
    i've tried to reinstall safari and adobe, but neither of those methods worked.

  • How can I get my INTERNAL links to work in Mozilla Firefox? They were working a month or two ago BEFORE Firefox made updates. See details.

    ''locking as a duplicate - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/833946''
    Here's a problem I don't know how to fix. In Mozilla Firefox prior to a couple of months
    ago I could click on a link and have it open. For example, at http://usnews.vo.llnwd.net/e
    1/s/7676/dw_110603_po.pdf?s=1307221956&e=1307222256&h=024749f5186aeabee854b34720f8c2d7 does it open for you? (Probably withdrawn now.)
    OK, now go to https://secure.usnews.com/premium/weekly.jsp , but because you are not a
    subscriber, you cannot click on the red button and have it open, or can you?
    Now go to https://secure.usnews.com/premium/weekly.jsp . Does it open for you?
    Now click on Download text-only edition. Does it open for you? My Mozilla makes the expected panel but leaves it blank and forms a partial black bar on the lower left that never completes rightward to show that the site has opened. It gets suspended there after I click it and will not open, BUT if I use as my ISP Internet Explorer, that last link WILL open and I can read the pdf. What program or application am I missing in Firefox that is present in IE? How can the Mozilla one be restored as it was effective for so very long till the last month or so?
    In one site I had INTERNAL subheads that when I would attempt to click Mozilla Firefox would not open, as they had BEFORE Mozilla Firefox had sent out its update a month or two ago. I would then have to go down that one-page site to about page 8 just to find that subheads. Why does it not work?
    Now the next problem is that this Firefox site requires that I CONFIRM my question. How am I supposed to do that when there is NO "confirm" box or panel in that page to click on?
    thanks,

    (I can chat but maybe Monday during the day.)

    OK, I went to Private Browsing to change Never remember history to choose Use custom settings for history and then clicked on Permanent Private Browsing Mode and clicked on the bottom OK. I then went to my Firefox messages and clicked on that internal-linked multimessage and then clicked on a link. It went there for only 1 second and reverted to the top of the message, not moving on further clicking.
    I then went to tools > options > privacy only to find that the default Never remember history was back in the panel. It wasn't stable at Use custom settings for history. I tried this several times. It always reverts either right away or after that 1-second success. One time it lasted an amazing 3 seconds before reverting to the top of the multimessage e-mail. So THAT failed too.
    OK, so then I went to Internet Explorer and called up that message. Clicked on an internal link and watched it fail for 1 second and then clicked again and it held the message for a long time. It's something in Firefox not Int. Explorer. Please see the image to let you know what I am doing.

  • HT202879 How can I open a file made with old version of Pages (before 09)?

    I need to open a file made with old version of Pages (before 09).  How can I do this?  I only have iworks Pages free with Mac Book Pro.

    You need either Pages '09 or the original Pages '08? programs.
    With Pages '09 you simply open it and it accurate converts it to Pages '09. Pages 5 will open the Pages '09 version but may alter/damage the file.
    With Pages '08 you Export it to Word .doc/.docx with mixed results, then open that in Pages 5 which may alter/damage the file.

  • My computer freezes when I try to log in to You Tube and is still "running" after I close it. How can I go back to my the previous version of Firefox?

    After downloading Firefox 4 Beta, my personal website does not display as it used to. The text is now aligned left when it was centered. Also, when I try to log in to You Tube, everything freezes. I have to use the computer task manager to close the browser. When I try to open Firefox again, I get a message stating it is still running and I must close it or re-start my computer to open Firefox again.
    I would like to return to the previous version of Firefox.

    You can get duplicate installation disks from Apple Customer Service.  You will have to provide them with the MBP serial number and there is a charge,
    Another option is to purchase the Snow Leopard retail disk from the Apple online store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Either option should allow you to install an OSX.

  • How can I open multiple instances of the same version of FF?

    I understand that if I have multiple profiles, I can run different versions of FF side-by-side (like 3.6 and 4).
    However, what I'm interested in is how I can launch multiple instances of the same version of FF (4, for instance) using the same profile. In other words, I want to be able to double-click the desktop icon for FF, and open a new instance, and keep doing that as many times as I want. I don't want to have a different icon and profile for each instance (too much overhead to keep a dozen+ profiles in sync).
    I can always launch one FF window instance, and then keep clicking ctrl+N to launch new instances from inside it, which they all share the same profile (as I want). So, basically, I want to be able to do that from my desktop icon, rather than by having to do it with the keyboard ctrl+N sequence.

    But I don't understand why whatever Firefox does when you click ctrl+N can't also be done (with some sort of command-line switch) from a desktop icon?
    In other words, I clearly can create many FF instances (even if they are the same FF.exe process) by doing ctrl+n a bunch of times. Why then can't this behavior be done from a desktop icon with some parameters?
    As far as I know, FF is the only browser that doesn't directly allow multiple browser instances from desktop icons. IE, Chrome, Safari, Opera, etc... all let me launch a new instance (even if they are all single process and the instances are shared within the process).

  • I am currently using Firefox 3.6.27. I would like to update, but not to "the latest and greatest." How can I view a list of all the versions of Firefox which are still available, choose the one that I want, and download it?

    Not applicable.

    The only versions you update to are 3.6.28 (which will be dropped from support in a few weeks) or Firefox 11. I'd recommend either 11, or at least start planning for it. Is there a specific reason you don't want to upgrade to 11, I can try to help.

  • Reinstalled Win 7 Home Pre. have an icon on desk top titled Old Firefox Data, how can I get this info into my new version of Firefox, FAQ's not clear on this.

    Your call of course but IMO a waste of money. Please read this first:
    There are many forms of ‘Malware’ that can affect a computer system, of which ‘a virus’ is but one type, ‘trojans’ another. Using the strict definition of a computer virus, no viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions. The same is not true of other forms of malware, such as Trojans.

    In your af:tree nodeStamp facet you have access to the node (TreeItem in your case). If your TreeItem has a getter method for the url (you did not provide the TreeItem code) you can put an af:goLink in the nodeStamp and set the destination attribute to #{node.url} and set the TargetFrame of the golink to '_blank':
    <af:tree ...>
      <f:facet name="nodeStamp">
        <af:goLink text="goLink 1" id="gl3" destination="#{node.url}" targetFrame="_blank"/>Timo
