How do I open a Firefox browser window?

Man, is this frustrating!
I have a Samsung Galaxy 10.1. I downloaded Firefox from Google Play. I synched it. I added the "full screen" add-on. So where's the browser? I can't even get to anything that will let me type in a URL or a Google search term, much less the same bookmarks and tabs that I have on my Windows laptop -- which is what I thought "synch" was about.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Didn't work. I'm stuck at a "top sites" screen that gives an array of nine tiles. Not a single one of those tiles is a Firefox browser of any kind at all. What the (blank) am I supposed to do?

Thanks for your ongoing help. (And if this winds up being a duplicate post, my apologies in advance.)
I typed about:synch-log into the address bar and got an exclamation point inside a triangle next to a boldfaced message that reads "The address isn't valid."
Below that, in a box:
The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded
Then a line then two bullet points
* Web address are usually written like http://www.example.com
* Make sure that you're using forward slashes (i.e. /)

I can only open one Firefox browser window. When I click the firefox icon from desktop or taskbar to open up another browser window it does not open. I am ablt to open up new tabs within the one window.

Have you tried: click Firefox button > New Tab > New Window '''''OR''''' CTRL+N '''''OR''''' File > New Window (if using the Menu Bar)
Once open, Firefox locks the Profile that is in use and you can not open another window with that Firefox version and Profile combination using the Windows Desktop icon or the Windows Programs list.

How can I open a new browser window!!! Very Challenging!!!

I have a form (name=MAIN) with a submit button (name=Button A). Button A opens a new browser window (name=SEARCH), via an HTML form target tag (<FORM TARGET=A>). Window SEARCH has multiple submit buttons (10-15). Each button has a different action which is handled by a servlet (form name and button name are passed to a servlet as a hidden field in the form to determine the action), which is setup to be an action handler. When a button in the SEARCH window is clicked the results are retrieved from an Oracle database and should be displayed in the text fields in window MAIN.
For example, some results may be displayed in window SEARCH (_self) and and other results may be required to be sent to window MAIN depending on the button clicked.
How can I setup window SEARCH so each button can have a different target window (some may be window MAIN or other windows)? Using a form tag for each button doesn't give desirable results. Is there a way to do this with JSP or some form of Java code?
A form tag can only have one target. Basically I have one form with multiple submit buttons. How can I get it to send each submit buttons results to a specific window?
Thanks.


<script language="JavaScript1.2">
function mysubmit(mytarget){
document.myform.target=mytarget;
document.myform.submit();
function validation(myform){
//validation stuff
return [true | false];
</script>
<form target='none' name='myform' action='myaction.jsp' method='post' [onsubmit='return validation(this)']>
<input type=button name='submit1' value='submit1' onclick='mysubmit("target1")'>
<input type=button name='submit2' value='submit2' onclick='mysubmit("target2")'>
<input type=button name='submit3' value='submit3' onclick='mysubmit("target3")'>
<input type=button name='submit4' value='submit4' onclick='mysubmit("target4")'>
</form>

How can I open a new browser window from UIX?

I need to open a new browser window from an event handler. How that can be done? HELP!
Thanks!

HTML doesn't really let you do this on the server side; the client is in charge
of creating new windows, not the server.
If you know that clicking a certain link/button, etc. will always raise a new window,
then you should use Javascript or "targetFrame" accordingly.
If the decision will only be made on the server side, then you could reload the current
window, only this time use an "onLoad" on the <body> to raise a window.

How do I open a new browser window from Flash

I wish to open a new browser window from Flash and when the new window closes to return to the location from whence I started.
ThomasChen

The command to open a new window would be the "_blank" part of a command to link to a web page in the code below.
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.anothersite.com", "_blank"));
As far as the new window closing and getting back to where you were in the original window, I don't understand where that original window might have gone to... You should be wherever you last left it.

I would like to ask you how to fix this problem with firefox 4 final version: I open one firefox browser window and i leave it then i open another new window of firefox and it opens not homepage but the last closed tab. Thank you in advance

could you please help me with this because it makes me to choose other browser

Many thanks for your reply, Waka – guess you're right that it's a new add on or bust... I still find it odd that such a common UI feature across mobile browsers is unavailable in FF24 either as an option under settings or as an add-on. Surely, I'm not the only person who finds this puzzling?

After the latest update was completed, I couldn't open the firefox browser. I received an application error. I tried restarting the Windows OS but no change. How do I fix this?

How do I open a new FireFox browser window to the home page and url filled?

win 7 64-bit, firefox 5 open new window no url. When I have firefox open and open a new browser window, the new window does not open on the home page and no url is present in the address field. If I click on the favicon in the address field, the url of the current page will automatically fill in. The forward and backward arrow buttons remain disabled. In addition, links opened in a new window cause a new browser window to open, but the linked to website is not displayed in the new windows. What is displayed is a new window completely blank with no url in the address bar. I tried to include troubleshooting information by clicking on the copy to clipboard, but apparently the character count was exceeded.

I disabled all plug-ins and extensions. the problem has been resolved. Now I will enable each one individually to find out which one was the offender.

How do I make it so that Firefox does NOT close my other windows when I open a Private Browsing window?

Whenever I open a Private Browsing window, it closes all of my non-private windows until I end the private session. Is there a setting or add-on that will make it so I can have both private and non-private windows open? Both Internet Explorer and Chrome allow you to do this and it is the only reason I'm not using Firefox.

That unfortunately is the way that Firefox works.
You could create a new Firefox profile, but it would have it's own set of bookmarks,
you could use a different browser for either half, but again it would not share you
bookmarks. Firefox has the best bookmarks, but I understand your situation.
Private browsing does not suit my usage because it turns off everything privacy related and I would not want to turn off bookmarking or lose my session data. I am the only user on my computer.

Since I installed Firefox 3.6.3, every time I open Google Notifier, two Firefox browser windows open.

I am running Firefox 3.6.3 on my Mac G5 and my MacBook.
Since I installed Firefox 3.6.3, everytime I open Google Notifier, two Firefox browser windows open. This happens on both of my computers.
This never used to happen before, in the earlier versions.
How do I make it so that only one browser window opens?

I got this all screwed up too.
hmm.. where to start?
3.6 and 4.0 beta - really aren't intended to play well together.
As has been mentioned above, they tend to write over each other.
I managed to get both 3.6.15 and 4.0 beta 12 on the same machine.
But, I had to do it several times.
I got lucky by deleting everything Mozilla, then installing 4.0b12, then 3.6.15 - while making sure that each installed into a separate folder.
I also took care to copy out a couple of BookMark BackUp files - just in case.
My old 3.6# had become so bloated - and, Unstable - for Me, it was time.
The bookmarks were all that I was still interested in.
All the Plugins, Themes, AddOns, etc... had slowed the app to a crawl.
So, I did as complete a wipe of Mozilla bloat code that I could, including profiles.
I then did some registry cleaning.
Then I installed 4.0b12 and 3.6.15.
I can't open them both at the same time.
If I open 3.6.15 first, then open 4.0b12 - the beta comes up as 3.6.15.
If I open 4.0b12 first, then open 3.6.15 - the 3.6 comes up as the beta.
This has a lot to do with both apps sharing the same default profile.
I hope to drop down to one app in the near future.
So, cobbling multiple profiles in order to diddle side by side apps - isn't worth it at this stage.
For me, I can't open FF 4.0b12 when my virus protection is running. PCTools doesn't like some thing about the way FF4.0 wants to phone home when it opens.
So, I can't commit to the 4.0b12, yet.
3.6.15 was crashing on open too - until I uninstalled the feedback addon. - go figure -.
Also, I can't get the 4.0b12 to start in safe-mode with the PCTools antivirus running.
At the rater they are going, I don't see 3.6.# going away any time soon.

Opening a new browser window always puts a flv-file (0bytes of a youtube vid viewed earlier) on desktop. Firefox 18.02

Opening a new browser window always puts a flv-file (0bytes of a youtube vid viewed earlier) on desktop. Firefox 18.02
viewed the yuotube vid yesterday. deleted all the flv-files on the desktop.
same thing today, a new window always puts the same empty file from yesterday.
any suggestions?

You can check the home page setting:
*Tools > Options > General > Startup: Home page
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox Profile Folder that store session data.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).
