Safari window opens automatically on every new desktop in Mission Control.

In mission control, when I swipe to a different desktop, Safari follows and automatically opens on that new desktop. How do I stop this? This does not happen if safari is in full window mode. I have reset Safari to no avail, and I have opened Safari with the shift key but neither action gets rid of this problem.

Ah, I figured it out. Right click on Safri icon in tray, choose options and Click "none" instead of "every desktop". That was well hidden!

    I can't open new desktop from mission control if dock is on the right side

    I recently moved my dock to the right so I didn't know the + sign would switch sides. I normally run around that many too depending on how large of a stack whatever I am programming is using.
    Anyways, thanks for the help

  • Downgraded, created another instance, now two rogue windows open automatically in the new instance!!

    So I need to open another instance of Firefox so I can log onto other email accounts simultaneously with the first browser instance. I followed the directions and using profile creator, made another profile, and the sync worked (mostly).
    However, no matter what option I choose under:
    Options -> General -> Startup
    I get two ADDITIONAL tabs!!
    First one says
    "Download Firefox - Free Web Browser
    Second one says
    "PROFILE.COM"
    What gives???

    If you downgraded Firefox you are now on an unsupported version so please upgrade again and then we can try to help you.
    Ther are other alternative methods but the easiest method of logging in to more than one email acount is to open additional windows for the other accounts as ''Private Browsing'' windows e.g. use keyboard shortcut Sift+Ctrl+P
    * See [[Private Browsing - Browse the web without saving information about the sites you visit]]
    Does that suggestion help ?
    Please post back to say how you get on.
    '''Not updating Firefox is usually considered bad practice.'''
    * Please see the article [[Install an older version of Firefox]] <br /> That includes the links you need for old versions.
    * And glance at https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html
    Once a new Released out and security fixes are made and publicised bad guys take advantage of the exploits and that puts your '''System and Personal Data at an increased risk. ''' <br />Those with strong reasons for using an insecure version and understanding the risks may take appropriate steps to mitigate the risk. Possibly using a Virtual Machine, maybe having a well rehearsed bare metal restore procedure.
    Perhaps if you say why you do not wish to upgrade we may be able to suggest a suitable way forward with an upgrade and some sort of workaround.
    Or are you talking as an administrator of a network of Computers, in which case a special Release of Firefox may be more appropriate.
    If the problem relates to Firefox 29 these articles may help
    * [[Learn more about the design of the new Firefox]]
    * [[What happened to the Add-on Bar?]]
    * [[How to make the new Firefox look like the old Firefox]]
    It may also be worth noting that Fx29 now respects the setting to not upgrade until you agree. Firefox 28 upgraded regardless of the setting if you used the ''about'' dialogue to check the version.

  • I'm using Firefox 3.6.8 on a MacBook Pro. Is there any way to have downloads open automatically in a new tab once the download is complete? Thanks in advance!

    I believe when I first got my MacBook, that when I was in Firefox and downloaded a pdf, it opened automatically in a new Firefox tab. At some point, I think a window with the option to NOT do this appeared and I clicked the wrong option, i.e. to NOT have a downloaded pdf open up automatically in a new tab.
    I now cannot figure out how to reverse this. I have called Apple support and they think it's a Firefox setting.

    Set a preference to have searches from the Search Bar (upper right) automatically open all searches in a new tab
    #type '''about:config''' in the URL/Location/Address bar and press the Enter key
    #if you see a warning, accept it (promise to be careful)
    #Filter = '''browser.search.openintab'''
    #in the lower panel, double click the item (or right-click and choose "Toggle") to change the value to "true"
    #close the about:config tab and test
    #See:
    #*For help with opening/using about:config, also see: http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config

    About Google toolbar............
    Google decided that they will no longer produce the Google Toolbar for Firefox 5 and newer version. It is best to move on to other alternatives than to try any "hacks" to the toolbar that may or may not perform in the future. Future versions of Google toolbar will only work with IE7-9. Google Toolbar is not available on any other browser, even Google's own browser.

    If I open up the AirPort App - it only says that it cannot find my AirPort wireless device (probably because I dont have one) and then if I go to networks to connect to my wifi I select my home network and it ask me to input a password (as it should) but when I try to put in my password for my network it says "connection timeout" and the screen behind it (where the options for wifi or ethernet ext are) it says no ip address under wifi (also the status indicator is showing yellow - since my wifi is on just not connected to a network. I cannot seem to find any place to input my information for my specific router. Although I can connect to neighboring wifi routers just fine.

    That happens if the server sends the file as text/plain.
    You can see this if you open "Tools > Page Info > General": Content-Type: text/plain
    Files send this way will always open in a tab.

  • I am unable to open a new window / open link in a new window

    In the previous Firefox versions we are able to open a new window & open link in a new window. The feature is there when you "right click" on the tab or click on the "open a new window" but it simply not functioning

    Link context method works for me, there have been many complaints that the first two items were switched, and that can be easily modified with the "'''Menu Editor'''" extension.
    If it does not work for you an extension might be involved.
    There is also the mouse shortcut '''Shift+click''' on the link. Called mouse shortcut because it involves the mouse.

    You can make Firefox 4.0.1 and '''Firefox 5.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)]

  • When i restart comp 2 windows open automatically, how do i get rid of this?

    when i restart comp 2 windows open automatically, how do i get rid of this?

    Check your System Preferences to see what items you might have set to Startup when the computer is started.
    System Preferences > Users and Groups > Select your User Name > Click on Login Items > Select any item you do not want to startup automatically > click on the Minus sign in the bottom left corner.
    If the items that seem to open automatically are windows that you had open before shutting down the iMac or before selecting Restart those windows will open again when the computer starts.

  • Desktop 1 Mission Control Application Windows

    I recently upgraded to OSX Mountain Lion. The upgrade went perfect on my MacBook Pro. Here are my system specs:
    15-inch, 2.53GHz, Mid 2009
    Processor  2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory  8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
    I noticed a strange behavior with Desktop 1 when I go to Mission Control. No matter if I open Mission Control *from* Desktop 1, or I move to Desktop 1 from another Desktop in Mission Control, the Application Windows that are open on Desktop 1 do not display.
    Notice that the App Icons are displayed, but no Windows.
    NO OTHER DESKTOP displays this behavior. Any ideas? Is there a cache I can delete to reset the Desktop/Mission Control?
    Thanks!

    Note that this issue occured right after an OSX update, but was fixed after a reboot.

    Never mind, I think. I think I figured it out. There was 1 song (out of > 900!) that somehow had been purchased with the other ID - I have no idea how. Once I deleted that song, it stopped asking.
    There may be something with the newest iTunes version too. I didn't think in older versions that the "On this iPod" list of songs was greyed out. But at least it syncs ok.
