Since the last time Firefox updated itself ,,, when I click on a link in an email I've recieved 2 windows open. One is my Google homepage and the other is the link url site.

  • When I have multiple browser windows open - but in the "minimized" mode - and I want to open up one of them for viewing, ALL of the windows automatically open as well. How do I prevent this annoying function. I cannot find it anywhere in the options.

    This does not appear to be a system issue, but rather a functional aspect of the browser windows. E.g., if I have 7 browser windows open to different sites... and all are Minimized, and I decide to open one to study, THEY ALL POP OPEN automatically. I am using Firefox v3.6.8 on Windows 7. This is an annoying behavior of the browser, and I am sure it can be somehow "turned off" but cannot determine how to do that. I have looked through all options. I am not a techie, but have reasonable proficiency with software apps.

    This can happen if you drag a tab slightly down in the browser window while clicking.
    Firefox has a feature called tear-off tabs
    You can detach a tab from the current window and open it in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window.
    You can also do this via the right-click context menu of a tab: Move to New Window
    You can drag that tab back to the tab bar in the original window to undo that detaching.

  • When I click on a PDF file in a website, a new window opens but it is always blank. Sometimes it directs me to "choose an application," but it never allows Adobe Reader to be selected. Help?

    Basically, I can't read a PDF file that is posted on the Internet. When I click on it, I get a window that opens, but nothing else but white space. My computer also does not allow me to select Adobe Reader as one of the viable applications to read the document

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    There are other things that need attention.

  • When I open a new tab and type in a URL, a new window opens, rather than the link appearing in the tab. Also, when opening links embedded in pages, these always open in new windows rather than tabs. I want to use tabs!

    I was cleaning my keyboard, I wonder if some button got pushed that altered the settings. But when I look at firefox's settings, nothing is obvious.

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

  • Every time I open Firefox a window comes up that says "checking compatability of addons". That takes a few seconds and then "Welcome to Firefox" window opens which I have to close to get to my homepage. Help!

    no additional info

    See:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    It is also possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
    Delete the files extensions.* (extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache, extensions.rdf) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry.<br />
    New files will be created when required.
    See "Corrupt extension files":
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
    If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to do a compatibility check or see if there is an update.

  • With no Firefox window open, I can't launch a new one. Or click on an email link and launch a window. This started when I upgraded to 5. Now I downgraded to 4 again and problem persists

    I upgraded to Firefox 5, then noticed when a window was open I couldn't launch another one. Or launch into Firefox off an email link. Or open a new window if there was none open.
    So I downgraded back to 4. Problem persists.

    Uninstall the ones you know about, yes.
    As regards the others, it's difficult to say. All you can do is to disable them all via Safe Mode (checkmark "Disable all add-ons", then "Make changes and restart") and then re-enable them one by one checking each time until the problem recurs. Laborious I know, but the only sound way of doing it I'm afraid.

  • For last 2 days, when I click on most sites, I can't connect. If I try again, sometimes the connection works. Happening with lots of my well-used bookmarks, so it is not the address that is the problem.

    Don't know what plug-ins are so can't answer the question about which I have.

    Hi,
    According to your description, maybe the disc is damaged or the disc is compatible with the drive. Since you cannot eject the drive,
    you can update the drive to see if the issue persists. Maybe the issue is due to the hardware of the
    Disk Drive, you can contact your computer’s vendor for assistance.
    In addition, since it is related to windows 7, maybe you can ask in the Windows 7IT Pro forum below for further assistance.

  • Why when I click on a hyperlink in an e-mail does Firefox open the website twice?

    Firefox i my default browser. When I click on a hyperlink in an e-mail two Firefox windows open at once, not one.

    This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.<br />
    You can try to disable all extension to see if it still happens.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    If it works in Safe mode or with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
    Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    You can also check for issues caused by DDE.

  • My MacBook Pro stated that it needed to be updated. I clicked yes to restart the computer and update but when it restarted it stays on the gray screen with the apple logo and then pops up, stating "unable to find driver for this platform." What do I do?

    My MacBook Pro stated that it needed to be updated. I clicked yes to restart the computer and update but when it restarted it stays on the gray screen with the apple logo and then pops up, stating "unable to find driver for this platform." What do I do?

    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with networks that require any kind of authentication other than a WPA or WPA2 Personal password.
    When the Mac OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the Mac OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac didn’t ship with Lion, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.
    Don't install the Thunderbolt update -- it's defective.

  • When clicking links from Thunderbird, Firefox creates a new link with no data, I have to click again to create a new link with the correct url

    When I click a link in thunderbird and also on firefox it creates a new tab with nothing in it, a blank web page. If I click the link again it creates a new tab with the link. If i click it again, a blank tab, click it again,new tab with the correct info. It seems to work only on the even numbered clicks not the odd ones.

    If you delete all the Adobe Reader stuff it will probably fix this. For almost everything, the Apple pdf handling works better.

    It sounds like you need to set it up, and that makes sense because you said that its a new iPod. Just go through the steps of setting up a new iPod and you should be good.

  • When I click on Firefox for the first time after I boot my PC it takes three minutes to but after that new Firefox windows open promptly.

    Hello and thank you for being available to receive this enquiry.
    I like Mozilla.
    I like Firefox.
    In recent months I have experienced and accumulation of problems. Today (September 25th, 2011) I have set about trying to deal with them.
    After consulting your Troubleshooting Section I have made a range of changes that I hope shall resolve problems like freezing, unresponsive scripts, non responding windows and browser crashes.
    At the time of writing I have rebooted after making those changes so I have yet to discover whether they solve those problems.
    However, I have chosen o write now as I already am re-experiencing the first problem I encounter when I boot my PC, i.e. Firefox takes three minutes at least to start after I click the icon. Once it has started, however, ne Firefox windows open promptly.
    How do I solve this? I rememebr a time when Firefox opened with lightning speed whenever I clicked the icon.
    Thank you for your valued help and interest.
    Patrick O' D.

    Hello Patrick O' D,
    In my experience t here are two different problems with the speed of firefox on startup
    # your os and setup
    # firefox - and exactly what you use with it
    Some factors will be down to your OS and for instance what does start up initially, many of those factors will affect other programmes/applications and not only firefox.
    Some other factors depend on Firefox and how you set that up, I always like to have the option to using Firebug but realise it cold clash with other software or slow down firefox startup so I only enable it as I need it. see for instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/performance/

  • When a link is rolled over by the mouse pointer a very annoying pop up with the link address shows up. There seems to be no way to prevent this from happening. How can this pop up be made to go away?

    no matter what website, every time I move the mouse pointer over something to click on a line of black printing in a thin white box pops up at the bottom of the screen and shows me the http address of the item I'm about to click on. I want to shut this function off or remove it if possible. I find that the previous version did not do this, it seems to be unique to 6.0. It's VERY distracting and ANNOYING. How can I make it go away????

    When you hover the mouse cursor over any link, it will display the link details at the bottom left of the screen; black font on white background.
    This display can be very important as it shows the full address of the hyperlink. This can be particulary useful for checking on whether the link is bona-fida. For example; if you receive an email that looks like it is from a bank , hovering over the link will indicate instantly that the link is pretending to be something it isn't.
    Another example that can be useful; a website link may say 'contact me' rather than give the actual email address. However, when you hover over the link, the actual email address will be displayed at the bottom of the screen. If you click on the link then Outlook usually opens, however I do not use Outlook, so displaying the email address is useful.
    This display is something that has always been present and it is also displayed if you use IE.
    However, I can see that this annoys you, so you could try the following:
    [[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/link-location-bar/?src=api]]
    After installing the addon, you will need to restart Firefox, then go to History and Restore previous session to get all your tabs and webpages back.
    You will now find that when you hover over any link, it will now display in your address bar on the right hand side.
    If this helps, please say this question has been solved.

  • Portlet Item Attr: "Link That Displays Item in New Browser Window"

    I have been searching the forums for a similar experience, but haven't found anything quite like this:
    I have a couple of portlets. One is a Discoverer Portlet, the other is something more basic: The "Developer News" portlet from the 9iAS Community portlet provider.
    After defining the portlets and looking at them, I edit the page and click the Edit button (little pencil) to edit the attributes.
    There are radio buttons for Display Options.
    One option is: "Link that Displays Item in New Browser Window."
    When I select this, OK, and then go back to the page, **the portlet doesn't show at all any more! There is no link, no nothing. Note that I have defined a Display Name, which should be the text for the link.
    It would seem that this feature flat out doesn't work.
    This technique for a popup works fine for an "Item" defined in an item region.
    Anyone?

    Yes -- I did do that after reading an article on metalink about such issues.
    This actually changes the problem.
    When I add the "Display name and image link" attribute to the region, I now do get a link.
    However, clicking it brings up an undefined Discoverer portlet.
    It works great for non-Disco portlets. For instance, I was able to pop up the "Developer News" portlet from the Oracle 9iAS Community portlet provider.
    I think the problem is that the link that Disco produces does not provide enough information to bring up the particular portlet. For instance, the URL does not have the workbook name, the worksheet name, the parameter values, etc.
    If anyone uses Disco w/ the portal, I would be curious to hear if anyone can reproduce this apparent bug / limitation.

  • Mobile drop down menu won't disappear once I have clicked one of the links in the drop down to take me to an anchor further down the page. I want the drop down to disappear upon clicking and scroll at the same time.

    Basically I have a drop down menu, which i have tried to create numerous times with different widgets available in muse or as freebies on the net.
    The menu within the drop down is a manual menu and each button links to an anchor on the page, so that when clicked the page scrolls to that anchor.
    My problems is that once I have clicked one of the links to go to the anchor further down the page the drop down remains. For the purpose of User Experience and fluidity across the mobile design i would like the drop down to disappear on click of the anchor link. Is this possible?
    Many thanks,
    Lew.

    Hi Brad,
    At the moment I have used an downloaded widget which utilises the acordian style to create the drop down. Here is a link to the Mobile version of the site - http://www.brainstormdesign.co.uk/phone/index.html
    Many thanks,
    Lew.

  • Is there a way to have Firefox open all of the links on a page without having to click on them individually?

    I frequently visit pages where I end up clicking through to all, or almost all of the links on that page (e.g., a chapter list page). I would like to just tell Firefox open all of the links on the page, each in it's own tab.
    Many thanks in advance!
