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).

  • Sometimes when I open a link in a new tab and then switch to the tab, the address bar clears and the website won't open.

    Sometimes when I open a link in a new tab and then switch to the tab, the address bar clears and I'll have to re open the tab and hope that doesn't happen again. Sometimes this happens again and again. Most of the times if I just open the link in a new tab and don't switch to it, this won't happen. But as I switch too the tab, the text would disappear and the link wouldn't open.

  • New tabs are not updating the names of the sites they have loaded. When I open a new tab and load a site, the tab simply stays named "New Tab". When I open a link in a new window, it shows "Connecting..." even while its fully loaded.

  • "When I open a link in a new tab, switch.." Doesnt work correctly

    I'm using Firefox 28.0 (Waterfox build)
    I've verified that:
    - browser.tabs.loadInBackground: False
    - browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground: True
    - "When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately" is enabled in the UI.
    It seems only some websites actually switch to the new tab. Also, sometimes, this feature will stop working all together; requiring me to toggle the Firefox UI setting and/or restart firefox.

    When I sync my iPad to download new pictures to my library, my existing library gets deleted. How can I stop this from happening?

    The way I sync mine is to have an 'master' folder on my computer, and underneath it I have separate folders for the photos that I want to sync to the iPad - I then select the master folder in iTunes and the folders underneath it are synced to the iPad, each getting their own album.
    There is some info on syncing folders on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236

    You can do it from the iPad or from a computer, whichever is easiest:
    Set up an Apple ID in iTunes - Apple Support
    And then set up the iCloud account for that Apple ID:

  • When I open a link in a new tab, firefox switches to the new tab

    When I open a link and instruct to open in a new tab , it switches me to that tab !
    I have under tools>options>tabs>
    unchecked "switch to new tab immediately"
    And it still switches to the new tab, this is frustrating...

    I fixed it by disabling the Divx add-ons in Firefox. Hope that helps you

  • Using Firefox 4.0 Beta 4. When I open a link in a new window, the web address does not show in the location bar. Why?

    When I open a web page link in "a new window" the link opens, but the web page information does not appear in the location bar. It is blank. If I open the link in a new tab, there is ho problem.
    Further, if a open a link from the tab without a location in a new tab on the same window and then go back to the original tab, the location bar fills with the web address.
    Have done this starting in several locations, so it not location dependent.

    That behaviour is likely top be caused by an add-on, and in your case the likely culprit is IE Tab 2, the various versions of IE Tab have caused problems with Firefox 4 beta including issues with the location bar not being updated.
    You can test to see if IE Tab 2 is causing your problem by disabling it and then seeing if the location bar in a new window shows the address. If it is not that add-on causing the problem, see [[troubleshooting extensions and themes]].
    For info, the IE Tab Plus add-on has been updated recently to improve compatibility with Firefox 4 beta, you may want to try that one instead. The latest version is available from http://coralietab.mozdev.org/installation.html

  • "When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately" option has no effect on command+clicking on links.

    Whether this option is ticked or un-ticked, command+clicking a link will open the link in a new tab and immediately switch to it.
    Is it possible to change this behavior so that command+clicking on a link will open the link in a new tab in the background?

    Did you try to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting?
    Does holding down the Shift key in addition (i.e. Command + Shift and a left-click) has any effect?
