Why won't firefox allow me to have more than one window open at a time?

Firefox will only open one window regardless of how I attempt to open another window. How is the remedied?
I updated to firefox 7.0 after this occurred but has not helped.
I have looked through the options and cannot find any options that will help.

Similar questions have been posted several times during the past year, but no one has posted back to confirm the cause of the problem. The most likely culprit is an add-on (or, if you have multiple displays, the window opening off-screen).
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, check out this article:

Any luck?

How can I have more than one window open at a time, say to compare information?

As I am doing family research, I sometimes need to have a window open so I can transfer some of the information to another window, or to double check dates etc. Although the information is available instantly by clicking on tabs, I would still prefer to have it in front of me for comparison.

You can tear off a tab (right-click: Move to New Window) to open it in another window and resize both windows so you see them at the same time.

When in safari how can i have more than one window open?? New ios doesnt allow it.

Problem is when i updated to the newest ios 7. The dang thing doesnt allow me to have more than one window open at any time. This only makes things repetitive, complicated and slow. Moreover, the icons and overall view are probably designed to be in a kindergarden game, cos they look really stupid on iPad, whos gonna take apple seriously with this so called "improvements". If anyone knows how to open more than one window at at atime i,ll be really grateful to be told. Or if anyone can tell me how to uninstall the friking update i,ll be even more grateful. Thanx guys.

How can I have more than one page open at a time?

I would like to have more than one page open at a time- not tabs, but whole pages. How can I do this? I want to be able to have the pages side by side, instead of having to switch back and forth.

Pen pressure sensitivity stops when I have more than one window open

I recently upgraded to Flash CC and have noticed some new bugs. Here's one of them:
When I have more than one document open at a time, my pen pressure sensitivity stops working. In fact, it seems to work on the newest opened document, but will stop working on any previosuly opened documents. If all but one document is closed, the pen pressure returns.
I'm using Windows 8, and a Cintiq 21UX.
Steps to reproduce:
- Launch Flash.
- Open a new document.
- Select the "Brush" tool.
- Toggle "Use pressure" in the tool bar.
- Draw something to make sure the pen pressure is working.
- Open a new document.
- Draw something to make sure the pen pressure is working.
- Return to the previous document and attempt to draw.
- Notice how the pen pressure is absent.
Any help or suggestions would be great. Thank you.

No problem. I've been using older versions of Flash until CC gets the bugs squashed. This pressure issue is a deal breaker for my coworkers and me, and also this audio one: http://forums.adobe.com/message/6013488?tstart=0

How to have more than one project open at a time

I can't seem to find a way to have more than one project window open at a time.
This would be sweet. Currently chopping down a 60 minute rehearsal record into separate tracks. Kind of a pain.

Is that an iTunes question? Are you sure you posted in the correct forum.

Can I have more than one library open at a time?

I have multiple libraries and would like an easier way than closing and opening each one. Also it doesn't say which itunes library is open - they are all just called itunes

No, you can only have one library open at a time and iTunes will always default to the last one opened unless you use the key combination to choose one. When you create a new library you can give it a name to identify it by.

It is necessary for me to have more than one window open in Firefox, and the command (New Window) no longer works. How do I have two different websites open at the same time on separate displays?

I used to be able to open two Firefox windows at a time, with one website on one display and another website on another display. Now when I select New Window, nothing happens.

You can tear off a tab (right-click: Move to New Window) to open it in another window and resize both windows so you see them at the same time.

How do I stop Firefox from opening all of my firefox sessions when I request a new window? If I have more than one window open and minimized at bottom of screen ...

any time I request a new session all sessions are opened and presented on the screen.

-> Tap '''ALT''' key or press '''F10''' to show the Menu Bar
-> go to Help Menu -> select '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled'''
Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
-> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> unselect All Unwanted/Incompatible Toolbars
-> go to Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> '''Time range to clear: select "EVERYTHING"''' -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on '''Cookies, Cache''' -> click '''Clear Now'''
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> General -> '''When Firefox starts : select "Show My Home Page"''' and click '''Reset to Default''' button
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Content -> place Checkmark on '''Block Pop-up windows''' -> click '''Exceptions...''' and click '''Remove All Sites'''
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Privacy -> History section -> '''Firefox will: select "Remember History"'''
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Security -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons 2) Block reported attack sites 3) Block reported web forgeries
-> Click OK on Options window
-> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious/Incompatible Extensions (Add-ons)
-> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Appearance section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious/Incompatible Themes (Persona)
-> Restart Firefox
You can enable your Known & Trustworthy Add-ons and Themes later. Check and tell if its working.

Just bot a macbook pro to replace one of my pc's. can't figure out how to have more than one website open at a time like explorer. Is it possible to do?

I can't figure out how to open more than one website at a time like explorer does on a pc. would like to know if it Is possible or not.

Tabbed browsing is the way. Go to Safari's View menu:
and click "Show Tab Bar." When you see a link on another site you wish to open without closing the first site, simply right-click and select "Open Link in New Tab."

With more than one window open in firefox 4 I starts to drain my memory

With mozilla 4 I have more than one window open and my memory which has 2 gigs in it starts to drain and then everything freezes.

Which Windows platform shouldn't make much difference. The screenshot may look as coming from an older Windows version, but the basics should be the same.
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")

When I have more than one tab open, if I click on a picture to view, when the window opens to view the photo, firefox crashes. I also notice while looking at a web page, the pinned tabs to the left of the bar are constantly reloading for some reason.

When I have more than one tab open, if I click on a picture to view/enlarge, say eBay, and I click on the items photo to enlarge it, when the window opens to view the photo, Firefox crashes. I also notice while looking at a web page, the pinned tabs to the left of the bar are constantly reloading for some reason, The green circle starts going round and round for no reason even though the tab is not being viewed. Both problems seem to have started after the last software update.

Can you have more than one profile open at once in FF 4?

I'm having problems with Profiles but if I can't have more than one profile open at once then I guess that's why.

Thanks, but I just found out about Tab Groups and I think I'll stick with them as they seem to be designed to solve my problem in an economical way. If I'm wrong please let me know!
