A second web browser opens when I initially open firefox.

a second web browser opens when I initially open firefox. This also happens in Aurora.

I am not sure what it is that you are seeing. Is it possible that Firefox is opening two windows?
If you have two Firefox windows open and close down Firefox, and have your preferences set to open as it was previously then it will open two windows.
You mention Firefox and Aurora. Do you have both of these installed on the same computer ? If so it would be a good idea to use separate unique profiles for each.

"Open XML Converter" opening when I click "Open in finder" in stacks

Today, suddenly, "Open XML Converter" opens when I click "Open in finder" in stacks or select a folder in Spotlight.
This happens in only one account (mine; I have quarantined admin and guest accounts).
I have repaired permissions a number of times, re-booted, used Time Machine to restore the Preferences folder from before it started up, deleted and re-installed the program and nothing changes it.
This is highly annoying and I don't know what to do, except delete Open XML Converter, which I'd rather not do.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Cannot open .jnlp file when asked to open with firefox web browser in ubuntu 11.10 using firefox 6

After upgrading to ubuntu 11.10 the firefox 6 browser cannot download and open .jnlp file from the interactivebrokers website. Usually I go to the IB website and download tws.jnlp file which is opened in the firefox web browser. But now when I click on the Open with Firefox Browser button, the firefox browser opens a new tab and display the same open window again.

Seems that after upgrading to 11.10, jnlp files open with firefox instead of javaws (Java Web Start).
If you right click the file on the download folder and choose "open with" you can manually select java web start.
Ubuntu bug...
You can right click any .jnlp file and select "properties", go to "Open With" tab, mark Sun Java 6 Web Start and click "Set as Default". Should fix it. I don't know what would happen if you have the default ubuntu java instead of Sun's. Maybe this wouldn't be necessary.

Please install a web browser error when generating htm documents

Hello,
I have looked through the forums and did find some ideas to try to fix this issue but none have worked so far. One idea was to go into the Windows folder options and make sure that htm and html files are assoiciated with Internet Explorer. I looked into this and IE was already set as the default application to open htm/html files. Just for grins I looked in the control panel's program access and defaults and confirmed the primary web browser was also set to IE.
A bit of background...
Windows XP pro machine, with RH 8. Also, using IE 8 with the lastest updates applied. Also, I can generate other smaller RH projects from this PC and other PCs can generate the project I'm having trouble with. So I am fairly certain the problem is not the PC or the project in question. A Windows problem maybe??
Any help would be great.
Thanks,
-Wagstaff

Hello again
Odd that it failed to work for you. Seems it's worked for all others in the past but there's always a time when a magick cure won't, eh?
What you posted gives me pause to wonder if you understood what I suggested. You seem to have simply performed a test using a notepad document. What I suggested was to re-associate .HTM files so that when you double-clicked them to open, Notepad opened instead of the browser.
One thing I neglected to mention was that you should probably close RoboHelp before doing the unassociate/reassociate hokey pokey. RoboHelp has places in the registry too.
Cheers... Rick

'''Kill Application'''
In Task Manager, does firefox.exe show in the '''Processes''' tab?
See: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Kill_application Kill Application]
'''Causes and solutions for Firefox hanging at exit:'''
[[Firefox hangs]]
[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs#Hang_at_exit Firefox hangs at exit]
[[Firefox is already running but is not responding]]
'''Safe Mode'''
You may need to use '''[[Safe Mode]]''' (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes '''before''' starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
See:
'''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]'''
'''[[Troubleshooting plugins]]'''
'''[[Basic Troubleshooting]]'''
If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling '''one at a time''' until the problem reappears. '''You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change''' via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.

Firefox memorizes tabs opened when I initiated a close group, exiting out of Firefox to avoid spam websites from downloading onto my computer; why is Firefox re-opening all the tabs I purposely closed down?

On the occasion I search Google.com for images/wallpapers etc while opening multiple tabs, keeping the original page. Seldom the website crashes, causing all my tabs to close, while Firefox restores the websites opened. When this happens, I do appreciate Firefox restoring my lost tabs. However, when I initiate closing the browser, I do NOT wish for Firefox to restore the closed browser. I purposely closed the browser, either the website freezes, or there's spam occurring on that website, or an attempt to download a virus through the 3rd party's website, therefore I choose to shut down the browser in order to start new. When unwanted events like this occurs, I do NOT want Firefox to remember my last browsing history and restore such tabs. It's rather a nuisance and unwanted on Firefox's part. I do not know how to resolve this matter since I'm only a beginner with setting up Privacy settings etc, so please enlighten me.

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session. 
You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page. 
Another possibility is to use:
* [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences Firefox (Tools) > Options] > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox.

If I click a link in my email service(Thunderbird) which opens a web page. When I later open Firefox, the previous page appears instead of my home page. How do I stop this?

Firefox opens for 2 seconds then closes until it opens again ,with the link page, instead of my Home Page

I use Ubuntu 10.04 and I also get this problem when attempting to open a link through TBird 3.1.10. Firefox 4.0.1 '''opens to my homepage only'''. I have to physically put the link address in the address bar to go to the link.

Web browser closes when printing

Every time I have a web page on my screen that I want to print, as soon as I hit "file" then "print" my web browser automatically closes and I get an error message. I never used to have this problem.

Hello old:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
How did you "update" to OS X 10.4?
I suspect taht you will have to go back to wherever you were and start over. Hopefully you made a good clone of your previous system.

Firefox 6 ,Hyperlink not opening when I select Open In New Tab, it always Open In New Windows.

I have just upgrade to Firefox 6 and I having problems opening Hyperlink when I select Open In New Tab, it always Open In New Windows. It will work when I open another copy of Firefox browser but not on my main browser. Any suggestions to fix this ?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

How do I get rid of two tabs opening when I first open Firefox?

When I first open Firefox I get my home page in one tab but another tab opens also. That one is set for Facebook. How do I get rid of the automatically opening second tab?

Do you get both pages if you launch a new window using either:
* Ctrl+n
* "3-bar" menu button > New Window
''If yes:''
Check your home page setting to see if you have multiple home tabs. A vertical bar (|) is used between the addresses. This article shows where to check this in the Options dialog: [[Startup, home page and download settings]]. This article has more background on multiple home tabs: [[How to set the home page]].
''If no, or if the Options dialog is okay:''
Add-ons may display tabs at startup or in a new window. If you check the address of the Facebook page, is it the normal Facebook URL ([https://www.facebook.com/]) or a different address?
Do you have any Facebook-related extensions? You can review, disable, and often remove extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Any improvement?

I want a new window to open when I click the Firefox icon on the taskbar. I don't want to have to right click, then choose "open new window". I have Windows 7.

I want to be able to open a new browser window when I click on the Firefox icon on the taskbar. I don't want to have to right click and select anything. I have windows 7.

This is a "pinned" icon? Try holding the Shift key when you click it -- that seems to work for me.

Some of my apps won't open- when try to open..they just shut down when opening..?

Hi guys... Any tech advice would be welcome... My first time on this forum..
Some of my apps won't open- when I try to open them..it just shuts them down.
It then goes back to the home screen. This is happening on eBay, calander, bbc news. Each day is different one.
Then it seems to be ok, and hey hey... It does it again!
Usually choosing another app?
It also drops out sometimes, if I go from an eBay item link to Safari.
Again back to the home screen....
I have had these problems for about 6 weeks, my iPad is 2 months old..
It's first iPad, and I love it!
but never had any problems before like these on my iPhones..
Thanks

troublshooting:
go to your open apps (double click on the home button). remove all of the apps you have open there.
Restarting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Follow these steps to reset your device
Note: Reset your device only if it is no longer responding and the steps above do not work.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
if those don't work you may have to restore your ipad and see if that doesn't fix anything
I think your issue is an open tab you have in Safari but it could be a number of things.
If these don't work, I would go to the apple store, tell them you pretty much did everything you could and the issue comes back, then you can deduce what the issue is possible by keeping track of which apps you have open.

Sub vi front panel opens when main vi opens

When I open my main vi I have one of my sub vi front panels that opens. I looked in the properties for the sub vi and Show front panel when loaded is NOT checked. Is there something else I need to look at?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

please clarify;
Q1)
The sub-VI FP opens when
You open the top VI but BEFORE you run it
OR
The sub-VI FP opens after you start the top level VI
Q2)
If the above Q was after you run....
Is the sub-VI running or paused when it opens?
If it is puased you may have a breakpoint set in it.

Firefox home page doesn't open when I click on Firefox. Have to go to File and click on New Window to get into Start Page.

Firefox doesn't open when I click on it. I have to click on New Window under File to get my bookmarks and a search page
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== No way to know. Nothing new has been done to Firefox.

If you close Firefox, then start Firefox in Safe Mode, does the problem still occur? For instructions on starting in Safe Mode, see [[Safe Mode]].
BTW, you really should upgrade to the latest version. See [[Updating Firefox]]
