Can no longer close tabs by clicking wheel button in FF-4

I have a basic optical mouse and extension Tab Mix Plus. I was always able to close the tab that I was in (anywhere within the page) by clicking the center wheel button. This was very convenient. I can close the tab by putting the mouse pointer on the tab bar and clicking the center wheel - but not as convenient as I have to make sure I'm on the open tab bar.

Does pressing that wheel work otherwise like opening a link in a new tab or starting auto scroll?

    Also, Firefox crashes frequently. Is there a fix for this also?

    Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox 3.6 that prevents new tabs from being opened.
    There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
    * Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
    * Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons
    For the second issue, the [[Firefox crashes]] support article may help.

  • After upgrading ipad to iOS 7.1 I can no longer close open apps by double clicking home button. Any other way to close open apps?

    After upgrading ipad to iOS 7.1 I can no longer close open apps by double clicking home button.  Any ideas

    Double-tap on the Home button. You will see a preview of the app above the actual icon. Slide the preview up to kill it.

  • Since I updated my 4S iphone to the latest iOS7 version, I can no longer close any of my apps.  As a result, all my apps remain open on my phone.  Even powering down and restarting does not solve the problem.  Specifically, the icons don't wiggle anymore.

    Since I updated my 4S iphone to the latest iOS7 version, I can no longer close any of my apps.  As a result, all my apps remain open on my phone.  Even powering down and restarting does not solve the problem.  Specifically, when I double-click the start button, my open app icons display.  But when I hold my finger on an icon, the apps do not wiggle and display an "x" to close.  Any advice... thanks?!

    Double tap the Home button, then swop upwards on the App Preview (not the App Icon). Tap the Home button again when done to return to normal screen.

  • With version 3.6.3 I can no longer do a right click with the mouse and check the properties of a live url link on web pages

    Windows XP Pro, SP3. Firefox 3.6.3. Ever since updating to this version a few weeks ago I can no longer do a right click of the mouse and check the properties of an active url link on webpages. I've always had the option before. I want this feature back!!!!

    In Firefox 3.6 Properties has been removed from the right click context menu.
    You can use ''View Image Info'' or ''View Page Info'' in the right click context menu to see the (image) properties.
    You can use the above mentioned extension (Element Properties 6) to get that context menu item back.

  • I can'r open a new tab by clicking 'open new tab', I can open a new tab by clicking mouse wheel though

    I can no longer open a new tab by simply clicking on the + or 'open new tab' in drop down...I can open pages in a new tab by clicking mouse wheel though. I have not made any settings changes.

    Please take a couple of minutes to return to the forum, log in with your User Name and Password, and click on "Solved" next to the answer that solved your problem. Doing so will help other users find questions with solutions. Thanks.
    Ask, and other items, can get installed along with "free" software that you download from the internet. Be careful about looking for "opt-out" options for installing toolbars, search engines, virus scanners, and other "extras" when installing software.

  • Since upgrading to 3.6.13, i can no longer open tabs using the extension, only by right clicking on the open page, and then not always. I've had to go to Chrome as i can't get firefox to work.

    Firefox worked great. I have been using it for years. When i completed the recent update to 3.6.13, the new tab button/extension little + box quit working. I can click and nothing happens. I right click, get the drop down menu but nothing works. I cannot open a blank tab or windwo as when i want to go somewhere new without closing windows i have open. The only way i can access a new tab is if i go to my bookmarks and open one then use that screen to go where i wanted to go. I've had to switch to Google Chrome to complete tasks i need done online, but it doesn't let me do a lot of what i want to.

    I'll try to make this clear. I USED to be able to left click on a hyper link and the hyper link would open in a NEW tab. Now for some unknown reason the hyper link by default opens in the same tab (window). I have to right click the hyper link in order for it to open in a NEW tab. (Yes, my 'tools'> 'options'> 'tabs' are set to "open new windows in a new tab." (Please no answers telling me to get rid of the Ask toolbar because I don't have one.) Thank you.

  • How Can I Recover Paid For iPod Click Wheel Games

    Well, well, well.  It seems that Apple iTunes had really ****** me off today.  Here is what happened
    Recovering iPod Classic Click Wheel Games
    Here is my story and at the bottom are my Questions
    The hard drive on my old computer crashed and I bought myself a new one.  When I finally decided to put more on music onto my iPod Classic something happened.  iTunes disabled without deleting my $300 worth of iPod Classic Click Wheel Games.  I've called and contacted them for support to no avail.  I believe I forgot to authorize my new computer before putting on my new music.
    Just before Christmas I called Apple support asking questions & the man on the phone didn't have very good advice for me.  He said that maybe iTunes could replace the games for me.  So I started looking at iTunes for iPod Classic Click Wheel Games and they were no where to be found.  Apparently Apple had removed them from the store and yet they sell iPod classics.
    http://www.macrumors.com/2011/09/30/apple-removes-ipod-click-wheel-games-from-it unes/
    After Christmas I tried again to contact them about my iPod Classic to try and have my $300 worth of click wheel games replaced.  While I waited on the phone for an hour while they played poor quality music into my ear giving me sever headache.  I was already frustrated as it is and when I got a hold of someone she I had trouble understanding her.  (I have poor hearing, had a headache and was frustrated)  She gave me advice to contact Apple about the iTunes store.  I called again and got a hold of someone who i could better understand.  He gave me a step by step information which was the same as the last person I had contacted.
    Now I sent an email to iTunes store asking if i could get help
    All the iPod Classic Click wheel games files were still on my iPod.  Now I needed some way of retrieving the files.  I made a that attempt at contacting apple and they told me that i Could "Check for Available Downloads".  Which was the very first thing I'd Tried.  But these are files which i believe apple only allowed One Download.  I could not get my files from Apple.
    Now I sent them a 4th Very long message stating what happened and Asking for Answers for Four Questions.
    The files are still on my iPod Classic & I would like to Please get some answers to My Questions Which I WANT You PLEASE to Help Me with.  
    The files are still on my iPod Classic & I would like to know.
    1) Is there a way for me to Re-Activate my 2.3gb of iPod Classic Games so that they will once again work?
    2) Is it possible to copy the games from my iPod onto my computer & How Can I Copy these iPod Classic Games from my iPod Back Onto my Computer?
    3) If I can find these files from somewhere else lets say one of my friends or Bit Torrent.  Can I copy or download the files to Replace my $300 worth of games and put them back onto my iPod?   
    4) If I find a way to replace my games without Apple & iTunes help.  Will Apple iTunes let me put the games back onto my iPod without deleting them thinking that I have stolen something which i paid for?  
    After all I have already paid for the files. 
    I really want to Download these games back from Apple iTunes Or to re-activate my iPod classic games and copy them from my iPod back onto my computer.  It seems that this isn't possible.  If this isn't possible I Am Going to Be very Skeptical about ever getting a iPod Touch or iPhone.  I've already been telling a lot of people about my problem.
    So Far Unfortunately for me Apple & iTunes has not been very much help.
    Thank You for reading my message.  Please help me with the answers to the 4 Questions
    The message which they sent back Has Made Me Angry.  I'm Not going on apple pay per incident Paying $35 for a phone call if they can't send me an email with answers to these four ******g questions.  So I suppose you can tell that right now I Am ****** Off.
    Since I sent the first message I authorized my new computer which didn't re-activate me games. 
    Then I went onto Google searching "how to copy files from iPod to computer." 
    Which Led me to this website
    http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/copying-music-from-ipod-to-co mputer/
    I downloaded a trial version of Touch Copy
    Somehow I managed to re-activate my lost games and copy most of the files back onto my computer using "Touch Copy". 
    Then I downloaded the last 4 missing files from somewhere else but I'm not posting where i got them.
    Now that I have fixed my problem without Apple's expensive help
    I Really Want To Know the answers to questions # 3 & 4
    3) Can I copy or download the files to Replace my $300 worth of games and put them back onto my iPod?
    4) Will Apple iTunes let me put the games back onto my iPod without deleting them thinking that I have stolen something which i paid for?  
    After all I have already paid $300 for the files.
    I Thank You For taking the time to read my message. 
    PLEASE HELP ME

    Transfer your purchases into an authorized library, recover other media from the device, restore the device.

    Transfer your purchases into an authorized library
    3) If I can find these files from somewhere else lets say one of my friends or Bit Torrent.  Can I copy or download the files to Replace my $300 worth of games and put them back onto my iPod?  
    Not really. All ClickWheel games should be locked to the account used to purchase them. If your friend wished to authorize your library that would work. At the time of purchase you were told that you got only one (successful) download of the content after which it would be your responsibility to maintain backups.
    4) If I find a way to replace my games without Apple & iTunes help.  Will Apple iTunes let me put the games back onto my iPod without deleting them thinking that I have stolen something which i paid for?  
    It will be fine. If you transfer the games into your library they can then be copied to any compatible device where they will work. The key is that the library doing the transfer is authorized to the relevant account when you update the content.

    [BUG FIXED, see "EDIT 2" at the end of my post]
    I'm on Firefox 3.6.21, and I got this problem today after a Greasemonkey update (To version 0.9.10, apparently).
    Disabling Greasemonkey solved the problem, and re-enabling it reproduced the problem (middle-clicking links to open in new tab did not work, merely highlighted the link).
    I should also note that while Greasemonkey was enabled and the bug was affecting me, Ctrl+Click to open links in new tabs was also broken.
    I hope this helps!
    EDIT: It appears this is a known incompatibility/conflict bug between current versions of Greasemonkey and Tab Mix Plus. Read more here:
    https://github.com/greasemonkey/greasemonkey/issues/1406
    EDIT 2: GREASEMONKEY HAS NOW BEEN UPDATED with a workaround to fix the problem. Go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/versions/ to install the update manually. It hasn't been reviewed by Mozilla yet, so it won't be an automatic update for another day or two. All credit to "cannonfodder" below for noticing this; please mark his post as helpful!

  • Regression from CoolEdit: Can no longer close file if playback is on.

    Hello,
    I open a bunch of files.
    I'm jumping around.
    I'm listening to selections.
    I'm copying selection ranges to new files.
    I'm making a whole bunch of cuts.
    I'm closing files and cuts I no longer need.
    I'm jumping, listening, closing. editing, jumping, copying. Doing stuff.
    I'm flowing.
    You've inserted a new step right into this middle of this workflow which accomplishes absolutely nothing except to slow me down:
    I can no longer right click a file and press "Close Files" if playback is engaged.
    The "Close Files" context menu entries is now grayed out for no reason.
    Who cares if playback is on? I want to close the file. I just *listened to something in it* to find out that it's one I don't need anymore.
    best regards,
    - Pzyn

  • Why can't I close tabs?

    More often than not, when I close a tab, it won't close. After clicking the X to close a tab, it renders that tab inaccessible, but it remains visible. To fix, I have to restart Firefox. Then I am able to get to those tabs and close them. I've tried sending them to a new window, but a new window opens up blank and the tab I'm trying to close stayed in the main window. I've also tried pinning and unpinning it, but nothing works aside from restarting Firefox.

    I can't control size of screen, I can't open or close separate windows. It may not be firefox, it may be Linux/Unity sidebar but please don't make me study your product to try and trouble-shoot it, I am not a web-developer, those tools are useless to me, I just need a version that works out-of-the-box for Linux 12.0.4. No my add-ons are not the problem. Where are all the features I cam to associate with firefox? They are gone.

    Connect the iPod nano to the computer the exact same way you set up the old one. You don't need to create another Apple ID, iTunes Store account, or iTunes library.

  • I can no longer open tabs while in Mozilla Firefox. It only opens my default site.

    I keep losing internet connection via IE. I have been using Mozilla Firefox and, I am now starting to drop internet connection via Firefox. I've had my router checked and that is not the problem. When I do connect and see my default page, I can no longer access additional tabs to go to other sites. Please advise.
