Can only open 1 Firefox window

I am unable to open multiple Firefox windows.
Was able to do that a week ago, but I cannot.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • I can only open one Firefox browser window. When I click the firefox icon from desktop or taskbar to open up another browser window it does not open. I am ablt to open up new tabs within the one window.

    I can only open one Firefox browser window. When I click the firefox icon from desktop or taskbar to open up another browser window it does not open. I am ablt to open up new tabs within the one window.

    Have you tried: click Firefox button > New Tab > New Window '''''OR''''' CTRL+N '''''OR''''' File > New Window (if using the Menu Bar)
    Once open, Firefox locks the Profile that is in use and you can not open another window with that Firefox version and Profile combination using the Windows Desktop icon or the Windows Programs list.

  • I can only open up one window with multiple tabs; right click "open in a new window" does not work. I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled Firefox with same results.

    Just bought a new i5 laptop and am transferring files, etc onto new box. Last night I had two separate Firefox windows up. I downloaded Nexus Ultimate late and rebooted this morning. I had to restart Firefox then, and it did not save my settings/tabs as I prompted it to do when it shut down to reboot.
    I uninstalled Nexus and wasted many hours trying to resolve this, including two failed system restores (looks like Nexus is a dirty little bugger) Windows Explorer will open up multiple windows. Firefox will not. Help.

  • Can't open more firefox windows.

    Just installed the newest v of Firefox. Now I cannot open more than one firefox window, either through keyboard shortcut, right click, or manually through FF. Help :(

    Just disable all add-ons via the safe mode dialog. Then re-enable them one by one, check for the issue after enabling each. After you enable a troublesome add-on, the issue will start happening... meaning you find the culprit!
    The solution would be to stop using it and find alternative ways to do the same function. You can also notify the troublesome add-on author of the issue for it to be fixed in a next release of the add-on.

  • I can not open 2 firefox windows

    I am using Windows7
    I have disunstalled Firefox 3.6.12 and re-installed it.
    When one firefox window is open and if i click on File -> New Window
    No new firefox windows opens!
    If I surf on a web site and I point with my mouse a link and click rignt and then select "open in Link in a new window", no new window opens!

    All I had to remove was AVG Safe Search...AVG Security Tool Bar is ok.
    That add-on screw everything up. Gmail notifier, right click pop ups would come up blank (Can't view properties, etc), tool drop down menu's were blank.
    Stupid AVG!

  • I upgraded to 10.0.1 on my macbook pro and now I can only open a single window -- what happened?

    Since upgrading to 10.0.1 I have not been able to open more than one window in firefox. If i have a window already open going to "open" does nothing. This is extremely frustrating. I'm using a macbook pro.
    I remember this happening some time ago and the fix involved setting an option somewhere ...

    It's been so long since I bought my macbook pro in August of 2010, but I do remember the iwork disk that had pages, numbers, and keynote on it, but I can't find the disk in my closet.  I did not realize that when I took my computer in to the genius bar to upgrade to Snow Leopard, and then to download Yosemite, that I would lose these applications.  I had no reason to open pages when I emptied my hard drive to upgrade to Snow Leopard, so I don't know if I kept iwork when I upgraded to Snow Leopard at the Genius Bar.  I had file vault on with my external drive on, and since removed it before the upgrade, but now all my documents are unable to open on my external drive.  ****.  So now the new problem is how do I undo file vault in a new OS 10.10 when encoded in 6.8?  Can I take my external drive in to Genius Bar?  
    I bought my macbook pro at Best Buy, but can't remember if iwork came with this computer, or with an older mac I bought.  Can anyone check to see if I have a valid key code, and will insertion of an iwork disc allow me to use pages with Yosmite?

  • Can only open firefox once, have to restart to open more than one browser. can't upload any pictures the box doesn't pop up, my browser settings are diff now

    Firefox just changed out of nowhere. I can only open firefox once... I used to have atleast 2 browsers up using them both on different sites, but now I can't have but one firefox browser up (not tabs, but firefox pages) Also when I am trying to upload images on ebay or any other site nothing happens... nothing pops up. I click it over and over and nothing even pops up. This is exactly what happens with the firefox browser in my first question... I can click the firefox icon a million times and nothing comes up. My tabs are all gone and it doesn't show anything like I had before this all changed? Did I reset everything some how? I do not recall clicking anything to go back... I do remember clicking an update because it kept poping up so I did it and that is the last thing I remember before this happened! UGHHH!

    As I asked previously are you able to have tabs open as a window by using the right clicking option ?
    When you close Firefox you should use
    *'''Firefox button -> File -> Exit '''
    Are you doing that ?
    I suspect what may be happening is Firefox is hanging as it closes down.
    * see [[Firefox hangs or is not responding - How to fix#w_firefox-hangs-when-you-quit-it]]_firefox-hangs-when-you-quit-it
    * this explains how to check & if necessary kill the process [["Firefox is already running but is not responding" error message - How to fix it#w_end-firefox-processes]]_end-firefox-processes
    A related possible problem is that you may have built up many copies of the restore files. These are stored in the Firefox profile. The easiest method of finding the profile location istouse
    *use '''Firefox button -> Help -> Troubleshooting Information <br /> -> [Show Folder]'''
    *see [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]]
    You need to look for the files ''sessionstore.js'' and numbered duplicates of that. Delete them.

  • I can't open another Firefox 3.6.10 window in Win 7 (32)

    Having opened a Firefox window, and wishing to open another, clicking on the Firefox icon does not bring up a new Firefox window of late. I can still go to an existing Firefox window and press ctrl + N and this works.
    This problem arose in earlier versions of the 3.6 tree, but back then the point at which new windows could not be opened required more windows to be open. In older versions, one would get a new window, but it would be "browned out" at the top - (no icons visible). I have 4 MB of ram, and few if any other applications running at the time.

    Use Tony's suggestion. I am running it right now and it is awesome. I love Mozilla but they basically screwed all of those older Macs over. Come on Mozilla. These Macs still work, and there are plenty of people with them out there.

  • Using windows vista with two users and I can only open books with adobe digital editions on one account?

    using windows vista with two users and I can only open books with adobe digital edition

    You must authorize the second computer with the same Adobe ID.
    There are sometimes issues with this registration: if you have them ....
    Sometimes ADE gets its registration/activation confused and in a semi-authorized state.
    Uninstalling and reinstalling does not help.
    Unfortunately, it often then gives misleading error messages about what is wrong.
    A common incorrect message informs you that the ID is already in use on another computer and cannot be reused.
    This can often be resolved by completely removing any authorization using ctrl-shift-D to the Library screen on ADE (cmd-shift-D if on Mac).
    Restart ADE, and then reauthorize with your (old) Adobe ID.

  • When I click on an Icon on my desktop to take me to a site (such as google) I get a message that it could not find the loaction. Then it goes ahead and opens a Firefox window with the site anyway as if the message never happened.

    When I click on an Icon on my desktop to take me to a site (such as Google) I get a message that it could not find the location. Then it goes ahead and opens a Firefox window with the site anyway as if the message never happened. Then when I close the window I see that the message is still there. I have to close it separately. Any suggestions? Oh, and this only happens if Firefox is NOT already active. If I have another Firefox window open when I click on the Icon, it just opens as expected. This message appears no matter which site Icon I select. It did not happen before I upgraded to ver 9.0.

    Hello BassoonPlayer,
    Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using.  FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in.  This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly.  By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you.  Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.

  • Since updating to 3.6.11 I can't open multiple browser windows. Windows 7 Pro

    Using Win 7 Pro I've always been able to open multiple Firefox browser windows. Since updating to Firefox 3.6.11 I can only open one window at a time. I can still have multiple windows open using Internet Explorer or Chrome.

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

  • Right click to open new firefox window opens in wrong workspace

    Right click in Mac Dock to open new firefox window opens in wrong workspace.
    When a user is in another workspace than the Firefox window, right clicking the Firefox icon in the dock and pressing New Window, should create a new window in the current workspace, Not the work space firefox is already running in.

    To be absolutely honest, I can't ever remember a time where this worked in Firefox. I don't think the issue is related to the issue you mentioned, unless this particular issue only occurs if you have a dual-monitor-setup (I do have dual-monitors).
    Firefox currently behaves differently to all native Mac apps + most Mac apps that support multiple windows.

  • I can't open CS5 in windows 7 it tells me "Programm is locked or you are not legitimated". Bridge and Camera draw are working ok

    I can't open CS5 in Windows 7. It tells me "application is locked or you don't have legitimation". Bridge and Camera Raw are OK.

    Hi,
         thank you for your answer.
         The original Text photoshop showing me is the following:
         Konnte ein Arbeitsvolumen nicht öffnen, weil die Datei gesperrt ist
    oder Sie keine ausreichende Berechtigung haben. Heben Sie den Schutz
    der Datei mit Hilfe des Befehls 'Eigenschaften' im Windows Explorer
    auf.
         Sorry I can tell you this only in German. 
         After Installation the Version 64 Bit couldn't work because of this
    sentence (Windows 7 has 64 Bit Version). The 32 Bit Version worked
    without problems. The next day both versions didn't work because of
    this Informatiom. Bridge and Camera raw workinjg perfect but photoshop
    (CS 5) is blocked.
