Can't move tab to new window (tabs are locked) or open new window

Hello All,
I have updated Firefox to 28.0 and I am still having the issue with not being able to move tabs to individual windows, open individual windows or click on a web link to open a new window. If I right click on the link it will open in the window as a new tab but will not open as an new window. Can someone tell me if there is a lock on tabs/windows that freezes them? Please help.

Thank you for the input - unfortunately this did not change anything. I removed all extensions and even reloaded Firefox after cleaning out all the hidden files and I still experience the same. I can hit the [+] and get a new page but I cannot open a link in an email unless I right click and open to a new tab - although it will not allow you to open to a new window. you cannot grab a window that is open and pull it so that it is it's own separate window. I have tried this using a different application and it does work without any issue. I do not want to use this application because I like using Firefox -- any suggestions would be appreciated. Just do not know what to do to fix this.

How can i move to a new page in smartform?

hi friends
i hav a smartform with two pages.
the fist page contains the Main window and 3 Secondary windows.
in the 1st page i'm displaying some line items and in the main window i gave the command to
go to Page 2.
the 2nd page contains only one Secondary Window.
in that i want to display a table with many line items.
if it contains only 20 line items its works fine; becoz of the window size.
how can i move to a new page if it contains more line items?

Hi,
You need to create main Window on second page also.
And in Form Attributes..there is an option for Next page.
So there you mention the next page name.
This will solve the problem.
Thanks.

I'm running Safari 6.0.5 - Mac OS 10.8.4 -- when I load my gmail the block around the DELETE and MOVE tabs are not usable - press buttons but nothing happens. ???

I'm running Safari 6.0.5 - Mac OS 10.8.4 -- when I load my gmail the block around the DELETE and MOVE tabs are not usable - press buttons but nothing happens. ???
I can see the block (flashes) and the buttons are no longer usable.
I have Empted Cache but doesn't seem to help.

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.

I would like to connect my Apple TV 3rd gen to a projector and not an HD TV (so I can watch movies on the big screen). Are there any decent price compatible projectors? Good quality but not professional! Many thanks

Thank you for the answer, I suppose the main thrust of my enquiry is to find out if 65 MBits is my ATV theoretical limit of reception. If that is the case then I am happy as a Pig in Mud
I may have allowed myself to become a victim by listening to Fanbois posting elsewhere who always seem to go one better than everyone else. Now I have learnt two things Today; 65Mbit/s = Good enough and only read the apple forums.
Many Thanks

Can't move tabs in Firefox 17.0.1 Mac OS 10.6.8

Whenever I click on a tab and drag it to either the left or right in its original window or attempt to drag it so it's own its own browser window, I get the cursor along with the thumbnail of the tab I'm moving, but I can't drop it anywhere. The only way I can get back to functioning is to force-quit Firefox.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] 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).

Can't move tabs in FF 22.0 or emails in TB 17.07.

For reasons I can not determine I am no longer able to drag and drop tabs in firefox or drag emails from my inbox to another folder in Thunderbird. I have restarted both, I have tried safemode with no success. This behavior started about 5 days ago (around July 18th/2013). I have gone through the support sites and forums and have not been able to find a solution that works. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Since installing Firefox 8 beta, can't move tabs around within the tab bar; can this be fixed without reverting to earlier version? Thank you.

Before moving to Firefox 8, I could drag and drop tabs within the tab bar to reorder them, which was very convenient. Since installing the first beta of Firefox 8, the tabs don't move. Should I revert to an earlier version of Firefox? If so, which one? Thank you for any help with may favorite browser. Tom

Tor Button addon was the cause in my case.

I can't switch tabs; clicking on other open tabs or using Ctrl-Tab does nothing.

After upgrading to FF4, sometimes (I haven't been able to identify a pattern yet) I can no longer move between tabs. I can still open new tabs, and can move between those without any problems, but am locked out of any tab that was opened before this issue began. These tabs will still auto-refresh, but clicking on them doesn't switch to them, and Ctrl-Tab just switches between the tabs that were opened after the freeze began. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks....
(Using Windows XP, FYI)

That's what I was experiencing. I had to disable all add-ons (via the safe mode method above) and add them back in one by one. After adding each one back in, I tried to recreate the conditions that seemed to be causing the problem in the first place, which, for me, was customizing the toolbar. Eventually found the add-on that locked up the tabs. Hope this works for you, too.

Can't move iTunes to new hard drive.

I have installed a new C:\ Hard drive and I am trying to move itunes from my old hard drive to the new.
I have followed the tutorial telling me to just install iTunes on the new hard drive and then move the new itunes folder to the desktop and drag and drop my old itunes folder from the old hard drive (which is still connected) to the new iTunes music folder. But when I open iTunes nothing is there! The folder is there in the Music directory and I can see that the folder size is exactly like the real one and clicking on it in Explorer shows all my files, but again, when I start iTunes nothing show up!
Plz HELP!

Close iTunes.
Copy the entire iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.
Hold Shift and launch iTunes. A window will open giving you the option to choose a current library or create a new one.
Point iTunes to the correct library file.
Going forward, simply launch iTunes as normal.

Can't move files in finder windows (!)

When I drag a file, such as an image, from a folder to the desktop, (or to another folder) it creates an alias instead. I can no longer move any files on my computer, after installing Lion. What the ?!
(This behavior is the same whether I use my Apple mouse, Wacom tablet, or the Wacom mouse, so it's not a hardware problem.)
Any clues? I need to solve this NOW.
Thank you.

Here's the answer, discovered by spending a few hours on the phone with a very good Apple support person...
Part of Lion's new protection scheme is to prevent new users from accidentally deleting things that they shouldn't. That makes sense, and is no bigee on it's own. But, one "detail" not mentioned can be a "gotcha" if you're not aware of it. Here's my example:
Within my Applications folder, I have a folder called "Graphics", into which I place things like my 3D software, Photoshop, etc.. Within each of those folders, I've nested other folders, containing project files. That's a problem with Lion, because when you try to drag one of these files to the desktop, it will create an alias, rather than moving the actual file. The answer is "Don't store files (nested or not) within the Applications folder". (Move them to the Documents folder, or another custom folder you create.
It's very simple, but may take you a while to move these files, if you work like I do. First, COPY the files to a new folder. Then, delete the old ones in your Applications folder.

Double Click on Tabe area does not open new tab any moee, why?

I just updated (bad word because it is a serious DOWN grade) to 29.0. What a terrible mistake. If I wanted to use Chrome I would use Chrome. This version of FF is total shit.
1) How do I get rid of that horrid big orange FF button?
2) How do I re-enable double click on tab bar to open a new tab?
3) How do I fix the navigation buttons (forward is ½ hidden under back)?
4) How do I restore the colors (theme?) to my previous settings?
5) Why is FF trying to be chrome anyway?

To clarify, the list of previously or later visited pages does still show up when I right click on the navigation arrows in the Developer Version, but I cannot open any of the links in the list in a new tab with the mouse wheel or "Ctrl + Left Mouse Click".

Illustrator - Can't move guides when 2 windows open on same document

This is a bug report - Adobe, file this thread appropriately.
Tested with Adobe AI CC 2014:
Open a document, create a guide.
Open a second window on that same document. (1 document, 2 views of the same document)
make the second view smaller, optionally, Hide Edges on that view.
Return to the first window. Ctrl+Alt+; (unlock guides)
Choose the selection tool and click the guide: nothing happens (THIS IS A BUG)
Drag a marquee around the guide: guide is selected (OK)
Nudge the guide: the guide moves (OK)
Attempt to move the guide by clicking and dragging: not possible (BUG)
Close the second window
Repeat steps 5 - 9: Everything works as expected.
Tested on Windows 7.
Please fix in an update!
Thank you,
Tom

Tom,
I remember that it was almost impossible to find, so I have archived the URL.
Edit: I just tried to click Search and then type bug report on adobe.com, and it turned up this,
Adobe - Search: bug%20report
so it is possible if you know how to do it already.
