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 <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.

Try to create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • Can't move tabs anymore and can't add tabs to or change homepage in new version 4

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> 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.

    In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

  • Can't delete tabs from Firefox on my iPhone

    How can I delete tabs from Firefox on my iPhone? I'm using Firefox Sync and the number of tabs keep getting bigger. I'm up to 48.
    PS: I've tried the iPhone forum but no one replies. It's looking like there is no support for Sync??????

    Good morning,
    Sorry, ContactsTap does not solve the problem. It doesn't know about the "All on my iPhone" Group. Inside the app the contacts show as uncategorized.
    The problem is that if a contact is saved as "All on my iPhone" how can I move it to another of the native iPhone groups so that it syncs with the other group source.
    It is possible to link the contact with other contacts on other groups but I cannot move it to another group. It seems you have to retype the contacts.
    Someone forgot to include this feature. May be next iOs update?
    Best regards

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Can I move an ongoing imovie project from my mac to another mac?

    I would like to move my ongoing imovie project from one mac to another and then continue working with the project. Is this possible? If it is, how do I do?
    /Caro

    You will need an external hard drive that is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    Then you will move the Project to the external hard drive from within iMovie.
    See here for instructions. http://help.apple.com/imovie/#move7d66613
    Then you will use the File/Consoldate Media command to move everything else.
    See here for instructions. http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3ac6c7c9
    You can edit on the new Mac from the external drive, but if you prefer, you can move everything to the new Mac by using the same instructions above.

  • I can see open tabs from my PC on my Mac, but I can't see open tabs from my Mac on my PC. Why?

    I've set up Sync on my work PC and my home MacBook.
    I can see open tabs from my PC while I'm on my Mac, but I can't see open tabs from my Mac while I'm on my PC. Why?

    Here is what I am seeing on my Android device - at the top, a few options like History > Top Sites> Bookmarks>Reading List. Then, the search/address bar, then to the right of that, a square with the number "1" inside it, then 3 dots that, when chosen, give you the following options:
    New Tab
    New Private Tab
    Request Desktop Site
    Tools
    Settings
    Any thoughts on how I specifically sync my Desktop open tabs to my Android device so I can then see all my desktop open tabs on my phone?
    Thanks!

  • HT1364 can you move an itunes library from pc to mac?

    Hi everyone,
    The days of my laptop are nearing the end and I'm strongly leaning towards purchasing a macbook. Can you transfer your media library from pc to mac?
    Can you export a copy your library onto an external drive as I don't know how much longer this laptop will last?
    Thanks for the help

    Sorry, I obviously wasn't clear. If you replicate the library from Computer 1 to Computer 2 by copying it, then all will be well. I routinely sync my iPhone and iPad both at home and at work using a single library that I migrate between the two locations via an external drive which is kept up do date using SyncToy.
    Backup the iPod touch on Computer 1.
    Copy the entire iTunes folder from Computer 1 to Computer 2, replacing any existing iTunes folder on Computer 2.
    Check that content is accessible in the migrated library. (Won't be a problem for a standard iTunes library where all the content is inside the iTunes Media folder which in turn is inside your iTunes folder).
    Connect iPod touch to Computer 2.
    Sync.
    In the unlikely event that something goes wrong (it won't) then you can connect the device back to Computer 1 to restore it.
    Note device backups are not stored within the iTunes library and stay on the machine on which they were created. It is theorectically possible to migrate them but there isn't really any point. Once you have synced the iPod with the copy of the library on Computer 2 then Computer 2 will make its own backup of the device.

  • 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 in firefox.

    When I use firefox 4.0 and now 5.0, I can't switch between tabs. I can only use one tab per window and when I open a new tab the topmost tab is the only one I see.

    That is [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=595530 Bug 595530] – Searching bookmarks and history is much slower after SQLite 3.7.x upgrade

  • Can opening multiple tabs in Firefox slow down my computer (desktop)?

    No further details.

    That is possible if there are a lot of tabs open with active content (plugins or scripts) that need to be updated. It shouldn't make a difference for websites that only have text on current computers. But be cautious with websites that have a lot of Flash content.

  • Can I move my library and ipod from a mac to pc?

    Okay, I'm real slow when it comes to computers. I have an ipod and a personal library of about 200 cds, so I don't want to have to reload them. Currently my itunes resides on my husband's mac so my ipod is formatted for mac. I'd like to move everything to my new pc. Can this be done, and how can this be accomplished.
    TIA

    There are few ways to do it in order to work for your case.
    1. Since your library is currently on a Mac computer, you can know format your iPod with a window pc, which will erase your iPod completely. Just connect your iPod with a computer and do a Restore.
    2. After 1, then connect you iPod with your Mac and do a sync -> copy the music files back to your PC
    3. Follow the instructions mentioned on the link above

  • Can you move a software raid 1 from one mac to another

    I have a 2 disc software raid 1 on my powermac and I want to move it to my mac pro. Does anyone know if I can do this?

    It appears that in Mac OS X 10.4, and again in the transition to 10.7, RAID format may have undergone dramatic changes. If you are trying to move a RAID array across those boundaries, you may not have the best results moving the drives directly.

  • How can I move the aperture program from my old Mac to my new Macbook Pro?

    I have Aperture 3.2 on my old Mac laptop and would like to know how to move it over to my new macbook pro retina laptop.  I tried to just move it from my external hard drive, but that didn't work. Can I use the migration assistant to transfer this and only this program to my new laptop? 
    Thanks,
    Shirley

    Apple Pro Apps like Aperture really do best if installed from the original media that hey were bought on. Trying to migrate Aperture can lead to a lot of frustrating problems.
    The libraries can be copied over just as you would any file but the application itself needs to be installed.
    How did you purchase Aperture? If you got it in the Mac App Store then all you need to do is log into the MAS from the new computer using the same Apple ID you used to buy Aperture and download it.
    If you bought it on DVD you will need to install from those and then run software update to get to the latest version. Remember if you bought it on DVD you will need the original serial number that was included in the package. Also if this was and upgrade from an earlier version (1 or 2)  you will need those serial numbers also.
