Can`t open new window in my browser...

I go to my Google Icon in the top toolbar, right click on it to get the drop down menu, then click on Open in New Window and nothing happens...and it really weird because now...just at this moment the Google Icon disappeared. Is there any way I can go back to an older version of Firefox or something because I never had any problems before. On top^of that I can;t find the some addons that I installed, and in fact when I click on Addons under Tools nothing happens either...Please advise!!!!!!

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.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
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 open new windows if clicking on a link!

    For some reason I can't open new windows if I clic on a link. It's alright if it opens in a new tab, but if it opens in a new window, the window that opens is just blank. I have no idea why it's doing so, it started a couple of weeks ago, and it's very annoying. I guess it has something to do with securityoptions, but I haven't been able to sort it out. Would be very glad if anyone should have an answear to this!

    Try These Possible Solutions:
    1. Restart Firefox and your computer.
    2. Use the keyboard shortcut CTRL+T to open a new tab.
    3. Run firefox in safemode (no add-ons) Go to start>all programs>Mozilla Firefox

  • I can't open new windows and add-ons aren't working.

    I recently scrubbed my hard drive due to virus issues in order to contain the virus before it spread. After installing Firefox I noticed that I was unable to open new windows, links that normally opened a new window for Firefox weren't working, and I can't access plug-ins like AdBlock Plus which I used frequently before. I've never had this problem before. I turned off all security settings and unplugged from the internet to see if that was the problem, but that didn't work. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, same deal.

  • Finder won't stay selected if other programs open and can't open new window

    I have just noticed a new problem. If other programs are open, Finder won't stay selected program. If I alt tab to it or click on it in dock, it shows on menu bar for a half second and goes away. If I right click on icon in dock and select open new window, it will not do so. If I select a folder from the desktop, it opens in Finder with no problem and I can move within the Finder at will.
    I have updated all software. I am running the current Macbook Pro 15in. No other problems noted so far.
    Any ideas? Thanks in advance

    Hi Sleddaddyfro, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Do you have another account you can log into?
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for action in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport in 10.4 & below, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Stuffit AVR has been a big one, if you have that use the Pref Pane to turn it off, but others have been implicated too. Check System Preferences for a Stuffit Pref Pane and disable AVR.

  • HTML window in AIR app can't open new window

    Hi, By allowing HTML content to be displayed inside our AIR app it's possible for our partner organization to write their own custom features hosted on HTML pages at their site, but for their content to appear integrated seamlessly within our AIR app's container so that it looks like it belongs there...
    We've successfully got an HTML window within our AIR app that navigates to content in a sub-folder on a web-hosted domain. Content displays correctly and hyperlinks function within the HTML window as we'd expect apart from three scenarios that appear to be manifestations of the same problem:
    A hyperlink on a page shown in-app with a link to a PDF stored on the web server has no action
    A hyperlink on a page shown in-app with a link to a video file stored on the web server has no action
    A hyperlink on a page shown in-app with a link to another site (target="_blank" parameter) has no action
    All three hyperlink scenarios work as we'd wish if we navigate to the page in a standard browser.
    How can we code the HTML so that we can display selected content in an HTML window inside the AIR app; but have selected hyperlinks invoke the user's standard web browser, or launch Adobe Reader, or play a video file etc?
    Note, we understand how to do those things within AIR itself, but can't figure out how to achieve this from inside the HTML window in the app.

    Hello,
    As to "_blank" links:
    this is long-standing lacking feature - as there is no introspection of event of such type - so it goes and could not be prevented. One could either handle all navigation with system browser (all links open in system external browser) or handle them in embedded browser - similar issue is bugging people using phoneGab with jQueryMobile - application eats all external links or none at all). There are solution for that including runtime introspection of DOM object to retrieve all anchor (a) tags in rendered document and attach custom click handler via host object like on complete:
    var document:Object = html.htmlLoader.window.document;
    if(!document && !document.hasOwnProperty("getElementsByTagName")) return;
    var linksArray:Object = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
    if(!linksArray) return;
    var a:Object = null;
    for(var i:Number = 0; i < linksArray.length; i++)
         a = linksArray[i];
         if(a)
              a.onclick = function(event:Object):Boolean
                   if(event.target.hasOwnProperty("href") && event.target.hasOwnProperty("target"))
                        if(event.target.target != "_blank") return true;
                        flash.net.navigateToURL(new URLRequest(event.target.href));
                   return false;
    but if you have control on what content is provided you could take care of handling links depending on runtime feature detection that way in javascript:
    <script type="text/javascript">
         function handleClick(a)
              if(!window.runtime) return true;
              if(a.hasAttribute("target") && a.getAttribute("target") == "_blank")
                   var href = a.getAttribute("href");
                   var req = new window.runtime.flash.net.URLRequest(href);
                   if(req) window.runtime.flash.net.navigateToURL(req);
              return false;
    </script>
    <a     href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/" target="_blank" onclick="handleClick(this);">BBC</a>
    <br />
    <a href="http://www.google.com/" onclick="handleClick(this);">Google</a>
    (above could be scripted globally with help of jQuery for example for all links without much coding).
    In 2.7 there is new event introduced to help with introspection so one could prevent event if link is internal and do whatever is expected in application:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/filesystem/File.h tml
    If you post some details on how PDF and video content is expected to be shown in html I'm sure someone would share some hints as well,
    regards,

  • It says I can't open new window cause I have reached max allowed. How do I fix this?

    When I try to open a new window, I have a message pop up that says it could not open a new window cause I have already opened the maximim number. Don't understand how this is possible when I am sure I close out each one when I am done with it. How can you fix this?

    Yes that is a limit of web some web browsers, they need to close any open browsers windows but without know which browser they have exact instruction is hard,,, mustangman5058 can you supply more information.. Like Cody asked is this a web browser you are speaking of and if so which browser are you using?
    Opera Mobile or Dolphin HD allows the most windows to be opened at the same timefor me.

  • How can I open new window from a link in another window?

    Hello everyone!
    Can anyone help me with my problem. I need to open a child window from a link in the mother/master window. Actually, the link that would open the child window is directed to a servlet that retrieves data from the database. The data will then be displayed in the child window. I don't how to open a new window with the data retrieve (thru the servlet) displayed in it. I'm using model 2 architecture (Servlet-JSP).
    Thank you in advance and more power!

    Or you can use something like this,
    Click and in your test()
    <script language="javascript">function test()
          document.form_name.target="_blank";
          document.form_name.action="/test/servlet/LoginServlet";
          document.form_name.method="post"
          document.form_name.submit();
    }</script>
    Here "/test" is your application context path.
    If you want to open the link in the named window then use,
    document.form_name.target="your_own_name";

  • Can't open new window

    When I hit command N for a new window I don't get one. And no, it doesn't open a new tab either. I'm using OS 10.7.2 on an imac and I'm using firefox 8.0.1 In preferences, I've got it set NOT to open a new window in a tab instead. I just can't get a new window. Period.

    I have never heard of this happening before, and if the other apps are responding when you tap on that portion of the screen, it would seem that the problem is not with the screen itself - or the iPad itself.
    Start with something basic. Quit Safari completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    And try this as well. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Can't open new windows in Safari 5.1.2 for Snow Leopard

    I have downloaded the 10.6.8 combo update and of course installed the new version of Safari.  Now I cannot open a new window (whether it is a link or if I do apple-n on the keyboard).  I must be missing something here that must be very simple to fix this, but I have tried everything.  I might have to find an old link to a 5.1.1 site and download that version again (it was working fine before I downloaded the new version)
    Any help would be appreciated!  THANKS!

    Try emptying the cache and resetting Safari.
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache. Try a new window.
    If that didn't help, back to the menu bar, click Safari > Reset Safari. Select the top 5 boxes, click Reset. Try again.
    If that didn't help, go to ~ / Library / Caches / com.apple.Safari / Cache.db
    Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash and restart your Mac.
    Try again.

  • Can't open new windows in safari

    I have been using safari for years. I upgraded to the safari 3.0 Beta some weeks ago and had no problems everything ran fine. I have done nothing irregular and today I fired up my computer - opened safari and found that no window would automatically open. I tried to open a new window - nothing.
    I tried opening a new tab which opened a window but no toolbar and a tab twice the width. then went to view to view toolbars which then loaded up but any address or google search is not recocognised.
    I have gone thru everything including deleting all safari files, uninstalling beta and full reinstall no luck, no change.
    Has anyone got any suggestions or seen this problem before.

    Is there a way to revert to Safari 2.0?
    Yes, as AussyWesty says, the Safari beta installer includes an uninstaller. Run that, and you will be reverted to Safari 2. Whatever you do, do not throw away or move the Safari 3 beta application. The uninstaller has to see that application in place in order to do its work.

  • TextEdit can't open new window

    Here are the errors in Console I get when I try to open TextEdit and when I click New Document. I am running 10.8.4 and it is a fresh install plus I've added a few apps since installation.

    Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not  going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
