Dragging a tab out of its place does not open it in a new window always. Behavior is erratic.

Dragging a tab out of its place is and dropping it (say) in the middle of the screen is supposed to open the tab in a new Firefox window.
But this behavior is often erratic and sometimes it simply does nothing, which is frustrating.
Is there a bug already filed for this issue?

Did this setting in about:config get changed recently?
* browser.cache.check_doc_frequency
These are the possible settings:
* 0: Check once per browser session
* 1: Check every time I view the page
* 2: Never check (always use cached page)
* 3 (default): Check when the page is out of date (automatically determined)

Firefox does not open links with a new window or tab for certain web sites, e.g. Santander On line banking, help links.

When accessing some sites where they have links for additional information that would normally open a new window or tab, Firefox does not open either. This happens on a variety of sites, most recently the Santander on-line banking site.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://

Such JavaScript links should show the image in the same tab, so make sure that you left click such links.

ITunes 10.4.1 does not open (Win XP, 32 bit) crashes always when trying to start

iTunes 10.4.1 does not open (Win XP, 32 bit) crashes always when trying to start Itunes.
Tryed to repair, new installation, nothing worked.
Can anybody help me, any idea?
Thank you, mrlavazza

Sorry for this late answer. I had not to time hanging around on the pc. Thank you for your help.
I solved the problem, lucky!
After deinstalling all Apple Software (except safari) I started the PC again and installed Itunes another time.
It worked, so I am happy, still not knowing what was the problem.
The best thing is, that my mediathek is still running (I hoped so, it was put on another harddrive.)
Updates should not stress that way...
Thanks again for supporting,

I use "firefox -new-tab anyPage.html" but it does not open it in new tab. Instead it replaces the last active tab.

Well I use following command to view offline pages using firefox on my linux box
$ firefox -new-tab anyPage.html
But instead of opening it in new tab, it replaces the last active tab.
I have tired
$ firefox -new-tab anyPage.html &
$ firefox -remote "openurl(anyPage.html,NEW_TAB)"
But none works.
Sometimes it do open in new tab but mostly it does not. I have been unable to figure out any pattern.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

(''Note: cross posted from [https://support.mozilla.com/nl/questions/801471 here].'')
I had the same problem, but was able to fix it somewhat.
# Open the about:config page.
# Set the ''browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction'' setting to 0 (= zero).
On my machine this will open new windows in a new tab. However, it switches to the new tab regardless of the setting ''"When I open a link in new tab, switch to it immediatly"''.

AIR app does not open anymore after minimizing on windows

Hi guys,
I need some help in figuring out a strange issue I am facing.
I have an AIR app whih is minimizable. When I run it on windows XP and minimize it, it gets minimized. But
clicking on the task bar does not open the app anymore. The task manager shows that the CPU usage for the app has gone upto 50%
and it consistently stays over there with out recovering from it.
Right clicking on it and then trying it to close shows me the windows dialog: "the program is not responding".
MInimizing and re-opening works fine on MAC.
Anyone has ideas on what might be happening? Suggestions or pointers on how to debug this?
thanks,
Sunil

It turns out that in one of my UI components, the top level item was a VBox which was using a list of HBox components and the height of each HBox component was set to VBox height /5.
I modified the height to be set to "100%" for each HBox.
and everything worked fine.
I really do not know how it can cause the application to hang earlier.
thanks,
Sunil

Since the latest update of Firefox was installed on my Windows Vista Home Premium system it appears to be crashing and sometimes plays up by not opening requested sites in new windows, tabs etc. Should I uninstall and reload Firefox??

Also when closing tabs and windows the screen appears to momentarily go a blue color. This same blue color can also be seen when Firefox appears to crash or stall. If you try to open a new tab or a new window there appears to be some hesitation before the new window opens and sometimes the new window or tab simply refuses to open-you then have to shut down Firefox and restart to improve this.

Thanks Alan I tried disabling several items so far and the situation has improved but still not as stable as I would like. Systematic approach is the key here so I'll continue with a process of elimination.

Premiere Elements 3 does not open projects (existing or new)

Last few days I tried a number of solutions suggested on your website including reinstalling Adobe but I still can not access my pro
jects. Adobe does not even open for New Projects. It tells me that a serious error has occured and that it will shut down and try to
save my project. It no longer asks me to save the project under a new name, it just shuts itself down. I have several versions of t
he same project saved at various stages. The project has video clips, a couple of photos, music, narration, titles and transitions a
nd goes for 1h10m. Another project of just photos with titles, music and transitions is only a few minutes in length but still does
not open.

Hi Steve
Good to hear from you. I have been using Premiere Elements for about 10 years and have been using version 3.0 for the past two years. This problem is new and very persistent. I have a project that is 98% complete (1h10m long movie) and Elements was working fine. Then one day when I opened Elements I got an error message saying "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Elements to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project." Since then every time I open Elements I get that message but it no longer offers to save it under a new name, just shuts down the program once I click OK. The screen where it lets me choose which project to open appears without any problems, but then when I open the project the error message appears about 10 seconds after the project has finished opening. I have tried opening different projects, and even tried starting a brand new project, but the message appears every time. I tried deleting the prefs file in Application Data as suggested in some forums but that didn't help. I have re-installed Elements several time but the problem still occurs.
My operating system is Windows XP with Service Pack 3. I have 4GB of RAM and two 300GB hard drives, both less than one quarter full. Quicktime and the Realtek drivers are up to date. I recently installed XP Service Pack 3 and some updates for Microsoft Office 2003, but Elements worked fine for several days after this before the problem began occurring. I have also recently had a problem with my computer refusing to shut down however it's shutting down normally now, not sure if that's anything to do with the Elements problem. Virus and spyware scans using Norton and Ad-Aware are all clear.
Hope you are able to help. Thanks, Iwona.

Fillable Form posted to website will not open web links in new window-wipes out data

Using Adobe Pro X, have a link to open a web link, but this is posted to our website and when a user clicks on the link, it does not open in a new window, so when they go back to the form, all the typed data is gone. I do not see an option for the link to open in a new window. Help!
Thanks

Ajlan,
I tested it with Firefox, which does not support filling in of forms and makes you open it with adobe reader, which it fine once you get to that point since you are no longer on the web. I have Adobe Reader XI. I am not aware of any clipboard policy.
I have actually found a fix that requires a java script that solves the issue.
Under link properties/Actions/Run a JavaScript-input the below.
app.launchURL("https://infoshare.jccc.edu/communities/toolbox/Desk%20Reference%20Manual%20Documents/per-d iem-and-mileage.pdf", true);
To truly fix this issue, I believe there needs to be an option of "in a new window" when you choose "Open a Web Link".
There are hundreds of individuals using this form and there is no way to know which browser they are using or which version of reader they have.
Thank you for your time.

How does one open something in a new window rather than a new tab, when browsing?

I much prefer how this used to be before I upgraded to the latest iOS, in this sense.
I do not like dealing with multiple tabs; there are times that a new window is just needed.
I am assuming that it is possible to open new windows and I just haven't figured it out yet.
Thanks for any and all help!

Thank you for your comments.
Truthfully, I am shocked that this is the case and even more so that people didn't put up such a stink that Apple had to reinstate the old option. If I had to pick only one, which doesn't seem reasonable at all, I would choose the separate windows of old as opposed to the tabs.
Thanks again for your help; I was really hoping that I wouldn't be disappointed.

Page data does not load with goButton? (new window of identical page)

Hi guys. I ran into a problem. Essentially, I need to print a .jsff page but before I do, I have to alter its format a little bit. The solution I decided to use was to create a new .jspx page containing almost the exact same content. I even copied the data bindings and everything. Finally, I created a goButton on my original page like so:
<af:goButton text="Print as BOSSMON" destination="SubmitPrint.jspx?org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.agent.email=true"
                    targetFrame="_blank">
</af:goButton>This opens my page nicely in the format I want. But...there is no data on the page! It just opens a frame of the page. Can someone help me resolve this?
Otherwise, is there any other technique I could use to accomplish my goal?

Hi guys. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. I finally got a working solution, something totally different from the suggestions.
My goal was to print a .jsff page nicely. But before I could do that, I needed to modify some data on the page. I also wanted to do this in as few clicks as possible. I tried the goButton technique but the binding data would not load. I couldnt figure out why.
Nonetheless, I finally managed to make my own version (albeit, not that neat!). I accomplished this by essentially making a template which automatically opens in showprintablebehavior format. I tried to follow a bunch of online tutorials/blogs but nothing worked for me. Here are the steps I used:
1) Creating a new .jspx page.
2) Copy the entire source of the .jsff page (the one which needs to be printed) into our new template .jspx page. (do have to modify the beginning parts by adding <af:document> <af:form> etc)
3) Create a pageDef for the template page and copy the entire pageDef as well (do have to change the name of the pagedef)
4) Modify your print template to your liking.
5) Add a taskflow rule that links the original .jsff page to the new template page
6) Add a commandButton on the original .jsff page which opens this printing page in a new window (remember to use "dialog:....."). Here is mine:
<af:commandButton text="Open Printer Friendly Version" id="printer_popup" action="dialog:edit_print" useWindow="true"
                              windowEmbedStyle="window" inlineStyle="display:block;"
                              windowHeight="100" windowWidth="100">
</af:commandButton>7) Now, in the printing template page, add a command button which simply has the showprintablebehaviour tag within it as well as a client listener to invoke some javascript. Here is what I used:
<af:commandButton text="Printer Page" id="sha_print">
    <af:clientListener method="do_loading" type="focus"/>
    <af:showPrintablePageBehavior/>
</af:commandButton>8) In the beginning of this page, you will have an <af:document> tag. Modify it so it sets focus to our print button above when the page loads. Like so:
<af:document id="d2" initialFocusId="sha_print">9) Now add a resource tag to your page which has the "do_loading" javascript method.
<f:facet name="metaContainer">
    <af:resource type="javascript">
          function do_loading(event) {
              var target = document.getElementById('sha_print');
              target.click();
              top.close();
              //alert("got focus sir!");
    </af:resource>
</f:facet>Thats it! What this does is when you click on the command button to open the printer template, our template page opens but as it opens, it automatically sets focus to the printer button using the document tag. The printer button has a listener which activates when it receives focus (in our case, as soon as the page loads). This listener invokes the javascript method, which progamatically clicks the printer button and closes this window. What your left with is a printer friendly page of your modified page!
All the data is present there too!

Middle mouse button does not open links in a new tab.

If your only solution is to tell me to:
1.Restart my computer
2.Start Firefox in safemode
3.Use another hotkey to open a new tab that's not middle mouse button.
Then don't even bother replying. As I've done the first two and it made no difference and 3rd option is a solution at all.
This is frustrating and I'm slightly upset that after reading 20+ Pages of the same problem dating back from 2011 that there are no answers.
I am on a fresh install Windows XP (Yes I know old school) with firefox version 27.0.1.

Cor-El I have done all of those as everyone else suggested on all of the other forums.
I plugged my mouse into another computer and it worked fine. So that lets me know its either something fishy with firefox or my computer.
As I was writing this I found out what my problem was. However I'm unsure of why. I'll explain here in case anyone else has a similar problem.
If I Middle click + Hold click for a solid second on the link it will open a new tab.
It just seems like there is a massive delay in my middle mouse click speed on this system.
Either way I'll investigate this further on my own. I appreciate all of your time.

Why when I try to Build === Configuration Manager === Active solution platform === New does not open up a platform configuration window???

I have read that in order to process my .xlsx file using Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 Connection String I need to create a "x86" Active Solution Platform.
Welllll, when I <Right-Click> on my Solution in Microsoft Visual Studio, and <Click> on
Configuration Manager and then <Click> the Active solution platform
and choose <New...> absolutely nothing happens. How can I try and create a new
Active solution platform if nothing happens and I don't get a dialog box or window?
Am I doing something wrong here?
Do I have a Setting that is incorrect?
Thanks for your review and am hopeful for a reply.

Hi ITBobbyP85,
After testing the issue in my SSIS project, I also couldn’t add a new Active solution platform in the SSIS project.
As per my understanding, I think the Active solution platform doesn’t supported in Business Intelligence projects (SSAS, SSRS and SSIS). If the project is application project(C#, VB, etc.), by default, the target platform is x86. And we can also configure
the project to target to a 64-bit platform. For more details about how to configure projects to target platforms, please see:

If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
