Dragging an existing tab to the desktop (or below tab bar) does not open that URL in a new window, only a new window with an empty tab. FF4 RC2 (did it with RC1 as well).

When I drag an existing open tab from the FF4 tab bar onto my desktop, a new window opens as expected but the tab within that window does not load the URL of the tab dragged from the previous window. The tab menu item "Move to New Window" does the same thing as well.
I have disabled Tab Mix Plus add-on but it has made no difference. Is there a setting somewhere that I am missing?

I use Tab Mix Plus and do not have that problem.

You may need to try Firefox Safe Mode to see if an add-on is causing the problem; see: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_Mode
*<u>In Firefox 4, to enter Safe Mode, hold the Shift key while clicking on the Firefox 4 desktop icon.</u>
*Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes '''<u>before</u>''' starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
* If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling '''<u>one at a time</u>''' until the problem reappears. '''<u>You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change</u>''' via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.

    It's strange. The problem apparently resolved itself after I ran TechTool on it. When I clicked on Firefox last night, I had no problem opening a window. Thanks for your help. (As to your previous post, the focus was on Firefox and neither the speed keys nor the menu bar would open a window or tab of allow me to enter a URL to open a window. Strange!)

    Same thing is happening to me but I am using a card reader. Can't get any explanation besides checking the preferences. I can import by downloading to desktop then importing to iphoto but never had to do that before.

  • HT4859 I backedup iphone 4 and iphone 5 to icloud. I need contacts from the ipone 4 backup but I do not have that phone anymore and icloud will only let me restore the iphone 5's backups now. Is there anyway to get the contacts from my previous iphone 4?

    I backedup my iphone 4 to the cloud before upgrading to an iphone 5. I also backedup my iphone 5 to icloud. I can see both phone's backups side by side on the my screen on icloud. But it will not allow me to restore the iphone 4 backup to my iphone 5.  I need contacts from the iphone 4 backup but I do not have that phone anymore and icloud will only let me restore the iphone 5's backups to my iphone 5. Is there anyway to get the contacts from my previous iphone 4 backup?

    You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup.  If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup.  You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone.  However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

  • CM14 BI Publisher - modifying an existing Data Model, the Graphic View in Query Builder does not display

    I am trying to edit the default forms/reports that come with CM14, trying to edit the data model, data set, (to get to the old Infomaker style graphic view) , the Query model does not display (error the list of tables is too long..) Oracle tell me the limit is 60,  there are not 60 tables referenced in any CM report.
    Does this Query builder view work at all on any report?
    (bigger question, we are moving from CM12, should we move to CM13 which works with infomaker?)
    Thanks,
    Paul L

    Kurt, thanks for your replies.
    A couple of notes/clarifications.
    1.     You are correct that BI works better in Firefox--I have observed issues with the BI display when using IE.  I would recommend using Firefox too.
    2.     You are correct about the way to get to the Query Builder to see a graphical view of data tables.  There are basically two issues with this that I mentioned, but will re-iterate:
    a.  If you have an EXISTING query in the data set, then click the "Query Builder" button, this will remove the existing query that's there, it will NOT display the existing query in the query builder.  Query Builder works only to create a NEW query from scratch.
    b.  Query builder is limited to selecting 60 fields max in your query.  If you are creating a large report with many tables, you may find that 60 fields is not enough.  For that you will have to work in the SQL edit screen rather than using the query builder.
    I would impress on anyone developing CM14 reports that they become familiar with the database schema and relationships to avoid problems when developing your BI reports.  You should be able to find the tables and joins documentation in the knowledgebase.

  • If i click on a tab behind the one i'm on, it will not open altho it 'lights up'

    i can open new tabs, no problem, altho for some reason i am having to search for yahoo mail rather than using a bookmark, which won't load. Once i have opened a new tab, when i click on any of the tabs behind it, to the left, they will not open, altho they are 'lighting up' when i click on them.
    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often
    == no significant point

    Hello Helen.
    It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.

  • HT1331 The menu on my airport utility does not match  that which is described in  in this article

    I am trying to mount and share a  2TB USB WD drive on an airport extreme. This will be used for time machine backups and large video file storage.
    I have successfully (at least the system said it was successful) written and read the graphics files and completed a full time machine backup on the drive.
    There was a Time Machine backup on this drive, but Time machine didn't seem to want to use it, so I created another. The one I created is approximately the size of my MAC hard drive data, is called "bfmj9.sparcebundle" and is dated when the full backup completed. There is another folder in the directory called  "backups.backupdb" which comprises many files which look like dates. It was last updated before I started to the backup yesterday.
    So I called support and was given some instruction and Apple documents which seemed to have a different menu structure than what my AirPort Extreme shows. In particular, one says to:
    Manually mounting hard disks using the AirPort Disk menu bar item
    Click the AirPort Disk menu bar icon () and select the Base Station with desired USB hard drive.
    Select the desired hard disk(s) (AirPort Disk).
    Enter the username and password required to access the AirPort Disk(s).
    When I click on the menu item, I do not get the list of hard disks.
    Perhaps I have set the disk up incorrectly. The strange part is that both the new time machine backup and my other files are behaving properly.
    Thanks for any help you can give.

    Apple updated the airport utility but have not updated the documentation for some time.. really slack considering it is significantly different.
    The new utility is a poor substitute for the original and perhaps by not publishing new manuals they can hide their shame at how much functionality they removed.
    It is possible to load a real utility even into mountain lion.. I strongly recommend you do so.
    Download the real utility.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Click to open the DMG so you can see the pkg file.. do not proceed further. It cannot install onto ML.
    Download unpkg, install and run it.
    http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Drag the airport utility pkg onto unpkg.. and presto.. it will be unpacked to a new directory on your desktop.. AirPortUtility56 .. now drill down to Applications Utilities. And there is your new shiny tool.. drag it to your existing utilities folder.. or just start from there.
    Not hard and unpkg is free.
    You cannot remove 6.1 toyland version so just ignore it.. as it richly deserves. Do not attempt to run both.
    Just remember when you want the airport utility start the real one. 5.6
