Firefox 4 - Opening in a new window puts a second windows frame around the firefox browser window

Using Firefox 4 in Windows 7
I have customised the position of tabs (Tabs on top) and which toolbar items I would like to see.
The first window I open of firefox 4 always has the configuration as I set it.
Whenever I open a new window of firefox either:
# - Right-click a link to open in a new window
# - Click a link anywhere (such as an email) to open a new window
# - When a website opens a page in a new window
Bad Results:
# - The new window does not have the configuration as set in the main window (Tabs on top)
# - The new window has a windows type window frame around the firefox window (see two sets of window controls eg. "minimise", "restore" and "close")
# - The open page does not show the url - navigating to a new page within this window will not update the url :: strangely enough clicking the url page icon will update the url as it should be
# - Sometimes when restarting firefox, it will open the first main window with the remembered tabs and then open approx 8 or so blank new windows as described above

I have troubleshooted this issue and have found what I think is a resolution.
The cause of this issue seems to be Profiles.
Previously when running firefox 3 I had multiple profiles setup. when deciding to update to firefox 4 I removed these old profiles.
When installing firefox 4 for some reason it used a "default" named profile, and this caused the problems I described above.
RESOLUTION:
Ran firefox.exe -ProfileManager
created a new profile, it named itself "Default User" I then selected the new default and tested. The window behavior is now acting as it should wothout the above problems.
I deleted the old profile and now it works, using the new profile.

Had the Yahoo toolbar, which the current version of Firefox has deleted. Instead I put my Yahoo toolbar links on the Firefox bookmark toolbar. Rest of question in details.

Instead of just having the icons and being able to hover over them to see what they are (in case I forgot) the Firefox toolbar shows the icon and the name- which takes up a lot of room on the tool bar and not all my icons show. Can I change this? It's annoying not to see all the icons as in the Yahoo toolbar I want to see either the icons of my shortcuts only - or I want to shorten up the tab size of the shortcuts so I can show more of them without shortening up the tabs at the top of the page.

Try this extension.

Hai i am using firefox 3.6.When right clicking on a link and a window opens up, i want it to ask me "Open Link in New tab" first, not second.

First, you are using a version of Firefox that is very old and outdated. Please update to at least Firefox 3.6.27, or more preferably, update to Firefox 10.0.2. There are lots of bug fixes, security improvements, and much improved performance in Firefox 10.
After you do that, try seeing if you are still having a problem. If you are, is this that when you try to select "Open in a new tab" it opens in a new window instead? Or something else?

My tabs are seperated into groups. Once I accidentaly opened a site in a new window (not a new tab). After that, I accidentaly closed the Firefox window with all my grouped tabs. Now, I can't recover it. Are there any solutions?

I have my tabs seperated into several groups (for example, bank tabs, music tabs, social life tabs and so on). I do this with the help of the button in the top left corner. While I was surfing the internet, I accidentaly opened a site not in a new tab (as I usually do), but in a new window. The new window was without all the grouped tabs, which I had in the previous Firefox window. And then I accidentaly closed the Firefox window with all my grouped tabs. Now I can't recover it. Are there any solutions?

How to make Firefox open automatically a new, empty tab in each start, but keep last sessions?

How to make Firefox open automatically a new, empty tab in each start? (keep last sessions as well) It will be good, because Firefox wont load the previous sessions last watched tab after start straight away, but keep my previous sessions tab as well in the browser.

Hello,
You can change your home page settings to open a blank tab:
* Tools (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]]) > Options > General
* Beside "Startup", change to "Show a blank tab"
* See the article [[Startup, home page and download settings]] for more information
To retrieve your previous browsing session, first make sure that you are not running in [[Private Browsing - Browse the web without saving information about the sites you visit|Private Browsing mode]]. When you start Firefox, to recover your previous session, you can go to:
* History (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]] > History) > Restore Previous Session
* Please see [[Restore previous session - Configure when Firefox shows your most recent tabs and windows]] for more information

When pressing Ctrl+f to find something in a page the Find box remains open until I close it, in ALL tabs I have in the firefox window. How can I make firefox open the Find box ONLY in the tab I am in?

Firefox 4 and later versions save the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session. 
Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox") if you want to restore multiple windows. 
You can use "History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time. 
You may need to click the orange/gray Firefox button to see History. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page.
Another possibility is to use:
* [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences Firefox/Tools > Options] > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in Safe Mode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

The only way I can open a new tab is by right-clicking a bookmarked site and selecting "Open in a New Tab." I can't click on the New Tab + or CTR+T or open via File. WHY?!?

The only way I can open a new tab in Firefox is by right-clicking a bookmarked site and selecting "Open in a New Tab." I can't click on the New Tab + or CTR+T or open via File. WHY don't the other means work?

The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

Opening hyperlinks in the same browser window

Hey Gang!
How does one create a hyperlink such that it opens in the
same browser window and doesn't keep opening a new window each
time?
Cheers!
Gregory

Do you meant that you want to "open the hyperlinks of your flash file in the same browser window"
You flash file will be put on the internet and I think you have to configure your brower to achieve this goal.
We all know that IE can be configured to open the hyperlinks in the same window.
Thus if you want your flash file achieve this feature you need to write a code to control your brower.
This code can be a simple JS code. You can just google this to find out the answer.
good luck
I love using flash quiz generator

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).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Firefox has apparently downloaded an update which asks me if i want to install every time I open it, but every time i click yes it fails saying I have another firefox open but I don't!! no attempts to install the update have worked, i've tried a few. What can be done or how can I ensure all firefox's are shut??

You can try "Reset Download Actions": http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions
You can also try "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the [[Safe mode]] start window.

I had completed my iDVD project and burned a disc. It worked great! Then someone messed with the project and put a red frame around the opening screen. Now when I burn the project, it no longer has the opening frame. How can I fix?

I had completed my iDVD project, a Wedding Slideshow with pictures and music, and burned it on a disc. It worked great! Then someone messed with the original project on my computer and clicked around and put a red frame around the opening screen that has the Wedding theme with music. Now when I burn the project to make more DVDs, it burns but no longer has the opening frame. It immediately opens to the iMovie slideshow. How can I fix so I can burn the entire project with opening frames?

As Bengt suggested make a disk image of the successfully burned DVD using Disk Utility. Then you can burn copies any time you need one.
In the future once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
You can then burn it to disk with Disk Utility at the slowest speed available to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

New Windows Setup Can Be Synced To Only the Last Used Windows Installation?

Hello,
I have found out that Windows allows you to synchronize only with the last used Windows installation and does not allow you to choose to which of your Windows installations you want to synchronize. Why is that?
Here's my experience.
1. I installed Windows 10 TP for Enterprise and while in the Setup wizard chose to synchronize with the Windows installation that was last used to log in with the Microsoft account I specified during the setup of Windows 10 TP for Enterprise.
I had my appearance, Windows configuration settings and browser favorites successfully synchronized with the my laptop running Windows 8.1
2. Then I installed another copy of Windows 10 TP for Enterprise. At that time the first setup of Windows 10 TP for Enterprise was the last Windows installation to use my Microsoft account.
When I was asked to what Windows PC I would like to synchronize I had no option to choose other than the last used Windows 10 TP for Enterprise that I had just deployed.
It would've been great if I could select from any of the PCs that I used to log in with my Microsoft account, like you could do in Internet Explorer that allows you to show recent visited websites for all of you registered PCs.
Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

Yes, it downloaded all the emails and folders. I did some checking on the Gmail website and found a setting there for POP3: Download ALL, Download from this point forward, Disable POP. It defaults to download all. I changed it to Download from this point forward. That took care of the issue. Three steps are required for Gmail:
1) Download TB and set the account to use POP instead of IMAP.
2) Log on to your Gmail web account and go to Settings, Forwarding and POP/IMAP.
3) Select Enable POP for mail that arrives from now on.
After doing these steps, start Thunderbird and it should only receive new email messages.
I will mark the issue solved, but wanting to provide you what I learned to help others in the future. Thank You , Greg Nackers

Firefox opens up, but, this morning, I can't access any links via Firefox. I can via Explorer. I prefer Firefox. Help!

Firefox opens up, but, this morning, I can't access any links via Firefox. I can via Explorer.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
