Firefox 4 opens TOO many empty windows on starting the browser!

Every time I open up Firefox 4 a BUNCH of empty windows load up with my LAST 'remembered' tabs. SO I have ONE window with all my tabs intact.. and then like 13 EMPTY windows and this happens EVERY time I start up firefox. I have tried everything from using the about:config and changing that one browser tab setting to 'true'... I took out the mimeTypes.rdf from the Application Basics section I even tried UNINSTALLING and REINSTALLING firefox.. I'm SO tired of all these empty windows does ANYONE know what could cause this? I also ran a 'malware' check and I have NONE. I have honestly done EVERYTHING to try to fix this... just wondering if anyone ELSE is experiencing this and if anyone else has ANY other advice! I'm about ready to switch to Google Chrome.. I don't want to! So ANY help/advice would be appreciated! Thank you!!

Hi cor-el,
I think I've seen your answer before on OTHER questions like this one that I asked... The '''STRANGEST''' thing is.. yesterday it opened up '''PERFECTLY''' with NO problems.. then TODAY.. when I opened it.. it actually for SOME reason remembered this 'adobe' page I was on that I KNOW I closed and OTHER windows again.. and it just seems like a MESS now any time I reopen.. like... ''EACH time ''will be a SURPRISE as to what I will SEE in the tabs or extra empty windows...
BEFORE I attempt this... (I didn't WANT to when I saw you post this before) but NOW I think I MAY have NO CHOICE.. but BEFORE I try this...
Can you ''PLEASE'' tell me what you mean by... 'REDO App Tabs and Tab Groups'?? I don't understand what that means? How DO I do that?? I'm sorry I checked the link under there and I FEEL totally '''confused'''! If you have a 'short cut' way of explaining this I would LOVE to know and '''''appreciate''''' your time and help.. if not, I understand as I'm SURE it's a bit of explaining...
I just DO NOT understand why this is happening in the FIRST place? HOW did it START and what the HECK did I DO to make this happen? And why is it, that it seems like NOT too many people HAVE this issue?
Anyways, thanks for your time.. and
ANYONE ELSE''' if you have annnnnnnnnnnnnny IDEAS please let me know or if anyone has heard '''ANYTHING''' else about this '''ANNOYING''' situation!
Sincerely,
'''FRUSTRATED '''Firefox USER (Shivonne) :(

JWS opens a Applet Running Window when starting the application

I have an applet that runs perfectly fine when starting it by double clicking the desktop icon of through the Internet Explorer. My problem is that when I start the applet it opens up another window with status bar displaying "Applet Running". Is there any way to stop displying this window.

It sounds like you are launching you applet from Java Web Start application by BasicService.showDocument("http://www.mycompany.com/myapplet.jnlp");
This would of course launch a browser , which would launch another instance of Java Web Start to run the second applet.
If you have all-permissions you could:
Runtime.exec("javaws http://www.mycompany.com/myapplet.jnlp");
to launch javaws directly.
would be nice if web start allowed this with something like BasicService.launchJNLPClient("http://www.mycompany.com/myapplet.jnlp");

Firefox opens a dialog box when I use the browser, "Checking add-ons for compatibility..." then open the Firefox start page along with my homepage. I do not want the Firefox page when I open the browser. how do I stop this?

Since Firefox updated it checks add-ons every time I open Firefox. The Firefox homepage then opens along with my home page, two tabs. I want the checking to stop. This has not happened before--only with this update.

This question was reposted and replied to here: <br>

I keep getting "The MSN Toolbar has encountered an error. Please close all browser windows and start the browser again(Error code: 400)"

This error pops ups after I have mozilla loaded for a few minutes.

I tried installing (again) Premier Elements this morning after starting up my Win 7 PC. I did install some Windows (optional) updates and deleted several files suggested in "troubleshoot" when I got the same error mesage. The files/folders I deleteed before trying the install again are Cache, PDAppFlex.swf, and PDAppFlex-app.xml.
This lastest installation attempt resulted in the name error message I have gotten a dozen times, "The installation has encountered an error while installing. Please restart system and try again". The hangup always occurrs around the same spot while installing shared technologies. Maybe this info helps?

Whenever I Launch firefox it opens dozens of empty windows... WHY???

Ever since I installed Firefox 4, every time I launch it (open it) it opens dozens of empty windows... 20 or 30.
I don't need to say how frustrating this is and how it pisses me off... It also doesn't open the recent tabs I had opened even though I marked that in the options.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I used to love Firefox but now it is simply slow and take so many resources from my PC.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

IView BSP open too many sessions

I'm using SAP EP 6.0 NetWeaver 04 and SAP ERP 2005 : ECC 6.0.
I have create a BSP IView in my Portal to access an BSP application in SAP ERP 2005.
When I test it, the IView open too many sessions and then the ICM Server is not available. The server is Overload !!!
How can I configure the IView to open only one session ?
Have you got an idea ?
Thank you very much.
Regards,
Mathieu

Hi Mathieu,
I am not very familiar with BSP iViews and BSP applications but you describe a problem that sounds quite familiar to me.
We were running a custom application on a SAP EP 6.0 NetWeaver 04. It happend that a short time after a user started to test the application the dispatcher crashed. The crash was caused by too many sessions requested by that single user. We could not explain where the session requests came from and did some investigation.
We observed that the problem occurred only if the user used the MS Internet Explorer 6.0, the request was routed via a certain proxy server (MS ISA Server) and the protocol used was HTTPS.
To analyze the problem try an alternative browser and have a look into your network. Try to route the request differently. Try another protocol.
Best regards,
Martin

FF dissconnects after opening too many taps

When opening taps in FF7.1 I can get a few taps open without any problem, surfing normaly just fine.
When i open too many taps (normaly around 5) then FF can't connect to ANY pages anymore, not even the ones i had open before.
I've used the current installation for 2-3 months without problems, but after i moved my PC to a friend and back home this problem startet.
I've made a clean installation of FF7.1 only importing bookmarks to get alot of tabs open quick.
All firewalls/antivirus programs have been disabeled, and the rest of the net works just fine.
No error messages of any kind, it just keeps turning the "loading page"-circle untill i get tirred of it.
Windows 7 home.
Currently i have reverted back to FF6.0 to not go crazy from having to use IE.

FF6.0 does it as well... any idears ?

I desperately would like to update Firefox to version 10 from version 9 but each time I try, I am stuck with FF10 checking addons for comparability and the Welcome page opening every time I start the browser.

Windows 7 64 bit
I desperately would like to update Firefox to version 10 from version 9 but each time I try, I am stuck with FF10 checking addons for compatability and the Welcome page opening every time I start the browser. I continue to have to revert to version 9 to resolve this issue.

Sorry to be a while getting back! Tried all of that with no sucess so this AM, bit the bullet and deleted the FF folder from programs and downloaded and installed FF 10.01. Still was plagued with the same problem. Went into the appdata folder and there were two sessionstore.js files. Deleted them both, restarted the browser and no compatibility check for add-ons was done at start up and the extra tab for Welcome to FF was no longer opening Everything seems to be working as it should and I did not loose any of my settings.. Thank you for trying to help and I hope my solution helps anyone else who might experience this in the future. Here's hoping the next update goes smoother!

Photoshop CS5 doesn't work properly after opening too many images

Hi
This is my very first post.
I'm also new to CS5. I do hundreds of photo touching/cropping that is a part of my job for web.
Everything is running fine but when ever I open too many images in Photoshop CS5 it doesn't work, I mean it doesn't hang or freezes it just open all files and then doesn't show any images (just blank) and when I closes 20/30 or more images then it get fine.
I thought it might a RAM problem but i have i3 processor with 4GB of RAM. I have also increased memory usage from 60% to 80% but I'm still facing the same problem.
Would like to tell that in the previous version of CS3 I never got this problem and worked fine.
thanks

Disabling OpenGL entirely is draconian.
You could try, if it's not already set that way, going into the Advanced settings and switching OpenGL to "Basic" mode, which uses fewer resources.

Why Firefox 5 opening the "What's new" page every time I start the browser?

I have Firefox betas since version firefox 4 beta 1, so when it's updated to version 5, I uninstalled firefox, and install the clean version 5 with my saved settings.
Everything went okay, started the browser and it searched for addon compatibility, opened up the What's new page. But now it is for every start, so it's very annoying.
I tried clean the mess but nothing changed.
How can i solve this? thanks, and sorry for my english

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

HT1430 my daughter's ipod has been disabled after too many wrong password attempts. The ipod was not synced to a computer. How can we get it started?

My daughter's ipod touch has been disabled after too many wrong password attempts.
The ipod was never synced to the computer so can't connect to itunes.
How else can we enable the ipod touch again?

Restore, if iTunes will let you. Everything except the password will be restored. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. In your case, choose any computer with iTunes software. Be forewarned that it takes a long time. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
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.
