Mac user OS 10.6.8 Firefox 6.0.2. Click the Firefox icon in dock, program does not open new window. Type cmd+N to open new window, cmd+T to open new tab or cmd+L to enter URL, nothing happens. What causes this, and what can be done?

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!)

Firefox 3.6.13 does not open new tabs anymore. Ctrl-T, file- new tab , right click new tab no longer works. Why is this?

No new extensions or add-ons have been installed. And all the features options to open new tabs fail to open a new tab. Can someone tell me how to fix the problem? I'm tempted to downgrade to an earlier version of firefox or reinstall 3.6.13 to see if that fixes the problen.

disabling/uninstalling firebug and restarting firefox does seem to fix the problem. thanks. The next problem is trying to report the problem to firebug. firefox blocks the https://blog.getfirebug.com/2012/10/09/firebug-1-10-4/#respond web site/page because of its certificate, but does not give you an option to accept the certificate anyway.

I can block pop-ups, but not allow new windows in Firefox 4

After upgrading to Firefox 4, I can block pop-ups (except
those I wish to allow) just fine, but I can't find a way to
allow website links to open new windows -- I always get
a message that Firefox prevented the new window, with
an "Allow" button. I want to allow them all. How can I
do this? Thanks.

'''Scan for Malware'''
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try some of the following programs to scan for malware:

Firefox 4.0.1 does not allow me to reply or write emails in Hotmail

I can open Hotmail in Firefox 4.0.1 and open emails. I cannot reply to them: the reply email does not show a reply email address, and even if I enter it, I cannot type the body of the email in the textbox.
The same happens with a new email: I cannot type a message in the text area.

Hotmail is rolling out a server change at their end which might be causing this problem. Mozilla has spoken to them about it and they are trying to fix it. I won't be able to provide a time estimate by when it will be solved but hotmail/mozilla is certainly looking at this issue.
I will let you know if get any updates!

The Mozilla Firefox Support Forum software does not allow me to log-in. Why?

When I try to log-in to this web site with my longstanding credentials, no error message is displayed and the page "shakes" briefly like a car hitting a rut on a dirt road, and it appears that I am not, in fact, logged-in.
What is more basic and elementary than a log-on page, for crying out loud! One would think that with all of the (ostensibly) technically knowledgeable people involved with Mozilla and its software, that someone would be able to produce a user-friendly web site. Instead we get user-hostile nerdy geek stuff that might have been clever for 15 minutes 40 years ago.
''edited by a moderator to fix the formatting''

sendRefererHeader is set to the integer 2.
So what's up with the "shaking" as some moron's idea of an error message that fails to effectively communicate any useful information so that the user can take measures to correct it or otherwise be able to log-in?
They're probably the same moron who decided that no one should ever be able to open more than one tab for the same web site page. Whoever decided to make that change in Firefox 4 obviously does not have a clue as to how to use the browser that s/he is changing. Why are they even on the team?
Everything that I read about Firefox 4 inspires me to re-consider using Google Chrome.
(P.S.: please look up the definition of "moron" and consider how I've used it before you take offense. The shoe fits.)

I want to reinstall firefox version 4; 5 does not allow google toolbar with credit card autofill

I am using FF 5 and want to use google toolbar autofill for credit cards. Google tells me it does not support version 5 for this add on.

Firefox 4 was replaced by Firefox 5 and is no longer supported.
*Security and stability issues in Firefox 4 will not be updated in Firefox 4; '''those issues have been fixed in Firefox 5'''.
*Only 2 Firefox versions are currently supported: Firefox 3.6.19 (support to end soon) and Firefox 5.
*Firefox 3.6.20 (replacing 3.6.19) and Firefox 6 (replacing Firefox 5) are scheduled to be released on 08/16/2011 (subject to change).
There are some suggestions in the articles that follow to replace some functions of the Google toolbar.
'''Google decided that they will no longer produce the Google Toolbar for Firefox beyond Firefox 4'''. 
Future versions of Google toolbar will only work with IE7-9. Google Toolbar is not available on any other browser, even Google's own browser.

My firefox does not open new window and pop-up

i can't open new window with firefox. my versian is up-date
please help

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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.

Hyperlink does not open new window on the second page

Hi,
I have a report which shows list of products. Every product id has hyperlink to show details. When I click on any hyperlink on the first page, it opens in new window and looks good. But the hyperlink from the second page opens in the same window and overwrites main report.
I am not sh=ure what is happening?
Does anybody come across such problem and have the solution?
Thank you.
Julia

Hi Julia,
This is the way to resolve the issue in BO XI 3.1 SP3 :
Open the existing Crystal Report in the Crystal Reports Designer
Edit the formula which was created in the above step and replace sWindow=New with "target=_blank" as follows:
a href="http://<servername>:<port>/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sDocName=Drilldown" target="_blank"> MyTest </a>
Save this formula and save the report as well
Log onto the BusinessObjects Server box and modify the web.xml file located in C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\CrystalReports\WEB-INF by adding the following code in it:
<context-param>
　　　　　　<param-name>
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 crystal_encode_html_for_single_line_field_objects
　　　　　　</param-name>
　　　　　<param-value>no</param-value>
</context-param>
5. Save this file
6. Restart the application server (Tomcat)
7. Now, when you open the report in InfoView and click on the hyperlink, the target report should open in a new window.
Regards,
Anchal

Firefox starts, but it does not allow me to type anything in the search bar or the web address bar. I have uninstalled and re-installed it already. Internet Explorer works fine. What can I do to fix this?

It was working last night. However, in the middle of me talking to a family member in the messenger box of facebook. It just wouldnt allow me to type anything anymore. I closed it and re-opened it, but it didnt allow me to restore my sessions. I tried it again today, and it worked for a few seconds, albeit very slowly. Now, it just wont work. It opens to the Firefox homepage, but it wont do anything else.

I let Firefox sit on my desktop for about five minutes, and it finall allowed me to use it. That is EXTREEEMELY slow. What is the problem?

PPC Mac OS 10.4.11 with Firefox 3.6.13 does not allow GoogleMap's right click pop-up menu. Any fix?

Since the last Firefox update to v3.6.13 I do not get the right click menu in Google Maps. I am running a PPC iMac with OS 10.4.11 and this has always worked before. It works correctly in Safari.

Hello,
"I have trolled all the sites for safari problems on 10.4.11 and tried some of the things indicated"
Before we make suggestions, what exactly have you tried so far?

OC4J does not allow new client connections

I have a java application which connects to OC4J which manages Session Beans. We have recently upgraded to OC4J 10g (9.0.4.0.0) and the following error occurs while stress testing the system:
1)After 5 users have logged on, any new client application which tries to get a server connection hangs and no more users can connect until one of the client applications that is running is closed down. Is there a configuration setting we are missing to be able to up this number? I have 80 users.
2)Then the application server throws the following exception. Does anyone have any insights, suggestions, recommendations?

Firefox 4 beta 2 does not allow typing of credit card security code when accessing Bank of America ShopSafe website.

I reported this through Firefox's Feedback system. I also sent Feedback to Bank of America. I should note, I, so far, have had no other problems with Bank of America and Firefox 4, beta 2. I didn't have issues when I used the non-beta version 3 of Firefox prior to updating to Firefox 4. All I ask is that the issue be examined.
Thank you!

Firefox 4.0b2 isn't an "upgrade" or "update" right now. It is a pre-release version for testing the code that will become Firefox 4.0 - '''''5 or 6 months''''' from now. It's not ready for the general public, it is intended to be tested - only.

I accidently hit save password on my gmail homepage and now i cannot remove my login info. i looked under firefox settings and it does not allow me to make an exception for gmail. please help!

i hit the save password mozilla function for my gmail login page by accident. when i go under preferences, i cannot add an exception for gmail. now my login info and password are permanently displayed and i cannot undo it. the closest thing is to uncheck 'remember passwords for this site' but i do not want that because there are a lot of other sites that i want that function. when i hit 'exceptions' it has 'accounts.google.com' listed but it seems to not work for gmail and i cannot manually add an exception.

Different dialog. Try here:
Firefox > Preferences > Security > Saved Passwords
Can you find it there and delete it?
