Firefox opens multiple times (many windows) when click once, even after a reinstall in Windows 7.

There really isn't much more to say, except that the situation occurs even after restarts.

The cause is most likely the preferences file in your profile folder. That file contains your personal settings, so it doesn't get deleted when you reinstall/update Firefox. The reset feature also retains your preferences file.
Instead of doing a mass delete of all your settings, you can try identify the culprits and reset them individually.
# In the [[Awesome Bar - Find your bookmarks, history and tabs when you type in the address bar|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
# Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''', to continue to the about:config page.
# Click on the '''Status''' column, to sort your preferences by status, and group all the ''user set'' preferences together. They should appear in bold.
# If you see any preference that look suspicious, just '''right-click''' on it, and select '''Reset'''.
If you're still not sure which ones to reset, you can post most of them here easily. Go to '''Help > Troubleshooting Information''' then click '''Copy text to Clipboard'''. Open a reply to this post, and go to '''Edit > Paste''' to paste the info from your Troubleshooting Information page.

Why are some app icons hi-def in the App Store, then pixelated when downloaded? (Even after uninstall/reinstall)? Any way to fix this?

Just as an example, TSN. The icon always appears as hi-def/Retina display in the app store if you search for it or it asks you to update, then when it updates it goes back to being pixelated. I can see if it is an app-specific issue but there are other apps like Bank of America which do the same thing. I don't think it's because they haven't updated the icon because they have, it appears perfect when viewed in the App Store. Uninstall/reinstall did not fix this. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated! It may sound minor, but it makes all the difference visually!

How pixelated could the app look like? The only reason why the app icon could look pixelated, is if you are using the iPhone 4 or iPod Touch 4th generation. They obviously have an upscaled resolution, so the apps could not have been upscaled when downloading... I am not sure about this issue...
Like you said, it is a minor issue...

When I set up an App Tab the original tab and the App Tab are both there when Firefox opens next time

When I set up an App Tab the original tab and the App Tab are both there when Firefox opens next time. I have tried saving the current tabs, etc but that doesn't help.

I had this problem after I installed an update for Java. Firefox also stopped remembering my open tabs from last time. I disabled all of the Java plug-ins, restarted, and it's worked great ever since. Haven't missed Java yet either.

JFrame opening multiple times - strange bug

Hi there
I'm having this problem whereby a window (a JFrame) is opened multiple times - it works as follows:
- I've got one JFrame which is opened via a button in my main JFrame (I'll call it JFrame 1)
- A second one is opened from within the first in a similar way (JFrame 2)
- The first time one opens JFrame 1 one can open and close JFrame 2 fine as many times as one wants
- But when one closes JFrame 1 (this with JFrame 2 closed) and then reopens it (JFrame 1) and then clicks the button to open JFrame 2, JFrame 2 then opens twice - except one of them contains no components while the other contains everything it is meant to
- The same thing happens as many times as I close JFrame 1 - except that when it is closed again JFrame 2 opens 3 times, then 4 and so on
This is what I have for JFrame 1 (the actionlistener in the main window just calls showDebateRound(int roundID):
public void showDebateRound(int roundID) {
 JFrame roundWindow=new JFrame("Round Draw");
 roundWindow.setDefaultCloseOperation(DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
 showRoundTitle.setFont(new java.awt.Font("Dialog", 1, 18));
 showRoundText.setColumns(20);
 showRoundText.setEditable(false);
 showRoundText.setRows(5);
 showRoundScroller.setViewportView(showRoundText);
 //showRoundPrint.setEnabled(false);
 //work out the title
 showRoundTitle.setText("Round: "+getRoundTitle(roundID));
 //work out the draw output
 showRoundTexts = "Motion: "+round[roundID].getMotion()+"\n\n";
 for (int i=0;i<debateCount;i++) {
 if (debate.getRoundID()==roundID) {
showRoundTexts=showRoundTexts+"Prop: "+team[debate[i].getTeamOneID()].getTeamName()+"\nOpp: "+team[debate[i].getTeamTwoID()].getTeamName()+"\n\n";
showRoundText.setText(showRoundTexts);
//layout

}JFrame 2 is constructed in the same way as JFrame 1
Does anyone have any idea why this could be happening? I can post more code if need be. Thanks.

hiding the form is probably more efficient than creating a new one each timeI rather think OP's both hiding the form and creating a new one each time.
I would really like to know why it is not workingYeah, so would I.But where's the code that brings up the second JFrame? the actionListener.actionPerformed of the button that opens it?
Better still, post a SSCCE limited to the minimum code that shows the problem.

Photoshop is opening multiple times...WHY??? (please help).

When I double click on an image (from Bridge for example) to open in Photoshop it will open up CS6 and then sometimes when I open another image, instead of opening up in the same open Photoshop program, it will open up an additional Photoshop program. Both CS6, Version 13.0.6 x64. Super frustrating when sitting with a client and trying to add an image to a document and it opens up in a different program... Is there a way to see where Photoshop is opening from? Why would CS6 be opening multiple times???
I don't think I noticed this happening before I upgraded to Mavericks (yes, this has been happening for a while). I also have a back-up program called SuperDuper that mirrors my system on a separate hard drive. Could Photoshop be opening from there, too?
Thanks for any possible help!

Same file opening multiple times

When I open a folio file in DPS, it opens the same file 100 times. I've tried reinstalling and force quitting InDesign but every time I reopen InDesign the file keeps opening multiple times. What can I do to stop this?

There are hyperlinks on all of the folio pages. I'm using InDesign CC and the error starts when I open the Folio Overlays panel. This panel is no longer included in the Digital Publishing interface.

The finder is opening multiple times 30 as well as creating 40 to 50 files at random while reading mail.

The finder will open multiple times 30 plus as well as create 40+ blank file folders on the desktop at random. Please help!

Outlook opens multiple times

Outlook opens multiple times on my macbook pro. How can I get this to stop?

Problems such as this are normally caused by javascript, so I can only suggest that you check your javascript code, especially those associated with the onLoad event.

When I check my iCloud backup it says it has never backed up and when I try to back manually it gives a message of " estimating back up time" and doesn't back up even after having left it for many hours?

Yes I have tried that last weekend ad this weekend. I have tried wi fi at different times of the day too; in case it is speed issue. I have tried selecting only backing up limited content and not every thing per what other users suggest.
It's maybe either the router is lousy or there is something wrong with my software or hardware.
Appreciate your thoughts
Thanks!!

After I upgraded to Mavericks I was also having this message when I tried to update. There was a previous post about this problem which offered this simple solution which worked for me:

Got it! Thanx. What I did was go to my account, check that they had my new ID and Password which they did, then hit reset button. All fixed.

firefox x86 32 on win8 rp 64 beta 16 gives persistent "eval in sandbox error" as "javascript error" even after uninstal/reinstal -
have not yet uninstalled with deletion of all user files.
greasemonkey runs some javascripts - I don't give a hoot if they are "secure" or not, or indeed anything about "security". oh well I am odd that way.

Firefox beta 17.0b2 - Windows 7 pro x64 - problem started 10.13.12 after whatever Firefox auto update(s) installed that day. Not all sites, but MANY. e.g., Facebook. Whether Javascript enabled or not, with Firefox extensions/plugins on or off. Experienced as few as 4, as many as 20 (!!!!) error boxes to close before able to continue - depending on the site. Open in another tab or window still error boxes on CURRENT window, even if current site has no problem. Page refresh causes error boxes again. Any navigation on offending site (clicking on site links, opening photos, etc.) causes, again, error boxes.
Troubleshooting: Uninstalled Java. Reboot, then tested Firefox, no relief. Uninstalled Firefox. Reboot. Reinstalled Firefox (17.0b2). Reboot, then tested again, no change. Upgraded Java to most recent (1.7.90.5). No change. Subsequently added Firebug and ConsoleExport so can provide more info.

Open Sale Order Value (FD33) not getting diminished even after closing SO?

Hi,
Upon Executing FD33 and clicking the status view for a Customer say XYZ , and then choosing EXTRAS-Open Sale Order . Say the value of open sale orders being shown is 75000. Even after closing the open sale orders (By Selecting VA05 and Putting reason for Rejection), and then also the Open Sales Order value is not getting diminished.
What could be the reason ?
Pls help.
Regrds,
Binayak

Hi Binayak,
As mentioned by you, running of Credit re-org program 'RVKRED77' is the only solution for this problem and it is known problem in SAP.
Some precautions
1. Always run the program in background by scheduling a job.
2. The idle time is around midnight when no user is working on SAP.
3. Some time the job fails as some other program may be updating same tables as this program. In such cases re-schedule the job at different time.
4. You may run the program 'RVKRED88' which will simulate without actual updation of credit values.
Hope this clarifies..
Regards,
Madhu.
