Firefox opens new tabs automatically, so i end up with multiple tabs of the same site. it's like it is consistantly trying to restore my last session.

Firefox keeps reloading tabs from my recent history over and over. So i might end up with multiple tabs of Pandora, Google home page or other sites I go to all the time-all running at the same time . rebooting does not help.

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 [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

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.<br />
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

    You question is a little Confusing...
    Do you mean you have created A NEW Apple ID...
    If so...
    It should be Noted that anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID
    If not..
    Settings > iTunes and App Store > Apple ID = Sign Out... Then Sign In using the preferred Apple ID.

  • I want to create a mail merge for address labels into a table, but when I fill a table with merge fields, it ends up creating multiple entries for the same address, rather than one table full of each address.

    That is a quirk of Pagesthat  it applies only one record per page.

  • After downloading music and dragging into iTunes I end up with multiple copies of the album on my hard drive. I do have the "copy files into iTunes library" checked. When I try to erase one of the copies I end up with red ! in iTunes library.

    Please Help!  After downloading an album and dragging it into itunes I end up having multiple copies of the album on my hard drive.  I do have (under Itunes preferences, advanced) copy songs into itunes library "checked".  I'm sure this is the reason for the multiple copies.  When I try to delete one of the copies of the album and go back to itunes and try playing a song, I get a red exclamtion point next to the song with an error message saying itunes cannot locate file. My questions are, Does Itunes literally make a copy of the song? If so , How do you know which file to delete?

    Sony's own entertainment software on the Vaio plays merry **** with iTunes, worse there's no telling when it will kick in.
    First head over to the Sony Vaio site and get the update for the software, that will stop it from messing with the iTunes database/library files when you connect your iPod.

    With that stopped you can add the music back without fear of this happening again.

  • Opening multiple instances of the same vi

    Hi,
    I am having trouble opening multiple instances of the same vi.
    This vi that I am trying to create can be used like a message display window to display numbers, strings etc (just like labVIEW's display message control except that this vi will update the displayed controls every scan). So for example, I will like to have a subvi, lets call it popup.vi, where I wire in three inputs from my main vi (2 strings and 1 number). Now in my main.vi I have 2 numeric controls Num1 and Num2 with their KeyFocus property nodes.
    The intention is that when I select Num1 or Num2 numeric control with my mouse the KeyFocus boolean becomes true and the popup.vi logic kicks in. Meaning that the popup.vi runs and opens its front pane
    l displaying the two strings and one numeric value from the main.vi.
    The problem arises when I want to open and run multiple instances of the popup.vi.
    So when I click on Num1 with my mouse I want the popup.vi to open its front panel with a set of strings and number displayed. At the same time I would want to click on Num2 control and open another instance of the popup.vi with another set of strings and numeric value.
    Also, I saved the popup.vi as popup.vit but for some reason vi server will not open the popup.vit. I get a message that popup.vit is already in memory - cannot load.
    I have attached a sample of the main.vi and popup.vi program.
    Please let me know if you need further clarifications.
    I appreciate your help in this matter.
    Thanks
    Nish

    You have to clone the VI. You say you have tried to use the .vit way of cloning...but in the example there is no use of VIT and the VI is called statically. If you want to open multiple instances of the same VI and the VI has a user interface (or needs to be a unique instance of the VI every time even though it's called the same place in the diagram, not the case here though) you need to do it dynamically, i.e. with an invoke node.
    There is actually a problem doing just that, it causes a memory leak...but that won't be a problem unless the VI is called frequently / the software will be running over very long periods of time. You can see an example of it here (attached to my reply to the question):

  • Navigation bar opens new tabs for links on the same site - only newer versions of FireFox does this! Why?

    I've used this custom navigation bar for nearly a decade. New versions of FireFox open new tabs when I navigate to different pages on my weather site. Very annoying!!! I've tried turning off tabs, but then it opens NEW WINDOWS! These links ARE NOT ENCODED TO OPEN IN NEW WINDOWS! What is causing this? Looks like I"m going to have to switch to Chrome or go back to IE, since nobody at Mozilla seems to care about this. They seem to think it is a good feature and not a bug. What gave you the right to decide to open new tabs at random times? If I click a link on a site that is on the same site I'm already on, and the link isn't coded for _blank, then it should open in the same window!

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> 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.

  • With multiple tabs open, and selecting a new (blank) tab, RoboForm open new web page in far left tab, not the new (blank) one. How to correct this?

    Problem: Firefox Browser Tabs when using RoboForm
    When using Tabs in the Firefox browser (with multiple Tabs already open), I (1) click to open a new (blank) tab and then, (2) click on RoboForm to go to a new website. Instead of the new website opening in the newly opened (blank) tab it opens in the first (far left) tab. This only began happening when I installed Firefox 5.0 and RoboForm Desktop v7.3.2 at the same time.
    My system: HP Pavilion Media center, Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit, 8GB RAM, Firefox v5.0, Roboform Desktop v7.3.2

    Thanks a lot. The culprit turned out to be Webmail Notifier. Unfortunately, there seems to be some problems on their end that the developer has not yet responded to, but something about the extension is screwing up tab functionality.
    Thanks!

  • How can I merge all of the new FF windows that are open into one window with multiple tabs? Safari has a merge windows feature that I like. This is really nice when conducting reasearch on multiple sites at the same time.

    When I clik on weblinks they all open into new windows making it somewhat painful to clik on window in the menu bar to go to each new page. I would rather have a feature that would allow me to merge all of those individual windows into tabs within one page.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Thank you. That worked. I was able to open 1 window with multiple tabs. Thanks cor-el!

  • Is there a way to open new tabs on the same site without having them go to a new window?

    i like to go to article sites and open up many tabs where each tab is a new article. this allows me to quickly go from one article to the next. when i try to do this with the new firefox it opens the new tabs in a new window because they are from the same site. is there any way for me to turn that feature off?

    Do you mean the Switch to Tabs kicks in if you enter an already opened URL?

  • Opening new window or tab to the same site being viewed on another tab/wind

    I am a new MacBook user. In my past experience with Internet Explorer, I would often open a new window to the same site that I was already viewing through File>Open New Window. This method was often preferable to opening a new window through the IE icon and loading to the homepage. I have gotten quite used to this pattern and am trying to figure out if there is a way to open a new tab or window to the same page that I am already viewing. I know how to open a new tab or window, but rather than going to the same page as in IE, the new tab is blank and the new window goes to the home page. I am using Safari and Firefox and can't figure out how to do this in either browser.

    Hi,
    Try this, I think it works for both Safari and Firefox (not 100% sure on Firefox but think so...)
    Press command+l (lowercase L) and then press commandoptionpress return. That will open a new window with the current webpage in the new window. To open a new tab with the same details, omit the option key in the second step.
    Command key = one with the Apple symbol
    Option key may be called Alt on your keyboard.
    Hope that works!

  • When closing 2 windows(with multiple tabs each), system restore does not properly restore the second window's tabs. Is this a bug in the new update/any ideas to fix?

    I regularly use 2 windows with multiple tabs each and session restore would work to get them all back, but after this latest update the second window does not restore properly, with the first tab not visible on top(only in drop down menu) and the add a tab button now on the left(instead of right). The add a tab button is not really concerning other than it indicates other problems with the tabs on tab of the 2nd window. Not having the 1st tab visible is frustrating, because I can not move it or as easily navigate. Also, the tabs on top of the 2nd window that are visible no longer have the "x" to close visible unless that tab is selected. I'm assuming this is a problem with the new release/update, since this is the first time I've ever encountered the problem, and I've shut down and restored Firefox a few times to make sure this was a recurring problem and not a one-time deal. Any ideas on how to fix would be welcome(other than perhaps cramming my tabs onto one window or sucking it up XD).

  • How Do I Launch Safari with Multiple Tabs Open to Specific Pages?

    I'd like a Windows shortcut that opens Safari with multiple tabs open to specific pages. With other browsers (Firefox, IE, Chrome, etc.), this is easily done by composing a command line that lists all desired URLs. However, Safari doesn't seem to use the same command line syntax as other browsers. Furthermore, I can't find Safari's command line syntax documented anywhere. From the comments I've seen while researching this question, I suspect this is a neglected area of Safari development, and that Safari simply can't be configured to open multiple pages. However, I'd like to make sure. Can it?
    -TC

    It strikes me that it should be possible to do that (or something similar) by building a safari extension, TC. Both Sessions and SafariRestore are able to launch multiple tabs from a previous session, so it seems like you should be able to create an extension that launches multiple tabs open to specific sites when Safari is launched.

  • Why cant i close and save? so the next time i open firefox the same sites come up.

    Before i installed the latest firefox, a window poped up when i closed firefox asking what i wanted to do. save and close, just close or abort. after the update i only get 2 alternatives close or abort.
    I want the last alternative back so i can close and save, and get the same sites next time i open firefox.

    Firefox now always stores the old session which you can access by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session".
    If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
    # Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
    # Go to the General panel
    # Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
