Firefox opens within another firefox window

Firefox opens with the Logo and 'Mozilla Firefox' text at the top left and minimise, maximise and close top right. It then has 'Firefox' menu button with orange background at the top left and another set of minimise, maximise and close buttons at the top right
How do I make it so it only has one set of buttons top right?

Hi,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.

WARNING: Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!

I can only open one Firefox browser window. When I click the firefox icon from desktop or taskbar to open up another browser window it does not open. I am ablt to open up new tabs within the one window.

Have you tried: click Firefox button > New Tab > New Window '''''OR''''' CTRL+N '''''OR''''' File > New Window (if using the Menu Bar)
Once open, Firefox locks the Profile that is in use and you can not open another window with that Firefox version and Profile combination using the Windows Desktop icon or the Windows Programs list.

When a linked .pdf is clicked, it downloads rather than following the link and opening in another safari window.

When a linked .pdf is clicked, it downloads rather than following the link and opening in another safari window.

Thanks for the tip, but I had already tried this and it did not help. The File still downloads and , at the same time, a new Safari window opens - but the Safari window is blank.
Another discussion thread related to this problem is:
How do I prevent automatic downloading of .pdf files?
but this deals with Safari 5.1 which evidently has a problem with Adobe Reader.
I am using Safari 5.0, so the suggested solutions do not apply. ( I tried them anyway, but they did not work.)

A new tab is opening when I click anything on a page. Options that should open within the same window are opening in a new tab. How do I fix this?

I am currently using 16.0.2. I just did the update a day or two ago. Suddenly today, when I click anything on the page, it opens in a new tab. Just moving through the wizard options to get to this point in submitting this issue opened 7 tabs. How do I fix this? I only want new pages to open in new tabs. If I select 'Next Page' or perform a google search, I don't want a new tab to open. This is getting ridiculous. It's the third time this has happened.....always happens after an update from you guys.....and I can never find the fix in your support pages, and have to submit a question.

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
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.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

My plus (+) tab at the top of the page, which opens up another browser window, quit working.

When I click on the plus (+) tab nothing happens. It just all of a sudden quit working. Not sure if this occurred when Firefox updated or exactly when.

Hello Tact, '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is '''probably caused by an extension''', and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Add code to button to open in another browser window

I'm a novice Flash developer (I'm using CS5). I want to add code to a button in my Flash movie - to open another web page on my site, but in another window. I've searched TouTube, Google and I can't figure it out. Is this enough info to help me? Or what else do you need to know in order me to get this working? Thank you!
As of now, my code looks like this The line in red is the issue (I think):
on (rollOver) {gotoAndPlay("s1");
on (releaseOutside, rollOut) {gotoAndPlay("s2");
on (release) {
if (_root.link<>6) {
_root["item"+_root.link].gotoAndPlay("s2");
_root.link = 6;
getURL("http://www.google.com, "_blank");
Robert

use:
on (release) {
if (_root.link<>6) {
_root["item"+_root.link].gotoAndPlay("s2");
_root.link = 6;
getURL("http://www.google.com", "_blank");

How to replace LOV popup with a search screen that opens within same window

Hi,
We have a requirement to get rid of LOV popups from our custom OA pages. They need to be replaced by search pages that open within the same window.
For example, we are creating an employee assignment to a department. We first find the employee (currently using the LOV), then the department (currently using another LOV) and then save the new assignmnet record.
The two options we have are:
1. search page fully replaces the current page, and when the user has selected a record, it returns them back to the first page, setting some fields, eg. employee id, employee name, employee address fields.
2. search page opens in a region of the same page (PPR?) and then disappears once the user has seleted a record.
I am not sure how to do this, and really could do with some pointers, i.e. the best way to achieve this.
Thanks in advance
Mark

Both of your options are valid with some pros and cons.
option 1: It gives you a nice interface but then you will have a pass a large number of data back to 1st page.
options 2: You can use the Rendered property of a serach region at runtime and achieve your goal. Since it will be a single page, result set to base items mapping will be easier. Though this kind of UI will look bad if your search region is big.
So it all depends on which option is easier to implement for you.

When I open a new tab it opens in the wrong window

I have 3 or 4 windows containing lots of relevant tabs open at all times. Helps me organize my work stuff. All of a sudden today if I try to open a new tab in one window it opens in another window. Incredibly irritating and will be a huge problem when I'm back to work tomorrow morning. Can anybody help?

You may be working in a ''dialog window''.
Starting in Firefox 4, it is intended behavior that a dialog window not be able to have new tabs. However, the developers may have applied this principle to too many styles of windows merely because the window is "small."
To open a new "normal" window, you can press Ctrl+n or use File > New Window.
A bug already has been filed (many, actually) complaining about this change, and suggesting some tweaks to this feature so that it only affects popups which were truly intended to behave like dialogs.
Current functionality: [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=606678 Bug 606678 "Open Link in New Tab" shouldn't add tabs to popups]
Requested change: [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=644729 Bug 644729 – Popup window with all toolbars visible causes new tabs to open in another browser window]
Because posts on a bug get sent to everyone on a long mailing list, it is considered poor etiquette (spamming) to add "me too" comments to a bug. However, you can "vote" for a bug to get fixed, so it might be worth registering on Bugzilla to do that if you are affected by this on a day-to-day basis.
As a temporary workaround, I created a Greasemonkey userscript. It adds a button to pages detected to be in a dialog window so you can reload them in a regular window. As a 0.1 version it's not perfect, but if you run into this problem frequently, hopefully it will help.

Creating a PDF report within a popup window

bq. Hi, \\ Within my application i've a page which uses JasperReports to generate a simple PDF report within prerender(): \\ public void prerender() { \\ try { \\ this.planned_bar_tripsDataProvider1.refresh(); \\ if (this.planned_bar_tripsDataProvider1.cursorFirst()) { \\ getApplicationBean1().*jasperReport* \\ ("PlannedBarTripsReport", "application/pdf", \\ getSessionBean1().getPlanned_bar_tripsRowSet1(), null); \\ } \\ } catch (Exception ex) { \\ log("Exception generating report", ex);} \\ } \\ jasperReport() is taken from the Sun PDF tutorial (http://developers.sun.com/jscreator/learning/tutorials/2/reports.html) \\ Now, when this page is opened within the application (browser) window the PDF report successfully renders. \\ However, when the page is opened within a popup window, using the (onclick) Javascript function: \\ function generateReport() { \\ window.open('PlannedBarTripsReport.jsp') ; \\ window.event.returnValue = false; \\ } \\ the PDF report fails to render. The result is a brief pause followed by a blank popup. No exception. No Abobe embedded window. No clues as to what's gone wrong. \\ Any advice would be greatly appreciated. \\ Ta.

Opening an operating system window from Forms

An old feature from SQL*Forms was that you could open an Operating System Window by pressing a function key (or combination of keys)
I think this is still available in Oracle Forms 10g, but I can't remember which function key to press.
Can anyone help? I know that the function keys can vary across systems, so that I'm looking for is the default key (or keystrokes). I don't think it matters which versions of software are being used, but in case it does, the setup is:
Oracle Forms: 10gR2
Client PC: Windows XP
Client Browser: Internet Expolorer 6
Application Server: 10GR2 on Windows Server 2003
Database Server: 10gR2 on Windows Server 2003
The database has the ORAFORMS$OSC role granted to PUBLIC, and the "<OSC>" flag is showing in the Forms Console.
Control-K gives a list of the function keys, but doesn't list anything for opening a DOS window:
As far as I know, frmweb.res has not been altered, but it doesn't list an option for opening an OS window anyway.
This is not about the HOST command.
Thanks, Martin

Hi michaeltowse,
This is indeed something more complicated. Let me give you
some details about the project:
This project is to be initially created in Adobe Captivate.
It consists of the main menu that is to be created in Flash (menu
1); sub-menus, which are to be created in Captivate (menu 2); and
menus of sub-menus, which are to be created in Captivate as well
(menu 3). Now, the part where I need help on is the part that goes
from sub-menus (menu 2) to menus of sub-menus (menu 3). When any
option is to be selected from the sub-menu (menu 2), a new window
is suppose to pop-up (menu 3) that is suppose to be in Flash. This
new window is suppose to be a new Flash window and is not suppose
to be opened in a browser, but it's suppose to be opened in another
Flash window (SWF window). This whole entire project is to be
executed via an embedded Flash executable. Thus all the .SWF files
that were created in either Captivate or Flash are to be tied
together via a Flash executable. I was told in Captivate's Forum
that this may be done via ActionScript in Flash and I'm wondering
whether that is that case. Please tell me if my project makes
sense.
Thank you.

Can't open photos in separate windows in iPhoto 9.5

How can I view multiple photos simultaneously in order to compare shots side by side? Previously (in iPhoto '08) I was able to open thumbnails in individual edit windows and drag them next to each other to view. Now the images open within the same window, and opening more than one image makes each one smaller in order to fit in the same window, which defeats the purpose. I couldn't find any settings to change in Preferences or in menu items.

Wow, that stinks. Many people take multiple shots of the same thing and need to view them closely in order to discern which is the best. That's very difficult to do if it's not possible to enlarge more than one image at a time.
So far I have not found one improvement with the latest versions of iLife/iWork after upgrading from all my '08 versions. In fact, it's not even possible to open iWork '08 documents in the latest versions of Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. Apple, you are alienating your customers. Are you listening?

IWeb- links in snippets sometimes open within the snippet itself

I have many links in snippets that are supposed to open within the same window. I find sometimes if the the page is not fully loaded and users click on these links, they are then opened within the snippet and not the main window. I end up with a site within the snippet. It's horrible. Is there a way to define links using html or java in order to specify the change to occur in the main or parent window?
Thank you all in advance.

Your url would be helpful so that we can see what is happening, because I do not really understand what you mean.
If you place links in an html snippet, then you need to create the links using html in the first place?
The only way that a link would open like this is perhaps if you used iframe code instead of the ordinary link code?
