Firefox stopped opening tabs on mousewheel click

Browser was working perfectly then in the middle of browsing session it would not react to mousewheel clicks that had been able to open tabs previously. Does not seem to be a problem with the mouse because I can still use it to do the same thing in IExplorer and chrome, in FF it goes to the fast scroll mode.
Tried reinstalling but did not want to uninstall and reinstall fearing loss of addons...
About:config says
browser.tabs.opentabfor.middleclick true
middlemouse.contentLoadURL;false
middlemouse.openNewWindow;true
middlemouse.paste;false
middlemouse.scrollbarPosition;false

You don't have to disable Greasemonkey. Just update it. Until the add-ons site approves Greasemonkey 0.9.11, you'll have to install it manually.

Firefox stopped opening tabs from previous session, like it used to. What's going on in V26?

One day it worked, the next day it didn't. I've done the TOOLS, Options, etc, but it changes back to Hm pg when it starts up.

In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":
*do not clear the Browsing History
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings

You can reset browser.sessionstore.* prefs that are user set (bold) to the default value via the right-click context menu on the about:config page to make sure that Session Restore is enabled and working properly.

How do I bookmark all my currently open tabs in one click in Firefox 4?

I used to be able to bookmark all my currently opened tabs with a click of one button under the Bookmarks menu, but that option is now gone. Is it gone forever or I just don't see it?

Hi, you can bookmark all your currently open tabs with right click on any of your open tabs, there you'll find the option '''Bookmark all tabs...''' (this option was there also in Firefox 3.x), then you must provide a location and a folder name to group those new bookmarks. Hope this info will be helpful to you.

Firefox keeps opening tabs on it's own whether I am on-line or not. I have reset several times and there are no pipe characters in the home page address.

Firefox keeps opening tabs whether I am on-line or not. These are often games pages, but not always. I have reset several times and there are no pipe characters in the home page address. This is not the first time this has happened. The first time was a couple of months ago and a reset cured the problem, but this time it does not. How can I stop this occurring?

'''''If this can happen with Firefox completely closed:'''''
Some malware simply launches pages in your default browser from outside Firefox. Definitely scan for malware using some of the tools listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
There might be an additional step:
Last year, many users reported advertising tabs opening randomly, sometimes even when Firefox was closed. It turned out that a program had created scheduled tasks to open those pages at certain times of day.
You can check the Windows Task Scheduler:
* Windows XP: Start button > [All] Programs > Accessories> System Tools > Scheduled Tasks
* Windows Vista/7: Start button > Control Panel > System and Security > Administrative Tools > Task Scheduler
* Windows 8: ?? You might try the charms bar search box if you don't find it in the control panel.

Very recently, my computer stopped opening quicktime when I click on a video clip in iphoto, Its quicktime X, and it works to play videos if I open quicktime and then search for the video. How do I go back to quicktime automatically launching from iphoto?

Very recently, my computer stopped opening quicktime when I click on a video clip in iphoto. I have quicktime X, and it still works to play videos if I open quicktime and then search for the video. How do I go back to quicktime automatically launching from iphoto?

Well since I do not have iPhoto 7 I can only guess what may be: As far I can remember up to iPhoto 8, iPhoto insisted on Quick Time Player 7. As I can see you have Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6) and there Quick Time X is the standard playaer. Basically Quick Time 7 is not part of Snow Leopard.
Can you please check if Quick Time 7 is installed under Applications->Utilitis (in 10.6 Quick Time 7 if presenet is installed not under Applications - there Quick Time X is - but under Application/Utilities).
If not: insert your Snow Leopard installation DVD.
Once the installer opens, double-click on the Optional Installs folder
Double-click the Optional Installs.mpkg package
Click continue.
Select the option for QuickTime 7 then click Continue to start the installation.
If it is there you may try to move the iPhoto prefernce file to another folder and let iPhoto create a new one.
Please keep the old file until you are sure that iPhoto works how it should.
The iPhoto preference file can be found under your home folder then Library then Preferences and there
com.apple.iPhoto.plist
As alraedy mentioned do not delet this file, since if something goes wrong you can put it back.

Firefox stopped opening Web pages when I click on any Website in E-mails on "Postbox" program.

Any E-Mail I received, personal or commercial, I could double click on them and Firefox world open or if open would go to the page I clicked on. This suddenly stopped working. I have had some updates recently from Firefox but I don't know where they might be listed. If they aren't causing a problem how does reverse the problem?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Firefox continually opens tabs about latest updated add-ons

Every time I open/start Firefox, in addition to my previously opened tabs (if any), it opens (or has started opening) an additional... 4-7 tabs...

The "Mozilla Firefox Start Page"
and (sometimes?) a "New Tab" consosting of the 'most frequent' pages...*
* Refuses t update itself...Such as whe/if I unpin previously pinned sites in order to re-arrange them... [<places 1, 4,5,6 pinned> ...adjust it by unpinning 4-6 and re-pin them in/to places 2-4>]... Every time FF closes and re-opens, it resets to the previous 1,4,5,6 pins, with the EXACT SAME pages in the unpinned places... Deleting and repinning, or changing up the pinned pages does nothing for the long run...when the browser ENDS and stats up again...Back to the previous "setup"
Wanting/needing help getting it to STOP opening the unwanted "thank you for updating / latest changes to" tabs, and updating the most recent tabs/sites collection.

1. Start Firefox
* Done
2. Close the unwanted tabs
* Done
3. Wait 2 minutes
* Done...repeatedly to the point that there's been -HOURS- between FF sessions.
4. Restart Firefox and see if the tabs still appear on startup.
* Done, and -YES-
I have attached a number of images.. They are as follows:
FF_BEFORE_restart.png -- Showing the current tabs opened, also depicting the "New Tab" window and it's 'speed dial' offering of most viewed pages
FF_ADJUSTED_Speed_Dial_window.png -- Showing (generally) how I put my speed dial windows.
FF_AFTER_Restart.png -- FireFox AFTER closing it and restarting it.
FF_RESET-Speed_Dial_Window.png -- The New Tab tab/window as it appears after adjusting, de-cluttering and "prettyfying" it.
You CAN ignore the 2nd & 4th pictures, as that problem isn't immediatly important...But yes, so far, closing the "excess" tabs, closing [waiting] and re-starting does nothing other than starts FF, closes the tabs, and restarts the browser...Only to have the annoyingly unwanted tabs in question reappear.

How open tab control, by click on an object?

Hello
I have a problem with labview, can you help me?
I want open a tab control object, to import some property in an array. but, I want open it, when I click on an object like a tank.(actually, first, it is invisible and by click on the object, will be visible)
how can I do it?
I think, I can do it, with a push button or a switch with same size to a tank or any object I use, but with invisible color! is it possible or any new suggestion?
Best Regards
Solved!

I know what a tab ontrols is, I just did not understand the "open" part. A tab control is not something that can be opened or closed.
Numbers are the values of the array. The word properties does not sound right in this context.
As I said, you can use an event structure. Create a mouse-down event on the tank and change the visible property of the tab control when it happens..

How do I stop firefox from opening every link I click on in a new window instead of loading it in that window?

Whenever I click a link to bring me to a game or maybe a different website, it opens it into a new window which keeps certain things from working.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I clicked "open in a new window" on a tab so i could have two windows

Hello,
In safe mode link still open in new tabs?
*[http://mzl.la/MwuO4X Firefox in safe mode]
Go to '''about:config''' and search for:
*'''browser.tabs.loadInBackground''' change its value to '''false'''.
If in safe mode the links still open in new tabs try go to '''about:config''' and search for:
*'''browser.link.open_newwindow''' change its value to '''3'''.

I've done something and Firefox don't open tabs when I click on the open new tab and when I click on right click there is a lot of options..

Wheb I click right click there's a lot of option, before I use to have just a few. I wish that I can send you a photo how that looks.

You can't attach a screenshot to the first post that starts a thread, but you can do that in subsequent replies.
You can check for issues 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.

Firefox keeps opening tabs to tell me about add ons!

Why does Firefox stop opening new browser windows when "Sync" is running?

I downloaded and installed Firefox Sync v1.4 to my Firefox v.3.6.10
While Sync is running, Firefox will not open a new window when I do any of the following:
* Click "New Window" from the File menu.
* Click "Open in a new window" from right-clicking a tab.
* Click a link with JavaScript to open the target in a new window.
No error messages, just no action. I updated Sync to the newest version 1.5 but the problem still exists. Disabling either version in the Add-ons window "fixed" the problem. Is there a setting that causes this problem? Are others experiencing this same problem?

Firefox 3.5 versions and later have a feature called tear-off tabs. 
You can detach a tab from the current window and open it in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window. 
You can drag that tab back to the tab bar in the original window to undo that detaching.
