Firefox Windows taskbar tab cannot minimize by clicking it but can be maximized

I can open Firefox, and everything works fine. The problem is that when I minimize Firefox by clicking on the Firefox tab in the Windows Taskbar, it can be minimized but when I click on it again it won't maximize, instead I have to bring Firefox back up by right clicking the tab and pressing "maximize".
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Just today....haven't changed or downloaded or deleted anything.

I do set it as floating. I mean if I can see a part of the VI window, I could active it to the frontend by the click the window. But if I cannot see it, I cannot take it to the frontend by clicking the tab at the taskbar.

to solve it I click on the taskbar and the keyboard is active again during a few click then it does not work any more and I click again on the task bar etc.
after several repetitions, I have to call the task manager alt+del+ctrl, then come back to the firefox window to be able to use keyboard and mouse again

Make sure that your username and password are set in the outgoing mail servers setting.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

Taskbar previews are not shown when there are more than 20 tabs across all Firefox windows unless tabs are in groups.

System details: Windows 8.1, Firefox 34.0.5.
Until today, I have not used the Tab Groups function. Today I just used it in troubleshooting this issue.
I noticed that when I have lots of Firefox windows open, I can't see taskbar previews for all the open tabs. The taskbar previews only show the active tab for any specific Firefox window. After some investigation I found that if I have 20 or fewer tabs open (in one Firefox window or across multiple Firefox windows) I can see taskbar previews for all the tabs. More than 20 tabs and the taskbar previews change to show only the active tab for each Firefox window.
After a little more investigation I found that I can see more than 20 taskbar tab previews if I use the Tab Groups function. I don't need to actually organize my tabs into groups, just to invoke the Tab Group function in each window. Trouble is, the tab groups do not survive after closing Firefox. I think this is probably because of an extension I use called Session Manager. Since I am not ready to give up the extension, I wonder if I can change the taskbar preview behavior to show more than 20 tab previews in the taskbar without using the tab groups function.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I am not entirely sure, but this menu should change that preview in your OS:
Control Panel > Taskbar > Taskbar Properties > Jump Lists change the number from 10 to the number of tabs
If it doesn't please see Windows support for help.

All open windows lock up, cannot minimize/close, must use task manager to close everything

I've been using Mozilla Firefox for a few years and love it. My home page is Google News, and Google is my chosen search engine. For the last three weeks, whenever I have Firefox/Google news open, then open another program, like Word, Quicken, maybe a downloaded game site, everything locks up - every single page including my Mozilla Firefox, my gmail account and whatever other page I have tried to open. I cannot minimize any screen, cannot X close any screen, this includes the original open Firefox Mozilla screens. The only way to be able to do anything on any screen is to use Task Manager to close the windows. My AVG protection runs scans every night. I have gone in and run my Malware protection program, another AVG scan, updated everything, flash players, run checks everywhere. Even ran a computer degrag, yet still the problem persists.
What now? I am frustrated having to completely shut down all programs running with task manager before I can proceed with any program.

I found that logging into Google Docs would lock it up EVERY TIME. So I disabled every one of the Add-Ons one at a time, and found the offending Add-On: Shockwave Flash 11.3.300.268. Disable that one and see if it solves your problem, it did mine.
EDIT: Disabling this means you can't watch YouTube videos. The best fix is to do a search for Adobe's earlier versions of Flash. Uninstall Flash Player from your computer and reinstall an earlier version. I am successfully using 11.3.300.265.

How to make one firefox window`s actions duplicate on all opened firefox windows. duplicating tabs only opens the original source of page, not current page view

I want to know is there a way to open, say 3, Firefox windows and duplicate the actions done on one to happen across all open Firefox windows. I want to use the repeat feature, left click followed by ENTER the whole time on a current thing I'm working on. The tabs won't work because I have to flip through them the whole time. I'm currently doing this on two computers at the same time but need an easier way. If I duplicate tabs, it only opens the original source of the page I duplicate and not the current page I'm viewing so its a time taking process to click on the links where I need to be then start doing the control+tab. Speed is a major issue so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I am still trying to figure out what it is you are trying to do.
You have X number of pages open, and you want what you do to one page
to also be repeated on the other pages? Most browsers think that multiple
pages are individual, and separate.
What is it you are working on? No secured information, please.

Can't see my Firefox window and tabs, but they are somehow open

Yesterday I had a single Firefox window (with approx. 20 tabs) open, and then the window disappeared. I figured that I'd lost all my tabs.
When I opened a new window, and attempted to check my Outlook mail, I got the message "There was a problem opening your mailbox. You may have already signed in to Outlook Web App on a different browser tab. If so, close this tab and return to the other tab." I am now hearing a *ding* whenever I get a new email. However, I cannot find the window or tab in which my Outlook is open! It's like the Firefox window is invisible or hiding somewhere.
If possible, I'd like to locate this invisible Firefox window, and not have to re-locate all the websites I had open in the tabs. I've opened the Windows Task Manager, but it doesn't show any open Firefox applications.
Any ideas? Where is this open Firefox window hiding?

Thank you much!

Every time I open a new FireFox window or tab Bing opens instead of my home page.

How do I stop Bing from opening everytime I start FireFox, open a new window or tab in FireFox? When FireFox starts I have my options set to open with my homepage.

You can check the target line in the Firefox desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties) to make sure that nothing is appended after the path to the Firefox program.
Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.

Window menu no longer lists my Firefox windows. Just offers minimize or zoom.

Running Firefox 34.0.5 under Mac OS 10.6.8.

Hi 3rdAveSlinger,
Very odd. There is bug report for this problem, so it will hopefully be resolved soon:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1108802
In the meantime, until it's fixed you might find Firefox's tab groups a useful alternative:
[[Use Tab Groups to organize a lot of tabs]]
Alternatively, you might be able to switch between Firefox windows by right-clicking the Firefox icon on your dock, or by prssing Cmd+` on your keyboard.
(Cmd is the key that has a ⌘ symbol)
Hope this helps,

Needed: Two completely separate cookies for two firefox windows (or tabs) for the same site in both.

Hello,
I have searched and I can not a Firefox (FF) feature or an add-on that alleviates this issue, please let me know if either already exists, thank you in advance for your time.
Issue: I have had great difficulties in having two FF browser windows logged into different accounts on the same site at the same site.
For instance, say I have logged into gmail.com in browser window A.
Then I try to log into different gmail account in browser window B.
Every time I replicate this scenario with secure sites, problems arise one way or another.
It seems as though the two cookies are connected in some way, and I wish I had the ability to disconnect the two cookies from two FF browser windows.
Also, expanding this capability to two FF tabs in a single browser window would be phenomenal.
Thanks again for your time and please let me know of any suggestions that you have.

There is an addon that will allow cookies to be self-contained in tabs. It isn't perfect but it works http://www.nektra.com/products/cookiepie-tab-firefox-extension

Cannot send mails via IMAP but can receive mails

HI All
Having Exchange 2010 SP2 on standalone box on W2K8R2-std sp1
We enabled IMAP and POP3 for our user base who do not have Outlook or are facing issues with active sync.
mailbox gets configured however none of mails are sent via IMAP they remain stuck in user outbox only.
They can receive mails but can't send. we tried configuring same users on Outlook and activesync and it worked.
We were surprised with some mis-configuration at IMAP end but could't get to root of it. Any idea what could be an issue????
for imap testing we tried Zimbra 7.2.3 on windows 7 pro, Windows Mail app in windows 8.1. IMAP in windows phone 8
Have enabled IMAP and pop3 logging but couldn't interpret it.
Cheers VP

Hi vp89,
Based on my knowledge, POP3 and IMAP cannot be used to send messages.
E-mail applications that use POP3 and IMAP4 to send messages rely on the SMTP protocol to send messages.
The connector for receiving e-mail submissions from client applications that use POP3 or IMAP4 is created automatically on every Hub Transport server.
We need a Send Connector.
More details in the following articles:
Understanding POP3 and IMAP4

Create an SMTP Send Connector

Hope it is helpful
Thanks
