Flickering TAB bar on Windows Live Help

When I login to Windows Live Help with the link

The tab bar keeps flickering and I can do nothing on the page

No, it's not an option on the customize window. This is the plus sign that appears like a partial tab to the right of the last open tab. I did discover a "work around" - if I double click anywhere parallel and to the right of the last open tab, it will open a new tab! I still miss that that plus sign, though.

The Windows Live Help Website Constantly Refreshes In Firefox

Hello,
I would like to report a strange problem that I am having with the Windows Live Help website when using Firefox, I did not have this problem until recently, the website was working fine in older versions of Firefox and Firefox 8.
I was using Firefox 8 without any problems with the website but recently the website started constantly refreshing trying to Read Support.Microsoft.com and WindowsLiveHelp.com, making the page un-useable.
I tried running Firefox in Safe Mode, but that did not work.
I updated Firefox to 8.01, but that did not work.
I updated to Firefox 9, but that did not work.
I uninstalled Firefox and installed it, but that did not work.
I ran CCleaner, but that did not work.
Most or all of my software is up-to-date, and my computer is malware free according to AVG Free, Emsisoft Anti-Malware Free, Hitman Pro Free, and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Free.
I am guessing that something changed with the website itself maybe, but the Microsoft Team suggest that I post this issue here.
My Post there is here:

A similar problem happened in Windows Live Mail (Web) after Microsoft did an update, but after a day the problem stopped, and several days later a similar and worse problem is now happening with their Windows Live Help website with Firefox; but this problem is not happening in IE9.
I have Firefox set to clear all temporary data when it exits and I am using Norton DNS.
Thanks,

That is a problem with a script on that page that tries to go to a non-existing uppercase anchor (the lowercase version is there) and keeps retrying that.

I have lost the "New Tab" plus sign on the Tab Bar on Windows XP

When I updated to Firefox 4.0.1 on my XP system, the "plus sign" mini tab that used to be appended to the last open tab suddenly disappeared. I can obviously use the New Tab option on the Menu Bar, but I prefer the convenience of the plus sign.

No, it's not an option on the customize window. This is the plus sign that appears like a partial tab to the right of the last open tab. I did discover a "work around" - if I double click anywhere parallel and to the right of the last open tab, it will open a new tab! I still miss that that plus sign, though.

New tab page only shows icons when I open a new window, not when I open additional tabs within existing window. Help!

When I click the + sign to open a new blank tab, I don't see any of my favorite / pinned websites. I can only see this when I start a new browser window, and only for the "landing page". Once I go to any other page, I can not get my new tab page with tabs to display.

I fixed it. I went into about:config and had to change browser.newtab.url to about:newtab
Thanks though! Marking as solved, have a great day

Firefox unstable with Hot Mail and Windows Live Forum pages

In URL (1) below, which is the Windows Live Help Forum, the page loads initially but does not complete loading. The tab heading (above the URL), keeps flickering and the page does not finish loading. Impossible to do any editing or making entries because even scrolling is not possible. The scroll bar cannot be controlled. Either, it cannot be moved or when moved it jumps back to where it was.
In URL (2) below, which is my Hot Mail Inbox, the problem is similar but on a lesser scale. The tab heading (above the URL), is flickering very often which is distracting when typing an email etc. but the page is reasonably stable although it looks like the page is never completely loaded. There are times that the the page stabilizes after a while.
Other internet web pages does not cause any problems.

Nice link and suggestion Smirnoff.
I assume that toolbar sits in the BTYahoo browser, (don't use it here) which is being phased out I think, so it's unlikely BT tech guys will do anything.
Even if the toolbar is uninstalled the registry remains the same and auto log in to WLM does not work so "Make Messenger Remember Me" could be a useful tool for those still irritated by this who turn to another browser.

APAS 3.0 and Windows Live Mail program

How do I change the email client that Adobe Photoshop Album Starter 3.0 is using from Outlook express (old emailing program) to Windows Live mail (new emailing program)? When I change the 'edit, preferences, email, to "Hotmail", it goes to a web site via IE (hotmail's website mail). But, I want to open and attach a photo to Windows Live Mail. Any help is appreciated.
Jorge

Hi Jorge,
You can use Windows Live Mail for your emails if you set it your default email client.
Go to Control panel->Internet options. Click Programs tab and select Windows Live Mail as your default client.
Now if you would use APAS 3.0 to send mail, Windows live mail would be used for email.
Thanks,
Sourabh

How do I turn off the tab bar in FF 24 when only one window is open?

I have just updated to FF 24.0 from FF 20 with Tab Mix Plus already installed. (OSX 10.6.8) From the Firefox Preferences menu, Tabs box, I have set the "Hide the tab bar:" option to "When I have only one tab." I have also gone to the Tab Mix Plus option box and set the drop down to the same value. Unfortunately, it doesn't have the desired effect. Firefox opens to my home page with a tab at the bottom. (I prefer the tabs at the bottom and that setting still works.) With only one page open, that tab is completely unnecessary, takes up space, and just plain bugs me.
Now, here's what I have found. Once I've started Firefox, if I go to the Tab Mix Plus options box and select "Hide the tab bar: Always" and then set the option back to "When I have only one tab" I can enjoy one page without the tab bar, that is, until I've opened several tabs and then closed all but one. Then I see the tab bar stubbornly remain. An incompatibility between FF and Tab Mix Plus, perhaps. Is FF 24 not letting Tab Mix see the number of open tabs? Dunno. But I can't seem to solve it.

Are you saying that the problem lies not with Firefox but with Tab Mix Plus? Tab Mix worked up through FF 20 to my knowlege. And I see from other questions that the persistant tab bar was an issue with FF 23 as well.
Please note, that setting aside the extension issue, the Firefox preference Tab option should turn off the tab option when there is only one window open without any help from addons or extensions. I have disabled Tab Mix Plus, and set the FF option correctly, but the problem remains. As I see it, FF is not working as this user expects it to and is (slightly) broken.

Only when i use firefox am i unable to view photos in my albums on windows live...please help?

When using my windows live (with firefox) all the photos in my albums appear as grey boxes.

See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
It is possible that you clicked "Block Images" in the right click context menu while trying to save an image. 
Check the image exceptions: Tools > Options > Content: Load Images: Exceptions 
See [[Options window - Content panel]] 
*A way to see which images are blocked is to click the favicon (Site Identification icon) on the left side of the location bar.
*A click on the "More Information" button will open the Security tab of the "Page Info" window (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
*Open the Media tab of the "Page Info" window.
*Select the first image and scroll down though the list with the Down arrow key.
*If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

Well, it is showing as being install in the version of Firefox that you posted here with.

''''' "and whenever I click on a bookmark, it opens in a new tab automatically" '''''
Probably caused by an extension, or a couple of extensions that are in conflict with each other.

How do I move the tabs bar to the bottom of the window, if it's possible

in firefox 11, is it possible to move the tabs bar to the bottom of the window? I know it could be done in firefox 10, with a simple edit of the userChrome.ccs file. Any help would be appreciated

Try Tab Mix Plus.

I can't add a tab for windows live mail , I am running windows 7 64 bit

I can't add a tab for email for windows live mail to the tab bar, I am using windows 7, 64 bit . I can add it to the 32 bit o/s, but not the 64 bit.

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

Opening hotmail: Please refresh your browser window, When you access your Windows Live Hotmail account from more than one computer, we ask you to sign in again to help keep your account private and secure . Refreshed but no change. in Safari no problem

When I double-click the tab bar, FF4 just resizes the window but does not open a new tab

When I double-click the Tab Bar, FF 4.0 just resizes the window but does not open a new tab. It happens when Menu Bar is disabled (not ticked).

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes). 
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]] 
 
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. 
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions. 
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") 
Your plugins list shows outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.
* Shockwave Flash 10.0 r32

Need help to open a blob from a report into another tab or browser window.

Hello everyone.
I'm looking for a bit of guidance on something I'm trying to do in Apex.
I have a report that contains a blob. Users can click on the link to open it in same browser. I also know how to make it download if they click the link. But what I really want to do is to click the link and open the blob in another tab or browser window.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Dw
I should have noted I'm using version 3.2

So far I haven't found a way to use something link "target=_blank"One way would be to use a Dynamic Action to apply the <tt>target="_blank"</tt> attribute to each link, or convert them to use APEX pop-ups or a jQuery lightbox like fancyBox.
Create an example on apex.oracle.com if you need more assistance.

Tabs only open in a new window. Ctl T opens a new window NOT a new tab help-last update this problem started. How do I set FF back to open tabs in 1 window

Tabs only open in a new window. Ctl T opens a new window NOT a new tab help-last update this problem started 2 days ago. How do I set FF back to open tabs in 1 window?
There is no plus sign and going into optins and changing settings has not worked. I have uninstall FF and reinstall-keeping my personalization-and that was no help.
Right clicking on FF Icon to open a new tab, or going up to FF drop down tab and clicking on new tab both do not work.
Help everything opens a new window not a new tab. there seems to be no way to reset this or to chose a different optin. I just downloaded new tabs at end addon and it didn't do a thing.

as a first troubleshooting step - does it work like normally when you open & run firefox in [[Safe Mode|safemode]] by pressing the shift key while you open firefox (all other instances have to be closed before)...
