How can I open up multiple copies of Firefox - as I used to do on old computer?

I have a new computer and downloaded Firefox 28.0 I need to have several copies of Firefox open at once when working on projects. Using tabs is totally unacceptable because I can only see one piece of information at a time. I know nothing about programming, so please do not tell me to do anything related to that. Is the best solution to delete the new version and go back to older ones?

You can right-click any link and choose Open In New Window, or you can hold down the Shift key while you left-click the link.<br>
If you want to open a new window, press Ctrl+N.<br>
You can also customize the toolbars and add a "New Window" button.
* [[Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars]]
If you want to always use windows instead of tabs, install either Tab Utilities Lite or Tab Utilities (not both).
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/tab-utilities-lite/
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/tab-utilities/
# Opens the Add-ons Manager (Ctrl+Shift+A), then the Extensions category.
# Click the Options button next to the Tab Utilities (Lite) entry.
# Click the Tab Opening tab.
# Clear all the checkboxes under "Open new tabs for".
# Set both options under "Open links in" to "New Window".

  • How can I open an attachment from inside a PDF portfolio using flex 4.1?

    I am currently developing a portfolio and have a DataGrid which lists my sorted attachments.
    I can right click on an attachment to open it but I require it to happen on the double click event.
    My code currently looks like this (taken from an old example):
    private function itemDoubleClicked(event:ListEvent):void
                                            var itemIndex:int = event.rowIndex;
                                            var item:AttachmentImpl = AttachmentImpl(sortedCurrentItems.getItemAt(itemIndex));
                                            var command:CommandImpl = collectionManager.host.commands(acrobat.collection.CommandType.PREVIEW);
                                            Alert.show("you double clicked " + item.fileName);
                                            collectionManager.host.selection = [item];
                                            command.execute(item); 
    but i get a null pointer exception because command is null.
    Could anyone give me pointers or another solution?
    Thanks,
    Chris.
    Edit:
    I would like to extend this question as follows:
    when using 'host.commands' (as i believe is correct) I get the error that host is 'write-only' and therefore can access none of its methods.
    The example I use is from here: http://pdfdevjunkie.host.adobe.com/05_sorting.shtml
    Using this method, the host is overwritten by doing the following:
    public function set host(host:INavigatorHost):void
                                                 if(host != null) {
                                                           _host = host;
                                                           startEverything();
                                                 } else {
                                                           _host = null;
                                                           //Alert.show("Navigator Ending");
    When I try to do this I recieve the error that the method is not set for override.

    If i try to simply use the host e.g.
    host.selection = [item];
    It tells me that host is write-only. How can this be true?

  • How can I open my Windows 7 firewall just for FTP use?

    I originally tried this question at the regular user forums, but after no success a Microsoft Support Engineer suggested I post here.
    On my Mac, if I use FileZilla to connect to an FTP (not sFTP) server, it works fine.
    However, in Windows 7 or Windows 8, if I use FileZilla  or WinSCP to connect to the same server, when it gets to the point where it starts to list the remote directory I get an ECONNABORT error and get disconnected.
    Here is a transcript from FileZilla:
    Command:    USER douglerner
    Response:    331 User name okay, need password.
    Command:    PASS **********
    Response:    230 User logged in, proceed.
    Command:    SYST
    Response:    215 UNIX Type: L8
    Command:    FEAT
    Response:    502 Command not implemented.
    Status:    Server does not support non-ASCII characters.
    Status:    Connected
    Status:    Retrieving directory listing...
    Command:    PWD
    Response:    257 "/" is current directory.
    Command:    TYPE I
    Response:    200 Command okay.
    Command:    PASV
    Error:    Disconnected from server: ECONNABORTED - Connection aborted
    Error:    Failed to retrieve directory listing
    However, if I turn off the Windows firewall it works and I can use FileZilla and other FTP clients just fine.
    My question is, rather than turning off the firewall altogether, how can I make an exception just for FTP, or just for FileZilla. I believe ports 20 and 21 are used depending on whether the connection is active or passive.
    It isn't just me either. I was trying to help somebody else who is experiencing the exact same thing in his Windows 7. If he turns off the firewall completely FTP works. Otherwise it's the same error. He is on a different network altogether, in a different
    country. Neither of us are behind proxy servers. In my case, it's just my home network.
    I tried the following so far:
    1. Make sure that FileZilla was listed as allowed in the firewall control panel. It was by default, so that didn't help.
    2. Creating an "inbound rule" in the advanced settings for ports 20-21. That didn't help either.
    Just completely turning off the firewall lets it work.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Doug

    Hi doug,
    What is your current situation? Have you solved this issue?
    Here I list the several solution:
    Use the network monitor the capture package related to FTP as arnavsharma mentioned.
    Take a look at the article as Sebastian and Sameer Gawde mentioned.

  • How can I transfer my music from an Ipod to my new MAC? My old computer broke.

    My old computer broke.  I got a new MAC Book PRO.  I have all may music in an Ipod classic.  Can I recover my music to my new MAc?

    Does the old hard drive still work? You can buy an external hard drive case and transfer data to your new Macbook Pro and recover your itunes libary. As far as i'm aware, Apple have not created software or allow you to move music from ipod to Mac.

  • How can I open a Numbers file to the last cell used on from the previous saving of that file?

    In Excel, the .xls file would always open on the the cell location where the file was previously saved.  Very nice to have feature when the file is long ,so one does not have to keep scrolling down the page to make the next entry every time the file is opened.
    Can Numbers do this?  I can't find an option for it.
    After opening a file, I must always scroll down to the last entry or where I want to start inputting data.  What a pain.
    Is there a way to open a numbers file to where one was located when it was previously saved?
    Anybody know?  Please help.
    Thanks

    CF,
    When I Save a Numbers document with a cell Selected and then close the document, the same cell is still selected when I reopen the document. Isn't that what you are asking for? Furthermore, if I have chosen 100% zoom scale, the selected cell is displayed in the same screen position as when it was last saved. What you may be seeing that you don't care for is that if the zoom is other than 100% the table's position in the display window may be different than at the last Save.

  • How can I open a PDF in my browser without downloading using Nitro Reader 3.5

    I use Nitro PDF exclusively for PDF viewing. I cannot figure out how to open a PDF in the Nitro Browser instead of always having to download everything.
    Not only PDF documents but software updates as well. Nothing opens up without downloading first.

    Hi,
    Please see the support article below:
    [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/view-pdf-files-firefox-without-downloading-them#w_using-a-pdf-reader-plugin Using a PDF reader plugin]
    You need to ensure that the default Action for opening PDFs is to use the Nitro plugin rather than Saving the file.
    Please let me know if that doesn't help.

  • How can we open a new instance of Firefox without URL bar and any other control (except PREV, NEXT and RELOAD)?

    Dear Volunteers,
    I am looking for a solution for Firefox Win App and Mobile Apps where on click of a button from the website page, we should be able to launch a new instance of firefox instance (like a popup box) with following features:
    a. It SHOULD NOT have any URL bar to display.
    b. It SHOULD NOT show any plug-ins or any other functionality except Previous, Next and Reload.
    c. This instance of firefox should always be on-top of all other application.
    Please advise, how firefox can be customized to offer in all platforms by default.
    With lot of hope from this volunteer community,
    Rajiv

    You would need your visitors to install some kind of add-on, since web pages do not have permission to block the display of the page address and users do not need to allow a new window to be modal and block other Firefox windows, much less other OS windows.
    Over the years, people have developed extensions for kiosk-style displays. You could investigate those for ideas.

  • How can I open the Permissions Manager? I have tried using the directions from the help desk, but it does not work. Any sugestions?

    I have done what the help desk said to by typing about:permissions in the spot you would type a webpage in, but it does not work. Help please.

    '''about:permissions''' doesn't work in the version of Firefox you are using.
    Exactly what permissions do you need access to?

  • How can you open multiple instances in Safari?

    I am new to the Mac world. I was so used to having multiple instances of Internet Explorer open when I used a Windows PC. Can anybody please explain to me how can I open multiple Safaris? Thank you for answering my question.
    McCam.....new to the iMac world.

    Hi McCam,
    Welcome to the world of Macs
    Open Safari, and then under the File menu you can open a new window (or press command+n to do the same thing - the command key is the one with the Apple symbol on it).
    Hope that helps.

  • HT4059 Have several books that were purchased recently, when all the sudden they have multiplied having 20 or more copies in my library   How can I delete them because it won't let me use the edit tab?

    Have several books that were recently purchased. This week these books have multiplied into at least 20 or more copies within my library. How can I delete them because it will not let me use the edit tab?

    Do they have the cloud icon on them ? When I had Settings > iBooks > Show All Purchases 'on' I was getting multiple copies of books that were only in the cloud showing on the bookshelf in the app - turning that setting 'off' stopped them showing (you can see what books are available for redownloading, and redownload them, via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the app)

  • When I plug my ereader into Adobe Digital Editions it opens up multiple copies of books.

    I'm having some problems with Adobe Digital Editions. When I plug my ereader into Adobe Digital Editions it opens up multiple copies of books. These are books I've either bought or am borrowing from the library. The books in some cases are no longer even on my computer (returned to library). Is there a way I can stop this? Do I have to uninstall then reinstall Adobe Digital Editions?
