How do I easily resize firefox browser window in Vista?

I need to resize browser window so I can see a part of my desktop.

Thanks for your ongoing help. (And if this winds up being a duplicate post, my apologies in advance.)
I typed about:synch-log into the address bar and got an exclamation point inside a triangle next to a boldfaced message that reads "The address isn't valid."
Below that, in a box:
The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded
Then a line then two bullet points
* Web address are usually written like http://www.example.com
* Make sure that you're using forward slashes (i.e. /)

  • How do I open a Firefox browser window?

    Man, is this frustrating!
    I have a Samsung Galaxy 10.1. I downloaded Firefox from Google Play. I synched it. I added the "full screen" add-on. So where's the browser? I can't even get to anything that will let me type in a URL or a Google search term, much less the same bookmarks and tabs that I have on my Windows laptop -- which is what I thought "synch" was about.
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Didn't work. I'm stuck at a "top sites" screen that gives an array of nine tiles. Not a single one of those tiles is a Firefox browser of any kind at all. What the (blank) am I supposed to do?

  • How can I remove livesearch from the Mozilla Firefox browser window?

    Somehow I got the live-search malware embedded into the Firefox browser window. I have tried to remove it using SuperAntiSpyware, Spybot-S7D, and Malwarebyte. Plus ran AVG. Did all four of these several times. But I still have livesearch.
    How do I get rid of it? Will uninstalling Firefox and the reinstalling it work. If I uninstall Firefox and reinstalling it, will I loos all my bookmarks?
    Please Help!
    Thanks,
    Naturewoman

    Generally speaking, uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox doesn't solve most problems unless you remove all your personal settings, which I definitely do NOT recommend.
    These kinds of infiltrations can take some effort to remove. To make it easier, Firefox now had a "reset" feature which preserves your bookmarks but strips away custom settings and extensions, which are the source of most problems.
    You could try manually removing the "Printing Helper" extension and resetting your search settings first. If these don't help, then try the reset.
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
    Then run the Search Reset extension from here:
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/searchreset/

    Any luck?

  • How can you stop slideshow from resizing the browser window iframe ?

    Does anyone know where the code is that causes the iweb slideshow to resize the browser window when it is opened?
    When it is placed on a page using <iframe src="http://homepage.mac.com/coreydee/slideshow/index.html" width="760" height="580" scrolling="no" style="border:none;" frameborder="0"></iframe> It resizes the browser window when it starts.

    The iWeb .Mac slideshow, which you previously tried to add in an iframe, does have a function to resize the window. But it would not cause the whole window to resize, just page within the iframe so you would never know.
    However, the autoviewer one you are using should not do this.

  • Since I installed Firefox 3.6.3, every time I open Google Notifier, two Firefox browser windows open.

    I am running Firefox 3.6.3 on my Mac G5 and my MacBook.
    Since I installed Firefox 3.6.3, everytime I open Google Notifier, two Firefox browser windows open. This happens on both of my computers.
    This never used to happen before, in the earlier versions.
    How do I make it so that only one browser window opens?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I installed Firefox 3.6.3 ==
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X 10_4_11; en) AppleWebKit/531.22.7 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.5 Safari/531.22.7

    I got this all screwed up too.
    hmm.. where to start?
    3.6 and 4.0 beta - really aren't intended to play well together.
    As has been mentioned above, they tend to write over each other.
    I managed to get both 3.6.15 and 4.0 beta 12 on the same machine.
    But, I had to do it several times.
    I got lucky by deleting everything Mozilla, then installing 4.0b12, then 3.6.15 - while making sure that each installed into a separate folder.
    I also took care to copy out a couple of BookMark BackUp files - just in case.
    My old 3.6# had become so bloated - and, Unstable - for Me, it was time.
    The bookmarks were all that I was still interested in.
    All the Plugins, Themes, AddOns, etc... had slowed the app to a crawl.
    So, I did as complete a wipe of Mozilla bloat code that I could, including profiles.
    I then did some registry cleaning.
    Then I installed 4.0b12 and 3.6.15.
    I can't open them both at the same time.
    If I open 3.6.15 first, then open 4.0b12 - the beta comes up as 3.6.15.
    If I open 4.0b12 first, then open 3.6.15 - the 3.6 comes up as the beta.
    This has a lot to do with both apps sharing the same default profile.
    I hope to drop down to one app in the near future.
    So, cobbling multiple profiles in order to diddle side by side apps - isn't worth it at this stage.
    For me, I can't open FF 4.0b12 when my virus protection is running. PCTools doesn't like some thing about the way FF4.0 wants to phone home when it opens.
    So, I can't commit to the 4.0b12, yet.
    3.6.15 was crashing on open too - until I uninstalled the feedback addon. - go figure -.
    Also, I can't get the 4.0b12 to start in safe-mode with the PCTools antivirus running.
    At the rater they are going, I don't see 3.6.# going away any time soon.

  • Regarding resizing of browser window

    Hi,
      I am working on getting my UI to resize accordingly if the user resizes their browser window on the desktop. I know how it is done using css and using javascript, but what I want to know is if there is any SAPUI5 specific functionality to support this. Specifically I wanted to know if individual UI components could detect size changes so I could implement some different logic in their case. I have so far not been able to find any such functionality. If anyone can share info regarding this it would be great.
    Thanks

    Hi Adarsh,
    you said: Specifically I wanted to know if individual UI components could detect size changes so I could implement some different logic in their case.
    No, that's not possible. The only way to detect and handle the resize of the screen with JavaScript is via window object:
    window.onresize = function(event) {
        // your code
    Regards Michael

  • When I open a second Firefox browser window, the URL address window, instead of showing the URL, says "Go to a Web Site;" also, and more importantly, the "back" button is greyed out. This is a new problem, and the first Firefox window I open works fine.

    After I open the first Firefox browser window, any additional window I open does not open my homepage, but opens a blank page with "New Tab" showing on the tab. An orange "Firefox" tab with a drop down arrow shows at the upper left hand corner of the screen. All of the options (File, Edit, etc.) are greyed out, however they will work if you move your cursor over them.
    The URL address window says "Go to a Web Site". After I've gone to a website, the back button remains greyed out and I am not able to go back to a previous page. My RoboForm and Netcraft toolbars only show up in an abbreviate form. The add-on bar doesn't show up at all.
    Again, this is a recent problem, and only happens after I've opened one browser window (which works fine) and then open additional browser windows (as few as one additional).

    I had this same problem. Seems to be caused by the web developer tool bar FF extension (this started happening after a recent update to that extension). After disabling it, my FF is back to normal :)

  • I have problems with gameplay(zuma blitz and bejeweled blitz)in the firefox browser window. the game is latent and play is very jerky..can u please help. i played them in the IE8 browser with no problem

    i've tried playing zuma blitz and bejeweled blitz in the firefox browser window and the play is very jerky and slow.

    Just had the same thing happen AGAIN. Suddenly - a blank iPlayer Desktop which failed to download new programmes. All previous programmes were still in the repository folder. This time the sequence I outlined previously didn't work.
    What eventually got things working this time was to reinstall Adobe Air as part of the BBC iPlayer Desktop installation process - and not separately.
    So:
    a) Move iPlayer to trash.
    b) Find and delete the following folder: Users/Yourname/Library/Preferences/BBCiPlayerDesktop.61DB7A798358575D6A969CCD73DDBBD 723A6DA9D.1
    c) Find and delete the following folder:
    Users/Yourname/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AIR/ELS/BBCiPlayerDesktop.61DB7A798358575D6A969CCD73DDB BD723A6DA9D.1
    d) Find and delete the following folder:
    Users/Yourname/Movies/BBC iPlayer/repository/cache
    e) Find and run: Applications/Utilities/Adobe AIR Uninstaller
    f) Empty the Trash. I found that bits and pieces of BBC iPlayer were still running despite having been quit and dumped in the trash - and so it wouldn't allow me to complete this part. Restarted the computer, then empty the trash.
    g) Find the folder: Users/Yourname/Movies/BBC iPlayer/repository and rename it repository2
    h) Reinstall iPlayer. It will tell you that you have no programmes to view. Quit the programme.
    i) Find and delete the folder: Users/Yourname/Movies/BBC iPlayer/repository
    j) Find the folder: Users/Yourname/Movies/BBC iPlayer/repository2 and rename it to repository.
    k) Relaunch iPlayer
    It would be terribly nice if the BBC or Adobe stopped buggering about with this . . .

  • Firefox Browser window will not open or start.

    Sorry that this is long, but I wanted to make sure you knew as much as you needed to know.
    I click on the icon in my Windows taskbar, and the firefox browser window will not open.
    This was not the first of my problems. At first, Firefox would open immediately, but soon afterward, it began to slow, and soon, it took around 10-15 seconds for the browser window to start.
    Now it won't start at all.
    I will admit that I go all addon-happy on Firefox, but these extensions have never been a problem before. Here is the list:<br />
    <pre>ReaditLater
    ReloadEvery (this one doesn't work anymore, but I did have it once)
    Ookong
    PriceBlink
    StumbleUpon
    SimilarWeb
    WOT
    XMarks (I didn't use it much)
    NoScript (I recently uninstalled that one, but that might have a factor in it. That thing was WAY too powerful!)
    CoolIris
    CoolPreview
    AdHacker
    AdBlock
    AdBlockPlus
    PersonasExpression
    AntBar
    ABE (I'm not sure if this was an extension, but I know that there was
    alot of security-type addons from the Paranoid Kit, which is a
    list of addons on the addons webpage.)
    </pre>
    Oh yeah, one more thing! <br />
    I recently installed a GameVance installation thing. I'm not sure what it did, but could've had a virus in it that surpassed my security. I use Avast, if that's important at all. That thing was hard to uninstall, so I had to go back to the site to get the uninstallation software.
    I tried to use the firefox.exe -ProfileManager thing, but it kept crashing, so it was useless.
    Please help me fix this. I love Firefox. It's the only browser that allowed you to use the most addons! Plus, ALL MY STUFF IS ON THERE! I'd hate to have to change browsers (and I REFUSE to use Internet Explorer!)

    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser_will_not_start_up
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting&#58; Make a new profile]]
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)<br />

  • When I click to open Firefox, iTunes launches instead, and no Firefox browser window appears.

    When I click to open Firefox, iTunes launches instead, and no Firefox browser window appears.

    Actually... I take it back. I TRIED to update to 16.0.2, but I keep getting the error message that Firefox must be closed first. I'm using Chrome to send these messages, and have also closed iTunes, in case that was contributing to the problem. No use... I can't install the upgrade.

  • Why I can't see any Firefox browser windows after I open Firefox in Mac?

    I open my Firefox as usual, but this time, I can't see any Firefox browser windows come out but only the menu bar on the top was changed into Firefox menu bar. Is there any problem with my Firefox or I accidentally activate some "hiding" function?

    I am new to Ubuntu, but I see videos ok. Firefox may play some natively but I also have FlashPlayer installed. IIRC FlashPlayer is not on the original Ubuntu 11.10 CD but has to be installed as a separate Firefox plugin. From your system information aside it appears you do already have FlashPlayer installed.
    * Have you got FlashPlayer enabled currently ?
    * I Note you have [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DivX Div X] installed, which is not something I know about, but could that be interfering with some videos, have you tried disabling Div X.

    Open up Tools > Options -> General and toggle the first preference - '''Allow Firefox Developer Edition and Firefox to run at the same time''' - to get back to your previous Aurora Profile. It will tell you to restart Firefox.
    If there's a check-mark in the box for that pref it shows the Aurora Profile, if you remove that check-mark it shows the Developer Edition Profile.

    Hello Mark.
    You need a plugin to run those files. Apparently your Internet Explorer has it, but Firefox doesn't. I can't help you find it, but I think Firefox will tell you when you need a plugin to see the content of a page...

    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.
