How do I Fix hangsup upon opening/closing a private window?

Firefox says I need to close an existing instance of the browser after closing an opened private browsing window, regardless of whether I browse the web in the window or not. Simply opening a private browsing window makes Firefox hang upon exiting.

Hello,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.

How do you make adobe X open the "combine pdf" window in the foreground?

This may not be the correct forum for this question, but considering that I simply
have not been able to get a reply in any other Adobe forum, I decided
to just post this question to ALL Adobe forums until I get a response.........
How do you make adobe X open the "combine pdf" window in the foreground?
I am using a "Windows 7" computer at work with "Acrobat X Pro" and I'm constantly combining
pdf's and tiff's in Acrobat.
It would be nice if when I select 30 or 40 files to combine, the *******
"Combine Supported Files in Adobe Acrobat" window would open in the
foreground, not behind the 10 or so windows already open.
I have been researching this for some time now with no solution.
If the answer is that "IT CAN'T BE DONE", then that's fine. At least
I will have an answer and can stop searching. If (as I suspect) it can
be done, then kindly supply me with "step by step" instructions.

Hi ,
I guess that was a bug in that version .
It does not happen in Acrobat XI and Acrobat DC .The window comes right in front of everything else .
I wonder that was a bug and that was fixed the other versions.
You could upgrade to the latest Acrobat version ,i.e Acrobat DC and you would not experience this anymore .

Right click the FireFox button in your toolbar and look in the properties- middle tab...make sure that it only has "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" with no other link added to the end. I had a similar problem this morning and found a website had attached it's link to the end so it would always pop up first and would only open a new tab.
Hope that fixed it.

My 3 year-old macbook pro is very slow. I have run disk utility and virus scan with no improvement. The "beach ball" will spin for minutes at a time when opening, closing or changing windows. Apple Store looked at it a few months ago with no help.

Under CPU: 3.5% user; 5% system; 91% idle; 441 threads; 90 processes.
Under System: out of 2GB - 54.7MB free; 530MB wired; 603MB active; 862MB inactive; 1.95GB used.
Is too much of the system memory tied up? If so, what can I do to free some up?

How can i make my hyperlinks open in a new window or tab?

how can i make my hyperlinks open in a new window or tab?

The program is InDesign… we need to cease links which will open the linked document in a separate window. Also, the links must be maintained once a pdf is made and the files moved to another computer….

I have an iMac, version 10.8.5 and can no longer open a new private window.

I am using Firefox 25.0.1 and my OS is up to date.
A few days ago, I could no longer open a new private window.
When I click on that tab, I get a new open window.
When you reply, please keep in mind that I am not computer literate and would appreciate a non-technical answer.
Thanks.

How do I get safari to open a pdf in window.

How do I get safari to open a pdf in the browser window. A while ago I turned it off by typing defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport -boolean yes into the terminal. Basically how do I undo that command

Then do a "get info" on it (Apple Key with the letter "i" key)
Select the "Open With" Box
Change it to "Preview"
Then select the box just beneath it
"Change All."
This should set your PDF's to be read with Preview.

How Do I Prevent Hyperlinks from Opening in a New Window?

Hi,
Does anyone know how to make links in the current presentation open in the same window?
While I understand that ordinarily it would make sense to have links in the middle of the presentation open in new windows so as to not make users lose their current place in a presentation when they click on a link, my presentation ends with a link to a quiz on a secure server. Because the link in Presenter forces a new window to open, it is not evident to all users that the link does anything. This is especially true for IE users.
Thanks for the help,
Todd

You do not need to move your cursor much when pressing the mouse button to cause the tab to tear-off/tear-away into a new tab. No "sensitivity" setting that I am aware of. The tab in the new window can be dragged back to the original window.
To disable the feature, install this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bug489729-disable-detach-and-t/
*Read the information on the above page
*Set options for the add-on: Add-ons > Extensions, click Options next to the specific Extension (the 2 options are defined/explained in the above page).

How set up multiple homepages to open in a separate window (not a tab) when desired...

I would like to setup and be able to click on a Firefox profile (I assume profile) or pass parameters to the firefox.exe and have firefox open about 6 separate windows (not tabs) set to different home pages.
If I use the Pipe Symbol in Options, it will open separate tabs but also ause the probelm below which I also would like to solve.
A lot of times I also want to run another instance of firefox by clicking on the Firefox icon in my quick launch tray and DO NOT want it to open up all of these sites again.
How is this best achieved?
In the past I just opened up each site individually in its own window.
Thanks very much
Peter

You can create multiple shortcuts on the desktop and include the URL to the command line and use the -new-window switch to specify a new window.<br />
You need to use the -new-window switch for each URL (-new-window URL1 -new-window URL2).<br />
If the command line gets to long then you need to use a CMD file to store the full command line (start "" firefox.exe -new-window etc.).

How do I make all links open in a new window?

I have some RSS feeds on my website. If you click one of their headlines it takes you to that source to read the story. Is there a way to make all hyper links on a webpage open in a new window? If not, is there a way to make the individual links open in a new window? The website is http://www.businessfixer.net/articles

Mark,
Target: e.g. <a href=”#” target=”_blank”> is deprecated (outdated) code. Strict doc types will not pass validation.
OP,
Most people know how to use their browsers BACK button to return to a site. Or better yet, right click on links to open them inside new tabs or windows. This should almost always be a user's decision and not a web designer's decision.
If you have all links open in new windows/tabs, In no time at all, user's browser will be stuffed with them which is ugly and can diminish browser performance.
If you need to open a new window on SELECT links, use the Behaviors Panel, press the Plus sign (+) and select Open Browser Window. Repeat this for all links you want opened in new windows.

When I click on any Bookmark, how do I set it to open in a new window by default?

Right clicking an icon in the Bookmarks Toolbar provides a drop down menu. That menu has "Open" as the Default and "Open in a New Window" as the second choice. I'd like to make "Open in a New Window" the Default. In other words, I'd like to be able to click on a Bookmark icon and open a new window. Is there a line in 'about:config' that I can change to accomplish this?

Go to Tools->Options->Apps
Here you should see two columns: Content Type on the left, Actions on the right.
Find and select excel spreadsheet or any other content type in the left column. There should be a corresponding action in the right column. What is it? You can use the drop-down list to select the option you want:
Always Ask - Firefox will ask each time: What do you want to do with this file?
Save file - Firefox will save this file to your computer
Use - Firefox will give this file to the program to open it
In case of saving, Firefox will either prompt you every time where you want the file to be saved, or save it to the default location. It depends on the preference in
Tools->Options->General->Download

How Can I Stop Tabs from Opening in a New Window?

Since I updated to the newest version of Firefox, I am PLAGUED by a problem, and I can't get it to stop. When I return to Firefox and click on any tab, it almost always causes that tab to open in a new window. I understand this is a feature--drag a tab into the screen and it will cause that tab to open as a window, but I am not meaning to drag these tabs! I am using Firefox EXACTLY as I have used it for years, but for some reason, it seems to be interpreting my clicks differently--either I am dragging the tab a *tiny* bit, or it is simply registering that I have dragged the tab when I haven't. Is there a way to disable this feature? Or a way to decrease the sensitivity of the thing, so that you have to actually drag the tab all the way into the window before it opens as a new window? It is truly making me batty. I'm about to switch permanently to Chrome.
To be totally clear: this is happening when I am simply trying to switch from one tab to another.

You do not need to move your cursor much when pressing the mouse button to cause the tab to tear-off/tear-away into a new tab. No "sensitivity" setting that I am aware of. The tab in the new window can be dragged back to the original window.

How do I make a Hyperlink open in a different window?

Hello,
When people click my Hyperlinks they leave my website. Is there a way for the hyperlinks to open in a new window so that my website always stays open on the desktop?
I hope that is clear?

I don't recall the previous versions to 08, but in 08 in the inspector when you enable a hyperlink to an external page there is an option to have the link open in a new window.

Spry Gallery - how to get large image to open in a new window?

Hey guys,
I'm building a new website and decided to use Spry for the Gallery section. It works like a charm but I want to get the larger version of the image to open in a new window when someone clicks on the normal image? It shouldn't be that difficult but I'm lost. Can anyone help?
I believe I have to put a <a href> infront of the image something like this:
<div id="picture">
<div id="mainImageOutline" style="width: 0px; height: 0px;"><a href="?????" target="_blank" id="??????"><img id="mainImage" alt="main image" src=""/></a></div>
</div>
and something to the XML file...
<photo
path = "1.jpg"
width = "300"
height = "400"
thumbpath = "1.jpg"
thumbwidth = "56"
thumbheight = "75"
large = "galleries/xyz/large/1.jpg" <------- this is the large image I want to open in a new windows
>
</photo>
thanks!!

Actually, the site is for my friend and she really likes this Gallery: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/demos/gallery/index-air.html
I just want to keep this one and just edit it, so when I click on the image it opens the large image...
