How do I get Firefox to open on both of my monitors in separate windows with different start pages (my stock portfolio on one monitor, google on another) on Mac?

I want to be able to set the homepage for Firefox so that it will open in two windows (one on both of my monitors) with two separate pages (one monitor opens with Page A, the other monitor opens with Page B)

Exactly what Bob Levine said. Can confirm, running a two monitor display here.

    Firefox can have multiple home pages if you wish. Each home page that will open when starting Firefox is separated by the "|" character.
    See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
    To have new tabs open a specific web site, add one of the following extensions:

  • How do I get firefox to open pdf files with Adobe reader instead of google?

    Firefox is unsucessfully using google to open pdf files.  How do I get firefox to open pdf files with Adobe reader?
    Message was edited by: veeryTalonted

    "Google" is a search engine (website) and NOT (repeat: NOT) a PDF viewer. It can't and won't open PDFs in any real or imaginable way.
    Firefox added their own proprietary PDF viewer with version 20 - they're on 21 now. I'll be the first to admit "it sucks". You CAN'T fill in PDF forms with it, and you can't email them from the page like with Opera, Safari or Chrome (which use the reader plug-in still).
    Unfortunately, the ONLY option you have now that they've added it and killed the ability for the Reader plug-in to work with Firefox, is Tools>Options>Applications - select Portable Document Format(PDF) and choose "Use Adobe Reader (Default)". What that will do is FORCE Firefox to download the PDF instead of opening it in their terrible PDF viewer in the browser window.
    Or... use one of the other browsers I mentioned. They're all free.

  • In my received emails, how can I get Firefox to open URL links that begin with "click."?

    In my emails, how can I get Firefox to open links that begin with the word "click."? Instead of giving the me the message that says, for example, "Firefox can't find the server at click.americas.links.hp.com." This also happens when I try to open the links using Explorer.

    This link was not valid when I clicked it. Please contact the person sending these links they do not seem to work. The page takes me to a page that says it will load after 5 seconds, however there is not valid link.

    Hi Tgordineer,
    This sounds like a known issue reported here:
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=713014
    There was a workaround posted, but I've not tested it myself. Here are the steps.
    # Go into Yahoo Messenger Options - Change the Window in the dropdown to Tab and press OK.
    # Then go back and switch it to small window and press OK.
    Once the bug is officially resolved, you could try running a Nightly or Aurora build to use the fix early.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • How do I get firefox to open a new window when i click on a link in a webpage ?

    When I click on a link in a webpage in Firefox, generally it opens the new page in the window i am in (though some times it does not). How do I get it to open a new window (or tab) each time I click a link.
    For example, on www.bbc.co.uk if I click on a link, the new page opens in the same window, if I then click another link in the new window, again, it opens in the same window. To get back to the original window, I have to use the back button twice. Surely there is a setting so that all 3 windows can be open on separate tabs or separate windows.
    I have been to the tabs window in options, but doesn't seem to make a difference.

    Open link/bookmark in new tab in same window:
    *Middle-click (press the mouse scroll wheel) the link
    *Ctrl+left click the link
    *right-click the link, choose "Open Link in New Tab"
    Open link/bookmark in new window:
    * Shift+Enter on the link
    * Shift+left click on the link

  • How can I get Firefox to open automatically each time I turn on computer?

    How to get Firefox to open automatically each time I turn on computer.

    You can place a shortcut to the Firefox program in the Startup folder in "Start > Programs" by dragging the Firefox shortcut from the desktop or by dragging the Firefox entry in "Start > Programs > Mozilla Firefox" to that folder (or use Copy/Paste to achieve this).

  • How do I get Firefox to open when I dial up to connect to the internet, instead of internet explorer for the internet service provider?

    I have a dial up connection for the internet through Netzero.com, and when I click on it to dial up to the internet, it brings up the Netzero home page on Internet Explorer. I've changed my default home page from Internet Explorer, to Firefox, but when the internet is connected, Internet Explorer is the one that brings up the Netzero home page, not Firefox, so I have to click on the icon for Firefox, and then it opens, with Netzero home page on it, so I have to go through 2 different processes to get to use Firefox. I downloaded Firefox because it's suppose to be faster that Internet Explorer, especially since Internet Explorer keeps not responding when I'm in the middle of doing something. So I thought I'd try Firefox, but it doesn't seem to be faster than Internet Explorer, since the ISP that I have has a web accelerator, but it doesn't work on Firefox for some reason, I can see on a meter on my desktop when it's accelerating, and Firefox doesn't accelerate ever, if I change over to Internet Explorer, I can see the meter accelerating the web page. Hope you can help me with this problem, as I like Firefox. Thank you very much.

    Try changing firefox to the default browser: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Setting_Your_Default_Browser]. That will probably get firefox to open when you dial up.
    I'm not sure what you mean by "the meter accelerating the web page". Can you explain that?
    Thank you

  • How can I get firefox to open a powerpoint online instead of downloading it ?

    Whenever I save a powerpoint presentation from a web page, it automatically downloads on my mac. How do I get it to open the powerpoint instead of downloading it?

    Make sure that the file has the .html file extension.
    That should be sufficient.
    Windows hides some file extensions by default.
    Among them are .html and .ini and .js and .txt, so you may only see file name without file extension.
    You can see the real file type (file extension) in the properties of the file via the right-click context menu in Windows Explorer.

  • I,m using Firefox 7.0.1. I upgraded AVG to 2012.0.1831 Now when I open a new tab it opens to "AVG secure search" How do I get Firefox to open a new tab to a blank page?

    I'm running Firefox 7.0.1 on Windows 7

    This is not a problem but it irritates me
    How do I get a new tab to open to a blank page?

    You can look at one of these extensions:

  • How do I get Firefox to open from a closed state when I click on a URL sent in an email or posted in a chat forum?

    When Firefox is off and I click on a URL link, Firefox does not start up and open at the URL link. When Firefox is on and I click on a link, then Firefox will start (open) another tab for the URL link. Firefox should open the link regardless of it's on/off state. Windows IE does this and I would expect Firefox to also do this.
    Also, related to this is the fact that if I am at a website in Firefox and need to print out a PDF document shown on the website, I can't do this unless I first open/start Adobe. Adobe should automatically start as soon as I try to open the PDF document; again, IE does this.

    Cor-el,
    Thank you for the response. I’ve already selected Adobe Reader in Firefox as the viewer for PDF documents based on the response I got earlier from the-edmeister. Firefox will still not open a PDF document from a website when viewing the website in Firefox.
    As far as changing anything in a dot config file – I’ll pass. I’ve been a Windows IE user for more years than I can remember. I’ve been told by many other folks that Firefox is a better browser platform for several years. Based on that, I assumed that Firefox will do everything that IE will do as good as or better than IE. I’m not opposed to making some application based selections to get Firefox to work, but I was expecting a fully functional plug & play application. Changing settings in dot config files is not my idea of plug & play.
    I printed out the instructions from the link you supplied (https://support.mozilla.org/kb/view-pdf-files-firefox-without-downloading-them) and will give that a shot later today. In the mean time, I’ve already redone the default browser setting and temporarily set IE as the default browser.

  • How can I get firefox to open multiple tabs on startup?

    I want to upto six or seven tabs to open automatically when I launch firefox. When I look at the options tab it only gives me a prompt to enter one home page not multiple.

    The easiest way to set up home pages is to have the page that you want all open in the tabs bar and then continue as before but with "Use current pages" as your choice (button).
