How do I get firefox to stop telling me it stopped the web site I am on from opening a new window even though it has gone to the next page I have clicked on?

This happens even on my banking sites and bill pay sites. The little bar comes down at the top of the page. Gives me the option of allow, when I right click it does not do anything. I have to click the x or allow to make it go away.

See:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
The setting in "Tools > Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.

How do I get Firefox 5 to work with FAFSA data entry web site @ed.gov which only allows Firefox 3.6 or earlier?

Site blocks usage of Firefox 4 and Firefox 5. Is there a way to get Firefox 5 to tell the site I'm using Firefox 3.6? Can I use a portable version of Firefox 3.6 without scrambling Firefox 5 (I don't like this option because there isn't an official portable version, but it's probably better than IE.)?
BTW, this is a fundamental customer (as opposed to enterprise) support issue being created by the new release schedule. It doesn't matter how good Firefox is if I can't use it.

Yes, use Firefox Portable for that website. <br />

I doubt is this is an issue with the Fast Release schedule, more like an issue with a website that is incorrectly screening the user agent of the browsers being used, or with a website that hasn't been updated for a browser that was released over three months ago.

FF Less stable than IE. Numerous crashes, the latest quirk is that it will open a new window with a website already working on and NONE of the iterations of FF work. Have to reboot computer because can't even exit FF. Fix it or on to Chrome.

'''''"a new FF iteration"'''''
No such thing. All Firefox windows and tabs run in a single '''firefox.exe''' process, unlike IE which has a separate process for each window, or Chrome which opens a new process for each tab.
As far as the Firefox SafeMode, you can't open it when Firefox is running ''(unless you open a separate Profile purposely)'', if you try all you will get is another window in the "regular mode".
You're not going to be able to discover the cause of your problem if you're unwilling to follow established troubleshooting procedures, regardless of how intermittent the fault occurs. I wouldn't be surprised of you have an add-on installed which is causing that problem.
Another course of action would be to create a new Profile, which is like starting from scratch with a completely new Firefox installation. <br />

When I open a new window, it doesn't attach itself to the bottom toolbar? I'm using XP Pro and Firefox 6.0.2.

It's explained pretty well in my initial question. Not sure what else you would need in the way of details.
I will say it's been going on for a month or so, and it happens every time I start Firefox, and every time I open a new window.

Thank you for taking the time to leave an answer for me, Poochie1. I really appreciate your attempt at helping me.
Unfortunately, as smart as I thought I was when I asked the question, I apparently wasn't that smart, because I didn't explain my problem so you'd know what the heck I was talking about.
I think it's because I'm probably not using the correct terminology. I'll try again.
When I open a new window, it just kind of floats on the screen. Before this new update, I could open a window and it was lined up with the start taskbar located at the bottom of the screen. Sometimes the new window will cover up the taskbar partially, and sometimes completely. I have to move it up and align it with the taskbar. Then, when I open another new window, I have to line that one up with the window underneath it.
I hope that description is better than my first one, and I hope you can make some sense out of it, Poochi (and anyone else who happens by here).
Again, thank you for your help.

Since installing the latest version... when I open a new window it opens everything I have minimized too... very annoying. How can I fix this, I mimimize to go back to a window not have multiple windows open.

Well, then isn't there some way to induce Firefox to give Windows parameters that make it open the fershlugginer window in the *same* position, instead of an offset position?

I followed the instructions on the Web site to uninstall Photo shop elements 12 in windows 8.1 and when I did as it said there was no box to tick for deactivation so I carried on.. How do I go about reinstalling on another computer

I followed the instructions on the Web site to uninstall Photo shop elements 12 in windows 8.1 and when I did as it said there was no box to tick for deactivation so I carried on.. Can I just go ahead and install on another computer ?

I don't know what instructions you may have followed, but as long as you "signed out" , then you will be fine.

How do I stop Firefox from opening a new window when I go to a search item?

When I do a search, and click on a topic, Firefox opens a new window on the tool bar at the bottom of my screen. How can I stop this from happening?

I'm guessing you use Google for search. There is a setting in Google search to open each result in a new window. (When you use tabbed browsing, that means each result opens in a new tab.) You can check on whether you have that setting turned on as follows:
On a Google results page, click the button on the right side with the "gear" icon, then click Search Settings from the drop-down list. At the bottom of the page is the setting to open results in a new window.
Is that the culprit?

How do I get a close up of an image for my web site

How do I get a close up of an image for my web site

You need to resize the image. Note that as you increase its size, it may become pixellated.
The zoom feature just increase magnification for viewing on the monitor.
If you are so inclined, post your picture for additional suggestions.

Tabs opening as new windows even when I click open in a new tab

All of a sudden links that normally opened as new tabs are now opening as new windows. Even when I specifically say open as a new tab it still opens as a new window. I have checked the settings in the tab option so it should be opening them as new tabs. it is highly frustrating!

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

How do I disable finder from opening a new window upon mount?

When an external drive is mounted (such as an iPod in disk mode) Finder opens a new window showing the root of the new drive.
I realise why this happens, but is there any way of disabling this feature?.
Cheers,
Ebsy

It seems that there is a special flag that can be set or cleared on the volume to control that behavior. There is an Apple developer article about it, with source code, that might help.
http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2005/qa1449.html
I have to believe that someone has packaged up that code into a utility that can be found.

How can I get Firefox to connect to websites that are not Google sites?

This evening Firefox would not connect to my homepage (BBC) or anything in my bookmarks I tried. However, It would connect to anything Google (eg maps, mail etc), and run searches, but would not connect to any sites listed as the results of these searches.
I contacted my internet supplier, who ran various tests, including emptying history, cache/cookies and resetting to default values of Firefox. But nothing solved my problem. It was fine this morning and showed no problems of this type before. I have the latest version of Firefox. My machine is Windows XP, I have the latest IE that can still be loaded - that won't even connect to Google to search, (but perhaps it is unable to because it is too old?)
A couple of months back I had the computer cleaned/tuned, they replaced mcafee with Avast, but I had no problems accessing different websites. I still only run the free version of this. I cannot work out how to access its firewall settings.
So the problem seems to be that the only sites I can access at all Google sites via Firefox...and Mozilla. I know Google is kind of ubiquitous but how I can't imagine how settings could suddenly become altered to be so specific!

Strange problem.
Did you try to start your computer in "safe mode", to see if the problem is still there ?
Who replaced your antivirus and cleaned your computer ? Can they help you ?
For the moment, I see 3 hypothesis :
- a problem of DNS : do you know what it is and where to check them ?
- a problem of Firewall : do you know how to manage the settings of your's one ?
- a problem of security : do you know how to check if there are malwares installed on your computer ? You should do this before any other solutions anyway.
If it doesnt' work, try to install Google Chrome, to see if this browser can go on other websites. If yes, it is time to uninstall/reinstall Firefox.

How to Stop the Iview from Opening a New Window automatically

Hi
I have imported a BW roles that has 3 folders for different reports into the portal.
I would like the reports to display in a new window and have set the paramater "Launch in New Window" = "Display in New Window".
I have also set the parameter "Initial State Open or Closed" = "Close".
When I click on one of the tabs (represented by the role folder) the first report automatically opens in a new window.
I would only like this report to open when the user clicks on the report in the folder. Can anyone advise on any other setting that needs to be made?
Many thanks....

Yes, the the Default Entry for Folder property is set to NO.
The first report in the folder still automatically launches a new window for the report.
There does not appear to be a setting "Clicking Folder Name Launches First Node" for the folder.
As a workaround I have created a page and added the following 2 settings.
1. Invisible in Navigation Areas = Yes.
2. Default entry for folder = Yes.
I would prefer to avoid this workaround so if anyone can provide any help it would be appreciated.
Thanks
Ian

After home sharing my pc and my ipad2 I still have no access to my songs from my iTunes on pc even though I signed in with the same ID on my pad2.what is the operator error I make?

I tried to find it out myself but even though apple is quite idiot proof I still manage my way around it.:-)
Found my apple IDs, my passwords, my voucher I thought I'd lost but to get my iTunes songs I have on my old pc onto my ipad2 I need a degree!
It seems that even though I clicked on home sharing and connected the device to the pc that nothing gets transferred.:-(
It gets better, I actually bought a MacBook air but my pc doesn't recognise the hardrive which I'd like to use for important files to transfer to my mac.
Now I have a knackered pc a pretty but empty mac no music on it but probably one click away!
Oh, did I mention that I have a kindle device but don't seem to be able to connect it to my iPad?
I know latest now you are laughing and suggesting to get rid of my technology and be better of living without any electricity to prevent me from injuries.
That's nice of you but doesn't help me as stubborn as I am.
I guess if you won't help me I will find out eventually!
But if you dare, please try and help me!:-)

I have an Apple ID that I use for itunes. I am trying to set up my icloud account. I have gone thru the steps to "set up" the icloud account. It only has me download the icloud control panel, then I'm supposed to sign into icloud, but then it tells me that I don't have an icloud account. I have looked all over the support area and it doesn't tell me how to get passed this problem. Any suggestions?
