How do I open a new window (cmd + N) on the current page (url) NOT my homepage?

Before I updated to firefox 28, I was able to hit cmd + N and it would open a new window with the exact same webpage I was on. Now it opens a new window with my homepage. I'm assuming I had an add-on or extension, but I am desperate to be able to do this again. Ideas?

This is an oversight by the developers of the latest FireFox revision: a great shame, as the overall feel of the browser has patently been improved.
Xabolcs has come up with a nice fudging idea; if it were to work; but sadly it doesn't for me....
As mentioned by MGprof, the latest version of FireFox (May'14) now opens one's "homepage" instead of a new blank window.
As my "homepage" is almost a dozen tabs; this is worse than useless. It's like starting FireFox again; and then having to close a whole string of unwanted tabs!
To compound my frustration, the "move to a new window" option disappeared on another recent FireFox "upgrade"; but I managed to get round that by copying an url from a tab, then opening a new blank window, to paste the url into.
So, is there any possible way to open a new window in this latest version of FireFox?
I just want to be able to open a new FireFox window; and I'd be happy with it being either blank, or duplicating the url of a currently-showing tab.
This would allow view of one trimmed-size webpage in front of another one, showing in a selected tab in my normal-use multi-tab window: useful when comparing complex images, for example.
I have just installed the above-recommended "duplicate-2-window"; but can't make it work for me.
I've assumed "no-restart-necessary" claim is correct; but using cntrl+N, I now get a new blank TAB!
I'll try rebooting next, and post here again if that improves the situation; but don't hold your breath!
Meanwhile, if the developers are watching out for feedback..................................... please sort this, by putting back the "open a new window" option: I do NOT want to have to use Gugl-Krohm!

I would prefer that the "Home" icon on the Navigation Toolbar open a new tab instead of replacing the current tab with the home page. Is there any way to accomplish this?
Thank you.

If you middle-click on the home icon it will open a new tab containing the home page.

Finder opens a new window with tabs in the last closed window loaded automatically

As the title says, I've found this happens more than a few times for some change. Maybe every time, I didn't count. Say, I closed a window with 3 tabs opened, then next time when I click finder to open a new window, I will find the 3 tabs loaded in the new window automatically. I am wondering if it is a new feature or bug. If it is not right, would anyone give me some suggestion to correct, if possible? Thanks.

Yup. I think bring convenience or not is supposed to be the fundamental difference bugs and features.
Convenience also comes with users' habit. I am sure I will get used to the new way as time goes by.

How to get the current page URL

HI All
I am working in oracle apps 4.0
I have one page called history in that i have one page item called Application url. My application id is 122 but its a copy of application 106
How to get the current page url for the page item.
Any steps should be help ful
Thanks & Regards
Srikkanth.M

I'm not 100% clear on what the requirement is from the description, however it does sound like you are making things unnecessarily complicated.
If you want permanent/ID-independent links then use application and page aliases.
so here we used to display the url like this: <tt>{noformat}http://81.131.254.171:8080/apex/f?p=122{noformat}</tt>
Do you mean that the URL is displayed like that? If so that doesn't seem particularly helpful. How is anyone supposed to know what it is?
There are many ways to provide links in APEX—including lists and nav bars.
Where the link is to another resource located on the same server (such as another page in the same app, or a different app in the workspace), relative addressing can be used, making it unecessary to include scheme, domain and port information in the URL. For example, if the page to be linked to has a page alias <tt>ABOUT</tt> in an application with alias <tt>UNITY</tt>, and the apps share an authentication scheme/cookie to permit shared sessions, then the link URL is simply
f?p=UNITY:ABOUT:&APP_SESSION.

How do I open a new window in Adobe Acrobat using the plugin sdk

I would like to create a new menu item that when clicked it will open a new window (e.g. winform). What I'd like to do is pull data from a server and interact with the user in that window. Basically show the user a list of PDF files to pull from the server. Once the user is done selecting which file to pull to have the file pulled from the server into the local drive and have it opened in Adobe Acrobat. The problem I'm having is that I don't know how to invoke a winform or something like it to place my lists of files and UI controls. I've looked at the samples in the SDK and don't see anything that deals with this particular issue. I'm a newbie so I'm sure I'm missing something here. I tried creating a new WinForm in a sample example and ran into errors and the form is not functioning. Any help is much appreciated.

Thank you Dan_Korn,
This suggestion is very helpful. I like the idea of creating the new functionality in the language/environment of my choice and simply call it from the plugin. The only issue I have is that when I start the other gui app from within the plugin I don't know how to communicate with it. I would like to do these things with it:
1. For the spawned off app to be able to tell Adobe Acrobat to open a file in a certain location.
2. For the spawned off app to exit if Adobe Acrobat is closed.
3. Also if the spawned off app closes for the handles to it to be desposed of and cleaned up to avoid leaks.
Any ideas on the easiest approach to the above behaviors?
Here's my code so far in the plugin:
void StartApp1()
          STARTUPINFO info={sizeof(info)};
          PROCESS_INFORMATION processInfo;
          if (CreateProcess(NULL , "myexe.exe", NULL, NULL, TRUE, 0, NULL, NULL, &info, &processInfo))
                    ::WaitForSingleObject(processInfo.hProcess, 0);
                    CloseHandle(processInfo.hProcess);
                    CloseHandle(processInfo.hThread);
          else {
                         AVAlertNote("Couldn't luanch the exe");

How do i open a new window? serial communication problem

Hello Nandha,
SubVI's can be created by selecting the part that you want in the subVI and than select "create subVI" from the "Edit" menu.
Or cut the selected part and open a new VI and paste in the code. Then you have to connect all the controls and indicators to your connector pane. To do this right click the icon in the upper right corner and "Show connector". Select a pattern that has enough connectors, my personal favorite is the 4x4x4. Select the wire tool and select a connector and then the control or indicator you want to connect. Try to keep controls to the left and indicator to the right.
Now you have to figure out when you want to show the settings window. Is it necessary that the communication goes on during manipulation of the settings?
Kind regards,
André

How do I Open a New Window to the Same URL?

When I click CTRL-N to open a new WINDOW, is there a way to have that new window open to the SAME URL as the one I was on (instead of opening to my Home Page)?

Hi jpeg,
Not exactly what you want but it may help.
You can right click a link or middle click it to open in a new tab, so that is an indirect method of duplicating a tab.
*[[Keyboard shortcuts - Perform common Firefox tasks quickly]]
*[[Use mouse shortcuts to perform common tasks in Firefox]]
A more direct method is to drag a tab with a Ctrl + Left Click
Alt+Enter creates a new tab from the search or address bar.
It is possible to customise the newtab page. It is even possible to set it to any chosen URL, but I am not aware of a method of setting it a dynamic tab in current focus, which is what you may wish for.

Open a new window, draw boxes in the window, and communicate between the two windows

I'm going to research this, but figured I'd jump start here in case someone can give me a quick link or point me in the right direction on how to do this while I'm looking. This is an area of Flex I haven't hit on yet.
Basically I need to have my flex app (AIR Application) open a new window, allow the user to draw a box on that new window, and then pass the info of the box (X and Y, Width and Height) back to the main window.
I've never done any of that and am going to try to find out how, but if someone could point me here before I find it online, that would help a great deal, kind of in a time crunch.... thanks.

You can open the new window as a TitleWindow popup. You can pass info back to the main app using mx.core.Application.application.
In main app:
public var windowInfo:Object;
In popup:
import mx.core.Application.application;
private var app:Object = mx.core.Application.application;
app.windowInfo.x = this.x;
app.windowInfo.y = this.y;
app.windowInfo.otherOne = this.otherProp;
Looking ahead, it is best to pass information between the main app and components using custom components. Below systemManager, popups and the main app are in different display lists, so add event listeners for custom events to systemManager. My Flex Cookbook post on custom events shows this:

Everytime I open a new tab, Firefox automatically refreshes the currently open ones.

When I attempt to open a new tab, Firefox automatically refreshes the already opened and loaded websites in other tabs.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
