How do I open the new (orange) Firefox menu via the keyboard?

Its not listed in the keyboard shortcuts page!
That page also includes Alt-F10, which no longer does anything.

Tap '''ALT''' key or press '''F10''' key to temporarily show the Menu bar

  • 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")

  • 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!

  • My Firefox 5.0 doesn't have the new orange Firefox drop down menu (on the top left)

    I just upgraded to 5.0 and the new drop down menu that's supposed to be on the top left side isn't there. Do I have to enable it or is something else wrong?

    You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden, so you need to hide the Menu bar via View > Toolbars, also accessible via Firefox > Options.<br />
    If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily.<br />
    You can place the Tab Bar on top.

  • How do I open a new tab? None of the options work for me.

    I've tried:
    1. Clicking the "+" icon next to my current tab
    2. Going to "File -> New Tab"
    3. Using the "Ctrl - T" keyboard shortcut
    4. Restarting Firefox
    5. Restarting my computer (Windows 7 laptop)
    6. Downloading all possible updates -> Restarting my computer
    ... Opening a link on the current web page DOES work...

    The Ask Toolbar has been causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.
    There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
    * Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
    * Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

  • How do I open a new window in safari on the iPad?

    How do I open multiple windows in safari using the new iOS7 on my iPad? It looks different than my iphone5

    Try a reset then try Safari ...
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    No data is lost due to a reset.

  • In Safari on a MacBook Pro, how do you open a new blank tab while leaving the site you were on still on another tab?

    This is my first Mac computer, and this may be a silly question, but I can't find the answer anywhere else. Anyway, is there a way to open a new tab that's blank? Like in iPhones, you can click new page, and a blank page opens up. Anyway that's possible on Macs? Or do I just need to download Chrome?

    A new tab can be obtained with command-t, or via the File menu, or with the + sign at the end of the tabs, or.... 
    What happens when a new tab is opened is determined via Safari > Preferences > General.
    You will want to select "Empty page" under "New tabs open with".

  • I downloaded FF4 and when it opened it doesn't show the new Single Firefox button in the upper left hand corner. I still have the traditional Windows buttons.

    This is on a Windows 7 machine. I like the new layout and it shows up on my Windows Vista laptop at home. Would just like to have the new layout.

    To get it you need to hide the menu bar. To do that in the View menu select Toolbars, then click on the "Menu Bar" entry.
    If you need access to the menus you can press either Alt or F10 to temporarily display them.

  • In Firefox 5, when I open a new tab, Firefox doesn't switch to it immediately (unlike previous versions). How can I restore this setting?

    When opening a new tab Firefox stays on the old tab and doesn't switch to the new one. I couldn't fing where to fix this (in the tools)

    Just found out that FoxTab 1.4.2b is causing this problem. Solution? Disable it.

  • How do i open a new tab in firefox 6.01? the + symbol has disappeared

    how do open a new tab in firefox 6.01? the + symbol has disappeared - the tab grouping stuff is not intuitive

    You can find the New Tab button showing as a '+' on the Tab bar.
    You can open the Customize window and drag the New Tab button that shows as a plus sign (+) from the Tab bar on another toolbar and it will become a regular toolbar button like the New Tab button that you have in Firefox 3 versions.
    If you can't find the New Tab button then click the "Restore Default Set" button in the Customize window.<br />
    If you want the New Tab button at the far right end of the Tab bar then place a flexible space to the left of it.
    Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"

  • I've lost the orange firefox tab with the arrow, that was in the top left corner: how do I get it back?

    I've lost the orange firefox tab with the arrow, that was in the top left corner: how do I get it back?

    In current Firefox releases (29 and later), that have have the Australis user interface, the orange Firefox menu button has been replaced by the three-bar Firefox Menu button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar and this button is always visible, whether you have the menu bar visible or hidden<br>A consequence of this location is that you no longer can hide the Navigation Toolbar
    *There is a star like button to the right end of the search bar on the Navigation Toolbar to bookmark the current web page and a "Show your bookmarks" button next to it to open the Bookmarks in a drop down menu.<br>You can find "Show All Bookmarks" to open the Bookmarks Manager (Library) at the bottom of this drop-down list
    *It is still possible to have the menu bar visible via the right-click context menu on the toolbars to have menus like the Bookmarks menu
    *<br>*If you bookmark a page then "Bookmark This Page" in the Bookmarks menu changes to "Edit This Bookmark"

    Never used it myself, so I'm not sure if you can set to about:home or not. You'll have to give it a try.

  • In the previous version of Firefox you would open a new tab by clicking on the small "Open New Tab" button at the Right Hand Side of the Tabs. This button has now disappeared in my upgrade.

    I just installed Firefox 4. In the previous version you would open a new tab by clicking on the small "Open New Tab" button at the Right Hand Side of the Tabs. This button has now disappeared in my upgrade. Firefox help still says you can open a new Tab by using the "Open New Tab" Button so how do I get it back??

    I got it back by going to "customize toolbar" and hitting "restore default set"! Now there is a small tab next to my open tabs with a "+" on it.

  • I am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier

    i am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier photo please help me to recover my photos

    Well I'll guess you're using iPhoto 11:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
