How do I switch to another window in Firefox for Mac?

I often have multiple Firefox windows open. Does Firefox or Mac OS X provide a way to switch among windows?
Normally I can switch from one window to another by Command-Tab, but when I have multiple Windows open for one application (such as Firefox), I only see the Firefox icon once, and so I only have the option to open one of the windows.
(In Windows XP, the corresponding operation (Alt-Tab) shows the multiple Firefox windows separately. But under OS X I see only one.)
Thanks for any help.

Try Command+` (that is the back tick and is the same key as the ~ tilde, just above the tab key).

    How do I download a previous version of firefox for mac osx 10.5.8 (leopard)?

    Beginning with Firefox 4, Macs must have an Intel x86 processor (which you do NOT have; yours is a PPC Mac) '''''<u>and</u>''''' OSX 10.5 or higher
    *System Requirements: [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/4.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 4]   [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/5.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 5] [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/6.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 6] [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/7.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 7] [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/8.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 8]
    '''''The good news''''' is that Firefox 3.6.24 still supports OSX 10.4 and Macs with the PPC Mac architecture. '''''The bad news''''' is that support for the Firefox 3.6.x series is likely to end in the first quarter of 2012.

    You can try the third-party product '''''TenFourFox''''' that supports PPC Macs. Firefox 8 version of '''''TenFourFox''''' is available. The product is based on Firefox released versions. All support is provided by the developer, not by this site:

  • How to prevent video playback from getting paused when switching to another tab on Firefox for Android?

    In Firefox for Android 27.0, if you play video in one tab and while it's playing you switch to another tab, the video gets paused. I want the video to continue to play while I'm viewing another tab (so I can at least hear its sound!).
    How can I do that?
    How can I prevent Firefox for Android from pausing video playback when switching to another tab?
    Thank you very much.

    Hi hamid_ss,
    Currently Firefox for Android does this by default with embedded players. Some sites go automatically to full screen too which may be what you are running into. Try it.

    Go to country/region in the popup window to change the store

  • When i open firefox, a window pops up saying i have either opened or closed another window in firefox even tho nothing else is opened... how can I get it to sto

    When I open Firefox, a window pops up saying I have either opened or closed another window in Firefox even tho I haven't and nothing else is opened. I have to close that window to continue. How canI get it to stop?

    Are you using the Default Theme? ''If not, switch to the Default Theme.''
    If it isn't a problem with a 3rd party Theme, try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most other Add-ons.''
    # You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    # Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

  • How can I switch between multiple windows of the same application (e.g. Safari) over several desktops ?

    Hi All,
    I have one application, for example safari, open and running with multiple windows (with or without tabs) spread over several desktops.
    How can I switch between the windows only via keyboard? CMD+> and CMD+< let me only swicht between windows open on the one desktop I am currently looking at.
    thanks for your replies,
    equi

    Barney,
    many thanks for your efforts and your time (preparing and posting the screenshot, answering to this question,...).
    Unfortunately, moving the focus to the next window only works with windows on the same desktop.
    btw, using a german keyboard layout and german language settings the shortcut is "cmd+<".
    I can switch with this shortcut between different windows of my Safari which reside on the same desktop, but I cannot swith between different safari windows distributed over several desktops.
    Thanks,
    equi    

  • How do I switch to another partitioned drive

    How do I switch to another partitioned drive?

    Am I missing something?
    Yes, the partition has to be bootable to be used as a startup partition. You would need to install OSX on the partition.
    Since you're not the original poster, you may be better served by starting your own post.

  • How do I share files from Windows Vista to a Mac with Lion OSX?

    How do I share files from Windows Vista to a Mac with Lion OSX?  I'm having SO much trouble with this!  Any help would be appreciated!!!

    In a finder window, under 'shared' you should be able to see the windows computer name, click on it and connect to it. I am assuming here you have sharing turned on and permissions granted on the windows computer.
    Will add a note though, I have frequently accessed files from a PC on the LAN using XP, not vista.

  • I just downloaded Firefox 5 and it said that my Yahoo toolbar will not work with it. Is this true? If so I will not use this new version and will switch to another browser if Firefox stops supporting the Yahoo toolbar. Thank you.

    I just downloaded Firefox 5 and it said that my Yahoo toolbar will not work with it. Is this true? If so I will not use this new version and will switch to another browser if Firefox stops supporting the Yahoo toolbar. Thank you.

    Add-ons contain a range of compatible Firefox versions, and Firefox honors the listed range by disabling the add-on if you are trying to run it on an unlisted version.
    I'm sure Yahoo! will update its toolbar eventually, but not every add-on maker supports beta versions of software.

    Yes, you probably have the tripple-click Home button option off.
    Just visit the Accessibility pane under General settings (as described by King_Penguin above) and choose to assign what you need for your tripple click command, in this case toggling the black & white option.
    You can also tell it to 'ask' you what you want from that command each time.
    Hope this helps.

    When I do understand your question: your Windows Live ID is a Microsoft-account, it is a Hotmail account like: @hotmail.com, @msn.com, @live.com etc.

    How do I switch my email account to cell for FaceTime and iMessages?

    I think you are asking how to use your phone number with FaceTime and Messages rather than an email address, but you must have an iPhone number not just any "cell" phone number.
    Take a look at this.
    iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage

    Select "export' while in Windoz/Outlook and cerate an export file, then while in MacOS/Outlook select "import" and select the same file to import. You can use a thumb drive to sneakernet the file.
