How to get links from other applications to open a new Firefox window

I have non-Web browser applications that want to open browser windows. I have Firefox as my default Web browser. When these other applications pass a URL to Windows, Windows passes the URL to Firefox. Unless there are no Firefox windows running, Firefox then opens the URL in a new tab of the most recently used Firefox window. I would prefer that Firefox open a completely new window. Where can I find the setting for this behavior?
Thank you,
Dan

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

When I click on an active link from another application, it opens the firefox application, but won't open open the page - it just opens Firefox or takes me to Firefox. No new tab or window is opened and the link is not displayed.

When I click on an active link from another application, it opens the firefox application, but won't open open the page - it just opens Firefox or takes me to Firefox. No new tab or window is opened and the link is not displayed.

Firefox sent an email to me to confirm that I had asked the above question. The email had a link to click. When I clicked it from Firefox, nothing happened. Then I opened IE, signed into Comcast, opened the email, clicked the link, and it brought me here.

Every time I click on a link from an email it opens two exact firefox browers.

Every time I click on a link from my emails it opens two exact firefox browers to that link. Not two tabs, two browers. How can I prevent this from happening.

How to get tabs into a column on left edge of Firefox window?

How to get tabs into a column on left edge of Firefox window?
I've looked extensively for the answer but haven't found it yet.

I found the Tree Style Tab ad-on does this.
Mike

Firefox does not open a new tab when you click the plus sign button which is actually a shortcut for opening a new tab. You have to open a new firefox window in order to get a new tab. Please help. Thanks.

I didn't have this problem before with Firefox. My kids must have pressed something or clicked on something that's the open new tab button does not function anymore. No matter how you click it, it doesn't open a new tab. Even if you click on file, then go to new tab, it still doesn't open a new tab. You have to open a new firefox window in order to do multiple browsing.
Hope you can help resolve this problem.
Sincerely,
Ems Guillarte

Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened. Checking your list of add-ons, the MyPlayCity toolbar is a version of the Ask toolbar.
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

Links in email program (Thunderbird) open in seperate Firefox window instead of one open

If Firefox is open and I click on a link in Thunderbird it opens in a new Firefox window without any of my tabs open. In Firefox I have selected open new windows in a new tab. The new window only has the one tab in it. (The link address) If Foxfire is closed it will open into the main window with all my other tabs. In order to have any links open into the main Foxfire, I have to close Foxfire after viewing each link.

Can´t open links from other applications, "Firefox no responde..."

When I try to do so, I get a pop-up saying firefox doesn´t respond ( In Spanish: "Firefox se está ejecutando, pero no responde. Para abrir una nueva ventana, primero debe cerrar el proceso Firefox existente, o reiniciar su sistema.")
I´ve already reset my profile , but the problem persists.
This is not the only problem I have with Firefox, also it frequently stalls for several seconds and Windows prints "(no responde)" in the window label.
Of course, if I set as default browser IE or Chrome, I don´t have any of this problems (just they aren´t as cool, but at least work :) ).

Hello  ,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
WARNING:Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device! See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]. 
Please report back to say if this helped you!
Thank you.

How to get songs from my old ipod to my new hard drive then to my new ipod?

Recently my computer crash and in order to fix it I had to get a new hard drive which means all my songs' files is gone! I had over 2,000! So I was wondering if there is a way in which I can take all the songs from my ipod and transfer it back to my computer now that it is fixed?? Also, my situation is a bit more complex because I am planning to get a newer ipod.
My old one is a ipod photo (I believe it is the 4th generation) and I am getting the 5th generation ipod video. Is there a way where I can transfer my songs from my old ipod back to my computer or itunes first then plug in my new one so it can update my old songs from my old ipod and my new songs' files in my computer all into my new ipod.
I reinstall itunes because I still use the program to listen to new songs that I have on my computer so I don't know if this information is useful or make things more confusing. I don't know if I should delete this version itune and reinstall the disk that comes with the ipod video? Or is it the same itunes version?
I really need help here I'm so confused on what to do and I am afraid of plugging my ipod in because it would update to my new song on my computer and delete all my old 2,000 songs from my ipod that I do not have backup files too because my old hard drive crash!
Any suggestions, advises, or comments are appreciate!

Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod.
The transfer of content sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
SharePod Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

How to get segments from a finished timeline onto a new project?

I'm trying to make a demo with about 5 different finished timelines. I just need a minute here and 20 seconds there and I'll be in good shape. How do you get selected clips from a master? Do the selected clips from the masters go into a new project library?

I got it. I just cut and paste from existing masters into a new project or is there an easier way?

How to set linked FM hyperlink parameters to open in new window?

I have a URL hyperlink style that is being pulled over correctly from FM without even any mapping to a new character style. However, the link opens within the Help window, and I want it to open in a new window.
I'm aware that you can click double click the link to bring up the Hyperlink dialogue box, then choose the "Display In" radial button option of "New Window." to get it to work how I want.
However, that would require a manual intervention for every link, and even if I did it, I don't think it would retain the tweak once I update the linked files.
The original FM style is a character one, not sure if that might impact the solution here. It can't easily be modified to another style is why I mention it, it's a default style in thousands of pages of documentation.
I see that there are some default "Hyperlink Styles" in the "Styles and Formatting" Pod. I tried to edit them and reverse engineer to get some ideas for a solution, but no such luck. I can't get any of these to apply as a style either, nothing happens when I try. I think I'm missing some part of how these work.
If anyone could point me in the right direction here, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

FredMcD,
I had already reset my Firefox which fixed my problem, but your reply was spot-on. I set the newtab value to about:blank, but the actual value that appears now in the address bar of the (blank) new page is "Search or enter address".
Another user told me to check for possibly suspicious programs that had been recently installed - but I found nothing. And nothing that mentioned Conduit
So I think all is well at this point. Thanks for your help.

How do get rid of "STARTPAGE24" when I open a new tab

When I start Firefox Google is my home page but when I open a new tab the page is"Startpage24. My antivirus does not like this and I want to get rid of STARTPAGE24. How do I do this.
Firefox is my default browser but If I am unable to do this I will be compelled to use another browser.
Thank you
PB

Startpage24 is a browser 3-rd party extension developed by Link64Gmbh . This might be installed due to '''express installation ''' of some of software,which cause to changes the startup page.
To remove this from your browser do like this :
Press '''A''' simultaneously while holding '''CTRL and SHIFT''' key(CTRL+SHIFT+A)from keyboard(You will be reached on Addons section). Now from plug-in(if not then search on extension) tab search it and remove it from there.
This will helps you to remove it completely from your browser. If you didn't found here this one then goto '''Control Panel''' in your computer > '''Programs ''' > '''Uninstall a program''' . from here uninstall it (look for any toolbar ) and follow next steps suggested by the uninstaller.
Again goto browser and open menu (right top side) > option > Startup >Hompage . Change it to other sites or use empty tab .
That's it.
