I can no longer open a 2nd window in firefox. How do I get this feature back?

When I right click a link & ask to open it in a 2nd window, it doesn't work. I can open a new tab. But I can't drag the tab & create a 2nd window that way either. I also click on the firefox icon & ask for a 2nd window but that doesn't work.

Hello coolou7, '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
thank you

After switching to version 4 I can no longer save and quit upon exit. How do I get this feture to work in version 4?

I have a Dell laptop running Windows XP version 5.1 service pack 3. I downloaded Firefox version 4 and I no longer get an option to save and quit upon exit. How do I restore this feature?

One change in Firefox 4 is to by default stop Firefox displaying the warning message, but it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
# Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''

I use FF 3.6.18 and don't want to upgrade. I used to be able to click on a PDF link and FF would ask ne if I wanted to view or download. I clicked something in the download window and now I don't get the View option. How do I get this feature back?

I can't find an option to open or view the document first instead of automatically downloading it to my computer

I can only go back one page at a time because the drop-down jump back multiple pages feature is missing; how do I get this feature back?

On Firefox 3.6 the back and forward buttons also had a drop-down menu to enable me to jump back to one of the last, say, 10 pages I had viewed rather than only go back one at a time. Also, the reload button appears to be missing and I can't figure out how to bring these back. Otherwise, an awesome upgrade; thanks for all your hard work on this fantastic product.

You can right-click either Back or Forward button to open the tab history list.

I cannot print 1200dpi with my 5000GN and windows 7, 64 bit. How do I get this feature back?

I've downloaded and installed the latest PCL 6 print driver (Dec2011). It works fine, but still does not give me the printer setup options I used to get in Win XP.
There used to be photoRET, 1200dpi resolution, etc.
Now I only get 600dpi.
I do see the extra print tray 3, and though it has B paper it said it was letter. I was able to change it manually to B. It also shows the duplexer present.
The PCL 5 driver installed by windows also does not give other dpi options.
Win 7 Ult, x64 all updated.
The printer is on the local Ethernet.
Thanks

my PC crashed, so i reinstalled windows and itunes. how do i get my music back?

If the music was purchased from iTunes you can redownload it for free (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519). If not you will either have to re-import all your music to rebuild your library, or purchase 3rd party software that can transfer it from your phone to iTunes such as Touch Copy.

Oh my, that's bad. I've never heard of one of those popups coming back after quitting or force quitting the browser. Try emptying the cache and cookies as well as the history.
Thomas, some of its components have been identified in this thread, but no one there has done a thorough search.

Since I don't have it, I can't really be certain where all its crap is located.
It even looks like it's trying to suck worried people in from a Google search.
"As it seams..." Sounds like some badly learned English in Eastern Europe.

I purchased a song almost two years ago and the song is no longer present in my library, but it is listed on itunes store as purchased. How do I get this song back?

@caragam, if the songs are no longer in your purchase history it means either they have been hidden or the original items are no longer available for sale on the iTunes Store or you are logged into the store with a different Apple ID.
To see if they have been hidden in iTunes pull down Store > View my AppleID. Enter your password when prompted. In the middle of the screen, click "view hidden purchases." See if the purchased items are here. If they are unhide them and go back to your purchase history and re-download them.
If the purchases are not hidden and you do not have a backup then the songs are gone and there is no way to recover them. This is why we keep backups.
If you used a different Apple ID to purchase the song, log out of the store and log in with the appropriate Apple ID and download the song. Be aware this could trigger a 90 day lock out of the other store account so make sure you really, really want that song.

Can no longer open my Compuserve email with Firefox

As of 4 days ago I can no longer open my emails on my laptop. Compuserve helped change my internet explorer settings, disconnect my McAfee firewall, and allow all cookies. They advised the problem was that something in Mozilla was blocking the complete download of my email page. I installed Firefox 4, but that didn't seem to help. What next?

When using Preferences to change the email to Xfinity Lite you loose certain valuable features available in the full verfsiion. This may work for some but I enjoy attaching photos in some emails and having them show in he message boz along with a message. It's a shame that two multi-national companys can't get their act straight. Comcast blames Firefox, Firefox blames Concast. In the meantime users are forced to use Internet Explorer. I hate this kind of stupidity. Millions of consumers are inconvenienced. I suspect that Microsoft and Comcast are schemeing in this matter.

I just updated to 4.0.1 and I get the "We're sorry. Firefox had a problem and crashed. We will try to open your tabs/windows when Firefox restarts" However, it just keeps popping back up, firefox never restarts!!!

This morning I had a popup on my Windows XP PC stating that the 4.0.1 update was available. I upgraded. now, i receive the following error: We're sorry. Firefox had a problem and crashed. We will try to open your tabs/windows when Firefox restarts. You can submit crash report data, blah blah blah (which i have submitted several)
But, firefox DOES NOT ever open. It just pops back up with that same report window, over and over.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

Window opens behind another window with sound how do i stop this.

When I open a window, another window will open behind it with sound. Mostly some add witch I then open that page and close. How do you stop this unwanted pages from opening?

I assume we are talking about Safari? If so goto Safari > Preferences > Security. Make sure Block pop-up windows is checked.
Also uncheck Enable Java. I have had problems with pop-under windows and this has prevented them. If you have a site that requires Java you can always re-enable it.
