I can't double click to collapse firefox window into the dock

I'm running OS X with the newest Firefox (the Yahoo Edition.) Suddenly, double clicking in the top of the window no longer collapses it into the dock. I've tried repairing permissions and dumping the Firefox prefs to no avail. I just did a Firefox security update a few days ago and I'm wondering if that has anything to do the problem.

I have this problem too (Mac Firefox 21) but only when using a custom theme. When using the default Firefox appearance, I can still double-click to minimize Firefox to the dock. I wonder if all the other people who've complained of this problem were also using a custom theme?

  • How can I double tap to put a window in the dock in 10.10.1

    Greetings,
    I have a brand new late 2014 MacBook Pro Retina, 15".  I have used Macs all my life and I'm used to double 'tapping' (clicking) on the title bar to send a window to the dock.  This new machine only changes the size of the window with this movement.  I have to click on the yellow ball to send it to the dock.  Any ideas as to how I can change this?
    Also looking for a way to view iTunes as a list instead of all the icons spread out.  What happened to 'simple'.
    Thanks for listening.

    System Preferences > Dock  > Minimize windows using:
    Enable "Double-click a window's title bar to minimize".
    If you double-click an app’s title bar, and the app minimizes into the Dock, the “Double-click a window’s title bar to minimize” option is set in Dock preferences. To instead expand the app window, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Dock, then deselect “Double-click a window’s title bar to minimize.”

  • I'm using imovie 10.0.3 with OS x Version 10.9.2.  or some reason I can't double click on iphoto events to siadplay the pictures within that event. I've rebuilt my iphoto library, but nothing seems to work.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello All,
    Also no answer but am having the same problem.  All my catalogueing via folders is up in smoke and no external HDs (where I would normally directly store raw footage when importing) showing up on the iMovie interface.  It is a pain the arse to go back to the earlier version - why APPLE, pray tell, do you continue to lower expectations user-friendly functions. Shall try the option+open for a library but this too is extremely inconvenient if it works like iPhoto because you have to log out to log in to a new library whereas I just want to be able to see my multiple HDs directly from the iMovie menu and then the folders within folders I have layered in there - to make it easy to FIND STUFF. Wake up Apple, you are NOT meeting your customer's needs or desires.
    Thanks to the posters who are helping the rest of us lost in the dark with possible solutions - free fix-its for Apple which they don't deserve.

  • I can no longer click and drag Safari window to the other desktop.

    I've tried merging all windows and minimizing that single window, then going to the other desktop to open up the window.  That doesn't work--it just opens on the original desktop. 
    When double-clicking on the Safari icon in the dock, the options for desktop appear (none, this desktop, and all desktops).  By clicking on all desktops I am able to go to the other desktop and see my Safari window there, then I can change the option to none again. 
    This is not how it worked before.  I'm supposed to be able to click and drag the window to the other desktop. 
    Any ideas? 
    Update: 
    I pulled one Safari tab out to create a separate window, opened Mission Control, then clicked on the Safari window and dragged it to the small image of the other desktop. 
    The window stayed in the other desktop and now the function of dragging Safari windows to other desktops has returned.

    Thanks! I was having the same problem. This resolved it for me.

  • I have to "single-click" twice (not double click) to open an item in the Dock.

    Can someone confirm if this is Expected Behavior??   (OS = Mavericks)
    If you have Assigned an application in your Dock to a Desktop & Display in the application's Dock >> Options  (ex: Assigned To:  Desktop on Display 2):
    Click once on the application icon in the Dock, the application's Menu will populate on the top of your screen, but not the application itself (yet), click the application icon a second time, the application will now show too. 
    Docked Applications that do not have an Assigned To: Desktop & Display in the Dock options, you only need to single click.
    FYI:
    For odd Dock behaviors otherwise try this:
    You may have a corrupted Dock preferences file.
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist    (plist = preference list file)
    Click Go then move the com.apple.dock.plist file to the Trash, or move it to your Desktop.
    Restart your Mac and see if the behavior is resolved.  You will have re-configure your Dock settings.

    From where are you launching Mail? The only place, unless I've missed or forgotten something, you can launch an application with a single click is from the Dock. Is this what you're doing, or are you attempting to launch Mail from the Applications folder?

  • How can I add an icon for an application into the dock?

    I just installed an application that I will using often, but I cannot add it to the dock for some reason. I tried dragging it from the applications menu but that didn't work. How can I get it on the dock? Thanks in advance

  • Firefox hides into the dock when I open Word or Entourage. I need to view them together. What's causing this?

    When I activate Word and Entourage, Firefox scoots off the desktop. This just started happening and I don't know why. I want to have all 3 applications up on the screen at the same time.

    Just to make sure, Are you in full screen?

  • I can no longer create an event on iCal by double clicking on a time or date, nor can I double click on an existing event! HELP!

    I can no longer create an event on iCal by double clicking on a time or date, nor can I double click on an existing event! HELP!
    The only way I have to create an event is by using the "+" button, which is very limiting!
    I am running the latest version of Mac OS X and all the updates.
    Anyone know how I could get a proper use of my iCal ?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    If you list the steps you have taken to fix this it will help.
    Have you tried using the File > New Event menu item?
    Have you logged the user account out/ restarted the computer?
    Have you tried un-syncing any accounts synced to Calendar?
    Is there some change made to the computer that may have triggered this?
    Best wishes

  • Sometimes when I play songs in Itunes by double clicking on them, Itunes will place the song as the first one on the album.  It will chnage the order of the songs on the album, and I can not switch them back to the correct order.

    Sometimes when I play songs in Itunes by double clicking on them, Itunes will place the song as the first one on the album.  It will chnage the order of the songs on the album, and I can not switch them back to the correct order.  This onloy seems to happen when I double-click on the song to play it in itunes.  If I just hit play, this doesnt happen.  As a result, I have several albums now in which the songs are in the wrong order.  Its very frustrating, as this error then transfers over to my ipod every time I sync it.  When I choose the info. for the songs, it has them correctly listed (i.e., it lists the songs as being #1 of 19 on the CD, for example).  But then the song will have placed by Itunes as #5 of 19 for whatever reason.  Itunes does not do this every time, but does it with enough frequency to be maddening.  Any thoughts?

    The problem of tracks becoming de-linked between iTunes and the music files in your iTunes music folder happens for different reasons - this seems to come up fairly commonly in this forum.
    The solution can be to locate each song in the iTunes library, as you mentioned - or, but wait, before I get to that...
    trouble finding the original track in your iTunes music folder? maybe look for it under compilations, or if not using the 'group compilations preference' then look in the folder under the songs artist name, but what song artist name iTunes uses depends on what you have in the metedata tag spot for album artist or song artist. Any varyation in artist name spelling, in the menu item 'get info' metadata for any selected individual track will cause iTunes to create that as a separate artist folder in the library, even names like 'various' or any difference at all (even the word 'the' can change where in your iTunes music folder a track gets placed by iTunes). You can try to use the finder function of find file (finder munu item outside of iTunes) to locate hard to find items.
    Back to how to re-link any de-linked tracks .
    There may be scripts that can help re-link de-linked music files - or, at least provide you a list of such files, Scripts are easy to install and use...
    at Dougs Scripts, there is one called iTunes Track CPR that might work
    http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=itunestrackcpr
    or, if you just want a list of de-linked tracks, go to
    http://dougscripts.com/itunes/
    and find the script called List MIA's, this will create a text file listing all de-linked tracks

  • Can't double click and add event in month view. HELP!

    For some strange reason, I can't double click to addevent on Ical Monthly view all of a sudden. Whenever I double click, nothing happens. Same thing happens on the year view.
    I can only add event now using the stupid + signs, or go into daily or weekly view. HELP!

    I have this problem too.  Just started today all of a sudden.  When I am in iCal on my Macbook, I double click - like I have been doing since ical was invented - and nothing happens, other than a quick "updating" message.  I tried clicking the "+" button but all it gives me is  "quick event" to add but nothing ever shows up in my iCal calendar on my mac.   When I log into to iCal in the Cloud - lo and behold! - I see dozens and dozens of "new event" entries all over my calendar!  What is going on and how can this be corrected?  At this point my computer's ICal program is basically now useless since I am prevented from adding anything to it.

    Hi,
    Try this ... reboot your Mac and see if double clicking works again.
    Also, you can just select the Application you like to open and hold down the Command+O to open.
    Also, did you check your setting for the mouse in system preferences.

  • Blocks in standalone applications which can be double clicked for changing parameters

    Can we have blocks in standalone applications which can be double clicked for changing parameters.
    something like an options/configure button which opens another window and helps us to change tha parameters  of that particular
    block.

    Well, you will need to program your application that way. Maybe I am not understanding this correctly but what parameters do you want to change in your standalone application?

  • Crystal Reports 11 - Can't double click on report

    I have Crystal Reports 11 install.  When I try and double click on a report I get the message "This action is only valid for applications that have been installed".  I can open the report via the CR11 File Open menu though.  Any idea on how I can fix it so I can open the report by double-clicking on it?

    Hi Chris,
    Try these following steps,
    1. Go to the Control Programs, Add/Remove Programs.
    2. Click on Crystal Reports and Click on the Change Button.
    3. The Crystal Reports XI Setup Window will get open. Choose modify and click on the Next Button.
    4. Choose the feature from the left side of the window that are grayed out and that you need to update/install on the machine.
    5. Left click on to that and choose to install those features on to your machine.
    6. Click Next and after all the components are installed/Updated, reboot the machine.
    Hope this resolves your issue.
