I can't drag to rearrange tabs in 9.0.1 - click and holding over a tab doesn't grab it to allow movement?

I am using Firefox 9.0.01 on both my Windows 7 PC and an OSX machine. On the OSX machine I can drag tabs to re-arrange them. On the Windows PC I cannot drag tabs. I looked in the tab settings but didn't see anything obvious? I have removed all Add-ins just to make sure, but I am running pure Firefox currently. Any ideas?

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • I can't open links in firefox. I must drag them to the tool bar or right click and open in a new page

    I am running Vista and installed a new version of firefox yesterday plus I messed around with trying to block some obnoxious advertising pop up windows. Now I can't open links and must drag them to the browser bar or right click and "open in a new window". How do I fix this? I tried to restart Firefox but it didn't help. thanks!

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

    Try to open a new window and see if that window works.

  • Why can't I adjust the scale of my text by clicking and dragging the corner boxes?

    Why can't I adjust the scale of my text by clicking and dragging the corner boxes? Why I have the text selected, all it does it let me highlight it to change font, size, etc, OR all I can do is move it throughout the artboard. Why can I click and drag the corner box to adjust?

    It's because you have a paragraph text box and it doesn't automatically resize text. This way you can change the margins of the text without resizing it which is how paragraph text functions by default.
    I'm not seeing the new text paragraph/area indicator on your text box, which is what you get in Illustrator CC, so the only way to convert this text so you can resize it by dragging on the corners is to copy the text, deselect the text box, use the text tool to click once in another part of your document, and then paste the text. The text will then come into your document as one long line if you don't have hard returns in it, but after reflowing the text manually you'll be able to drag the corners to resize the text.
    I would recommend not going this route as any text you remove from the area type means that the rest of the text has to be manually adjusted to maintain correct margins. Instead just resize the bounds of the paragraph text and adjust the size of the font in the Character panel.

  • How can I turn-off the apps which I have opened once in ISO 7.0.2. In previous version of ISO it was easy to turn- the opened apps by double clicking on home button and then click and hold on respective apps then click on cross sign.

    How can I turn-off the apps which I have opened once in ISO 7.0.2. In previous version of ISO it was easy to turn-off the opened apps by double clicking on home button and then click and hold on respective apps then click on cross sign but in this version I could not do so and my iPad appears slower.

    Close inactive apps
    1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
    2. Swipe the app's windows upwards to close
    3. The app will fly off the screen

  • I can't import any files from itunes... the click and drag isn't working...

    I've tried clicking and dragging my mp3 from the desktop, from the finder, and straight from itunes, but i can't get it to be in garageband... at all...
    I feel like i'm doing the same thing i was doing even just earlier today, but it isn't working anymore...

    Is your mp3 maybe called .MP3? Then try to change it to lowercase.

  • Importing Graphics lesson: can't drag to rearrange layers

    doesn't work.

    Hi, Silvalli-
    As we mentioned in the other thread you started, you need to drag in the Elements Panel and not in the Timeline Panel.  Here's a screen shot to help you out.

  • I can't open last closed tab, doesn't start with last tabs

    I recently noticed that I cannot open the last closed tab (the selection is there, but is greyed out).
    Then, when rebooting, I notice that the system does not restore the last visited tabs - even though that selection is made in the Options.
    I recently installed KeePass and it's extension in Firefox and it seems to work well (I don't actually use it often). And, recently I had a glitch where the system would resize my pages (as if I was holding the Ctrl key down while scrolling.
    Several reboots fixed this issue - but now I can't resize by holding the Ctrl key and scrolling (although holding Ctrl and tapping the - key will resize the window).
    Any ideas on how to fix this without a total reinstall? I've been copying my Firefox profile from one computer to another for years and am concerned about losing my saved data/preferences.
    Thanks in advance!!!
    - John

    Uninstalled KeeFox and the problem has disappeared.

  • Can't Drag Clips From Browser! Have To Double-Click  To Load Into Viewer.

    For some reason my DV PAL clips in the Browser can't be dragged.
    I have to double-click them to load them into the Viewer from where I can drag them anywhere.
    What have I done . . . . . go on, I bet it's so simple I'll be kicking myself?
    Incidentally I have swapped my silver keyboard for an old white one but FCP 6 is working fine.

    Well I'll be hornswoggled . . . . . it was a preference job!
    Come to think of it, I was fiddling with them earlier, but only changed the number of levels of "Undo" from 10 to 30.

  • I can't read the text on my toolbar after changing personas, and unchecking "use text color" doesn't do anything even if I change personas.

    Several personas come with unreadable text and accent color. This article explains how to resolve the issue:
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Cannot+read+text+after+selecting+a+Persona
    However, when I followed the directions, the text colors did not stay the same as I switched personas.

    If you have installed a persona then the default text color and background color of the toolbars are defined by that persona.<br />
    The colors of the currently selected persona are stored as the first entry in the pref <b>lightweightThemes.usedThemes</b> as textcolor and accentcolor.
    You can edit that pref and set another value for the "textcolor":"#ffffff" part (e.g. "textcolor":"#000000").

  • I can't run java installer. This may involve firefox. My firewall is turned off so that I can install java, but something is still blocking the installation procedure, and java's support page doesn't seem to offer an answer.

    University tech support says their online course system prefers explorer to firefox, and something they and the java download site both say about allowing pop-ups and disabling the firewall make me thing that part of the problem is with firefox's compatibility. But honestly, I don't know. I just know that I'm following all the directions I can find and it doesn't seem to be working.

  • IMac stopped recognizing my Internet connection (ethernet) after announcing an IP address conflict (all of a sudden, after 6 years). How can I get the whole network settings part back to default and start over?

    I had no trouble getting on line until last week when a message came on that
    IP address 192.168.0.139
    was in use by
    04:0c:ce:54:c1:e5 
    DHCP Server 192.168.0.1
    Since that time, no matter if I plug it into one router or the other  (I use a router in my office to share the one ethernet cable that comes down the hall) it claims that the ethernet is working and it knows that it is connected to the Internet,but it cannot access the Internet. IT seems to be stuck in a cycle of navel-gazing, constantly focused on its own ethernet IP address.
    All I know how to do is operate the thing; we have no IT person here. A visitor set up our network for us a few years ago. Only the iMac has this problem; my PC laptops go online just fine. But all my work is on the iMac.

    First thing to try is renewing the DHCP lease.
    System Preferences > Network.
    Do you have a green dot next to Ethernet? If so, with ethernet selected in the left pane;
    Check the location is set to 'automatic'
    Check 'configure IPv4' is set to DHCP
    Click the 'Advanced' button
    Check that DHCP is selected in that window for IPv4
    Turn off IPv6 (gives a conflict on some routers)
    Click the button 'renew DHCP lease'
    That should persuade the router to give you a different IP.
