I can't open another Firefox 3.6.10 window in Win 7 (32)

Having opened a Firefox window, and wishing to open another, clicking on the Firefox icon does not bring up a new Firefox window of late. I can still go to an existing Firefox window and press ctrl + N and this works.
This problem arose in earlier versions of the 3.6 tree, but back then the point at which new windows could not be opened required more windows to be open. In older versions, one would get a new window, but it would be "browned out" at the top - (no icons visible). I have 4 MB of ram, and few if any other applications running at the time.

Use Tony's suggestion. I am running it right now and it is awesome. I love Mozilla but they basically screwed all of those older Macs over. Come on Mozilla. These Macs still work, and there are plenty of people with them out there.

Can't open the Firefox after install on window. Error indicated I missing the EXE file

Firefox required me to update the flash player, Norton indicated the flash player I just download may contains virus so I removed it right a way. After the virus scanned, I reboot the computer and I am not able to open the Firefox and other applications on the desktop. I got a message indicated the exe file was corrupted or removed. I really don't want to buy other program to fix this problem.

Did you use the bad computer to post this message?
Where did you get the Flash program from?
Are all programs giving you problems, or only some? What ones?

I can only open one Firefox browser window. When I click the firefox icon from desktop or taskbar to open up another browser window it does not open. I am ablt to open up new tabs within the one window.

Have you tried: click Firefox button > New Tab > New Window '''''OR''''' CTRL+N '''''OR''''' File > New Window (if using the Menu Bar)
Once open, Firefox locks the Profile that is in use and you can not open another window with that Firefox version and Profile combination using the Windows Desktop icon or the Windows Programs list.

Firefox will not open another Firefox window, or give me the option to do so even though it use to.

Simple as the header. Simply will not let me open another Firefox window in any way. It use to work fine and I cannot find a setting pretaining to my problem.

AVG extensions can cause this issue.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

How can I open all PDFs on my MS Windows desktop in Firefox?

I would like to open all PDFs on my local MS Windows desktop open in Firefox so I can use tabs.
How can I open all PDFs on my MS Windows desktop in Firefox?
I have tried just going to File... Open... <desktop PDF file>, but all I get is funny markup and funny characters, like the following:
%PDF-1.4 %âãÏÓ 3 0 obj << /Producer (PDF-XChange 3.60.0128 \(Windows XP\)) /CreationDate (D:20110321141052-04'00') >> endobj 5 0 obj << /Type /XObject /Subtype /Image /Width 2551 /Height 3285 /BitsPerComponent 8 /ColorSpace /DeviceGray /Length 500647 /Filter [/FlateDecode /DCTDecode] >> [...]
I am able to open PDFs from the Internet normally using the Adobe Reader X plugin, but for some reason, it doesn't kick in when I open local PDF files.
I am using Firefox 4.0.1 and Adobe Reader X.
Thanks. -Noel

Do you have any graphics editing software like photoshop or something similar.?
Surely you can just open both images, resize the image you want to add, then copy and paste it into the main image. Save this as a new file and set it as the background.
If you need a graphics editing program you can download one called The Gimp for free. Just make sure you have X11 installed.

Try to turn off and turn back on the WAG200G. If still nothing happens, try to use a different browser or different computer.

I can't open iTunes 7.2 on my Windows XP PC....

I can't open iTunes 7.2 on my Windows XP PC and I received the annoying error message "iTunes encounter a problem and needs to be closed, we are sorry for the inconvenience". I install/upgrade iTunes from 7.1.1 to 7.2 and no error messages during installation. I ran QuickTime and works fine, but in iTunes, I can't use it because of that error message. So when I am connected to the web, I chose "Send Error Report". If I'm offline, I always choose "Don't Send". Apple should fix this.

I ran QuickTime and works fine, but in iTunes, I can't use it because of that error message.
if you're getting that on launch, but QuickTime is launching fine, then let's try getting a crash log to the Apple Engineers for a look.
Typically, you'll need to configure Dr. Watson on your PC in order to generate crash logs. Windows start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return. At the prompt in the command line window that comes up, type in
drwtsn32 -i
And hit return.
This will create crash logs in Documents And Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Dr Watson\. There'll usually be a file in here called "drwtsn32.log"
prior to collecting the itunes crash log, delete any existing crash logs in there. (we want to make sure we send the correct crash log.)
Generate the crash, collect the crash log, and and send it as an attachment to this email address
Find that file and send it as an attachment to this email address.
in the email to Roy, be sure to include the following information:
- A link to the thread on Apple Discussions where the issue is being discussed
- The username you are using in the thread
- The version of iTunes you are using or trying to use
- the version of Windows you are using (mention service packs)
- A concise description of the issue you are seeing
- The exact text of the error message you are seeing

Everytime i try to open my Firefox i get a window that pops up asking me which browser i want to use to open it. After choosing Firefox it asks to run a C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe.

Every time i try to open my Firefox i get a window that pops up asking me which browser i want to use to open it. After choosing Firefox it asks to run a C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe. But my search bar says file:///C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe. Never seen anything like this, half tempted to stop using Mozilla for this sole fact. PLEASE someone help me.

Same error message, I disabled tab mix and made sure I only have the newest version of Java, restarted firefox, now it seems to be fine no error yet on Pogo games or pictures upload to ebay which were the biggest problems besides hanging. I had also had disabled AVG secure search yesterday but that did not solve the issue. Now I will try to add back in AVG search...I have very few adds ons, also the note embedded about re- installing a toolbar went away, my old one did not work with FF4, so I installed Yahoo toolbar but the message still did not go away until I applied this fix. Hopes this helps someone..
