I can't seem to get firefox to open a new blank window by going to the menu or doing "comand n" is there a setting disableing new windows?

also when i click a link on an email in thunderbird nothing happens and when i try to rip a tab off to make its own window it disapears.

You can inspect and adjust the browser.link.open_newwindow prefs on the about:config page.

  • I can't seem to get Firefox to open links in Thunderbird, for ex. and when checking defauts, it doesn't show up in my standard user profile (Win7)

    I've tried a few browsers, but want to go back to only Firefox as default browser. I can find it and allocate it in the Administrator profile, but not my daily use, standard user. It doesn't even appear in the list of programs to assign defaults.
    And when I click on a web link (in Thunderbird, for ex.) I have to copy and paste it in Firefox to go to the page.

    Unless Verizon has a special provision in this regard that ATT has never had, Apple handles all iPhone repairs and exchanges under Apple's warranty.
    There is a setting when capturing photos - Automatic, On, or Off for the flash when capturing photos.
    If there is no flash when set to On or Automatic in a dark setting and no change after the standard troubleshooting steps which in order are:
    Power your iPhone off and on.
    An iPhone reset.
    Restoring your iPhone with iTunes from the backup.
    Restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup.
    Your iPhone has a hardware problem. You can call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

  • HT1277 I can't seem to get gmail from my apple mail account. I have removed the account and added it, but it says I have the wrong password. I close gmail and get in just fine. What's up?

    I can't seem to get gmail from my apple mail account. I have removed the account and added it, but it says I have the wrong password. I close gmail and get in just fine. What's up?

    I meant that I sign out, sign back in ok. Ergo, I know my password. Someone here on the support page  (you?) told me the culprit is the 2 step verification process which I had on. That makes a lot of sense as Apple mail won't get a code thereby jamming up the process. I could not even start a new account until I took that 2 step process off. Everything fine now thank you.

  • I can't seem to get Firefox to update on my Linux Mint system???

    First I have to say I'm a little tech challenged. I can't seem to get my Firefox to update to the latest version. I've tried the Help page and done the fixes to no avail. I also downloaded the latest version but my computer will not seem to do anything with it. My Linux Mint is currently up to date.
    My Firefox does crash occasionally and I wind up having to shut the computer down manually. Linux restarts fine but sometimes it takes two or three tries to get Firefox up without crashing again...
    Thanks

    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

  • How do I get firefox to open a new window when i click on a link in a webpage ?

    When I click on a link in a webpage in Firefox, generally it opens the new page in the window i am in (though some times it does not). How do I get it to open a new window (or tab) each time I click a link.
    For example, on www.bbc.co.uk if I click on a link, the new page opens in the same window, if I then click another link in the new window, again, it opens in the same window. To get back to the original window, I have to use the back button twice. Surely there is a setting so that all 3 windows can be open on separate tabs or separate windows.
    I have been to the tabs window in options, but doesn't seem to make a difference.

    Open link/bookmark in new tab in same window:
    *Middle-click (press the mouse scroll wheel) the link
    *Ctrl+left click the link
    *right-click the link, choose "Open Link in New Tab"
    Open link/bookmark in new window:
    * Shift+Enter on the link
    * Shift+left click on the link

  • How do I get Firefox to open when I dial up to connect to the internet, instead of internet explorer for the internet service provider?

    I have a dial up connection for the internet through Netzero.com, and when I click on it to dial up to the internet, it brings up the Netzero home page on Internet Explorer. I've changed my default home page from Internet Explorer, to Firefox, but when the internet is connected, Internet Explorer is the one that brings up the Netzero home page, not Firefox, so I have to click on the icon for Firefox, and then it opens, with Netzero home page on it, so I have to go through 2 different processes to get to use Firefox. I downloaded Firefox because it's suppose to be faster that Internet Explorer, especially since Internet Explorer keeps not responding when I'm in the middle of doing something. So I thought I'd try Firefox, but it doesn't seem to be faster than Internet Explorer, since the ISP that I have has a web accelerator, but it doesn't work on Firefox for some reason, I can see on a meter on my desktop when it's accelerating, and Firefox doesn't accelerate ever, if I change over to Internet Explorer, I can see the meter accelerating the web page. Hope you can help me with this problem, as I like Firefox. Thank you very much.

    Try changing firefox to the default browser: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Setting_Your_Default_Browser]. That will probably get firefox to open when you dial up.
    I'm not sure what you mean by "the meter accelerating the web page". Can you explain that?
    Thank you

  • Can't get Firefox to open a new tab as my homepage or a specific url. Alwatys get 'The address isn't valid'

    When opening a new tab, I keep getting 'The Address isn't valid'. Went through all the fixes given in previous threads, changing the url in about:config, running Firefox in safe mode (problem still exists with plugins disabled) resetting Firefox, changed newtab settings to about:home etc, restarted, deleted cookies. Nothing seems to work. Some other program seems to be overriding the Firefox settings. May be a virus. I am using the latest McAfee software.
    I once had an add-on that brought up thumbnails with a new tab but I removed that a while back.
    On the right hand side search bar of firefox I can see that Bing is one of the dropdown search engine choices not that it should make a difference but I thougth they were sometimes a bit aggresive.
    Anyhow, would love to know if there is a solution as it's making me suspicious of having an undetected visus or hijacking.

    Thanks for your relpy but I've already tried these solutions and no joy. I tried them again there just to be sure but still no good.
    In the mean time I installed a plug-in that does this for me. I used My Homepage 1.2 and it's done the business.
    Still don't know what was causing the problem. (And it wasn't a typo, I checked and copied and pasted urls from other locations...)

  • I can't get Firefox to open a new tab each time I click on a link or favorite. It keeps loading onto the current tab.

    I went to Tools>Options>Tabs and entered a check mark next to the first entry, "Open New Windows in a New Tab Instead" but it still does not open a new tab each time I click on a link or one of my favorites. It used to way back in earlier versions of Firefox but hasn't for the past few iterations...am I doing something wrong or do I need to activate something else within Firefox?

    '''''"I went to Tools>Options>Tabs and entered a check mark next to the first entry, "Open New Windows in a New Tab Instead" but it still does not open a new tab each time I click on a link or one of my favorites."'''''
    That option only controls pages that would open in a new window based on the code on the website page you are visiting.
    Firefox's default is to open a link or a Bookmark in the currently selected tab.
    You have some options to have links and/or Bookmarks open in a new tab:
    *middle-click the link or Bookmark (middle-click = press the mouse scroll wheel)
    *CTRL+left-click the link or Bookmark
    *right-click the link or Bookmark and choose "Open in New Tab"
    *install one of the following and set the options to automatically open links or Bookmarks in a new tab:

  • Hi I can't seem to get my apps to fully download. I download them from the AppStore type in my pass and then it says waiting and loads really fast and when it's done loading it goes back to waiting! then a notification tells me it can't load at this time

    Hi, I can't seem to download apps they wait then load then wait again then a notification comes up and tells me I can't download them at this time but it tells me that in the afternoon and night I tried resetting it and pressing the sleep button and wake but that doesn't work

  • On Linux platform, Firefox only opens up a blank window with no place for a URL

    I have an older Red Hat version of Linux which has worked fine for about seven years now. I have not done any updating since then, I must admit, since I seldomly use this platform for dowloading and searching gene databases. Now whether I call up Firefox from the taskbar or from the dropdown menu, I just get a blank window, if anything, even when I log in as Root. So I cannot access the Internet from this platform.

    That version of RedHat may not support Firefox 4 or 5. You may need to go back to Firefox 3.6.x, or maybe even Firefox 2, depending upon which version of RedHat you have.

  • Can't seem to get beyond 10.6.0.40 on Windows XP PC

    Upon launch of iTunes on our Windows XP computer we do occasionally (not always, or even often) get a notice "you need to update iTunes", and then I download and install iTunes but it doesn't seem to update anything; it's still at 10.6.0.40 according to the About... dialog.
    I've downloaded the darn thing a half-dozen times it seems, cuz Apple doesn't list the actual version # of the download i.e. it's just always "iTunesSetup.exe" and all the downloads are the exact same size, 74,967,408 bytes under Properties.
    It seems I should be at 10.6.1, and someone here says it's 10.6.1.7, but I am stuck at 10.6.0.40.
    Who can help me sort this.
    BTW the SHA1 hash values of all my downloads are the same, and don't seem to align with 10.6.1:
    6F08434B9C3680C6E583707804838976F7281B70 iTunesSetup.exe
    OK I searched this and indeed it is the hash value for 10.6.0.40. So why when I DL from Apple I keep getting the same, OLD iTunes???

    I'm not sure what's causing it. If you've got the time, would you mind reporting it directly to Apple? The support feedback form might be best:
    http://www.apple.com/support/feedback/
    As it workaround, try downloading and saving the iTunesSetup.exe installer on a different (32-bit) PC:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Check to make sure that the file version of the iTunesSetup.exe is 10.6.1.7, and, if so, copy it to a thumb drive (or something similar), carry it back to the PC with the trouble, and then run the install using the 10.6.1.7 iTunesSetup.exe.
    (The vast majority of 32-bit systems seem to be getting a 10.6.1.7, so I have reasonably high hopes for the success of the workaround.)
