I can't switch tabs; clicking on other open tabs or using Ctrl-Tab does nothing.

After upgrading to FF4, sometimes (I haven't been able to identify a pattern yet) I can no longer move between tabs. I can still open new tabs, and can move between those without any problems, but am locked out of any tab that was opened before this issue began. These tabs will still auto-refresh, but clicking on them doesn't switch to them, and Ctrl-Tab just switches between the tabs that were opened after the freeze began. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks....
(Using Windows XP, FYI)

That's what I was experiencing. I had to disable all add-ons (via the safe mode method above) and add them back in one by one. After adding each one back in, I tried to recreate the conditions that seemed to be causing the problem in the first place, which, for me, was customizing the toolbar. Eventually found the add-on that locked up the tabs. Hope this works for you, too.

On certain web sites(with java applets embedded or rich content),sometimes browser hotkeys are beeing used with other functionality (eg.: youtube uses ctrl + tab for sliding between player controls).How can I prevent this?

I would only mention that your definition is incomplete for this -
Contextual selector A type of Style Sheet Selector that
and that it's most often referred to now as a Descendent selector, not a contextual selector. It's basically the same as the Compound selector that you have already defined....

How to switch between 2 windows of the same application using Cmd+Tab

Hi,
I am using my mac now since about 10 months. I was used to work with Linux and Windows XP.
Something I am badly missing on mac os x is the possibility to switch between 2 windows of the same application using cmd + tab just like it simply works for Linux and Windows (and maybe many other OS out there!).
Very often I have 2 text files open in 2 editor windows (e.g. TextEdit) and need to copy and paste text from one window to the other. I was used to simply use ALT+TAB. But here I have to get my right hand away from the keyboard and use the mouse to change the focus from one window to the other and then use the mouse again to get the focus back to the previous TextEdit windows.
THIS REALLY *****!!!! It makes me crazy. I cannot believe that such a "modern" OP does not support this action. I must be doing something completely wrong or did not understand the mac correctly. Right?
Does anyone have an idea how I can get mac to do something all other operating systems so easily do?
Thanks

Hi Kappy,
well what you are saying is obvious to me. This is not the point for me and not what I wanted to know. But I think you answered my question anyway: OS X is unable to switch between windows of the same application as I mentioned in my example.
WHY NOT???
Every other OS is able to differentiate between windows and not just applications.
Another example: The Mail application and an Email editor window. When you are writing an Email and you want to switch to the main window of the Mail application to read something you must again use the mouse!
I mean Apple seems to be "somehow" using FreeBSD in the background and even in FreeBSD's window manager it is possible to switch between windows of the same application.
Well, in the Apple world it is always the pour user who is not intelligent enough to understand Apple's philosophy ;-(
To me this is not modern, it is simply a weakness of the OS.

Version 33, problems when moving tab to new window, then if you open a new tab in that window it doesn't switch to it unless you use Ctrl-Tab?

I''m looking to format the PCMCIA using a PC and format it to FAT16 and copy the boot image into it and then try to load from the PCMCIA afterward if it works I'll format it using the Supervisor engine 2.
Any one have another new idea I can use, thanks in advance

This is a potentially complex issue.
Is this SUP configured to run as IOS native or CatOS Hybrid?
While in ROMMON can you do the 'dev' command and see whad drives are recognized. Then 'dir' the drives that the SUP recognizes.
Can you provide the screen captures as it boots?
You would be bette served by hacing a TAC case.

When using more than one tab, once I have opened a pdf using firefox my laptop will not allow me to type or click in another tab unless I drag the pdf into it's own window?

when using more than one tab, once I have opened a .pdf using firefox my laptop will not allow me to type or click in another tab unless I drag the .pdf into it's own window? not a major problem just irritating.

I found the cause but no solution, it's actually a plugin that does that: divx plus weblpayer (it gets installed when you install DivX on your system), if you disable it and restart firefox it all works again. But I want that plugin... so DivX need to fix this, unless it is a Firefox bug in its own core... anyway these two together creates the problem.
(I'm running Firefox 9.x on OSX Lion)
I also wish firefox tab tear out tab worked more like chrome's tab tear out, much friendlier...

After Firefox has been on for awhile, the Firefox tabs on the task bar disappear even though the pages are still running. I have to use Ctrl+Tab to fix it

I have started using Firefox recently. My computer is running XP. I notice that whether I have one Firefox window or multiple windows open, after awhile the Firefox tabs on the bottom task bar just disappear.
In order to get them back I have to use Ctrl+Tab to select each window one at a time and then they re-appear again on the task bar. Then after awhile they will disappear again.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item: 
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]] 
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''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 [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

How can I get the link I click on to open automatically in a new tab? Thank you

I am sure that the old version of Firefox, you could click on a link and it would open in another tab, I have looked at Google as well, and I can't see if it was a google option.
Any help appreicated, I expect I am missing the obvious!

You can use an extension:

Can't switch to old 3.2.2 Aperture library (using 3.5.1)

Hello there,
I use Aperture 3.2.2 (with a 100GB Library on an external drive) and I've just bought a new MacBook Pro which is running the latest version of Aperture (3.5.1). When I go to 'file > Switch to library > Other/new' and click the 'Other library' button then select my 100GB 3.2.2 Library, which is on my external drive, Aperture tells me:
"The selected library is from an older version of Aperture and requires a relaunch to switch. Choose “Relaunch” to relaunch Aperture with the new library."
However, once I click 'Relaunch' it doesn't load my old library but instead displays the default Library (which is empty for me as it's a fresh install).
Can anyone help me access my 3.2.2 from within Aperture 3.5.1 (I'm running OS X 10.9.5)? Any ideas ideas will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Yes, the message is misleading (actually it is down right poor) but you need to update the library before you can do anything with it in the new version of Aperture.
So to update it, first quit Aperture , then locate the old library in the Finder and double click the library. This will open Aperture on the library and as it needs to be updated you will be asked if that is what you want to do.
Once it is updated you can then use the library as you wish.
Note while the upgrade procedure is safe it is always a good idea to have a backup of it before starting.
regards

On OS X, middle click and command-click do not open bookmarks in a new tab

On OS X, middle clicking or Cmd-clicking on a link, or on a bookmark on the toolbar, opens that link in a new tab. However, middle clicking or Cmd-clicking on a bookmark in the Bookmarks menu opens the link in the current tab.
In the case of middle clicking, I am using an external mouse. Cmd-click fails to open a new tab from links in the Bookmarks menu both when using an external mouse, as well as when I use my MacBook trackpad.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? ''A troubleshooting mode.''

I am unable to open tabs by clicking on the + symbol or by using Ctrl-T

The open tabs feature is not working correctly when I try to open one myself by clicking on the open tabs + tab or by clicking on File and choosing open new tab. Nothing happens for either.

Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.

I cannot open a new tab - when I restart firefox (or my computer), ctrl T does not work, and the "+" tab next to the single tab on my browser window does NOT open a second tab

Firefox3.6.18, running on WinXP (all the Microsoft patches), opens with a single tab. Clicking the Add Tab "+" or pressing CTRL T does not open a new tab, although I can open a new window. Also, when exiting from Firefox, my tab location is not saved.

Please disable or uninstall the Ask toolbar extension to solve your problem. It has a known incompatibility with Firefox. See [[Uninstalling add-ons]].

I can't switch tabs; clicking on other open tabs or using Ctrl-Tab does nothing.
