I cannot open a New Window. How do I get the ability to open a new (second) window?

When I upgraded from 3.6.15 to 3.6.18 it wiped out the use of all my extensions, add ons, and bookmarks, yet they were all still there. I deleted the suffixes on extensions, rebooted FF and they all started working. The only thing not working is opening a New Window. I click on File - New Window, I right click on FF icon on desktop, icon in Quick menu, I tried dragging a tab to the desktop. Nothing works.
Also FF will not allow me to install the update Adobe plugin.

-> Tap ALT key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
-> go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
-> Update ALL your Firefox Plug-ins https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
-> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> unselect All Unwanted toolbars
-> go Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> '''Time range to clear: select EVERYTHING''' -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on '''Cookies, Cache, Site Preferences''' -> click "Clear Now"
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Content -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Block Pop-up windows 2) Load images automatically 3) Enable JavaScript
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Privacy -> History section -> '''Firefox will: select "Use Custom Settings for History"''' -> REMOVE Checkmark from '''"Permanent Private Browsing mode"''' -> place CHECKMARKS on:
1) Remember my Browsing History 2) Remember Download History 3) Remember Search History 4) Accept Cookies from sites -> select "Exceptions..." button -> Click "Remove All Sites" at the bottom of "Exception - Cookies" window
4a) Accept Third-party Cookies -> under "Keep Until" select "They Expire"
-> REMOVE CHECKMARK from CLEAR HISTORY WHEN FIREFOX CLOSES
-> When using the Location Bar, suggest: select "History and Bookmarks"
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Security -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons 2) Block reported attack sites 3) Block reported web forgeries 4) Remember Passwords for sites
-> Click OK on Options window
-> click the Favicon (small drop down menu icon) on Firefox SearchBar (its position is on the Right side of the Address Bar) -> click "Manage Search Engines" -> select all Unwanted Search Engines and click Remove -> click OK
-> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious Extensions (Add-ons) -> Restart Firefox
You can enable your Known & Trustworthy Add-ons later. Check and tell if its working.

  • When I have the downloads window open and I close the browser window, how can I get the browser to open the homepage the next time I start it while the download window is still open?

    When I have the downloads window open and I close the browser window, the next time I reopen the browser while the downloads are still going, it returns me to the last page I was on. All previous versions of Firefox would return me to my homepage which I would prefer. Please let me know if this is possible.

    When you re-open Firefox and choose Restore Session, by default it picks up your most-recently-open window, and the other windows should then show up in Recently Closed Windows.
    The Firefox add-on Session Manager lets you manage how many closed windows and closed tabs are saved, in case it's not enough.

  • In a new tab, how do I get the cursor to open to the url line?

    When a tab opens I need to click on the url line. In past version of firefox the cursor opened on the url line

    What is the location (URL) of the new tab page?
    Some pages that you open as a new tab set the focus on the page instead of the location bar.
    You can set the browser.newtab.url pref to about:blank to open get an empty tab.<br />
    You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location bar.

    How are you saving a new bookmark?
    There 5 ways to save a new Bookmark in Firefox, the first 4 should offer to save the new bookmark in a folder:
    1.
    2. Right-click and select Bookmark this Page.
    3. Bookmarks > Bookmark this Page
    4. Double-click the Star that is on the right side of the Location bar.
    4a. (A single-click on the Star will save the new Bookmark to the Unsorted Bookmarks folder, without opening the Edit this Bookmark dialog.)
    5. Drag the website image in the URL bar into the Sidebar view of Bookmarks
    or to the Bookmarks menu bar item and then into the drop-down or onto the Bookmarks Toolbar

    To move a home folder, create a new home folder, copy the contents of the old home folder into the new home folder, and then delete the old home folder.  Take a look at this link, http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/UserMgmt_v10.6.pdf

  • In ios 7, how do I get the calendar to open each time in list mode?

    In ios 7, on the iphone 5, how do I get the calendar to open each time in list mode? It always opens is strange new mode and goes to list mode only if I click the search icon.

    For some weird reason beyond my comprehension, and I am a smart fellow I think; Adobe starting with acrobat/reader 8 has decided to hid the menu icon Ribbon (i guess you would call it) until you have a PDF open. In versions past if you had these icons on the screen you could actually use them to open Pdf's or create pdfs from scans.
    Pesonally for me its a dumb idea. But was justified as allowing for more screen area to view. The guy that thought up the idea should be taken out behind the barn and given 10 licks for stupid ideas. :-)

  • How can I get the old Firefox back, this new one stinks

    how can I get the old Firefox back, this new one stinks

    Firefox is highly customizable and you may be able to customize it to meet your needs.
    If you do not like the new UI, you can make Firefox 4 look and behave more like Firefox 3.6, for details see http://www.computertechtips.net/64/make-firefox-4-look-like-ff-3-6
    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
    For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

  • My iPad conveys that it is disabled, and that I need to connect to iTunes.  When I connect to iTunes I get a message that I need to enter my pass code and open my Ipad, but I don't get the screen to open with a password.  How do I fix this?

    You will need to restore it. It may not sync, but the iPad's sidebar has to appear you can restore it and it will be as the last time ou synced it to iTunes. For more info:

  • I got a new computer, how do I get the photos off my ipod on to my computer?

    I got a new computer, how do I get the photos off my ipod on to my computer?

    For photos synced from your computer ( photo library pics) you don't.  The photo sync is one way - computer to ipod.
    You need to move the pics from your old computer or your backup copy of the old computer.  You could e-mail them to yourself.  They will not be of the original resolution.
    For pics taken with ipod ( Camera Roll Pics), then you import them as you would from any digital camera.

    I found one other way to do it.  I just deleted them all out of my iTunes library. Now I can re-import them from Window's My Music file with the original artists' names intact.
