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).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Opening More Than One Browser Window

Hi all,
Mac Newbie here!
A quick question.
If i wish to open more than one browser window, how do i do it?

However, if i try to do that with Safari, nothing happens.
I have looked through various settings pages but i cant seem to find anything to help.
Any ideas?

Why can I no longer open more than one tab in Firefox? Has Firefox been saboutaged by an update by Microsoft?

I have been using Firefox for over 2 years and like the (unreliable) Windows Explorer before it I took for granted the ability to open multiple tabs. 2 days ago my computer downloaded some updates (even though I try to stop it) and after the compulsary restart I cannot open more than one tab in Firefox, even though the browser apparently invites me to. Is this an attempt by Microsoft to saboutage Firefox to build up support for its own product?

Not Microsoft, it is the Ask toolbar. Try uninstalling the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and the current version of Firefox.

ADF UIX: communication between more than one browser window

Dear Sirs...
how can i open more than one browser window using ADF UIX and jdeveloper 10.1.2 such that the data entered in the second window affects the data in the first?
for example in the date field, a popup window appear that allows me to select the date, and then the selection appears in the first window.
how can i achieve something similar? i am using UIX not JSP
thanks for any help in advance
best regards

dear sir...
i am afraid you got me wrong, i am not talking about the database values.
let me give you an example of what i am trying to achieve:
1- create a date field, create an input forum to fill that field (uix page)
2- now you run the application, try to click the icon near the date field, a new popup window will appear, that helps you enter the date value.
3- when you select the value, the popup window disappears and the date is inserted into the forum
i am trying to achieve something similar.
thanks for your previous answer, but you got my question wrong.
best regards

Firefox updater unable to update with message saying ensure that I do ot have more than one version of firefox running

As I start up firefox, I'm prompted to update but it fails saying that it cannot update and that I should make sure that there is not more than one version of firefox running

It was not directly useful, although interesting. It convinced me that there was a problem in android, so I reset to factory defaults and reinstalled Aurora. Now sync is working well again. thanks

Cannot open more than one window with Firefox

I've been having this problem for a couple of weeks, now, and I've run out of ways to try and fix this.
One day, after starting my computer up, I opened Firefox. No big deal, everything looks fine, tabs are working, etc. Then, when I went to open a second window, nothing. The first window still works fine, I can open tab upon tab, but it just won't open any more windows.
As much as I'm a fan of the browser tabs, I still prefer to have them spread out over more than one window.
I've read through a ton of different troubleshooting walkthroughs and whatnot, reinstalled three or four times, restored settings, but nothing works.
Well, not entirely, I guess. Here's the part that I can't quite figure out. When I disable every single addon, Firefox works just fine. I've done the checking down the list, trying to single one out, but it's *any* addon. Even something as simple as a dictionary search ([https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/68/]) causes this to happen.
I've checked with an older computer with an older version of Firefox, and it still seems to work fine with addons enabled, so I'm wondering if this is an update issue?
Would reverting back to a previous version of Firefox solve this, and if so, where would I be able to find downloads for a previous version?
So, like I said, I'm at a bit of a loss here. Sort of at a crossroads for trying to figure out what to try next, so I'm hoping someone a bit more knowledgeable can help steer me in a direction.
Edit: I just noticed that the posting includes system information with my question. I should clarify that I'm posting this from an older computer with an older version of Firefox. On the computer that I'm having this issue with, I'm using the newest version of Firefox (3.6.8).

Some old posts indicate the following add-ons have caused the problem of not being able to open a new window in Firefox in the past. If you have any of them you might want to disable or uninstall them to see if that is causing your problem.

You need to update your plug-ins. It is important to keep them updated due to continuing security fixes and improvements in those plug-ins:
* Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 11.5 (you '''may''' need to update)
* Shockwave Flash 10.0 r32
* Java Plug-in 1.6.0_11 for Netscape Navigator (DLL Helper)

You are using an out-of-date version of Firefox. Unless you have a reason for using that old version, you might want to consider upgrading.
*The Firefox version series 3.0.x is no longer being supported or updated, even for security issues.
*The last version in the 3.0.x series was 3.0.19 which was released 03/15/2010.
*You are using version 3.0.13 which was released 07/31/2009.
Consider upgrading to the current version, Firefox 3.6.8. Firefox 3.6.9 is scheduled to be released in a few days and the new Firefox 4 will be released later this year or early next year.

I can't get more than one window of Firefox to open no matter what I try. Help!

I recently had a virus and had to do a system restore to about a month ago. After the restore everything worked okay, except for Firefox. Now I can't open more than one Firefox window at a time and the window that is open is having a bunch of problems (right clicking won't open things into tabs, the back button isn't working, etc.). I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, but that did nothing.
== Yesterday

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).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

Since upgrading, if I open more than one page, I can't type in the URL bar nor do any type of command in the extra page. I can only use Firefox if only one window is open.

If I open more than one Firefox page, the extra page(s) aren't responsive and all links/buttons are grayed out and unusueable.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== When I upgraded to 3.6.7 and worse with 3.6.8.

Perform the suggestions mentioned in the following article:

Check and tell if its working.

I'm using an iPhone 4. I used to be able to send more than one picture at a time to another iPhone. Now I get messages that it cannot be delivered. What's going on?

While on vacation in Canada in July I started having trouble sending more than one pix at a time to other users. I don't recall having this problem before. Is there a limit on the number of pictures you can send via text? I wonder if I messed up some settings while I was in Canada. I had things set so that I could not receive phone calls so I wouldn't get charged. Could I have messed up text / multimedia settings as well?

We want your phone working just as well now as it did before your trip, sngbrd9. Are you trying to send the pictures to other Apple users using iMessage or are they being sent through MMS/picture messaging? Are you able to send pictures one at a time to those same contacts without an error? Did you change any settings in your camera to have HDR now instead of a slightly lower resolution with a smaller file size?

HT1725 I can no longer download music from itunes store. Happened when I was Downloading from songs dragged from itunes store to a playlist. I tried to downloaad more than one at a time. The download stopped. Now I can not download at all.

I can no longer download music from itunes store. It happened when I was trying to download songs dragged into a playlist. I tried to download more than one at a time. It stopped. Now I cant download at all. Even rebooted my machine.

OK thanks I will try that. I just don't understand why I still can't download new videos as I've deleted the software I installed and I've changed my camera settings back to what they were before when I could download into iPhoto. I perhaps should have mentioned it's iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5. Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
It could be as simple as longer (larger) videos - iPhoto does not always handle larger video files well
Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
iPhoto is not a download and view program - it is a photo management database program that imports photos - Image Capture is a download program - Preview is a view program
The default program to download your photos is set in the preference panel of either iPhoto or image capture

Can only open firefox once, have to restart to open more than one browser. can't upload any pictures the box doesn't pop up, my browser settings are diff now

Firefox just changed out of nowhere. I can only open firefox once... I used to have atleast 2 browsers up using them both on different sites, but now I can't have but one firefox browser up (not tabs, but firefox pages) Also when I am trying to upload images on ebay or any other site nothing happens... nothing pops up. I click it over and over and nothing even pops up. This is exactly what happens with the firefox browser in my first question... I can click the firefox icon a million times and nothing comes up. My tabs are all gone and it doesn't show anything like I had before this all changed? Did I reset everything some how? I do not recall clicking anything to go back... I do remember clicking an update because it kept poping up so I did it and that is the last thing I remember before this happened! UGHHH!

As I asked previously are you able to have tabs open as a window by using the right clicking option ?
When you close Firefox you should use
*'''Firefox button -> File -> Exit '''
Are you doing that ?
I suspect what may be happening is Firefox is hanging as it closes down.
* see [[Firefox hangs or is not responding - How to fix#w_firefox-hangs-when-you-quit-it]]_firefox-hangs-when-you-quit-it
* this explains how to check & if necessary kill the process [["Firefox is already running but is not responding" error message - How to fix it#w_end-firefox-processes]]_end-firefox-processes
A related possible problem is that you may have built up many copies of the restore files. These are stored in the Firefox profile. The easiest method of finding the profile location istouse
*use '''Firefox button -> Help -> Troubleshooting Information -> [Show Folder]'''
*see [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]]
You need to look for the files ''sessionstore.js'' and numbered duplicates of that. Delete them.
* see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs#Multiple_sessionstore.js_files

Why, when have more than one tab on Firefox it generates message Exc in ev handl: Error: Bad NPObject as private data! which then opens each site in a new browser

I like to work with about 6 tabs open on Firefox and typically this has been absolutely fine. Starting around November 2011 each time I have multiple tabs open when I open a new gmail message, or open an order or any other action within an open page a message pops up that reads
Exc in ev handl: Error: Bad NPObject as private data!
then that site immediately opens in a new browser window.
I do not have this issue with Google Chrome or Internet Explorer but I would rather use Firefox. I ran McAfee an extra time thinking it might be a virus but that did not help. Any ideas?

That issue can be caused by the McAfee Site Advisor extension

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Is it possible to use Firefox Sync with more than one browser on a single phone?

I have set up a New Sync account. I have logged in with my desktop Firefox (30a2) and with Firefox release on my Android phone. They seem to be syncing with each other. But with Aurora, it says "Could not sign in". I'm fairly sure I have the password right.
How do I work out what's wrong or debug this?

Yes this should work.
Before new Sync there was a restriction, Release/Beta and Aurora/Nightly were considered one channel each. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=988437 removed this restriction.

Installing Flash Player on More Than One Browser

I have installed the latest Adobe Flash Player. It apparently is "on" Google Chrome but I also want it on Safari. I know it's not yet on there because the videos and LiveStream and such are no longer working (as of today). I have tried to put it on Safari, but I cannot find how to accept the Terms of Use I saw and am stuck on what to do now.
I have a MacBook Pro using Mac OS X Version 10.6.8. My Safari is 5.1.10. Chrome is Version 38.0.2125.104.
I thought having downloaded the latest Adobe Flash all my browsers would use it but Safari. Please be aware I am not technically oriented. Can anyone help me?

Try the offline installer http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player_osx.dm g
Once the installer runs, there is a checkbox you need to check to accept the license agreement

I'd like to use more than one language in Firefox 31. How can I do that? Thx

I use Firefox at work, and while I have admin privileges for my own laptop, whenever I connect to the server with an Ethernet cable, the server automatically reverts my Firefox and Thunderbird to French. I'm using Firefox 31.0 and Thunderbird 31.0 and I would like to be able to use them in English, and the only option I see is to install another UI language pack. I noticed there was a language button in the top right-hand corner of the Firefox toolbar, but there's only one language to choose from. Despite my efforts to search and install a British English addon that would do the trick, I couldn't find anything.
Thanks for your help,
R.

Thanks a lot Cor-el,
I actually want to use a different user interface language. I was able to install the spell-checkers and dictionaries previously, but I didn't know what to do with the UI language. I checked the links you kindly provided but apparently, the downloadable language packs are not compatible with Firefox 31, which they set up in my office. Is there any way to force the install?
I also checked out the locale switcher but since the language pack extension is not compatible with firefox 31... If you have time to spare, I would be very interested in finding out more about your desktop shortcut solution.
I use a mac at home, and language-wise it's so much better. My own profile is completely in English whereas my wife is in French, which simplifies things (I just made sure to tell her to use safari if she wants to browse in French!)
One solution I used in the past was to reinstall firefox in English, but I have to do that every time the IT guys update FF, and then, you don't want to stand out if you want to remain in their good graces.
Thank you very much for your help anyway,
Remy
