When I right click on a link "Open link in new tab" since a few days, it "jumps over" the tab to the right and opens in the tab next to that. How can I change this back to opening in the tab next to the page from which I opened as it used to be?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Do you mean the Extensions tab (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or the Get Extensions tab in "Tools > Add-ons"?
It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the files extensions.* (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Profiles
New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files":
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to check if there is a compatibility update available.

I have a lot of tabs saved so they open when I open Firefox, but the first tab always changes into my homepage, Google. Is there any way to stop this?

I have 20+ tabs always open on Firefox and it's set to remember them. However, when I open Firefox the first tab changes from what I had open there into my homepage, Google. I can use the "go backward" thing to get to the page I had there, but since it goes back to Google every time I restart the browser that gets tedious.
The only way to solve this that I've found is to just stop trying to use the first tab and let it be Google. However, I'd like some actual solution that stops this from happening if possible.

Thanks for the reply, it seems to have solved my issue.
My tabs are normal and unpinned, I just have Firefox set to open all my current tabs. Safe Mode didn't seem to have this issue, so I disabled Classic Theme Restorer. Several restarts didn't have problems, so I enabled it again and now this isn't happening anymore. Hopefully it stays gone for good and didn't just stop momentarily.
Edit. So as soon as I posted this, it started happening again. More testing definitely points to Classic Theme Restorer as the cause, so I'll have to investigate solutions on that end.

I HAVE LOST THE "CLOSE TAB" OPTION WHEN CLOSING A SCREEN THE SYSTEM WILL ONLY CLOSE BACK TO THE DESKTOP? RUSS

Hi,
When closing a screen I have, in the past, used the File button [top left] this produced the drop down menu, there was the option to "CLOSE TAB", which I used, this closed the screen but left Firefox open, this option has now disappeared, the only way I can close a screen now is to exit back to the Desktop and reopen Firefox.
Russ

Hi,
Thanks for the prompt response, unfortunately whilst the solution you proposed works on most tabs when I am down to the last one absolutely nothing I do will get rid of it, at present I cannot close the Mozilla Add-ons Manager tab. I have tried your suggestion followed by clicking the cross in the top right of the screen, I have also tried File and then exit. But when I next click onto the Mozilla icon it returns to the last tab shown on the screen.
Regards
Russ

It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is
there for. Also, check the programs that are on your computer
'''Windows > Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.'''
'''(Mac: Open the "Applications" folder)'''
Go thru the list and use a web search to check any that you don't
know what they are.

U/tube videos open when using Safari but will not open when using Firefox.

u/tube videos open fine when using Safari but will not open when using Firefox. With Firefox I get the unhighlighted Quicktime symbol with a question mark in the center. WHY?? Any help appreciated --- Toroya

Hmmmm, strange you view YouTube in Safari & not FF. Which version of FF are you using?
Try the following:
Repair permissions & restart.
Make sure you have the latest versions of Adobe Flash Player Software
QuickTime Preferences > Advanced > MIME Stettings > Miscellaneous.
Deactivate the "Flash Media" option.

How can I get the list view of tabs on the windows 7 taskbar exclusively and not just when I have a lot of tabs (over 13?) open at once?

How can I have tabs stack in the windows 7 taskbar before I have 13 tabs open?

Upgrade your browser to Firefox 8 and check
* getfirefox.com

I have a lot of tabs open and want them to open again

when I open Firefox. Can't find that setting

This is set in the same place you would set your home page.
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > General
Select among the options for "When Firefox starts"
Please note that occasionally something goes wrong and your saved session is lost. People who have reported this here (in very angry posts!) often refer to an update, either of Firefox or a third party application that uses the browser. To help protect against session loss, consider making regular backups of your active settings folder (Firefox profile folder) and also making use of the feature to Bookmark tabs.
* [[Backing up your information]]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)

I have two monitors and want to be able to direct which apps open on which monitor; how do I do that?

I just bought an iMac to replace my MacBook Pro, and now have my Cinema Display hooked into my iMac, giving me two monitors. I have them set up the way I want them, with one being the primary, the other secondary, and the placement is the way I want, but I'd like to be able to have my internet browser always open in my secondary display, while my calendar and email open on my primary monitor. Is there a way to instruct either the apps, or the hardware to make this happen?'
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Peter

I believe that if you drag an app window to the second monitor and quit it, the comptuer should rememebr its position there. I've done this on older Macs, putting palettes on the secondary and, when I relaunch the app, they stay on the secondary. The newest OS version for which I know this works was under 10.6.8 on a MacBook Pro.
Please tell us what Mac OSX version you have--it could make a difference.

The OE New Message box does not open when I click on an email address in Firefox. This is not a problem when I use MS Explorer. How can I fix it?

OE is set as my default email in both Firefox and Windows XP. When I click on an email address on a website within Firefox the OE page comes up but the OE New Message window does not open. When I go to the same webpage using MS Explorer and click on the same email the OE New message does open. Is there a bud in Firefox that prevents the OE New Message from opening? Is there a way I can fix it?

When I go to tools and select 'add-ons' nothing happens. In troubleshoot help it says I don't have any and when I try to install one nothing happens either. Never had this prob before... Any ideas??

Ok I just went to post this and it said it has not been asked before and asked me to log in with more info. The title says it all really. The option is there under tools and looks normal but it has no functionality.
My adblock plus is still blocking ads, so even though I can't see or access my add ons they are still working in the background.
I searched for add ons and tried to install one to see if it would open them up and restart firefox but once I selected 'install', again... nothing happens.
Has anyone else had this problem?

Try to uninstall the current Java version and maybe delete the Java installation folder (C:\Java) if that didn't work.
You can also use the JavaRa Uninstaller.

From which folder did you delete the extensions.* files?
Firefox should have recreated at least extensions.rdf.

HT3180 Ok, I got the Apple TV all hooked up. Im pretty handy and have a lot of experience putting electronics together, but this one has got me. I can not seem to get it to connect to my iTunes. Probably something running in the background.

Having problems with Home Sharing with the WiFi. Can not seem to get the Apple TV to connect to my iTunes. Must be something running in the background of the router or laptop. Need help.

Yes to all, however ive noticed when I turn on the itues Home Sharing, and it says it is on in the File pull down, it disapears from the Livrary pull down. I attempt to view my Library on my iPhone or iPad under the Remote app and it states i have no songs or content. Although it will let me mirror my device on the TV screen.

I have a lot of tabs opening when i open firefox which slows opening of firefox & nothing i do seems to help
