I have a number of tabs opened in a window and i have grouped them.Is there any add-on or extension so that i can hide it or secure it or lock that tab group ?

My laptop is being shared by others...so when others open the firefox page they can see all the tabs opened in a window or a tabgroup.i want o hide the tabgroup or secure tha tabs in a window by creating a passoword so that the others dont get the chance to view the tabs that i was browsing and so they have to open a new window and thus all the information in my tabs is safe and still are open even if they close their new window after their browsing.

hello, when you're using a shared computer a better option would be to create separate (password-protected) windows accounts for each user - then each one would have her/his own firefox profile...

Having multiple tabs open in one window, and then opening a new window and closing it, will close the newly opened window, but it will want to close the other original window with the multiple tabs as well.

This only happens if the original window has multiple tabs, and the new window has only ONE tab at the moment you close it.
Also, the problem only occurs when TWO windows of firefox are open. So opening up a 3rd window, and then closing it, will not give you any problems. The interaction occurs between two windows of firefox only.

This can happen if you drag a tab slightly down in the browser window while clicking.
Firefox has a feature called tear-off tabs
You can detach a tab from the current window and open it in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window.
You can also do this via the right-click context menu of a tab: Move to New Window
You can drag that tab back to the tab bar in the original window to undo that detaching.

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

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

I think there is a bug in safari......Whenever i swipe my fingers for going to the previous page on safari the tabs open get hanged up and i have to restart safari.This is a serious issue.!

Serious issue.....

Might be a Safari extension issue...
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

I have a 2nd gen airport extreme (no time capsule) and 2nd gen airport expresses: is there any new additons I can make to my existing network to improve reach and integrity of signal?

I have the older airport extreme and 2 2nd gen airport expresses in a large house. Lately I have been getting complaints about internet "drop out" and weak signal (orange signal - weak network) in one (oddly enough the nearest one to my extreme). What can I do to insure network and internet integrity going forward. Do I buy a new a. extreme and convert the old one (how is also a question)? Do I buy new expresses? (and why) Do I move the original express out of room and get longer internet cable? Extreme is upstairs in a split level and must remain there because of proximity to modem and its connection to security. The "working" express is all the way on the other side of the house through 2 concrete walls and does ok - though signal is understandable week. The nearer one with the "problems" is at the foot of the stairs less than 50 feet away, behind an always closed door (not tested-belongs to teenager voicing complaints). Incidentally the other bedroom directly across from the closed door one, houses a temporary adult child at home who has no problems with their lap top (2nd gen macbook) and signal.

There is no easy answer to your question, but here are some things to think about.
The newest generation of airport extremes and expresses are dual-band devices. they transmit on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies. the 2.4 GHz frequency penetrates walls better than the 5 GHz frequency which is faster in terms of data throughput. they also have improved antennas which may help your signal problems. unfortunately the only way to be sure would be trial and error you can also walk around with a laptop and monitor the signal strength to see where you have dropouts and consider repositioning your express devices to compensate .

New tabs open in new window or in a pre-existing window that was not currently being used.

What has been happening is that I was running two windows of Firefox at the same time and when trying to open a new tab, the new tab would open in the window that I wasn't currently using. Afterwards I closed one window and upon trying to open links in a new tab, instead it would open a new window.
I have checked the option settings that opening a new window would open a new tab instead is on, which it is.

This can also be a bug.

I have 2 copies of Firefox open (two different windows with lots of tabs), if I reboot can I restore both sessions?

I have 2 copies of Firefox open (two different windows with lots of tabs), if I reboot can I restore both sessions? I am familiar with clicking history/ restore previous session, but don't want to reboot to let windows update to do it's thing unless I can restore both sessions.

If they are running different profiles, then yes.

I accidently closed my window with all my app tabs, now the only window that opens was a 2nd one I had open. How do I get back all my app tabs from the previous window, and why didn't it give me the usual warning you are closing more than one tab?

Then the (App) tabs from that window are lost unless you can restore an older copy of the sessionstore.js file (Time Machine?) that has that lost window.

Tab opens in new window by itself

I have several tabs open that I switch between, one of them being Facebook, and that is the only one that ever gives me issues. Sometimes when switching between tabs, the Facebook tab pulls itself out of the group, and into it's own new window, and I have to put it back. Nothing is broken really, it's just damned annoying

Make sure that you do not drag a tab in the browser window. 
Firefox 3.5 versions and later have a feature called tear-off tabs. 
You can detach a tab from the current window and open it in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window. 
You can drag that tab back to the tab bar in the original window to undo that detaching.

When I open a separate window and start private browsing my main window closes and I lose all of my app tabs

whenever I open a new window and do private browsing it closes my main window and I loose all of my app tabs. If this is functioning as designed then it is a flaw in the design.

It is designed that way. When you stop private browsing, all of your other tabs will come back.

Disabling opening of multiple windows and tabs

Hi experts,
do we have any option to disable opening of multiple windows and tabs. Like making end user to use single window browser to do all operations.
Regards
Govardan Raj S

HI Rajendra ,
Actually if end user access the portal in a browser window , and if he opens another window i.e file->new window --- same portal applications will open in the new window with the same credentials and hence here i should either restrict him or log off the user in both windows.

Firefox opens a new window and moves the active tab to it. How do I stop this?

Got multiple tabs open. Firefox suddenly closes the tab I'm working on (this seems to happen when I'm scrolling) and moves it to a new window, shifting the focus to a previously inactive tab. What a swell feature! How can I get rid of it?

When I open a new tab, an unwanted website opens instead of my desired home page. THIS IS ONLY AN ISSUE WITH NEW TABS; (opening the web browser AND clicking on the home button frings me to my desired home page.)

My tabs are all empty even though I have FF 29.0.1 set to save windows and tabs when closing

I have the setting: Startup - When firefox starts - show windows and tabs from last time.
This almost always works, but not today. The odd thing is that all the tabs are still there, including the pinned ones on the left (square empty boxes), but all the tabs are blank ("New tab").
Except one that appeared on startup, the one that was active when i closed FF last night.
If I click on History - Show all history = No items.
Restore previous session is greyed out, as are Recently closed tabs and windows.
It looks bad, what can I do to restore the previous session?
How would this have happened, and how can I prevent it in future?
Did the last FF update (today or yesterday) have anything to do with it?
There is a sessionstore.bak-[long string of numbers] dated 8/2/14, and a sessionstore.js dated 9/5/14, and a sessioncheckpoints,json dated 9/4/14 in the Profile default folder.

I'm a little puzzled that your post shows Firefox 29.0.1 but you said you updated this week (Firefox 32.0 was released this week). ???
One of your settings is '''places.history.enabled''' = false, which could be a problem for saving history. I'm not sure how that could have gotten switched. Could you check here:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Privacy
Under "Firefox will: Use custom settings for history" make sure you have the settings you want.
Note: I think I have read that if Firefox is set to clear history at shutdown, then Firefox might not save any history during your session.
Can you find an Old Firefox Data folder on your desktop? If the Reset feature ran, your old data would be in that folder and we could discuss how to restore them.

I have a number od cds referring to X-rays and MRI scans which played perfectly on my old PC, but now that I've migrated to an imac none of them will open. Any suggestions? I am anything but an expert.

Hi anybody,
I have a number of cds referring to X-rays and MRI scans taken over the last few years, and I used to be able to open them on my old PC, but having recently migrated to an imac none of these will open. Any suggestions to a complete non-expert in the mac world would be greatly appreciated.

Another thought, if they're just typical image files like jpegs, or PDFs or some other universal file format. Have a friend with a windows computer copy the contents of the CDs to an external media source (flash drive, external HDD etc) and copy them to your mac.
If they were burned by the medical staff to be ran as a program then they may not be comptable with Mac OS. If this is the case see about having a friend copy the images for you.

I have a number of tabs opened in a window and i have grouped them.Is there any add-on or extension so that i can hide it or secure it or lock that tab group ?
