I have an iMac, version 10.8.5 and can no longer open a new private window.

I am using Firefox 25.0.1 and my OS is up to date.
A few days ago, I could no longer open a new private window.
When I click on that tab, I get a new open window.
When you reply, please keep in mind that I am not computer literate and would appreciate a non-technical answer.
Thanks.

Make sure your not using private browsing mode by default
check whether private browser is opening or not
*by holding the '''SHIFT + CMD + P''' key.

  • I have just updated to Firefox v 6.0.2 and can no-longer open web links from Windows Live Mail 2011 (Bld 15.4.3538).

    Shutting down programmes and rebooting computer did not help. Launching web links from Live Mail has never been a problem before. Error message reads " There was a problem sending the command to the program"

    Firefox 3.6.4 and 3.6.6 use a process called, "plugin-container.exe" which was using up most of my CPU when I opened up multiple tabs that contained Adobe Flash files, and caused Firefox to lock up.
    My solution was to use Firefox 3.5.10 which you can get from the Mozilla website at [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html]
    I am using Adobe Flash 10.1.53.64 without any problem in this version of Firefox. Check the release notes, I believe it contains all the latest security fixes in "Firefox 3.6.4".
    Hopefully, they will fix Firefox 3.6 in the next version (e.g. Firefox 3.6.7), until then you should probably use "Firefox 3.5.10".

    Install it directly from Adobe. Ensure that you use the uninstaller before installing.

    I have updated to version 11 of itunes and now it wont open comes up with comment saying it is not installed correctly or corrupt. Help

    A complete uninstall/reinstall is worth a crack with that one:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

    Hello anyone with Windows 7, not sure why having followed instructions above, install of latest version of itunes won't work and can no longer open old version either.  anyone help with this?

    Hi,
    thanks for your reply.
    Yes, except n°1 - empty Temp directory, I had tried/checked all of those.
    I emptied the local temp folder tonight, but it still won't work.
    Please note: the installation doesn't give me any problem. The program was working fine, until at one point *plouf* it stopped working. I can re-install it without any problem, it just crashes when opening.
    \\edit\\ I seem to have located the problem, it's in the library files. If I re-install iTunes without my library, it works fine (though there is no music in it, yet). As soon as I import my library, or replace the My Music\iTunes folder with the old one, it stops working.

    I have Adobe Reader Version 11.0.03 on a new iMac OSX Version 10-8.4 and can't open PDFs.  Here's the message I get:  "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."   Any help would be appreciated!

    What buttons do you get to click on with this message? What browser are you using (e.g. Safari, Chrome, Internet Explorer...)

  • Problems installing OS  I have an iMac 21.5 (Mid-2010) and in trying to load a new hard drive, after choosing the installation disk the apple logo comes up and then stops and the keyboard and mouse goes dead.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks

    Problems installing OS
    I have an iMac 21.5 (mid-2010) and I'm trying to install a new hard drive.  When I choose the installation disk the Apple logo comes up and it stops there.  Then the mouse and keyboard goes dead.  I'm trying to install 10.6.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks

    Since you have a new hard drive, there is nothing on it, so you need to boot from an external source (and probably format the hard drive before installing an OS). Are you booting from the 10.6 install disk? Better yet - do you have a bootable backup clone or at least a Time Machine backup?

  • I have an iMac, version OS X Lion and iMovie 11, version 9.0.8 (1778). iMovie keeps quitting. Won't allow me to export to iDVD to burn a disk. Out of ideas. Lots of time into the project.

    My iMovie app will just quit for no reason. It doesn't loose my data but it's a pain. Now that I have finished my picture project, I want to export it to iDVD so I can burn a disk. iMovie just quits, no matter how I try to export the project. Does anyone know how to fix this problem??
    I have a lot of time into this project and would hate to loose it. But if anybody knows of a really good app for making picture and video CD/DVDs (that doesn't quit every time you turn around) I would love to know about it.
    thank you,

    Hi babowa,
    I tried sending my project the way you said. I got the message that it would take about 15 minutes to do this. Then the program quit again. No 30 seconds after I tried to send it.
    I just spoke with a tech from Apple and he say there is a glitch in my project. He had me try to send a different project using Quick Time and it went right through. He say I will have to build a whole me project and I'll just have to hope it doesn't have a glitch in it. Not what I wanted to here, I have a lot of hours in this project.
    Thank you for trying.
    I am still open to suggestions for a different app. Preferably one that works

  • Using Firefox 5 in Windows 7, once I have Firefox open, I can no longer open a new window using the start button. How do I fix?

    As I stated, I have Windows 7 on my laptop and have installed Firefox 5. I sometimes like to have multiple windows of the browser open. But, unlike any previous version of Firefox, now when I have the browser open, when I try to open a new window using the Start menu, it will not open one. I have to use Ctrl+N. Why did this change?
    This may seem insignificant but it really hampers my work flow. For one, with other applications, Shift+N is what opens a new window. For two, I've been doing with with my browsers for years now and it's like second nature for me - having to remember that in Firefox it's Ctrl+N is a pain in my tuccus.
    Firefox is my go to browser and I would like it to stay that way. Please find the solution for me! I have tried looking using Tools, Options, as well as looking at my start menu and taskbar options, and no dice.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • I am having trouble with my almost 4 yr old iMac (version 10.6.8) and am thinking about getting a "new" Mac but I like my 21" screen.

    Would it be  possible to hook up a Mac Mini or laptop to my iMac's screen?  Thanks.

    Have you reset the SMC?
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord.
    Wait fifteen seconds.
    Attach the computer's power cord.
    Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
    While you're at it, resetting the PRAM won't hurt anything and 'might' help is SMC reset didn't work (PRAM does some port control):
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    Something else you might try .... you don't say how you're updating to 10.6.8, however, if you're using Software Update, you might try downloading the 10.6.8 combo update, which contains all updates to 10.6. Sometimes, Software Update doesn't work quite right, and installing the combo update fixes that. Download the update from Apple's download site at http://support.apple.com/downloads/ , using Disk Utility repair permissions, apply the combo update, then repair permissions again.

  • I have an iMac with 10.5.8 and can't download new softwear for iTunes with it.  What to do?

    On the support page, I can't tell what I need to download so I can continue to sync my iPhone properly.  I have the new OS on my phone, now it doesn't work with iTunes on my iMac. 

    If you have a PowerPC Mac, no further upgrades are available.
    If you have an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.
