I have lost my browser window

After upgrading to 2.4, I lost my browser window. My computer is a Mac Book. An alternate browser has a browser window, but not Firefox, which is my preferred browser to use when teaching online.

Do you mean that you only get the Firefox menu bar?
You can check for problems caused by a corrupted localstore.rdf file.

I lost my browser window,

I lost my browser window, How can I get it back?

You can't close the browser window. You can close the event library. Is that what you mean? Shift-Cmd-1 opens and closes the library. If something else is happening, post a screen shot of what you're seeing.

Lost My Browser Window

I lost my browser window somehow and can't get it back.
I can't type in any addresses. This must be an easy fix.
Thanks

Mitch,
It may be as simple as going to Safari>View>Show Address Bar.
If that is not the solution you may want to try Safari>View>Customize Address Bar...>Drag your favorite item into the toolbar...(Address and Search)

Try here you'll need to download the software but it will be the latest version, should be better than that on the original cd.

I have lost safari browsing, reinstalled it, added update combo for lion and safari, now I don't have even have a drop down menu under my apppleon the top tool, sometimes no responses to anything....stange garbled messages....reset safari many times...

How do I know what I am running....how do I know if I stillave snow leaopard, after I bought the lion updade 29.99, safari stopped browisng....nothing is rigt, lost lots of fucnctions...don't know where my browser is, don't have a druop donw menu under apple on tolbar.
RE installed 105.1 (orsomething,my appleico is blank), reinstalled safari 5.1.1, will not browse or searc....history or topsites picture windows anymore.....alll Icando is browse withyahoo, which I don't want. I don't know what a gmail counter is, or why I have it all of a sudden, but can't get rid of it. Picasa rarel letmeclose it....what can I do?
No Dock an more either.
Preferences. or services under apple icon, ust startup disk, restart, shutdown.

What you're describing makes no sense; it's a jumble of thoughts and supposed actions, but no concrete information to tell us anything.
If you downloaded Lion, that would not cause what you describe. If you had Snow Leopard running when you downloaded Lion, that also wouldn't cause what you describe. So you had to ahve done something to end up in this state. You say you reinstalled 105.1, but there is no such thing; more likely you mean Mac OS X 10.5, in which case you've answered your own questionn about having Snow Leopard installed anymore.
But if you did that, the question is why? Unless there was something catastrophic wrong with Snow Leopard, there would be no reason to reinstall Leopard. You also describe browsing with Yahoo, but that's not possible because Yahoo is not a browser. The Dock also does not just go "missing".
You're going to need to reinstall Leopard using the Archive & Install option, and then install Snow Leopard to get back to a usable state. If you have a backup from prior to when all these problems began, that's good. If not, then you will have to take your chances on losing all your data if this doesn't work.
Startup from your Leopard disc (if your system came with Leopard), choose your language, and then start the install process. Be sure to choose Archive & Install and Preseve Users and Network Settings before you start the installation. When it's done, let it restart and then check to be sure everything is in working order. If it is, put the Previous Systems folder in the Trash and empty it.
Then download the 10.5.8 Combo Update from the Apple web site and apply it. Restart and check to be sure everything is working.
Post back when you've done that.

I have lost my last window of 61 tabs. Recently Closed Windows is greyed out. How do I restore my window?

RECENTLY CLOSED TABS doesn't offer what I need. And RECENTLY CLOSED WINDOWS is greyed out. Can't I roll back my Firefox to 2 days ago and recover my missing window with 61 tabs?

Your System Details list shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time Firefox starts.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there.
You can check its content with a plain text editor (right-click: Open with) if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
Your System Details list shows that you have preferences that were used in previous Firefox versions and that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.
You can cleanup the prefs to have a fresh start and delete possible user.js and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)

Open New Browser Window Behavior Issue

I've got a site that has a list of names of deceased people.
When a viewer clicks on a name I have a new browser window open
that is a small memorial page specific for that person. This list
is fairly long so the viewer has to scroll down a ways to get to
the bottom. If the viewer clicks a name towards the bottom and then
closes that new browser window they have to scroll all the way back
down and find where they left off. This of course, is assuming they
are going in order to view the memorial pages for each person. Is
there a way to make the "original page (with the list of names)"
not refresh to the top of the page? I'm using and would like to
continue using tables and not layers or styles.
Information can be sent onto [email protected]
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Cody

Safari 3.0.4 on OS 10.5.1 not crashing but browser windows DISAPPEAR! Help!

I know there is a thread in the beta forum with a generic title "Safari acting strange" but I figured a more specific thread title might get more attention from those experiencing the same anomalies.
Here is my problem:
I'm using Safari 3.0.4 that came with the Leopard 10.5 disk I installed on my laptop. Safari was working fine for a good couple weeks and then suddenly it began acting strange indeed.
Now after an undetermined amount of time when I have a Safari browser window(s)/tab(s) open it will suddenly disappear off my screen without provocation (meaning I don't have to perform any action to do this. I can be sitting there not touching the laptop or typing anything; it will just disappear as if some unseen person with a remote control hits the Let's-mess-with-this-guy's-computer button). At first glance it seems that Safari has crashed.
However when I look to see what happened or perhaps relaunch I see that Safari is still up and running. The menu bars all work. It seems to be in perfect working order. Only problem is the browser windows have disappeared and nothing I do will bring them back. I can try to create new browser windows and Safar thinks it is creating them because I can check in Windows menu and see the fruits of my efforts stacking up more and more as I add new windows and tabs in an attempt to get the browser windows back. However where these windows live is a mystery to me. When I try to quit Safari I get an Alert message asking me if I really want to close the windows with the multiple tabs in them (further supporting the theory that Safari still thinks windows are open and seeable by me)
When I DO quit Safari and relaunch it, it remains in the same state. No browser window is seen yet looking in the Windows menu I can see that a new browser window is present. The only way to use my Safari again is to reboot my computer. Of course this fixes the problem for maybe 5 minutes until the browser windows disappear again. And that's when I switch to Firefox.
I've repaired permissions. I've checked for any Input Managers folder for culprits but seeing as this is a fairly new laptop and that I just did an Archive and Install of Leopard with a fresh Safari in toe I have not installed any 3rd party applications so no Input Managers folder exists anywhere on my laptop.
I have the standard Safari Plug-Ins that come with Quicktime.
I have Spaces turned off. I am not using dual monitors so the browser windows are not being shot off to a second screen somewhere.
I see nothing in the crashlog because I actually don't think Safari is treating this behavior as a crash. It's not quitting unexpectedly or anything.
So I am at a total loss. Any ideas?

I had this problem as well.
First: In Safari go into preferences and select the "security" tab. Uncheck "Enable Plug-ins"
This fixed a lot of bugs for me !
Second: If that worked than you just need to go to Hard Drive/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
There should be a folder there that is called "Disabled Plug-Ins" I just put all of the plug-ins in that folder, went back and rechecked " Enable Plug-Ins" in Safari preferences, and then one by one added plug-ins back out of the disabled folder while reloading a web page that caused problems before. After some trial & error I think I have a setup that works for now. Hope this helps!! Also as of now I have installed all software updates. My mac has been doing this for a while. Logging out & back in reset safari back to where it was useable.
I have not had problems with any other programs.

Adobe Reader in browser window disappearing-need help

I have created a word document (WD1) containing links to other word documents (WD2, WD3, etc). I then turned WD1 into a .pdf file. I then upload this .pdf file to a web page. I go to this webpage and click the link to open the WD1.pdf file. When I click the WD1.pdf link on the webpage, a new browser window opens with Adobe reader in it displaying WD1.pdf. so far so good. Now when I click on the links to WD2 or WD3, these links open in Word and the correct files display, but the browser window containing WD1.pdf file disappears (thats the best way to describe it) and the first webpage is still open.
What I am trying to achieve is to have the second browser window stay open so the trainees using this web page will be able to click on the other references on the .pdf to get to all of the links without having to re-open it each time.
I have Researched in help and web forums, the only reference I can find is to uncheck the box next to Open cross-documents in the same window in preferences in Adobe. Which I have done and restarted my computer. I also noticed a preference show each document in its own window which is checked.
Here is the other rub, I have a desktop computer (OS is XP) and a laptop (OS is vista). I have Adobe 8.1.2 installed on both. The laptop with vista works the way I would like. But the desktop computer with XP does not. I did have Adobe 7.0.9 on the desktop but when it did do what I wanted I upgraded to 8.1.2 and it still isnt working. The real problem is that most of the trainees will be using their work computers with XP. I dont know even know if there is any significance in this observation or not. But thought I would throw it out there.
Does anyone have any suggestions of things I could try or know of any solutions? Please help.

There is a technology on Labs called BrowserLab that is designed to assist with browser compatibility. Is this question regarding BrowserLab or is the question more general?

Open new browser window after insert

I am having a problem with form data being errased when users
go back to a form after after the insert command. I have been
trying to get the insertGoTo page to be opened in a new browser
window. The tail end of the insert command code looks as follows.
$Result1 = mysql_query($insertSQL, $squirrelcart) or
die(mysql_error());
$insertGoTo = "new_page.php";
if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
$insertGoTo .= (strpos($insertGoTo, '?')) ? "&" : "?";
$insertGoTo .= $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
header(sprintf("Location: %s", $insertGoTo));
I have tried modifying the page name to:
$insertGoTo ="MM_openBrWindow('new_page.php','page_name','
This didn't work. Any suggestions on how to put the new_page
in its own window, or is there a way to suppress the form page
reload when going back ?

Open new browser window without bookmark

when i open a new browser window (from a bookmark or using cnt N) it opens with the list of my bookmarks along the left side of the screen forcing me to x out of the bookmark list so i can have a full browser window page.
how can i get new pages to open without the list of bookmarks on the left side of the screen?
thanks,
todd

You can create a javascript to window.open having toobar, menubar or statusbar=0. The page content can be customized per need. Call this javascript from a link or button click using javascript:popup_window();
For example,
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function popup_window()
w = window.open("", "Window", "width=320,height=400,status=0,toolbar=0,menubar=0");
w.document.write('<html><head><title>Help Window</title>');
w.document.write('</head><body>');
w.document.write('<div><font face="Arial" size="2">This is help page.');
w.document.write('</font></div><p>');
w.document.write('<div><font face="Arial" size="1"><a href="javascript:window.close();">Close This Window</a></font></div><p>');
w.document.write('</body></html>');
</script>Ittichai

Dynamic browser window title

Dear all
In my Forms10g deployment, I have a unique browser window title for each separate form (i.e. one value of pagetitle per form in formsweb.cfg).
If form A calls form B, and then control returns to form A, is it possible to dynamically alter the browser window title, perhaps by referring to the called form's entry in formsweb.cfg?
Many thanks in advance.

Check out webutil for this.

Open browser window resizing problem

I want to have a small browser window open on top of my main
browser page. The open browser window behavior sizing is not
working. The window remains in the default size. So I added this
java script to the page I want to be smaller
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript1.2">
self.resizeTo(400,600);
</SCRIPT>
This did make the window size small, but when returning to
the main browser window that window is now the same small size as
the smaller window.
Now what.
thanks, cyndee

Add a ... ;return false ... to the end of the
MM_openBrWindow() event
call as in the example below... Make sure you place a
semicolon between the
end of the event call and the return false.
<span class="link"><a
href="Gourd%20Purchasing%20Policies.html"
onClick="MM_openBrWindow('Gourd%20Purchasing%20Policies.html','gourdpurchasingpo
licies','width=560,height=770');return false">Purchasing
Policies</a></span><br>
