I just installed ff 4, impossible to open in a new window its always showing blank

- open in a new tab no issue, open in new window : blank - windows xp sp3 - Some say its the google toolbar , I cant imagine firefox team is not fixing this- Anybody knows a fix ?

In case anyone is following this thread, I've determined that in my case, the problem is definitely caused by an extension (Roboform).
Here is a reproduction scenario:
1. Search for sessionstore.js somewhere in your Windows Profile, and delete it.
2. Start FF.
3. Middle-click your Home button twice, creating three tabs with your home page in them (in my case, Google)
4. Close and re-open FF. It opens correctly, restoring the three tabs.
5. Left-drag one of the tabs off the tab header, which should open the tab in a new window. A new window opens, but it is blank.
6. Close the new window, then close the existing window. By closing the new (blank) window first, it should cause it to not be saved in the session.
7. Open FF again. Two windows are created: one with two tabs, each with your home page, and one with a single tab with nothing in it.
If you repeat step 5, even if you close the new window each time, an additional window is created each time you start FF. This also applies to creating new windows via Ctrl-N, or by right-clicking a link and clicking "Open in New Window".
By disabling Roboform browser integration, the problem goes away. I'm about to email the Roboform people now...

Open in a new window is no longer usable in v4.0.1

After installing v4.0.1 the open in a new window function no longer works properly. A new window is opened, but where the bookmarks toolbar should be displayed it shows a blank line. The navigation toolbar is displayed, but does not function. If I click on links in the displayed page the URL in the navigation toolbar does not change to reflect the new page I am seeing. The reload button in the navigation toolbar will not reload the page.

Try:

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.

Open link in new window inSafari 5.0.1

Without doing anything I know of I no longer have "OPEN LINK IN NEW TAB" when I right click over a link. Also when I right click "OPEN LINK IN NEW WINDOW" I get a blank TAB that says "UNTITLED".
Thanks for any help

HI,
From your Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Empty Cache.
Relaunch Safari.
If that didn't make a difference, troubleshoot the Safari .plist file.
Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Now launch Safari. If Tabs work as they should, them move the .plist file to the Trash.

For some reason if I click a link that needs to open in a new window, the new window is blank. This just started happening when firefox updated itself last time

Ever since firefox automatically updated itself, I am not able to open websites in new windows - meaning that if I am on a website and you click a link on it that opens in a new window, that new window is blank. It used to work perfectly. I even checked my foxit reader and that it working well

Hello Angelika.
I should bring your attention to the fact that your user agent says you're using Firefox 3.6, not 3.0. I will remind you that Firefox 3.0 has been discontinued and is no longer supported. Furthermore, it has known bugs and security problems.
As for your problem, you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

Have CC programs installed already, but when I open Creative Cloud app Manager it only shows CS6?

Have CC programs installed already, but when I open Creative Cloud app Manager it only shows CS6?

OK thanks - I tried that, would not let me remove the OPM.db file as in solution 2, i uninstalled CS6 versions, i uninstalled Creative Cloud desktop app and then downloaded latest and installed - however, with continual workload, I am not about to remove all Adobe software as suggested in Solution 4! Even in the Creative Cloud app where it shows install new apps, there are only CS6 versions showing?
I have just uninstalled creative cloud app manager again - go to download latest version and the message is - we are currently experiencing problems, please try again later.

When I click on a link within a website to open a document (word, excel etc.), Firefox doesn't open it. Even when I tell it to open in a new window, it just opens a blank tab labeled "untitled."

When I try to click on a link to a document within a website, that document doesn't open like it should. For instance, if I go to the census website and click on a link to open an excel spreadsheet, Firefox doesn't do it. It usually does nothing; if I tell it to open in a new window or tab, it just opens a tab labeled "untitled" that ends up being a blank page.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== 2 months ago?

Go to Tools->Options->Apps
Here you should see two columns: Content Type on the left, Actions on the right.
Find and select excel spreadsheet or any other content type in the left column. There should be a corresponding action in the right column. What is it? You can use the drop-down list to select the option you want:
Always Ask - Firefox will ask each time: What do you want to do with this file?
Save file - Firefox will save this file to your computer
Use - Firefox will give this file to the program to open it
In case of saving, Firefox will either prompt you every time where you want the file to be saved, or save it to the default location. It depends on the preference in
Tools->Options->General->Download

With Mavericks I have to hold command key down and double click to get a sub folder to open in a new window. Can I go back to just double clicking ?

Of course. To do it, open a Finder window, go to Finder menu (on the menu bar) > Preferences > General, and untick "Open folders in tabs instead of new windows".

When I open a link in a website it opens as a new window instead of just staying on the same page

In any website, when I click on a link it opens in a new window.this even occurs in google when I click any of the results it opens in a new window instead of just staying on the same page.tabs work fine however, it is just links on websites.

Did you check the search settings on the Google Search Settings page?
* http://www.google.com/preferences?hl=en
''Where results open: Open search results in a new browser window.''
You can set the browser.link.open_newwindow pref to 1 to open links by default in the current tab.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow (3)
You can set this pref to 0 (zero) to do this for all widows opened via JavaScript.

That's consistent with trouble with the Segoe UI fonts on your system.
If you're using Windows XP or Windows Vista, try Vortical's technique from the following post:

When I click on a web link and hold down ctrl the page will not open into a new tab, it is just opening in a new window. How do I correct this?

When I use to hold down the ctrl key and left click on a web link, the page use to open into a new tab. For some reason this is not working anymore. Instead when I hold down the ctrl key and left click on a web link, the link will open into a new window. How do I fix this?

I figured out how to correct it. Not sure what exactly was happening. But I started into private browsing and then turned it off. It's been working correctly ever since I did private browsing.

When I click on something to open, it gives me a prompt to open link in new window and i want it just to open, how do i do that?

When I am searching the web and i click on a link it prompts me whether i want to open in a new window. I used to click and it would take me right to the place i wanted to be. how do i get that setting again? I have since gone into preferences and told it to automatically open in tabs(?) but I am not sure how this works. Thanks for your help.

Iss it possible that you are "right clicking" on the mouse? Go to System Preferences / Mouse and check the settings there are correct?

I want all pages to open in a new window when I click on a link, and do not want tabs.

I just downloaded Firefox on my Mac laptop. I don't like using tabs, but prefer new web pages to open in a new window. What command do I use to achieve that?

Look at:

I can not open one more new window of FF by double-clicking on FF icon

I can open only 1 browser window FF
I want to open another.
- I can open by selecting NEW WINDOW from the file menu. It's normal.
- But I can't open by double-clicking on FF icon. The message happens in this case: "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."
Before double-clicking on FF, I checked processs at Task Manager and just one process "firefox.exe" is running.
I try many ways to troubleshoot this problem such as:
- install FF again
- run safe mode
- Update all add-on
- add new profile in Profile manager and run with new one
- I follow the anwser of post: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/770203
But can't fix this problem.
I'm looking forward to your earliest reply
Thank so much

There is the Free iTube Grabber which can capture almost any audio and/or video stream (it says here) but only works with Intel Macs.
http://itube-grabber.en.softonic.com/mac
Firefox Download Helper is also supposed to work, you have to be logged into YouTube first.
There is also iTubeX which allows you to download videos (Flash, HTML5 and others), .mp3 and .swf files from almost every website as easily as possible:
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/27604/itubex
Lastly: How to download Flash videos and play them in Quicktime using Perian is explained here:
http://perian.org/#watch
It's the video at the bottom of the page.
Last but not least (as some of the above may not work with Snow Leopard or Lion) there is the 'pwn trick':
For example, the full youtube site for your movie is:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bC2XIGMI ... e=youtu.be
As soon as the movie starts, pause it and add 'pwn' in front of the youtube part of the url so it looks like this:
http://www.pwnyoutube.com/watch?v=bC2XI ... e=youtu.be
Hit Return and then follow the instructions.
