I just reinstalled firefox, when I open new tabs it opens internet explorer, but the firefox ICON is in the top left

Do you have an extension like IE View or IE Tab that opens pages in Firefox sing IE as the rendering engine?

Hello,
''jstavene wrote:''
can find nothing under the tools menu for private browsing?
Then it's not the same issue.
If Firefox is set to '''Never remember history''', then you're in “permanent private browsing” mode, in which case the menu item ''Stop Private Browsing'' will be grayed out. Perhaps that's the case, and you don't find the menu item easy to see?
* [[Settings for privacy, browsing history and do-not-track]]
If that's not the case, then menu items can be hidden using the userChrome.css file. Check if it exists, and if it's there, rename it, then restart Firefox.

In Firefox Nightly (what will become Firefox 20), per-window private browsing has been added, so the menu item under the Tools menu is gone. It's been replaced by New Private Window under the File menu. I don't suppose it's very likely that you're using such a cutting-edge test version of Firefox though.
If that doesn't solve the problem, since it's a different issue, it would be best if you would ask a new question.

I created a web page in MS Word and saved it as html; it has lots of graphics; the graphics load perfectly in Internet Explorer but in Firefox there is simply white space where the graphics should appear

The web page is not live: I just load it on my computer. When I convert the .docx file to .html, the graphics are saved by MS Word in the usual folder as image001.png, up to image032.png.
I'm sure this is a trivial problem but I can't crack it.
Many thanks. RS

Does that "local" page work in Internet Explorer, but not Firefox?
If so, it might be a \ vs. / problem with the file path for those images.

Open tab doesn't work when hitting the + or going to file, open new tab. automatic ones will work, but not manually.

does not open tabs by hitting the + or by selecting file, open new tab. i am operating under mac os x software and have updated firefox twice now with no resolution to this issue.

Many users have discovered this problem (in Firefox 30 and higher) is caused by Conduit add-ons, such as a Conduit plugin and/or a "Community Toolbar" extension.
You can check for and disable extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Command+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
(1) In the left column, click Plugins. Set nonessential plugins to "Never Activate".
(2) In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Does that help with the "+" button? If so, could you name the specific plugin/extension that caused the problem?

When I open new tabs, they open to Pogo search powered by Yahoo search and not to my home page, so how do I fix that?

I downloaded a game from Pogo and since then, when I open a new tab, instead of going to my home page, it goes to a Yahoo search page. I can't figure out how to change that, but it is very annoying.

That issue can be caused by the Freeze.com NetAssistant extension

Open new tab now opens a new window every time

Every time I try to open a new tab in my browser - either by using the keyword shortcut or the option under the file menu it just opens a new window.
This must be a bug in the new Firefox as I just upgraded and it is a new issue.
Very annoying!
Does anyone have a work around until Firefox sort this out?
Thanks
Joel

I can open my yahoo mail in internet explorer but I canot open in mozill firefox why?

give me error 404

Hello,
Try '''Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)
You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled... '''menu item while Firefox is running.
Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"
'''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-extensions-themes-to-fix-problems Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems] article for that.
To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.
Thank you.

URL links provided in emails (Windows Mail) stopped working. I get a popup message: "Windows cannot find...." asking me to make the URL is correct. I connect to Internet Explorer, but not Firefox, my default browser.

I have already updated Firefox to latest version and reset the default mail program to Windows Mail. But Windows Mail now doesn't want to recognize Firefox. If I shift to Internet Explorer, I have no problem. I have no problem receiving or sending emails, just using links contained in them.
This happened suddenly, two days ago, at the end of a day when linking had been possible, per usual.

nothing that I could find would solve my problem, so I just gave up trying...
then I had a group of Microsoft Updates badly interact with each other, causing me all kinds of stability problems involving SQL and printer drivers.
To fix those issues, I backed out all updates within the prior two months, then [slowly and painfully!] reinstalled them -- when done in groups, you can tell how Microsoft corrects bad updates by noting which ones are not reinstalled.
I also had to download and install every single MS SQL update available before everything that was broken worked again. Note that none of the updates had titles that suggested anything at all to do with web browsing (other than Internet Explorer) or Firefox.
There was also at least one Firefox update shortly after my re-installation of Windows Updates.
Funny thing happened along that path: as of today (version 32.0.1) has none of the problems I reported, but I cannot say for certain which change fixed them: I was far more concerned fixing SQL and printer issues to even test Firefox for default file association settings.
Sorry that I cannot be more useful, other than the general suggestions to:
(1) keep your system fully updated with all patches
(2) keep your anti-virus, anti-malware, and anti-spybot software current as well
(3) keep any program that uses HTML and other browser protocols also up to date
(4) take regular snapshots of your registry, and create a system restore point before every system and software update, so you can more easily back out problems
(5) keep the installation package(s) for prior version(s) of software (and Windows Update files) at least until you verify an update hasn't broken anything.
Hope that helps.

Unable to use all the feature of my email service (Juno on the web) like; font size/color, bolding, italics, highlighting etc why? Those features work through Internet Explorer but not Firefox.

When I go to my Juno on the web through Firefox, I am unable to use the tool features such as:
Font size / Color
Bolding
Italics
Bullets
Highlighting
just to name a few. Yet when I bring it up through Internet Explorer these features work, plus the way Firefox reads my Juno the tabs are distorted (the page is not formatted correctly, I contacted Juno they said I should contact my modem company AT& T they said no so you are my last resort.. Please help resolve my issue, THANK YOU in advance for assisting with this matter.

It is up to Juno to enable Midas, the Rich Text Editor which is built into Firefox, with one little line of code on every web page that has RTE for IE. There's nothing that you can do to turn that feature on your self, it has to be coded on each web page that has Rich Text Editing.
http://www.mozilla.org/editor/midas-spec.html 
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Midas
Their ignorance probably lies with their staff programmers only knowing how to do it for IE ''(their training and certificates are probably from the Microsoft cabal)'', and not realizing that Gecko and WebKit apps each have their own Rich Text Editor's, which require their own small line of code to enable those Editor's.

Symbols show up in Internet Explorer but not Firefox, how do I fix this?

Symbols like ♡ or ★ (both of which I copy and pasted and can't see at all, they are just empty spaces without hex codes). I've installed the dejavu and symbola fonts but most symbols still do not show up. I tried checking on Internet Explorer and they show up there but not on Firefox, is there some way to fix this? Thank you.

Having this problem too. I just purchased a new laptop 2-3 weeks ago: Windows 7, 64-bit, currently running FF 7.0.1. Both IE9 and Chrome display with no trouble.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unicode_characters
Most of the language tables are fine and the hex code boxes show up like they should for fonts I don't have versus just being blank. I see a TON of blank cells once I get to the Mathematical Operators table (~20% filled). Geometric Shapes is pretty sparse and there's almost nothing in Dingbats. I've verified that these are not blank in other browsers.
Is this likely a FF7 bug? My previous laptop had no issues displaying these characters and I don't think I had updated from FF6 before switching to the new laptop.

Flex Plugin that calls Webservice works in Internet Explorer but not firefox

I created a simple flex plugin that consumed a web service i
built and was working with it locally. I uploaded the files to the
server, and when i test the file out in internet explorer, the
plugin loads great. However when firefox or any other browser
attempts to load the same file i get "Http Request Error"? I've got
a crossdomain.xml loaded up.. here it is:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy
SYSTEM "
http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*" secure="false" />
</cross-domain-policy>
Any ideas? Thanks. I should note that the webservice and the
plugin are both on the same domain.

I was playing around some more, when i yank the
crossdomain.xml, both browsers display a security error, but when i
put it back in, internet explorer is happy but firefox still spits
out "Http Request Error"

FF was updated automatically to FF12 version. After that doesn't open New Tab. When i trying to open new tab, allways opens NEW WINDOW!!!

Described in troubleshooting Information section.

according to your submitted information you have a plugin called "DictionaryBoss Installer Plugin Stub for 32-bit Windows" installed on your system, which sounds rather phishy. can you link that to any software you've installed intentionally?
try to uninstall all toolbars from tools > addons manager > extensions and from the windows control panel & see if the problem persists.
you might also want to give your system a full scan for malware with the free tool from [www.malwarebytes.org].

I cannot click on tabs in any website, do you know why? I can do it when using Internet Explorer but not firefox.

I have used Mozilla Firefox for years, but all of a sudden I cannot put my curser over a tabs on any website and click on it. What I mean is the top of the websites have words you can click on to go to other pages or in the email system it has tab buttons that allow you look at your inbox or close or save draft, it doesn't allow the curser to click on it. I can go to the tool bar put my curser in that and use the tab button on the key board to tab over to each word or link and then click enter and it will then go to that next page.

Both the Yahoo! Toolbar extension and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause an issue like that. Disable or uninstall those add-ons.
