I lost the function of opening new websites when clicking on icon Firefox on desktop

Hi!
Previously, when I had e.g. hotmail open (or any other actual web site), and wanted to check up on other web sites for answering questions, or for checking up informations on other web sites (e.g. Wikipedia, or Library services etc.) I could open these sites by clicking on the Firefox icon on my desktop. Now, I only seem to be able to open one site, no matter how many times I click on Firefox icon; nothing happens. In order to open up other sites, I have to close down the actual open site and click up the wanted site by clicking on the F. icon.
I would like to be able to open several windows and check upon information from various sources.
What can I do to get the function back?
Best regards,
K. Henriksson

Can you open a new window using File > New Window or {Ctrl + N} ?
If not, do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

  • Finder Windows always open new windows when clicking subfolders

    since i upgraded to 10.5.6, my finder windows only open new windows when I click on a subfolder. this is no matter what I do with the setting in preferences.
    Also, my finder windows no longer display the side bars with folder icons.
    I searched my library (and whole computer) for the finder preferences .plist file and can't find it. (was going to delete it and re-create it).
    Any ideas here?

    Thanks for the star.
    The default of Finder’s Find will not search that folder, but you can change the pulldown menu just beneath where it says Search, from Kind to System files by selecting Other from that menu and then scroll down the next window and check the box next to System files. You’ll then need to change the pulldown menu next to that to “include” instead of “don’t include.”
    The next time you do a search using Find, that pulldown menu will have System files as an option, if you think you might want to search for something in your home folder.

  • I just updated to Firefox 17.0.1 and now I can't click on a bookmark to open it or open new tab when clicking new tab button.

    In FF 17.0.1 I have several bugs to mention. I am only able to open bookmarks by right clicking them and selecting Open In New Tab from the drop down menu. I am unable to open a new tab by clicking on the new tab button or by clicking open new tab from the FF drop down menu at top of browser. Also, none button work in FF, such as Home, Back, Forward, or refresh. This is so aggravating!!

    After I posted this, I restarted with add ons disabled and it worked..deleted a cpl of addons for compatibility checking and that fixed it.

  • Opening new tab when clicking link

    Out of the blue, firefox suddenly started opening links from Google and Yahoo search engines in a new tab instead of going directly from the original tab. I've tried tapping the control and shift keys, restarting firefox, and restarting the computer (just to make sure); nothing works. Strangely enough, it's only these two having this problem, so I'm wondering if they've updated their own settings to force this.

    Did you check the settings on the Google preferences page?
    For the Google website you can set your preferences on the Google.com page via the gear icon at the top right.<br />
    Click that button to open the menu list and select Search settings.
    * http://www.google.com/preferences?hl=en
    Results Window: Open search results in a new browser window.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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 Buddies window when clicking dock icon, not Messages window

    Fantastically annoying that clicking the dock icon for messages does not open the buddy list..this should be configurable. 

    Right!?!? Beyond annoying, it's like Apple has gone out of it's way to just make little annoyances.  I wish it would just go back to how iChat was, or like you said, make it configurable.
    Also, if you close out of all Messages windows, and then put the computer to sleep (this is something I do quite common), when you return from sleep, Messages has completely quit on its own.  Why....??

    I've been taking screen shots for years and opening them from my desktiop. Suddenly, today, I've lost the ability to open them. I can right click on the picture and do "quicklook", but that's it. They just won't open.
    Similary, if I scan an image and save it as a PDF file in pictures, I'm suddenly not able to open it either!
    Why?

    Move the com.apple.screencapture.plist file out of /username/Library/Preferences/ to the Desktop, log out and back in, and try again.
    BTW, use the default 10 point setting for text. Your choice just wastes screen space.

  • I've lost the program to open jpgs

    I went to upgrade to 4.5 and lost the ability to open simple jpgs. Can anyone help?

    You might be missing your BlackBerry Attachment Service. On the PC where you upgraded, open Desktop Manager > Appliction Loader and see that this is still checked, as i loaded.
    If not, there could be a Service Book issue since the upgrade.
    1. Options > Advanced > Host Routing Table > Menu > Register.
    2. With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot
    if still nothing...
    3. resend your service books from your carrier BIS site.

  • Why is the option to open new links in a new window not available?

    Hi, I'd like to select the option to open new links in a new window instead of new tab but the option is greyed out. Can anyone help me on this, please? I tried to untick "Block popup windows" to see if that would help but it didn't.

    Do you mean the setting in Options > Tab or in the right-click context menu of a link on web pages?
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> 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
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

    The "+" sign which opens NEW TAB has stopped working suddenly. I have to open a new window each time. I tried uninstalling firefox and installing again but the problem still persists. Somebody guide me on this.

    Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.

  • Hi, when setting Safari, what is the meaning of "Open New Tabs in Background"? Thank you.

    hi, when setting Safari, what is the meaning of "Open New Tabs in Background"? Thank you.

    Previously, whenever you wanted to open a new browser window in mobile Safari, or whenever you tapped a link from within another app, Safari created a new page.
    But in IOS 5 things have changed, you now have 'open new tabs in background, a great feature.
    On any browser window that you have selected in Safari or any linked windows, you open Safari on iPad/iTouch or iPhone you have tabbed browser windows and can go to any of the sites without having to open up a new safari window.
    It saves you time.
