I Need to have many internet windows open at once

I'm used to PC based work where I can have several internet windows open at once. I can't seem to do this on the iMac. I have downloaded Firefox, so I can use Firefox and Safari at the same time, but I would like to have at least 6 internet windows open at once so I may toggle between screens. How can I do this.
I know I can have multiple tabs open in firefox, but this is no help, as selecting a tab and moving back and forth between tabs is pretty cumbersome.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Here's a good list of shortcuts:

I always have many tabs open in FF, and rely on it restoring them each time I close/open it again. Sometimes I'll have a second window open and will close the main window first, losing a record of tabs I had open. Is there a way around this?

Seems like when FF restores a session, it restores the session of the last window open. If you use tabs as a way of keeping a list of things to do or look at, you have to be careful if you have a second window open to close the second window before your main one, or you will lose your list. I'm absent minded though and do this all the time. The only way to prevent this is bookmark all my tabs once a day, but I tend to forget to do even that. Any workaround for this?

When you re-open Firefox and choose Restore Session, by default it picks up your most-recently-open window, and the other windows should then show up in Recently Closed Windows.
The Firefox add-on Session Manager lets you manage how many closed windows and closed tabs are saved, in case it's not enough.

When I have the downloads window open and I close the browser window, how can I get the browser to open the homepage the next time I start it while the download window is still open?

When I have the downloads window open and I close the browser window, the next time I reopen the browser while the downloads are still going, it returns me to the last page I was on. All previous versions of Firefox would return me to my homepage which I would prefer. Please let me know if this is possible.

I am unable to open another Firefox4 window when I have the Error Console open and I can't open the Error Console when I have two Firefox4 windows open. Is anyone else having this problem?

I am trying to debug the jQuery to a micro site I've created and I am unable to open the Error Console when I have two Firefox windows open and I am unable to open a second Firefox window when I have the Error Console open.
I am using Mac OS X 10.6.7 and I am using Firefox 4.0.1

I personally haven't experienced much of the "reverberation/feedback" when using a headset on the i4S...
Yes, I have near-perfect hearing too (for scope, squeaky brakes hurt my ears) I come from many conversations on many phones and types and first off, CDMA technology is great for coverage, terrible for voice quality. HD Voice in Europe made for some of the best phone conversations I've ever had.
Back on track, feedback is most noticable (similar to the landline phone) when using the iPhone without a headset, but for me it's not an absolute criticality mainly because I use VoIP apps alot, so maybe it has desensitized me some over the past year.
But whenever I'm on a call, and the other person has me on speakerphone, I have alot of trouble talking because of the feedback loop caused. So the less of my voice I hear the better I can talk.
Have you tried a bluetooth headset yet?

When I have multiple browser windows open - but in the "minimized" mode - and I want to open up one of them for viewing, ALL of the windows automatically open as well. How do I prevent this annoying function. I cannot find it anywhere in the options.

This does not appear to be a system issue, but rather a functional aspect of the browser windows. E.g., if I have 7 browser windows open to different sites... and all are Minimized, and I decide to open one to study, THEY ALL POP OPEN automatically. I am using Firefox v3.6.8 on Windows 7. This is an annoying behavior of the browser, and I am sure it can be somehow "turned off" but cannot determine how to do that. I have looked through all options. I am not a techie, but have reasonable proficiency with software apps.

This can happen if you drag a tab slightly down in the browser window while clicking.
Firefox has a feature called tear-off tabs
You can detach a tab from the current window and open it in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window.
You can also do this via the right-click context menu of a tab: Move to New Window
You can drag that tab back to the tab bar in the original window to undo that detaching.

If I have several tabs/windows open and I go to a new page, it hijack several of my current windows with that same URL. How to stop?

I frequently have a couple of windows with several tabs in each window open. For example, I always have a small window open in the corner of my screen with a time tracking program set up. Sometimes when I open a new tab or window and go to a URL (not thru a search engine, but just directly), it will "hijack" one or more of my other tabs/windows and plug in that same URL, losing whatever I had previously open. I've checked through all the prefs and I don't see why or how this problem is happening. What gives? I'm on an iMac using OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 using Firefox 34.0.5. HELP!

Why do I have 2 iPhoto windows open?

Why do I have 2 iPhoto windows open? When I click on the dock iPhoto app it gives me 2 iPhoto window options. Do I officially have double iPhotos or have I some how duplicated it? How can I get back to one as Im already struggling with lack of memory space!

That screenshot is only showing you one iPhoto window - the one with the checkmark. The upper part are the recently opened libraries. You can check this by selecting "Show all windows":
iPhoto can have more than one window open, if you launched a dialogue, for example, if you are switching between libraries, you might see this:
Then the main application window is open, plus the dialog window:

How are you closing the window?
Are you using the File menu or the close X on the title bar?
Use Alt + F to open the File menu with the Close Tab entry visible (doesn't work with the mouse).

Firefox is it the only browser that you need to have your task manager open with in order to surf?

Firefox is it the only browser that you need to have your task manager open with in order to surf?

Nothing much to see on that site, but I don't have a problem opening the page. See screenshot.
Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

I can't get the Bookmarks button (NOT the Display Your Bookmarks Button) to show in the Navigation Toolbar, except when I have the Customise window open.

I think that covers it really. When I have the customise window open I can see the Bookmarks Button (like the Display Your Bookmarks Button but with a little arrow on the right hand side) but as soon as I click Done it vanishes. I've tried it in a number of positions on the Navigation toolbar but without success.

My bookmarks button just moved itself out of the Navigation Toolbar and into the Bookmarks Toolbar. If there's a way to return it, let me know.
It's using a whole new toolbar's worth of space (since the Bookmarks Toolbar is now double height) just for one dinky button...love the idea of maximizing real estate and this is messing that up.

Having multiple query windows open at once.

I wasn't sure how to phrase it so after some digging I'm resorting to asking on here.
I've been working out of the 'Joes2Pros' series and I work within SMMS with SQL standard installed locally for playing.
Most of the time I like to have multiple query windows open to save queries to reference later just for examples.
My question is that is there a way to ensure a query window is not using any databases so that when I run the lab setup scripts for Joes2Pros I don't encounter any errors without having to close my other query windows?
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

You can accomplish this multiple ways:
1. Have your windows open with the database context set to master (select master DB in the dropdown on the toolbar)
2. "USE master; go" statement as the first line in all your query windows
3. Before you run your setup scripts, issue a kill command to terminate all other query window sessions (this will still keep the query windows open but they won't be connected to any database)

I cannot have two app windows open on my late 2011 MacBook Pro.

Say I have Pages open and I need to go to Safari for some reasearch. If I click on Safari, the Pages window will just disappear and then the Safari window will open. To make sure that this was just a settings issue, I logged out of my personal account and then logged in on the guest account. When I tried to have two windows open, there was no problem. I just need to know where I can find this setting on my computer because it's a very annoying problem. I can't even create another desktop and open another window there because it would still disappear. The perplexing thing is that it happened out of the blue. One day I could, the next day I couldn't. Somebody please help, Apple won't float me on this one (my tech-support expired).
If it helps, it has an Intel Core i5 with 2.4 GHz and 4GBs of RAM. I bought it refurbished from Apple on June 14 of 2011.

Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
defaults delete com.apple.dock single-app
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
Log out and log back in.

Every picture on firefox has an add or a link to open a new tab, cites that wouldn't before have like two windows opened.

This is a new computer it has Windows 8, and for some reason there are so many ads on Firefox. Every time I open up a window go go something simple like Google an ad will pop up in the corner. I'm not sure if it Firefox or Windows 8, but it is really frustrating to not be able to click a single link and have two different tabs opening.

How to have new Safari windows open in full screen?

Hello,
I am wondering if it is possible to have new Safari windows take up the full screen. For example, if I click on a link that opens a new window, I would like that new window to take on the fully maximized setting of the window it came from. So even if the website code says the window has to be 50% screen real estate, I would like to be 100% every time automatically.
Thanks.

Welcome to the forums!
Yet another great thing that Glims can do!
If you want to fix your Google search to a specific Google location, I recommend that you download and install the free plug-in Glims:
http://www.machangout.com/
which not only does that but much more equally useful stuff! (Such as automatically deleting Flash cookies, enabling Safari to run full-screen, and more.)
(It adds items to Safari Preferences).
Not only does it already list a number of search engines and regions, but you can also add any other search engine not already listed in Glims by using the method described here:
http://www.machangout.com/tutorials/addsearchengine
Just enter the name you give the search engine in the name field, and the URL for it in the Query URL field.
When you have it, the setting is in Glims Preferences/General
