I no longer have the option under 'File' on the main menu to open a new window.

In the past(recent past) I was able to open a new window of Firefox by licking on File then there was an option to open a new window(session) of Firefox. At some point which I am unsure of that option is no longer there. Does anyone know why or how I can correct or fix it?
I'd very much appreciate the help because I miss the feature very much!

If you do not see the menu bar with the File menu then see [[Menu bar is missing]]
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
You can also try "Reset toolbars and controls" on the [[Safe mode]] start window

  • When I am NOT private browsing Firefox will not allow me to delete or change the website address in the location bar. My only remedy is to open a new window and search in google then click the link to that site through google. How can I resolve this?

    Question
    When I am NOT private browsing Firefox will not allow me to delete or change the website address in the location bar. My only remedy is to open a new window and search in google then click the link to that site through google. When I swap to private browsing firefox allows me to anter the website address directly into the location bar - but this is a slow [prcess to swap back and forth - also by dint of using private browsing I loose my website information.

    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).

  • Firefox 3.6.13 - Why, when I use the dropdown File menu to open a new window, does FF open my Home Page tabs? All I want is a blank page.

    I have four tabs in my home page:
    2 - https://mail.google.com/mail/;
    1 - http://us.mg5.mail.yahoo.com/dc/launch;
    1 - http://www.facebook.com/login.php
    When I use the "File" drop-down menu I want only a blank page, but I get the four tabs. How go I get other New Windows to open as blank pages?

    A new window open by default with the Home page(s), tabs open a blank page.
    The only ways to avoid opening a new window with the home page is either to set the home page to about:blank (ie disabling the home page) or use a bookmark with the location set to about:blank and use Shift + left-click to open that link in a new window.

  • Dragging from the address bar to desktop... Why open a new window?

    Running 64bit Windows 7 Pro with SP1 installed. Also running Internet Explorer 11.
    When I drag the icon from the address bar of IE to my desktop to create a shortcut to that webpage, the current tab will close and a new browser window opens and loads the page. Why does this happen, and more importantly, how can I stop it?

    Hi yes... it did work before Tear-able tabs were introduced...
    I opened a connect ticket at the MS Feedback channel for IE.
    https://connect.microsoft.com/IE/feedback/details/930834/dragging-from-the-address-bar-to-desktop-why-open-a-new-window-tearable-tabs-breaks-drag-drop-to-desktop-from-addressbar
    I don't think it will be a show stopper...
    another workaround is to store all of your links in your Favorites folder (or Favorites Bar folder)...
    then the Address bar autocomplete makes it easy to retrieve the web address and navigate back to the website....
    If you are using the desktop to store your downloads (zips/whatever), there is no need for this as the IE Download Manager will retain a listing of downloaded files (until you clear it)... you can also choose to save your downloads to the Desktop folder
    I/o the default Downloads folder.

  • Since the last two Firefox updates, I can no longer open a new tab by clicking on it or using the options under file (new tab). Nothing works. Please help!

    Control T doesn't work either.

    The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.
    There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
    * Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
    * Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

  • Sometimes firefox won't open and I have to 'end process', and others it won't let me search in the searchbar, or open a new window. What's going on?

    Sometimes when I close firefox, it won't open again. I have to 'end process'. Other times it will not open a new window until I 'end process'. Sometimes it even won't let me use the search bar until I 'end process'.

    Do you have Restrictions turned on in Settings>General?

  • In Pages I used to be able to edit a template and "save a version" to update the template. Now i have to rename the template to save the changes. Why is this happening? what happen to "save a version"? its no longer an option under "file".

    In Pages, In the past, I was able to edit a template and "save a version" to update the template. Now i have to rename the template to save the changes. Why is this happening? what happen to "save a version"? its no longer an option under "file". And I can no longer open the actual template, when template is clicked, it automaticaly opens an "untitled" version???

    In your description you say the first document opens as the Title you gave it.
    Templates always open as Untitled so it sounds like you have saved a regular document, perhaps into your templates folder which is possible.
    Since you have already worked on it and it has been previously saved, Lion will now Save for you and Save a Version is available
    The other document does open as Untitled so sounds like a real template and as Peggy has pointed out will not have either Revert nor Save a Version until you Save it and have changed something in it.
    This is a classic example of just how Apple's supposedly "simplification" of the process, is leading to confusion of what has happened. That the conditions and resulting actions from those conditions is so convoluted says it all.
    It all reminds me of the Monty Python Life of Brian sketch with the "simplified" John Cleese instructions to the class, as to if you have a brother in an older dorm whether to hang your hat and bag on the hooks provided. The trouble is Apple does not get the joke, that it is transforming itself into a frequently self contradictory bumbling bureacracy. The price of unchallenged self appointed geniushood.
    The incoherent half baked stumbling juggernaut has reached new triumphs with its edict on enforced Sandboxing on developers when it is unable to follow even its own instructions.

  • Since updating my iTunes I no longer have any controls.  iTune covers the entire desktop and I cannot add from my files.  Can anyone please advise me.

    Since updating my iTunes I no longer have any controls.  iTune covers the entire desktop and I cannot add from my files.  Prior to updating I had a perfectly good iTunes which would allow me to stories for including on a iPod. 
    Can anyone please advise me.

    From my post on what seems like the same issue (found here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21087892#21087892)
    Take the following steps:
    1) while connected to wifi, toggle off then back on the Show All Music and iTunes Match options shown in my original post. Important: I did this step before, but wasn't connected to wifi, and my music disappeared. Subsequently, I connected to wifi and turned off and then back on those options and everything came back though it was grayed out and my only option was to download music.
    2) To get streaming over cellular back, go into Settings>General>Cellular and scroll down to the "Use Cellular Data for:" options and make sure the iTunes option is set to 'On'
    The above steps will bring back the streaming capability which seemed to go away when you update to 6.1. It didn't ACTUALLY go away, but something about the update toggled off the iTunes option in step 2 above.
    I did a final test by turning off wifi, opening Music app and selecting a song. It played successfully without downloading! Crossing my fingers, but I think I'm good to go!
    Hope this helps!

  • I need to export Quicktime files using the PhotoJPEG, MJPEG-A, or DV codec.  Is this possible in Final Cut Pro X?  In the options under export I don't see any of these available.

    I'm importing .MOV files from my Canon 5Dmk2 at 1080p.  So should I just export using a different codec and then use Compressor or MPEG Streamclip to convert to an MJPEG-A or PhotoJPEG codec?
