I suddenly cant drag or move my tabs, how do I fix this?

I am using version 3.6.13 of firefox at work (cannot upgrade) and suddenly have lost the ability to drag and drop or move tabs around eachother. Is there a hotkey that enables and disables that? I probably hit something and dont know what it was. Please help this is very frustrating.

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.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

    Hi...I have the OS X v10.6.8 but my QuickTime is not playing .mov files. How can I fix this?
    Depends of the specific kind of file you are trying to play. MOV refers to the file container. Any data compatible with the system used to create the file can be placed in an MOV file. If you don't have the same codecs available on your computer to play back the file or if your version of the QT player does not expect expect the encoded data to be in an MOV file container, then it cannot/will not play the file. Use the Finder Info window, media player Inspector/Information window, or a dedicated utility to determine what compression formats were used to create the MOV file and then install the required codec(s) if available.

    I think you are in "full screen" mode. Use the F11 key to switch between full screen and normal modes. Does that solve the mystery?

  • I cannot see the search bar. only the tabs. how do i fix this?

    i have tried to uninstall and reinstall mozilla firefox to see if i can get my toolbar and search bar back. all i can see is my tabs and the minimize/mazimize/close buttons at the top right corner of the browser. i have searched for ways to fix this, but in my search, i have only found ways to fix windows explorer. help?

    In Firefox 3.6 and later on Windows you can hide the "Menu Bar" via "View > Toolbars" or via the right-click context menu on a toolbar.
    Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
    Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the "Menu Bar" or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).

  • Suddenly stopped playing my purchased tv shows, how can I fix this?

    I have  been purchasing tv shows from iTunes & viewing them on my laptop for  a while, but suddenly none of the shows will play - I can open them, but they sit as paused on the screen.  I can change where they are paused, but they still will not play. Anyone have an idea of how to fix this? I'm at a loss.

    Hi,
    Try the following.
    Open windows Control Panel, open Windows Update, select 'View update history' in the left hand pane and then select 'Installed updates' link in the following window.
    Locate update KB2962407, right click it and select Uninstall.  When done, restart the notebook, open windows Control Panel, open Windows Update and select 'Check for updates'.  You'll see the update you just uninstalled being offered again - right click and select 'Hide Update'.
    After this you may or may not need to delete and reload the Audio driver - if you do, the procedure for using recovery manager to reinstall Software and Drivers is detailed in the relevant document on the link below.
    Recovery Manager - Windows 8.
    Recovery Manager - Windows 7

  • I cannot move photos to current folders "I do not have permission to move photos" why, how do i fix this

    My son just installed adobe photoshop elements 12 on my mac computer.  Every time I try to move a photo to a folder it says "you do not have permission to move this photo" .
    Why and how do I fix it?  I am not computer  savvy and my son  does not know why this is happening. HELP

    Since folder permissions are an operating system issue not photoshop, you will need to specify which operating system you have, so you get the correct information and person that knows about that operating system.

  • Since I updated to 6, my mouse wheel scrolling has become erratic, and, depending of the text size on the web page, either moves only a few lines each turn or moves several pages instead of one page as it did before on every tab. how do I fix this?

    Is this a glitch or is it something to do with compatibilty?

    yes, it is still happening, though I've gotten better at ignoring it.
    my touchpad, i think, is an elan ps/2 port smartpad and my mouse is a microsoft basic optical mouse v2, both componants are working correctly and have the latest driver update installed.
    The difference between img 1 and 2 is one scroll wheel turn down. In image 3 I have decreased the view using control - (minus) and in image 4 I have scrolled down one turn of the wheel. you can see that instead of a full page turn, like between img1 and 2, it only moves about 2/3's of the screen down. As every tab seems to have a different text size, the amount of scroll turn changes between tabs, sometimes varying as much as several pages each scroll turn.
    One thing I have noticed, is that the vertical scrolling speed on my mouse settings changes the amount the pages moves when turning the wheel. This only seems to change when in firefox. changing this while using word has no effect on the page movement in word. Increasing the vertical scrolling speed will make the scroll turn move further.
    I have adjusted the scroll settings in options, and no adjustment of settings, (autoscrolling on/off, smooth scrolling on/off in and combinations of off/on) has made this error stop occurring. I have checked for malware etc, no issues. This happened from the instant I upgraded to FF6, so I think there is a corrolation there.

  • Firefox on my laptop will not allow me to open multiple tabs, how can I fix this issue?

    I usually use firefox and yesterday was downloading a photoshop program called gimp. all of a sudden after downloading it, firefox stops allowing me to open multiple tabs. I click on file and new tab, but it still will not work.

    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

  • When I click on the "new tab" button it does not open a new tab, how do I fix this?

    Left clicking or right clicking on the new tab button does not open a new tab. Common fixes have been unsuccessful. I don't know what's wrong. It's a recent problem, and even though I'm using an older version of Firefox this hasn't been a problem before.

    Try uninstalling the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and the current version of Firefox.

  • I used to be able to search a subject and have the "results" show up with a new tab, but now it opens the result in the same tab, how do I fix this?

    I have tried repeatedly to get the options section to show how to do this but everything changed with the "new-and-improved(?)" Mozilla!
    Could someone please explain to me how to get this to work like it used to (open search results or links in a new tab)??? PLEASE, it is driving me nuts since my slow @ssed computer and AT&T (should be AS&S without the &) internet, makes me remember the bad old days of the 286 computer load times:
    Down memory lane...
    Power button on ==> go take a Shower, Shave, and the other S ==> Make coffee ==> enable program in command line (pre-windows) ==> fix breakfast and another coffee cup ==> curse at computer because it made you forget to add another switch to your command line...
    How many remember those days?!
    They say laughter is the best medicine, except I'm not laughing about the new Mozilla anymore :(

    Could you clarify where you are doing your search?
    ''For Firefox's "Search bar",'' which is the box on the right end of the main navigation toolbar with the icon indicating your currently selected search engine, there is a hidden setting for this:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''sear''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click the '''browser.search.openintab''' preference to switch it from false to true.
    If you test, does it work?
    ''For searches from other places,'' could you be more specific about where you are entering your query (e.g., address bar, built-in home page, on a search engine site)?

  • Firefox will not allow me to open a new tab, how do I fix this?

    I really hate having to use two windows instead of being able to use tabs.

    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.
    There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:

  • I can't open a new tab. how do I fix this?

    I see the tab button to open a new window. It does nothing when I press it. I read all the troubleshooting and nothing works. I work with multiple tabs so I need this fixed asap.

    This issue can be caused by the Ask<i></i>.com toolbar (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)<br />
    Your system details show that toolbar in the user agent as AskTbSTC/3.11.3.15590
