In Firefox Google Toolbar, when I click "Search" the webpage I'm on closes and I go to the new browser window . Can I keep the webpage I'm on and have the search page open to a new browser window?

When I click "Search" in the Firefox Google Toolbar it closes (it makes me leave) the web page I'm already on. I want to have the page I'm on and the new page available when I click "Search." Is this possible? Can I at least get a tab for the new page? thanks

  • I reset Firefox. Now when I click on the icon to open Firefox my computer asks me if I want to let Firefox make changes to my computer.

    I reset Firefox. Now when I click on the icon to open Firefox my computer asks me if I want to let Firefox make changes to my computer.
    I have read that I should do a clean reinstall. Will I loose all of my open tabs, bookmarks, history etc?
    Is there another way to fix the problem other than a reinstall. this would have to be my last resort!

    A possible cause of this error is that Firefox is set to run as Administrator.
    Check that Firefox isn't set to run as Administrator.
    Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
    Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.
    * Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
    * "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" should not be selected
    Also check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).

    Make absolutely certain that FireFox is designated as your default browser.
    Do this: Tools / Options / Advanced / Check Now / correct the setting
    OR right click on any shortcut icon / Open With / Choose Default Program / select desired Browser / check Always... box / OK

  • Iweb keeps crashing when i click on the gallery page in the left hand colum

    iweb keeps crashing when i click on the gallery page in the left hand column? Does anyone know why this happens and what i can do to resolve it? I have tried deleting a file which i saw recommended but it hasn't made any difference

    Its possible that the page files, or individual image files are corrupted and you may have to consider rebuilding the page.
    Some people find that they can't even delete the page due to the fact that iWeb crashes as soon as they select it.
    If you have carried out the trouble shooting steps under "Fix iWeb" here....
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/WebMusic/iWebTips.html
    ... and the issue is still not resolved, I do have a method of deleting such pages which does work when I try it despite the claims from others that it is not possible.
    If you really have to delete the page you can post back here.

  • Firefox crashes immediately when I click on the icon

    On 9/21/2011 firefox worked fine. On 9/22/2011 when I clicked on the firefox icon I immediately got the mozilla crash report. In firefox help, under firefox crashes I have followed the steps listed:
    Update Firefox
    Update your plugins
    Update Windows
    Update your drivers
    Update your Internet Security software
    Check for viruses or spyware
    Check to see if the crash happens in safe mode
    The crash still happens in Safe Mode
    The crash doesn't happen in Safe Mode
    Get help fixing this crash
    None of these steps have helped.
    Firefox does crash in safe mode.

    There are quite a few reports with that crash signature:
    *[[https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/9a19ac34-b249-4e91-b5e3-2a6352110923 Crash Reports in nsSimpleURI::SchemeIs(char const*, int*)]]
    Look like a problem with running JavaScript.
    Does it happen on specific pages?
    Does it help if you disable the JavaScript JIT compiler temporarily as a test?
    Try to set these two prefs to false on the about:config page to disable the JavaScript JIT compiler for scripts on web pages.
    javascript.options.methodjit.content
    javascript.options.tracejit.content
    If you still see the crashes then do the same with these two for Chrome content (browser and extensions):
    javascript.options.methodjit.chrome
    javascript.options.tracejit.chrome
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    *Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
    *Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
    *Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

  • TS3212 I just installed iTunes (from the apple site) on to my new laptop.  When I click on the icon to open I get a pop up that says "The file iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes".  Now what do I do and ho

    I just installed iTunes on my new laptop.  When I click on the desktop icon I receive a pop up that says "The file iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes".  I have no idea what this means or what to do about it.  I can't even find a file on my computer like the one referred to in the pop up.  I am currently considering keeping my old laptop if it is the only way for me to continue to access iTunes.  What should I do to fix this?

    What version of iTunes are you using? An .itl file is something that Windows uses, or very old versions of iTunes on Mac. The library file on Macs is now .xml and has been since late iTunes 4.
    Is iTunes running ok without any problems after you OK that message? If it is, then you may be able to ignore it if you can't account for why you're getting it. But make sure you take backups in case something happens in the future.

  • I updated firefox to version 8. When I click on the shortcut to open the browser nothing happens. It doesn't open. I checked the process in my task manager and it says it is running. Any idea what's up?

    Running Windows Vista 32 bit

    I just clicked up there on "I have this problem too" and then began tinkering with Windows. What I've found out: if I go to firefox.exe properties and run as administrator, it works -- Firefox opens. The only hitch is that for every instance of FF I open, I get that annoying box asking me if I will allow FF to make changes to my computer, as if it were a new install. I also lose the capacity to open instances in tabs... This is not a workable solution to the problem, but perhaps it will provide someone with useful insight to help fix this issue.
    BTW, I run Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bits.
    After an hour or so of research, I've found a runaround for the UAC issue (basically changing permissions specifically for Firefox, without changing my global settings), and now I have a nice Firefox icon on my desktop, with no irritating boxes popping up every time I click on it. And Firefox works! Here's the runaround:

  • When I click on the icon to open Firefox I get an error message " A copy of Firefox is already open, only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time".

    I have tried to download and run Firefox on my MAC OS 10.6.7 several times and have run into this error message every time:
    "A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time". A search through the computer does not fine another copy of Firefox and there is no window open or evidence of the program open.
    When I got this computer a year ago I copied the hard drive from the old computer onto the new and the old computer had a copy of Firefox on it and the program worked on that computer. It would not run on the new computer so I thought maybe it was due to the Intel chip so I deleted the program and downloaded the newest version at the time. This is when I started getting the error message and subsequent attempts have yielded the same results.
    Can you be of help?

    what's wrong with my firefox 3.6.16?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    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")

  • Firefox stop responding when you click in the window.

    If you click anywhere in the content window the program stops responding. Title bar does not display "not responding". Can access menu function sometimes, but most of time program hang as soon as you click in the window.
    This problem started on 3/2/13 when the program was updated.

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • When I click on "System services" it just stays highlighted and have to close the settings down

    I have been have problems with my Iphone5S battery life recently, I have followed the steps to save as much battery life as possible and I went to a genius bar as I thought the battery may be on its way out but they ran tests and told me its still a healthy battery, in the 90% mark and anything over 80% is good especially when I have had over 500 charges. They told me software errors and crashes have occured a lot and to complete a fresh install of IOS which I'm hoping i factory settings, which I have just completed yesterday and so the software is completely new. I have found that the battery has already decreased by 10% in 20 minutes without hardly any use, I wanted to go to system services and turn off certain services and it just freezes on this title when clicked on and I have to close the setttings app down double tapping the home button. Has anyone else noticed this issue and does anyone reccomend any advice, do I need a new battery etc?
    thankyou

    UPDATE
    I have solved the settings issue so the main issue is have I reset the phone correctly and should I replace my battery? thanks
