In Tools Options Tabs, my choice is to 'open new window in new tab.' Only opens tab, never window.
Running Firefox version 35.0.1 in Windows 8.1.
In Tools>Options>Tabs, my choice is to 'open new window in a new tab instead.' Whether the box is checked or not checked, I ONLY get tabs, no window. I do not want tabs for anything.
How can I fix it so I check the box and get a window?
Thank you.
Uncheck that box in order to open new tabs in a new window.
To have complete control, however you can right click on any link and choose "Open in new window" regardless of what is checked in that setting.
I hope this helps.

USing Numbers app but can't copy excel spreadsheet attached to a gmail email into Numbers. Apple instruction state that you click on opened document and choose option to open in Numbers. Don't have this option, only an option to open in Safari. I need very complete instructions, I'm pretty new to IPad apps. Thanks!
THanks, but no go.
when I open spreadsheet attachment, only option is in lower right hand corner-- a box with arrow. When I touch this icon it gives me a choice to open in Safari or Cancel. No white dots.
PLs be really basic with your response to me. I thought I am pretty computer literate but this has be baffled.
THanks. I'm sure there is something "simple" that I'm missing. -
Tabs for new windows no longer accumulate; only current tab shows. How do I get new sites on tabs?
Previously, tabs for new links showed at top of address bar and accumulated as I surfed. Now, only current site/window shows an accompanying tab. What happened to the tabbing process? Can't find an answer in Firefox Help. I have Windows 7. Thanks. Kusgol
I use that add-on. Works great.

Firefox 10.0.2 / Does not offer restore session - Tools/Options lack Startup options choice
After closing Firefox - starting again does not offer a Restore Session option. Tools/Options lacks any choice for startup options.
How do I remedy this problem.The Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time" setting should still be there.
Can you attach a screenshot of the Tools > Options > General window?
*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot
Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).
Start Firefox in <u>[[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.

I need to reset/change/clear my cookies, probably clear my cache, and change my history preferences. When I use the Tools-Options choice to bring up the appropriate menu (General, Tabs, Content, Applications, Privacy, Security,and Advanced) all allow me access to make changes (or not), the PRIVACY tab does not open up. It does no allow access to any info contained there in. It is like it doesn't exist or isn't even there. Also, in the Tools menu on the Firefox toolbar, both "Stop Private Browsing" and "Clear Recent History" are grayed out. What gives? Thank you for your help.
This can be caused by in incompatible/malfunctioning add-on. To test if this is the case follow the procedure in the [[troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article.

I'm using Firefox 4.0 with TabMixPlus and AdBlock Plus on Windows XP Home, SP3. When I log in as a local administrator in Windows, new tabs open correctly and display a home page, but when my non-admin users (mother-in-law!) run Firefox, the application insists on a blank tab. It also shows a bizarre "nested" view with two sets of Windows title bars stacked at the top of the screen.
There's a weird orange "Firefox" dropdown menu atop the second one, and it's full of cool options... none of which does a thing to change this behavior.
Short of giving my mother-in-law admin privileges, how can I get Firefox to respect her GUI choices?New tabs open by default a blank tab, so it looks that you have an extension that opens the home page instead.
You can look at one of these extensions:
* NewTabURL : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
* New Tab Homepage : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/
Quote: ''It also shows a bizarre "nested" view with two sets of Windows title bars stacked at the top of the screen. ''
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.
In Firefox 4 [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode Safe mode] disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.
* Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See:
* [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

I used to be able to close firefox and have all my opened tabs saved. When I open firefox again, those tabs will be opened as I last closed firefox.
Now, I am not able to do it. The firefox was crashed at one time earlier and I have to open the task manager to force it to close because it is frozen and so was my computer. After I opened it again, there is no tabs saved which I kinda expected. Then I
go on web surfing and browse various websites. Now, when I close firefox, a box pops up warning me about the opened
tabs will be closed. So I googled the symptom and it brought me to this website, telling me that if I set
"tools->open->general->When firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time", it should behave as it was before.
I tried that but it doesn't work.
Any help is appreciated.In case you use "Clear history when Firefox closes" or otherwise clear history:
*do not clear the Browsing History
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/remove-recent-browsing-search-and-download-history
Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, passwords, and other website specific data. -
It opens the same 3 stupid windows every time: the Firefox Google page, the upgraded Welcome page, and Amazon wish list upgrade page. This while my home page is set to msn.com or blank! I tried every method mentioned in Help that I could find, including the corrupt dll file and deleting Firefox and reinstalling it. Still, same problem. I have checked and rechecked all my browsing, history and cookie settings, etc. but cannot find any solution. I am not in private browsing, and I accept all cookies. It also does not save my Tools-Options-Tabs-When I open a new tab, switch to it immediately. This is really disappointing. Can someone please help??
Under Options->General->Startup->When Firefox starts->Change this from "Show my home page" to "show my windows and tabs from last time". It works for me, hope this will help you as well.

I have Acrobat XI and am trying to add pages to a pdf. Tutorials instruct me to use Tools, Options or Page Thumbnail to get to a drop down command of Insert Page, but I have few choices in any of those places and Insert Page is not any of them.
What do you see, then?

Tools Options changed from drop-down box to new tab full page. Why?
Hello,
Have Windows 7, Firefox Nightly 32.0a1 (2014-05-18) the latest update was a couple of hours ago. Since then, when I go to Tools>Options, instead of the Options menu opening in a drop-down window with General, Tabs, Content, Applications, Privacy, Security, Sync and Advanced at the top, it now opens as a new tab (full page) and of the eight functions, the "Tabs" is missing, the others are down the left side of the page.
Also since this update, I am having problems with two forums, (both hosted by ProBoards) - the icons for links, video. image etc are missing, the "Like" button doesn't work, I cannot preview my posts, the clickable button/box to return to forum is missing. Others on the forum who use Firefox aren't having problems. I'm thinking it is the update causing these problems because they weren't appearing before.
Thank you.That is the new "Options" display, added in today's Nightly when you go to open Options. '''"Tabs"''' preferences are on the "General" panel.

Can not open new blank tab window from file, new tab.In Tools/Options/Tabs I have ticked open new window in new tab?
The Ask Toolbar is probably causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13 version. Disable that extension or un-install it.
