Is there a way to open a new window with one site when the home setting on Firefox has multiple websites?

While working in Firefox is there a way to open a new window with one site when the home setting on Firefox has multiple websites?

I guess I'm not explaining myself fully. I have a home page designation in firefox preferences that starts firefox up with 5 sites. that pretty fills up my screen with tabs.
At some point I want to initiate another WINDOW in firefox (NOT a tab). I would like to be able to open up a window that ONLY has ONE tab, or as if there were only one site designated as the home page. This gives me a workspace that has my most useful sites available in tabs in one window, and also another WINDOW that I can move around in and even create more tabs without messing up my primary set of TABS (in my primary window). I see how this might not be doable without doing what I do now, which is open up a new window, and then close tabs until the new window just has one tab for me to work from.

  • Is there a way to open a new window from the "Go" menu in Mavericks?

    Before Mavericks, I was able to go from the Finder to the top menu "Go" -> "Utilities", or Applications or Home… and a new window would open.
    Now I have to manually open a new window to avoid loosing my existing window.

    First, as others have already stated.....make sure the checkbox is deselected for "open folders in tabs instead of windows" in Finder Preferences.
    If you're like me and don't like tabs very much, there is a way to make folders always open in windows with a simple click (I'm using Mavericks 10.9.5).  Go to a root folder (for example, the Documents Folder), open it, and select View > Hide Toolbar, then all folders within that root folder will open in a new window.
    As an alternative method, any folder can be opened in a new window by holding down either Command Key while clicking the folder. But sooner or later you will forget to hold down that key, and then clicking on a folder will open in a tab (which will automatically resize the window and cause much aggravation).
    The Hide Toolbar trick will also work with any folder present on the Desktop. It will make all folders inside that folder open in new windows.
    To make the Applications Folder open in a new window when opening it from the menu bar at the top of the screen, you will have to open the main hard drive folder and use the Hide Toolbar trick. This will cause all folders inside it to open in new windows.
    Hope this helps.

  • Is there a way to open a chat window with lookout?

    I know there is a windows-chat embeded in Windows but our IT department has it blocked in all the machines. So I created, using a run object, a wordpad window to chat remotelly with the operator of the system using VNC4.0. Problem is that as soon as a new lookout screen is open, wordpad goes behind lookout. This VNC does not have chat windows.
    I have secured lookout with passwords, the operator can not get inside the computer when lookout is open. No menu bar, no task bar. Lookout shutdwon the computer by a button on screen connected to a run object. When computer boots up, lookout opens automatically becasue its icon is in the start up file. This way of blocking the access to inside the PC works great but once wordpad windows goes back, I don't see a way to make it visible again without breaking the security of Lookout.
    It will be really handy to have sort of chat window that lookout can open and close by itself, without asking for the blessing of the IT department.
    Any ideas?
    Note: I tried also the web  server ponting to a wordpad file previously saved in some place. The inconcvenience of this is that the Web object cannot be moved around to uncover buttons of lookout screens. It doen't work 100% fine either as a chat windows.
    Again: Any ideas?

    Create Comments:
    Create an Access database.  Table: Notepad Fields: Username (Text), ComputerName(Text),TimeStamp(DateTime),Comment(Memo)
    Create TextObject called ChatComment. 
    Create PushButton called MakeComment.
    Create and SQLExec object. Connect to the database.
    SQL Query  "INSERT INTO Notepad (Username,ComputerName,TimeStamp,ChatComment) VALUE "'" & $system.Username & "', '" & $system.Computername & "'," & now() & ", '" & ChatComment & "')"
    (This SQL query is just PSEUDO CODE, it is not complete!)
    Connect SQLExec.Execute=MakeComment (pushbutton).
     Read Comments (Most Recent 15):
    Create DataTable object, set as ODBC and connect to database.
    SQL Query: "SELECT TOP 15 * FROM Notepad ORDER BY DateTime ASC"
    Set a timer object or pushbutton to DataTable.ExecuteSQL
    The datatable should have fields like A (Username), B (Computername), C(TimeStamp), D (ChatComment)
    Make your displays.
    This is all pseudo-code type. But that will get you close to what you want.

  • Is there a way to open a new tab/window by clicking the Safari dock icon?

    Is there a way to open a new tab or window by clicking the Safari dock icon? Right now, the default behavior seems to be that Safari simply un-minimizes or displays the last window in focus.
    I want to be able to quickly fire up a new tab or window in Safari when it is out of focus, such as when Finder is in focus. The workaround right now is to right-click on the Safari dock icon, and select "New Window", or to allow the last window in focus to appear, and cmd+t or cmd+n. But this is too many steps over the course of a day for a highly frequented task like this.

    I'm glad that helped. Thanks for posting back.
    ... when I save this as an application as "run only", it's relatively quick to run, but there's a delay to load... I assume it's opening Script Editor every time?
    As long as the script is saved as an application -- Run Only or not -- it should definitely not cause the Script Editor to open. You can verify this by closing the Script Editor application altogether prior to clicking on the docked script icon that you saved. You should notice that the Script Editor does not open when the script is run.
    FWIW, I went back and saved a version of the script as a Run Only app, and I didn't notice any difference between it and the original, which was saved without the Run Only option checked. The delay that you're noticing might be accounted for by the fact that the script, because it was saved as an application, will be activated just as any other standalone application would be. This happens prior to Safari being activated. Watch your menu bar when clicking on the docked script icon and you should see the name of the saved script app appear for a split second before Safari gets activated.
    The only time I can think of that you might wish to save the script as a Run Only application would be if you wanted to conceal the script for some reason. If, for example you were publishing the script as a part of an application release and didn't want its contents known, or you didn't want an end user to be able to edit the script, you might select the Save As > Run Only option. To illustrate this, try dragging and dropping a script saved as a Run Only application onto the Script Editor's icon. You should see a warning dialog to this effect:
    *Unable to read the file because the script is not editable (it was saved as run-only).*
    Whereas if you drag a script that was not saved as a Run Only app onto the Script Editor's icon, the script should open in the Editor, and it can be edited.
    I played around with the "stay open" option for saving the script as an application, but it appears I have to close the app and reopen it before I can get it to work a second time.
    The Stay Open option is appropriate for scripts which use an "On Idle" handler, which really wouldn't apply in this case. Check out more on Idle Handlers here and here.
    Is there a faster way to use this multiple times throughout the day?
    One way you might speed up the action would be to save the script +as a script+ by choosing Save As > File Format: script from the Script Editor's File menu. The resulting script can then be activated by assigning a hot key to it using one of several 3rd-party keyboard shortcut programs available on the Internet. (I used Spark, assigned a function key to the script I posted earlier, and found the action to run significantly faster.)
    Good luck.

    Is there a way of opening up old PSD documents and photos on the iMac please?

    .psd (photoshop) files should open in preview to view them and make some simple adjustments. 
    If you want to edit them but don't want the expense of buying Photoshop (or Elements) for your Mac, consider downloading Gimp - it's free.

  • Firefox is OPEN and working fine, but when I click a link in Thunderbird I get 'Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.'

    If I click a link on my desktop or in any other program (while Firefox is open and running), I get this message: "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." There's about a billion links for this if you Google it, but they all say that Firefox wasn't shut down properly. (OK, maybe not ALL of them, but if the needle is in that haystack, I haven't yet found it.) That's not the issue in my case since I haven't shut FF down at all.

    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 12.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

    Hi Pelle,
    Why did you delete your profile? Also how? Did you use the profile manager or did you delete from the windows file structure?
    It sounds like something during the profile delete has stopped Firefox from starting up. Please see the this article and follow the steps:

    Sometimes when I close Firefox and try to open it in few moments it shows me message "Firefox is already running, but is not responding.

    Hi Andis.
    First of all, this is completely normal behavior, although it's a bit irritating, I know. What happens is that when you close Firefox, despite the window disappearing right there and then, Firefox keeps running for a little bit until the whole closing procedure is completed. This can take a fraction of a second on fast computers, or can take a few seconds on slow computers or when Firefox is storing a large session (if you save your tabs). All you have to do is wait a bit until Firefox closes, and then open it again.
    To see if it's still running, you can press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC and then, under the Processes tab, you can see if firefox.exe is still there. If it's taking an unusual amount of time to close (which happens very rarely, and only if the browser freezes on exit), you can force the application to terminate from this application (task manager).
    Firefox 4.0 will reduce by 97% the time it takes firefox.exe to close, so this problem will be basically erased for Firefox's next version.
    Until then, I can recommend you this extension, which helps you restart your browser more easily and without bothering about closing times:
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3559/
    Hopefully this will help.

  • Firefox opens a new window with sites I never visited and don't want, I can not close these tabs or open another tab from them.

    I open a new window and two sites appear, One I had never heard of till now. Digg. I can't open a new tab from these tabs, there is never an x on the tab and close all other tabs does not get rid of them.
