See [[Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows]]
You can have infinite tabs opening if you have selected Firefox as the application to handle a file if you get an ''Open with'' download window.
Firefox should not be selected as the application to handle a file and you have to remove the action that is associated with that file type.
You can delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/mimeTypes.rdf mimeTypes.rdf] in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] to reset all actions or set that action in Tools > Options > Applications to 'Always Ask'.

    I just downloaded mountain lion and now my google chrome and spotify wont open.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • I recently downloaded google chrome and everytime I open it to use,a window keeps popping up to drag it to apps. How can i stop this?

    I just want to know how to stop it from appearing everytime i open my browser.

    Do as it says and then launch it from the Applications folder. If there's a Dock icon pointing to the instance of it on the mounted image, drag that to the desktop.

  • Google Chrome and Firefox won't open any sites. Internet explore can.

    Internet Explorer will run any sites. After installing google chrome and firefox its opens the browser but then when i enter a site, any site, it just wont go... It's not giving me an error message... i push the "enter" key and the busy locator, the circle thing that rotates to indicate the page is loading. it just pops for like 1 sec still remains on the main page.

    Hello justinmendoza89, check if your [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/configure-firewalls-so-firefox-can-access-internet#os=win7&browser=fx16 firewall] or other security software(antivirus, antispyware) prevent firefox access .

  • Just done a fresh install of Snow Leopard with all updates,iMac 5.1 behaves strange, sometimes I start Google Chrome and look at youtube videos the computer freezes and shuts down immediately, I believe its  related to overheating ?

    Just done a replacement of the pata DVD drive (its new and is working ok),  and a fresh clean  install of Snow Leopard with all updates, iMac 5.1 behaves strange, sometimes I start Google Chrome and look at youtube videos the computer freezes and shuts down immediately,
    I believe its  related to overheating ?
    iStat Pro shows GPU diode temp at 66 C, CPU at 48 C,  Fan rpms is around 1000
    Any ideas somebody ?
    The hard disk has been previously checked with state of the art techniques that have confirmed that the hard disk drive is in perfect condition.

    1.5-3 minute boot up as opposed to 15-20 seconds
    And
    why it takes a long time to load a lot of things.
    I have restored this
    from a time machine partition.
    TimeMachine is only a backup and restore, it won't fix issues in software and according to your information, doesn't even optimize the restore for best performance on boot hard drives.
    What you need to do to regain your speed is to understand how your machine works
    Why is my computer slow?
    Fix any and all issues in software following this list of fixes
    ..Step by Step to fix your Mac
    Then follow this defrag method I've outlined
    How to safely defrag a Mac's hard drive
    Most commonly used backup methods
    There shouldn't be need to reinstall OS X fresh unless your having file structure issues which if they are should appear when in the Steps, which then a zero erase and install will cure as well as any bad sector issues, the defrag step wouldn't be necessarry on a freshly installed system obviously as the files are written all together, not in portions all over the drive.
    Hope this assists.

  • I using FF-5-Stable. It much slower than Google Chrome 13. & crash during upload ??

    I using FF-5-Stable. It much slower than Google Chrome 13. & crash during upload ??
    it takes too much time to open a page.
    Always Crash during upload..for big or small file..
    It hangs and closed through Task manager or Reboot...

    1. What are you "uploading"?
    2. Have you tried a new Profile? Profiles don't last forever, and after going through a few major version updates "things" slow down, depending upon how much stuff the user has added to Firefox. Personally, I have created a new Profile for every new version of Firefox I have installed, up through Firefox 4.0. Didn't do that for Firefox 5, and probably won't for Firefox 6, due to the new fast release schedule and the fact that Firefox isn't being changed as much from one version to the next as it used to be changed under the 10 to 14 month intervals between major versions.<br />

  • Only Able to Connect to Google Chrome and Opera on Internet

    I'm running 10.9.5 on a Mid-2011 iMac.  The problem started last night after I uninstalled Norton Security for Mac.  Since then although I am connected to the internet through my ethernet connection, I'm unable to access the internet except through Google Chrome and Opera.  No luck with Safari, Firefox, Apple Mail App Store, iTunes or Microsoft Outlook for Mac.  My cable company, Time-Warner Cable, was unable to help. 
    Here are the steps I've taken, since last night, all without success
    Backed up to 3 or 4 previous backups in Time Machine;
    Rebooted the cable modem;
    Turned off the firewall;
    Shut down my iMac and pulled out and put the ethernet cable back in and then restarted;
    Flushed DNS using the app "DNS Flusher";
    Manually changed the DNS Servers in the Advanced subsection of the Ethernet section in System Preferences;
    Started my Mac in the Safe Mode;
    Created a separate Administrative Account in the User and Group section in System Preferences
    Some of the above steps I tried more than once and at this point am out of ideas.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  • IE10 "An error occurred" in Youtube (but on Google Chrome and Mozilla Fox having no sound but able to play video)

    "An error occurred" kept on appearing on Youtube (while using IE10) for all the videos that I tried so far and I also realized that in the advertisement before the video it would keep replaying the advert from the start on its own
    until the advert crashed and also showed "an error occurred".
    When going to Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox to play the same videos, I was able to play the advertisement and the videos but this time there was no sound at all.
    My problem occurred after a Windows 8 update as before that IE was able to play without any problems. Thus I highly suspect that an Windows 8 Update is responsible for this. 
    I also noticed my mute button on my keyboard having no effect after the Windows update, even though I was able to see the slider for the volume control changing (when pressing the volume increase and decrease button).
    Before the update I was able to see the mute button light up with the mute icon shown on the screen, compared to after the update with the mute button basically went dead without the ability to on and toggle the sound at all.
    It seems this inability to adjust and toggle the sound affects not only Youtube, but also soundcloud, vimeo (in essence it affects the sound across the board for all applications).
    The sound comes back occasionally after my computer starts up again from sleep, hibernation mode, after shutting down and switching on the laptop again so its intermittent on and off.
    My Internet Explorer version is IE 10, my Google Chrome version is Version 36.0.1985.125 m and my Firefox version is 30.0.
    PS: Attached are the screenshots showing what was downloaded during the recent Windows Update on 20 July 14 (20 July 2014).

    The figures you mention only make sense on your intranet.  Are you still using the same wireless router.  The verizon one is somewhat limited as far as max wireless-n performace.  For one thing it only has a 2.4 radio.   I like many people who wanted wireless-n performance before they even added a wireless-n gigabit router, have my own handling my wireless-n network.

  • My iMac os 10.7.4 Lion purchased 2/12 has jerky videos.  I've tried watching you tube and other videos with Safari and Google Chrome and sometimes they don;t jerk but most of the time the spinning globe appears and the video stops for a few seconds.  Help

    my iMac os lion 10.7.4 has jerky videos.  I've tried YouTube videos with Safari and Google Chrome and the spinning globe appears and the video stops for a few seconds.  I can't watch the white house weeklky address because it stops and starts every few seconds.  The software is up to date.  Just bought this thing in February 2012.  Can anyone help me? 

    Contact Apple Service, iMac Service or Apple's Express Lane. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you're eligible for onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine. Might also apply to new machines w/o AppleCare.

  • No opt-in for Google Chrome and Chrome Toolbar in Flash Player update???!!!

    Who gave you the right to force users to install Chrome and the Chrome Toolbar WITHOUT THEIR KNOWLEDGE?  Did it ever occur to you that your customers might have GOOD REASON not to want to install Chrome and the Chrome Toolbar, OR ANY OTHER SOFTWRE YOU FOIST UPON THEM WITHOUT NOTIFICATION IN A FLASH PLAYER UPDATE!!!???  This is the height of arrongance. From this point on I will NEVER trust an Adobe update. And, if I can find it, I'll also use other vendor's software products.  I've been a BIG Adobe fan since I first started using your products in 1988.  NOT ANYMORE!!!  I've read and ignored the ever-growing chorus of Adobe customers who have become disenchanted with your software and your business practices, believeing that this was the ramblings of a minority of your customers.  But after this morning's forced installation of Google Chrome and Google Toolbar I realize that these customers are correct in their assessment of your company.  Consider me one less satisfied customer who will be telling the proverbial 13 people how utterly dissatisfied I am with your business practices.

    Hi Bill,
    Unfortunately I don’t have any answers.  My story is exactly the same as yours.  In fact I kept getting Google Chrome d/loaded on to my system and didn’t know how… I’d never sought it.
    Yesterday Flash Player wanted to update… and just in the course of installing, I noticed that it was also installing Chrome & Toolbar so I cancelled the installation. 
    To me it is the height of arrogance that a company can attached to its download something which you do not want and have no choice in having…
    The only thing I can think of… and don’t have time today… is to contact Adobe and give them a serve.  However, this may not change things either… could be that they have sold ‘attachment rights’ to Google for Chrome/Toolbar… who would know… they should however give the right to refuse.
    Similarly I have a Nokia Windows Phone… the updating/sync software required for this is  “Zune”.  It downloads a whole pile of Apple stuff, “Bonjour, ITunes, Apple Software Support, Apple Updater…(all 280 MB of Apple),  whole host of things which I just don’t want or need on my computer… just bugs the hell out of me.. again, no choice, no check boxes.  I don’t do “Apple”.. I hate the way that they push advertising… “this email sent by my iPhone”… who gives a…. rats?  Don’t get me started… so many things, even down to car purchase and service… they stick their promo stickers all over your vehicle or rego plate… never ask if you want them or not. If I lent/gave objection to everything which bugs me about denigrating ones’ personal choice/privacy… I’d be writing a tome! J
    You could try complaining to the communication ombudsman or the body who monitors internet stuff.
    Have a good day.
