Lately(2013) when i click a link in Firefox, the window that opens is maximaized instead of half or quarter sized like it has always been. why? fixes?

Just recently May 2013, when I click on a link that opens a new window, the window opens as maximized instead of the reduced size it normally does. why? I can't find any support for this issue. I am operating Windows 7 with service pak 1. And using Firefox 21.0. is this a bug? how do I fix it?

That worked perfectly. not sure how i pressed f11, but thank you so much!

When I click email links on firefox, it won't open my AOL email client to continue, I get "The file may not be supported by AOL, AOL will try to open it as a text file if you choose to continue" how to fix?

When I click email links on firefox, it opens AOL, but comes up like this.. "The file may not be supported by AOL, AOL will try to open it as a text file if you choose to continue" how to fix? and yeah, I know, ditch AOL and all that good stuff, but I have so many things tied into my email address that it's not in the cards atm..
Thanks!

That file might have moved to a different location on the server. I think you'll need to check with RefWorks support or your local IT department on why the install page links do not work.

When I use "Email link" in Firefox, the Outlook message default formatting changes (font, font size, paragraph spacing) - how can I stop this from happening?

In Outlook, my default message format includes the following:
Font: Arial 10pt font
Spacing: Before: 0pt, After: 0pt
When I email a link from Firefox, a new message opens, which has the following formatting:
If I type anything before the URL, the formatting is:
Font: Arial 10pt font
Spacing: Before: 0pt, After: 0pt
If I type anything after the URL, the formatting is:
Font: Times New Roman 12pt font
Spacing: Before: Auto, After: Auto
This doesn't happen with Internet Explorer - when emailing a link, my default message format is retained.
Since I email a lot of links for my job, and I prefer to use Firefox, this is a pretty annoying issue!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Michelle
Outlook 2007
Firefox 36.0.4

From Firefox, I click on "File' and then 'Email link'.
This results in a new Outlook message opening automatically, with the URL copied into the body of the message.
I then add my own text, see the screenshot image. That's where the formatting problems come in!

When I click on a help subject the screen that appears is frequently blank.

I also have this problem. The Number two shows up in the App Store screen. I go to purchases and there are no apps that require updating. The number two in the App Store still remains on my screen. Has anybody found the solution yet? I called Apple, Only to be told that I should back up to iTunes on the computer, and then restore my iPad from the computer to eliminate the number two on the App Store screen. I'm hesitating to do that. Suggestions?

The window that opens when I click on the Time Machine icon is Finder (devices) and when I close this Time Machine also closes.

You will need to be much more specific about what you problem is. That is how TM works. That is how you find things to restore from TM, by using a Finder window so that you can browse through the Mac's hierarchy of folders and files.
Why are you double posting this?

When I click on links in websites the links don't work unless I right click and choose open website in another tab/window. This is even a problem on the Firefox page.

When I try to open a link on any page/website Firefox does not open the link. It doesn't even "work" at opening the link, it just sits idling. I have to right click and choose "open link in new tab/window" in order for Firefox to open the link. It doesn't happen 100% of the time but happens especially if there is a button or picture that must be clicked. Simple text links seem to work more often then button or picture links. One example provided below. When you click on the "launch Jumpstart" button it will not open unless you right click & open new. This also happens from my Yahoo! Email account, on Facebook, Cructhfield.com and other websites with "button" related links.

I have the same problem but it appears that an add-on I'm using is causing the problem. Try opening Firefox in safe mode (which disables add-ons) Then try it. If that solves the problem, you need to disable all your add ons and enable them one by one to figure out which one(s) is causing the problem.

When i click a link i get The Address wasn't understood

I use outlook. When I click on a link i get a message that "the address wasn't understood". I need to open links.

Do you mean Outlook, the program that is part of Microsoft Office on your PC, or Outlook, the new Hotmail?
If you right-click > Copy Link Location and then paste it into the address bar, does it start with an unusual protocol? I mean, something other than http or https? If so, Firefox might not be set up to open links with that protocol. What is it?

I clicked a link in another program that opened a link in Firefox, but only that opened, not any of my 50 saved tabs from last session. What can I do?

So I clicked a link in a program that opened in Firefox. I had over 50 tabs from the course of a couple months I was saving, so "go back in your history" is not a practical option. I use the "Restore Tabs From Last Session" (or whatever the exact wording is) so I can just close and open and get all my tabs back. This time only this one link opened, nothing else did (like I remember it usually doing). How am I to restore that previous session? It's crucial for me to get all that stuff back, it drives me crazy when this happens (it's why I dropped Chrome and came here to Firefox, better memory management and less crashes).

Restore your Previous Session
*https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/restore-previous-session
You can try to restore a previous version of the sessionstore.js or sessionstore.bak file. You need to rename the .bak file to .js to make Firefox see that session.
*right-click: Properties > Previous Versions

When sharing a link from Firefox, the program automatically opens Internet Explorer and not Thunderbird. Can Thunderbird be made the default for sharing links from Firefox?

When sharing a link or page via email, either the webpage or Firefox will open up Internet Explorer to share the link or page. As I use Thunderbird for emailing, could Firefox open Thunderbird automatically instead of internet Explorer?

When I click on a icon it pauses and then opens up tabs instead of just opening up the icon? How can I get it to go back to working the way it used to? Thank you!!!

When i click on an icon it holds it down for a long time and then opens up different tabs instead of just opening up the icon

By "tabs", do you mean something like this -
If that is what you see, then you may be right-clicking on the icon instead of left-clicking on it.
Right-clicking or Control-clicking on an icon in the Dock will bring up a menu like that (it is a contextual menu, so its content varies a bit from program to program).
Usually, it is necessary to only click an icon in the Dock once in order to start up the program (if it has been quitted) or make it active (if it has not been quitted).

When I use "Email Link" with Firefox, the "send" button in Thunderbird is grayed out.

OS X 10.9.4
The option of manually copying the link and pasting would work, but I've always been able to use "Email Link" from the "File" menu until the last few days.
Restarting the computer did not help.

Do you have an address in the address field? The send button stays greyed out until there is something in the address field.

Using javascript or HTML, When I click a link to a named page that already loaded in a tabbed page the tabbed page does not show, but you can see that the page relaoded. Using HTML or javascript what script will make this happen? The javascript focus() fu

If a page is already loaded into a tab then using any of the following scripts will not cause the tabbed page to show when the link to it is clicked (created via PHP):
"Continue Shopping".

The first HTML works perfectly in the Safari browser.

Every time Firefox opened
== Always

The scripts for this should have shown as:

When i click a link on any web page mozilla opens a new window instead of opening the link on the opened window?

when clicking on any link on any webpage a new window opens.
Eg. On the bbc home page if you click "news" a new window opens instead of going to the news page of the web.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes). 
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]] 
 
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. 
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions. 
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

When I click for a new tab this window now opens ... "chrome://nspdlmsd/content/newtab/newtab.html" - I want it to go back to being a blank page.

As above.
For the past few days now, whenever I click 'open new tab' in firefox it opens immediately at the url posted above. I did, unsuspectingly which is how they get you if you are not careful, installed MySearchDial but removed it completely through add/remove and start/search. I even have new windows opening up with content I do not like at all ... my home page is the same again, but I cannot seem to figure out how to get my new tab to open in a blank page again (btw at the bottom of this 'chrome' page there is an mysearch.com icon - I have googled 'how to remove this' with no success).
I do not use Chrome and do not have it listed as one of the operating programs on my computer. However, when I start/search "chrome" there is a complete list of files and folders that are found and I am unsure if I should delete them all since many of them appear to be directly associated with Firefox. Please - this is frustrating ... what can I do to get rid of this garbage on my computer?

The "MySearchDial" app needs to be removed in 4 places.
1) Go to "add / remove programs" in your windows control panel select mysearchdial and remove it.
2) Open your Firefox browser then click the Firefox tab at the top left and select options. You will need to change the start page settings back to your preferred start page.
3) Again under the Firefox tab select "add-ons". In the add-ons manager you will need to remove mysearchdial from both "plugins" and "extensions"
4) In your search bar (top right of address bar" use the drop down menu and select "manage search engines". You can restore your preferred search engine and remove mysearchdial from the menu.
This should remove all the components of the nuisance hijacker and restore your browser back to your preferred settings. If you are comfortable with a more in depth removal I would also suggest going to your "programs" folder within the "C" drive of your machine and deleting the "MySearchDial" folder altogether. However, only do this AFTER you have uninstalled it from your system and if you are familiar with this type of removal.

Lately(2013) when i click a link in Firefox, the window that opens is maximaized instead of half or quarter sized like it has always been. why? fixes?
