Multiple Tabs - only first three/four of seven open - others "failed..."

I have a few folders of pages that open in tabs. In previous versions of the OS/Safari It would quickly and painlessly open 7 or more tabs at the same time. Now - My whole Safari 3.0 experience seems slooowww and now when I try and open 6+ tabs at the same time only the first three load. The rest display "failed to open page" When I click on the Tab and reload - it works fine. Whats up?

Only certain people at Adobe would be able to tell us what their plans are for the next RoboHelp Server release. New versions of the product have normally been released in line with the RoboHelp client application. For example RoboHelp 8 and RoboHelp Server 8, RoboHelp 9 and RoboHelp Server 9. For RoboHelp 10 which was released back in July, this was not the case and RoboHelp Server 9 remains the latest release.
I'd strongly advise everyone affected by this issue to submit a feature request via the link below. Only if this is done will the Product Manager and others see the issues that are being caused.

Email links when clicked causes Firefox to open many multiple tabs, unable to close any of them, in other words, crashes. Anyone else having this problem?

I cannot click on any email links on any pages. It causes Firefox to open many, many multiple tabs, which I cannot close. My only recourse is to quit Firefox and relaunch. It happens most of the time, so that in order to click an email link I must open another browser altogether.

You can look at the network.protocol-handler.external.mailto prefs on the about:config page. 
If network.protocol-handler.external.mailto prefs are user set (bold) then right-click and Reset them to the default value. 
You can open about: pages via the location bar like you open a website.
Did you try to delete the file mimeTypes.rdf in the Firefox Profile Folder?

Can I open multiple tabs in Firefox when WINDOWS starts up? Command line limits to about 204 characters...

I know how to configure Firefox so that it opens multiple tabs every time you open ''Firefox''. I want it to open multiple tabs when I start ''Windows''. Or in other words, I don't want to connect to multiple web pages every time I open a browser, just the first time I log on for the day.
I tried appending the web sites in the command line of a Firefox shortcut in my Windows Startup folder. The problem is that in this approach, you're limited to as many URL's as you can type in about 204 characters ('C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe' uses up 52 of the 256 characters available in a shortcut).
Is there a way to open more tabbed web sites than that?
What would be cool is if there was something like a FFstartup.ini file or something, where you could provide a list of websites as long as you want, and it would open them all. So, the command line would look like:
'C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe' 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\FFstartup.ini'
...and the FFstartup.ini file would look like:
[Startup]
'http://www.yahoo.com'
'http://www.google.com'
'http://www.firefox.com'
etc...
If there's no current way to do this, how would I make this suggestion to be developed?
Thank you!

Use a .bat or .cmd file to start Firefox if you need more space than the target line in a shortcut allows. 
Separate the URLs with spaces.

Firefox 21.0 doesn't warn when closing multiple tabs

I have a Mac OS X, version 10.6.8. I'm using Firefox 21.0. I have the box checked to warn me when closing multiple tabs. It does not. Why? Is there anything I can do to make it work correctly? Any information I've been able to find on the internet is for other versions of Firefox and is of no help to me.

PROBLEM: Windows FF 21.0 warns when closing multiple tabs when ONE occurance of FF is open, but NOT when mutlipe windows are open (then it only warns once I'm down to 1 window open).
I would like a warning for ALL windows' multiple tabs. I know this is possible because that has always been the case until approx. the latest update.
Oddly enough, the only thing close I found is a post from 2011 with the exact opposite problem: warning only when multiple windows are open, but not when 1 window is open.)
SUMMARY attempts gleaned and compiled from the various posts (with no effect):
- at General tab, "Show my home page" is selected ("Show my windows and tabs from last time" is NOT selected)
-at Tabs tab, "Warn me when closing multiple tabs" is selected
- at Privacy tab, "Use custom settings for history" is selected along with "Always use private browsing mode" (is selected); however, this has always been my setting, and I've always received warnings in multiple windows until recently
- staring in Safe mode had no effect
- my about:config boolean settings are appropriately set to true/false
- I've tried restarting Firefox multiple times and restarting the computer; I have not re-installed FF nor restarted from fresh, wiping out all settings because I have so many customizations.
Any other thoughts of what I might try?

Cannot disable close multiple tabs warning

I have tried to disable the warning when FF is closing multiple tabs but the warning still pops up.

Hi,
 
If you want to disable the warning when closing other tabs, set a preference to false: 
In the Location bar, type "about:config" and press Enter. 
The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear. Click I'll be careful, I promise! to continue to the about:config page. 
In the Search field box at the top, type browser.tabs.warnOnCloseOtherTabs. 
Double-click the browser.tabs.warnOnCloseOtherTabs preference to set its value to false. 
Warn me when opening multiple tabs might slow down Firefox: When you open a large number of tabs at once, Firefox will ask you to confirm your choice. This prevents you from accidentally slowing down your system while the pages are loading. Uncheck this option to disable this warning. 
Don't load tabs until selected: Firefox will only load the active tab when it starts or restores your previous session. This can make startup much faster if you are restoring many tabs. The other open tabs will be loaded as you click on them. 
When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately: When you middle-click on a Web link (or hold down Ctrl while clicking with the left mouse button), the page will be opened in a new tab. That page will not be displayed and will load in a background tab. Check this option to load and display the page in a new foreground tab instead. 
Show tab previews in the Windows taskbar: When you move your pointer over the Firefox icon in the Windows 7 taskbar, Windows will show you a preview of the Firefox window. With this option check marked, Windows will show you a separate preview for each tab.

Warn me when closing multiple tabs is not checked, but I still receive the warning when closing multiple tabs

After installing Firefox 16.0.1, I always get a warning whenever I close multiple tabs, even though there is no check mark against the option, "Warn me when closing multiple tabs".

This a recent bug problem. In other versions do no exist. Some users like warnings, but others not, like me.

Firefox 25.0.1 Warn when closing multiple tabs (on) conflicts with "show windows und tabs from last time" (on); need both, but only one or the other works.

Using Firefox 25.0.1 on Windows 7 Home Premium
I've poured through support forums for Mozilla Firefox searching for a fix to my initial problem of the "Warn when closing multiple tabs" pop up not popping up when I have it selected.
Went through About:Config, making sure warnings for tabs und closing, und showing on quit, und quitting, etc. were all set to true, which were "possible" fixes for the issue I was having, there are like five or six things set to true for warnings/quitting/etc. No avail. They are all set to true.
Then I stumbled across one that suggested a conflict with the "Warn When Closing Multiple Tabs" und the "Show Windows und Tabs from last time".
I use both features. However, I found if I want the warning pop up for closing multiple tabs, I have to have "show homepage" or "show blank page" selected instead of "Show windows und tabs from last time" selected. (Tools>Options>General>Start Up>When Firefox Starts:) The problem with this is, yes, I get my warning pop up, BUT, I don't get my tabs from my last session.
The warning in settings (Tools>Options>Tabs>Warn Me When Closing Multiple Tabs) is checked.
To have my tabs restored from last session, I simply select it for "when firefox starts". Bam, I have my tabs that were open from the last time I quit. Und again, full circle, I don't have my warning pop up.
There were also suggestions of the warning on close for tabs is conflicting with add-ons.
However, I don't have many. Und I have yet to test them to see if they interfere. These are according to my Add Ons tab when I check it myself.
Extensions:
1. Avast WebRep (disabled)
2. HP Smart Web Printing (disabled)
Plugins:
1. Adobe Acrobat
2. Google Update
3. iTunes Application Detector
4. Java (TM) Platform SE 7 U45
5. Shockwave Flash
6. Shockwave For Director
7. Silverlight Plug-In
8. VLC Web Plugin
9. Windows Live Photo Gallery
10. Java Deployment Toolkit (disabled)
Note: The Details Firefox provides says I have these for Plugins
* Shockwave Flash 11.9 r900
* Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 12.0.5.146
* Next Generation Java Plug-in 10.45.2 for Mozilla browsers
* Google Update
* Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 11.0.05
* VLC media player Web Plugin 2.1.0
* 5.1.20913.0
* iTunes Detector Plug-in
* NPWLPG
Unsure of what the "5.1.20913.0" und the "NPWLPG" plugins are, but they don't appear to me under Add Ons.
Und as usual, I'm assuming the solution lies within About:Config, I will show here now what I have set to True.
browser.tabs.warnOnClose - True
browser.tabs.warnOnCloseOtherTabs - True
browser.tabs.warnOnOpen - True
browser.warnOnQuit - True
browser.showQuitWarning - True
As aforementioned:
The seemingly only issue is the conflict between Show Windows/Tabs From Last Time und the Warn On Quit pop up. Und again, I need/want both of them. More so the tabs from the last session, but I really really really really really want the warning.
So, if anyone knows a work around, preferably without having to download anything to fix this, I would be extremely grateful.

You mention a second subject.
''I'm probably going to downgrade to another version of firefox that was suggested to me since I'm also having issues with shockwave flash causing firefox to hang und ultimately needs to be force closed otherwise having to have flash disabled to use firefox.''
Downgrading Firefox 
Flash is notorious for causing Firefox problems. I suggest you start a new thread about that. If at all possible you should try to avoid downgrading to an unsecure & unsupported version of Firefox. it will increase risks to your system and Personal data. (There are methods of mitigating the risks, using a virtual machine or operating within a secure intranet for instance)
*(Do Not) [[Install an older version of Firefox]]
Try Flash with Protected Mode Off 
Worth a try as it takes minimal effort & often solves Flash Problems whilst allowing current and more secure FlashPlayer to be used. See
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Flash_Player_11.3_Protected_Mode_-_Windows
* http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071#TemporaryWorkaround

Your experience in submitting troubleshooting information on the forum 
(This is out of curiosity, but with the intention of pressing for changes if forum faults are discovered.)
There are yet more changes to this forum underway. Mozilla recently tried to improve the experience for first time users of the forum and a troubleshooting app option was included in the workflow to try to encourage users to submit full troubleshooting information.
I would be interested to know what you thought
I sometimes wonder if users are not trying to use that, or whether forum users run into problems in using it. At one point I wondered whether there was a problem if too much data was included but never actually proved that conjecture.
Assuming you are using the forum, and not merely replying by email look towards the top in the right hand margin for clickable buttons

You will note that includes only partial information. There are no changed prefs or extensions listed. Compare for instance the information in this thread [/questions/978130] with full information.

* NPWLPG relates usually to Windows Live Photo Gallery

Chosing "open all in tabs" only opens the first of the bookemarks in the folder.

I have upgraded my computer with a new processor, RAM, MoBo and GPU. I also updated to the latest version of Firefox.
All my bookmarks were transferred over. However there are two main problems. When I select a folder of bookmarks to open and select "open all in tabs" it only opens one tab and then only loads the first bookmark. I tried using a mozbackup to refresh the bookmarks but they still don't open.
However Firefox does open a load of multiple tabs from a previous browsing session. However the number of tabs is wider than my screen. I used to be able to use the scroll wheel on the mouse button to "flow" the bookmarks across the screen but that no longer works.
I have also discovered that I can no longer move tabs along.
All in all FF is stuffed and I am going to have to swap to Opera or another browser as in its current state FF is unusuable.
Please can anyone make any suggestions as to what I can do?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] 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).

HT201272 I downloaded a new album, but the first three to four songs didn't download the entire song. How do I fix this??

I downloaded a new album, but he first three to four songs didn't download completely. Only part of the song is there and then is skips to the next song.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Have you tried deleting the problematic tunes and then re-downloading them from the purchased section within iTunes.

If FF is set to "Never Remember History" and I try to close it with multiple tabs open, it doesn't warn me first. If it remembers history, it warns me about closing multiple tabs. I want that warning AND Don't Remember History back again!

At work I set my PC to not remember history for privacy reasons.
I always have many tabs open, and the warning about closing multiple tabs was a good thing - but now it only works if it remembers history!
I have the "Warn me when closing...." box checked AND all of the lines in about:config regarding these warnings are set to true. I have tried turning it off and back on, restarted the PC.
I discovered this yesterday with FF 3.something, tried updating to FF4.

The "Use custom settings for history" selection allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting this doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.
Firefox shows "Use custom settings for history" as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.
If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".
"Never Remember History" means that Private Browsing is active and "Always use private browsing mode" gets a checkmark.
You need to remove the checkmark on "Always use private browsing mode" to leave Private Browsing mode or chose the "Remember History" setting.

I have only one window open, and get a warning when I exit that "You are about to close multiple tabs."

I have Firefox 8 for Vista, and according to the "About" screen, Firefox is up to date. I heard this might be a problem with my plugins, so I updated them all. Still a problem. I disabled all my plugins and add-ons and still got the message.

ONLY 8 people have this problem?
Look, virtually all Mozilla's potential users are coming from Internet Exploder, which gets this ALMOST RIGHT, while FireF*x does it totally wrong. Including in webmail: there's no way I could have got to this forum without leaving 4 windows active or closing everything, including closing my mail without logging out.
ONLY 8 PEOPLE? How many thousand simply throw up their hands & uninstall yr f- nurdware over this one single issue? Not to bore you with details, but I'm hardly unsympathetic to open sources that don't look like the best argument for Micros**t and Google hegemony.
Btw, I said they get it -almost- right... It would be really nice if IE or >somebody< offered a checkbox to NEVER close multiple tabs. Look, if this bug disguised as a feature is useful to a few nurds by all means keep it as an advanced option, but PLEASE set up FireFox so it at least defaults to the real world.

Since the 4.0.1 update the first Firefox window I open refuses to open tabs, only new windows, and all refuse to show my bookmarks toolbar. All Sync settings and account seem lost.

Since the update the first Firefox window I open refuses to open tabs, only new windows, and all refuse to show my bookmarks toolbar. All Sync settings and account seem lost.

G'day again, I've also lost the option of a 'Stop loading' or 'Refresh' button.

When I open a new firefox window, and click the + to open a new tab, my first page disappears - I can only seem to return to it by closing all the other tabs.

The issue occurs like this:
1. Open a new window
2. Enter a URL and go to a page (any page).
3. Click the + and open a new tab.
4. The first tab is no longer visible in the tabs bar.
5. I keep opening lots of other tabs and the first tab stays invisible (all the others stay visible / accessible).
6. The only way I've found to return to the first tab is to close all my other tabs.
This doesn't always happen (i.e. I can have two firefox windows open and only one of them does it!)
I'm not sure if it's a feature or something? But it's very annoying!
Any ideas welcomed.
Thanks

Hi - yes I can! I hadn't noticed that little arrow before, thanks.
However I would really like to stop it hiding the first tab all the time.... Even when I navigate to the first tab using that "list all tabs" arrow, it still remains 'hidden' (i.e. I can't see a tab up the top, even when that tab is active. And when I navigate away from it to another tab, it is invisible again).
Any ideas?
Thanks

Why will Firefox allow me to have multiple tabs available, but not allow me to switch between tabs, and can only look at a new tab by closing the previous one?

Whenever I open a new tab, it appears on the tab bar where it should, but if I click on it nothing happens, the tab won't open, and I can't switch between multiple tabs. The only way to get to a new tab is to close the one I am currently on, and even then it will only open the next tab in order of precedence, so I can not even choose which tab is the next to view. This problem is making it impossible to use firefox as a research tool which requires fast switching back and forth between multiple tabbed pages simultaneously.

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode". 
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
