Multiple Tabs Warning on CLOSING windows is NOT WORKING, why?

Firefox used to warn me when multiple tabs where going to be closed (even in private browsing or without remembering history). Now it is closing the WHOLE window with multiple tabs inside. (Of course the option is checked in the preferences). So normally it should work. But it doesn't now. When i click by mistake on the X (close button) of the main window, it closes all the tabs without warning.

Hi,
You can try to set '''browser.showQuitWarning''' in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config about:config] to true, and also change '''When Firefox starts''' in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options''' > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20General%20panel?as=u General] to anything other than '''Show my windows and tabs from last time'''.

  • The overwrite tab in the source window is not working

    I'm following a tutorial and i seem to be doing everything as indicated but my "Overwrite Tab" in my source wind is not working ... any suggestions?

    I am guessing you did not source patched your track.

  • Having multiple tabs open in one window, and then opening a new window and closing it, will close the newly opened window, but it will want to close the other original window with the multiple tabs as well.

    This only happens if the original window has multiple tabs, and the new window has only ONE tab at the moment you close it.
    Also, the problem only occurs when TWO windows of firefox are open. So opening up a 3rd window, and then closing it, will not give you any problems. The interaction occurs between two windows of firefox only.

    This can happen if you drag a tab slightly down in the browser window while clicking.
    Firefox has a feature called tear-off tabs
    You can detach a tab from the current window and open it in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window.
    You can also do this via the right-click context menu of a tab: Move to New Window
    You can drag that tab back to the tab bar in the original window to undo that detaching.

  • Closed all firefox windows by clicking the x 'cancel', then 'close tabs'. After reboot, couldn't recover open tabs, (options were not highlighted under History , i.e. Recently Closed Tabs or Recently Closed Windows). Why couldn't I recover my tabs?

    When rebooting mac, I closed all firefox windows by clicking the cancel "x" and then clicked "close tabs". After rebooting I could not recover my open tabs, as none of the options were highlighted under History , i.e. Recently Closed Tabs or Recently Closed Windows.

  • 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.<br />
    Separate the URLs with spaces.
    start "" "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" http://www.yahoo.com http://www.google.com http://www.firefox.com

  • Popups: Navigation from view to window does not work

    Hi,
    I open a second window as popup. This window has 2 views embedded, displaying view1 first. On some actions I would like to navigate to view2.
    Defining an outbound plug on view1 and an inbound plug on view2, connecting them and firing the outbound withith the onaction works absolutely fine.
    However, for some reasons I would like to avoid a direct navigation, but would like to navigate from view1 to the popupo window and from there to view2 (or maybe another view, ofcourse also embedded in the same popup window). Unfortunately I fail on this scenario - I can fire the view-to-window plug, but the destination on the window side (handle in method) is never reached.
    Since the same concept works fine on non-popup windows I wonder whether a navigation from view to embedded window does not work for popups?
    Any idea?

    Hi Yashpal,
    no, just one window.
    The first link is view1 -> window, the second window -> view2.
    I.e., I fire in the view the outbound plug, which is connected with its window.
    In the window I fire an outbound plug, which is connected to view2.
    In theory this should work - for non-popup windows I do not have any problem at all, however, for popup windows the navigation from view1 to the window is not processed.
    In the meantime I played a little bit further: Instead of firing a navigation from view1, I now fire an event defined in the component contoller, on which an event method is registered within the window. Doing so, I reach the window, which I didn't reach via the navigation link. Once in the window, firing to view2 works just fine ...
    Hope the issue is a bit clearer now. Also I found a solution, I am surprised that the simpler way via navigation does not work.

    Hello anyone with Windows 7, not sure why having followed instructions above, install of latest version of itunes won't work and can no longer open old version either.  anyone help with this?

    Hi,
    thanks for your reply.
    Yes, except n°1 - empty Temp directory, I had tried/checked all of those.
    I emptied the local temp folder tonight, but it still won't work.
    Please note: the installation doesn't give me any problem. The program was working fine, until at one point *plouf* it stopped working. I can re-install it without any problem, it just crashes when opening.
    \\edit\\ I seem to have located the problem, it's in the library files. If I re-install iTunes without my library, it works fine (though there is no music in it, yet). As soon as I import my library, or replace the My Music\iTunes folder with the old one, it stops working.

  • Same issue Network Discovery not working and Windows Update not working

    I've read the threads. 
    This is a Vista Ultimate upgrade. My OOOOH My I have clocked 8 hours
    Everything was working before. I tried all of the recommended  services turning on restarting.
    Also, ran into the problem of my memory being eaten. Suspected cause hibernate mode, which I had to disable. Scott Hasselman blog recommended the fix which is a cheap work around that limits machines functionality!!
    I'm and IT Engineer specializing in MS product lines since Windows 1.0. MFC foundation classes etc.. What is the real problem ?
    I don't have the NetBIOS over tcp/ip in my services?
    I figure that the cost of my time and other individuals pays for the OS four times over. Give me a Microsoft developer subscription or something to make me happy. This is my development machine and I'm loosing time and money.
    FYI, Just upgraded my second machine to Windows 8.1 OMG !!2 Hours to upgrade after the download. I loose my configuration settings. I required to have a Windows Live whatever account!!! This is not the way to compete and keep customers.
    Windows XP has been by far the best deployment experience. I need a Knowledge base that gives solutions , not a troubleshooting scenario that does or does not work!!
    Please , don't tell me to go and by a OEM Surface I cannot recommend this to my clients. 
    Thank You

    Hi,
    If it worked previously, a quick solution is to run System Restore and get back to the previous status when the issue didn’t occur.
    What is System Restore?
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/What-is-System-Restore
    When you turn on network discovery, do you get any error prompt?
    Please check if you have any error message about network discovery in event viewer.
    Open Event Viewer
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Open-Event-Viewer
    What information appears in event logs (Event Viewer)?
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/What-information-appears-in-event-logs-Event-Viewer
    Please use Windows Live SkyDrive (http://www.skydrive.live.com/) to upload the Error logs to a public folder and share the URLs with us.
    Also, please temporarily turn off your firewall and all the security programs for a test.
    As far as I know, Network discovery requires that the DNS Client, DNS Client, Network Connections, Network Location Awareness,  Remote Procedure Call (RPC), Function Discovery
    Resource Publication, TCP/IP Netbios helper, SSDP Discovery, and UPnP Device Host services are started and set to automatic.
    You should check again if you have started all these services.
    Regarding the update issue, I suggest you try the following suggestions.
    1. Temporarily disable firewall and antivirus program to test the issue.
    2. Open the Windows Update troubleshooter
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Open-the-Windows-Update-troubleshooter
    3. Reset Windows Update components

  • Windows updates not working because it extract patches on Mac partition first., Windows updates not working because it extract patches on Mac partition first.

    I have installed BootCamp 5.1 and Windows updates not working because it extract files on Mac partition before installation. Is there any workaround for same ?

    To replicate this issue - Try to download .net framework 4.5 from microsoft website and than run that setup on windows partition.
    Before installation. it will first extract all the binaries to a other drivers, since in my case other primary drive is E which is a Mac partition so it always give me an error while extractiing and therefore setup is not able to execute propely.
    Let me try to get the screen shot of error and send it here.
