My Setting won't stay! (open new windows in a new tab instead)

I m currently using Firefox 5.0 Korean version.
Everytime i un-check the "open new windows in a new tab instead" option, after a while, it gets checked again somehow.
I tried clearing cookies and un-installing all the addons, but it keeps being checked again.
How do i make it stay un-checked..?

Adobe Reader XI won't stay open in Windows 7; Solutions don't work

My Adobe reader was working fine under Windows 7 and all of a sudden it stopped working. It opens, starts opening a file and before it finishes opening the file, it closes. I have unstalled Adobe Reader XI using the Adobe Cleaner Tool provided on the community board website and reinstalled it from the Adobe.com website. I also went to the eula.exe file and clicked accept which was a suggestion on the community board. Please help

Other things you could try...
Update Reader to 11.0.5
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
If you cannot open Reader by itself, try to disable Protected Mode in the registry; download, unzip, then run the attached registry script
It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

Firefox won't save my setting for 'Open new window in a new tab instead' when I close Firefox.

When I am doing my internet banking I need to have the setting option for 'Open new window in a new Tab instead' Un-checked (disabled). Problem is this setting is not being saved the next time I open Firefox. That is every time I close Firefox (all open window and tabs), the next time I open it up again, this setting has re-enabled itself again. I just can't get Firefox to remember this setting for me.

Tabs only open in a new window. Ctl T opens a new window NOT a new tab help-last update this problem started. How do I set FF back to open tabs in 1 window

Tabs only open in a new window. Ctl T opens a new window NOT a new tab help-last update this problem started 2 days ago. How do I set FF back to open tabs in 1 window?
There is no plus sign and going into optins and changing settings has not worked. I have uninstall FF and reinstall-keeping my personalization-and that was no help.
Right clicking on FF Icon to open a new tab, or going up to FF drop down tab and clicking on new tab both do not work.
Help everything opens a new window not a new tab. there seems to be no way to reset this or to chose a different optin. I just downloaded new tabs at end addon and it didn't do a thing.

as a first troubleshooting step - does it work like normally when you open & run firefox in [[Safe Mode|safemode]] by pressing the shift key while you open firefox (all other instances have to be closed before)...

Firefox 4 was set on "Open new windows in a new tab instead." I unclicked that to test opening in a new window. Decided to go back to the tab option, clicked on it but it does not engage and Firefox 4 continues to open in a new window. Is this a glitch?

I did try rebooting, no go. If anyone knows a way to get that option working, it would be appreciated. Thanks.

(''Note: cross posted from [https://support.mozilla.com/nl/questions/801471 here].'')
I had the same problem, but was able to fix it somewhat.
# Open the about:config page.
# Set the ''browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction'' setting to 0 (= zero).
On my machine this will open new windows in a new tab. However, it switches to the new tab regardless of the setting ''"When I open a link in new tab, switch to it immediatly"''.

Can I set default to always open a link in a new window, as opposed to a new tab?

Can I set a default to always open a link in a new window, rather than a new tab?

No, not to '''''always''''' open a link in a new window. Whether a link opens in the same window or a new window depends on the the page creator specifying ''new'' or ''blank'' for that link. ''Firefox can divert the new/blank window to a Tab instead, which is the default setting.''
If you don't want tabs when a new/blank window is specified, deselect the pref for ''' Open new windows in a new tab instead''' in Tools > '''Options > Tabs'''

I would like to UNCHECK "Open new windows in a new tab instead" vlia a win 7 registery setting. Is it possibe?

we are running Firefox 3.6.18 on Windows 7 sp1 OS. I need to change about 500 pc's /update an image. Do not want to re-image for this problem (no time). Is there a "reg entry" that I can push out to the pc's to reverse the default "Open new windows in a new tab instead"

Maybe you can do that via a mozilla.cfg file.
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
You can use these functions in mozilla.cfg:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

Reminders Info Window Won't Stay Open

Reminder info (location, date, time) won't stay open long enough for me to input location. Winndow fades away before it can search for a location i.e. trying to input Airport but fades before I can enter airport name.

I have given up. Sometimes it takes me 4 or 5 times to open the window before I can complete my short entry. I think it definetely has to do with syncing and iCloud. I wish there was a way to setup the frequency of syncs or something.
I have resorted to using notes. It syncs with iCloud, but doesn't seem to show the same quirky behavior
Reminders is SO frustrating to use on any level. It is half baked IMO, this issue, can't sort the lists, can't do a delete all for completed items.

Keypad won't stay open

When I'm trying to type in numbers to get through an answering service, the keypad won't stay open. The screen actually goes blank while I'm typing. I have to press the button to get it to wake up, and, if I'm lucky, I can get another button pressed before it goes to sleep again.
This is the only problem I have with this phone, but it is becoming very irritating. I just had to enter a prescription number 3 times. Is there something I'm doing wrong to make it go to sleep?

This is not a normal function of the iPhone. There is no setting or nothing your doing wrong.
To be honest these are the solutions that may or may not work.
First thing I would try is rebooting the phone by holding the sleep/wake button and home button for 15 seconds until you see the white apple logo.
If that doesn't work I would restore from backup. If that doesn't work I would restore as new. If all else fails take it to your closest apple store they may replace the phone for a working one..

Numbers won't stay open

When I open Numbers, it won't stay open. It opens, I select the document I want to edit, click on a cell and Numbers shuts down. It also shuts down if it's open and I click on a window for another app. No crash message or anything like that. Just - poof, and it's gone. Thanks for your help.

Do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 10.0.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 the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data because all profile folders will be removed.
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.
If that still gives problems then create a new profile.

'Open New Windows In A New Tab' is not working when the popup is invoked by Flash

I surf a lot of porn sites. And some of them invoke a popup if you click the play button of their Flash player. Even though I have FF set to 'Open New Window In A New Tab', this isn't working if a window is invoked by a Flash object. For example, if I want to watch porn clip on tnaflix.com and click the Play button, then a popup window of livejasmin.com comes up. But it doesn't open in a new tab. It opens in a new window, even though I've set the above mentioned option. This is very annoying. Please, fix it.

Thanks for the responses and sorry for taking a while to get back. I have been looking around but not sure where is the "about: config page." When I click on Firefox "about" there is nothing to configure. What do I click on? TIA

I have the open new windows in a new tab option selected yet it still opens in the same window.

Firefox v28.0, Mac OS X 10.9.2, 3.5 GHz Intel Core i7.
Operating in safe mode. In the preferences menu I have the "Open new window in a new tab instead" box checked yet when I click on links the new page opens in the current window. If I control click I have the option of opening the new window in a new tab

The setting in Tools > Options > Tabs: "New pages should be opened in": "a new tab/window" is for links that specify a target window to open the link. 
That option allows to divert such links to a new tab instead of a new window.
Links that do not specify a target always open in the current tab unless you override that with a middle-click or Ctrl left-click (new tab) or Shift left-click (new window) or via the right-click context menu.

Firefox 34.0.5: Live bookmarks (RSS feeds) won't stay open! :(

Firefox 34.0.5: Live bookmarks (RSS feeds) won't stay open! If I close Firefox and reopen it, all my live bookmark folders are closed and I have to manually reopen them (such as BBC World News, etc.). Please restore the old functionality: If I have it open when I quit, let it be open when I come back! If I had it closed, then keep it closed. Thanks!

Thanks for your reply and for taking an interest. I've attached the screenshot in PNG format--hope that's okay. I use bookmarks only in the Sidebar, never in the toolbar (I just have way too many!)
The BBC News live bookmark that is shown opened in that screenshot always comes back closed after I close Firefox and reopen it. (This is true for ALL other live bookmarks as well. Formerly, in earlier versions of Firefox, the open ones always remained open, and the closed ones closed, which is the correct behavior, imho.)

Calendar won't stay open and turns off after one second

after a recent applications install my calendar won't stay open for more than a second and can't be utilized. I've reset and restored. What next? I'm suspicious that the restore is using the same corruted file. Can I rsetore from my Time capsule?

Restore "as new", as opposed to "from a backup", if you haven't already. I'm surprised a reset didn't solve the problem.

My Setting won't stay! (open new windows in a new tab instead)
