Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit)

7.0 will not open today!!! Please help

any idea why photoshop 7.0 will not open? it opens every morning for us but today it scrolls through the plug ins and goes back to desk top? now we are dead in the water.....need help!

If it worked yesterday and you have not made any changes in software or hardware I would reset the preferences.
This is a really old program, but if it is same as new ones click on photoshop icon to start and IMMEDIATELY hold down the Ctrl + Alt + Shift keys. You will get a reset window if done properly.
It is a little tricky so keep trying until you get the reset window.

Firefox should open a new window if you use Firefox > New Private window and not close windows that are currently open.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

A single Firefox window with many tabs will not appear, yet other new windows will?

I've had this problem a few times before. .
Whenever I start up the browser, the one window with most of my tabs, about 30+ of them stays stuck in the taskbar. I know that the pages are loaded, yet for some reason, which I think may be that a single page has prevented the whole window, with all of the important tabs from appearing, to be the case.
So I was wonder if there is anyway to fix this while saving my precious tabs?
I can open up new windows by right clicking on the stuck window in the taskbar, which I have done in order to ask for help on this issue. I hope that this is understandable enough, thanks.

Please continue in your other post if you still have problems after deleting the below mentioned files or with a new profile.
*[[/questions/898647]]
It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js [3] files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

When I attempt to open a new tab by clicking the "new tab" button on the tabs bar, the tab will not open. Can this be fixed and how?

When I open my Firefox browser, the normal 1 tab comes up. But when I attempt to open new tabs with the "new tabs" button, a new tab will not open. I have also tried right-clicking on the tabs toolbar but tabs will not open. The only way I can get a new tab to open is by right-clicking on a link and selecting the "open new tab" option in the right-click menu.

The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13 version. Disable that extension or un-install it.

When I click on the new tab button, a new tab does not open or when I go to file new tab a new tab will not open either.

Un-install the '''''Ask Toolbar''''' until Ask fixes the problem caused by their toolbar.

Well, it is showing as being install in the version of Firefox that you posted here with.
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.21) Gecko/20110830 '''AskTb'''AD3/3.12.2.16749 Firefox/3.6.21
''''' "and whenever I click on a bookmark, it opens in a new tab automatically" '''''
Probably caused by an extension, or a couple of extensions that are in conflict with each other.

Try disabling the Ask Toolbar extension, and see how it is.

Maybe you should reset all preferences as there seem to be a lot that have been modified (e.g. network.http and plugin.expose_full_path should have the default value). If you haven't changed them yourself and don't know what they are about then you should leave them at the default.
You can delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js files and a possible user.js file to reset all prefs to the default values.

Verity Credit Union site will not open with the new Firefox. How can I get the old Firefox back?

I want old Firefox back. My credit union, Verity, will not open with the new version of Firefox I have downloaded.

@glennhaste, the public pages I visited seem identical in IE8 and Fx10, but you may be referring to a part of the site that requires logging in (impossible for non-customers to view).
Since the problem is so recent, can you recall any changes you made in Firefox, or are you aware of any changes your CU made on its site?
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
1. Clear Firefox's Cache
Firefox > Preferences > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Offline Storage : "Clear Now"
2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here
While viewing a page on the site, "right-click" and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies" (''Sorry, I don't know how you right-click on a Mac'')
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

I need to install iWork 09 so I can open the many pages document files that will NOT open under the new pages 5. Mavericks will not accept an install from my iWork's 09 CD. How do I get around this?

I need to install iWork 09 so I can open the many pages document files that will NOT open under the new pages 5. Mavericks will not accept an install from my iWork's 09 CD. How do I get around this?

Hi, I'm helping StringSinger2 with this problem.
The previously installed version is Pages 3.0.3 (the same as from iWork 08). This version (Pages 3.0.3/iWork 08) is incompatible with Pages 5.
That is why it would be helpful to install iWork 09, which is the version between the two. It will open the older 08 files, and its saved files are readable by the new Pages5.
SO...
When I try to install iWorks 09 from my retail DVD the error message is "the installer is damaged". (I know the dvd is good, I installed iWorks09 to my laptop today.) Is the "installer" part of the system files? And - If that is damaged is there a patch for that?
Many Thanks!

Content tab will not open

When trying to manage my pop-ups under the Content tab I'm finding that the tab will not open. All the other tabs will open, but when clicking Content, the previous tab's info stays on the screen and the Content tab's info (Pop-Up Blocker, etc) doesn't appear.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

ok, i was just basing this assumption on a report from another users a few minutes ago: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/971806#answer-497599
as a general troubleshooting procedure, can you try to launch firefox in safemode once and see if the issue is reproducible there too?
