New folder do not open empty

New folders do not open empty but have contents from a subfolder of finder. I also had an empty folder on desktop so I renamed it & opened it only to find the same content. any help or suggestions appreciated.
2012 Mac Mini with OS 10.9.4

No worries. You can take as long as you like to reply - as long as you extend me the same courtesy
Selecting the Finder menu's Preferences > General shows the following, or something like it:
Selecting the "New Finder windows show" results in the following popup menu, or something like it:
You can select any of the folders that appear, or any other that you specify with the "Other..." choice.
If that is not what you are seeing, describe what's different.
Hopefully the above screenshots appear for you. A persistent bug on this support site often prevents them from appearing. If all you see is a blank box then the screenshots are not appearing.

After Mountain Lion installation a new folder does not open

After installing Mountain Lion when creating a new folder in my home folder the new, empty folder will not open correctly. When double clicked, the new, empty folder shows the other folders in my home folder not an empty folder. The icons displayed also get slightly smaller.
If the newly created folder is clicked once it remains selected until a new selection is made in the sidebar. Doing this also does not allow any other folder in the home folder to be selected.

Same type of problem as described in this thread:

To to get new Photos to not open automatically when I plug in iphone/ipad

Hi,
Photos is probably better than iPhoto for personal images, BUT:
I need to make the new Photos app not open automatically every time I plug in an iPhone or iPad or camera into the computer.
I take a lot of photos for work and I import those through the Image Capture App which allows me to import photos into a specific set folder - not my photos folder.
Also, related, how do I make iTunes not automatically open when I plug in the iphone/ipad. I keep my music on one computer and not on my work computer, so it is annoying when I plug an iPhone or iPad into the work computer and it automatically opens iTunes.
Finally, what happened to the delete function on the Image Capture app? It was so easy - import a bunch of photos into a certain folder, then delete those photos off the device through Image Capture.
Apple, by forcing us to use your consumer products, you are making it so inconvenient for pros who want more control over our process and file structure!

In iPhoto>Preferences>General, set Image Capture as the default camera handler.

In iTunes (with the device pugged in) Preferences, disable the 'Open iTunes when device is plugged in' option.

It's still there (on my Mac)

We are just Apple users (like you), we did not do anything. (Including forcing you, nobody did that)

New folder is not visible inside my project but shows in Windows Explorer.

I created a new folder under another folder. The new folder is not visible inside my project but shows in Windows Explorer. Also, if I try to add another folder of that same name, it denies the action since the folder (although invisible) already exists. My co-worker can access the same file (on a share drive) and see the new folder just fine. This error occurs whether I was the one creating the new folder or she is the one creating the new folder. I am new to RoboHelp and she has used it for years. I suspect something is not yet set up right on my side. Ideas? (I thought I posted this yesterday but I can't find it anywhere)

Hi there
What version of RoboHelp are you using?
Did you create the folder from inside RoboHelp or did you create it using Windows Explorer?
Cheers... Rick

Hi jcatx2013, we don't really have enough information on your system to make specific suggestions...
Could you test in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
Any difference?

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

"Fire-vault protected home folder did not open and needs to be repaired."

I recently updated my macbook to leopard and after my laptop downloaded system updates, it had to restart but when I came to the login section and tried to login, I get this message:
"Fire-vault protected home folder did not open and needs to be repaired. Click OK to repair the folder and continue logging in. Click Cancel login to log in as a different user."
I don't have a different user so I clicked OK, but then I get this message:
"You are unable to log in to the user account "Kyle" at this time. Logging in to the account failed because an error occured."
So now I can't login and I'm a college student and need important files on my computer. Someone please help! I have class tomorrow!

Sorry, I re-read your question and realize from the title you had file vault on upgraded and now it won't let you into the home folder. This is a known issue and I hope Apple produce a fix. I encountered this problem but fortunately I took a bootable image backup to a firewire drive. I booted off that as root and then opened the sparese image which is the home folder. This gave warnings but let me copy important documents to safety and also export address book and safari book marks.
If you do not have a backup I am very sorry to say you may have lost those files. It is worth backing up important college work, even if it is just to CD. I hope Apple come up with a fix for this because many of us hit this problem. Part of the reason for owning a Mac is you do not expect to have these issues. It made me feel like I had just installed XP!

Well, it is showing as being install in the version of Firefox that you posted here with.

''''' "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. <br />

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

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
