New Window command always gives a window within a window

Whenever I do "New Window" in Firefox, I get a "window within a window" (the two X's at the upper right are on top of each other) and I get a "Firefox v" orange tab (which gives a two column menu).
I can't seem to get things to work the old way where the window looks like a regular window instead of a window inside a window.
I'm using Firefox 5 on Windows XP

  • "new window" command always opens a new window that is smallest possible size, so I have to resize it - every time.

    What's causing this?
    Moreover, is this related? I can't see the downloads window. CMD-J isn't brining it up, nor will it appear via the menu.

  • Windows 7 always gives the message ( Not Responding )

    HI,,
    My Laptop gives me the message of ( Not responding ) all the time on all applications .. I make sfc /scannow and it gives me the result ( Corrupting files are existing in windows but it can not be resolved ) ..
    So , how can i repair these corrupted files ...

    Hi,
    Run command chkdsc /r /f check the result.
    If you have a resore point, you can also return your system to a previous state when your computer was functioning fine.
    If this issue doesn't exist in another user account, then it might be related with a corruped user profile, if so, try this link

  • Why do I have to allow a new window every time to open from within another window, Ie, from an email?

    When I try to go to a web site from another web site or from an email from a link, I am required to click on the "ALLOW" button every time. It seems like if I have already clicked on it that I have allowed it. It is very frustrating. If it can't be fixed, I will either go back to an older version of firefox or choose another browser

    hello, you can disable these warnings, when you go to ''firefox > preferences > advanced > general > warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page''.

  • Once I install Downloadhelper, I am no longer able to open the Downloads window (Command-J) or the show all history window.

    I am using Firefox 7.0.1 on Mac 10.7.2, my downloads window and my show all history window would not open. After trying everything, I had to remove all my firefox information from the computer and reinstall then make a new profile with the profile manager. That fixed it but when I re-installed download helper the problem occurred again. I repeated this to make sure it was download helper.

    I located the problem and it is not Downloadhelper. When I open firefox on my second monitor (I use an imac and a second monitor for dual screen) I can no longer see my downloads window.

  • I just installed the lastest update of Firefox and now the Firefox window is always on top of all other windows - what a pain! How can I fix this?

    I looked at all of the options available to me and did not see where there is a link or anything saying "always on top." Is there such a thing somewhere and if so, where?

    Well hells bells - I went to watch TV and came back and all is good. Is it magic? :) (Some days I just plain don't understand anything - I swear!)

  • When i open a new site it always opens up on the side in a narrow window

    I used to click on a site and it would always open up in the full screen. Now when I open a new site it always opens up in a narrow window on the left, 1/5th the size of the full screen, and continues to maintain the previous site in the remainder of the screen (4/5ths). The only way I can create the new site on the full screen is by dragging it over to the 4/5ths screen and then x'g out the narrow one on the left. Why is this happening and how do I eliminate it so that each time I open a new site it will open on the full screen?
    Thank you in advance.

    Are you using a bookmark? There is a little-known feature of bookmarks that can load them in Firefox's sidebar. This allows you to work with two pages side-by-side. To change that setting, right-click the bookmark > Properties, then uncheck the box for "Load this bookmark in the sidebar".
    (You probably didn't set this yourself. If you use a link on a website to have the site add a bookmark to Firefox, due to restrictions on what sites can do, those will always be targeted toward the sidebar.)
    If that's not it, have you noticed any pattern in when this happens?

    Safari is opening using the resume feature. To disable that, quit Safari using Command+Option+Q or Hold Option when choosing the menu item Safari>Quit.

  • When a web page opens a link in a new window, the new page/window is always blank and all i can do is click on the x in the top right corner to get rid of the page

    everytime i click on a link on a webpage that is supposed to open in a new window, the new window is always just a blank white window/page

    Is there a way for me to determine where on my desktop the new web pages open when I click on links?
    Not sure if that can be done but you can press the Expose   key which will show all open windows.

  • Windows Explorer always opens folders in a new window

    Yes, yes, I've googled it already.  And bing-ed it just for fun too.
    This doesn't work:
    http://windowsxp.mvps.org/samewindow.htm
    Nor does this:
    http://blog.hansmelis.be/2009/05/17/windows-vista-explorer-opens-folders-in-a-new-window/
    Yes, yes, I've checked the Open in same folder option in folder options.
    I've used shellex to disable context menu items.
    I've rebooted a hundred times.
    This is rediculous.  Windows should only recognize ONE setting for this and that is the one in folder options.  Anything else that affects it is a BUG!
    I'm on build 7100 RC.
    And I'm quite frustrated with this.
    Please help!

    <<...tried to import the key from that known-good windows installation ...... (but
    was 64bits)...>>
    importing x64 keys to an x86 installation may not work.  HKLM\WOW6432Node\Classes\Interface would have to be combined with (overwrite)
    the standard location and then that be copied/imported to the x86 install.  Even then, there might be some unanticipated problems. 
    It's good that you had a registry backup available in system restore.  Although I like the inherent security and reliability in the Vista/Win7 system restore implementations, one thing that I miss was being able to pluck only the registry files from
    a restore point; like I used to do with WinXP.
    <<...Yes, my case is precisely (Windows Explorer always opens folders in a new window) on
    Win7. ....>>
    Also, that is too general.  There is more nitty-gritty details that have to be verified, such as whether the issue is per-user,
    or whether the "Explore" option is in bold and works properly when manually selected.  In a lot of cases, that simply may not be in bold which means it's no longer the default action on double-click.  (requires different set of steps to resolve,
    focusing on another part of the registry)  But from what you've stated on JAVA update 20, there well could be some changes to the HKLM portion of that Interface key... don't know.  A before and after registry compare usually helps pin down the issue.
    EDIT 10y04m24d_130735:
     One other thing that occurs to me, is that the dreaded Yahoo toolbar often installs with Sun Microsystems's JAVA.  I've removed such toolbars on many browsers because they render IE8 unstable/unreliable with occasional to routine freezes/crashes.

  • My new browser windows are opening window within a window.

    When I click on a link/button at a website that is coded to open in a new window, that window opens within another window There are two ribbons for minimizing/closing the window, and the back and forward buttons don't work. There are no tabs. When I click to open a new tab, that tab appears and the previous page forms a tab, but doesn't show a URL and when I drag it to the main window to combine tabs, it appears blank.
    I used to be able to drag new windows into my main browser so I could have just one browser running at a time. Since I installed Firefox 5, I haven't been able to do that. They no longer open up with a tab I can drag.
    Suggestions on how I can fix this?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • Closing all folders and subfolders within a window with one command

    In list view, is there a way to close all folders and subfolders within a window with one command, instead of having to close each individually?
    Thanks!

    Thanks, all, for your feedback, but no cigar, yet:
    - opening folders with "option" is possible but problematic
    - none of this solves the question of closing all the folders and subfolders within a window in one shot.
    Any better solution would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

  • Opening links in a RSS feed using the Open in New Tab/Window command doesn't work in FF4. It worked perfectly in FF 3.6. What seems to be the problem?

    I have set up a number of RSS feeds to open in folders underneath the search/address bar in Firefox. I use them mainly to follow news updates from newspaper websites etc. After installing FF4, the opening of links contained in those folders (lists of links) using right-click and selecting the Open in New Tab command stopped working. There is no response whatsoever - as if I didn't click the command.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Dual monitor - force new windows to always open on primary monitor?

    I use my secondary monitor to watch streaming TV in internet browser windows.  When I have finished watching streaming TV and the secondary monitor is switched off, Safari still opens new browser windows on the secondary monitor by default (presumably due to the fact that the last active browser window was open on the secondary monitor).  This is irritating and means I have to switch the secondary monitor back on to drag the new browser window back to the primary display.  The secondary monitor is connected by VGA.
    This is a minor niggle, rather than a major issue, but it is irritating nevertheless!  Does anyone know if there is a way to force new windows to always open on primary monitor, regardless of where the last active window was?
    Any help much appreciated.
    Many thanks,
    Ben

    After many days i found solution:
    Run the client and get it set up the way you prefer, or Open your saved RDP file
    On the Display tab, choose a non-fullscreen resolution.
    On the General tab, click "delete these credentials", if possible.
    Click Connect .
    You will immediately get a local login dialog. Leave it blank and click
    OK .
    When you are connected and the remote login dialog appears, drag the window to the desired monitor.
    On the remote login dialog, click Cancel . The settings dialog should reappear locally.
    On the Display tab, you can now choose fullscreen.
    You can now save your session with the Save button on the
    General tab, as well as save your login credentials.
    Try more times ,worked for me.
