New windows created by links do not start maximized
Currently using Firefox 37.0.1 on Windows 7 x64, but this issue has been present for a long time.
When clicking a link that opens a new window (ie a link using target="_blank") the new window does not open maximized. For example on the page http://www.protodave.com/tools/verifying-a-dkim-txt-record-and-key-length/ when you click the 'DKIM Key Checker' link it opens the target page in a new window. The window does not open maximized. I currently have Firefox customized with the Title Bar and Menu Bar showing and I do not have 'Open new windows in a new tab instead' checked.
There is a workaround for this issue and that is to disable the Title Bar in the customize menu. When the Title Bar is not enabled then new windows properly open maximized. The fact that Firefox produces the expected behavior when in the default no-title-bar state and produces undesired behavior in the title-bar-enabled state leads me to believe this is either a bug or (hopefully) an obscure about:config option that I have so far been unable to descry.
I prefer the Title Bar enabled and so I just live with the issue, but it is definitely aggravating. Please help.
Shift+Click should open a window that is the same size of the window that the link was clicked in.
However in Windows, if you move the window to the top right, it will automatically maximize (something to consider as a work around in the meantime)
This issue is being tracked in bug 1005098, however there is no ETA when this will be worked on. It is considered for 38, but not implemented.

How can i open a link in new window (shift + Mouse Click) while not switching to the new window
I want to open a new window (shift + Mouse Click) while not switching to the newly opened window. The focus should remain on the window from where i have opened the link.
You can do that with tabs, but not with windows AFAIK.

It is Ideal to install Creative Cloud app , if you are using Adobe apps.
Creative Cloud is nothing but an updated version of Adobe Application manager. Adobe Application Manager is required for different purposes like Activation, Update.process and installation processes.etc
Adobe application manager must be up to date , that brings to Creative Cloud application which is the updated version .
No need to Sign in and all , just keep it install, if you are not okay with installing Creative Cloud app. it's okay , you can still have Adobe Application Manager only. -
Firefox has stopped working altogether (Windows 7). It will NOT start. The spinning start up graphic will spin for a moment, and quit. I have uninstalled everything that I could find to uninstall, and then re-installed, but to no avail. I have followed the currently posted suggestions with out success. Any other suggestions?
'''[http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ Download Firefox Full Installer For All languages And Systems]''' {web link}
Save the file. Then;
Using your file browser, open the Programs folder on your computer.
'''Windows:''' C:\Program Files
C:\Program Files (x86)
'''Mac:''' Open the "Applications" folder.
'''Linux:''' Check your user manual.
Look for, and rename any Mozilla and Firefox folders by adding '''.old''' to them.
Now run the full installer. -
I just upgraded to relaese to release 11. My PC runs Windows 7. itunes will not start. I have run Norton to fix the registry errors and have rerated my PC twice. No luck. Can anyone provided a suggested solution?
This solved everything, after uninstalling IObit Advanced SystemCare iTunes would open with Bonjour enabled however iTunes wouldn't pick up the iPhone device. I did some more digging and a few of their other applications had been installed including Game Booster. Uninstalling that put everything back to normal.
I have been given a new device by Apple who were really helpful and the guys have neever seen the docking connector disabling before. Coinsidence?
Anyway in case this helps other people these were the symptoms (might help with searches):
- Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
- iTunes 10 wouldn't open originally, just egg timer then nothing yet processes all started
- Docking connector died on the device, wouldn't even trigger a standard USB connection or light up the device
- Uninstalling iTunes etc didn't change anything
- Disabling Bonjour worked but iTunes extremely unstable, seems frozen when syncing and the sync itself, especially with app transfer, was extremely slow and the other buttons were unresponsive after clicking for two minutes before screen would change
Have sent feedback to IObit about this to see if there isn't something that can be done.
Fantastic assistance and an incredible spot from b noir. If you come to the UK you need to drop me an email as I owe you a night out on the town!

Hello,
I'm using version 3.6.13
I'm on a Windows 7 platform
In Thunderbird or any other software that provides a hyperlink, clicking on the link will not activate Firefox if it's not running, or it won't open a new window if it is running.
I have disabled all addons, restarted, and it still doesn't work.
I have not installed any new devices, such as printers, for at least a year or more.
I use Avast for protection since I bought this PC
I do have Spybot resident.
I would provide a list of all my installed software, but I don't know how to get the list.
Thank you,
RobertI'm using FF 4.1 and TB 3.1.10 and am having the same problem.

When I open a web page link in "a new window" the link opens, but the web page information does not appear in the location bar. It is blank. If I open the link in a new tab, there is ho problem.
Further, if a open a link from the tab without a location in a new tab on the same window and then go back to the original tab, the location bar fills with the web address.
Have done this starting in several locations, so it not location dependent.That behaviour is likely top be caused by an add-on, and in your case the likely culprit is IE Tab 2, the various versions of IE Tab have caused problems with Firefox 4 beta including issues with the location bar not being updated.
You can test to see if IE Tab 2 is causing your problem by disabling it and then seeing if the location bar in a new window shows the address. If it is not that add-on causing the problem, see [[troubleshooting extensions and themes]].
For info, the IE Tab Plus add-on has been updated recently to improve compatibility with Firefox 4 beta, you may want to try that one instead. The latest version is available from http://coralietab.mozdev.org/installation.html -
Open Link in New Window creates an invisible window (visible after restarting).
When I use the right mouse button menu to Open Link in New Window from a web page it creates an invisible window. That is, I cannot see the window but it is listed in the Firefox Window menu. This newly opened window cannot be selected either by mouse or from the Window menu. However, if I quit and restart Firefox the new window appears as 0 pixels wide (i.e., a 1 pixel wide vertical line) and I can select it (by mouse or Window menu) and zoom it from the Window menu. After zooming I can operate on the window normally.
Get Firebug and inspect the element. You'll see that it actually is this:
onclick="javascript:saw.runThis
URL('saw.dll?PortalProperties&_scid=To2OnvCVXpY&PortalPath=/shared/paint/_portal/PoC\x2520FINS&Done=ManagePortals\x2526Done\x253dAdmin');return false" href="javascript:void(null)" FF doesn't even give you the "Open..." options and all IE versions as of 7 show them but actually don't do anything when you invoke them.

Ever since firefox automatically updated itself, I am not able to open websites in new windows - meaning that if I am on a website and you click a link on it that opens in a new window, that new window is blank. It used to work perfectly. I even checked my foxit reader and that it working well
Hello Angelika.
I should bring your attention to the fact that your user agent says you're using Firefox 3.6, not 3.0. I will remind you that Firefox 3.0 has been discontinued and is no longer supported. Furthermore, it has known bugs and security problems.
As for your problem, you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author. -
So I know this command is supposed to create that document in a new window and have it float ontop of the original document. It (the new window for the document) is supposed to stay in front of anything on the application frame, like the UI does. But on my mac it keeps going into the background when I click onto a different document. I don't know why it does that. This command works fine on my PC.

I have used the reset preferences option. I had to recreate all items I previously had in the toolbars. And had to "Add a New toolbar" and add the items i had in that, also.
I also used the fix for a corrupt local.rdf file. No joy. At first I did not know why I was losing my custom toolbar. But I started paying extra attention and found out how to recreate the problem. I f a link opened a new window it opened without the custom toolbar. If I closed that window before closing the original window the custom settings where maintained.
If I opened a new window or selected a opened tab to open or duplicate in a new window the custom toolbar was gone. Again, if I closed the "new" window b4 I closed the original window all was good. But if I close the original window and the the new window the next time I open firefox the custom toolbar is gone. Righting clicking on a clear spot of a toolbar to open the "Customize Toolbar" dialog the name of my custom created toolbar is missing also.
Firefox info from the "About" section says Firefox 18 Funnelcake Oct 2012 mozilla17-1.0
I have never had this problem with FF before. I did not post asking for help until I could recreate the problem so that I could tell you when it happened.I did find the problem... It was the DivX Plugin for Firefox. I just found I wasn't using it. I went to Add/Remove Programs and uninstalled it. FYI I am running Windows 7.

Windows 8.1 desktop PC not starting after hibernation
Hi,
I have a PC that is not starting after hibernation. There are different errors appearing after my tries to repair the boot. I have tried to find a document online describing the boot process but I can't find any. I know how it worked in the old days with boot.ini
and such but this new one is hard to figure out without a desciption.
First I tried to use the automatic repair process but that didn't work. I have also tried bootrec, bootedit, and bcdboot.
I then bought the Easy Recovery Essentials from NeoSmart Technologies but that didn't help to fix the issue, PC still boots to error 1. below. I tried the following process that they suggested:
I have followed the instructions on this link http://j.mp/BcdRepair that they suggested but it didn't help. Instead of the two errors I have come across (PROCESS1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED and error code 0xc000000f on file \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD via F8, both with
white text on blue background), I got to a black page with grayish text telling me the following:
Windows Boot Manager
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
1. Insert your Windows installation disc [...]
2. Choose your language [...]
3. Click "Repair your computer."
File: \Windows\system32\winload.exe
Status: 0xc000000f
Info: The application or operating system couldn't be loaded because a required file is missing or contains errors.
It looks like one boot entry gets added to the boot menu every time the PC runs the automatic repair process. In the boot menu I now have more than ten occurrences of Windows Boot Manager.
Errors:
1. Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart [...] you can search online later for this error: PROCESS1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED
2. Manual boot to one of the Windows Boot Manager entries that appears via F8 gives me the error code 0xc000000f on file \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD.
I even tried to copy the BCD from an exactly identical PC but then the path to the BCD disappeared and I'm not sure what drive letter to enter in bcdedit because C: is not C: but X: when booted into Advanced resque mode.
I could just reinstall Windows 8.1 but it feels frustrating, all the files are there. I just need to fix the boot.
Sorry if this post is a bit of messed up, that's about how I feel right now... :)
Does anyone have any suggestions and/or can point me in the direction of a nice document describing how the boot process works, where the BCD is located (I have several on the PC) I would be very happy.
Many thanks in advance.Hi,
According to your description, in my opinion, it seems like not bcd file problem. It's PC itself problem, maybe a hardware problem, also can be system componments corrupt.
Can this PC startup successfully if you choose reboot or shutdown PC? Or this problem just occures after resume system from hibernate?
For Windows boot process knowledge, you can refer to the contents of the link below for more details:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/11341.the-windows-7-boot-process-sbsl.aspx
For your problem, in my opinion, it would be better to use System installation to fix this system file for test.

Can't write anything with javascript in a new window create dynamically with "window.open"
I develop a website and an application in html/css/javascript and i have a problem.
I need to open a new window with "window.open", and then change and modify the content dynamically with javascript in it. It works perfectly in Firefox 3.6 and lower but not in Firefox 4.
In Firefox 4, the window is created, but it stay white with "about blank" as name.
Do you have an idea of what I can do? Can I detect if the browser is Firefox 4, and if it is true, instead of "window.open", create a new tab? Can I change the content dynamically in it, and how?
Thanks for your help

How do I click a link on a web page, and not have to maximize the window every time? Firefox 29 seemed to add this additional click annoyance and I can't see how to change that. I do not want full screen mode which is what Firefox calls it when it removes an additional row of menu items. I mean maximizing the window so I don't have to do it each time! Please tell me how to change the settings and restore this normal feature.
Go to
About:Config
Change
browser.link.open_newwindow
value from 2 to 1
Works for me now. Every new window is max size
