Opening pages in new tabs is slow and switches to the new tab and back. How can I stop this?
I work with a lot of tabs and most of the time, I need pages in new tabs to open fast. Recently, whenever I open a page in a new tab, Firefox goes to the new tab for a second, then back to the tab I was on previously, although I have it set to not automatically go to new tabs. This is slowing me down and I'd really like it to stop. I've even tried just having one tab open.
How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer

Every single website url address, or url address within a website page is being added to my location bar/address bar drop down menu.
I don't want everything added or saved in the location bar. Only urls that I used a lot used to be saved there but now every single url (and url within a url)I visit is being added to it.
How can I stop this? This just started happening.
I'm sure it's a simple browser setting but I've checked and nothing gives an option to control this.
Firefox 3.0.17
Windows XP

To get straight to the point, whenever I open iTunes or close a pop-up from iTunes, it starts scanning through my collection of applications. This has slowly got on my patient nerve. It wasn't always this was. Before I transfered all my data from my Mac to Pc, it worked fine. So I am wondering what is it doing, and how can I stop this. Bare in mind I have alot of apps. Thanks in advance for the help!
Sincerely,
TarellanoYou can only use the German iTunes/App store if you are located in Germany. The German store is in the German language.

(1) So, I found a youtube video showing how to open up my iMac and replace a Disk drive. I opened it. I removed the disk drive. I opened the metal cover of the lid of the disk drive. It was clean and immaculate; so, it destroyed and debunked the dirty drive theory. But, just to make sure I sucked around the optical sensor with a vacuum and gently brushed it with a Q-tip.
(2) I then watched a you tube video showing how the drive operated (it was a drive supplied with power outside an iMac with a transparent cover unlike the opaque metal cover that we have on our drives). My scientific curiosity started to wonder if somehow the mechanical part (of the electro-mechanical assembly) was locked or jammed. So, I started messing with the arms with the utmost care after watching the video to see if i could move them manually. Yes on some. The main arm that is linked with the drive motor was immovable. The rest I played with a little bit, took great notice in the start of the video to see how the arms looked before inserting a disk. I then put it all back together.
It works now. My guess is that taking it out and then placing it back in along with the resetting options that others have done was the trick. I believe it is a possibility that the hard drive became locked mechanically in some strange manner after ejecting a DVD in conjunction with the uploading of the new OS. I believe the actual removal, reinstallation, and resetting of the drive put everything back into sync. My computer sits in a climate controlled dust free environment. I knew for a fact that this hard drive was OKAY. -
I installed Final Cut Epxress 4 on my laptop and my macbook and then accidentally also migrated FCE from the desktop to the macbook. Now each time I launch FCE on the macbook it asks for the software serial number. I enter the number which is then rejetced as it's already been used twice. FCE launches anyway as the licence info had already been written to my hard drive when I first installed FCE. How can I stop it asking for the serial nmber every time I open FCE?
You need to uninstall FCE from you Macbook and then reinstall it.
If you are not familiar with the process, FCS Remover is an app that can uninstall FCE for you. -
i can see firefox adding https to every single URL i try to go to, if it fails over it goes to none HTTPS. i do "not" have https every where installed, i do however have avast installed, if its a feature of avast i cant find it.
You set the Boolean pref <b>browser.urlbar.autoFill</b> to <i>false</i> on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable auto-fill on the location bar.

See "Prevent Firefox from automatically completing URLs":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/search-your-bookmarks-history-and-tabs-awesome-bar
You can set the <b>browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled</b> pref to <i>false</i> on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the highlighting of the domain and see the full URL more clearly.
You can set the <b>browser.urlbar.trimURLs</b> pref to <i>false</i> on the <b>about:config</b> page to see the http: protocol on the location bar and in the pop-up if you hover a link.

Is this a flash issue or can I force this game to run in the background somehow.
Does this also happen if you run that game in another window?
You can tear off a tab to a new window by slightly dragging the tab down in the browser area. -

I just want to know how to stop it from appearing everytime i open my browser.
Do as it says and then launch it from the Applications folder. If there's a Dock icon pointing to the instance of it on the mounted image, drag that to the desktop.

I'm getting redirected when I search and want to go to a site. How can i stop this?
I have done a system restore. Removed Mozilla and downloaded it again.
Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.<br />
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

Sometimes when I click on a website link, Firefox goes crazy with trying to open new tabs... it keeps going until I force quit. How can I stop this?
== This happened ==
A few times a week
== I clicked on a linkSee [[Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows]]
You can have infinite tabs opening if you have selected Firefox as the application to handle a file if you get an ''Open with'' download window.
Firefox should not be selected as the application to handle a file and you have to remove the action that is associated with that file type.
You can delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/mimeTypes.rdf mimeTypes.rdf] in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] to reset all actions or set that action in Tools > Options > Applications to 'Always Ask'.

When i open a new tab, it closes 3 seconds later automatically. how can I stop this?
When I open a new tab, I cannot view it, the tab closes automatically. I then reload the tab and it closes again after 3 seconds. How can I stop this? I never had this problem before.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== About two weeks ago, 2nd week in June 2010Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") -

When I want to return to my home page after looking at a website I click on the home icon and it resets the page to my home page but also open a blak tab which i don't want.How can I stop this as I have too many tabs open and have to close all of them.
You may have an unwanted extension that is modifying sites (or the toolbar area). Try this:
Disable ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Does that flush the tab?
Please report back on anything suspicious you find so others can learn about its bad behavior. -
