PDF links in my website clicked since recent update no longer open in a tab, rather as a PDF.

I often send links to clients and now I need to save the PDF and then send the PDF. I can't find how to change that to return to functionality before last update.

HI ehowe402,
The default setting for what Firefox does with pdfs is stored in the Applications settings. Try to reset these first: [[Applications panel - Set how Firefox handles different types of files]]

Middle-clicking the "go" button no longer opens a new tab.

When you pasted a link in the address bar and middle-clicked the "go" button, it used to open up a new tab to the new address. Now it only goes to the page in the current tab. Middle-clicking the refresh button (without a new link) still opens in a new tab, however.

Still works for me.
Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

Since recent updates, I have noticed that my apps close automatically when I am distracted. In some cases it is time consuming to sign back in and get back to the task I was doing. Is it possible to change a setting so the apps will stay open?

Since recent updates of iOS, I have noticed when using my iPad that my apps close automatically when I have to leave the room or am otherwise distracted for a few minutes. It is sometimes time consuming to sign back in and get back to the task where i left off. Is there a setting I can change so it will keep the apps open until I am ready to close them? Thanks for your help.

Did you have this problem before Restoring you iPad?
If you did then did you restore with a backup. You may have reinstalled something that is conflicting in this back up
If not then sounds like either something went array with the clean install or a hardware issue.
I know it's long winded but have you tired a clean install then downloading the apps again?

Can no longer open two Firefox tabs, have close using Task Bar/Processes. Some links won't activate on websites. As per support suggestion,have backed up profile, deleted existing profile, removed firefox and replaced thingsetc

Can no longer open two Firefox tabs at the same time. Will disappear from screen but won't close - have to go to Task Bar/ Processes to close it, some links won't activate on websites. As suggested in the support area I have gone through the process of backing up my profile, deleted existing profile, removed firefox from computer, reinstalled profile in fresh folder, reinstalled firefox 6. I have done this twice for no effect - may work as it used to for a while (30mins) then gets back to its old tricks.
It is a bit irritating.

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
* [http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro/ Hitman Pro]
* [http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ESET Online Scanner]
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.

When clicking on a link, it opens a new tab rather than just opening in the existing tab. How do I stop that?

For example, when I'm in Flickr and I'm looking at an album, I click on a picture and it opens a new tab for that picture. When I click on the arrow to see the next picture in the series, it proceeds to open yet another tab, and so on. It's not difficult to have tabs that span the width of my screen in no time at all.

This should help:
1. Go to: Tools > Options > Tabs
2. There is a section at the top that says 'Open links that open in a new window in:' and then a drop-down menu
3. In the drop-down menu, select the 'Current Tab' Option
4. Click 'OK'
'''If this was the answer you were looking for, please click 'Solved' -- Thanks.'''

All of a sudden I can no longer open a new tab using either the icon on the tab bar, the keyboard short cut or the File menu option. I can open a new tab ONLY by clicking on a bookmark or link.

We still couldn't get it to stop timing out. I tried to download the firmware from iClarified but iTunes said it didn't recognise the software.
Just what did yo do to gt iTunes to see the download:

Games keep crashing since recent updates

Hey there,
I've had no problems before with playing games (mostly via Steam), however, since recent OS X updates I'm lucky if I can get more than 2 minutes of game time in before the game decides to freeze or crash.

Clicking on a link no longer opens a new tab with Firefox 17.0.1 update of today

New tab on clicking link opened earlier today but not since Firefox updated itself to 17.0.1. When I click on a link, the page just jumps, but the new tab doesn't open. It will open if I right click the link, which I shouldn't have to do. How can I (or can I) unflub this bug? Thanks

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
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.

Cannot print a web page since recent update to Apple Snow Leopard

After recent update to Mac OS 10.6.4 I cannot print any page when using Firefox. I tried using Apple Safari and there was no problem
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== After recent update to Mac OS 10.6.4

This is a Firefox printing issue that I just fixed for my 85 year old Mom (birthday present). Other people have the same problem so I'm posting the solution:
Go to address bar in Firefox--
Type in this:
about:config'''
Click I AGREE on the warning
Find -- '''print.macosx.pagesetup-2'''
'''RIGHT CLICK on your mouse'''
and go to '''RESET'''

When i do a search in google and get multiple websites i want all of them to open in new tab when i click.

i want all websites to open in new tab. please help.

hi, this should be a preference that you can set at google.com/preferences - tick the option to open results in a new window (=tabs in firefox)...

Thank you so much! You are a life saver! Thank you! Thank you! So easy!
I spent so much time contacting Google and no success. They said they do not support Mozilla only Internet Explorer. Where did you get that link? Can I get there myself through settings?

Paid membership for Muse no longer works since recent update

I have a paid membership for Adobe Muse, but after a recent update Adobe only allows me access Muse through a 30-day free trial. I am occasionally requested to enter a serial number for Muse, but cannot find any reference to this in my past emails. How can I overcome this ongoing issue?

Hi,
Please try the steps below depending on the operating system,
Windows
Click on the "Start" menu. Select "All Programs" and then "Accessories"
Right-click on "Notepad" and select "Run as Administrator"
Click "Continue" on the "Windows needs your permission" dialog
When Notepad opens, click File and select Open
In the filename field type the following:C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts
If any entries in the host file include keywords such as "adobe," delete those entries. These are used for Adobe Licensing.
From the "File" menu select "Save" after making changes
Restart Muse
Macintosh
Click on the "Finder" icon. Select the "Applications" folder
Open the "Utilities" folder and select "Terminal"
Type the following:sudo nano /etc/hosts
Enter the OS user's associated password when prompted
If any entries in the host file include keywords such as "adobe," delete those entries. These are used for Adobe Licensing.
Press control+o to save the file
Press control+x to close the file
Restart Muse
Please let me know if it works.

Asset Generator broken since recent update to Photoshop CC

With this latest update to Photoshop CC, the asset generator no longer seems to support having masks on a folder - asset will NOT generate if this is the case. Seems the only work-around is to clip everything down to a shape layer, which is highly awkward. Is this a bug? Can it please be fixed? This used to work just fine and has only been broken since the most recent update.

My team is having the same issue. I'd love to hear about a fix to this.

Since Firefox updated, it wont open. Just flicks a black screen with some text on it. Wont connect to websites through skype or email either. Please help?

I have tried uninstalling FF but it won't let me do that either. I would be extremely grateful for some support please. I would be happy to just be able to link to a website via my email. I'm using google chrome in the meantime and just cut and paste links that way. Have a lovely day

Hi firefoxjules,
Have you looked at the [[Cannot connect after upgrading Firefox]] or [[Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can]] Knowledge Base articles? There is a lot of good troubleshooting information in there.
Hopefully this helps!

PDF links in my website clicked since recent update no longer open in a tab, rather as a PDF.
