From the Finder menu bar top of your screen click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins

Using Firefox 5 in Windows 7, once I have Firefox open, I can no longer open a new window using the start button. How do I fix?

As I stated, I have Windows 7 on my laptop and have installed Firefox 5. I sometimes like to have multiple windows of the browser open. But, unlike any previous version of Firefox, now when I have the browser open, when I try to open a new window using the Start menu, it will not open one. I have to use Ctrl+N. Why did this change?
This may seem insignificant but it really hampers my work flow. For one, with other applications, Shift+N is what opens a new window. For two, I've been doing with with my browsers for years now and it's like second nature for me - having to remember that in Firefox it's Ctrl+N is a pain in my tuccus.
Firefox is my go to browser and I would like it to stay that way. Please find the solution for me! I have tried looking using Tools, Options, as well as looking at my start menu and taskbar options, and no dice.

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).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Firefox 5.0 won't open a new window if all windows are closed or minimized

Running Firefox 5.0 under Mac OS X 10.6.8. If I close all of the windows, or all windows are minimized, I can't open a new window. A new window is listed in the Windows menu with the name "Mozilla Firefox", but the window does not actually exist. The ghost window can't be selected from that menu and therefore also can't be closed

Well, the behavior I described is now intermittent. Sometimes I can open a new window and sometimes I can't. If I can't, command-Tab does nothing. So far I've found no consistent circumstances under which I can or can't open a new window.
Originally I was running computationally intensive program that required 3.35 days to complete its run. When the run was over the Firefox problem disappeared - for awhile. Then the problem recurred in the intermittent fashion I've described.

Force documents to open in new window for all users?

Is there a way to force all portal users to open their documents in a new window? I know individual users can do it through the my account page, but is there a way to set the default as "open in new window"?

Open this file:
\plumtree\settings\portal\portalconfix.xml
Find and change this setting:
The default setting for the open in new window preference.
0 = same window.
1 = new window.
Users can override this setting by changing their personal preferences.
<setting name="OpenNewWindow">
<value xsi:type="xsd:integer">0</value>
</setting>

Reader 9.3.1 does not open pdf in current browser; opens in new window

When clicking on a pdf link in a browser, is there a way to open the pdf in the current browser as oppose to the pdf file opening in a new window?
Browser: Microsoft IE
Operating System: Windows XP Professional
I read that this feature has been removed by Adobe (http://blogs.adobe.com/acrobat/2008/09/mdi_vs_sdi_in_acrobat.html). Is this still true?

Thank you for responding. Your question is where you've got me??? It has
always just opened. Where do I find a feature like that?

PDF's do not open in new window

I am attempting to open a series of PDF files as part of a
Captivate program using click boxes. Although I have selected "New"
in the pulldown menu, the files open in the same window in which
the SWF file is running. Consequently, if the user closes the file,
the entire program closes.
Any ideas?

Thanks for both replies!!
I'm using Captivate 3.
It is opening in the same window (using IE6). Previously, the
link was to a Word doc, but we wanted to use PDF's to improve user
download speed. I changed the click button hyperlink back to .doc,
and a new window opens for the user as expected.
I haven't yet mentioned that even using PDF's, everything
works fine in preview mode. It seems like there may be a publishing
issue.

When i open pdf files, they keep opening in new windows, i want it to open in a new tab, not a new widow.

when i open any pdf document in firefox it opens in a new window,
i want any open pdf documents to open in a new a tab, not a new window.

Workaround for PDF drill down not opening in new window

Has anyone found a way of getting a drill down PDF which doesn't
replace the original report in the window?
TIA
Paul Williams

Four years later...
Is there a way to do this yet?
So far I have had to create the report as DESTYPE=HTML in order to give the user a 'drilldown' with the option of using the back button on the browser and also 'Open in a new window'. When using PDF the 'back' button does not work and 'Open in a new Window' does not seem to be an option.

Links in Mail (Mac) no longer open a new window in Firefox.

When I click on a link in a Mail (Version 4.4 (1082)) message, it simply defaults to the existing open tab in Firefox, rather than opening a new tab and the page indicated by the link. This just started today and I don't know of anything I changed, other than upgrading to Snow Leopard (Version 10.6.6) a few weeks ago. I searched preferences in Mail and Firefox but did not see options.

Hi Barbara,
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
Also, Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.

How can you get CMD + L to open a new window, when all windows are closed?

In Firefox 28 and earlier, you could hit Apple + L (CMD + L) when no FF windows were open, and it would pull up a blank page with the cursor blinking in the address bar.
After installing FF 29, when you hit CMD + L (with no windows open) it just plays the system alert sound and does nothing.
I want to be able to hit CMD + TAB to gain control of an idle Firefox, and then be able to hit CMD + L to gain control of a BLANK address bar.
Every other version of Firefox I've ever used did this, so am I missing something here? Any ideas?
Note: I realize that you can hit CMD + N to launch a new window and then CMD + L to select the text within the address bar. I'm not looking to re-train my habits within Firefox, but simply want that feature like it was in the previous 28 versions.

Well, after an entire week without a word from Mozilla, I officially give up.
I understand that new software will have bugs when it is released. I understand that the bugs are fixed in the order of greatest impact/priority. I also understand that my issue is not a bug, rather a feature that was inexplicably removed.
A couple of things I cannot understand —
Why would Mozilla remove '''ANY''' features from their software when they are touting this as the most customizable web browser ever? That is obviously not logical and will be to their detriment in the long run.
Furthermore, if a person did get on here just to complain about this update, they were immediately met with a canned response from a moderator, which offered a few options to make Firefox '''LOOK''' like the previous version. That speaks volumes about this update and the developers' confidence in it. The person who gets on here with a legitimate problem asking why a feature was removed — they get '''NO''' response from a moderator. Again, this speaks volumes. I am not even asking for an immediate solution to this problem, just the acknowledgement that there is a problem. On top of that, especially in the development of software, the old adage particularly rings its truest — ''If it ain't broke, don't fix it.''
Lastly, I think we can all agree that Firefox 29 is a blatant ripoff of Google Chrome. If I wanted Google Chrome, that is exactly what I would have downloaded. That pains me not only as a devout Firefox user for nearly 10 years, but especially as I have donated over $200 to the Mozilla Foundation in that time. In other words, I have financially supported the development of a software that has become absolutely indifferent to its users' needs, and moreover, they have now resorted to copying off of their neighbor.
I have since rolled back versions — all the way to Netscape Navigator 9 — which seems to have just about as much functionality as the bungled mess that is Firefox 29.
I genuinely appreciate all of the time and effort that goes in to creating open-source software, and I financially support the projects that I feel adhere to the open-source philosophy. That said, Mozilla.org seems to be straying away from this philosophy, to the point where, for me, it is simply time for a change.
Thanks for the memories, Firefox!

Open PDF in same browser when the preference is set to open in new window.

The corporate policy for all applications is to open the PDF document in new browser/reader but our application needs the reader to open in the same browser even the preference "Display PDF in Browser" is unchecked.... The setPreference from javascript (html) doesn't seemed to work... How do i make this work?
Also, I need the links the browser to open in new browser once the PDF is loaded... do I need to reset the preference once it is loaded for the links to open in new browser?
thanks,
- Ray

There is no way to override that from your application. And if the Links in the PDF have an explicit "open in new window" setting, that is respected over the preference.

Outlook 2010 on Exchange 2007 ~ Can no longer see Calendar in Folder List ~ Only viewable by right-clicking favorite icon and selecting 'Open in New Window'

Office 2010, Windows 7 64 bit, BB sync, everything has been fine since forever. All of a sudden between Saturday and today, *poof* I can't get the calendar view.
I have tried the switches, /resetfolder and all the rest, repair install Office, etc., no go.
I can log into my OWA view and calendar shows up there, but on the local system, when you clicl on Calendar, it shows My Calendars at the top, but there is no calendar. The only way to view it is to right click Calendar and choose 'Open in New Window'.
All my data is there, can add to it and all, but it is missing from the folder list, thereby making it very difficult to use.
I also created a new profile, connected to Exchange ONLY and it still will only show the calendar if you select 'Open in New Window Only'. I can post a screen shot if this allows.
Thanks in advance.
Brian

Hi ,
I suggest you refer to the following steps to recreate the Calendar folder.
1. Switch Outlook to Online mode.
2. Start MFCMAPI and create a backup of the Calendar items
a. Open the Calendar folder by double clicking it.
b. Select all items (simple ctrl+a).
c. Copy all items into an empty folder.
d. Additionally you can create a backup using a PST file if you wish.
3. Delete the Calendar folder using MFCMAPI.
4. Close Outlook.
5.Recreate Windows Profile and Outlook Profile.
6. Start Outlook with “/resetfolders” switch, this will recreate the default Calendar folder.
7. Try to set permissions on the Calendar folder to see how it works with a fresh and empty folder.
8. Copy/Move the items back into the Calendar.
By the way, I don’t understand “the local system” what you said, it can view My calendars at top in Outlook or OWA ?
And it can’t view calendar list or the calendar content under My Calendar?

Universal Worklist items open in new window instead of existing frame

After our recent upgrade we noticed that workitems in Universal Worklist open in new window instead of existing frame. Do you know if there is a system or universal setting to make all the workitems open in existing frame? I know we can change the settings for parameters launchInNewWindow and openInNewWindow to "no" in XML files to fix this.   However, my concern is that I would need to do this for each and every task we use. (still doable but wondering if there is simpler solution)
Example:
    <ItemType name="uwl.task.webflow.TS12300097.SAP_R3_CUSTOM_DEV" connector="WebFlowConnector" defaultView="DefaultView" defaultAction="launchWebDynPro" executionMode="default">
      <ItemTypeCriteria systemId="SAP_R3_CUSTOM_DEV" externalType="TS12300097" connector="WebFlowConnector"/>
      <Actions>
        <Action name="launchWebDynPro" groupAction="" handler="SAPWebDynproLauncher" returnToDetailViewAllowed="yes" launchInNewWindow="yes" launchNewWindowFeatures="resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no">
          <Properties>
            <Property name="WebDynproApplication" value="LeaveRequestApprover"/>
            <Property name="WebDynproDeployableObject" value="sap.com/ess~lea"/>
            <Property name="newWindowFeatures" value="resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no"/>
            <Property name="openInNewWindow" value="yes"/>
            <Property name="display_order_priority" value="5"/>
          </Properties>
          <Descriptions default=""/>
        </Action>
      </Actions>
    </ItemType>

We downloaded uwl.standard.xml from UWL admin. Made a copy and renamed file. Changed all "launchInNewWindow" from "yes" to "no". Uploaded new file in UWL admin. Re-registered systems, cleared cache. Not sure what exact line changed the behavior but the workitems no longer open in new window.
We are still experimenting with file in our sandbox environment.

Word hyperlinks converted to PDF-open in new window???

I currently use Word 2007 to build indexes with hyperlinks and convert to PDF using Adobe Professional 9. I know how to set my Adobe preferences so that hyperlinks open in a new window, but I want to set this on the document level for each index I create. I also know how to set each link within the final pdf to open in a new window (if I go through each and every link preference). I must create the hyperlinks in Word as there are many instances that my indexes change prior to distribution of the discs and I don't like having to duplicate, triplicate, etc. my linking process in Adobe as some of my indexes contain 300+ links. I only know of JavaScript but not enough to use with confidence... I want the hyperlinks to open in new windows (as that has always been my instructions to the end user) without the end user having to fumble around with their systems and settings. It has just been brought to my attention that my discs do not have that function set. Meaning, that what I view and test on my system is not the same as the end user. The hyperlinks open in the same window (dang it!!). I did see a JavaScript solution but keep getting an error (on line 2). Here is the JavaScript I found in the forum: app.openInPlace = false; //Opens cross-document links in separate windows.
So, I have muliple questions...
Is this sript the best way to accomplish the document level open in a new window function?
Is this script written correctly? (I did cut and paste this script within the brackets)
If I use the JavaScript and save, does that save in the Adobe application system or just on the document level? And then how do I delete if it doesn't work properly?
What other functions can you suggest I try?
Any suggestions would be helpful!

Where did you place that script, exactly?
It should work, there's probably just an error in how you added the text of the script. Try removing the comment so that there's only one line of code:
app.openInPlace = true;
Note that this changes the user preference, which is generally frowned upon, so you should endeavor to set it back to what it was in the first place when the document is closed. This would involve storing the value of this property when the document opens, change it if necessary, and restore it when the document closes. It also won't work for those users who have JavaScript disabled.
Unfortunately, link annotations are difficult to alter in an automated way given what's available in Acrobat. It would be possible with an Acrobat plug-in to make document-wide changes to all of the links, but I'm not aware of any that do this. You might want to search around.

I have an iMac, version 10.8.5 and can no longer open a new private window.

I am using Firefox 25.0.1 and my OS is up to date.
A few days ago, I could no longer open a new private window.
When I click on that tab, I get a new open window.
When you reply, please keep in mind that I am not computer literate and would appreciate a non-technical answer.
Thanks.

Make sure your not using private browsing mode by default
check whether private browser is opening or not
