Recently viewed sited not showing when opening a new window; tried to rest browser.newtab.url and browser.newtabpage.enabled ; rest is greyed out

how to display top or suggested sites as tiles? I cannot perform this task. Please assist.

I don't get it. Maybe you have a hidden extension? Those are disabled in Firefox's Safe Mode. That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?
In case your Firefox program files got damaged by the latest update, you could try the following type of reinstall that does not touch your settings files. Important: do NOT uninstall Firefox first. That is not needed.
'''Clean Reinstall'''
(1) Download a fresh installer for Firefox 36.0.1 from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ to a convenient location. (Scroll down to your preferred language.)
(2) Exit out of Firefox.
(3) Rename the program folder
''(64-bit Windows folder names)''
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
to
C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
''(32-bit Windows folder names)''
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
to
C:\Program Files\OldFirefox
(4) Run the installer you downloaded in #1. It should automatically connect to your existing settings.
Any improvement?
Note: Some plugins may exist only in that OldFirefox folder. If something essential is missing, look in these folders:
* \OldFirefox\Plugins
* \OldFirefox\browser\plugins

Firefox crashes, typically (but not exclusively) when opening a new window.

Firefox has been crashing every couple of hours for the past month or so. It seems to happen the most when I open a new tab, but I think it has crashed other times too. I have also seen it get up to 1,000,000+K in my memory (running at 432,000K right now).
Hardware acceleration has been off and that hasn't helped.

Wyoung221: I've looked over your crash reports and two things are consistent.
1) Your crash report signatures are consistent with one signature (gfxContext::PushClipsToDT(mozilla::gfx::DrawTarget) which refers to graphics. (1)
There's one signature (mozilla::WebGLTexture::DoDeferredImageInitialization(unsigned int, int) that has a new bug filed on it but it's stalled.
2) Your System Memory Use Percentage hovers around 70-80% so this could be out of memory crashes as well. (2)
1. Firefox has hardware acceleration set to "on" by default, but it's still young, which means some video cards or drivers might have problems with it. You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox (you need to close and restart Firefox).
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
2. In addition to the hardware acceleration, the System Memory Use Percentage in the crash reports is rather high, so this might be out-of-memory crashes

Cantact info not showing unless opened in new window

I messed up my contacts and am trying to get them back to the way they were.
When my contacts is open, the contact information only shows the name of the person on their card unless I open the card in a seaparate window. Any ideas how to have it show the information on the right page of the cantacts "book?" Thanks.

You should not do it there. Use the windows parameter for you Resource config and set "target=_blank"....I am not on my server right now but search these forums and there are some older posts about it.....or wait a little while for someone wanting easy points who will cut-and-paste it here for you pretty soon. =)

Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 12.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Safari has recently been displaying adverts everytime i open a new window

Everytime i open a new window in Safari ads are popping up and new windows open automatically. How do i remove this. This those not happen when i use a different browser.

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for a file with a name of the form
          com.something.daemon.plist
Here something is a variable word, which can be different in each case. It could be "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," "trusteddownloads," or pretty much anything else.
There may also be a file named
           com.something.helper.plist
in the same folder.
Leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
/Library/LaunchAgents
In this folder, there may be a file named
          com.something.agent.plist
where the word something is exactly the same as before.
If you feel confident that you've identified these three files, back up all data, then drag the three files you found to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the windows and restart the computer.
Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
Open this folder:
/Library/Application Support
If it has a subfolder named just
           something
(where something is the same word as before), drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
Finally, in this folder:
/System/Library/Frameworks
there may an item named exactly
            v.framework
It's actually another folder, though it has a different icon. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
          Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
          Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

Firefox is already running, but not responding to open a new window

I closed the only opened Firefox process that was running. Then clicked the Fox to start Firefox again. I received a message: Firefox is already running, but not responding, to open a new window. You must close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system. This is a stupid message since there is no Firefox in process.

Not sure how often

Hello Lara.
Hopefully this support article is what you need:

FF Less stable than IE. Numerous crashes, the latest quirk is that it will open a new window with a website already working on and NONE of the iterations of FF work. Have to reboot computer because can't even exit FF. Fix it or on to Chrome.

FF Less stable than IE. Numerous crashes, the latest quirk is that it will open a new window with a website already working on and NONE of the iterations of FF work. Have to reboot computer because can't even exit FF. Fix it or on to Chrome.

'''''"a new FF iteration"'''''
No such thing. All Firefox windows and tabs run in a single '''firefox.exe''' process, unlike IE which has a separate process for each window, or Chrome which opens a new process for each tab.
As far as the Firefox SafeMode, you can't open it when Firefox is running ''(unless you open a separate Profile purposely)'', if you try all you will get is another window in the "regular mode".
You're not going to be able to discover the cause of your problem if you're unwilling to follow established troubleshooting procedures, regardless of how intermittent the fault occurs. I wouldn't be surprised of you have an add-on installed which is causing that problem.
Another course of action would be to create a new Profile, which is like starting from scratch with a completely new Firefox installation.

When opening a new window stopping the I bar from automatically showing up in the address bar instead of the search bar

I want the I bar to start in the search bar when opening a new page NOT the address bar.
Thank You.

TypeError:undefined is not an object message when opening a new window in Bridge

Every time I open a new window in Adobe Bridge CS6, I get a long error message that says
"TypeError: undefined is not an object: onResize()buildUIStack(true,"Cabinet")buildUIStack([TabbedPalette:[objectTabbedPalette]], true,"Cabinet")switchTo([TabbedPalette:[objectTabbedPalette]],[Group:[object Group]],true)AmgDesignWindow([TabbedPalette:[objectTabbedPalette]],[Group:[object Group]],true)populate([Group:[object Group]],true)"
I'm running OS 10.8.5. I've tried uninstalling and then re-installing CS6 but I still get this error message. Once I click OK, a new window will open. I just want to know how to stop this message from popping up every time I click "new window".
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

It could also be a bug in OS. Did it work before? If so reset preferences. Hold down Option key and start bridge. You should get a reset window.

Previous window opens when opening a new window

When I have a number of windows open, and am looking at, say the third window and wish to open a new window, the last window in the sequence opens just before the new window.
Although the new window will be on screen, as soon as I close the new window, instead of going back to my last viewed window, it goes to the last window in the bar.......it is very annoying and would like to get rid of this problem.

I have windows 7 on dell laptop. I am working on a Word Document and want to go to a diff window for some information. I click on the FF icon on my desktop and get a message that says...FF is already running but is not responding.

See https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+is+already+running+but+is+not+responding

When opening a new window, it automatically loads last pop-up (?) content and I am unable to type in address bar or open a new tab in the new window.

I don't know if they're technically pop-up windows (for example, if you do a search on kayak.com, it will automatically open a new priceline.com window with the results of the search), but this happens with pop-up blocker on or off. Other examples are a small info window from a financial or .edu site that opens up saying a session is about to expire, or answering an FAQ (with the exception of the priceline example, these windows don't have an address bar or display a URL). Anyway, after these windows are closed, if I try to open a new window, it will automatically load the content of that "pop-up". Whenever it does this, I am unable to type in the address bar or open a new tab in that window.
How do I fix this? All I want is to open a new window that's blank, not load prior content.

It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is
there for. Also, check the programs that are on your computer
'''Windows > Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.'''
'''(Mac: Open the "Applications" folder)'''
Go thru the list and use a web search to check any that you don't
know what they are.
'''''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-caused-malware Troubleshoot Firefox Issues Caused By Malware]''''' {web link}

When opening a new window, it just stays blank. For instance when I try to play a card game in yahoo games.

When I go to open a new window by the result of trying to open something on a page, the new window stays blank. There is no error message or anything, it just stays blank.

Error message when opening a new window.

Whenever I open a new window beside the initial one (by link or otherwise), I get this message:
Exception in LoadPrefs: TypeError: gBrowser.browsers[i] is undefined
The page appear, but it seems to have the default display (without my preferences or my bookmarks) and the content often isn't loaded.
P.S. I can't send my Troubleshooting Information because it's
31 355 characters long (instead of 30 000). Is there a way to send it?
Thanks in advance

Save As Dialog Not Showing when opening pdf from Outlook 2010

Hi
I have recently had to change the default documents folder on a windows 7 machine (Right Click Documents, properties, include folder, set save location). Since this change, when opening an attached pdf document in outlook 2010 and viewing with adobe reader, if i click Save as from the file menu, no os dialog appears and therefore user cannot choose a place to save the document.
As a work around the user can right click the attachment save the docment to a location, once opened, ther save as dialog is usable.
I have uninstalled and re-installed reader to the laterst version, but with no luck.
Any ideas?
Jason Congerton

This looks like a new behavior of Outlook 2010 and isn't specific to PDFs. You will need to "save as" the document. There is a thread at Microsoft forums about this with some possible workarounds:
