Right click on a link and selecting "open in new window" does not work. How do I gewt this feature to work? PS Right click on a link and selecting open in new tab does.

No matter where the link is - in an e-mail or on a web page - the "Open in new window" feature does not work. Very annoying. Also I close Firefox in a session, but then cannot re-open it. When I shut my PC down I get a prompt to End Task -[ Firefox ] and a window opens asking if I want to save tabs and quit; quit; or cancel. After closing Firefox it does not show as an application running in Task Manager
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I recently re-installed Firefox.

Start 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.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

  • I can no longer open a 2nd window in firefox. How do I get this feature back?

    When I right click a link & ask to open it in a 2nd window, it doesn't work. I can open a new tab. But I can't drag the tab & create a 2nd window that way either. I also click on the firefox icon & ask for a 2nd window but that doesn't work.

    Hello coolou7, '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    thank you

    In your Mac, import the saved file as you posted.

  • When I open Numbers it displays every spreadsheet I've ever worked on. I have 100 windows displaying spreadsheets. What am I doing wrong? How to I turn this feature off?

    When I open Numbers it displays every spreadsheet I have evr worked on! The screen fills with 100 windows showing different spreadsheets. How do I turn this feature off?

    As Jerry said, if you close all documents before quitting Numbers or Pages, you won't have them reopening when you launch the app again. If you don't want to have to close everything first try Lion Tweaks or the latest version of TinkerTool. Both have the option to turn off the resume feature for individual applications.

  • My daughter has an ipod touch, which I connected with my email account.  Now I have an iphone and we would like to separate the accounts.  How do I do this without her losing everything that's she's downloaded and purchased?

    My daughter's ipod touch and my iphone are are the same account.  How do I set up adifferent account for her without losing everything she has purchased and downloaded?

    To keep from losing purchases you will both need to continue sharing the Apple ID for purchases.
    I would reccommend you both create new Apple IDs for iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime and keep the current one to share purchases in the iTunes & App Stores.
    Use shared ID here:
    Settings > iTunes & App Stores
    Use individual IDs here:
    Settings > iCloud
    Settings > Messages
    Settings > FaceTime
    Settings > Game Center

  • HT1338 Macbook Bluetooth paired but does not connect, how do i fix this?

    Hello,
    I have a Rocketfish Bluetooth device that I use to stream music wirelessly from my Macbook to my stereo.  The macbook and bluetooth pair then connect but once i activate the connection fails.  I've used other devices (ipad) to connect with the Rocketfish and it works so the bluetooth device is funtional so the issue must be on my macbooks end.  Any thoughts on how i can get this to work?
    Thanks,

    Hi there,
    Could you provide the community with a little more information to help narrow troubleshooting? Things like your printer model and your operating system help out a lot.

  • I want new tabs to open with my current homepage, not Bing - how do I change this?

    Whenever I open a new tab I always get the Bing search page. I would prefer all new tabs to open my homepage - how do I do that? Is this a default setting that can't be changed?

    You can middle-click or Ctrl left-click the Home button on the Navigation toolbar to open the Home page in a new tab.
    You can look at this extension:
    * NewTabURL : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl/

  • Firefox opens all adobe files with firefox web browser. I disabled add-on, but it still does it. How can i disable this feature?

    All adobe files now automatically open in firefox web browser, even when opening them from widows explorer. I want all adobe files to be opened in adobe reader as a default. Yet I disable the plugin Adobe Acrobat 11.0.9.29 and it still does this. I can't use firefox this way.

    When you open a PDF file that you saved to your computer, by double-clicking the file, does it open with Adobe Reader or with Firefox?
    If the PDF file opens with Adobe Reader then follow the instructions in [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]] to set Adobe Reader as the application for Portable Document Format (PDF) in your Firefox Options for Applications.
    If the PDF file opens in Firefox when you open it from your hard drive, even though you have Firefox 33 installed, try uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox:
    #Download the latest Firefox version (currently 33.1.1) from [https://www.mozilla.org mozilla.org] and save the setup file to your computer.
    #*Note: You can use [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/new/?scene=2#download-fx this link] for the online (stub) installer or choose the full installer for your operating system and language from [https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ this page].
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (or open the Firefox menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click the Exit button [[Image:Close 29]]).
    #[[Uninstall Firefox from your computer|Uninstall Firefox from your computer]].
    #Reinstall Firefox using the setup file you downloaded before.
    <b>WARNING:</b> Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data.

  • When I open a new window I get music, how do I stop this?

    On my MAC OS X desk top suddenly when I open an additional search window I get music. How do I get rid of this?
    Thank you :-)

    It's likely that one of your login items is causing the problem. Select the Login Items tab in the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences. Delete any items that you don't recognize. If you're not sure which ones to delete, double-click each to test it.

  • On bbc.co.uk website I am unable to set my local / postcode, although I used to be able to do this and can with other web browsers. Am unsure how to re set this so it works.

    I normally use Firefox as my preferred browser, and have bbc.co.uk as one of my home pages. I used to be able to set my location 'portsmouth' on that web page top receive local news. However, I can no longer do that (Ithink i cleared cache and browsing history recently) and since then it cannot set my location.
    Other web bro0wsers are working fine with this, but I wold rather use Firefox.
    What vsetting do I need to change?

    I am using MAC OSx 10.5.8 (9L31a) as my operation system.  The TV says "No signal.  Check connected device's power, cable connection and source selection."  Seems to me that that goes in hand with what the Samsung tech said about the Mac needing to be forces to use the external display.  But how do I do that?
