Right click to add new folder to desktop, not there

I want to add new folders to desktop
(I use to be able to right click & new folder was an option to add to desktop)

hello sammyg11, you're posting in a support forum for the firefox browser by mozilla. the question you've asked isn't really related to firefox but is a question about windows - in this case please refer to external help ressources: www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/28677-new-context-menu-remove-restore-default-menu-items.html

  • When downloading a file, if I right-click and select new the submenu is not displayed

    I have Firefox 12 installed; running XP SP3. Options/General/Always ask me where to save files is selected. If I download a file and select save file, I will get a save file to dialog. If I right-click in the dialog and select new, there is no submenu displayed. As a consequence, I cannot create a new folder in which to save the selected file. New will simply try to create a shortcut.

    That Save As dialog that you see is part of Windows Explorer, including the contextual menu including "New". So, this sounds more like you may have a problem at a more fundamental operating system level, because Firefox (as far as I know) doesn't do anything, or even can, modify the content of the context menus of an Explorer window.
    Could you provide a screenshot of what you see to make sure we're talking about the same thing here? Thanks!

  • Making a new folder on desktop

    When I try to make a new folder on the desktop, the new folder zooms to a different place than where I wanted to create it. Why would it do this?
    I just want to right click, and choose new folder, and i want that new folder to appear near the area where I originally right clicked. More than 50% of the time, the folder moves over to the far right of the screen. I don't understand why it would do this. How do I fix this?

    I am not quit understand what you mean, but I am guessing that when you created a new folder, the folder automatically goes to right side of the screen.
    In that case, did you happen to sort your desktop by name, kind, or etc. If so, you can cancel it by right click the mouse and select "sort by" and click "none"

  • Can't add a new folder to desktop when right clicking. Add a New Folder is missing.

    I would like to add a new folder to desktop so as to organize my desktop screen. When I right click to drop down menu "New" the Add a new folder option isn't there anymore.

    Try a Windows 7 support forum for help with that - not a Firefox support issue.

  • Cannot create a new folder on desktop.

    Hello. When I am trying to create a new folder on desktop (right click->new->new folder) it gives me error message (i dont have english version of windows 8.1 so I had to translate it):
    Item wasnt found.
    Item is no longer placed in <%3 NULL:OpText>. Check the location of item and try again the action.
    Can somebody help me?

    Hi,
    As Ed mentioned before, are you able to create folder in other places?
    It is usually caused by incorrect delection of some registry entries, maybe accidently by yourself or by some registry cleaner\anti-virus software\bad-coded programs you installed recently.
    So quick fix is that you can restore the PC to a previous state with restore point if you have. (please note that you will lose some recent settings)
    You can also run sfc/scannow to check and fix if there're some missing system files.
    Or try the registry fix mentioned in the following link (Please first backup your registry, any incorrect changes on registry will cause serious damage)

  • Cannot find a way to edit bookmarks or add new folder as there is not a category edit bookmarks when I pull down the bookmark menu

    Updated to firefox 4.0 and can't find either the edit bookmarks or add new folder.

    I forgot that you are using a Mac. Please read this article:
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/how-do-i-use-bookmarks#w_working-with-your-bookmarks-in-the-library-window
    Right click on "Bookmark Menu" and you should see a "New Folder" option.

  • When I link to an external site, the link does not work, if I right click "Open in new tab" the link works.

    When I link to an external site, the link does not work, if I right click "Open in new tab" the link works.

    I have not changed any of my preferences and they look like they are as I would have left them.
    I tried resetting Firefox and deleting the preference file, no change.
    By the way, I hate that the tabs are on top and not where they belong above the pages they are for. There should still be a way in Firefox to put them back without having to use an add-in.

  • Why has right click to open new tab become disabled?

    SINCE UPDATING FIREFOX:
    RIGHT-CLICKING TO OPEN NEW TABS DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE. HOW DO I REVERSE THIS???
    AND
    FIREFOX CRASHES VERY OFTEN NOW. HOW DO I STOP OR AT LEAST MINIMIZE FREQUENCY OF CRASHES???

    Regarding the right-click context menu, which is the best description of the problem:
    # Can no longer right-click links
    # Open in New Tab is missing or grayed on the context menu
    # Open in New Tab does nothing when selected
    # Open in New Tab opens in the same tab when selected
    Does the site make any difference or do you have this problem on all sites?
    Sorry to hear about the crashes. When Firefox crashes, it usually records information about what was happening at that moment. You often will see the Mozilla Crash Reporter dialog come up. You can submit that data to Mozilla and share it with forum volunteers to see whether it points to the solution. Please check the last section of the support article "[[Firefox Crashes]]" for steps to get those crash report IDs, and then post some of the recent ones here.
    If that's not possible, could you test 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]].
    ''If Firefox is not running:'' Hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox.
    ''If Firefox is running:'' 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
    and OK the restart.
    ''Both scenarios:'' A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Refresh).
    Any less crashy?

  • Firefox immediately switching to new tab even when that feature is disabled on right-click open in new tab or on ctrl+click a link. Please help.

    Firefox switches immediately to new tab or the immediate next tab if multiple tabs are open, even when the respective feature is disabled, whenever I open a link by -
    1. Right-click > open in new tab
    2. Ctrl + click a link
    Earlier it did not happen like this. It is really very annoying. Re-installation and clean installation of the latest version did not helped.
    And this is happening mainly when I am using Facebook. Earlier it never happened so with Facebook.

    I don't have the divX plug-in and I still have this problem. Why should plug-ins that are not even triggered by the affected pages alter Firefox's behavior. Feels like bad architecture.

  • PerformancePoint Designer is not loading when clicking on "Add new item" from PerformancePoint Content List

    Hello,
    I am using Internet Explorer 9 to create a new item by launching Performance Point Dashboard Designer from browser. 
    When i click on "Add new item", an Iframe will open showing dashboard design redirect which keep loading for couple of minutes and the designer never opens. 
    Yes, there are working workarounds like opening these links in other tab or opening dashboard designer directly or by clicking on "Run Dashboard Designer"  from BI Center homepage. 
    However, Can someone please help me how to get designer opened when "Add new item" has been clicked from  PerformancePoint Content List from browser? 
    Thanks in advance.

    An Update :
    I found this is due to the browser limitation. 
    I have downgraded my Internet Explorer Browser to IE 8 and did the following changes in my browser settings. 
    Tools --> Internet Options --> Navigate to Security Tab --> Click on Custom Level Button --> Under Download --> Select "Enable" radio box for Automatic Prompting for File Downloads. 
    Sadly, I cannot ask users to downgrade their browser to IE 8 because MS already stopped support for this browser and there are no other solution for this except going by workarounds. 
    This clearly says why people are moving away from PerformancePoint Services in SharePoint. 
    Thanks

  • Does icloud change the menu from when you right click a file or folder on a windows computer?

    I have icloud on my pc with the windows 7 operating system.
    I currently see some changes to the menu from right clicking
    a file or folder that looks like it is from icloud, but there is something
    on the menu that I just noticed now. I am wondering if it is also from
    icloud. There are two options named, "copy to folder" and "move to folder."
    Is it from icloud or is it not?

    This is the Finder crashing and relaunching. It's probably caused by a dodgy contextual menu module (CMM). I've noticed people complain that a Stuffit Module is causing this problem. CMM's are stored at HD/Library/Contextual Menu Items or Home/Library/Contextual Menu Items. Try removing them and logging out and back in again, a little trial an error will find the one causing the problem.
