Running Windows 8 on Parallels, do I need new windows copy to run Bootcamp?

I currently run Windows 8 on Parallels 8, but wanted to run Windows 8 on Bootcamp.... would I need a new copy of windows or is there a way to use the same one?

If you are talking about on the same computer, don't install Windows again. Just start Parallels and tell it to use your already Bootcamp installed Windows as the guest OS. You then can use a single installation of Windows interchangeably from Bootcamp or from Parallels.
If you already have Windows installed in Parallels you can't do what I suggested without removing Windows in Parallels then installing Windows in Boorcamp first.

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.

Tabs only open in a new window. Ctl T opens a new window NOT a new tab help-last update this problem started. How do I set FF back to open tabs in 1 window

Tabs only open in a new window. Ctl T opens a new window NOT a new tab help-last update this problem started 2 days ago. How do I set FF back to open tabs in 1 window?
There is no plus sign and going into optins and changing settings has not worked. I have uninstall FF and reinstall-keeping my personalization-and that was no help.
Right clicking on FF Icon to open a new tab, or going up to FF drop down tab and clicking on new tab both do not work.
Help everything opens a new window not a new tab. there seems to be no way to reset this or to chose a different optin. I just downloaded new tabs at end addon and it didn't do a thing.

as a first troubleshooting step - does it work like normally when you open & run firefox in [[Safe Mode|safemode]] by pressing the shift key while you open firefox (all other instances have to be closed before)...

Everytime I click on one of my app tabs it removes it form that brower window and opens it in a new window! how do I get it to work right?

Clicking on an app tab shouldn't remove it from that browser window but it does, seems to sort of defeat the purpose of App Tabs in my opinion. then I have to drag the new tab back into the other browser window and then it works for a little while correctly.
Thanks in advance for all your help!

Make sure that you do not drag a tab in the browser window. 
Firefox 3.5 versions and later have a feature called tear-off tabs. 
You can detach a tab from the current window and open it in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window. 
You can drag that tab back to the tab bar in the original window to undo that detaching.

I am having problems when i have minimized windows and try to open a new window it will open all minimized windows along with the new window. It just changed when mozzilla updated. It did not do this before the update.

I am having problems when i have minimized windows and try to open a new window it will open all minimized windows along with the new window. It just changed when mozzilla updated. It did not do this before the update. Before the update if i had minimized windows they would stay minimized when i opened a new window. Please help ,I would guess it is just a setting somewhere but i cannot figure out where the setting is. Thanks jason

This issue can be caused by the ASK.com Toolbar.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

After Firefox has been running a while, every link opens a new window

After Firefox has been running for a while, every link starts opening in a new window. Until today, if I closed Firefox and restarted it, it would stop happening ... until it started happening again. Then today, I closed it down and restarted it, and it was STILL happening. So either I find a solution, or I stop using Firefox on my Mac.
This is a vanilla installation - both for the Mac and Firefox. I don't use the Mac as my main computer. The Mac is running OS X 10.5 8. The problem has existed through many upgrades of Firefox. I always upgrade as requested. This last time, however may have been the killer. A new upgrade was installed right before the problem became unfixable by shutting down and restarting. I'm running Firefox 15.0. I just rebooted, however, and now (for now), it's working properly.
I have no add-ons installed in Firefox.
My only plug-ins are iPhotoPhotocast, QuickTime, SharePoint, and Shockwave Flash.
I've seen multiple reports of this problem on this Web site, but no solutions. Just a generic recommendation to disable add-ons to see which one is conflicting. But I'm running no add-ons. I think there's a bug in Firefox.

If it were an extension or theme or a Mac driver, wouldn't it cause the problem consistently? This only happens after Firefox has been running for a while. I'm using Firefox to type this reply right now, and the problem is not happening.
And it's not because I suddenly start using some offending software. As I said, I don't use the Mac as my main computer. Usually I'll have been using my PC, I'll go back to the Mac to check my email on Firefox, and suddenly the link problem is happening. I only use the Mac to check email on the server before I download it with Outlook (on the PC) so I can delete spam on the server first.

Backup recovery from dead Windows 7 32-bit machine to new Windows 7 64- bit machine.

My windows 7 32-bit laptop (Toshiba Satillite) stopped working suddenly due to a damaged motherboard. Having been told that a new motherboard would cost more than a new computer i decided to buy a new laptop. My new laptop (also a Toshiba Satillite) has
windows 7 64-bit installed on it.
Having setup my new laptop, i need to restore some files (Emails, internet favourites etc) from the last backup i made of my broken laptop. This backup was made in November 2011 and is saved on my external harddrive.
Can anyone tell me how i get these files from the backup onto my new Windows 64-bit computer?
Thanks for you help

Why can't I open a new window now? I prefer a new window to a tab.

I like using Mozilla, I also like to open a new window, as opposed to a tab (that's just me I guess). I now have to Control W to get a window - can't the open be brought back? (and I don't always need the Private Window).

Hmm, how were you opening it before?
In Firefox 29 and higher, there is a menu button with 3 horizontal bars at the right end of the main toolbar. This should have "New Window" as an item. If you prefer to use the classic menu bar, and open a new window from the File menu, you can display the bar using any of these methods:
* right-click a blank area of the tab bar > Menu Bar
* right-click the "+" button on the tab bar > Menu Bar
* tap the Alt key to display the bar temporarily, then View > Toolbars > Menu Bar
* click the "3-bar" menu button > Customize > Show/Hide Toolbars
If New Window is not available and you only have New Private Window, then you may be in a private window already.
By the way, Ctrl+w should ''close'' the current tab, at least on Windows.

After CTRL+N for new window, bookmarks toolbar disappears on the new window

When I already have a fully, correctly functioning window with tabs running, with the Bookmarks Toolbar visible, and then I use CTRL+N to open a new window, the 2nd window does not show the Bookmarks Toolbar.
When I go to View > ToolBars, the Bookmarks Toolbar show a check. It is not there in the new window, but it in the first window. Seems like a glitch caused by CTRL+N?
This is repeatable, and has happened many times. I have 12.0 but this happened with other Firefox versions as well.

hello, can you replicate the same behaviour when you're running firefox in safe mode? it might be one of the addons interfering...

All minized firefox windows open when I open a new window

I have several firefox windows open and minimized. When I try to open a new firefox window, all the minimized windows open and are displayed. I am running firefox 8. How can I correct this so that the minimized window remain minimized when I open a new window?
Running Windows XP.

That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly (possibly Ask.com toolbar).
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

How do I change opening a new window so it stays on the new window when I open it?

When I click on the 'New Window' button, it opens a new window than immediately goes back to the original window. I want the new window to remain displayed until I choose to go back to the original window.

Sounds that you've clicked the Rest button and have created a new profile.
Note that "Reset" creates a new default profile with a time stamp appended to identify it and tries to recover settings like bookmarks and history and passwords and cookies and auto-fill data from the old profile, but you lose data like extensions and other customizations.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Firefox 15+ versions will move the old profile folder to an "Old Firefox Data-##" folder on the Desktop that gets a number appended if you use reset more than once.
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

New Window Target doesn't open a new window in Contribute but does in Firefox

I have made the neccessary steps to allow a link to open in a
new window by choosing "New Window" as the Target, and when testing
the published page within the Contribute browser it does not seem
to work. So I went ahead and tested it in Firefox (and other
browsers as well) and it does work. Doesn't this seem strange?
Anyone else having this problem? Does anyone know why Contribute
works this way? Thanks in advance for your help.
Todd Temple

I did a quick test by changing a link to open in a new
window. Within Contribute, when I click the link, a new IE window
opened. Can you provide a link to the page or the source code of
the page?

Can't move tab to new window (tabs are locked) or open new window

Hello All,
I have updated Firefox to 28.0 and I am still having the issue with not being able to move tabs to individual windows, open individual windows or click on a web link to open a new window. If I right click on the link it will open in the window as a new tab but will not open as an new window. Can someone tell me if there is a lock on tabs/windows that freezes them? Please help.

Thank you for the input - unfortunately this did not change anything. I removed all extensions and even reloaded Firefox after cleaning out all the hidden files and I still experience the same. I can hit the [+] and get a new page but I cannot open a link in an email unless I right click and open to a new tab - although it will not allow you to open to a new window. you cannot grab a window that is open and pull it so that it is it's own separate window. I have tried this using a different application and it does work without any issue. I do not want to use this application because I like using Firefox -- any suggestions would be appreciated. Just do not know what to do to fix this.

After login close the login window and open home page in new window

Hi guys,
I want to go to a new window for the "home page" without browser back button etc. after login validation.
And also close the login window at the same time.
Here is the code I used after the login validation.
ExtendedRenderKitService erks =Service.getRenderKitService(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(),ExtendedRenderKitService.class);
StringBuilder script = new StringBuilder();
script.append(" params = 'width='+screen.availWidth-10;\n" +
" params += ', height='+screen.availHeight-50;\n" +
" params += ', top=0, left=0'\n" +
" params += ', fullscreen=yes';\n" +
" params += ', scrollbars=1';\n" +
" params += ', resizable=1';\n" +
" params += ', status=1';\n" +
"window.close();\n" +
" newwin=window.open('home.jspx','xxxxxxxxx', params);\n" +
" if (window.focus) {newwin.focus()}");
erks.addScript(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(), script.toString());
This successfully opens a new window. I want to close the current login window at the same time.
Please help me with this.
Regards !
