Screensaver ends and Firefox opens fullscreen from minimized.

I am using Dream Aquarium screen saver. Whenever the screensaver comes on, and I click it off by the mouse, FF8.0.1 opens up full screen from being minimized to the tray.

Hi,
Does this happen when another screensaver is set? You may want to check this behavior with a built-in screensaver that came with the OS.
If it doesn't repeat with another OS screensaver you can report the problem [http://www.dreamaquarium.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=2&sid=5e6cd2eaabb4c75d75ed97fe220e64b2 here.]

Firefox 32.0.1 installed on my Mac OS 10.6.8 and links from Mail no longer open. Click a link and Firefox opens, but the link doesn't appear or activate.

Some users have a similar problem to this, but if FireFox is already open the link from their mail client will activate in FireFox. For me, once I click a link in an email, FireFox immediately becomes the active application, but nothing further happens. FireFox has been the default browser for ages, but I stopped that, and set Safari as the default. Then quitting and re-opening FireFox I re-established it as the default browser, but the problem persists.

It amuses me that the email that was sent to confirm the posting of this question had a clickable link. Naturally that link did not work. Cutting and pasting it into FireFox allowed me to complete the posting process. Annoying.

Firefox just won't open. I get the little timer that indicates that something is happening but nothing ever happens, no error message, firefox just doesn't open at all. Internet Explorer opens fine and firefox opened fine yesterday.

Firefox has always worked great, no problems. Today it just would not open at all. The hourglass showed up like it was going to open but nothing would happen. I then right clicked the icon and chose open and the same thing happened which was nothing. I get no error message at all.

One of your add-ons might be the culprit. Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If that solves the problem, see [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and possibly [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

Problem with Safari and Firefox opening some websites

In Firefox I have recently been getting:
THE CONNECTION IS RESET
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web
Also a message in Safari:
"Safari can’t open the page because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection, which sometimes occurs when the server is busy. You might be able to open the page later."
It is only occurring with a few sites, but occurs on the same websites in both browsers.
I'm using an iMac, running OSX 10.4.11 and using Airport to connect to a Netgear wireless router.
I've emptied cashes, cleaned cookies, reset browsers etc, I've run MacScan, but the problem persists.
Having already done some on-line searches I have seen people talk about proxies, DNS and possible malware (though usually referring solutions to PC's.
Any one know of a fix for this?

Hi,
Make sure your are running the latest version of Safari. From the Safari Menu Bar click: About Safari
The version number will be displayed there. You need to be using 4.0.4 If Safari needs updating go to your Apple Menu then click Software Updates.
Safari 4.0.4 requires the 2009-001 Security Update. Open System Preferences/Software Updates - Installed Updates. If that update is not listed go here.
http://support.apple.com/downloads/SecurityUpdate_2009_001__Tiger_PPC
Also, open System Preferences/Network. Select the tab. Make sure none of the boxes are
checked under: Select a proxy server to configure
Try disconnecting the router from it's power source for 5 minutes, reconnect the router and
restart your Mac.

Firefox opens links from file:///var/tmp/

Using kdemod with Firefox set as default browser, when I click a link in Kmail, an IRC client, or Kerry Firefox doesn't go out onto the internet it opens the link from the address file:///var/tmp/*. At some point the computer is retrieving text from the internet and creating the tmp file, but I get a really ugly page with no images at all and a really poor layout.
This only affects my login. I've compared the entries in the Control Center --> KDE Components --> File Associations for html between logins and everything seems to be setup the same. Any ideas what could be going wrong?

what about kcontrol > kde components > components chooser > web browser? Is that set to your preferred browser?
*edit*
After re-reading your post I am not sure if the above has anything to do w/ it.

I used to write e.g. "onet" in the address bar and firefox opened page "onet.pl". After reinstalling Windows it only moves me to Google. How can I change it?

Thank you in advance!

Firefox's address bar ("location bar") has an "autofill" feature based on your history. Once you've visited onet.pl the next time you type onet Firefox should suggest that location by pre-filling it in on the address bar. Is that not working? Does it work for .com sites or not for any sites?
Or if you meant more generally that you want to type a word and have .pl added to the end, then you can change what Firefox does with address bar entries by disabling the search feature. Then Firefox will use a "fixup" procedure instead. This change needs to be made in about:config. Here's how:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''keyw''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''keyword.enabled''' preference to switch it from true to false
(4) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''fix''' and pause while the list is filtered
(5) If the '''browser.fixup.alternate.suffix''' preference isn't .pl you can double-click to edit it

How to get FireFox to access links I select in my macmail application. Click on link and FireFox opens, but doesn't search for link.

When Safari is selected as default browser, clicking on a link found in an email (macmail) prompts Safari to open the linked page/site. But FireFox merely opens, doesn't go to the URL selected. What do I do?

Does that also happen if you disable all extensions?
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

When I start Firefox for the first time, 1 Firefox.exe shows up in the Task Manager (8,180K), but Firefox doesn't start. When I click on it again, a second Firefox.exe shows in the Task Manager, and Firefox opens. Is the first one a Trojan?

I'm using version 3.6.12 on Windows XP. The icon points to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Firefox.exe. The Properties of that file look okay.

No, most likely not. I reckon you got some antivirus software on your machine, don't you?
Sometimes Firefox does load into memory but won't show your start page.
Simply open the task manager, click on the "Processes" tab and kill the (two or more) firefox.exe processes you've just created. Double-click your Firefox icon and everything should be back to normal.

Photoshop CS5 64 bit crashes at launch, save as, and when opening photos from Lightroom.

I have had this problem intermittently for years with different versions and different computers, but this time it is not going away. I need to use the 64 bit version for large files, but it keeps crashing in several different ways.
1- I open the program from the desktop. It shows the spash screen, shows the workspace for a couple of seconds, and then crashes with the message:

I am using the latest version.
My video card drivers are totally up to date.
I am using a decent computer with 16 gig of ram.
I am opening the program as an administrator.
I have reset the prefrences too many times to count by deleting the prefrences and holding down ctrl+alt+shift at startup.
2- If by some wild stretch of the imagination I get the program to start with totally cleared prefrences and running as administrator then the program will crash about 75% of the time when using "Save As".
If I try to do anything special like create a new folder to put the file into then the chances of a crash increase greatly.
3- If I try to open up a file from Lightroom, even if the files are opening every other way, Photoshop will crash very often.
What is going on here? I have made no changes to my computer, have not installed any new programs, and, as I stated earlier, have everything updated. I even stopped using plugins a long time ago because I did not want to take the chance that it was going to cause this fragile program to crash, so all plugins are uninstalled. Why does this keep happening? When this has happened before everything will work fine for months and then suddenly I cannot get the program to open. When it does open again, for seemingly as unknown a reason as when it stopped, it will work anywhere from a few minutes to another couple of months.
This seems to be a problem that tons of people have, but I have not been able to find any answer other than "Delete Settings" or "Run as Administrator" or "Update *****."
What can I do to keep this from happening and to fix it when it happens?

Update - Problem Solved.
The problem turned out to be with with Avast. I found other people that were having the same problem with Outlook and they pointed to this problem. The live scripts protection seems to have been causing the crash on startup. Why it was intermittant at first and got worse I have no idea, but since disabling Avast temporarily while starting I have not had the problem again. Now I am just going to have to start shopping for more Photoshop friendly antivirus software.
Thank you for the advice Mylenium, unfortunately (or actually fortunately for me) I did not have any 64 bit conflicts.
The other action that I took was to remove all programs installed since the problem started. This did not fix the problem but it certainly cannot hurt to keep everything that I am not using off the computer anyways.

Cannot use min-max-close buttons in top of screen after loading new web page, also has issues with videos. Does work fine oddly after shrinking the window and re-opening it from the taskbar...

Issues with firefox where it wouldn't respond to above mentioned tasks, its like its clicking through the browser sometimes to screens behind it, or with drop down menus, it opens the menu up, but you click an option and it'll click on whatever the drop down menu is cover up. My computer has been running rather ragged lately which makes me think its a virus, I do have anti-virus and have tried a couple of programs to clean whatever it is up. I've also tried reinstalling firefox and that doesn't seem to help either.

In Firefox 4 and later Safe mode disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode
Try to disable hardware acceleration.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

Why is that when I have my computer on and firefox open and I shut firefox and reopen I get the restore previous button and when I start my computer there is no restore previous button and I have to reset my tabs. This is very unproductive

I have asked this before and did not get a answer. Is there a way I can reinstall version 3. Also, how do I get to the tools option can't find

There was a different question here which I replied to, when I hit Post Rely, this question came up as the one my reply is to! It was from Larry also, but just the same, Why did the reply jump from one question to a different unrelated one? I hope Larry gets the problem he has fixed!
Hey Larry, I had the same problem when I down loaded Fire Fox 4.0! Go to the upper left corner of the screen. Is there a small red box with an arrow that says Fire Fox? Left click there and a new menu drops down. Go to Options DO NOT CLICK!, scroll over to Menu Bar and left click on it and the red box goes away and leaves all the options your looking for! To remove it back to the other way, left click on Views, scroll down to Toolbars, DO NOT CLICK!, scroll over to Menu Bar and click on that and it will revert to the original set, with red Fire Fox bar in corner again! Have a Nice Day! :)

[E2013] [MailApps] [JS] [Windows]: window.open from a mail app fails in Chrome and Firefox but works in IE

I develop an Office Mail App which is used in Exchange 2013 On-Premises in my test lab. The mail app is hosted on IIS 8 (Windows Server 2012 R2) in the same LAN and ActiveDirectory domain.
Opening popup windows from the mail app does only work in IE, not in Chrome and Firefox.
Here are the details:
The following server and domain names are changed to hide our internal names. I adjusted the error messages accordingly.
Exchange 2013 is available at https://e13.some.dom/owa...
The app content comes from https://server.some.dom/...
Both the app and exchange server have valid SSL certicates.
Both server URLs are listed in the popup exception lists of the browsers I use.
The app generates html with an element which uses onclick to open another item in the same mailbox in a new browser window. Like so:
<a onclick="window.open('https://e13.some.dom/owa/#viewmodel=ReadMessageItem&ItemID=SomeValidID', '_blank', 'width=600,height=400');">click me</a>
Clicking that link in Internet Explorer (11.0.9600.17105; Update Versions: 11.0.7) opens a new browser window and shows the message specified with "SomeValidID". All good.
When I use Chrome (Version 34.0.1847.131 m) the popup browser window opens. I see some progress text "Starting..." and "Almost there..." and then this error:
something went wrong
Sorry, we can't get that information right now. Please try again later. If the problem continues, contact your helpdesk.

In Firefox I see the popOutManager-access with "permission denied", but the popup window itself was already opened.
Seems like the opened popup window tries to open another window?
When I open up a new browser window in Chrome or Firefox manually and paste the URL (https://e13.some.dom/owa/#viewmodel=ReadMessageItem&ItemID=SomeValidID) manually in the address bar the message is shown correctly, so the URL itself does not seem to be
the problem.
Double clicking on messages in Chrome and Firefox opens those messages in new windows as well. So it does not seem to be a general popup problem in Chrome and Firefox as well.
Any ideas how I get the popups from my mail app working in Chrome and Firefox as well?

How can I prevent Firefox 7 & 8 from launching two firefox applications simultaneously when I open or reopen Firefox?

When I launch Firefox, the blogspot URL below opens its own Firefox window 2 seconds before another Firefox window opens the current tabs I am working with. The 2 windows then merge into 1 one application window. I have not created any additional profiles. I can't block the site, can't close the blogspot URL in its window because its titlebar controls are offscreen and I can't reposition window. I can only close its window if it appears in the taskbar as another Firefox window. The blogspot window does not appear as a separate process to allow me to terminate it.
Also, is there any way to prevent the chronic Javascript error that appears one or more times on each new tab: doc.getElementsByTagName is not a function

This happened to me too.
I analyzed the source codes of the extensions I'm using and found that a [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/keylogger-220858/ keylogger] extensions developed by [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/user/5389748/ Lipo-Technologies] is behind the game. Just uninstalling it fixed all the issues for me. Extensions developed by them includes Play Your Piano!, Keylogger, Browser Server and Test Your memory!.
Other interesting things which you guys will definitely find interesting:
* Evil code starts from line 165 of keylogger-1.5-fx/chrome/content/overlay.js
* Every time when I check the logs of keylogger, a GET request is made automatically to http://lipo-technologies.com/Keylogger/ajax2.php.
If the response of this GET request is "no", nothing happens.
If it is "yes", the sturcture will be like this: ''yes^^^http://google.com/^^^toolbar=0,location=0,titlebar=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=0, resizable=0,height=105,width=780,top=0,left=0'' and Firefox opens a new window with that URL.
That simply means, those extension developers can open any page they wish on your browser at any point of time.
* By the way, http://lipo-technologies.com/Keylogger/news.html actually redirects users to http://no1techblog.blogspot.com/.
So if you are checking source codes of extensions, normally you won't find any direct links to no1techblog.blogspot.com
* Check out the "Browser Server" extension developed by the same team, they also opens advertisement windows randomly. (We miss POW, really)
Note:
I just copy pasted my previous post from here: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/857782#answer-279635 When I start Firefox the following website loads dozen of times: http://no1techblog.blogspot.com/ - How do I stop this? (not an issue with MSEx)]

I wont to use IE for some pages and Firefox for others, but when I enter a url in IE, Firefox loads and opens the page

I use IE 8 and the latest version of Firefox in XP.
