Since upgrading to 3.6.13, i can no longer open tabs using the extension, only by right clicking on the open page, and then not always. I've had to go to Chrome as i can't get firefox to work.
Firefox worked great. I have been using it for years. When i completed the recent update to 3.6.13, the new tab button/extension little + box quit working. I can click and nothing happens. I right click, get the drop down menu but nothing works. I cannot open a blank tab or windwo as when i want to go somewhere new without closing windows i have open. The only way i can access a new tab is if i go to my bookmarks and open one then use that screen to go where i wanted to go. I've had to switch to Google Chrome to complete tasks i need done online, but it doesn't let me do a lot of what i want to.
I'll try to make this clear. I USED to be able to left click on a hyper link and the hyper link would open in a NEW tab. Now for some unknown reason the hyper link by default opens in the same tab (window). I have to right click the hyper link in order for it to open in a NEW tab. (Yes, my 'tools'> 'options'> 'tabs' are set to "open new windows in a new tab." (Please no answers telling me to get rid of the Ask toolbar because I don't have one.) Thank you.

Can open a site from bookmarks only by right-clicking and "open in a new tab". Whan's wrong?
Hi.
After some regular updates I can open a site from bookmarks only by right-clicking on it and "open in a new tab". Have this problem also on my PC and a notebook. (Win 7 & Win 8). Didn't add any new add-ons lately, seems like they all work well.
My Mozilla Firefox is ver 31.0
How this problem can be fixed?
Thank you.hello, the easiest way to find out if the problem might be caused by an interfering addon is to launch firefox in safe mode once...

Can no longer go to a website in history list by clicking on the "go to" arrow.
All of a sudden I can no longer go to a web site from my recent history list or to a web site pasted into the location bar. When I click on the green arrow box at the end of the location bar nothing happens.
I downloaded a new copy of Firefox 8.0 and installed it but the problem remains.
Can anyone help?Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> 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).

I can no longer use my mail, only can access through icloud. I have made no changes or updates to create this problem. TWC did take over my internet provider and suddenly I started have a myriad of issues. I am in the process of changing providers to ATT because TWC does not support Safari.
How does TWC not support Safari? (They're lying)
You're using Apple Mail right?
What happens when you launch mail?
Please provide all errors you see. -
I normally have several applications running at the same time, some of them are running 24/7/365.
When accessing the applications its easier to alt+tab between them. On the occasions that I can actually get Firefox to open and stay open it always freezes and remains immovable on the screen after switching to another program.
Firefox goes black except for the border and the close button at the top right. The other buttons disappear. Even after waiting for a period of time it does not clear.
The freeze can occur either on the first switch or second switch. However, it always happens.Have also since found out that to start FF4 in safe mode you just hold shift whilst double-clicking the icon. We only find these things out after the event, murphy's law!

Firefox works fine, but won't respond when I try to shut it down. Using Task Manager to 'End Task' doesn't work. In Task Manager I have to right click on firefox in the Processes menu and click 'End Task'. Apart from logging off/shutting down, this is the only method that works. Also refused to respond when I tried to reset and doesn't respond to commands to change profile settings.
SOLUTION (possible).
Hi all. I had this problem as well. I currently run FF26. A week or so ago, out of nowhere FF wouldn't exit - the window would close but firefox.exe process would keep running in the background using about 50% of CPU. Not sure if it's connected, but just prior to that I clicked on a link on Facebook that looked like spam website, nothing happened, site loaded (sort of, all I saw was a msg - Please Wait...) but nothing happened, I have Eset antivirus and it monitors network traffic and files for viruses, so maybe it prevented my PC getting infected...
So, I had this problem for a few days, was searching the net for solutions, but nothing seem to help. Then, just out of luck I did something that WORKED!
Here's what I did. I noticed that svchost.exe was using a lot of CPU alongside with FF. I ran ProcessExplorer to see what might be connected to this process, the list was long and I didn't have any idea where to start, so what I did was - Right click on svchost process, choose Debug and dismiss the warning. In a few seconds svchost process quit and after that FF started closing properly.
I had to re-enable all my plugins and themes I disabled prior, I also lost my history and preferences which I trashed in the process of searching for solution. But heck, it worked, hopefully for good. Now if someone could point out the real cause of this and fix it for everyone - that would be great. Cheers! -
I updated my home PC's Firefox version to 33.1. I was hoping to see some options here that I see on my work PC's Firefox. Instead, I lost a ton of functionality - most importantly, the Context Menu/Rt Click options. I tried all 3 solutions listed here:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1027817
But none of them have restored the Rt Click "Bookmark Link" option. Are there any other modifications that I can try to fix this issue? Alternatively, can I rollback to the previous version of Firefox that I was using without any problems? I realize that it may be due partly to my machine (running Vista...) but I would hope that there is at least a rollback option, if not an actual solution to the Rt Click "Bookmark Link" option in 33.1.Separate Issue;
Your System Details shows;
Installed Plug-ins
Shockwave Flash 13.0 r0
Shockwave Flash 9.0 r45
Having more than one version of a program may cause issues.
Flash is notorious for not cleaning out the older version as part of an update.
Grab the uninstaller from here:

Before installing 4.0.1 I could right click on the Firefox icon on my computer's taskbar and hit close window. It would then give me the option to "save tabs and quit" or "close all tabs."
Now it just alerts me that I'll be closing multiple tabs.
It was convenient to be able to close Firefox and open it with all of the tabs in place. There is nothing more irritating than having multiple tabs lost because your computer did an update overnight and restarted. Also it was helpful when you wanted to run a tun-up or cleaner that asked you close out of your browser for optimum result's.
How do I get "save and quit" back?
ThanksFirefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
# Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
# Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
# Go to the General panel
# Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time" -
When I watch any video on youtube, every video first starts with short freezes then freezes the Firefox 7.1 Browser window. I have to right click on the icon that shows the browser is open on the taskbar at the bottom of windows and then click on close& cancel to get it to start working again. Also, on any site, I am having problems with links & functions that suddenly stop working, site connections being dropped frequently for no reason, my Modem is stable & internet shows connected. On facebook when I click a button(photos) it doesn't work, in Amazon I click on "submit" and the button stops functioning, in yahoo mail I can click on a button to "send" mail and it won't work. I can open them in IE9 or Chrome but not in Firefox. I have tried disabling all plugins.I also have tried disabling all but flash and still the problems persist. I have uninstalled and reinstalled FF.
Command + R *should* take it to a recovery console. Command + Option + P + R resets the PRAM, but that doesn't sound like your fix.If all of your buttons are working fine on OSX side, I would ignore PRAM / NVRAM / SMC reset tricks, since these are tested as working fine.
I would say you should probably reinstall the drivers for bootcamp. I tried this with 5 in Windows 8 and it gives you an option to repair. The reason I say this is because the UI isn't showing up, which means that it's using another driver.
If this doesn't work, go into device manager and then roll back to your previous settings.
One more thing comes to mind. Do you ever use Parallels or VMWare to load your bootcamp partition? They have their own driver packages which can cause some unwanted behavior when using windows natively.
One last thing you can do is try to by-pass the GUI powerplan entirely. You can use the Powercfg command, which, as it happens, has instructions on how to forcefully set the brightness values. You probably won't be able to make it through these instructions since you will get an error at some point, but that will give us more diagnostic information.
Good luck! -
Can't get Firefox to work properly behind corporate proxy
I am forced to use Firefox behind our corporate proxy and have to continually make exceptions just to get to sites, but even this doesn't always work. I don't know much about certificates, but I know certificates are issued by our organization for each user and device. I've tried exporting the personal certificate from IE and importing it into Firefox without success (couldn't export certificate completely and in correct format for Firefox) and am not sure if I'm even taking the right approach. IE is our only approved browser and I'm sure part of the reason is that proxy settings can be forced via group policy. I've tried adding a certificate exception to Firefox for our proxy, but Firefox is "Unable to obtain identification for this site". Is there any way to get Firefox to function correctly in this environment or somehow get Firefox to work through IE?
I think most proxies work the same way: they generate a fake certificate for the website and present that to your browser so they can decrypt and inspect the traffic between you and the site. It's a hassle having to make exceptions for the individual fake certificates -- it's more efficient to recognize the certificate the proxy uses to ''sign'' the fake certificates as a valid certificate authority.
The trick is identifying that certificate. It might be easiest to do from IE or Chrome, since both use the Windows certificate store (Firefox uses its own). By inspecting the certificate for a secure site and the certificate used to sign it, you may be able to identify and export that certificate (DER or .cer format).
In Firefox, you would import that into the Authorities section of the Certificates dialog:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > Certificates mini-tab > "View Certificates" button > Authorities mini-tab > "Import..." button
Of course, it probably is safest to verify with your IT that you've found and exported the correct certificate before importing it into Firefox. -

I just installed Photoshop elements 11. Install of the application was fine. When I clicked to open Organizer, I received a messaging indicating that it was out of date and coudl not be upgraded. How can I address/fix this?
Thank you for the replies. I'm afraid neither one helped.
kglad, I never get to any error code so your link can't help.
Jeff, I looked at your link and
a) again, I never make it to an error code
b) I'm definitely connected to the internet
c) I can access secure sites; I tried connecting with the firewall disabled and the same thing happened, so I don't believe it's a firewall issue.
d) I don't understand the checking host sites - this is far too complicated for a novice user. It should not be this difficult to get a software running. I don't want to mess with these kinds of settings.
e) I followed the steps for the global sign in root CA and my screen looks the same as the picture here.
I can't activate the software offline as there is no option to generate a response code when I click on having trouble connecting to the internet. All I get is a prompt to change my password.
If the problem were simply connectivity from my computer, then why does the box completely freeze? Can't cancel, can't click on the little X to close it, can't right click on the box to close it. I have to reboot every single time. I know others have had the same problem and I haven't found any answers that I could apply.
I don't understand for the life of me why Adobe does not have TELEPHONE customer support. I have spent 2 days on this, this is crazy. -
In my macbook pro 15 inch mid 2012 model, my cpu and gpu will get very hot, when gaming or rendering sometimes over 200F. The fans only spin at max about 2900 rpm, when their max is 6400. I downloaded a fan control app, but how can i fix it?
Hi rhaughan,
I see that you have concerns about your operating temperature of your computer while using resource-heavy applications such as gaming applications. I have an article that will address some of the concerns you have mentioned:
Mac notebooks: Operating temperature - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-is/HT201640
While there are third-party utilities that measure the temperature of a notebook computer, it is important to understand that these utilities are not measuring the external case temperature. The actual case temperature is much lower. Never use third-party applications to diagnose possible hardware issues—instead, contact Apple or go to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.
You should also see this article for even further information about your fans:

When i open FF4 the first page opens(google search).
the when i go to, lets say gmail, it will open but when i try to look at an e-mail, it won't load.In the bar at the top of the screen a msg shows (in Dutch) saying" firefox reageert niet" (firefox is not responding).
All I can do is close FF and when I start it again it opens with a window asking me to start a new session or open the latest session.
No matter what choice I make the outcome is the same. I can open 0ne page , and then get the same msg as before.
I ran several anti virus programs as well as Mall and Spy-ware killers,restarted the computer, started the computer from a point in the past, nothing helped.
As this went on I was able to use Explorer.
As a last resort I re-installed FF3.6.16
Now everything seems to work again.
But in the two weeks I worked with FF4 it worked really nice, therefore I'd really like to be able to to use FF4

Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get? Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).
I compose an iMessage with the destination as my email address and I attach 2 photos I want on my PC. I send them several times from my iPhone 5C but they never arrive. I look at my ipad later and realize that it's iMessage app is getting ( and swallowing) these emails. I then turn the ipad off. Still can't get the photos through because iphone is now getting them on it's iMessage. I turn off the iMessage feature and try to send photos from text msging. Phone tells me it can't send photos unless iMessage it turned on. What happened to regular MMS text messaging? I go and try to send photos as an email attachment and see that there is no option to attach from the stupid email program. I look up online to learn about the brave new world of apple attachments and send them.
Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?
The email program on my iphone is not configured to remove messages from the server.
If iMessage is turned off I don't have the issue.
Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).Did not work. I've selected iMessage to ON and left it. After a few hours I recieved a message "activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again". This has been going on for the past 3 days.
