Sometimes when working in an open tab it suddenly pops out and opens as a window. Very frustrating.

I usually have 4 to 6 tabs open at a time. I start with gmail, facebook, twitter and igoogle and add more as I'm working.
Sometimes though, the tab I'm working in FB or gmail or other, will suddenly leave the window with multiple tabs and open a new window with just the site I was working in.

Hello khoopes, how often is that ? do you have it soon enough , like one time in ten clicks on a tab ? can you check it in safe mode ?
'''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

  • Moving tabs from one window to another makes the new window vanish. I have hot corners enabled so when I move up to the right corner of my display I can see all my open windows but when I click on the tab that I moved to make it its own window it vanishes

    Moving tabs from one window to another makes the new window vanish. I have hot corners enabled so when I move up to the right corner of my display I can see all my open windows but when I click on the tab that I moved to make it its own window it vanishes

    I came up with an alternative solution.
    Instead of actually trying to move the JInternalFrame from one JDesktopPane to another, I added a single, maximized JInternalFrame to the left side. When one of the right side frames is to be docked, I merely copy its ContentPane to the single JInternalFrame on the left, set the original to be non-visible, and adjust the properties of the JSplitPane to make the "docked" frame appear.
    When the "close" button on the docked frame is pressed, I simply undo this procedure to "undock" the frame and redisplay it on the right-hand side (with its content intact from the docked frame, but in its original position).

  • When I try to open a new window in Firefox, I get an error message

    When I try to open a new window in Firefox, I get the following error message:
    "Not Found
    The requested URL /en-US/firefox was not found on this server."
    ...but other websites, such as Google or CNN.com, work just fine.
    I'm running Firefox 3.6.28 on my MacBook Pro, with OS 10.4.11. I can't update to the latest version of Firefox unless I update my OS, which would be costly and also involve increasing my RAM.
    But the Firefox homepage worked fine until this morning. Is this likely to be a temporary glitch? If not, how can I fix it?
    Thanks,
    Emmy

    At least at the moment, the default Firefox homepage is back! So maybe this was a momentary glitch. But see below.
    BTW, here's the URL for the page:
    http://start.mozilla.org/en-US/?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official
    '''But, '''the "Mozilla Firefox Start Page" currently lacks a menu bar at the top with various Google options such as "Gmail," "more," etc. I found these very useful.
    I'm wondering -- did Google tell Mozilla to stop including those links on its start page? Maybe Google wants us all to switch to having Google as our default homepage. Or is the lack of a menu bar just another temporary glitch?

    Good day!
    What is "place" supposed to mean – open, place as Smart Object, …?
    What are the image’s Color Mode and bit depth?
    Could you please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels visible?
    Does Window > Adjustments not raise the Adjustments Panel?

  • When i try to open itunes on windows keeps saying apple application is required to run itunes error 2 windows error 2

    when i try to open itunes on windows keeps saying apple application is required to run itunes error 2 windows error 2

    You could try downloading and installing 7-Zip (free) and downloading a fresh copy of the iTunes installer, unpack the installer into its components using 7-Zip then try a standalone install of AppleApplicationSupport. It may still fail to install but if so you may get useful error messages as to why not.

  • Sometimes when listening to music or a podcast, it will stop and start in rapid fire.  I have a 4th gen iPod Touch.

    Sometimes when listening to music or a podcast, it will stop and start in rapid fire.  I have a 4th gen iPod Touch.  A Genius suggested something went wrong during the transfer from my MBP to my iPod, but I tried resyncing it, and it seems to happen haphazardly.  Even if a podcast plays oddly one time, it might play perfect the next - so it can't have been the sync that went bad. 

    - First try a reset. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next restore from backup
    - The restore to factory defaults/new iPod

  • Anyone know why I can't edit my app screen when I plug in my 3g iphone now?  I can edit all the other tabs, but my app tab is all grayed out and I can't add/edit any apps now.  Please help?

    Just last week, I plugged in my iphone 3g into iTunes and for some reason I can't edit my apps anymore.  All the other tabs (music, video, etc.) are all fine, but my apps tab/screen is all grayed out.  I can't edit any of my apps now.  What's the deal?  I can't seem to find anything similar on the support pages, so I'm desperate to find out what the deal is...please help!

    Yes, it's checked as it's how I left it when I was able to edit the page before...now the whole tab is just grayed out and I can't check or uncheck anything. Nothing happens. So frustrated...thanks for any help or suggestions.  I have multiple devices on my account and this is the only one that this is happening with when I connect to iTunes. Ugh!

  • HT2729 Sometimes when I am watching videos on my ipad2, it pauses and I have to push play again and again to continue. Do I have an incorrect setting?

    Sometimes when I am watching videos on my Ipad2, it pauses and I have to continuously play again and again. Is there a problem with one of my settings?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    Have you failed to do this?
    If so, not good, you can transfer itunes purchases from the iphone to your computer.  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    You can also redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:
    Download past purchases - Apple Support

  • When i log onto safari the screen is grayed out and i no touch features are functioning

    when i log onto safari the screen is grayed out and i no touch features are functioning

    Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • When im playing any games it takes ages to load and then crashes it is very annoying

    Right excample facebook games when i play they take ages to load it also keeps saying i need to update flash player which ive done severl times a day and makes no difference then it will just bo of and say page could not be found please reload . Even when i try to open firefox 4 its very slow and then might open 2 or 3 pages at a time

    If it's taking several hours then that is likely due to your internet connection. You can verify at speedtest.net
    6mbps required for instant 720P
    8mbps for 1080P
    You can switch to SD in the settings (which only requires 3mbps)
    You can also check istumbler or netstumbler for interference
    Make sure you are on your ISPs DNS
    The reloading is normal. There is no accessible storage on ATV. The small flash is used for caching streamed content, if you access other things or turn the device off it will be flushed.
