The content tab will not open on the options pannel so i can deal with pop ups and adds and its driving me nutts

i get pop ups and ads and i am tired of it, and "Do these suggestions help" over and over again is not helping.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

  • Content tab will not open

    When trying to manage my pop-ups under the Content tab I'm finding that the tab will not open. All the other tabs will open, but when clicking Content, the previous tab's info stays on the screen and the Content tab's info (Pop-Up Blocker, etc) doesn't appear.

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

  • New tabs will not open no matter what I do, how can I fix this?

    I keep trying to open a blank new tab by using "ctrl + t", as well as, file > new tab and neither is working.

    This issue can be caused by the Ask<i></i>.com toolbar (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)
    Your system details show that toolbar in the user agent as AskTbMYC-ST/3.12.2.16749

  • When I attempt to open a new tab by clicking the "new tab" button on the tabs bar, the tab will not open. Can this be fixed and how?

    When I open my Firefox browser, the normal 1 tab comes up. But when I attempt to open new tabs with the "new tabs" button, a new tab will not open. I have also tried right-clicking on the tabs toolbar but tabs will not open. The only way I can get a new tab to open is by right-clicking on a link and selecting the "open new tab" option in the right-click menu.

    The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13 version. Disable that extension or un-install it.

  • When I click on the new tab button, a new tab does not open or when I go to file new tab a new tab will not open either.

    When I click on the new tab button, a new tab does not open or when I go to file new tab a new tab will not open either.

    Un-install the '''''Ask Toolbar''''' until Ask fixes the problem caused by their toolbar.

    Well, it is showing as being install in the version of Firefox that you posted here with.
    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.21) Gecko/20110830 '''AskTb'''AD3/3.12.2.16749 Firefox/3.6.21
    ''''' "and whenever I click on a bookmark, it opens in a new tab automatically" '''''
    Probably caused by an extension, or a couple of extensions that are in conflict with each other. <br />

    Maybe you should reset all preferences as there seem to be a lot that have been modified (e.g. network.http and plugin.expose_full_path should have the default value). If you haven't changed them yourself and don't know what they are about then you should leave them at the default.
    You can delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js files and a possible user.js file to reset all prefs to the default values.

  • Find tab will not open in FF25

    After installing FF25 the find tab will not open. Cntrl +F or F3 does not open any find tab. Click on edit, scroll down to Find, click; nothing.
    Even downloaded FindBar Tweak to no avail.
    Using Win Vista.
    Thanks in advance.

    ok, i was just basing this assumption on a report from another users a few minutes ago: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/971806#answer-497599
    as a general troubleshooting procedure, can you try to launch firefox in safemode once and see if the issue is reproducible there too?

    Hi when i switch on the macc 41 files open at once can not open any files while this is happing can still use AI & PS and the internet any help thanks...

    Are you wanting to stop the 41 files from opening at once or is this intentional? At what point do they open when you power on the mac or when you boot Illustrator? What OS version are you using?
    If you can  answer the questions above can provide better advice, but you may be running into something similar:

  • Firefox 7 will not open, only shows up in processes, after Oct's Windows 7 update and force restart.

    Been unable to get FF to open out side of it showing up in the processes. No browser window to even tinker with settings. Uninstalled the latest Windows updates, restarted and still won't open. Then uninstalled recent flash update since that updated as well. Still no go. Uninstalled FF, reboot, re-install FF, reboot, still nothing. I have tried opening in safe mode and FF will not open in safe mode either. Same again after turing off firewall and virus protection. Ran virus and spyware programs, nothing came up in those. Ran them again while in safe mode, just in case, and nothing found on my system.
    The Windows and Adobe updates are the only things that have changed on my system since last restart 2 days ago.
    No window, no nothing, only FF in the processes takin up 50% of my CPU and usin 30,000k in memory.
    What else can I try to get my FF back?

    I have the same problem (and with Mozilla Thunderbird) running with Windows Vista OS. The non-opening problem was preceded by a long period where Firefox and other programs were taking absurdly long times, such as one minute, to open. Starting Windows in "safe mode with networking" solves the problems. Similarly, I just found that If I run msconfig.exe and select "diagnostic startup" then Firefox and Thunderbird both start and start up really fast (that is, when most services and startup programs are prevented from starting). However there is no network so they do not connect. I then turned on (in msconfig) enough processes to get networking running and Firefox and Thunderbird still start up really fast.
    I am fairly certain there are no viruses on my computer, so the only other possibility is that some program/registry-entry is preventing the OS from working properly. The problem with windows that it is virtually impossible to find something like this, since the Windows OS has very weak self-diagnostics, and the registry is absurdly complicated with over half a million entries on my computer.
    If you can do a "repair install" then this will probably fix the problem, but I do not think that Vista has this feature. Alternatively an upgrade of the OS might fix it, such as from Vista to Windows 7.

  • HT2523 My TextEdit will not open email attachments ending docx. How can I remedy this?

    My TextEdit will not open email attachments ending docx. How can I remedy this?

    No, TextEdit cannot read those. You will need to convert them to .doc files first:
    Mac users using Word 2004 who receive a Word 2008 for Mac, (or Word 2007 for Windows) document, will not be able to read this without having the Open XML Converter installed, which can be downloaded from Microsoft.
    Go to this page:
    http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads.mspx
    and click on the right under Most Popular, 'Open XML File Format Converter for Mac 1.0.2'
    This opens a window at the bottom of the page. Scroll that to the bottom and click on English.dmg, and it will download for you as a disk image, which can be installed in the usual way.
    After installation you can open and read .xml formatted Word 2008 documents in Word 2004.

    Hello,
    Open console in Applications>Utilities, check the system log for the date/time of the last problem  & the Startup right after that for clues.
