The ShareThis tab no longer closes automatically in Firefox.

When I use the ShareThis button in Google Reader, a new tab is opened in Firefox. Previously, after hitting the submit button, the tab would automatically close, but, after the most recent update, this no longer occurs. In fact, the tab repeatedly reloads itself when I hit submit, sometimes repeatedly posting the same article. Does anyone know why the tab no longer closes automatically and how this can be fixed?

I do not know what has changed in the last 24 hours, but I am no longer experiencing this problem.

    I cannot access movies which I have previously rented but did not watch? The rented tab no longer appears next to purchased.

    I'm having the same issue - rented movie, did not watch it - I chose to exist as soon as it started to try to enable Close Caption (which does not exist btw) - I can't go back to the movie, it just says goto Settings and select Downloads ,but that option does not exist

  • Since the last update, whenever I close and reopen Firefox, my default search engine changes back to Google. What's going on?

    Since the last update, whenever I close and reopen Firefox, my default search engine changes back to Google. I have to manually change it back to my preferred engine. Is anyone else having this problem, and if so, how can I permanently change my search provider, instead of having to manually change it again every time I start Firefox?

    You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
    *https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
    Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
    If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    Try to delete the search.json file and possible search-metadata.json and search.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder to reset the search engines to the default.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Firefox will rebuild the search.json file from the default search engines in the "browser\searchplugins" folder in the Firefox program folder and the searchplugins folder in the Firefox profile folder.
    You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)

  • I just tried the 'group tabs' function but when I close a window and open a new one, the last page I viewed opens every single time. I can't remove or ignore the group tabs function and it automatically opens with it. How can I stop this?

    Before I attempted using the 'groups tab' function for the first time, there was no icon (unlike currently). There is now the icon with for the function yet I am unable to remove it or its function.

    Try a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder and desktop shortcut before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 23.0: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

  • The first tab will not close, and often does not load all of a page.

    When I open firefox, the first tab always has 'search bookmarks and history' in the address bar, instead of the url of my homepage, and it will not close.

    While trying to figure out a solution, I removed my themes and I closed the tabs I could, then clicked on the new tab button, doing so changed my original tab into an (Untitled) tab and created a new (Untitled) tab. I then found I couldn't close either tab, I clicked on new tab again, got a third (Untitled) tab, which again I couldn't close. I then closed Firefox choosing not to save. This appears to have fixed the problem; however I do not know which of the above action(s) resolved it.

  • Can you help me with problems from latest update of Safari and ITunes.  I can no longer delete cookies as I once did, because the security tab no longer displays the show cookies option. Can anyone please help?

    I can no longer show or delete cookies from my MacBook Pro, since installing the latest update of Safari and Itunes..  Previously, I went to the security tab and clicked on the show cookies option, then opted to delete..  That option has now diappeared and a completely different security tab appears.  The tab does not show a cookies option anywhere.
    Also, I can no longer see a list of my software applications without opening system profiler.
    Sure would appreciate your help.  Thanks.

    Safari's cookies is broken, either intentionally or it's a bug.
    You can search the forums for
    safari cookies lion
    and turn up plenty of threads.
    If you need control over your browser cookies and other aspects of your web browser, I suggest you install Firefox.

  • Why is the "Applications" tab no longer in my Finder?

And just today i was went to uninstall a program that had expired, and i noticed that in my Finder, the "Applications" tab was gone. Usually on the top left corner of Finder there are tabs like "AirDrop", "Documents", "Downloads" etc. And applications is no longer there.

    Open up the Finder. Click Finder next to the Apple logo and click on Preferences. Go into the Sidebar tab and make sure Applications is ticked. If it is try unticking and reticking it.

  • I had 9 tabs open on Firefox every day when I start at work. Today, the tabs no longer open. Plus Firefox closed without warning and again the tabs did not re-open.

    I have 9 tabs open on Firefox every morning when I start work. Today the tabs are not there. I re-loaded the tabs and about 10 minutes later, Firefox closed without warning. When I went to open Firefox again, the tabs were gone again. I checked the options box under Tools, and the "show my windows and tabs from last time" is already loaded. Please help!

    Make sure that you not run Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode.
    In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and some features like visited links and others are disabled and not working.
    You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing".
    See [[Private Browsing]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Issues_related_to_Private_Browsing
    You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
    To see all History settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting '''Firefox will: Use custom settings for history'''
    UnCheck: [[ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"
    Another possibility is that there is a problem with the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
    Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak and any existing files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js .

  • Firefox 4 closes the current tab when I close the laptop - why?

    I've just upgraded to firefox 4. Now when I close the laptop the open tab disappears. This never happened with the older version.

    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_crashes and [[Firefox crashes]]
    Set the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes] to '''0''' on the '''about:config''' page to get the about:sessionrestore page immediately with the first restart after a crash has occurred or the Task Manager was used to close Firefox.

  • The Calendar tab no longer shows in users and groups screen

    To add a user to a node, I used to be able to click on the Calendar tab after
    adding a new user to the Directory. After upgrading to Calendar 3.5, it no
    longer shows up!
    <P>
    In the file suitespot_server_root/admin-serv/config/dsgw.conf make sure that the
    following line is added at the end:
    include suitespot_server_root/admin-serv/config/dsgw-calendar.conf
    <P>
    You will have to stop/start your admin server after making any changes.

    Have you tried opening Calendar to see if it updates?

  • How do I save the open tabs when I close Firefox 5? There should be a dialog box opens that asks if you want to do this. Without it I will stop using Firefox.

    This was available in earlier versions and was a great feature. Please restore it or give us a workaround.

    It seems that they decided to disable this feature by default for some reason. In your address bar, type in "about:config" and search for browser.showQuitWarning" in the filter, without quotes. Double-click this string to set it to "true." Firefox should then ask you if you would like to save and quit, or just quit, when exiting with multiple tabs opened.
    Another option is to go to the "General" tab in your preferences and and under "Startup" -> "When Firefox starts," select "Show my windows and tabs from last time" from the drop-down list. This way, your opened tabs are always saved, and always restored.
    Finally, you can achieve this functionality (and more) with the Session Manager add-on. Session Manager is nice because it allows you to save and restore multiple tab sessions. I also find that it's a more reliable fail-safe for saving your opened tabs when it comes to browser crashes.

  • Why is display of icons on the new tab no longer present

    At the beginning of the week I was using FF 3.6.13 on Windows XP, on Wednesday it was upgraded to Windows 7 and still using FF 3.6.13. Before W7 when in FF if I clicked on the new tab the new page was displayed with lots of icons of the most recently accessed URLs. Now when I click on the new tab it just displays a blank page. Is the display of the icons still possible in the W7 variant and if so how do I configure it as I have been through all the history options and can't find anything that looks like it does this.

    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 AskTbLPY/3.12.2.16749

  • Is it possible to have the new tab page appear by default when Firefox starts?

    Can Firefox be set to display the new tab page when starting the browser? In Options > General, the only choices under "When Firefox starts" is show the home page, a blank tab, or restore previous session.
    Alternately, can the new tab page be set as the home page?

    You can add "about:newtab" to the Firefox shortcut on the desktop.

  • How can I get Firefox to stop saving the open tabs when it closes and reinstating them the next time it opens?

    Even tho' I've set options for Firefox to delete history when it closes, it still remembers my open tabs and tries to reinstate them the next time it starts. This causes two problems: 1) it takes longer for Firefox to close, such that if I start it again a few sec later it is still running and won't restart; 2) it sometimes reopens websites I am no longer want when it next starts. The latter also makes the last sites I visited visible to the next user, which I (and I suspect most other users) want to avoid. I would like to turn this feature off since it is far more of a problem than a benefit!

    @cor-el
    I have the same problem.
    My settings are already configured to "Show a blank page". It does show a blank page normally, but when FF crashes, it attempts to reload all the tabs from the previous session when it restarts. My version is: Firefox/3.6.13, and I'm running XP sp3 if that matters.
