Two Fx 4 windows open at the same time causes usability issues

When I load two instances of Firefox, I get multiple issues with the second instance usability, display, and hot keys.
The issues are as follows:
# Menubar/Toolbar appear differently
# Back/Forward buttons do not work
# F-Keys no longer Function
# Favicons show old, cached icons
Please see screen grab of my two monitors with two instances of Fx 4 open, but the I played with my toolbar settings to get it to look somewhat ok.

This is what happens when I open a second window, and do not mess with the toolbars:
http://www.travellingwebguy.com/images/Fx-4-2nd-window.png
This issue was not happening with Fx 3.x.x.
I am using a custom Persona, but I have changed the Persona a few times and I still get the same result.
I've removed all incompatible extensions and upgraded all the ones that needed upgrading.
Not sure what the issue is here, but would love to troubleshoot it down if possible. Please let me know if any other info is required!
Cheers
Tim

Exact same issue here. Also, the add-on manger will not launch.
I thought it might be an add-on causing these issues, but only one out of my ten or so addons work in FF4, and I disabled it with no success.
This is a huge issue for me. I attempted to uninstall FF4 and go back to FF3 but I can't find an install file for FF3.

Two Calendar Windows open at the same time?

I would like to have two calendar windows open at the same time (with different months shown). Is this possible?

Nancy,
That is not possible with the current version of iCal.
If you find a need for that feature, I would invite you to Provide iCal Feedback.

When i have 4 or 5 browser windows open at the same time, sometimes they get grouped into one tab and i can not ungroup them. why does this happen?

4 or 5 browser windows open at the same time. Tabs are down in the control bar. every now and then they just combine into one pop up. can't undo and very annoying. Have to close all out and start over.

This can happen if you drag a tab slightly down in the browser window while clicking.
Firefox has a feature called tear-off tabs
You can detach a tab from the current window and open it in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window.
You can also do this via the right-click context menu of a tab: Move to New Window
You can drag that tab back to the tab bar in the original window to undo that detaching.

How do we keep the panels and the icons windows open at the same time?

Hi, I was watching a tutorial and noticed that he had the panels and icons window open at the same time as seen in this picture:
When ever I click the arrow on the right it removes one of these panels from my view.
How do I do this?

Navigator to layers is a 2nd column. The double arrow is bascially a collapse button. In the screenshot you show has column 1 of windows is collpased, and column 2 is uncollapsed.

I want to have 2 windows open at the same time using Windows7

Using any application, I want to have 2 windows open at the same time - 1 excel sheet & 1 Word document, or 2 diff pages from Blackboard, or email & Blackboard. How do I do this. Multiple tabs show, but only one will display

Are you saying that you can't open a new window using {Ctrl + N} or with File > New Window?
If so, something added to Firefox is blocking the opening of new windows, and you need to do a little troubleshooting to discover what is causing that fault.
Try the Firefox SafeMode. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
# You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
# Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

HT201236 I want to do something so simple that there are no instructions. I just need to have two windows open at the same time so I can transfer files from one to the other by drag

I want to transfer files from one device (or page ) to another by drag and drop , so i need two windows ope at the same time,
I know this can be done but I have forgotten how

Don't use any full screen options for any app that has them
Mount your device and double click on it to open it. Drag this window to the upper right of your Desktop and resize it to a bit less than half of your Desktop.
Open the next folder and position it on the lower left side and resize it so you can still see the previous window.

One SIMPLE, SIMPLE question that the answer seem to be no whre IN PLAIN ENGLISH! What do you have to do to have two of more tabs open at the same time. Just like ANY OTHER BROWSER LETS YOU DO! Ya know....so you can drag and drop things like pics etc.

For Pete's sake. This is not rocket sience. What more details do you want. I want two tabs OPEN at the same time so I can copy from one to the other or drag and drop from one to the other.

You can copy text and hover that selected text with the left mouse button down on another tab on the tab bar until that tab opens and drop the text in a text field in that tab. You need to make sure that that text area is visible because you can't scroll the page. You can also tear off that tab (temporarily) to a new window and resize them to see both windows. Move the tab back to the other window once you are done if you prefer that.

Any way to have two DVD SP projects open at the same time?

Hi
Since it is likely that I'm going to re-build all the menues in my PAL DVD in a new NTSC project, I'd like to know if there is any way for me to have two separate DVD Studio Pro projects open at the same time. That way I can easily check and copy location coordinates for the buttons, copy text, etc, etc.
When I open my new project when the old still open, DVD SP just closes the old and opens the new project.
If it was possible, it would make everything much easier for me, since I have 15 menues to re-create
Thanks!

If you just require a visual reference, you can take screen grabs of your first project and open them in Preview...
Open your project, and press Shiftcommand(apple)4 and the pointer turns into a little cross-hair.... you then click-hold & drag a marquee around the section of the screen you need as reference, then when you release the mouse button a screen grab is taken of that portion you selected.
It will be saved to your desktop as 'Picture 1'
you can repeat this for different sections of the project (picture 2, picture 3 etc), and open them in preview.
Not an ideal solution, but might be of help.

I want to have two windows open at the same time

I have multiple tabs but I want to be able to see two or three windows at the same time. How do I do this

You can click and drag on a tab to "tear" it out into a new window. Or you can open a new window by pressing Control+N, or by hovering over "New Tab" in the Firefox menu and then choosing "New Window" from the sub-menu that appears.

How can i have to windows open at the same time

i have to applications open and i want them on the same window at the same time but these little triangles show up and only allow me to have one open on my screen, i was able to before however. How can i change this?

Open the first website you want and then click on "file" and then on "new window." Another window will appear so now you have 2 windows on your screen. Reduce the two windows so that they both fit on your screen. Now click on the edge of either window and then on the book mark of the website you want and that website will appear in that window, and do the same thing on the other window for a different book mark, OR type in a different website name in each of the windows and you will get those websites in the respective windows.
I know...it seems so easy, but I had to ask someone else how to do it too !

Passing parameters within 2 windows open at the same time

Hi all,
I'm developing a jsp site which i have 1 main window, and it contains link to open another sub window. In the sub window, I have to choose 1 to few plants from a list, when i click on "add" button, the main window will actually updated and display a list with the selected plants.
1) Is that any ways for me to establish the parameter passing process?
2) After getting those parameters, how can i make the main window refresh?
Very thank you for any kind of advises.
Regards,
jeffcjm

Hi all,
Thanks for the quick reply.
Can it handle using JSTL? I did some research, and some ppl said that jsp:include can actually use. However I still wondering on how it can be done if jsp:include can be used. I mean how to pass the parameters using the jsp:include? By setting the jsp:param?
So pls advice.
Regards,

Not able to keep two OEM ( 11g) Database Console open at the same time.

Hi Gurus,
I am running into issues when I try to keep two instances ( TEST and PROD) of Oracle 11g on the same server open in OEM Database Console.
The issue is when i try to loginto the 2nd OEM database control page on a new tab of internet Explorer ( when the Ist DB console is open in another tab), it close the first one and open the 2nd instance.
Also trying opening two seperate IE sessions ( without tabs) , still its logs out the Ist instance.
Any idea why this is happening and How could I have both the OEM DB consoles open at the same time. please advice
Thanks
Sheik

Sheik,
There are two types of Database Enterprise Managers, one is Database Control(free tool) and another is Grid Control(paid tool). The one that you are using is a free tool with the limitation that at one time, there can be only one database which can be managed by it. For each database managed by DBC, there is a different port number assigned and only when you use DBC at that specific port number, you can manage the said database. You can check the initially assigned port numbers for the databases in the file *$OH/install/portliist.ini*. You can have a read about about it over here,
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28301/em_manage002.htm#sthref97
The Grid control can manage all the databases under one window only but its a paid version of EM so it can't be used without a proper license.
