Unable at times to move a firefox window to a 2nd monitor

I have 2 monitors. I open a firefox window on the primary, I then try to "grab" the window and move it to the 2nd monitor. I can't "grab" the window. After multiple attempts I can finally "grab" the window and move it.

  • Can't move/drag firefox window. It enlarges instead (version 16.0.1)

    When I left click the top of the Firefox window, I can't drag it to a different location. It fully enlarges instead. In previous versions it sometimes wouldn't budge.

  • Main screen window grew onto 2nd monitor

    Help. I was working away and my main screen grew into 1/3 of my 2nd monitor. I've had my Imac for 2 years and never had a problem. Now I'm dead. I lowered the settings in Preferences. It made the window smaller, but the MAIN background is still larger than the screen size. Every time I open another program, it's onto the second monitor by 1/3. I've tried everything.

    This is SO frustrating. I've been trying to figure this out for over 10 hours now. There is nothing I can find out there.
    Thanks for reading, maybe this has happened to you.

  • Almost 100% of the time, when I move the Firefox window left or right, the content stays fixed on my screen -- using Windows 7 Ultimate -- how do I fix so that

    How do I fix it so that the content moves WITH the frame as it is moved left or right. Works O.K. in the up or down direction. If the frame has been moved to the right, leaving the content fixed, the "buttons" do not work until the frame is manually moved back to the left side of the screen. I am using Windows 7 Ultimate (x64 bit) with a 1920 x 1200 LCD display in the PORTRAIT orientation, and Firefox version 13.0.1. I do not have this problem with Internet Explorer or Chrome.

    Hmmm, could you try disabling graphics hardware acceleration? Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You usually need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Advanced
    On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    If you restart Firefox, is the issue resolved?

  • How do I stop tracking cookies from respawning every time I open a Firefox window?

    I'm in Firefox 21. I tried to delete my cookies, but when I close and reopen the "Show Cookies" window, all cookies have respawned, including many third party advertising cookies from sites I have never visited, sites such as 2o7.net, interclick.com, adlegend.com, and about a hundred others. This is in spite of the fact that I have "Accept third-party cookies" unclicked. How can I delete these advertising tracking cookies and ensure that they never come back?

    Additional Detail: If I close all tabs and windows of Firefox, then the cookies do not respawn; the cookies window then remains empty. However, once I open a window and navigate to any page, they all come back.

  • Every time I click on Firefox window &/or touch a key on the keyboard a NEW window opens and eventually opens up to some advertizement that I do NOT want to see

    It happened to me again(which it ALWAYS does) when I entered the above question...and I got a add about something from APPLE and I do NOT have any APPLE equipment...

    Hi asduane, <br /> Sorry you are having problems.
    I guess you have picked up some sort of adware or malware. Try to check and get reviews on both software and download sites. Then take care to read the small print about what is being installed.
    Run scans with multiple and up-to-date tools. Hopefully it will be easily detected and removed. I would not suggest you try any manual hacks or edits of the Windows registry. (Once rogue files are removed any residual registry entry will not normally do any harm.)
    Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
    You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

    * [http://www.kaspersky.com/security-scan Kaspersky Free security scan]
    You need to use multiple and up-to-date tools as they will not all pick up the same things.

  • Audio edit window opens in '2nd monitor' and there is NO 2nd monitor!

    Hi,
    Often when I work from home I use two monitors. When I travel and don't have access to a second screen I make do. However, I've ran into a huge issue! Whenever I choose to edit or add audio, it opens on a second monitor even when I'm not attatched to one! The window is off screen and unreachable. I usually have to do my best to find another monitor I can plug and unplug into. That fixes the issue. For the mean time I'm not able to do anything to the main Captivate screen. Is this an issue somewhere in settings? and/or what can I do so I don't have to force quite my project (can't save with audio window open).
    Windows 8
    Captivate Version 7

    Hi there
    Unfortunately because the way Adobe writes their applications, this dialog doesn't have a menu as one would see in a Microsoft application. So this nifty little trick is useless with Captivate.
    Cheers... Rick

  • In Mac OS 10.6, why won't the command n keyboard shortcut open a new firefox window?

    Ever since Firefox 3, command n does not open up a new window. I'm on a Mac, OS 10.6

    Hello cor-el,
    Yes, I do use a 2 monitor set up. And Yes!!! moving the Firefox window to the main or 1st monitor allows use of command n shortcut to open a new window. You're a genius. Thank you soo much!
    Naturally, the reason I use a 2 monitor set up is to have Firefox open on the 2nd monitor for quick reference and easy access. Is there a workaround that will allow me to keep this configuration? (I know, I'm getting greedy now!)
    Many Thanks,
    stevep50

  • Watch fullscreen movie on 2nd monitor & work on my MBP @ the same time?

    I hooked up a 2nd monitor to my MBP (mini to VGA) and figured out how to have an extended desktop. It's a little tricky adjusting where the pointer will be (I don't totally understand it, but with trial and error and lots of persistence, I finally got it to ALMOST be set up the way I'd like).
    I have a movie (.avi file) playing on the 2nd monitor and I'm able to work on my MBP, but I can't figure out how to view the movie fullscreen because when I get the 2nd monitor fullscreen, my MBP screen goes fullscreen as well (and of course the dock and any form of control disappear as my MBP screen is just dark and blank).
    Does anyone know the trick to getting the setup that I want? FULLSCREEN 2nd monitor to watch .avi files while working on my MBP???
    I could really use some help on this one! THANK YOU, oh knowledgeable one(s) who reply!!!

    You won't be able to do it with the included QuickTime media player. But it can be done with other media players like MPlayer or VLC I am pretty sure. Haven't had this exact need myself but have seen other similar threads and recall the above being recommended. Good luck.

  • Unable to load ITUNES onto PC HP, windows 7 Home Version.  Error message reads "Application Application Support not found".  "Unistall and reload".  I have done that 4 times on Explorer and Firefox without success.  Help??

    Unable to load ITUNES onto PC HP, windows 7 Home Version.  Error message reads "Application Application Support not found".  "Uninstall and reload".  I have done that 4 times on Explorer and Firefox without success.  Help??

    I had gotten a similar problem, except with "provider services", i believe, but i solved it by copying sqlite3.dll from E:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support to E:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support. doing that solved my first problem, but now i have been getting the error described in this topic (unable to load dataclass info... etc.). i tried reinstalling itunes (i already had 9.1.1, and thats what i reinstalled) by using the method described on apples site (using the "remove programs" tool in the control panel) and then downloading and installing itunes. when i opened it again, i still got the same error, and just now i got an error saying "the instruction at "0x00aadb6b" referenced memory at "0x00000008". the memory could not be read" it gave me the option to cancel and debug, or to press ok and terminate the program. I tried pressing cancel, and the popup went away but nothing else happened. a minute later the popup was back, so i pressed ok and itunes quit. Upon opening Itunes again, i got the very same error. sorry for the long post, but its really been bugging me. thanks for any help you might give, and if you need anymore info, feel free to contact me.

  • SINCE YOUR LATEST UPDATE, I AM NOW ONLY ABLE TO OPEN ONE FIREFOX WINDOW AT A TIME, I ALSO LOST MY YAHOO SEARCH BAR TOOL.

    I have had Firefox for a few years and have been very satisfied with all of it's features and qualities. I work a great deal from home and have always enjoyed the convenience of being able to work off of 3 or 4 Firefox screens at one time. By pulling up one screen over the other and then go back and forth (as I still am able to do with Internet Explorer), saves a lot of time and NEEDLESS effort.
    Since your latest update the other day, I am now only able to get that 1 screen and no matter how many times I click on the Firefox Icon on my icon screen, no other Firefox screens will come up. I am stuck with that 1 screen...
    PLEASE HELP!!!! I have also lost my Yahoo search tool bar due to your upgrade, as well as several others which I cannot seem to retrieve.
    Thank you so Very much in advance for addressing and correcting this error.

    Since I upgraded to Firefox 19 from 18.0.2, on my Windows XP (SP3) laptop, I, too, can no longer open a new window. File-->New Window does nothing; also can no longer tear off a tab and open it in a new window (it stays where it is). Also, if I right-click on a tab and select Move to New Window, nothing happens. All of these worked fine in FF 18.0.2. All of these work fine with FF 19 on Windows 7. Only an issue on my XP laptop.
    After trying to open a new window, and not seeing the new window come up (and yes, I waited a long time), I decided to close my current window, which had multiple tabs open. Instead of just closing, it pops up the message reminding me that I'm about to close all those tabs. If I say close, and then go into the Task Manager, the Firefox application has disappeared (as expected), but the firefox (and plug-in container) processes are still running. So I have to manually kill the Firefox process to get it to quit. it's as if it thinks there is another Window open (the one I tried to open but never appeared). This happens every single time! I've restarted my laptop, and that does not resolve the problem.
    Is there a way to downgrade back to v 18.0.2 until this is fixed?

  • Recently a problem has developed -- I can't use the top inch of the firefox window -- any buttons there cannot be activated - my cursor is able to move ovber them but can't click on them. What should I do?

    Within the firefox window -- anything in the top inch or so I am unable to use. This is the same for any site. I don't know what has happened and I cannot fix it.
    In that area, I can move the cursor but when I click on things I cannot activate them anymore - an example is I can't go to the shopping basket on Amazon or my account.
    Waht should I do?

  • In 4.0.1, if I have multiple firefox windows open, when I try to close one window, it closes all. Why can't I close just one window at a time?

    I open multiple Firefox windows so that I can quickly Alt+Tab between windows instead of using my mouse to point to tabs. When I close one of my Firefox windows, the browser closes all my windows. What happen to the "Close" feature under the File tab? Why don't I have the option to close only one window at a time?

    I don't understand what happened above, but ericn1, wasn't your problem that you tried to close one browser window using the red X, and ALL of them closed? How did any of the above help you solve your problem? jscher2000 gave you alternate methods of closing windows but said that closing a window with the red X "should" work. It doesn't work, because it is closing ALL your windows, not just the one you are clicking on. I am now having the same problem. with Firefox.
    Understand I do not have the problem with any other program. In other words, I can open multiple windows in Paint Shop Pro, IE, Notepad, etc. and close one with the red X and all others remain open. It ONLY happens when using the Firefox browser.
    The red X should close only the window that you are in when you click on it.
    NOW, before someone suggests tabs, I don't like them and don't use them. My choice. Before someone says my browser is out-of-date, (3.6.13) I am using it because it was the last version that worked reliably on my computers, both at home (Windows 7 Professional) and my office (Windows XP Professional).
    When I updated to the last Firefox browser, both computers started seizing up (nothing worked and had to reboot using power button) Removing that version of Firefox and going back to this version solved that problem. Fact remains, version has little to do with this problem. I've seen other posts around the net about this with different (newer) versions of Firefox.
    So . . . does anyone have a solution to this that doesn't involve using keystrokes or hot keys to close windows instead of the red X that should work properly?
