Unable to move Firefox 29 window in Windows 7

I can resize just fine, but moving the Firefox window does not work.

The problem with not being able to move (reposition) your Firefox window might lie it the Theme you have chosen. Try going back to the Appearance tab under Add-Ons and switch back to the "Default" theme and the problem goes away. There are some very nice themes out there but some of them will not allow the Window to move.

I am unable to use Firefox with Windows 7 64 bit. I've tried everything I can think of!

I have Window 64 bit installed on my HP laptop. It came with Vista but I upgraded to Windows 7. Firefox will not work properly now. I have installed the right version from the Mozzilla website and disabled all add-ons. Still wont display any pages properly when I open the browser. Any ideas? I've done malware scans, anti-virus scans and come up with nothing.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Here is a solution that worked for a user who also had a problem with iTunes Software Support. This thread was for a win32 version, but Maybe this is the problem for both of you?:
IT appears that AppleApplicationSupport.msi, is not opening and installing properly.
Download and SAVE iTunesSetup.exe, where you can find it.
Then:
1. Download and install WinRAR.
2. Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe icon and choose "Open with WinRAR".
3. Once the EXE is opened in WinRAR, double-click AppleApplicationSupport.msi and when the installer window is open choose "Repair".
4. Done! You can now run iTunes normally.
Here is a link to that fairly lengthy thread.. http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2151777&tstart=-1

Unable to move the Itunes8 window. Silly !

Don't ask me why... I don't know.
The fact is that i can't move the Itunes 8 window on my desktop anymore... Everything works fine (Genius and so on), but the window is stuck in the middle of my desktop. Did I miss something
Thank's for our help.

From MacFixIt
The iTunes window seems stuck in place Several users have had an issue where the iTunes window is frozen in place. The program seems to function perfectly in every respect, except users cannot drag or resize the window. This problem has been associated with an incompatible "Accubeat" plugin that had been installed for iTunes 7. Apparently this plug-in is not yet compatible with iTunes 8, and should be removed for users who have updated. It is recommended that users remove any third-party plugins if they are experiencing faulty application behavior upon updating. If problems still occur then users should remove the iTunes preferences file (called com.apple.iTunes.plist and is located in /username/Library/Preferences/.

Unable to Move or Resize window after XGrabKeyboard

When gaining focus is detected in java, a call to XGrabKeyboard is made through JNI.
When losing focus, a call to XUngrabKeyboard is used.
Intermittently after the call to xGrabKeyboard the Java window is not able to be moved or resized.
When hovering over the window titlebar the cursor appears as a single arrow cursor instead of the normal 4 arrow (N,E,S,W) cursor.
After losing and gaining focus a few times, the cursor will eventually return to normal and the window can be moved or resized.
When commenting out the call to XGrabKeyboard the issue does not occur.
Has anyone else experienced this and if so, found a solution?

Probably a timing issue. You're doing basic X Windows calls outside of what the JVM's X Windows handling is aware of.

Unexpected performance of Firefox in Windows 7, namely minimize/maximize/close buttons not working and unable to move/resize window.

I have been using FF for a while now. My main computer was WinXP-32, though I recently bought a new laptop with Win7-64 installed. This problem was never experienced on my WinXP machine.
Brief description of problem:
After a time of having FF up and running, the minimize/maximize/restore/close buttons in the top-right no longer work as expected and, if not maximised, I cannot move the window around my desktop nor resize the browser window. When clicked, the buttons will
rapidly flash on and off continuously without appearing to perform any noticeable function other than temporarily hogging CPU cycles. I've found that clicking (sometimes double clicking) in the main browser window then mousing over the buttons again seems
to stop them flashing, though does nothing else.
To minimize/maximize/restore/move/close the window(s), I have to right-click on the relevant tab in my taskbar and pick the desired option. Occasionally, however, even this doesn't work and the right-click menu will disappear as soon as I move the mouse
over it after right-clicking. 'Show desktop' is a temporary fix for minimising windows and 'ALT + F4' or 'CTRL + W' for closing windows or tabs. This isn't satisfactory and to move or resize a window, I have to close the window in question (sometimes all other
windows too), reopen it and do what I need to do, though sometimes even this is only a very short fix. If I have to close all the windows, FF will sometimes keep running for a while afterwards, even though no windows are actually open - simply ending the process
via the windows task manager will fix this though is only a work-around, not a fix.
One thing I have noticed is that if I manage to move the browser window (when not maximised), for a short period afterwards I can often resize the window successfully. This is more likely to occur if the browser window is not flush with the edge of my screen
once moved.
I've tried to include as much information as I can - most of which was determined after several minutes/hours of playing around with different scenarios, trying to manually reproduce particular problems or simply through sheer luck of happening to click
in the right place at the right time! I hope there is a reasonably fix for this at some point in the not-too-distant future.
I noticed in some of the threads at another site where people have voiced problems similar to mine, that a link to 'ObjectDock' was discovered in some cases. I do have 'ObjectDock 1.90 Plus' installed on my machine and use it in many ways and so decided
to see if I could find a connection between the two. I have uninstalled, tested, and reinstalled both programs in a multitude of ways, though could find no conclusive correlation between having both bits of software running or installed at the same time and
the problems I am experiencing. In my case, at least, this does not appear to be an answer.
Also, in another thread on this site, someone suggested there might be a link with AVG Anti-Virus Free (I have version 9.0.819) though I've tried uninstalling it and its various add-ons in several different combinations, with no noticeable improvement.
Sorry for such a long question... If you need to know anything more, just let me know!

Hi Kossa,
You can also check if the issue occurs in
Clean Boot. If the issue disappears in the Clean Boot environment, you can continue to narrow down which entry is causing the issue.
Besides, uninstall it and re-download
a fresh copy of FireFox to check the result. If the issue still exists, create a new user account to see if it occurs.
If the issue persists, you can contact Mozilla Support directly and use Internet Explorer (IE) during the time.

Unable to download itunes using firefox on windows 7

I'm using windows 7 and when I click the download link on http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ it brings up the prompt to save and I click save but there is no download performed - the file does not exist and is not listed in the "Downloads" drop down option.
Apple assumes it's downloaded http://www.apple.com/confirm/itunes/thankyou.html and states "Now that you’ve downloaded iTunes, you’re just a few steps away from starting a digital entertainment collection and enjoying it on your Mac, PC, iPad, iPhone, or iPod."
HELLO the download did not occur.
Most site will offer a link that states - if your download did not begin click here and have a means to start it again but not Apple they are sure it's done.
Any one out there know what's wrong with the download page or a way to get iTunes from another source on apple's site?
-edit moments later
That "thankyou.html" page loading before the end of me clicking save and selecting where it's saving was causing the download to not initiate properly
I saved it as quickly as I could and surprisingly the download succeeded to begin.
Apple website developers should be notified of that error/behavior so it can be fixed - simply don't load the thankyou.html page until the install is completed maybe

See my response in the I am unable to download iTunes with Windows XP using firefox? I am told it's a binary file and tells me to "save" it. Once downloaded it does not open up. Anyone have any ideas why? thread.

After upgrading to Firefox 8 for mac osx I am unable to close a browser window using command w, or command shift w?

Hi there,
After upgrading to Firefox 8 for mac osx I am unable to close a browser window using command w, or command shift w?
Is there any way I can correct this as it is very annoying?
Cheers

It only happens for me on pages where I've allowed some Flash element to play (I have Flashblocker) such as a YouTube video.

Old PC has Firefox on Windows XP, & new PC has Firefox on Windows 7; I want to move tabs from old PC to new PC--How?

My older PC has Firefox on it with Windows XP. My new PC also has Firefox with Windows 7. How do I transfer the information on all the tabs on the old PC to the new PC?

When you say "tabs" do you mean your Bookmarks?
For best results:
(1) On your old computer, export your bookmarks to an HTML file. This article describes the steps for Firefox 3.5-3.6: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Exporting%20bookmarks%20to%20an%20HTML%20file#os=win&browser=fx35 Exporting bookmarks to an HTML file | How to | Firefox Help].
For Firefox 4-5, "Organize Bookmarks" changed to "Show All Bookmarks", and on the Firefox menu (orange button) you just click Bookmarks.
(2) On your new computer, import that HTML file. This article describes the steps for Firefox 5 (note the item on the Bookmarks menu was renamed "Show All Bookmarks", and on the Firefox menu (orange button) you just click Bookmarks): [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Importing%20Bookmarks%20from%20an%20HTML%20File#os=win&browser=fx5 Importing Bookmarks from an HTML File | How to | Firefox Help].
Does it work?

Firefox Crashes Windows 7 - Restart Required!

All of a sudden today I am unable to run firefox's latest version without my entire system crashing! If I attempt to open Firefox, the window comes up for a split second and then everything freezes up and won't respond to anything (mouse movement, cntrl+alt+del). I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox twice now but nothing has helped.
What are the next steps to diagnosing my problem?

See related Bug [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=680927 680927] for more info<br>
The likely problem is use of certain Oracle etc software, the developer Oracle being aware of the problem and working on a fix. Meanwhile there is a registry hack as a potential workaround, or the simpler workaround of downgrading temporarily to firefox 3.6.23.<br>

When I open a second Firefox browser window, the URL address window, instead of showing the URL, says "Go to a Web Site;" also, and more importantly, the "back" button is greyed out. This is a new problem, and the first Firefox window I open works fine.

After I open the first Firefox browser window, any additional window I open does not open my homepage, but opens a blank page with "New Tab" showing on the tab. An orange "Firefox" tab with a drop down arrow shows at the upper left hand corner of the screen. All of the options (File, Edit, etc.) are greyed out, however they will work if you move your cursor over them.
The URL address window says "Go to a Web Site". After I've gone to a website, the back button remains greyed out and I am not able to go back to a previous page. My RoboForm and Netcraft toolbars only show up in an abbreviate form. The add-on bar doesn't show up at all.
Again, this is a recent problem, and only happens after I've opened one browser window (which works fine) and then open additional browser windows (as few as one additional).

I had this same problem. Seems to be caused by the web developer tool bar FF extension (this started happening after a recent update to that extension). After disabling it, my FF is back to normal :)

"Move To New Window" Does Not Work in Version 5. It opens a new window, but it's blank, and the tab I wanted as the new window stays where it is. Is this a bug?

Right mouse-clicking on a tab and selecting "Move To New Window" should open the contents of the tab in a new window, and then close the original tab on the original instance of FF. But in Version 5, that action simply spawns a new window that is totally blank, and the tab I wanted opened in a new window stays attached to the original window.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

How can install the Fractal Image plug-in into Firefox for Windows 7?

I have the plug-in necessary to view fractal images built with the now no longer Iterated Systems program "Fractal Imager." These are files with the .fif extension and the plug-in is needed to view them. The plug in I have is fully functional. The problem I am having is that I needed instructions on how to upload this plug-in into Firefox for Windows.

There has been a change in where Firefox searches for plugins and the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder is no longer scanned for plugins, so Firefox won't find them anymore if they are installed in the plugins folder instead of the "browser\plugins" folder that Firefox now scans.
You can set the plugins.load_appdir_plugins pref to true on the about:config page to make Firefox scan the "<install>/plugins/" directory for plugins like the WMP plugin (np-mswmp.dll).
You can alternatively move plugins from "<install directory>\plugins\" to "<install directory>\browser\plugins\" (create this folder when missing) to make Firefox find them again.
