Unable to open a second Window

I recently upgraded my Firewall to Zone Alarm Pro and added their Anti-virus as well. Since I've done that I can't open a second Firefox Window. Additional tabs open fine, and any other browser will open a second Window without a problem, but I prefer to use Firefox. I tried reinstalling Firefox 3.6.8 but that didn't solve it.

Try to disable the ZoneAlarm Toolbar extension.
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).

  • I attempt to open a second window from the icon but it does not open then when firefox is closed it will not reopen because it is still running in processes but no window displayed until you kill the process and then restart firefox.

    I attempted to open a new window from the Firefox icon but nothing happens. I then went on browsing and closed Firefox but was later unable to open it. I checked processes and it was already running but there was no window displayed. I am running Windows 7 Professional.
    This is repeated any time I already have the browser open and wish to open a second instance.

  • I am unable to open another Firefox4 window when I have the Error Console open and I can't open the Error Console when I have two Firefox4 windows open. Is anyone else having this problem?

    I am trying to debug the jQuery to a micro site I've created and I am unable to open the Error Console when I have two Firefox windows open and I am unable to open a second Firefox window when I have the Error Console open.
    I am using Mac OS X 10.6.7 and I am using Firefox 4.0.1

    I personally haven't experienced much of the "reverberation/feedback" when using a headset on the i4S...
    Yes, I have near-perfect hearing too (for scope, squeaky brakes hurt my ears) I come from many conversations on many phones and types and first off, CDMA technology is great for coverage, terrible for voice quality. HD Voice in Europe made for some of the best phone conversations I've ever had.
    Back on track, feedback is most noticable (similar to the landline phone) when using the iPhone without a headset, but for me it's not an absolute criticality mainly because I use VoIP apps alot, so maybe it has desensitized me some over the past year.
    But whenever I'm on a call, and the other person has me on speakerphone, I have alot of trouble talking because of the feedback loop caused. So the less of my voice I hear the better I can talk.
    Have you tried a bluetooth headset yet?

  • How can I open a second window in iTunes?

    When I see some albums in the the iTunes Store I want to check whether I have some of the songs already. The Search function in the Store only refers to the store and not to my Library. So how can I open a second window in iTunes (one with the Store and one with my Library) to make it easier to compare?
    Thanks

    My understanding it that was removed from iTunes recently (I still run iTunes 7.5 from 2007), so no, not unless you downgrade iTunes (which is not easy).  You can send feedback to Apple about reinstating it but I have yet to see Apple reinstate something that appeared to have been deliberately removed from its software, despite vociferous complaints on this forum.

  • When opening a second window, homepage doesn't open and can't access any other site, stays a blank white screen.

    After updating to Firefox 6, every time I open a second window, all I get is a blank, white page. My homepage doesn't open, either, even when I hit the home button. I have to manually type in my homepage address, and then, it's the only address that will show in the address bar, even after I leave the page or open any other tabs. The same thing happens when I open new tabs in the second window. Also, the back and forward arrows, stop, and refresh buttons do not work in the second window. None of the short-cut keys on the keyboard will work with in the second window, either. Most of the time, any page that I go to, in the second window, continues to load, never fully loading.
    I even went back to Firefox 5 to see if that would solve the problem, but it didn't. I still have the same issues.
    Everything appears to be working fine in the first window.
    How can I clear all this up?
    EDIT: I waited a few days and reinstalled Firefox 6.0 and everything seems to be working okay.

    There's a good chance this is related to a bug that kicks in when you do not have Flash running in any tab and you open a new window to a page that does use Flash. The details are in this recent thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/955659 Opening New Windows and Shockwave Flash].
    I don't know whether opening a Flash site in a private window makes this problem occur more frequently. Maybe it does because the new window is more isolated from the previous one???

  • Since on Mavericks, cannot open a second window on safari (e.g. via cmd N)

    Since I upgraded my MacBook Pro with Mavericks, I can well open a Safari window, but never a second one at the same time (eg via cmd n)
    Same if a website want to open a second window in pop-up window, nothing happens then
    Very annoying
    Help please

    I just noticed that this is only happening with Terminal - so another app is frontmost but the mouse cursor is over a Terminal window, cmd-N operates on Terminal, NOT the frontmost app.

  • Unable to open a second firefox window if i have already a firefox window running

    You have a corrupted Firefox 3.6.12 user agent (Firefox/2.0.0.14):
    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.12) Gecko/20101026 Firefox/2.0.0.14

    Check the <b>general.useragent</b> prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    You can open the <i>about:config</i> page via the location bar, just like you open a website.
    Filter: <b>general.useragent</b>
    If any <i>general.useragent</i> prefs are bold (user set) then right-click that pref and choose <i>Reset</i>.
    Are you starting Firefox with the -no-remote command line switch?

  • Unable to open a new window you must first close exsisting firefox process or restart your system. There is no firefox process running why should I receive this error msg?

    I closed a Firefox process. Then clicked the FF icon to restart my browser. I received an error message. " Firefox is already running, but not responding. To open a new window you must first close existing Firefox process, or restart your system. However there is no Firefox process running to begin with. I checked the task manager.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    It takes Firefox 5-15 seconds to completely close and for the OS to release the processes; it may take longer if you have a Flash animation/video running in one of the tabs. If not waiting long enough is not the problem, you can try the following to determine if an Extension or Plugin might be causing Firefox to hang at exit.
    <u>'''Kill Application'''</u>
    In Task Manager, does firefox.exe show in the <u>'''Processes'''</u> tab?
    See: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Kill_application Kill Application]
    '''<u>Causes and solutions for Firefox hanging at exit:</u>'''
    [[Firefox hangs]]
    [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs#Hang_at_exit Firefox hangs at exit]
    [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]]
    <u>'''Safe Mode'''</u>
    You may need to use '''[[Safe Mode]]''' (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes <u>'''before'''</u> starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
    See:
    '''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]'''
    '''[[Troubleshooting plugins]]'''
    '''[[Basic Troubleshooting]]'''
    If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling <u>'''one at a time'''</u> until the problem reappears. <u>'''You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change'''</u> via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.

  • I am unable to open itunes on windows 7 64 bit computer - tried reinstalling it, tried older version, but nothing worked...pl help

    Hi,
    I am unable to open itunes on wndows 7 64 bit laptop....tried reinstalling it, tried older version (itunes 10.6) but nothing seems to work. please help.
    Regards,

    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

  • How do I open a second window in iTunes?

    This should be an easy question, but just can't seem to find the answer. I know I read about it somewhere... Thanks!

    Double-click on a playlist, Podcasts or the 'iTunes Store' and a second window will open (without the panes on the left).
    Double-clicking again on a playlist will open a 3rd window and so on.
    Hope this helps.

  • I am unable to open a new window / open link in a new window

    In the previous Firefox versions we are able to open a new window & open link in a new window. The feature is there when you "right click" on the tab or click on the "open a new window" but it simply not functioning

    Link context method works for me, there have been many complaints that the first two items were switched, and that can be easily modified with the "'''Menu Editor'''" extension.
    If it does not work for you an extension might be involved.
    There is also the mouse shortcut '''Shift+click''' on the link. Called mouse shortcut because it involves the mouse.
