Upon selecting the firefox window from the windows 7 taskbar, it is no longer in maximized view

i have windows 7 and firefox 6.0.2 (should be up to date), and almost everytime i select the firefox window in the taskbar, it opens, but only does so exiting maximized screen and returning to the "restore"-mode, i.e. the size that the window normally assumes upon clicking the "restore" button (the one on the top right corner usually between "minimize" and "close").

Have you tried: click Firefox button > New Tab > New Window '''''OR''''' CTRL+N '''''OR''''' File > New Window (if using the Menu Bar)
Once open, Firefox locks the Profile that is in use and you can not open another window with that Firefox version and Profile combination using the Windows Desktop icon or the Windows Programs list.

I am unable to download the Firefox program from the web site

Hi,
I have been trying to replace Firefox on my Laptop because it failed to open.
I removed the Firefox program and went to the Web site using Internet Explorer.
I clicked on the download bitton for Firefox; nothing happened. I clicked on the alternative and again nothing happened.
I can do without Firefox but it would be useful to have. Can you help?

Actually what you are describing is not a Firefox issue as you stated you had previously uninstalled it from your laptop. Internet Explorer 9 has a similar download section now modeled after Firefox, thus if you check your IE download folder you are likely to see the Firefox file in which you would need to proceed to click on to continue the install.

For some reason when I download the firefox browser from the 'official' mozilla site, it is downloading to my desktop and its files to my desktop even though safari is set to download all files into applications. How do I change this?

When I download firefox from the official mozilla site on my imac it is downloading its files to my desktop, covering my desktop in junk and I can't get rid of it as it is part of the browser. Why is it doing this? Why isn't it downloading to the right place?

Usually the icon on a file will provide indication of hte application used to open it. Highlight the file in Finder and Get Info on it. It should say what is used to open it.
iTunes will not play all file formats. Even some formats such as mp3 which it should in theory play it will not play all versions of the format. Those mp3s may play okay in Quicktime but the file has some small aspect to it which iTunes will not recognize.

How can I get the firefox icon from the bottom of my desktop moved up onto the scree?

I want to move the firefox icon up onto the desktop so it will show up when I have the battery save function on... How?

Hi LDHill,
Have you tried right clicking on the Firefox and icon and going to ''Send to > Desktop''? That will create a shortcut for Firefox on your desktop.
Hopefully this helps!

I cannot open a new browser window by double clicking Firefox icon or selecting NEW WINDOW from the file menu.

I can open only 1 browser window and I can't open another or multiple windows by double clicking Firefox icon or selecting NEW WINDOW from the file menu.
Looking forward to your earliest reply.
Thanks and regards,

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

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.

Desktop icon for a file on network shows blank in Windows 8.1, if selected the second icon from the library

Hello,
I have a strange issue on my Windows 8.1 machine. The icon for for an executable file on the network shows blank, if I select the second icon from the library. (File->Properties->Change Icon and select the second icon - This file has two icons)
If I re-create the IconCache.db, then it is showing correctly. But I do not want to do this every time.
Regards
Mattehw

It indicates your Icon Cache is corrupted and you need to rebuild it.
Open the command prompt window, type each of the following and after every command, hit the Enter button:
cd /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local
attrib –h IconCache.db
del IconCache.db
start explorer

Why can't I open a window from the dock when Firefox is running?

When I start Firefox, all is well. However, when I close the first window, the Menu Bar items (FILE, EDIT etc. disappear. The word Firefox is still visible as are all the other Mac icons on the right end of the bar.
Clicking on the Firefox icon on the dock while Firefox is running does not open a new window whether in Firefox or in Finder, but clicking on a HTML icon on the desktop will open a new window and go to the site.
The Menu items may or may not appear, but the drop down menus are still active.
I just looks like the Menu headings (FILE EDIT etc) are invisible. I reiterate that Firefox is open and still active (the name is at the left end of the Menu Bar).
I have reinstalled the most recent version of Firefox. Running 10.7.5 Firefox 26.
It is irritating to have to Quit and re-open Firefox every time a want a new window after closing the previous.

Try to remove the Firefox plist file (org.mozilla.firefox.plist).

Is there a way to open a new window from the "Go" menu in Mavericks?

Before Mavericks, I was able to go from the Finder to the top menu "Go" -> "Utilities", or Applications or Home… and a new window would open.
Now I have to manually open a new window to avoid loosing my existing window.

Is there a way to open a new window from the "Go" menu?
First, as others have already stated.....make sure the checkbox is deselected for "open folders in tabs instead of windows" in Finder Preferences.
If you're like me and don't like tabs very much, there is a way to make folders always open in windows with a simple click (I'm using Mavericks 10.9.5). Go to a root folder (for example, the Documents Folder), open it, and select View > Hide Toolbar, then all folders within that root folder will open in a new window.
As an alternative method, any folder can be opened in a new window by holding down either Command Key while clicking the folder. But sooner or later you will forget to hold down that key, and then clicking on a folder will open in a tab (which will automatically resize the window and cause much aggravation).
The Hide Toolbar trick will also work with any folder present on the Desktop. It will make all folders inside that folder open in new windows.
To make the Applications Folder open in a new window when opening it from the menu bar at the top of the screen, you will have to open the main hard drive folder and use the Hide Toolbar trick. This will cause all folders inside it to open in new windows.
Hope this helps.

I'm using Windows 8.1 and the browser won't load any web page. I downloaded the latest one from the website. Any help would be great. All other browsers work.

I want a new window to open when I click the Firefox icon on the taskbar. I don't want to have to right click, then choose "open new window". I have Windows 7.

I want to be able to open a new browser window when I click on the Firefox icon on the taskbar. I don't want to have to right click and select anything. I have windows 7.

This is a "pinned" icon? Try holding the Shift key when you click it -- that seems to work for me.

How do I find the .iso file from my windows 7 install disk?

I am trying to install windows 7 on my new macbook air. I have a copy of windows7 install disk but as there is no cd drive I am having difficulty. I cannot figure out how to find the .iso file to put on a usb in order to install it.
Can anyone help please?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You can only get Windows 7 on a ISO file if you purchased Windows 7 from the Microsoft Store as a download, so this option isn't available for you.
In your case, I recommend you to get an external optical drive (any external optical drive will work) and install Windows from the DVD. Doing this, you will save headaches
