When I attempt to open a pdf it does not open and then it opens a new tab over and over again, how do I stop this?

When clicking on a pdf file it does not open and then it opens hundreds of tabs. The only way to stop it is to shut off the computer.

You probably have an incorrect action type set for pdf files, it will be set to "use Firefox" rather than using a pdf application such as Adobe Reader. For details of how to fix this see the "Change the action for a content type" section of https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+keeps+opening+many+tabs+or+windows

Hi pissedadobeuser,
Does this issue occur with any particular web page?
Are you able to print the webpage to 'Adobe PDF' to convert it to pdf.
Which Browser version, OS version and Acrobat version are you using?

This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
Select

Browser keeps opening with previous tabs from day before. How do I stop this?

Under Tools>Options>General I have the browser set when I open the browser to "open up a blank page" but it keeps opening up previous tabs from the day before. How can I stop this? I read the forum boards but either did not find it or overlooked the answer. I checked all my other settings and cannot find anything that would be causing this. Please advise?

You can check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that sets the browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once pref to true.

Yeah, I'm having the same exact problem - It seems that the thunderbolt minidisplay port is only able to output the analog VGA signal, not the digital signal to support DVI and HDMI. This is a bug that came up after installing 10.7.1. I bought my macbook air with 10.7 on it, upgraded it to 10.7.1 as soon as I got it, so I have never been able to use hdmi or dvi with my macbook air. This is an extremely frustrating problem for me, I used HDMI on a daily basis with my PC. I have spent many hours at the genius bar running diagnostic tests so Apple can get as much information as possible to create a fix for this problem. I have been emailing tech support for 3 or so weeks now, they keep saying that they are working on a fix and it should be out soon, but 10.7.2 has come and gone and I still have no HDMI functionality with my MacBook Air!

When using Lightroom then exporting to Aperture i always get 2 files? How can i Stop this?

If i Import my images to lightroom and edit, I like to display my images in Aperture but when i do the import to Aperture the image always appears twice, How do i stop this?
I generally safe as a Tiff file for my import.

Here's what I find strange (actually it's all a bit strange!), you say earlier that the import doesn't see these tiff files, yet import should see tiff files just fine:
And now you say you resave as tiff in PS and it fixes the problem.
The only conclusion I can draw is that there is something unusual about the way you are exporting the TIFF from Lightroom. TIFF is a container format that can contain multiple pages/images. I wonder if you have somehow told Lightroom to save 2 copies of the image into a single TIFF file, and then Aperture is showing you one version of the same file per image/page?

I am running Firefox 4 - when I open a new tab, my recent history shows - how can I get this to work in Firefox 6?

When opening a new tab, by clicking the + sign, in FF4, recent history and frequented web pages appear. I cannot get this to repeat in later versions of FF - 5 or 6. I like this feature - can I utilize it in FF6? I am running Vista Home Premium 6.06002 SP2 on a Gateway (emachines) T5246 Athlon 64 4200+ 2.2mHz dual core with 2 GB RAM.

The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

I am not able to open any PDF documents, what I just see is blank screen in new tab.

I am not able to open any PDF link in Firefox(I downloaded and installed latest version) but able to open easily in other browsers.

I have seen that same complaint a lot in this forum, and I don't know how to fix this. Download the PDF to your local disk, then open it from there.
Alternatively use a different browser like Firefox.

When I attempt to reset my password it does not set my password. I have attempted several times.

How do I reset my password when the web site does not appear to accept the new password that I have entered? I have repeated the reset a couple of times, but the system does not advance to the next window after I enter my password both times and then select Continue. There is no action on the window after I click Continue. What is next.

Hi Russell,
I just logged into my account to verify Login is working, I then logged out, went through the password change process, and successfully logged in with my new password.
Have you been able to log into the site previously? If so, how long ago? Also, how long ago was the account created?
If I have helped in any way, just click the Kudos star on the left. Also, if your issue has been resolved, don't forget to select Accept as Solution

When more tabs open only the new tab content gets desplayed. How can I solve this?

I am using a macbook pro and a imac. I updated both to Firefox 5 yesterday. The imac is fine but on the macbook pro firefox behaves strange after restart. If I have more than one tab open, I can not go back to a previous tab. The animation shows that the Tab was click and is active but it doesn't change the the web content and displays only the content of the newest tab.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

After updating to Yosemite some of my photos will open and then Ill get a black screen with an apostrophe. How can I fix this?

After updating my OS to Yosemite 10.10.1 some of my photos will not display. All of the previews will be there but when I click to open them they open up larger for a second and then the screen goes black and I get a grey apostrophe sign. I updated iPhoto to 9.6 (910.29) and also repaired my permissions. The problem still exists. Can anyone help me? I also have issues with iTunes but that's another story.

According to the link I provided it could still have its logging service running. Did you read the info in the link I provided? You can check it by launching Activity Monitor and under CPU search for cleanup.
Since the photos are in the library I don't see the need at this time to reinstall iPhoto. Maybe later. Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents the following folder: User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: For Mavericks and Yosemite, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

We have seen reports about a Community Toolbar extension causing this issue with not being able to open a new tab.

Some links like youtube open in new tab but never have before, how do I fix this?

All of a sudden, when I go to youtube or really anything. It opens it in a new tab when it never did before. It would only open in new tab when I told it to or when I clicked on a url. I really don't know a lot about this so if somebody could help me that would be great.

Did you check the settings?
*Tools > Options > Tabs: [X] "Open new windows in a new tab instead"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
