When I click on a choice within a website, I get a blank screen titled "Search bookmarks and history". How do I fix this?
The problem arises for such sites as the TV Guide. Normally, when I click on a listed show, a box appears telling me the details of that program. Not anymore.
Right click on the hyperlink and select “Open Link in New Tab," that will open a new tab and keep you from getting a blank page like most people get. I don't know why they changed this option. If you don't want to do that every time you can change it in the config.
1. In Firefox, type about:config into URL Location bar.
2.Click on I’ll be careful, I promise! button.
3.In the filter text box, enter the following text string with no quotations :
''''''browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent''''''
Alternatively, manually locate the preference name above.
4.The default boolean value for the browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent is “true”. Double click on the browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent to change its value to''' false'''.
5.Close the tab, and the change will take effect immediately.
Hope that helps some people..

When I click on "pics" on a particular website, I get a blank screen.
On the chatroom site gay.com, a list of chatters pops up, when you go to a particular room. If you click on a chatter's picture, it's supposed to bring up his profile. But with the "new" Firefox 4... when you click on a picture, a blank screen pops up. I'd like to go back to my earlier version of Firefox, if possible. This new version seems impossibly complicated.
I see that you ave changed some network.http prefs.<br />
Doing that can cause all kinds of problems because not all servers like such changes, so you can try to reset those prefs on the about:config page.<br />

On my home page, I have it up and I want to open a new tab. When I click to open a new tab, nothing happens. How can this be fixed?
Hello lsmalls787, '''try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

I recently tried to import a cd that I got into itunes. When it imported, instead of being one album by one artist, it created multiple ablums by the same artist. Does anyone know how to fix this problem to bring all the files into one album by the same artist?
Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

This has been happening for a while. I don't remember adding or changing any of my Firefox settings. When this happens and I need that extra window I go and use Explorer.

Example: when in my on line banking site I want to access older statements I press the prompt and a full blank page stating "search Bookmarks and History" pop up and I cannot access what I requested.
This happens on many sites, I do believe it may be something I accidentally changed.
How do I reset the program to correct this problem?
And if I just have to reload the program itself how do I insure my bookmarks will not be deleted?If links are JavaScript type of links (onclick or href="javascript:")then you have to left-click such a link.

This also happened at a bookseller's website, when I clicked on the photo of a book to enlarge it. Instead of showing me an enlargement, it took me to the same blank screen with the title bar, "Mozilla Firefox", and below it another bar with the words "Search Bookmarks and History," both at the top left of the screen. This has happened repeatedly at the two websites I have mentioned. When I went to the same sites using Internet Explorer, the error didn't occur. I did a Microsoft system restore for a previous restore point, but it still did not eliminate this glitch.
Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.

when I click on a link to complete a form, or a link to take a closer look at a picture, I get a blank screen and it says at the top 'search bookmarks and history', at the bottom it says 'stopped' - what is this problem and why is it happening ?

Sometimes, when I click a link on a web page, I see in the address bar the words: "Search bookmarks and history" (greyed out) just before I am taken to the link I clicked. A moment later, when I'm at the link, its address appears in the address bar, and all is normal. It seems that this happens only from some particular sites. Is FireFox reporting that my bookmarks and history are being searched?
Should I be worried? Is someone searching my personal data? Is this just a FireFox error msg when it has trouble finding the website I requested?That is OK. Firefox will only display the link in the location bar after the DNS look up has succeeded and a connection to the server has been established. Until that has been done you see the default setting for the location bar: Tools > Options > Privacy > Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest

I am trying to download a font I've purchased previously (in 2006), but when I click the Download link in My Orders, I get a message that I have no downloads. How do I download a font I've already paid for?
Ericsvaren please make sure the date range selected is sufficient to include the order for your font. I would also encourage you to make a local back up in case you need the font again in the future. You can find more information on how to download purchased software and fonts at Find a download link on Adobe.com.
