When I click on New Tab a new tab will not open, new window does open, how do I open new Tab? used to work

New Tab feature no longer works, only new window

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. 
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''.
Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
#At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]]. Click on it.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

As for holding your breath, it will take about 10 minutes before the connection to your yahoo mailbox engages.
Make it so!

My iTunes on the computer first would not sync my iPod. It would not restore my iPod. And now when I click on iTunes on my desktop it will not open up!!!! It I'll do NOTHING! Help!

Itunes on my computer won't open!!! I double click on it and there is no response . Help!

Try taking it to the nearest Apple Store. They should have computers there that they can use to get your iPhone out of recovery mode. Make an appointment first.

HT1414 On Ipad, I can open Sky/BBC news etc, but when I click on an article with video, it will not load. Any ideas

On my Ipad2 I can open Sky/BBCNews etc. but when I click on an article with video, it will not load. Any ideas
I also lost all content from my diary

If the video is in flash, then the iPad can't play it natively. You need to use different browser apps to access flash content. I see Puffin, iSwiffer recommended a lot.
You may also want to see if BBC has an app. things sometimes work better through an app than they do just through safari

When i try to go on to firefox it will not open, i click it and it shows its loading then thats it how do i get it to open?

the browser will not open it does not say its open in my task manager either but when i try to uninstall it says that i must close firefox first but its not open at all and it will not

This may be similar to a question I posted about [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/786890 recently] either my answer there; or someone else's, in due course may help. See also [[The program must close to allow a previous installation attempt to complete]]

I am running windows 7. We updated firefox and it would no longer open. I uninstalled it and reinstalled from firefox website. I click on the firefox icon and it will not open. Help please

It installs and I attempted to launch the browser and it never starts. I tried to uninstall, but it says firefox is running. I restart my computer and uninstall and try again. It still will not open after install is complete. Why won't it ever open up? Help please!

Right-click on your Windows Taskbar and select Start Task Manager. Look in Task Manager for processes running that are Firefox-related, such as Firefox.exe or plugin-container.exe. If you see either of those, right-click each of them and select "End process". Then try again to start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. 
*If Firefox will start in Safe Mode, select the option you are presented with to disable your add-ons and plug-ins and restart Firefox normally. You likely have a plug-in, add-on, or a combination of two or more that is causing the problem. Because Firefox allows users to customize endlessly, sometimes there can be conflicts between customized items. From the Firefox menu bar, go to Tools -> Add-ons then re-enable them one by one, restarting Firefox after each and testing after each one to see which one or combination of two or more is causing the problem. 
*If Firefox will not start in Safe Mode, make sure you again check Task Manager and end any running instances, then uninstall Firefox and download a fresh copy from mozilla.org/firefox using another browser temporarily. Re-install Firefox (see: [[Installing Firefox on Windows]] for more help ) and try running Firefox again.
Please report back your progress.

File open menu will not open local files using open command but the same files will open if I double click them (permissions seem fine)

Under File menu Open File will not open local files even those downloaded to the desktop by Firefox 5.
If I double click on HTML file it does open
Reinstalled. Same behaviour. Default Browser set correctly.
Permissions set correctly. Odd behaviour.

Are you sure it hasn't imported?
Check for the track names (trackname only, not Album or Artist)) and see if they have a blank Artist and Album, because WAV files have no MetaData, so are kind of stupid as far as knowing anything about the Artist, Album & track id.
You can't search by 'Untitled' either as there is literally, no name at all, but iTunes does pick up the actual physical track name in Finder and uses that. As an example, if you renamed your Aerosmith WAV file from say 'Toys In The Attic' to 'Love Song' it would import the track as 'Love Song' as that's all it can go by.
There are a few iTunes AppleScripts that let you import from a file of WAV music, by looking at the enclosing Album in the enclosing Artist as that's how most PC progs create the WAV file structure.

When I click on tools/add-ons, add-ons will not come up so it cannot be accessed.

I am trying to uninstall extensions that I think are causing problems with Firefox but I cannot get to add-ons. When I click on tools/add-0ns there is a brief flash and then nothing.

You can delete the files extensions.* (extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry. New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
If you see disabled extensions that are not compatible on the next start in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the "Find Updates" button to do a compatibility check.

When I compose an E-mail my address book will not open when I click on TO or CC, but it does work on other computers and also if I use explorer.

My address book will not show when I click on the TO or CC button, a mozilla page does open but there is no content. My E-mail accounts work fine on other computers. It also works fine on this computer if I use Explorer instead.

HT204406 I purchased an album from itunes, and put it in a playlist. icloud status lists all the songs as purchased, and when I click on "Update itunes Match", this playlist will not update. There is a cloud to the right of the playlist name.

I purchased an album from the itunes store, and put it in a playlist. icloud status listed all the songs as purchased, instead of the usual "Waiting". When I clicked on "Update itunes Match", everything updated except this playlist. There is a cloud to the right of the playlist name. This has never happened before.
Any ideas?

I deleted the songs from my desktop (iMac), then I used itunes match to reload the songs back on my desktop from my laptop. When they reappeared on my desktop, then I right-clicked on the songs and clicked on the option to add to icloud. This however did not work, and they just duplicated into icloud, but they were "greyed out" and unuseable. I hope I'm explaining myself clearly? In other words, the songs seem to be trying to go into the cloud, but they are greyed out in my library and cannot download. It is as if they are ghosts? My songs do play fine when I transfer them via itunes match, and everything appears normal. They just won't transfer via the cloud. As I said before, every other song in my library always work fine via the could, but only the songs off this one album that I bought from itunes in 07' will not work???

I click on the Mozilla icon and it will not load. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall but that doesn't work either

I have tried to open Firefox, but it just sits there and doesn't load. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall but that works for a few hours and then it goes back to not loading. I don't know what else to do to get it too load.

Installed new version of numbers, when I click on cell the formula edit box will not appear what change?

Installed iOS 8.1.2 and a new version of numbers this morning now when I attempt to edit a cell and change a formula the keyboard displays but the formula box does not display. What changed?

Caused by the Ask Toolbar extension in Firefox 3.6.13+, disable that extension or un-install it.

When I click certain links on certain pages they will not load.

I run across a website every few days that has links I am trying to click and they do nothing. I have to use a different browser to access them.
For example : www.retailmenot.com I click coupon links in there and nothing happens.

Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.

Why do email hyperlinks open a new ff browser, but will not open the link?

'''''''''XPSP3 & FF3.6 & Outlook2003''''''''' : When I click on a hyperlink in outlook, a fresh occurence of ff opens (even though ff is already open) but the link will not open. This used to work before I upgraded to ff4.0, so I rolled back to 3.6 and still have the same problem. All the file type suggestions have been executed, but still no success. Can anyone offer any help?

The '''SearchToolbar/1.2''' that messed with your UserAgent might be the cause of that problem. Try some troubleshooting.
Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

Firefox will not open Gmail, or load all the data on the google tab and will not load Outlook lite on a webpage correctly.

In the last couple of days when I start Firefox it will not properly load the Google home page I set up. It will not load the calendar or Date and Time. When I try to open gmail it will not open. I use Internet mail using outlook lite and it does not open properly formatted. All of these problems did not exist until two days ago. I have even gone back and did a system restore 8 days ago to see if that would correct the problem.
Thank you

For the settings to check to ensure that Firefox opens your email client, see [[changing the e-mail program used by Firefox]]. I don't know why it shows the wrong email address.
