When I open a new firefox window, all other firefox windows which I started before and minimized, pop up behind the last window I started, and I have to minimize them again. How could I stop that?

I am running firefox 6.0.2 on windows XP Pro

The ASK.com Toolbar can cause other windows to get maximized.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • Hi all, when I open a New Tab pg all the images are blank - I've tried clicking on the blank images, & dragging a link from the Bookmarks, without success!

    I want to achieve at least one of two things: either set New Tabs to open with Google automatically; or at least, to have Google pinned to the New Tab page. (Google is my home page.) When a new page opens, all the images are blank. I've read through the Help pages & tried various things. I've tried dragging Google from the Bookmarks to the New Tab, but this only opens Google. I've tried clicking on the blank images, but nothing happens. I've toggled the blank images off for now, so at least I don't need to look at them. I am doing a university course online, so efficiency is really important to me! Those extra clicks really add up & distract!... Thanks in advance :)

    # Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''', to continue to the about:config page.
    # Type '''browser.newtab.url''', in the bar on the top of the page.
    # Double click the first result, '''a new window should appear'''.

  • I have trouble with the iPhoto 9.4.1, there is no picture book themes ? how can I resolve that ???

    How can I see themes for photo books ?

    The themes should be located in the HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder.  Did you purchase iPhoto 9.4.1 from the App Store?  If so try moving the iPhoto app to a folder in the Applicaitons folder and then re-download and install iPhoto 9.4.1.
    If that doesn't work download the iPhoto 9.4.1 updater from the link i provided and see if it will run.  Again, if not then use  Pacifist to install iPhoto 9.4.1 and the supporting files from the updater file.
    Be sure to have your current iPhoto 9.4.1 in the Applications folder as it is not.

  • Using firefox 4.0.1, IBM SVC console internal server, rows with I think form data, the last row is corrupted and overlays a prior row.

    IBM SVC console uses websphere. Screen data that is presented in table form last row appears to overwrite the prior row only. In other similar layouts, the last row is cut in half and cannot be seen. The prior version of Firefox 3 (something) did not have this problem. OS Windows XP Pro SP3
    Firefox V3.6.17 worked fine

    Seeing the same problem using the HMC with FF7 beta.

  • Emails delete automatically even before I open them. How do I stop that?

    Help

    Hello, Bluemoon4
    If you have an apple email account such as: @me, @iCloud, @mac... once you delete it off of one device it deletes it off of all of them,
    if you have a 3rd party email provider such as yahoo google live...etc just delete the account from your mail settings and reenter your information...
    Hope this helps

  • I'm stuck with uk iTunes Store and need to change to the Australian store so my cc billing details will be accepted.  How do I do that?

    Has anyone else had this problem? It's not intuitive and very frustrating.  I just need to be able to switch iTunes Store to Australia so their software will accept my post code as being real in the billing section.

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Looks like you are trying to change the country for iTunes Store. These articles explain how to and why you may not be able to change the store.

  • When I open a new tab I no longer get the search bar with all of my recent pages, how do I restore this back to the default?

    I was on demonoid and I accidentally installed some software that I didnt want to. Once this happened I noticed that on both of my browsers firefox and chrome that this search site named trovi.com has taken over as my homepage and over my new tab. I fixed the problem on chrome and I fixed the home page problem on Firefox, what I cant figure out is how to get rid of this bane when I open a new tab. All I have all of my useful sites pinned there and it is very annoying.
    I have been searching through all the options and cannot find a way to change this back to default without restoring the entire browser back to default. Which I really dont want to do. Thanks in advance
    THis is the problem
    "browser.newtab.url": "http://www.trovi.com/?gd=&ctid=CT3320418&octid=EB_ORIGINAL_CTID&ISID=M8DFF7074-5289-4613-BE92-D34E972485F9&SearchSource=69&CUI=&SSPV=&Lay=1&UM=6&UP=SP7898ACB3-917F-4B3E-99A5-29076F23E57D",

    hello, please install the search reset addon - it will revert the most common customizations those adware programs do in firefox back to the default: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/

    # Type "tab" in the search field at the top of the list

  • All minized firefox windows open when I open a new window

    I have several firefox windows open and minimized. When I try to open a new firefox window, all the minimized windows open and are displayed. I am running firefox 8. How can I correct this so that the minimized window remain minimized when I open a new window?
    Running Windows XP.

    That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly (possibly Ask.com toolbar).

  • Firefox is adding advertising links to certain words on my website cornish-surfing.co.uk, and when I open a new tab an additional window opens with unwanted sit

    Firefox is adding advertising links to certain words on my website cornish-surfing.co.uk, and when I open a new tab an additional window opens with unwanted sites.
    1. How can I stop these things from happening?
    2. Why is it happening?
    These things only happen when I’m using the Firefox browser. I use Sophos antivirus and firewall and the scans indicate my system is clean. So I’m assuming that it’s built into Firefox or there’s a security flaw with Firefox.
    Can you let me know which and how I can stop it from happening?
    Graham Jappé

    hello, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by adware on your pc (certainly nothing that is shipping with a plain official firefox build).
    please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

  • Since upgrading to FF v4, every time I open a "new window", all other instances of FF windows open, how can I keep this from happening?

    Since I started using FireFox version 4, every time I open a "new window", all other instances of FireFox windows open up. This is annoying as it often covers up instances I am currently using with instances that I don't wish to use right now. I can't seem to find a way to keep this behavior from occurring.

    Try go to '''about:config''' search for '''browser.startup.homepage''' change its value to:
    '''about:home''' - default page<br>
    '''about:blank''' - blank page<br>
    '''url''' - a page that you want
