When I open a new tab and type in a URL, a new window opens, rather than the link appearing in the tab. Also, when opening links embedded in pages, these always open in new windows rather than tabs. I want to use tabs!

I was cleaning my keyboard, I wonder if some button got pushed that altered the settings. But when I look at firefox's settings, nothing is obvious.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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.

  • When i open firefox, i get asked what program i want to use to open this file.

    when i open firefox, i get asked what program i want to use to open this file. i select firefox to open firefox, and it opens to - Index of file:///C:/Documents and Settings/HP_Administrator/- instead of my home page. this has been going on for months. today i updated my kaspersky intrnet security 2011 and since then fire fox will only open in firefox safe, even if i shut down kaspersky. IE opens with no problems.
    thanks

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    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 email, when I click on a "pdf" file, how do i get it to just open instead of being asked what program I want to use?

    When I get a "pdf" in an email and I click on the "pdf" button, I am always asked what program I want to use. How do I get the file to just open automatically?

    You can specify in Windows what program to use for a given extension, for instance Adobe Acrobat Reader, for files with PDF extension. How you can connect the program and the extension, is described in this article; [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Change-which-programs-Windows-uses-by-default "Change which programs Windows uses by default"]
    In Firefox PDF links get opened automatically with Acrobat reader. When clicking on PDF attachments in Thunderbird, however, you will need to associate the program and the extension as described in the above article.
    Hope it helps!

  • New install on MacBook but I want to use external hard drive for storage. How?

    Hi folks.
    I just bought and installed Lightroom on My MacBook, it has a tiny HD and I was hoping to use an External HD for storage of photos.
    Is there a trick to setting up the external HD for storage?
    Should I of put the catalogue on there rather than the Mac HD?
    thanks for any help.

    Yea I'm just going to wait for a solution I like better. The easiest way would be for apple to have some kind of itunes server software. Theres no reason that my computer running itunes shouldn't be able to communicate with with hard drive wirelessly just as it would with a usb cable. Kind of like wireless itunes synching with my iphone.
    I don't want to use Itunes match because music is not my concern. It is the 1,000 movies that I want to watch on apple tv without tying up my laptop.
    Thanks anyway

  • Every time I open Firefox and type in a URL, I get the message "Server not found. Firefox can't find the server at..." All I have to do is hit the "Try again" button and it finds it. However, this is getting tiresome. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    This is an ongoing issue.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

  • Adobe flash 10.1.85.3 freezes and takes Firefox3.6.12 running in Windows 7 with it needing task manager used to terminate the conatainer container process or firefox.exe to recover

    Almost every time I load any page containing a video and attempt to view it Firefox will crash and become totally unresponsive. It seems that the Adobe flash player add on is responsible but the crash protection feature does not function and the only way to recover is to terminate either the add on container process or Firefox using Task Manager
    Other add-on's installed are:
    Adobe Acrobat 9.4.0.195
    Google Earth 1.0.0.1
    Google Update 1.2.183.39
    Java toolkit 6.0.220.4
    Java Platform SE 6 U22 6.0.220.4
    Mozilla Default plug-in 1.0.0.15
    Open Office 3.2.9497.500
    VLC Multimedia 1.1.4.0
    Disabling all or any of these does not help.

    I find that in this exact configuration that Firefox simply crashes with that crash window. I have Disabled ALL extensions and plugins, Firefox works. Then I install ONLY Flash 10.1.85.3 and Firefox 3.6.12 crashes, running on Windows 7.

  • New iMac to replace older mini, want to use mini as a print server

    I am waiting for the delivery of a new iMac 2.9 GHz. I have a '11 vintage mini. I want to leave the mini connected to the router and printers but without a keyboard and monitor. The mini is set to share files and printers. The new iMac will be added to the wireless network along with the MacBook Pro. I think this setup will allow the mini to continue to be a node for the printers. Is there a problem keeping the mini on and not have a monitor or keyboard attached? I can always reattach a monitor and keyboard periodically if needed.

    Shouldn't be. Here is how to simulate a monitor if need be.

  • After my phone died, I am trying to update my 4S 64 gig data onto my new 5S 16 gig.  I want to use the backup but it is too large.  What can I do now?

    Is there a way to be selective with what I want backed up and what I don't?  Furthermore could I save what I don't want backed up onto my computer (e.g. pictures, notes, etc.)?

    No, there's nothing you can do except get an iPhone big enough to restore or setup as new then sync content back manually.

  • I purchased some Karaoke songs from Itunes store, but I need to know which type of disk to burn to so that I get the words also.  I tried burning on a CD-R but when put in Karaoke machine I only get the audio.  Can anyone help please?

    I purchases some karaoke songs from itunes store, but cannot get them to burn onto a cd with the words.  What must I do to be able use my purchase in a karaoke machine so I can see the wrds on screen as well as hear the audio?

    The tracks labeled "karaoke" in the iTunes Store are only instrumental backing tracks;  they are not actual karaoke tracks.  They do not have lyrics, and cannot be burned to the usual CD+G format that a karaoke machine will accept.
    If you want actual karaoke tracks,  go to a specialty online download store such as KaraokeDownloads.com. 

  • HT3819 I have bought many songs and they are on a laptop that is not working at the moment. I've not got any of these on the laptop I'm currently using. How do I get access to those songs I've purchased on I-Tunes?

    How do I access songs that I purchased on a laptopo that is not at the moment working to another authorised lap top that I am currently using?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer .  Use your backup copy to put everything on the new computer.
    If for some reason you ahve failed to backup, not, good, then:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
