When link in email is clicked, firefox opens two windows.

I have XP Sp3 and firefox 9.0.1. I use outlook 2003 for email. "Open new windows in a new tab instead" is checked. When I click on a link in email, firefox opens two windows. The first opened shows the link and the second opened shows a blank "new tab". Clicking the link again causes the second window to open a second tab displaying the link. The first window stays the same.

That is this bug:

When I click a link in Mail (Mac OS) Firefox opens two windows. The frontmost window is always blank. The other window shows the page to which the link pointed. I would like to avoid having two windows open.

Links from Mail open two windows. One is empty.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== In the past couple of weeks. I had not noticed this behavior previously

Firefox opens two windows when I open the browser

When I open the browser it always opens two home page web pages
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I installed win 7 ultimate

I had the same problem.
Solved it by starting Thunderbird in a safe mode (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode), closed it and started normally...
Thunderbird showed 1 window afterward... I did play around before that with disabling/enabling extensions but at the end the safe mode helped... Hopefully this helps someone :)

Is a Windows registry error responsible for Firefox opening two browser windows whenever I use a hyperlink from a Word file?

Whenever I use a hyperlink from an MS Word document, Firefox opens two windows instead of one. The first window is the one I need. The second contains a message that the page could not be found and the address bar contains the URL appended with "Firefoxhtml/shell/open/command".
This problem is similar but NOT identical to one in MozillaZine headed "Windows error opening internet shortcut or local HTML file - Firefox". But none of the solutions in that article work for my problem: I've disabled all extensions but that hasn't helped. I've tried editing file types so that the DDE is removed (I'm not a teccie so have no idea what that means), but after following the instructions to the letter it doesn't seem to remove the DDE. Also I read that removing the DDE is not a good idea for people like me who need to open numerous firefox browser windows at one time. Furthermore, the MozzilaZine article refers only to problems opening a URL link in a MS Outlook email when Firefox is NOT running. My problem concerns the opening of URL links in MS Word when Firefox IS running!
I've run countless different virus programmes, rootkit checkers etc but they all come up blank. However, I did come across guidance on this website: http://antivirus.about.com/od/windowsbasics/a/shellopen.htm which suggests that something may have altered the shell open command for two registry keys used by Firefox.
# HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htafile\shell\open\command
# HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htfile\shell\open\command
The default value for each of these should be "%1" %*. But on my user, the default value reads:
(for htafile) c:\windows\system32\mshta.exe "%1"%*
(for htfile) c:\programfiles\windowsNT\hypertrm.exe"%1
What should the value be for these two files?
Can anyone sort this for me please? Bear in mind I'm not a teccie!

Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs. 
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database.

Clicking links in emails in Thunderbird, Firefox disappears from view

When clicking links in emails in Thunderbird Firefox disappears from view along with its task bar button. Firefox is still open and works, if you know what you are clicking on and prevents other still visible windows being worked with as the mouse only "sees" the Firefox window invisible to human eye!

The irony that you sent me an email to confirm my post...by clicking a link... is not lost on me.

Acrobat Form button that when clicked will open a Windows Folder?

Is there a way to have a button on an Adobe Acrobat Form that when clicked will open a Windows Folder located with a predefined UNC path? I'm looking for a scripting solution.
UNC example: \\myserver\myshares\engineering\changeorders
I'm using LiveCycle Designer ES v. 8.2.
Thanks for any help that you can give.

This is in Internet Explorer 6 (yes, horrible, I know), but we use a standardized image where I work, with pretty intense GPO's.
Don't know what happens if you right-click the link; but from any other machine (with the same image) the same link will open with all three options "Open", "Save", and "Cancel". These are not freshly imaged machines, so some setting must of been changed along the way to make this happen on this user's computer.
Repaired Acrobat, but this resolved nothing.
Also checked in IE to make sure that Adobe was enabled under the Programs tab.
Also, the option to view a pdf within the browser is not turned on.
Any other ideas?

I got problem on installing iTunes. When I clicked iTunes out, two windows popped out. One said the procedure entry point CFAttributed String Create Mutable could not be located in the dynamic link library Core Foundation.dll.

I got problem on installing iTunes. When I clicked iTunes out, two windows popped out. One said the procedure entry point CFAttributed String Create Mutable could not be located in the dynamic link library Core Foundation.dll. and one just said *Itunes was not installed correctly. Please re install I Tunes Error 7 (windows error 127) . I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it. But either way cant work. I really need some of your help! PLS HELP ME!

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The error shares a similar pattern to that in the third box, so a similar approach should work. Look for CoreFoundation.dll in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support, delete it, then repair Apple Application Support.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

When firefox starts its open two windows, how i make not to?

When firefox start its open two windows, there is nothing strange on shortcut proporties

You can try to reset Firefox with a new profile if you are currently using a Firefox 13.0.x version.
Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

You question is a little Confusing...
Do you mean you have created A NEW Apple ID...
If so...
It should be Noted that anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID
If not..
Settings > iTunes and App Store > Apple ID = Sign Out... Then Sign In using the preferred Apple ID.

Your computer appears to be infected by malware/virus. Try running several malware scanners. It is best to run several as each will pick up things that the others miss. Some scanners you can try are:
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php Malwarebytes]
* [http://www.superantispyware.com/ SUPERAntiSpyware]
* [http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php Ad-Aware]
* [http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/defender/default.mspx Windows Defender]
* [http://www.safer-networking.org/en/home/index.html Spybot S&D]
If the above malware scanners don't find it or can't clear it, post in one of these forums for specialized malware removal help:

Sometimes clicking on a workitem opens two windows

Hi,
some users of our Netweaver portal reports an issue with their universal worklist.
Sometimes, apparently randomly, clicking on a workitem opens two windows instead of just one.
Is there some known bugs related to some browser settings or something similar? (we use Internet Explorer 8)
Thank you,
Pietro

Hi Pietro,
I could not found on the SAP Known cases databese, a similar case lake that. However ther eis some tests you can do to try to isolate the issue:
1) Ask the users to set their Ie8 to compatibility view.
2) Ask the user to try to reproduce in other desktop, with this we could isolate the the issue seems to be on the browser configurarion.
3) Try to apply the following notes to guarantee the cynchronization of all user: #1086644 ,#1016283 and #710663
4) ALso its alway safer be on the latest patch of component UWLJWF.
Best Regards,
Fabio

Why does FF open two windows when I open it? Why can't I close the second window without closing FF altogether?

After FF automatically updated it started opening two windows whenever I start FF. One window has the open tabs from my previous session and the other window has only the FF home page open in one tab, nothing else. I can't close either window without shutting FF down altogether. I have limited RAM (3GB), running Mac Lion, which eats up a lot of resources and now FF eats up the rest. It's a real pain in the ass.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js [3] files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).
