While Opening a New Window all Tool Bars and Bookmark Bar Dissapearing

Dear Mozilla Team,
I loved the new Firefox 4 it is fast and more space for webpages and many other a lot of good stuff. Congrats and thank you for the hard work. However something weird happening every time I opened a second new window .
I will try to explain and be clear;
File --> New Window;
In the new window;
- The biggest problem is it seems like there are two Microsoft Windows window within each other. There are two minimize, fullscreen and close icons at the top right corner.
- Some of the google toolbar icons lost
- My boomarks toolbar lost
- My homepage is not loading and there is not attempt to load.
This is happening every time I try to open 2 new window.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions 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.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
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 Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

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 
'''about:blank''' - blank page 
'''url''' - a page that you want

Under Windows 7, 64-bit, Firefox intermittently will not open a new window - all I get is a grey screen, with a tiny part of my homepage displayed in the top left corner of the screen.

The problem began after a recent Firefox update. Occasionally, when I try to open a new Firefox window, all I get is a grey screen with a tiny section of my homepage visible in the top left corner of the screen. NOTE: Firefox stores all of these aborted attempts, as, whenever I close it and then re-open it, the first time I open a new window it automatically opens all of the windows that had originally failed to open.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== on or about June 26, 2010

Got the exact same problem aswell, finally fed up with it now as i just started up firefox and 14 new windows opened because of this bug, luckily my computer can handle them but someone with a slower processor it would have been a nightmare, needs fixing ASAP.
Reverting back to 3.6.3 until this issue is solved. (link for anyone wanting to do the same below)

Opening a new window from navigation bar?

I want one of my navigation bar links to open in a new window. There doesn't seem to be a place where i can specify the target="_blank" attribute so I've tried using javascript.
If I enter: "javascript:window.open('URL HERE', 'WINDOW NAME HERE', 'location=yes,toolbar=yes,menubar=yes,directories=yes,status=yes,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,height=undefined,width=undefined', false);" into the Icon Target field the new window opens but the parent window displays "[object]" instead of staying on the same page. And if I enter it in the OnClick Javascript field nothing happens.
How can I do this?
Thanks

Hi Chimpanzee,
try a "SQL injection" - it's no sql injection but the same principle.
Use the following trick in your URL Target
http://my_new_url/" target="_blankThat should do it

I set Google as my homepage and every time I open a new window all I get is a blank page, how can I rectify this?

I downloaded firefox 8.01 and as usual I set Google to be my homepage on opening. After doing so I still get a blank page and would like to know how I can rectify this.

i found the solution to my problem:
just click the extensions-button on top of the screen (in dutch it's "extra". Go to "add-ons" and uninstall the veedh-thing-plugin. problem solved :D

Reader opens a new window with same file and crashes when trying to print

the wierd thing is that I have two Dell systems printing to the same HP 4015 printer, though when the other one prints there is no problem, and when printing to another printer the same error occurs, any other documents are fine. we've tried the drivers but since the error happens with other printers I don't think its a issue with the drivers or the printers. I did a quick search and found similar issue, though none with any results, if I've posted in the wrong area please point me in the right direction. any assistance would be greatly appricated.
thanks.

if it will be of assistance to any one, the resolution to the issue came when the profile was deleted and then recreated. we came to this conculsion when we created a new user proifile and tried to re create the issue. while not technically a direct fix the issue was resolved. its a hell of a lot better than some of the other resolutions online.

I recently had to uninstall and reinstall firefox because I could not open it. Now all my websites and bookmarks are gone and I need to get them back. How?

I have lost all of my most visited websites, bookmarks, and all other data due to reinstalling firefox. I have some files in the Mozilla Firefox folder (C:\Program Files\(x86)\Mozilla Firefox) but none of them are able to be opened when I click Firefox>Bookmarks>Import and Backup>Backup. Is there any way to get all of my information back?

IOBit's software is worse than useless and shouldn't be used. Use Window's built in uninstaller for all install/uninstall processes
Firefox data is saved in your user files, which aren't saved via restore points, so if the information is not there (the article I linked to above would help you find it) then it looks like it was lost because iobit didn't give you an option to save your files. Unless you have a backup of your data somewhere.
You could try a file recovery system, but if you've made changse to your computer since uninstalling (like installing new software, restarting your machine even) it's most likely not going to work.

On opening a new window tab shows - "browser.startup.homepage=about:home"

When I open a new window all I see is this "browser.startup.homepage=about:home". And address bar says chrome://branding/locale/browserconfig.properties
What is happening and how do I fix this?

You can check for problems with preferences and rename or delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js and user.js files to reset all prefs to the default value.

OPEN IN NEW WINDOW is not working

when I chick on "OPEN IN NEW WINDOW" all I get is a blank page;
This was not a problem in MF3x

I was able to narrow down the add-ons Shareaholic and CoolIris Previews as the culprits in my case. If you have either of these, try disabling them. It solved my problem. My guess is not all add-on publishers have their stuff working in FF 4. In any case using the safe mode and disabling all add-ons, then going through them one-by-one goes a long way to fixing this issue...annoy though it may be.

Flash player opening in new window even for flash in websites

Ok, so ive searched the net and not found a single person with my problem, if its something easy ive missed im sorry. Flash player opens in a new window for every bit of flash. Like if I go to hulu and start to watch a movie it will not load in browser but open a new window on the desktop and begin playing. If I go to a website that has a flash based set up like the air forces website just the backround will load and the flash thats supposed to be on the page tries to load in a new window like hulu but since its not a movie it doesnt work. It does this for everything flash, meaning if I go to a flash heavy website I see only the html parts and end up with tons of blank flash windows in my task bar I cant bring up. Im running firefox but it does it for ie too so I dont think its a browser issue.

That resolved the issue. Thank you so much.

Open iView without address or tool bar in new window

Hello dear experts,
Today I got a specific problem where I kindly ask for your ideas / support !
Our Portal is 7.0 and SP19.
I got the following scenario:
1) Imagine you got several standard (URL or Application Integartion) iViews, each pointing at different URLs.
2) As you know there does exist the SAP Portal standard functionality for iViews to open them at a new window via the iView tray (context menu)
3) So if you put the iView into a portal page and let this page being displayed at the portal content area, you can access the option u201COpen in New Windowu201D at the tray.
4) Now I want to modify the function u201COpen in New Windowu201D in that way, that the new window is shown without the address bar and tool bar at all.
5) In common this can easily be made with the Javascript command:
javascript:window.open('http://this.iview.url', '_blank','resizable=yes, scrollbar=yes,
top=100, left=100, height=700,width=700, status=no, menubar=no, toolbar=no, location=no')
6) But to use this Javascript command I will need the specific URL u2013 or at least the STRING variable of it - of the iView which is embedded at the portal page at runtime (Something like this http://this.iview.url )
7) I made already some research and found the Layout-Tag Library
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/42/efe25b0d301aa2e10000000a422035/frameset.htm
8) Also I found the Blog very interesting:
EFP: Layout Tag Library
9) At these sources I found the Layout-Tag
<lyt:IViewExpand>Open in New Window</lyt:IViewExpand>
which is displaying the u201COpen in New Windowu201D functionality as link.
10) But as I described above I will need the link as a STRING-variable to put it into the Javascript command
11) And that is the point I am struggling at the moment. How do I get the link of the current iview is pointing to
e.g. http://this.iview.url
either as link or STRING variable.
Any idea or suggestion ? Many thanks in advance !!!
Best regards,
Stefan

Hello dear Prath and Srini,
many thanks for your input but unfortunaltly by problem is still unsolved
Let me explain a little mor in details:
The Scenario:
1) A got the Portal and i got a dedicated web server which is providing different web reports. These web reports are created by another department and they will provide us just the URL link to the reports.
2) Okay so i am integrating these reports via a generic applicqation integration iview, of course i could use also a standard URL ivew. But this would not be so smooth, because of the transport (the web report server has also a three stage landscape)
3) Now i want to give the users the feature "to hit once" at the iview tray just one button / link and the iview will open in a new window
Okay so far everything is complete SAP portal standard.BUT now here is the clue
The Problem:
4) For security reasons the "new window" should appear showing the iview, but without browers tool bar and address bar.
To do this i wil need the URL which i can hand over to the javascript command. But i want the the URL will be generated automatically, because of course there will be created mor and more iviews time after time.
The Solution:?
Any guess how to solve this "feature" ?
Best regards and many thanks,
Stefan

When I am NOT private browsing Firefox will not allow me to delete or change the website address in the location bar. My only remedy is to open a new window and search in google then click the link to that site through google. How can I resolve this?

Question
When I am NOT private browsing Firefox will not allow me to delete or change the website address in the location bar. My only remedy is to open a new window and search in google then click the link to that site through google. When I swap to private browsing firefox allows me to anter the website address directly into the location bar - but this is a slow [prcess to swap back and forth - also by dint of using private browsing I loose my website information.
