Why am I unable to open multiple tabs in the browser? It all of a sudden refused to let me open more than one at a time.

While on the internet, I tried to open two tabs, but it won't open any more for me. I tried right clicking and opening that way, but it won't let me. I removed Mozilla Firefox from my computer and re-downloaded it, but it still won't let me open more than one tab. It's happened to two of my computers now, and nothing works for either one except opening in safe mode every time.

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]]
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")

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Why won't Garage band let you open more than one project a time..

Why won't Garageband let you open more than one project a time???? If thats the way its is set up...that is really lame. Even the worst audio programs allow you to run a few projects at a time.
I recorded a gig the other night... then I dumped the whole set on to one track. When I wanted to copy and paste individual songs into their own project it made me close the current project. Is there a way around this???
Joe

Heh, heh. Yes, this is true. Alas... BUT, if you want to compare one project with another, it can be done.
There is another advantage to making another copy of GarageBand. I created a copy and call it "GarageSymphony" that contains all my instrument specific icons for orchestral packs. This way I do not mess up the GarageBand application.
I would not be surprised to find multiple windows become available in GB4. I was more than pleased to find this change in iMovie 6.

Multiple AirPort Express units - use more than one at a time?

If I connect three Airport Express units in three different rooms, can I use more than one at a time?
Can I choose to only use 2 out of the 3 at one time?
Thanks.

Yes. With iTunes 6.0.2 or later, you can send an AirTunes stream to multiple remote AirPort Express units, provided that each AirPort Express has the latest AirPort firmware. The maximum number of remote AirPort Express units is three to six in typical conditions. The number that works for you will depend on your environmental conditions (such as building composition and local radio interference), distance to the remote AirPort Express units, and available network capacity relative to your other usage.

Acrobat does not opens a PDF in the Browser at all times

Required:
I need to ensure Acrobat opens a PDF in the Browser at all times, and not have Reader hijack the task. All fixes for this I have found won’t work as they render Reader inoperable. i.e. uninstalling Reader or denying users to the Reader executable AcroRd32.exe
Situation:
I have a problem with Adobe Reader and Acrobat Standard 8.2.5. This is on a Terminal Server 2003 with 10 users. They require both Acrobat and Reader be accessible due to specific 3rd party applications related to banking software.
Problem:
They must open PDFs in a browser with Acrobat so they may fill the forms and save them. Acrobat doesn’t consistently open the file; Reader hijacks the file when clicked to open and their ability to fill the forms is hindered.
- Open PDF in browser is checked in Acrobat
- Open PDF in browser is NOT checked in Reader
Sometimes when the Acrobat desktop icon is clicked, Reader opens instead. Having Acrobat open in the background does help but is not consistent.
Also uninstalling Reader from the Server is unacceptable due to a 3rd party banking application for loans. This application is hard coded to open AcroRd32.exe within the application for opening PDFs.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Ken

Try this, when I right clicked on the document to rotate the image a noticed a tool bar appeared at the bottom of the page with the save icon. It then disappeared, but by hovering at near the bottom of the document the tool bar appears and I can save the PDF.

I am unable to open multiple tabs within the Firefox browser. Are there any updates available to correct this?

I cannot open more than one tab in my firefox browser. This includes clicking in the + button for a new tab, using the ctrl+t shortcut and if I try to select 'new tab' from the File menu. However a new tab will open when i click a link within my current window.

There is a reported incompatibility between current versions of Firefox and the '''Ask Toolbar'''. Until Ask fixes the problem with their toolbar, unintall '''Ask Toolbar'''.

How can I actually open multiple tabs of the same site, instead of performing the new "switch to tab" action?

For example, sometimes I would like to open multiple tabs of Google Maps to get directions to multiple locations, and I haven't found a way to do so without open a new instance of the browser. Thanks.

This one colors tabs, but the author warns that it doesn't work with other tab-related extensions, so you probably need to keep searching for one that does everything you want:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/colorfultabs/
If you don't find a do-it-all extension, you can modify the tab titles with a userscript that is specific to that website. This is because the tab displays the text designated in the page as its title.
You either could "hard code" the list of words for each of the pages, or you could have a script extract information from the page, for example, the first main heading, or some other predictable bit of data. The script then would insert your preferred wording as the title of the page and Firefox will show that on the tab.
To see how that appears, so you know whether it would be useful, you could do this experiment:
On a web page that has useless tab text, open the Web Console using command+alt+k (Windows: Ctrl+Shift+k). In the line at the bottom next to the caret, paste the following code and press Enter:
document.title="Magic!";
If you decide you want a script written for this, you could try the request forum on userscripts''.''org:
[http://userscripts.org/forums/2 Ideas and script requests - Userscripts.org]
Although some people offer small payments, that usually isn't necessary to motivate people to help.
Let me give you a brief warning about that site, though: over the past year, a lot of popular scripts were duplicated and reposted with additional code that hijacks your Facebook account. Be cautious when installing scripts, check the reviews, make sure there are no references to Facebook.

Opening new tabs makes the browser window wider

when opening a new tab in safari
it makes the browser window bigger (at the bottom)
but not only at the bottom actually
after a few close-open's it also starts growing at the top
and for me it's unacceptable cause there are folders that i need fulltime access to (at the top)
is there a way (a script) to prevent safari "grow" and make the browser window bigger in a while ?
i don't really know why is it happening because if you press cmd+t it opens a new tab and the browser window kinda slides bigger at the bottom but then if you press cmd+w it does the opposite and the browser window stays the same size after those actions
i can't follow but after some time it starts to be bigger not only at the bottom
it grows til the dock and then starts growing at the top
is there a way to prevent that ?
i mean take opera for example. it always stays the same size and new opened tabs take the "inside space" if you know what i mean. the browser window doesn't get bigger. there is space allocated especially for tabs
i like safari but it is very important for me that it stays the same size all the time
i have all windows and folders situated exactly where i want them and if something moves and covers other items, it gets uncomfortable
thank you

(i have 'secrets' app installed and it makes pop up windows open in the same browser window, so it might be becasue of that)
Yes, it sounds like this is the cause.
Some pop-up window code forces the new window to be a certain size. Since it's intended to open in a new window, that normally wouldn't cause problems. But you're forcing the pop-up to open as a new tab in the current window, which causes the current window to be resized to that new page's defined size.

Why when I try to open a PDF file in Firefox 6 or earlier versions, why does it open multiple tabs, endlessly opening empty tabs in the browser?

I do not have any PDF addons installed. Have Adobe Reader (the program) open when it does this and when its not open. Please Help before I need to select a different browser

Rename (or delete) the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all file actions.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/mimeTypes.rdf
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions#Resetting_download_actions
You get tabs opening endlessly if you select the Firefox program to handle a file when you get an "Open with" dialog.
You should never select Firefox as the application to handle a file if you get the open with download dialog.

After updating firefox today to 6.0, firefox is unable to load multiple tabs at the same time. When I try, firefox refuses to load any pages, and instead is stuck trying to connect to each page.

After I updated firefox to 6.0 today firefox has developed a problem loading multiple tabs. When I try to load 10+ tabs, either at the same time or by opening each tab separately, each tab is stuck trying to connect to the desired page. This continues if I close all the tabs and try to load a single page, the single page is unable to get pass connecting. In order to load a new page when this situation arises I must close down firefox and start again, and the program has no history of the previous session.

When I am trying to open multiple tabs by clicking on File- New Tab, no additional tabs are opening i.e. I cannot open multiple tabs in my browser..Please help..

I am unable to use the multiple tabs option in my firefox browser. When I am clicking on File->New Tab no additional tabs are opening..

The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13 version. Evidently something in that extension isn't compatible with a Firefox security fix. Disable that extension or un-install it.

Ability to open multiple tabs stopped working.

I have always been able to open multiple tabs using Command-T - now all of a sudden when I use that shortcut, it just opens to the multi-tab screen instead of a new tab and no way to get back to the page I was on.

Hello:
Since I am a mouse person, I never used that shortcut. However, it works here
As an alternate, if you click on the + at the right of the Safari menu bar, a blank tab will open.
Barry
P.S. You could try deleting the preference file (com.apple.safari.plist) and restarting. However, if you do that, you will need to reenter your personal preferences.

Can you open multiple windows of the same Keynote presentation?

Like you can in PPT, where you can go Window > New Window, and see more than one slide at once of the same presentation in the large view. If there is any way to view more than one slide at time, in the large view, please let me know.
I know about Light Table, and that's useful but I really want to be able to open multiple instances of the same presentation like I could in ppt.

Thanks, I will. It seems like such an obvious thing, yet I could not find anyone referencing it anywhere. I thought I was the only one who used ppt (or now keynote) that way. Otherwise it is awesome, so much better than PPT.
