Why are tabs I've pinned as apps still opening in regular tabs as well?

Tabs I've pinned as apps continue to open as regular tabs even though I closed them and reset my options in startup that when Firefox opens use current pages. This completely wastes the spacesaving benefit of this feature. Also, with the new version, I have lost the ability to drag URLs into my folders.

You would certainly get a duplicate if you have your home page as an app-tap and with When Firefox starts: Show my home page.
Any other problems might have to do with "Tab Mix Plus" or "NoScript" extensions.
I can drag tabs to folder in Firefox 5, so that problem must be an extension.
You can test quickly one shot without extension, using
* "Alt+H" (Help) > Restart with Add-ons Disabled...
When your problem is solved, you might find value in these two extensions for tabs.

When I try to open a new address in a new tab it takes 20-30 seconds (or more) to load and open.

On Windows 7, Firefox 4 failed to show tabs defined by "Pin As App Tab" in the previous browsing session

On Windows 7, I defined new tabs using the , Firefox 4.0 "Pin As App Tab" . It seems OK.
While restarting Firefox 4.0 again after closing it, the new tabs created by "Pin As App Tab" disappeared.

hey, just to keep you updated - there is now a fix available for firefox 25, which should address the particular problem of pages not loading unless the mouse is moved.
if you have downgraded to firefox 24 to work around the issue, please go to ''firefox > options > advanced > update'' and turn automatic updates back on. then go to ''firefox > help > about firefox'' which should trigger the update to firefox 25.0.1.
 in case you need to download the setup file for firefox 25.0.1 separately you can do so from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/channel/#firefox

Opening a new link in a tab (contr+click or right click and open in new tab) causes ff to lose scroll position in first tab or main website, like google.

Opening a new link in a tab (contr+click or right click and open in new tab) causes ff to lose scroll position in first tab or main window, like google.
This does not happen when opening in a new window (shift+click).
It was never a problem in older versions. I now have ff 3.6.17. I' afraid to install ff4 because everytime i do so (install e new version) something i liked dissapears or good add ons dont work anymore!
I also don't like the fact that more and more of the adress barr is beïng used for crap i don't need. I'm a visual handicap and need all the space i can, just to read.
Thanks for helping me out.

Clicking "Open a New Tab" button or "Ctrl+T" doesn't open a new tab any more. How do I get that functionality back?

Clicking "Open a New Tab" button or "Ctrl+T" doesn't open a new tab any more. How do I get that functionality back?
When I click, type or use the File menu or try right-clicking mouse to open a new tab, nothing happens. However I am able to open links in a new tab.

The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Evidently something in that extension isn't compatible with a Firefox security fix. Disable that extension or un-install it.
How do I "disable" or "un-install it"?

I cannot open a new tab - when I restart firefox (or my computer), ctrl T does not work, and the "+" tab next to the single tab on my browser window does NOT open a second tab

Firefox3.6.18, running on WinXP (all the Microsoft patches), opens with a single tab. Clicking the Add Tab "+" or pressing CTRL T does not open a new tab, although I can open a new window. Also, when exiting from Firefox, my tab location is not saved.

Please disable or uninstall the Ask toolbar extension to solve your problem. It has a known incompatibility with Firefox. See [[Uninstalling add-ons]].

Why does this spam site load every time I open a new tab?

Every time I open a new tab in Firefox, it loads this specific search engine. This has never been my Home Page, and my preferences are set to show a blank page when I open a new window or tab.
Why is this happening? What can I do to fix this?

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).

My Safari app wont open a new tab and crashes if I try, I've tried closing all apps and reopening. Its a new ipad air and only started doing this after I synched with itunes.

Hi,
I have a new iPad Air. Since I synched it with my itunes account - all my details have been uploaded which is great but Safari will only work with one page open. If I try to open a new Tab it crashes. I have tried turning it off and on again. I tried closing all my apps that were open - including Safari and opening it again. Not sure what else to try.

1. Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data
2. Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple Logo

Why are some of my folders always expanded when opening my external hard drive on my iMac?

Certain folders are always expanded when I plug in and open my external hard drive and its more of a pain than anything to scroll through them all. If i close them, next time I open the hard drive folder they are open again!

Try re-indexing the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.

Force Quit showing apps still open

I've noticed this on a few occasions. Currently, I'm showing iBooks, Pages, & Preview are still open via the Force Quit dialog but I haven't used them since the previous evening. (Screen shot of dialog and dock for comparison).
I have an older Macbook (Aluminum, Late 2008) so I try to run as lean as possible. There are no extra windows open that I can find. Double clicking them from Force Quit brings them up to then quit from the application proper, however, I would really like the apps to quit when I tell them to.
Has this to do with iCloud integration? (Like Pages wasn't quite done with an iCloud upload before I quit).
Is it a random hang?
Should I try a reinstall of the apps or Mavericks? (I'm not even sure if 'still open app' is consistent).
Thanks in advance.

I've noticed this same problem, but with TextEdit and Preview. The dock will say all my apps are closed, but when I check in Force Quit, some of them are still open. Only noticed by accident once when I needed to Force Quit something else and was surprised by what was also listed in there as open.
As far as I can tell there are no negative effects of this happening . . . it's just annoying . . . which means Apple won't be fixing it anytime real soon.
I'm about to upgrade to Yosemite . . . wonder if it also happens there.
BTW, I've only seen it happen with Apple Apps . . . none of my other apps have shown up as "quit, but still open".
I'm on a Mac Mini running 10.9.5

How do I get FF to focus on a new tab? I right-click and choose "Open in New Tab" and the Tab appears in the Tab bar but I cannot access or see the new page.

I open FF ver.10. My Home page is Google Search. I use a Bookmark and open, say, Hulu.com. I select a link by right-clicking and choose "Open in New Tab" The little tab in the tab bar opens but I am still viewing the Hulu.com main page and cannot view the new tab.
This happens even if I use middle-click to open a new tab. It happens with all links on any website I visit.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] 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).

How can I access the Tabs page in the current window, without opening a new tab?

I like the new Tabs page. I'd like to open it in the current window, without the need of opening a new tab or window.
Is this possible?

You can make a bookmark and set the location to about:newtab to open that page in the current tab.

I am no longer able to open multiple tabs. Tabs get deleted whenever I click on open a new tab button, so I lose the page I was on.

I had to do a system restore due to issues with a system update causing my computer to freeze and slow down. Once that was done, my laptop worked brilliantly, but Firefox no longer allows me to open new tabs. I can only browse one tab at a time, and if I try to open a new tab my previous tab gets deleted and replaced by the blank tab. This isn't an issue for IE, just Firefox.

I notice you turned off the setting that diverts new windows to a new tab. Since the new window will open in front of your current tab, it may appear that the current tab was closed, when in fact it is behind the new window. This hard to explain in words.
Do you want to switch the setting?
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Tabs
Check the box for "Open new windows in a new tab instead"
Does that help?

Why are tabs I've pinned as apps still opening in regular tabs as well?
