Why can I no longer open more than one tab in Firefox? Has Firefox been saboutaged by an update by Microsoft?

I have been using Firefox for over 2 years and like the (unreliable) Windows Explorer before it I took for granted the ability to open multiple tabs. 2 days ago my computer downloaded some updates (even though I try to stop it) and after the compulsary restart I cannot open more than one tab in Firefox, even though the browser apparently invites me to. Is this an attempt by Microsoft to saboutage Firefox to build up support for its own product?

Not Microsoft, it is the Ask toolbar. Try uninstalling the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and the current version of Firefox.

  • Can you open more than one tab?

    I have CS 5.5 running on Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. My Bridge is up to date (ver. 4.1.0.54). In the Content window I was wondering if you can open more than one tab?

    No you can't, A Bridge window is limited to a max of 3 colomns and you can view only one 1 panel of its kind. You can have multiple windows open and have them set to customized workspaces.
    If you want different folders showing in the content window you can create a workspace with a window sized half the screen.  Choose the amount of colomns and the width and height of the by placing the cursor on the borders until you see a move sign. drag until your happy, change the order or place of panels by dragging the tab to a new location (1 blue line appearing means a place in between, 4 blue lines means nesting in panel as a tab. Change te order of tabs with dragging. When you are happy save it as a workspace and open a second window and choose the same custom workspace for it.
    However I would choose to use the folder panel and drag and drop the files from content window to the wanted folder in the folder panel. But you can choose the way you want.

  • When I open more than one tab with ikls.ru web site - safari freeze immediately.

    I have a Lion OS and all updates. When I open more than one tab with ikls.ru web site - safari are freezing immediately.

    In safe mode the same problem in Safari. And I couldn't enable the guest account. You can see an attached pic. It's in Russian, but I think it's clear. I took a pic in a safe mode, but in normal mode it's the same.

  • Why can i no longer open more one page at a time

    I can no longer open more than on site at a time. One of the main things i like about fire fox is the ability to work with several windows open, which i do in my online marketing.
    Now if i click on another site it overrides the page i am on.
    I.E. When in my email account and i click on a url in a message it does not open a new window. Then , when i leave that page and go back to my email, i must log back in

    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.

  • Why can't I set up more than one ipod with the same e-mail account?

    Why can't I setup more than one ipod with the same e-mail account?

    Not really sure what you are doing that this doesn't work...I have an iPhone, iPad and iPod all using the same email account without any conflicts.  Can you explain a littl about what you are trying to do that isn't being allowed?

  • With version 4 why can't I go back more than one page at a time. Used to be able to jump back with older version.

    I don't want to refresh - I want to be able to jump back several pages - i.e..on one site - link took me to another site - done with that one - want to go back quickly to the original site..?

    The dropmarker (down-arrow) has been removed from the Back/Forward button in Firefox 4. You can do one of the following:
    *right-click the Back/Forward button to show the drop-down list of history/sites for the tab
    *while on the Back/Forward button, left-click and HOLD until the drop-down list appears
    *install this extension to add the drop-marker Back/Forward button: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker/

  • If I open more than one tab and then sign out of a password protected site in one tab, it will log me back in if both tabs are not closed and I return to the site. How do I change this?

    If I open a firefox browser and then I were to open another tab (e-mail for example) which is a password protected website, and then I sign out of my e-mail in the tab and close that tab, I can still access my e-mail without having to re-enter a password by going back to the e-mail website from the brower that is still open.
    ex. If I open google and am looking at something so I open another tab to go to hotmail. I then sign out of my hotmail and go back to the google site. If I then go to hotmail from the google site, even though I have signed out it will take me back into my e-mail unless I have closed all tabs upon signing out.
    Is there a way to make it so that if you sign out in one tab it completely signs you out?

    Make sure that Firefox closes properly to prevent session restore from restoring a crashed session.

    I have always been able to keep multiple tabs open while working, but by mistake yesterday when I closed firefox I forgot to save all tabs before quitting. Now I can't open multiple tabs....only one.

    This issue can be caused by the Ask<i></i>.com toolbar (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)

    Put all of your music on one computer and sync to that one.

  • 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.

  • Upgraded to iOS 6 and now I can't open anything in the kindle app? I have to say that I have had my ipad3 for 6 months and intensely dislike the problems with using it. Also is there any way of opening more than one screen as it is hopeless otherwise?

    I Have had my iPad for 6 months as I cannot access my work emails using windows. I have to say that it is the most unhelpful device I have ever used and although it looks like there isn't an answer for some of the questions I have asked below, I thought I would try!
    1) I have upgraded to ios6 and the kindle app will open but crashes and disappears when I try to access a book?
    2) is there any way I can open more than one page at a time, as opening one at a time is hopeless?
    3) Is there any way you can replicate the right click function on word? As pasting and copying on the iPad is irritating to say the least!
    4) why can't my Samsung 11 phone connect to my iPad via Bluetooth? A they can't seem to 'see' each other? I may have turned a setting off when I was recently abroad and didn't want huge roaming charges.
    5) Why do the submit buttons on some websites not work and how can I get them to? I never have a problem with windows, but it is often a problem with the iPad.
    6) I have several websites which I have built and usually upgrade on the windows desktop, usually through Internet explorer, but I can't access the sites properly on the iPad (I can see them but can't alter them) and when sending emails through the websites they won't show the page and I can't navigate the page (the size of the email page is bigger than the iPad screen, but I can't either shrink the page to size or move the page around as you normally would on the pad, any ideas?
    7) finally, when roaming abroad recently, I had no problems using the wifi, but when trying to use the cellular data (using the roaming function) I could not get it to work? The ipad seemed to be connected to the network with no problems, but wouldn't actually update the emails? I tried turning it on and off, but that didn't make a difference. My kindle and mobile phone (both also on 3G ) worked great, it was just (as usual) the ipad playing up.
    8) when wanting to alter part of a sentence, I can't always get the cursor in the right place? Sometimes it is simple the wrong line, but often it will only go at the end or start of a word and not where I want it. Is there any way of making it more exact? Again I never have a problem with moving the cursor on windows, either by mouse or on the touch screen function on windows 7. Any ideas? As after pressing the screen multiple times I just want to throw it out of the window!
    IT might just be that I don't have the correct settings (I am a technophobe) but I absolutely hate the iPad and only have it for work emails, it is so annoying that I can get my mobile phone and kindle3g to work fine, but always have problems with the iPad. I am sure it could be good (and for reading emails on the go in the uk it is great, as I like the key board) but it just seems to make everything else difficult.
    i Hope you can help and sorry for asking questions others have, but I am just hoping that something new might have been developed!
    thanks,
    K

    1) I have upgraded to ios6 and the kindle app will open but crashes and disappears when I try to access a book?
    Try rebooting your iPad, that should fix he issue. I that doesn't work, delete the app and re-download it.  The Kindle books should all be in he Kindle cloud services and you can get them again. I have an iPad2 w/ Kindle app and it works just fine - no issues.
    2) is there any way I can open more than one page at a time, as opening one at a time is hopeless?
    Page as in a kindle book way? turn iPad to landscape position from portrait position. If, however, you mean open more than one application at a time, then no. And not hopeless, as it takes a bit of time to get used to, going from a desktop/laptop format to tablet format.
    3) Is there any way you can replicate the right click function on word? As pasting and copying on the iPad is irritating to say the least!
    It's actually fairly easy. Press down on the word, then you can expand by drawing your finger to cover word/sentence/paragraph/page, hit select or select all then it gives you the option to cut, copy, paste, define. If you want to use a word processing app on the iPad, Pages is a good application.
    4) why can't my Samsung 11 phone connect to my iPad via Bluetooth? A they can't seem to 'see' each other? I may have turned a setting off when I was recently abroad and didn't want huge roaming charges.
    It's the connection on your phone. Samsung Galaxy SII? Android software?  What you have to do is go to the phone's settings and connect via wireless, not Bluetooth. Go to System Settings (on phone) and under Wireless and Networks click 'more' and go to the Tethering and Portable Hotspot option. Set up your mobile wifi hotspot,  name it though it will probably come up with 'AndroidAP', choose a WPA2 security level and put in a password. Go back to previous screen and turn on 'Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot' box. Then on your iPad in the Settings - Wi-Fi section, it should then recognize your phone for tethering. If it's a Windows Phone 7,  I don't know the layout of that software, but presumeably similar.
    5) Why do the submit buttons on some websites not work and how can I get them to? I never have a problem with windows, but it is often a problem with the iPad.
    Sometimes the issue is with the website design, not all websites are optimized for mobile devices - not just iPad but also Android devices. It happens. They're getting there, but occasionally the page might need a refresh.
    6) I have several websites which I have built and usually upgrade on the windows desktop, usually through Internet explorer, but I can't access the sites properly on the iPad (I can see them but can't alter them) and when sending emails through the websites they won't show the page and I can't navigate the page (the size of the email page is bigger than the iPad screen, but I can't either shrink the page to size or move the page around as you normally would on the pad, any ideas?
    It depends on what you use to build the websites on the computer. Recommend a free program on the computer called CoffeeCup Free HTML Editor. I don't recommend using IE period; Firefox or Chrome are my choices on Windows machines. I have two websites that I manage, both using this program. I'm assuming that when you mean you can't access the sites on the iPad you mean to update them? Ostensible there are apps to let you do this. What format are the sites? Without seeing what exactly you mean and what you want to do, it's hard to explain.
    As for seeing full page while emailing within a site, turn iPad to portrait mode, and try to finger-pinch touch the screen to see if that will bring the fuller page  into view. Other option is opening a second tab with same website and just go between tabs to reference material.
    7) finally, when roaming abroad recently, I had no problems using the wifi, but when trying to use the cellular data (using the roaming function) I could not get it to work? The ipad seemed to be connected to the network with no problems, but wouldn't actually update the emails? I tried turning it on and off, but that didn't make a difference. My kindle and mobile phone (both also on 3G ) worked great, it was just (as usual) the ipad playing up.
    If you were outside the US or Canada, my guess is the problem lies within the SIM card in your iPad. If you were outside North America, there are different band levels - I'm guessing you have a SIM thats locked to a particular provider. Band level frequencies differ per country/continent, so a SIM card that will work in Canada/US will not likely work in UK/Europe/Asia/Australia, etc. you will be able to get your emails again when back on a wifi network. Mobile phone may have a different type SIM card (GSM/HSPA) from your iPad SIM. Also, check your email settings.
    8) when wanting to alter part of a sentence, I can't always get the cursor in the right place? Sometimes it is simple the wrong line, but often it will only go at the end or start of a word and not where I want it. Is there any way of making it more exact? Again I never have a problem with moving the cursor on windows, either by mouse or on the touch screen function on windows 7. Any ideas? As after pressing the screen multiple times I just want to throw it out of the window!
    Moving the cursor on a sentence is a matter of putting your finger on the screen where you want it. It's exceptionally easy to do. I'm using the Notes app to write this whole segment and I just need to put my finger where I want to change things and presto it's ready for me to change where I want it.
    Here's a solution: sell your iPad (after you wipe your data off it) to someone who will appreciate it, and put your money towards the Windows Surface Tablet out later this year/early next year, where you can (reportedly) connect a mouse to it. It will have some of the Windows 7/8 functionality that you're more familiar with, or get a netbook.

  • Can't open more than one file at once (Indesign CS3)

    hi there
    I have to deal with a strange problem, every time (well actually randomly) I try to open more than one indesign file at once, indesign just stays in the background and I can't get it to show up.
    the only thing I can to is force quite the application and restart indesign. Sometimes I'm able to see one of the open documents but I can't do anything with it (as there are no tools and no other indesign windows).
    Im not the only one having this problem, my work mate just updated his osx from 10.4 to 10.5, and now he is having the same problems...
    any suggestions why that is?
    cheers
    (my system: mac 2x2.66ghz dual-core intel xeon, 1gb ram, osx 10.5.2, indesign cs3
    my work mates system: mac G5, 1gb ram, indesign cs3, osx 10.5.2)

    Every system has issues when its first released.
    What's the point of jumping to a new system on a production machine when everything works perfectly in the old system?
    Monitor these forums and other boards and as soon as Apple and Adobe have a fix jump to the new system.
