Why can't I manually bring up a new tab in Firefox 3.6.16? I have Windows 7 and didn't have the problem with other versions of Firefox.

My question says it all. I click on the new tab button and nothing opens. Clicking on links will open a new tab if needed, or using "Open in New Tab." seems to work okay.

Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

    The Adobe auto updater is pretty decent in CS6.  Just go to the Photoshop Help menu > Updates.
    You will be able to update ACR, Photoshop and Bridge right there, if there are in fact updates available.

  • Why can't I open links in a new tab with a right click anymore? And why has the toolbar removed the refresh button?

    Several basic functions seem to be have vanished from Firefox. I can no longer open links in new tabs with a right click, and the refresh browser button (and back/forward navigation buttons, etc) do not appear in with consistency anymore. How do I get these basic navigational tools back? (most recent updates are installed)

    * Make sure that you have the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" visible: "View > Toolbars"
    * If items are missing then see if you can find them in the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window
    * If you see the item in the Customize window then drag it back from the Customize window to one of the toolbars.
    * If, in "View > Toolbars > Customize", you do not see that item then click the "Restore Default Set" button

  • HT1338 How can I conserve battery life on my new macbook pro? I got it 2 weeks ago and am noticing that the battery depletes quickly. I dim the screen and keyboard backlight & mainly use Safari (multiple tabs).

    Appreciate any help!

         My daughter also just bought a Mac Book Pro 13" with the same issue. When we migrated over from the old computer, we brought over only her documents, no applications, and she was getting only about a 2 hour battery life on the new MBP.  Somewhere in the MBP threads in this forum someone who was experiencing this same battery life problem said he was told by an Apple Genius in a retail store to try setting up a second user, and then to try working out of that user only. So we set up the second user, logged out of the old user,  and the battery life readout is now about six hours after a charge when my daughter is logged in as the new user. If she needs old documents or other files she can always log in as the old user to use them, but she rarely has to go back. Whenever  she is logged on as the old user the battery life shows under two hours, but when she she logs out and logs back in as the new user it jumps back up to around six hours.
         There seems to be no need to eliminate the files etc. that reside under the old user. As long as my daughter is logged out as the old user and logged in as the new user, the battery life is much better. Weird solution, but it seems to be working. She is running Lion 10.7.4.
         Hope this helps.

  • Why are routine processes (mouse scrolling, viewing videos, appearance of typed text) filled with pauses? I've disabled or uninstalled most of my plug-ins, and don't encounter this problem with other browsers.

    My problem is unique to the Firefox browser, and does not occur with Opera or IE.
    Way too often (about once a minute or so), Firefox will suffer a brief pause in performing functions, even simple ones.
    It is impossible for me to watch any video in Firefox without the picture pausing periodically. Oftentimes, text I type suffers a delay before appearing in a web form. Mouse scrolling is not very dependable at all.
    I have disabled or uninstalled most of my plug-ins and add-ons, yet the problem still persists. I have attempted to streamline to only the most necessary plug-ins, but to no avail.
    I love Firefox, but I don't like the choppy videos or downgrading of my productivity these problems are causing.

  • Can't click on certain options like log-out, that are usually located at the top of a website. They are frozen, and firefox doesn't allow me to click on them. It works fine with other browsers.

    For example, if when I use hotmail, I cannot click on the options that appear in the upper portion of the page. Example, "menu" "help" "log-out". Same thing happens to facebook, so i can't see my notifications, or log out. When i try to click on them, nothing happens. I tried using facebook and hotmail with other browsers, and it works fine. I don't understand why i can't click on certain things with firefox. I haven't recently made any changes to firefox, and it is the lastest version. I also tried uninstalling, and installing again, but it didn't fix the problem.
    '''If I run firefox in safe mode, with all the add-ons turned of there are no problems. '''

    laderamacguy took a look at it and added a black shape over the tab. he suggested i use a different template next time, such as the black template.

  • TS3988 I can't sign in to my iMac iCloud acct. because it locked me out after several attempts to enter the password. Said to reset ID/password. I did, didn't fix the problem.

    My iMac, early 2008 24", operating system Yosemite; I tried to fix a communication problem between Apple devices on iCloud. I have iCloud and iCloud Drive. The problem is with iCloud. I attempted to enter my password but apparently too many times. I received the following message: You can’t sign in because your account was disabled for security reasons. It then directed me to iforgot.apple.com to change password/ID. I did, completed the process but it did not release the security lock out from the iCloud in my Preferences. I did this at least five times. Please identify a way to unlock the security system so I can now enter iCloud on my iMac.

    I have the same problem. This happens multiple times a day. I answer some questions and then unlock my account and then before long it all happens again. Extremely frustrating as I don't have a clue how to solve the problem.

  • Why can't i manually switch apps off?

    Work iPhone 4S on 7.0.2.
    It's laggy as ****. Why can't I manually switch off apps I don't use like maps, reminders & tomtom?
    On Android I can go into each app and switch them off when I don't want them in use. Why can't I do this on iOS?
    So far, I'm not liking Apple much.....

    I've got the same problem.
    It wasn't the case before the upgrade to v 9.2 (Iphoto 11) yesterday.
    The previous solution preferences - advanced - "select a store" (last option) doesn't solve it anymore.

  • Why can't I copy photos from my new Sony camera to my iphone4?

    Why can't I copy photos from my new Sony point and shoot to my iphone4? It works with photos from my old camera, just not with the new one. When I sync photos to my phone, they come out black. Help!

    It's possible they aren't in the right format. See this list to verify you have the correct format. I know some Sony cameras use the ARW interface (known as RAW).
    You may want to use a photo converter like photoshop, etc. to get photos into .jpeg or other file formats.

  • Why can't there be a simple utility that shows me which device connected to my Airport is using how much of the bandwidth in a simple graphical or stats format without requiring me to be a level 10 Black Belt or Chuck Norris' paternal tooth fairy?

    Why can't there be a simple utility that shows me which device connected to my Airport is using how much of the bandwidth in a simple graphical or stats format without requiring me to be a level 10 Black Belt or Chuck Norris' paternal tooth fairy?
    I need to see who is consuming the most bandwidth and limit that user/device. A very simple and dare I say it, legal, moral, and normal wish.

    They are not overloading the Airport. They are overwhelming the capacity of your Internet connection.
    No. It's not "shared equally". That's not how packet switched networks function.
    Most consumer grade routers do not have the ability to restrict bandwidth use on a per machine basis. You need relatively expensive (but readily available) equipment to do that.
    How many people are on the network? It can't be that hard to hunt them down.
