  • Why does a new tab open when I click a page on google?

    When I click on a page in Google after searching it up through there, a new tab opens with the page and the Google tab remains. This does not happen on the Mozilla start page.

    hello, this might be a preference in your google search settings. go to google.com/preferences and disable the option to ''Open search results in a new browser window''.

  • Why does a 2nd Firefox open when I click on a pinned tab?

    90% of the time, when I click on one of the 10 pinned tabs to open it, a 2nd Firefox window opens up with the tab I clicked on, thus removing it from the original Firefox page (now only 9 pinned tabs). In other words, I have to minimize the 2nd window with the one tab and move it back to the original Firefox page (which then closes out the 2nd window). This is VERY VERY annoying~!

    Make sure that you do not drag a tab slightly down in the browser window while clicking.
    Current Firefox versions have a feature called tear-off tabs.<br />
    You can detach a tab from the current window and open it in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window.<br />
    You can drag that tab back to the tab bar in the original window to undo that detaching.

  • Why does Adobe Reader do not print in English on my computer ?

    I go a e-mail from honeywell company with an attachment.  Why does Adobe Reader transform the e-mail from English to some other languge?

    Hi Margaret,
    I'd like to help! Would you mind sharing a bit more detail? What language does it appear to be? Has this happened with other PDF's? When you installed it - did you select English as the language?
    Looking forward to your response.

  • Why does Adobe Reader use the scroll wheel to zoom in/out now, rather than actually scroll?

    Why does Adobe Reader use the scroll wheel to zoom in/out rather than actually, um, scroll? I can't find anywhere to change this function in Preferences, either.

    I had the same problem on my Windows 8 touch screen laptop.  It was driving me crazy! Every time I tried to scroll a page down, the program would zoom the page!  Made reading an ebook difficult.
    I finally found the solution:
    Under Edit select Preferences - General
    Uncheck "Make Hand Tool Use mouse-wheel zooming".

  • Why does i photo not launch when i click on icon in dock?

      Help why does i photo not launch when i click on icon in dock?

    The icons in the Dock are aliases. If iPhoto isn't launching from the dock the alias may be broken. What you can do is first test to if iPhoto is working by launching the app from the Applications folder. Once you have determined iPhoto is OK then remove the old Dock icon by holding it down and dragging it to the desktop, it will disappear in a puff of smoke. Then go to the Applications folder and drag the iPhoto icon to the Dock and test it.

    Why does my mini ipad reset when I click the camera icon?

    Try doing a manual reset:
    Hold both the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.

  • Why Does Adobe Reader download button  launch windows Media Player?

    I want to download an owners manual for my dishwasher. When I go to the mfg. site and locate the PDF file and click it to 'run' or 'save' (to desktop), Windows Media Player  launches. What's going on?? Please respond soon and thanks. Steve   Win 7, IE 10, Reader 11

    That sounds like your file association for .pdf files is hosed; you need to assign it to Adobe Reader instead of Media Player: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/change-default-programs#1TC=windows-7

  • Why does adobe reader keep trying to open my XPI files?

    Recently when trying to download a .xpi file I accidentally clicked on adobe reader instead of the program I wanted to use to open it, and now it repeatedly tries to use adobe reader to open it no matter what I do, I've looked everywhere and I can't change this. Could you please inform me on how to change what I use to open a file?

    You can install such an locally saved extension in Firefox by dragging the file in a Firefox tab or use "Firefox/File > Open File" to install the extension.
    There is usually no need to open an xpi file directly.

Hope you can figure it out, I sure can't!

  • Why doesn't the browser open when I click on a link?

    I have Mozilla, Internet Explorer and Safari & none of them open when I click on a link to a website thru the "mail" account? Why? I even open the browser ahead of time and they do not go to the site. And it doesn't matter what link I have, NO LINKS Activate These Browsers. Is there something that is deactivated? Plmk and thanks!

    In the General section of Safari's preferences, select the web browser you want to use to open the links. If this setting has been changed to no application or one which can't handle web links, such as Calculator, the link won't open when you click on it.

  • DVD DOES NOT PLAY - WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER OR VLC PLAYER

    I have Windows 8 64-bit OS with latest updates. I tried to play a Zumba fitness DVD, however, it does not play in Windows Media Player or VLC player. I receive an error, Unknown Disk. Other DVDs do play.
    I tried to play the DVD in Linux (Videos) and I also received an error, however, I could easily resolve the problem here as it was determined that the disk is protected and I downloaded the fix for Linux.
    How do I resolve the problem in Windows?
    Kind regards.

    This is could be due to the DRM (Digital Rights Management). Let’s try these steps and check if it helps.
    Rename the DRM folder:
    Step 1:
    a. Start Windows Explorer. To do this, press Windows key + E from desktop. 
    b. Click on View and place a check mark on Hidden items. 
    Step 2:
    Locate the DRM folder on the computer. Typically, the DRM folder is located in the following location.
    a. C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\DRM (where C:\ is the system drive).
    b. If you are not able to rename the DRM folder because of Access Denied error, you will have to take permission of the folder.
    Refer to this section "Issue 2: I'm unable to access, edit, save, or delete files and folders" from this link to give proper permission to the folder.

  • Why does adobe Reader XI ask to download Flashplayer when trying to open an Portfolio.pdf document?

    Hello Everyone
    I have a user that created a portfolio in Adobe X Pro. When they send this out to user and they try to open it with the Adobe Reader XI or Reader X it asks them to download the lates Flashplayer.
    All our systems have the latest flashplayer install.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank You
    Dave

    I just have to add my 2 cents. While I'm sure this change in program has some benefit for Adobe, to me it's horrible for the end user and makes Adobe look bad. In my organization's case, we have about 400 systems, of which only about 40 have the Flash Player Plugin installed. Which means 90% of our systems do not currently have what's needed to open these documents. Now we will need to start rolling out both version of Flash Player. Not a huge deal with Kace, but it's still a potential point of failure and extra headache.
    While IE's usage stake has diminished greatly, they're still a big player. However, in IE you only get to the "plugin" version if you tell it you're looking for a different browser. The regular IE user says "I only use IE, so why would I want the plugin for a browser I didn't install?" If the plugin version is the "full" version, then maybe you should consider having one installer that includes both ActiveX and the plugin.
