Why doesn't firefox 3.6 open more than one time after creating new profile

Just upgraded to newest version of firefox and it will not open...
I have gone to "terminal" and created a new profile; firefox opens...but then if I quit out and try to reopen firefox, it does not open.

There's a few extensions that are causing a problem like that. See this:

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]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
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")

Firefox will not open more than one window and upon restarting will not open the previous tab and refuses to open bookmarks

Firefox does not open more than one window. I can open plenty of tabs, but not more than one window. Upon closing firefox and trying to restart the browser will not open and needs to be closed through windows task manager. Upon trying to re-open Firefox I receive the 'oops this is embarassing , firefox cannot re-open your tabs" message. When I click on "new session" the bookmarks do not load. It is becoming very frustrating as I am a student and often do lots of research on the web while using lots of open windows.

Multiple addons will not work, firefox will not open more than one window

Here's the problem: when certain addons (such as Morning Coffee, Fire.fm, Thumbstrips, Colourzilla, and others) are enabled on my firefox, it won't open more than one window. Additionally, some of these won't work at all (the first three listed). I know similar questions have been asked before, and the answer given was to disable the add-ons in question. However, I would love to actually be able to *use* them.
Anyone know how I might be able to fix things so that the addons work, and firefox isn't disabled in any way?

Every time Firefox opened

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.

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.

Cannot open more than one Firefox session

I am using Windows 7 on a PC. When I installed Firefox 3.6, I found that I could not open more than one session unless I deleted the process in Task Manager. When I reopened Firefox, it immediately said it had installed 6 plug-ins. It would then allow me to open a second Firefox session, but after this I could not open any more sessions. I do not have this problem with IE or Safari.
Why is it installing plug-ins without my asking for them?
Could the plug-in's be causing the problem of not allowing more than one session?
How can I have a clean Firefox program without plug-ins and one that will open any number of sessions like it used to be?

What happens when you right-click a link and use Open Link in New Window?

Firefox won't let me open more than one window at a time. how do i fix the problem

Firefox won't let me open more than one window at a time. It use to allow me to open multiple windows before but for no apparent reason it stopped. I uninstalled it and re-installed but I'm having the same problem. How do I fix the problem

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
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.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

After i downloaded Firefox 7, I cannot open more than one page at a time. I have done everything you suggested about ad-on, etc. Other people are having problems. Can I get reall help with this or should I just reload Firefox 4?

Firefox 7 is a dud. Cannot open more than one tab at a time, will not open additional pages. Nothing you suggested has worked.
Can I take down Firefox 7 and reload Firefox 4?
I need to talk with a live person! I am real disappointed with this.

Sorry there is no telephone support. You could try the IRC if you want a quick response, ( whilst it is [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/ask open] )
Firefox 4 is not supported, but firefox 3.6 is
* see [[installing a previous version of firefox]]
There is a change to a preference which may help, post back with more details of your problems please.

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.

Since upgrading, if I open more than one page, I can't type in the URL bar nor do any type of command in the extra page. I can only use Firefox if only one window is open.

If I open more than one Firefox page, the extra page(s) aren't responsive and all links/buttons are grayed out and unusueable.

Every time Firefox opened

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.

Photoshop can't open more than one graphic at a time without crashing

I get the error:
The instruction at "0x7c918af2" referenced memory at "0x00000010". The memory could not be "written".
Anytime I try to open more than one image in Photoshop at a time, regardless of how I do it - doesn't matter if I choose the image and "open in photoshop" or if I am in photoshop and go to "file/open".
It's Photoshop CS3. I have already uninstalled, restarted the computer and reinstalled. I tried to "repair/change" from Windows, but it asks for the CS3 cd and then CS4, which I don't have since I'm using CS3.
This is quite frustrating as it would be nice to be able to merge photos and the myriads of other things you can do with multiple images at once, if opening them does not crash your program.

Or, just intall by new printer but do not Delcare it as the Default printer, I guess in this instance there would be NO default printer?
You may not even have the problem!
Have you installed the new printer yet?
There are many more people who don't see it happen than those who do.
PS: there is always a default printer.

Can I open more than one instance of CC5.2?

In my experience, I have not been able to find a way to open more than one instance of CC5.2. If I want to run an SOD user analysis and an SOD role analysis, for example, I have to run one and wait for the results to return before I can run the next analysis.
If I open a new instance of Internet Explorer and type in the url for CC5.2 while CC5.2 is already running in a separate instance, it overwrites whatever is running and reopens CC5.2 all over again.
In CC4.0 I was able to open multiple SAP sessions and run multiple SOD reports. I understand 5.2 is a web app, but it seems the code should be smart enough to allow me to open multiple IE instances to run multiple analyses.
Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Sandy

Hi Sandy,
What about option to run your analysis jobs on the background ?
You can still be in your IE session, but schedule several analysis to run on the background. On completion of the jobs, you'll be able to check output results for each of them.
Advantage of this is that it also doesn't depend on your link between your machine and CC server which could be an issue for the foreground jobs.
Best regards,
Laziz

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.
