Why on opening a new window in Fire Fox 4.01 do 14 windows open?

I just had my first crash on Firefox 4.01, VERY surprised it has not happened before, this version IS pretty dire!
However, after this I was asked to re-start Fire Fox and it would try to open my open folders/tabs. And so it did do JUST that. Except as usual (Well not actually as usual as it normally only opens 9 windows!) it opened multiple windows in Fire Fox. Only this time it opened not one or two or the usual 9 windows but 14!! YES 14 windows to allow me to get the MAXIMUM browsing experience no doubt?
IT WORKS!! OK! It works! With 14 windows open I can do all I wish to......but then again I never have two open at once? In fact If do open open two windows I a unable to close the second example! Just another annoying little twist from yours truly the new and NOT working Fire Fox 4.01!! WHY did you fix it if it was not broken??

It is possible that there is a problem with the files [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

  • Why is there a NEW WINDOW icon but no NEW TAB icon on the Customize Toolbars function?

    In Firefox 4 I can customize the menu bar only with icons that are included in the customization routine. Included is a NEW WINDOW icon but no NEW TAB icon. Why?

    The + New Tab button on the tab bar should move to the right end side of the Tab bar if you open Customize. If the + button disappears then click the Restore Default Set in the customize window.

  • Why am I experiencing corrupt text in fire fox only?

    I am experiencing corrupt text in firefox only, I can refresh the page and it will correct to a degree, I can highlight text and it will correct also can move mouse pointer over links and it will correct, I only have this prob in firefox, IE works great, no prob inside the os either, this is very frustrating... Help!!!

    I greatly appreciate the tips listed here. I would like to add my experiences so far. I am suffering from this exact problem as well. Firefox 24 and 24b10 both have the problem, and only since I upgraded to Windows 8.1. A full uninstall and reinstall of Firefox and clean profile troubleshooting does not help. I have noticed something, however, I think. This issue seems to only occur with Sans Serif or Serif type? MAYBE Times New Roman as well. I am still working on figuring this one out, but the reason I mention this is that the issue is especially noticable when posting in forum boxes where the default font used in Sans Serif. Anyone else?
    J'apprécie beaucoup les conseils énumérés ici. Je voudrais ajouter mes expériences jusqu'ici. Je souffre de ce problème exact aussi. Firefox 24 et 24b10 ont tous deux le problème, et que depuis je suis passé à Windows 8.1. Un plein désinstaller et réinstaller de Firefox et profil propre dépannage n'aide pas. J'ai remarqué quelque chose, cependant, je pense. Ce problème semble se produire qu'avec Sans Serif ou le type Serif? PEUT-ÊTRE Times New Roman ainsi. Je travaille toujours sur de trouver celui-ci, mais la raison pour laquelle j'en parle, c'est que la question est d'autant plus perceptible lors de la publication dans des boîtes de forum où la police par défaut utilisée dans Sans Serif. Quelqu'un d'autre?

  • The new version of fire fox keeps crashing my entire computer if i pull down the scroll bar to fast and when using sites that use flash player my other browsers work fine its only started happening since it updated to 3.6.10

    Firefox keeps crashing my entire computer if i pull down the scroll bar too fast or go to websites that use flashplayer and sometimes for no reason at all. My other browsers work fine and firefox did till the update.

    There has been a security update of the Flash Player and the current version is 10.1 r85 , so you are two versions behind (previous was 10.1 r82).

  • Opening Dashboard Page in New Window While Passing Prompt Values

    Hi,
    Currently it is not possible to open a dashboard page in a new window AND have the prompt values from a prior page pass to this page. I see one or the other can be accomplished but not both. Is there a way this can be acheived somehow or is there a workaround for this?

    You are correct. The "Link or Image" object does not pass the dashboard prompt values, though it allows the destination dashboard to be opened up in a window.
    Here is a workaround.
    1) Place the link in a "Guided Nav. Link" object and set the destination dashboard and desired report. With the prompt set up correctly (i.e., dashboard scope, set to PV, destination report column filtered to receive the PV), the destination report will be filtered on the prompt as desired.
    2) I noticed (and maybe this is why you wish the "new window"), there is no "return" link on the destination report. To fix this, in the destination dashboard, add a Text object to the dashboard. In the properties, paste the code below and make sure to check off "Contains HTML markup." This will produce a "Return" button on the dashboard.
    <input type="button" value="Return" onclick="history.back();">
    Now, when the user selects the prompt and clicks on the link, the prompt is passed to your second dashboard. When the user wishes to return, he/she can click on the "Return" button and return to the primary dashboard.
    HTH,

  • In yahoo mail, I cannot use the instant message or SMS features after upgrading to the latest version of fire fox.

    I'm unable to use the Instant message or SMS features within my yahoo email account. I've tried re-installing a new version of fire fox- ( had to use internet explorer to get online , I am able to use all of yahoos features including email messenger in internet explorer but I prefer fire fox) - still re installing fire fox did not solve the problem.

    Hi,
    It has been solved in Firefox 10 which is due for release in the next few days. In the meantime you can also try Firefox 10 beta: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/channel/
    Please see [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=713014 this] for the details. Comment 7 has a workaround for Firefox 9 that is applicable to the SMS window as well. You may have to toggle between the two options.

  • I know this is in trouble shooting but don't understand how to reset in fire fox 4, can't save tabs for next session?

    Martin

    OK and when I run desktop manager then what do I do?  There are no instructions after this setup with my mobile carrier, they just leave me hanging.  Also, is my phone going to be wiped or will it just update the OS?  I don't want to lose all my settings that took me hours to setup on this thing and have to redo everything all over again.  Backup?  I don't understand how to do that either (again all of this is new to me).  I don't have a second phone where I can call T-Mobile on the phone and have them walk me through it, I only have my cell that's it.  They refuse to give me instructions unless I'm on another phone when I call them, why they won't let me write them down is beyond me...these carriers are getting mighty picky these days on customer service/technical support.

  • I currently also have AVG 9.0.920. Is Fire Fox 8 compatable with this

    I currently have AVG 9.0.920 installed on my desk top. If I download Fire Fox version 8, will it affect my AVG program. I seem to have seen something in the past where newer versions of Fire Fox affect certain aspects of my version of AVG and that I should update my AVG program. Are current & later versions of AVG compatible with Fire Fox 8

    '''No''', Firefox doesn't disable your anti-virus software. Firefox does disable the silly little add-ons that AVG ''(and other AV applications)'' install as Firefox add-ons, because those add-ons are out of date for the new version of Firefox.
    These AV vendors need to work on getting their Firefox add-ons to automatically update when Firefox is updated, just like the 10's of thousands of add-0ns hosted by Mozilla automatically update as part of the Firefox update procedure.
    See AVG support for details about what you need to do. Might be that a Live Update to get the update or maybe a patch needs to be installed.

  • If i click on a link fire fox will open a new window to google every 3 or 4 times i click on a link why is this happening

    if i go on snowest and click on the forums firefox will open a new window to google for no reason and it will just keep opening a new window after i close it and click on a sub forum and iv run 3 different virus programs and nothing has come up. whats going on ?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Hi Becky,
    I would recommend trying to start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] (link to article explaining how it works) - if it's something within Firefox (and it does sound that way), this should make it run normally until restarted.
    If Firefox works normally in Safe Mode, close it and start safe mode again, but on the starting dialog (again, see the article) select the "Disable all add-ons" option and click the "Make Changes and Restart" button.
    If Firefox still runs as it's supposed to, you can begin enabling the add-ons one by one, testing for each. This way you should be able to find the add-on that seems to cause the problem.
    Please let us know how above works out, and if we can be of further assistance. Detailed feedback is appreciated and helps us to help you better, plus enables us to better help more users with similar problems.

  • Captivate 5.5 published files are not visible in Fire Fox or open in new window.

    When I publish and post Captivate 5.5, the HTML or the swf files do not display in Fire Fox (latest version) without forcing the file to open in a new window (if it displays at all). If it does work, the Flash security blocks the swf on an ugly view until the user clicks.
    I thought it was because I have to assign a direct URL to each component, but all of the other Captivate sites I have reviewed have the same issue when viewing in Fire Fox.
    IE will display after the active x is authorized (I can live with that).
    You Tube and other Flash display properly in Fire Fox, just not Captivate products.
    I have disabled off all plugins, modified the protected settings, and everything I could find listed in the Fire Fox help. I have installed a previous version of Flash and Shockwave Player. Short of reinstalling windows, it is not working and that will not help because the published content is not visible on any other machine in the office or at home.
    The files are in a Portal, so I cannot share them unless you are in the DoD and have an AKO or DKO account.
    However, here is another example of the Captivate not working.
    https://clc.dau.mil/games (this displays on some computers, but not all)
    http://www.hartisd.net/pages/uploaded_files/Assignment_Search.mht (After allowing the mht, this displays in IE)
    I am not sure if it has something to do with the other 2 published xml files that are not directly referenced in the html, but I just need either the swf or html to display in the iframe without forcing another window to display and without a lot of dependecy issues with other add-ons in Fire Fox.
    - Thanks!

    Any of the DAU games, if they display. It is a government site, so they have the standard gov garbage (stuff not working like certificates), but nothing is harmful nor can they do anything to track other than the current session.
    It is kind of weird how the content is displayed... It is not an intranet, it goes to a limited access portal. When I store content, it uses an absolute path instead of relative path. Very aggrevating when using many of the tools for non-programmers (like me), and probably more aggrevating for programmers.
    Whether I point directly to the .swf or to the generated HTML, the content displays in IE, but not in FF.
    It may be a combination of FF and Captivate. FF seems rather flaky in dealing with swf files. There is the consideration for add-ons, but I tried on a newly imaged computer and it still was not working. Even after going through all of the FF steps to get it to work.
    Basically we had to create a new HTML file to display the content because the Captivate published files don't work. However, the new HTML does not reference the XML files.
    When I publish, I get 5 different files, .swf, .htm, .js, and 2 .xml. When I dig through the code (once again, not a programmer, soo I may be missing something), even round tripping to Flash, I do not see how the .xml files are referenced at all.
    These may be different topics, not sure, it came up because I am trying to get a simple solution from the product that can be easily transferred to our production servers and available for Solders to access.
    - Thanks
    Michael
