Why, suddenly can't I create a new tab through the "file' drop down or by using the "add a tab" button.

The only way I can create a new tab right now is to right click on a link in the current tab and ask it to "open in new tab".

This problem in is Firefox on your Mac?
May users have discovered this problem is caused by Conduit add-ons, such as a Conduit plugin and/or a "Community Toolbar" extension.
You can check for and disable extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Command+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Does that help with the "+" button? If so, could you name the specific extension that caused the problem?
You might also check the Plugins section of the Add-ons page. You can use "Never Activate" to disable plugins that you don't ordinarily use.

    The new tab is visible on the the tab bar but clicking on it does not open a new tab.Neither can I open a new tab from the File drop down menu, nor the Ctrl+T method as indicated in the troubleshooting guide.

    in the tracing drop down menu, how come the custom is greyed out and can't be selected? It looks like its disabled!!

    cc2014,
    Have you selected an image?
    Unless a good explanation appears, you may start onthe list below.
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

    Check under File > Share

    No, you can't.  If the device is in Activation Lock, you MUST use the Apple ID that was used to enable the Activation Lock.

  • I cannot open more than 1 Tab per window. The "+" does not work as well as the item "New Tab" from the File drop-down menu. What shall I do ?

    I have just removed FireFox and reinstalled it again on my Mac Book PRO.
    When I open FIreFox I canNOT open more than 1 TAB.
    I click on the "+"on the top line of the window. It should open another TAB but id does NOT.
    I click on the File item in the top menu bar. A drop-down menu pops up. I click on "New Tab" and nothing happens.
    How can I get more than 1 Tab on the same window ?
    This feature works with Safari !
    Thank you so much.
    Best regards

    We have seen reports about a Community Toolbar extension causing this issue with not being able to open a new tab.
    So if you have such a toolbar then start with disabling it.

  • Can the file extension be removed when using the File Special Field?

    I placed a Special Field on the top of my topics that gives
    me the filename for that specific topic. I used the Insert >
    Field > Special Field > File and the File Name is inserted
    where I want it. The problem is that i don't want the file
    extension to show, just the name. I can't figure out how to do
    this...Any suggestions....anyone? Maybe a Script or an applet? Any
    input will be greatly appreciated...

    Thank you for your response. I did try something similar to
    what you suggested but the problem is that whatever I modify it
    automatically puts it back like it was as soon as I try to save it.
    This is probably because I used the Insert Special Field commands
    from the Menu. It automatically places this on the code:
    <!--kadov_tag{{<variable name=file
    x-format=default
    x-value=017.htm>}}-->017.htm<!--kadov_tag{{</variable>}}-->
    Where 017.htm is the actual name of the file for the specific
    topic. This means that it's apparently doing this on the background
    somewhere I can't see and inserting the value on the code for the
    topic...
    I hope that made sense! Again, I thank you in advance for any
    suggestions...

  • I can no longer create a new folder on my desktop

    Both my boyfriend and I have searched ad nauseum and cannot find out why I can no longer create a new folder on my desktop. When we try, we get an error message that says "the operation can't be completed because you don't have the necessary permission" (a Finder pop-up error message). I am the administrator and logged in as such. Anyone have any idea where in Settings, etc., that we can change this?  Thanks.

    Click on the Desktop and press command-I (Get Info).
    Expand the  General section of the Info window and be sure the Locked checkbox is unchecked.
    If this is OK, then look at the Sharing & Permissions section at the bottom. Tell us everything you see there, or post a screenshot.

  • My search bar is messed up after update. I want the old drop down menu back. I can't search for anything now. Firefox is absolutely useless to me now.

    Firefox software update appeared. I allowed it to be installed. It screwed up the search bar/box. I use to be able to click on the magnifying glass icon and ALL the search engine options would appear and I could easily chose one. It was easy. Now nothing. I cannot search anything through Firefox. Firefox is useless to me now, which means I have no computer. Do I have to go out and spend another $1000 to get a new computer? This is not right. You should not do this to a person. Not everybody is technically advanced as some of you are. Now I have no means of searching for anything using Firefox. I really liked Firefox. Now your software update messed me all up. So what am I supposed to do???????????????? IE is worthless. Not safe, not secure, can't trust it. Never works right. Can't even print out correctly. Firefox update should not have messed up my computer. I need to make searches and now I can't. I mean it, it really is not right. So, just for you so called brilliant Stanford types, when I click on the magnifying glass icon or the little, inverted triangle, there is nothing. The search bar is blank. Blank, blank, blank. No longer the quick drop down window with all the available search engine selections. Got it? That's why I've repeated myself. Have a real nice day!

    See this KB article to learn how the new Search Bar works - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/search-bar-add-change-manage-search-engines-firefox
    If you want the old Search Bar scheme back do this.
    Open up '''about:config''' ''(typed in the Location Bar)'' and toggle this preference to '''''false'''''
    '''browser.search.showOneOffButtons'''
    Then restart Firefox.

  • Why i can't not create new database in oracle 10g express

    why i can't not create new database in oracle 10g express?
    should i use oracle 11g standard edition?
    thanks

    In Oracle a schema is what a 'database' is in Sqlserver.
    And if you would have been aware about the limitations of XE, you would have known you can only create *1* (one) database using Oracle XE.
    However, probably you don't need a new database at all, and a schema will suffice.

    You are talking about the forward, back, mail and trash can icons in the Notes App - correct?
    I've gone through restarting it and followed the instructions from the person last week.
    Have you restarted the iPad - is that what you mean? Have you quit and then restarted the app? Quit the app, and restart the iPad. It's worth a try.
    Double tap the home button and your recent apps will appear at the bottom. Hold down on the Notes app icon until it begins to wiggle. Then tap the minus sign to quit the app. Then tap the screen. Now restart the iPad.
    Carolyn explained this above (restart) but here it is again....
    Hold down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and slide to shut off. Hold down on the sleep button until the Apple logos appears then let go of the button and the iPad will restart. See if that helps.
