  • When I double-click the tab bar, FF4 just resizes the window but does not open a new tab

    When I double-click the Tab Bar, FF 4.0 just resizes the window but does not open a new tab. It happens when Menu Bar is disabled (not ticked).

    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).<br />
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]<br />
    <br />
    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.<br />
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")<br />

  • When I click on a .docx document Firefox thinks it is binary and saves but does not open with MS Word - but it knows .doc is MS Word and opens it automatically

    When I click on a .docx document Firefox thinks it is binary and saves it but does not open with MS Word. But it knows .doc is MS Word and opens it automatically (this is the behavior I would like with .docx docs.) In preferences -- applications - it is just says "content type" is "microsoft word document" but doesn't give a way to choose .docx specifically. Is there another way to do this?

    Hi ,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you could not edit documents with Office client application in SharePoint 2010.
    Let’s do a troubleshooting about this issue:
    1. Make sure that you have installed Office application on your machine.
    2. Which explorer did you use for your SharePoint. Please test it with IE 10 32-bit, compare the result.
    3. Please try to reset IE, compare the result.
    4. Add your SharePoint site into Trusted site on your IE options.
    5. Make sure all add-ons related to SharePoint are enable, special for SharePoint OpenDocument Class and SharePointOpenXMLDocuments.
    6. Since you used OWA for your SharePoint site, please try to disable OWA, then open documents with client application, compare the result.
    I hope this helps.
    Thanks,

  • When trying to open tif image from Windows explorer it does not open in PSE 11.

    Windows Explorer set to open image files with PSE11, but when I double click on image in WE it launches PSE11, but I then need to click on Open tab in PSE11 to get it into work window.  PSE10 did not have this problem

    Found the problem myself.  I had Browsed to Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 "shortcut" icon instead of "PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe" file.  Changed to .exe file and all good.

  • When right-clicking firefox in the task bar... v5 does NOT open a new tab, or open a new window when selected. Only crtl-N opens a new window iff Firefox is the active window.

    Today FF 5.0 was DL-d and installed (automatic update is/was active). Help->About-> shows version 5.0, and there were no problems with the install.
    I have ASUS G72 running W7 with the latest MS updates via auto-update.
    FF is pinned to the task bar.
    Previous version(s) allowed for opening new windows and tabs by right click of FF icon on task bar, and selecting "Mozilla FireFox" (which opened new window) , or selecting "Open New Window." Opening a new tab in the current session could be done by selecting "Open New Tab."
    These features do not operate in the latest version (5.0), or have I fumbled the ball (by not having something set right in this version.
    Thanks in advance for you help. Keep up the great work.

    If you have tabs on top and no menu then the tabs are in a "Windows" area so there is no space to right. If you put tabs back to the bottom you will have most of your old behavior but because of the changes to tabs on top most of the tab context menu stuff all of the context menu part was lost except the customize toolbar stuff, double-clicking on an empty spot was restored, and eventually during the FF 4 beta most of the tab extensions Firefox messed up eventually worked again except in the area to the right of the tabs.
    The Windows part of that double-click has to maximize or restore to normal,
    and you have to be able to drag the window by it;'s title bar.
    You can make Firefox 4.0.1 and '''Firefox 5.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)]

  • I have downloaded Firefox 8. It remains in dowloads and does not open.

    From downloads, it asks me to execute. I say yes and go through the instructions. It installs the program and registers it in downloads again without opening Firefox home page on the screen.
    It happens everytime.
    Thanks for your reply.

    Nothing to do with the program. Something is not right on your system, but since you haven't provided any proper technical information we can't even begin to guess.

  • Firefox is running in task manager, but browser does not open.

    this happened after most recent update v 27. gateway running win8, worked everyday before this update, does not work now.

    Sounds good.
    Since you know how to move bookmarks, you probably could move other relevant data if you wish (details on what is in the different file: [[Recovering important data from an old profile]]).
    If you discover problems with the new profile after shutting down and restarting Windows, there could be some external process running that is causing this problem (whether injecting an add-on or modifying a file).

  • BEx workbook does not open from portal when excel is already opened

    Hi all,
    When I go to the portal and open a BEx workbook from there while excel is already open, then the workbook does not open.
    When I close excel and then open the BEx workbook it all works fine.
    I do not get any error: just nothing happens.
    Any idea how to solve this?
    Versions:
    BI 3.5
    Excel 2003
    ADDITIONAL INFO
    I found this only happens when excel is open with a cell in edit mode. Whenc I then open BEx from the portal I get the error 'please install suitable version'.
    Let my know if you have any advice.

  • Double tapping Outlook 2010 Calendar appointment does not open it in Lenovo ThinkPad Helix with Windows 8 Enterprise

    I've found out a strange behaviour of Office Professional Plus 2010 (SP1) calendar appointments in Windows 8 Enterprise touch screen device (Lenovo ThinkPad Helix): if I try to open the appointment by douple tapping, it does not open, but in many cases
    the appointment is just moved forward for half an hour. With normal mouse douple clicking works fine. Office SP2 does not fix the issue. So maybe this is not an Office, but Windows problem?

    Hi,
    It’s really a weird behavior. It’s not possible to write on the calendar items in Outlook by double tapping. Did this behavior change all appointments time or just the one you tapped on? Please log on the OWA and check if the appointment time changed there.
    Meanwhile, please try the following troubleshooting steps:
    1. Start Outlook in safe mode and check if the issue persists. (Press
    Windows key + R, type “outlook.exe /safe” in the
    Run box, press Enter)
    If the issue would be gone in safe mode, please go to File > Options > Add-ins and disable the suspicious add-in to resolve the issue.
    2. Try reset your calendar current view and check the result.
    Also try to change to another view (such as List view) and double tapping the appointment to check the result.
    3. Do you have any other calendars? If so, please check this issue in other calendars.
    Thanks,

    Help, what is happening,does anybody know/can help.

    Same is happening to me, most internet related applications won't start.
    As far as I understand, this is related to the WebKit, which has been obviously changed in the latest Software update.
    Having said that, I would also appreciate if anybody could give some help on how to restore a working WebKit.

  • Extended CS6 trial Bug ends..and now CS6 does not open

    Another brilliant move by adobe. First they suggest they inadvertently included a bug that required one to manually decline the extended version every time CS6 is open;now the "trial" ends and CS6 does not open. Is this what we expect from adobe? Maybe so, I guess.

    There actually is a way to update Photoshop without running it.
    You might visit the following pages, for example:
    Edit:  Hopefully these links are fixed now.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?platform=Windows&product=39
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?platform=Macintosh&product=39
    Of course, these links don't help Creative Cloud users at all.  I guess they're expected to use the Application Manager.

  • Interface Builder does not open when I click Mainwindow.xib file on Monotouch.

    I did a lot research about it, What the most of view say it is because of the iOS SDK, not because of the MonoTouch, they say that iOS SDK provides the Interface Builder? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. iOS SDK Version 4.3.

    Does Monotouch work within Xcode? I'm not sure what it is. If so then Interface Builder does not open a separate window in Xcode 4. When you first go to your .xib, you must select your "Window" to see the window. Otherwise you get an empty grid. Here's an image with the "Window" selected. I have it set for Mac applications not iOS but what you have should look similar.

  • Why won't Firefox open my e-mail page, after clicking the tab, from a Comcast preview page?

    I have Comcast.net. From my home page, when I click the email button, first, I must sign-in and then a preview page appears with a short list of emails. When I click the tab to open the entire email page, the entire page does not open as it should. When I click each email on the preview page, each email will not open, as it should, either. This all worked, previously, but stopped working about 3 days ago.
