Why would firefox suddenly decide not to let me open more tabs?

Yesterday, my firefox was working fine. Today, I went to ope a new tab, and nothing happened. I tried going file>new tab, I tried ctrl+t, and I tried clicking the little box next to the already open tab. Nothing happened. Is there a way to fix 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]]
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")

So why would Firefox suddenly lose the ability to do tabbed browsing?

I have a new Samsung NF310 running Windows 7 Starter on which I installed Firefox, probably version 4.X, a week ago. All operated normally until today, when if I click on a new tab I get the little circle that says "We're working on it", but the new tab never opens, after as much as fifteen minutes. I closed and re-opened Firefox, and re-booted the computer to no effect. I then uninstalled Firefox and installed version 3.6, which is what is loaded now. Now a new tab lights up as long as the cursor is over the tab, but clicking on the tab has no effect. I've been loading various software, but otherwise cannot think of any changes in Firefox's environment here.

You might try connecting each computer to the working switch port just to be sure you don't have a problem with the computers. Then try a working computer on the other switch ports to be sure the switch is fully functional. Similarly, check out the modem/router with each computer. This will verify if all the hardware is functional.
If the hardware is all OK, then check your Network configs for all the computers and be sure they are properly configured. Then shut down the computers, switch, and cable modem. Wait at least one minute. Then turn on the cable modem/router and wait until the status lights indicate communication with the ISP. Then power up the switch. Last, power up the computers.

Why would firefox release version 29.0.1. It is terrible! I had to find a plugin to change the tabs back. Bad decision. Why was this done?

Why would firefox release version 29.0.1. It is terrible! I had to find a plugin to change the tabs back. Bad decision. Why was this done?
Not happy with version 29.0.1 - Are there any plans to roll this back?

On my Windows 8 machine Firefox 29 (puke) no longer remembers my "Customize" icon settings ~ every time I close down Firefox and restart they all have disappeared. POS.
Whomever approved this radical of a change on the user experience without a nary of warning should be TERMINATED. This will go down in software history's top ten "Hall-Of-Shame"!!!

Firefox is not letting me open another tab when I click the 'new tab' button. It says 'done' in the corner, but never opens a new tab.

Firefox is not letting me open another tab when I click the button or the 'new tab' in file. I have restarted my computer, installed an update, and I still have the same problem browsing.

In past threads, this problem has been linked with the Ask toolbar.

My ipad has suddenly decided not to connect to the internet. My WiFi signal is strong. My PC is connected ok through the same WiFi signal. I have tried pressing the home and off buttons to get the apple logo but this makes no difference

My ipad2 has suddenly decided not to connect to the internet either through Safari or email. My WiFi signal is strong and all other devices in my house are connecting ok. I have tried pressing the home and off buttons together to get the Apple Logo but this has not changed anything, still cannot connect. "Safari cannot open the page because your ipad is not connected to the internet"

I have done this and no difference
I have just realised what has caused the problem.
Yesterday I fitted an additional Homeplug with built in wireless N adapter ( I alreday have another type fitted from my main router position) The wireless system to my ipad is obviously "confused" . Having now removed the second homeplug and reset my ipad all is now ok

Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
Or if you are running 10.7 Lion, boot from the recovery partition (Command +R on boot) and use Disk Utility to repair your OS 10.7 partition.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
If it is, then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions. After repairing use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for restarting from your hard drive.
If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Why my firefox stopped loading when I want to open a new tab? this will continue if I do not move the mouse. this also happen when I download.

why my firefox stopped loading when I want to open a new tab? this will continue if I do not move the mouse. this is also happen when I download. if I does not move the mouse, the download process stops or stagnant ormanaged to download but not full

hey, just to keep you updated - there is now a fix available for firefox 25, which should address the particular problem of pages not loading unless the mouse is moved.
if you have downgraded to firefox 24 to work around the issue, please go to ''firefox > options > advanced > update'' and turn automatic updates back on. then go to ''firefox > help > about firefox'' which should trigger the update to firefox 25.0.1.
 in case you need to download the setup file for firefox 25.0.1 separately you can do so from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/channel/#firefox

Why would my older iPod not charge after sitting dormant for while?

Why would my iPod classic not charge after sitting dormant?

Be patient, leave it connected to a USB 2.0 port or wall charger, for at lease 2 hours.
It would normally takes about 30 minutes of charging, before the iPod Classic screen comes to life, if the battery has not gone bad.

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.

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]]
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")

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 does Firefox 31 change all PDF icons and opening in browser, require a fix using REGEDIT to fix for ALL USERS on a computer?

The solution to use REGEDIT in the question linked below almost fixed my trouble with PDF files on over 30 computers, with several users on each computer:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1013642
But I needed to fix it for ALL users on a computer, without logging onto each account, on each computer. My fix was to logon as administrator and change the following system-global key instead:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\.pdf
Name: Default
Type: Reg_SZ
Data: FirefoxHtm
Changed the data from FirefoxHtm to AcroExch.Document.11
I use Adobe Reader XI on Win7 Pro, 64-bit machines.
The problem started when I ran a downloaded file to install the new version of Firefox on the computers.
Why would Firefox require me to use REGEDIT in this manner to fix the problem?

This only happens when you set Firefox as the default browser and Firefox thinks that there is currently no application the handles PDF files.

Firefox won't let me open more than one window at a time. 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")

Why would a PCI card not work in a similar G4?

Why would an Audio Interface PCI card work in one Mac G4, but not in a newer, similar computer?
My Sonorus STUDI/O audio interface card has been working great in my G4 450 (AGP), through various MacOS versions, now in OS 9.2.2, using LOGIC Pro 6 recording software.
Putting the card in a Power Mac G4 Dual 1.25 Ghz (MDD Mirror Drive Door), the card is recognized by Apple System Profiler, but Logic abruptly quits without explanation as soon as it starts up and tries to acknowledge and integrate the card.
Throwing away Logic’s Preferences will let me successfully start up Logic, and choosing the basic MacAV as the audio engine will work just fine (so it’s not the application itself that’s broken). But if I specify the STUDI/O, as soon as I relaunch Logic to activate that choice, the program just quits without explanation again.
Same system (OS 9.2.2) as in the G4 450 (except that the Mirror Drive’s OS 9 was a slightly newer, machine-specific build).
No special drivers needed, as Logic supports the card directly.
I tried all available PCI slots, with no difference.
So why would a PCI card suddenly not work at all in a newer, but comparable Mac? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Peter
Additional bit: The STUDI/O card is not supported in OS X, and Sonorus has closed its doors. So there's no help forthcoming from that direction. But in OS 9, everything should be good to go. Could a somewhat newer, faster computer like the Dual 1.25 really have that much of a detrimental impact on a PCI card?

Tried using different domain name servers?
Flushing DNS cache?
Turning off proxy?
You would find similiar issues over on Safari, Snow Leopad forum, and post to the MacBook Pro area instead.
