With multiple tabs open, crashing with no warning to close tabs and no crash report. Just bye-bye.

I have the option to warn me before closing multiple tabs selected. I left my desk for an hour with multiple windows open. When I returned, all but 1 window disappeared. I was typing on Facebook with multiple tabs open and instantly all tabs and windows disappeared without warning. No crash report either. I search for the keyboard shortcut to close a window (Alt+Spacebar+C). I tested with multiple tabs open, no warning - just instantly closed. I do not think I hit these keys by accident and I would like an option for a warning with one tab open or multiple tabs.

Ok I solved the problem if anyone is looking at this.
Add on "Hide Caption Title bar Plus" was the offender
Option - define option for close button. Was on recommended not default.
Choose default, problem eliminated!

  • With multiple tabs open, I use to click File, close tab---now close tab is missing and I exit out of Firefox completely. How do I get that choice back "close tab" in the "File" drop down? Thanks. George C.

    The drop down "FILE" in the tool bar use to have a choice to "CLOSE TAB". This is now missing so when I have multiple tabs open and I want to close the most recent, I cannot. I then get warned that I will be closing multiple numbers of tabs, but there is no other choice.
    How do I get the "CLOSE TAB" back in the drop down "FILE" in the tool bar

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • I have created a PDF form with multiple drop downs, all with the same drop down values. When I select a value from 1 of the drop down fields, it replicates in all of the others - which I do not want. How can I fix this?

    I have created a PDF form with multiple drop downs, all with the same drop down values. When I select a value from 1 of the drop down fields, it replicates in all of the others - which I do not want. Can I fix this?

    I'm fairly new to this, but I think it has to do with the way you have the drop downs named. Did you copy one then keep pasting it in each field? If so, that is the problem. You should rename each one with a different number: Dropdown1, Dropdown2, etc. I think that might solve the issue.

  • If FF is set to "Never Remember History" and I try to close it with multiple tabs open, it doesn't warn me first. If it remembers history, it warns me about closing multiple tabs. I want that warning AND Don't Remember History back again!

    At work I set my PC to not remember history for privacy reasons.
    I always have many tabs open, and the warning about closing multiple tabs was a good thing - but now it only works if it remembers history!
    I have the "Warn me when closing...." box checked AND all of the lines in about:config regarding these warnings are set to true. I have tried turning it off and back on, restarted the PC.
    I discovered this yesterday with FF 3.something, tried updating to FF4.

    The "Use custom settings for history" selection allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting this doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.
    Firefox shows "Use custom settings for history" as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.
    If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".
    "Never Remember History" means that Private Browsing is active and "Always use private browsing mode" gets a checkmark.
    You need to remove the checkmark on "Always use private browsing mode" to leave Private Browsing mode or chose the "Remember History" setting.

  • Is there a way to get firefox to warn me when exiting with multiple windows open?

    When I click File > Exit in the menu, I want firefox to warn me if I have multiple windows open.
    I don't want it to warn me about multiple tabs though.
    Is there a way to get it to do that?
    I would prefer to just hit the red X in the top right corner, which would avoid this problem, However, if it is the only firefox window I have open, then the red X will often not properly shut down firefox exe, so next time I try to launch firefox it won't work and I have to end task on firefox exe! I was told to use File Exit to improve the chances that firefox will properly close, but doing so introduces this new issue.
    thanks

    That doesn't work.
    Once I set it to true, if I have one window open with multiple tabs, and try to exit, it comes up with a warning box, which I don't want.
    Then if I check it to say 'don't show this again', the next time I run firefox the showQuitwarning setting has been set back to false. So then when I have multiple windows open and I file exit, all firefox shuts down with no warning.
    The reason I want this is because I can *see* the tabs of the window I am in when I am clicking on file|exit, so visually, I'm not going to close anything that I didn't mean to close because it's right there visible to me at the top of the screen (the tabs are seen at the top of the screen) in the same area as where I am looking at and clicking File Exit.
    But other firefox windows are not visible up there so it is easy to forget that they are open, since a lot of times I don't have any other windows open (if I *always* had other windows open then I would not forget them and be in more of a practice of checking the taskbar for them)
    And this is all because I can't hit the red X in the top right corner without increasing the odds of hung firefox processes that don't truly exit (thus making me unable to start another session later without Ending Task which isn't good).
    The hanging is daily but random and not reproducible, so it's very difficult to troubleshoot or fix.

  • How can one specify that multiple windows open (each with its own web page(s) ) when Firefox starts?

    I am on Firefox 15.0. I would prefer not to open multiple tabs to get multiple web sites up when Firefox is started. Instead, I prefer multiple windows. Some might have one tab, some might have several. For example, one window might have Gmail, another might have several different web pages related to weather, and another might simply have Google, and another Yahoo, and another, Orbitz. Since there may be five or six of these windows, with multiple web pages, perhaps 20 in toal, tabs get cluttered, and I don't prefer them anyway. I have plenty of memory and processing power.
    Interestingly enough, if Firefox crashes, it allows you to restart with the pages it thinks you would want. It would be great to have a Start Firefox option similar to that!

    You can reopen the windows and tabs from the previous session.
    You can also use command line switches with a bash script or a modified Firefox desktop shortcut ant use -new-window -url <URL> to open a page in a new window.
    <pre><nowiki><path to firefox>/firefox -new-window -url <URL1> -new-window -url <URL2>
    </nowiki></pre>

  • I am having two problems with tabs in FF 4.0.1: no close "x"; and new tabs don't open adjacent to active tab.

    <blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>
    Please continue here: [/questions/819008]</blockquote><br>
    I don't know if it's a glith with mine, a change in the software, or a setting that isn't set, but my tabs don't have an "x" to close them.
    Also, my previous version of Firefox opened a new tab adjacent to the active tab. Version 4.0.1 seems to have returned to the older standard of opening tabs at the end of the list. Is there a way to switch where new tabs open?

    You can reset the tab prefs on the about:config page in case they have been changed.
    * browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent
    * browser.tabs.closeButtons
    If you want a close X on the first tab if only one tab is open then set browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab to false.

  • Working with multiple applications open

    I was wondering if having multiple applications open has a negative effect on the speed of my RAM. Someone told me that it's actually a good thing to have more than one open at a time in OS X. Could that be true?
    I'm interested because I only have 256 MB and I use Photoshop CS (a real memory hog) a lot for manipulating big images. I'm also online pretty much all the time.
    Thank you.
    Allan

    Yeah, I think I see those beach balls in my sleep! Thanks Littleshoulders for the link. It's really helpful. I think I'll buy that ebook when I can. The other link on my previous post that led somewhere on this site helped a lot, too. The more I learn, the better.
    So I guess that's a fallacy that it's good to have many apps open at a time, especially Photoshop and the huge images I work with. You know, I'm sure I read that in a book about using OS X. I don't see how there would be a benefit to have multiple apps open.
    I think RAM will be my next purchase, followed, of course, by a newer, more powerful Mac.

    Also check your security software.
    You can use the Network tab (the one at the right in the menu) in the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer;Ctrl+Shift+K) to check the server response (left-click an entry) see if that is the problem (reload via Ctrl+F5 to bypass the cache).

    Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not  going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • Using Content Query webpart for specific Document library with multiple managed metadata - Document with multiple metadata tags not showing up

    Hi,
    I am having an issue where when I insert a Content Query webpart into a page, and filter to managed metadata, all the right documents show up except one document that happens to have two metadata tags attached to it.  The content query webpart is set
    to only look through a specific document library.  I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.
    Here is the one document with two metadata tags:
    Below is the Content Query:

    Hi,
    As I understand, you did not get the results with multiple metadata tags through Content Query web part in SharePoint 2013.
    Check things below:
    1. Check if you have set the item limit more than the display items in Presentation section of the web part. If the item number more than item limit, the rest items will not show.
    2. Check if the item you cannot find uses the content type you have set in the content type section of content query web part.
    When you edit the properties of the item, you will see the content type the item is using.

  • Firefox has been crashing when I try to close it and now won't open at all.

    For some time now, Firefox has been timing out when I tried to close it, making it necessary to "force quit." Now it won't open at all. Even more strangely, I'm not able to send a crash report to Apple (I get the message "submission failed").
    I've tried downloading the newest version, downloading plug-ins, and starting in "safe mode."
    Also strange, in my bookmarks section the little icons had disappeared lately.

    Sorry I do not use Mac s Unless someone provides a better answer I suggest you start with looking at
    * [[latest firefox issues]] (watch for any updates about new issues)
    * [[firefox crashes]] <br> That article provides general tips and suggestions, and explains how to obtain a crash ID, something that you can do even when firefox will not start
    You may need to investigate the possibility of a malware problem, but try to obtain a crash ID first, that may provide a clue to the problem.

  • My tabs no longer have an x to close them, and opening links stopped opening in new tabs.

    My question sums it up.
    The new tab opening stopped after the last upgrade to 7.01, and the tab closing changed occurred today, and has happened on and off previously. Operating on Windows 7 Home.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • My Google Toolbar does not open. Requires m e to close Firefoxn and restaret. Damn irritating. Need fix Pronto.

    I have Google Toolbar installed. However, it does not show all parts of the toolbar. I have to close Firefox and restart before the full Google toolbar shows. This is irritating at best. Have been tempted to switch. If I am unable to find a solution, I WILL Switch.

    First, let's confirm that your change is taking effect during the same session.
    After changing your home page setting, and before closing Firefox, if you open a new window (Ctrl+n) or click the Home button, do the 6 pages load?
    Second, let's confirm that your settings file is getting updated.
    Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
    Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
    Scroll down and look for a file named prefs.js (if the .js is not shown, Windows is set to hide file extensions; you can switch that off using the steps in this article: ).
    If you right-click prefs.js and choose Edit, it should open up in Notepad or a similar text editing application. If you search in the document for '''homepage''' can you confirm that the line which starts as follows now lists the correct URLs?
    user_pref("browser.startup.homepage", "''your pages...''
    If those check out, then some process that runs after you exit Firefox appears to be undoing your change. Here's a possibility:
    Some security software has a feature to protect you from unwanted browser changes. However, this also can prevent you from making changes you want to make. If you have Advanced SystemCare, or if any of your security/utility software has a feature with a name like Browser Protection, Home Page Protection, or Surfing Protection, try turning off that feature.

  • Acrobat 9 hangs with multiple documents open

    HP pro 6200 4 G RAM, Win7Pro, Acrobat 9(fully updated), single computer affected, multiple users, documents are from C drive, network, and USB
    I've run a repair install, removed the popups/lines and other markup notifications, held shift down when starting to not load add-ins, logged in as another user, updated video card drivers, sprinkled fairy dust, changed desktop resolution(set at 800x600 per user preference), opened same documents on another computer with no problems, and yet I still cannot find out what is causing Acrobat 9 to hang after multiple pages are opened.  Sometimes it will hang completely and I have to go into task manager and kill it, other times the page has a hard time painting as I scroll.  The memory usage doesn't go over 100k in task manager.  If we  close out of the documents with task manager and open them back up it is fine for a while, then it starts back up again.  This seems like a common issue but all the common fixes I found aren't working.  I was not able to find a "preferences" folder under his user folder to delete those settings.
    Anyone have any other ideas?
