With the new update: I click on .pdf to download and multiple new tabs open w/o downloading .pdf file

Every time I click to download a .pdf file for a study on the following site
http://www.regionschristiancenter.org/the-rabbis-son/rabbis-son-study-archives/archives-dvarim-deuteronomy/
Firefox opens multiple new tabs and does not stop doing so until I close the browser and even then it opens up on its own and continues to open multiple new tabs. If I do not get to it quickly enough, I may have to do this more than twice.
I have tried downloading a study on Internet Explorer and do not have this issue. There is also a Microsoft Word option that works on Firefox but it's the .pdf that is the problem.
I have not attempted to download any other .pdf files from other sites so I do not know if it is a problem with all .pdf files. But as stated above, it is not an issue with .pdf on IE.

Could you check your PDF viewer preference and try changing it to a different viewer to see whether that helps? This article describes how to access that setting: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]].
Unfortunately, the settings file that stores those application handling preferences sometimes contains crossed up settings or settings which Firefox cannot actually implement. In that case, you generally need to rename or remove that file and let Firefox rebuild it. The steps for that are in this article: [[Firefox repeatedly opens empty tabs or windows after you click on a link]] -- skip to the section "Reset actions for all content types".

How do I disable the "New Tab opened" button that appears for 3secs when I open a new tab?

Dear Helpful Open Source people.
I would like to disable the "New Tab opened" that appears for 3secs when I open a new tab?
I usually open tabs from a search engine's results page expecting the links to be of varying quality. This means that it is efficient to open several links from that page and review and close them sequentially later. A reality of the output of search engines is that your 1st link is sedom the one you want.
This button clutters an already small phone screen. I've hardly the space to click outside it and move on often clicking it by accident. Waiting prevents me scrolling to click the next link for 3 seconds or worse when I scroll prematurely I accidentally click it and jump to that Tab prematurely. I don't need to be told what I just did. I know... There is a perfectly functional tabs button in Firefox Android that let's me jump to my new tab in less than second with 2 presses when I wish to do so.
I appreciate that it's "only" 3 seconds and a 1st world problem, but browsers and OS designers aspire to fast customisable function. Maybe there's a way to get rid of this button?
The button is shown in section 3 of "Open a Link in a New Tab" in this article https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/using-tabs-firefox-android
PS. Mozilla - great work with the Sync function keep developing!!

For some reason, Android calls that little notification bar a "toast" so that's the new tab toast. It was added in Firefox 12.
I can't see any preference to suppress it, so I think that would require filing a new bug (request for enhancement). If you feel strongly, I think you are the best person to file it.

Is there a way to get the new tab opened by ctrl+click to open to the right of the current tab, rather than the far right?

I'm using Firefox 6.0.2.
In previous versions there was an option to select where a new tab using ctrl+click would open. For instance, if I have 5 tabs open and am using the third tab and ctrl+click on a link, I would like that link to open in position 4, not position 6 (which is the default).

The default is to open the new tab next to the tab that is in use. The setting is:
* browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent -set to true

With FF15 on Win7, when I click a Google Reader link (that open in a new tab when clicked, target="_blank" style), the new tab opens for a second, then closes.

The tab will not crash if I right-click, open in new tab, or middle click. Other sites with target="_blank" seem to be ok with left click (Google+ links for example). But Google Reader links seem to be completely broken.

Seems to be an adblock plus issue in my case. When I disable adblock it never happens. When I enable it this occurs on most links on google, twitter or reddit. Somehow seems them as pop ups I guess. Probably will have to fiddle with adblock plus.

When I try to access an active link from a website (usually a pdf file), the new tab opens and is labeled correctly; the word "done" appears at the bottom; but the page does not open or download. The same problem does not occur with Chrome.

Example: on the home page of the website http://www.dot.ri.gov
there is an active link entitled "Overview of all Iway changes - Fall 2010"
Clicking on it exposes the following url:
http://www.dot.ri.gov/documents/iway/Iway_Changes_Fall2010.pdf
However, the tab remains blank, even though it says "Done" in the bottom left corner.
When I use Google Chrome as a browser, I have no problem opening that url.
This has occurred numerous times over the past several days on several different sites--and usually the link that will not open is a pdf file.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

How do i make the new tab open with my home page?

when opening a new tab the page is blank and I would like to have it open with my home page.
also very frequently firefox does not shut down when logging off. this results in the computer sitting idle using up the battery... using Vista as the OS

You can look at one of these extensions:

Since the last update my Numbers app in IOS, iPad3 and iphone5 will not open. It works fine on my macbook pro. It starts but before I can open a file it closes.

Since the last update my Numbers app will not load in either my iPad3 or my iPhone5. It works fine on my MacBook Pro. The app starts but before I can open a file it closes. Is this a common problem and do you know hwo to solve it?

Hi Michael,
If you've already restarted both your iOS devices after the update and Numbers for iOS still won't load, you might try clearing the documents temporarily out of iCloud, opening the apps, closing them, and then placing the documents back in iCloud.
To do this, in Finder on your Mac, hold down the option key and then Go > Library > Mobile Documents > com~apple~Numbers. Move the documents there out to the Desktop or other location of your choosing. Then give iCloud time to sync. Then try opening Numbers on iPad and on the iPhone. If they open, then close them, and move the documents back into Library > Mobile Documents > com~apple~Numbers and let iCloud sync again.
That sometimes clears up the problem.

I am unable to find the burn option with the new iTunes. It's not under files.

I have added my audiobook to my list but when I right click on it there is no option to burn it. What am I doing wrong ?

Thanks
Problem resolved itself. Turned out that I had ben unable to contact the App store to confirm purchase. Once this resolved itself program downloaded properly and installation went without a hitch.
Thanks again

Whats up with the recent update from itunes ,just crashed my pc and I'm trying to get it back , all the music and time i have in this player ,and credit , and purchase's anyone ?

Well one of those days Itunes sent me and up date that just crashed and took out my player can't start it up MSVCR.80 dill missing and now what happens to all my music and store credit and purchase s ???? anyone i'm trying to reload it i hope it don't wipe me out !

You should really read the manual.
Open itunes. Connect iphone.
Go to the apps tab. Select what you want.
Sync.

In a new window, only the new tab opens.

Windows Vista, Service Pack 2, 32 bit, FF v 5.0.1. I uninstalled tab utilities extension and changed an option in tabs and now can go to another tab if I switch to it immediately. If I load a tab from a link and try to switch when I'm through reading the first one, the tab will highlight, but the address bar and the page are still on the first tab.

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)]

When taking a test for a job application the new tab opens up and tells me a system error has occurred

I have to take a talent assessment test for a job application but when the tab comes up it tells me I have a system error has occurred. What does that mean?

Hi Bob,
I have question that I hope you can answer. I am trying to decide how to set up my wireless network with a 4th generation Airport Time Capsule (802.11n) with a 5th generation Airport Extreme (802.11n). I have read that you can extend your wireless network, but I am unsure which device I should have connected to the modem, etc., or what setup is the best way to utilize these devices. I want to setup my wireless network and get the most out of each device while making it so that internet connection is "excellent" throughout the house. In addition, I also want to be able to use Time Capsule or Airport Etreme to back up with Time Machine. Basically, I don't understand what it is that I have and how to use it in the best way.
Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Michael

Everytime I click a button that leads to a new page, a new tab opens telling me to update firefox. I've updated, but it still keeps happening.

I have updated as the page has been telling me, but nothing seems to be different. The new tab opens up when I click on a picture to enlarge, when I open a new tab manually, or when I open a page through a link.

Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!

When I attempt to open a new tab by clicking the "new tab" button on the tabs bar, the tab will not open. Can this be fixed and how?

When I open my Firefox browser, the normal 1 tab comes up. But when I attempt to open new tabs with the "new tabs" button, a new tab will not open. I have also tried right-clicking on the tabs toolbar but tabs will not open. The only way I can get a new tab to open is by right-clicking on a link and selecting the "open new tab" option in the right-click menu.

The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13 version. Disable that extension or un-install it.

With the new update: I click on .pdf to download and multiple new tabs open w/o downloading .pdf file
