Won't open new page when I click bookmark, instead changes pages EVEN THO PREFERENCES SET TO OPEN NEW PAGES

Firefox keeps on changing pages, even yanking minimized pages back onto the screen and changing them, even though I have Firefox preferences set to always open new pages to accommodate links on a page or bookmarks.
I don't want Firefox to tamper with any pages, period. If I have a pages minimized, no way should Firefox be yanking that page up back onto the screen because it's "too lazy" to open up a new page to accommodate a bookmark or link clicked on.
It's extremely aggravating to click a link on a page, get a new page then, when I click the page to close it I find no page underneath, indicating that Firefox had changed the original page rather than open up a new page automatically to accommodate the link, etc.
What's the point of me in Firefox preferences setting it up for Firefox to open up new pages automatically when afterwards it doesn't?

Perhaps try the add-on Tab Mix Plus. It has a feature that you can force every link to open in a new tab if you like:
* http://tmp.garyr.net/help/#Links (description of options - see "Force to open in new tab")
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/ (install page)
I don't know whether it has any effect on bookmarks. You can open those in a new window by holding Shift or in a new tab by holding Ctrl when clicking.

My Images won't open in Photoshop CS5 when I click on Edit in Lightroom - even though this option has been selected? To edit in Photoshop I have to export image from Lightroom then import into Photoshop. I have other programmes such as NIK and if I wish

My Images won't open in Photoshop CS5 when I click on Edit in Lightroom - even though this option has been selected? To edit in Photoshop I have to export image from Lightroom then import into Photoshop. I have other programmes such as NIK and if I wish to edit in these everything works fine.

Same here. I've never had trouble with this function before.
It opens the Photoshop application with all the menus/windows, but it never opens the actual image I chose to work on.
I'm on a Mac, using OS X Yosemite, 10.10.1 Lightroom is version 5.7 Photoshop is CS5, version 12.0.4
FWIW, I also can't automate>Photomerge ... . Makes me think Photoshop, not Lightroom, is all wacky. I tried dumping PS preferences

Why can't I add bookmarks to Firefox 3.6.6? Nothing happens when I click "Bookmark This Page".

Why can't I add bookmarks to Firefox 3.6.6? Nothing happens when I click "Bookmark This Page".

Just for the record, I was having this problem with older versons of Firefox also. It just happened recently and, with the help of this forum (thanks cor-el) suggesting to open Firefox in safe mode and checking add ons, I found the problem. It was the recent update of Mcafee Site Advisor. If you have Mcafee Site Advisor as an add on, disable it and see if that helps. It worked for me.
To disable this add on,
Go to:
Tools/Add ons/Extensions and click: "disable" for this add on and restart Firefox. Hope it works for you too.
P.S. To uninstall Site Advisor altogether, you must do that through Windows Add/Remove Programs.

Get a flashlight and make sure there is no obstruction/dirt/debris in the Nano headphone jack. Be sure you plug the headphones all the way in, the plastic on the headset jack should be flush with the body of the Nano.

How do I move bookmarks imported from internet explorer from the folder so they show when I click Bookmarks

The imported bookmarks are in a folder whereas if I create a new bookmark in Firefox it just appears when I click bookmarks. How please can I move the IE ones over?

Are they already in the Bookmarks Manager, or are you getting ready?
The Bookmarks Manager works just like the file browser on the computer.
Bookmarks (files) can be moved, or removed the same way.

New Tab doesn't open when I click on the + sign or even try to open over the Menu command

Currently I can't open a New Tab even when I click on the + sign or try to open over the Menu command. The only way that it opens is when I browse over the link and click with the right mouse button. What do I need to do specifically to open a blank New Tab either by clicking the +sign next to an already open Tab and/over the Menu command.

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
*If you have many extensions then first enable half of the extensions to test which half has the problem.
*Continue to divide the bad half that still has the issue until you find which one is causing it.

Very often when I click bookmarks, it won't work. I have to close firefox and reopen it and then usually bookmarks will open. What's wrong?

Basically, just as I said in the above question, frequently, bookmarks won't open when I click on it. If I close firefox and restart it, usually then I can access bookmarks. Is there anything that will fix this?

'''Try the Firefox SafeMode''' to see how it works there. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

Why won't my items download when I click "download here"?

I keep seeing a message that i have 7 items to download. When I click on the highlighted link, it doesn't execute the download. Any tips? Thanks!

I am running CS5.1 on Mac. I use a Canon 1DX.
I don't know about disc space but we store everything on an external hard drive and I only edit from my desk top until it is finished. The problem is intermittant. It doesn't always do it but when it does I have to shut down bridge for at least 5 minutes to get enough time to edit a few more files before it does it again. Sometimes it doesn't do it at all but when it does it won't save anything. Most of the time I shut down the computer and wait 10-15 minutes.
What would you reccomend? I am not overly tech savvy so a simple walk through may help!
Thanks for the reply.

When i change my settings in: Tools Options, they wont save when i click okay, they just revert back and re-set themselves. How can i make them permanently save?

I am trying to change my cookie setting in the privacy tab. i change the drop down box to custom settings and hit [okay]. But when i go back 'onto the options it has re-set the setting back to how it was before i changed it. The websites i am trying to access will still not let me because of cookies not being enabled. Any help on getting these setting to change, and stay changed would be much appreciated.

My Ipod Touch won't play music. When I click on Itunes, all it does is open the ITunes Store. There are no playlists at all, but they show up on my computer just fine. I have tried syncing several times, and have tried making a new playlist.

I have tried making a new playlist, and have synced it a gazillion times. This all happened when I bought a new computer and transferred my Ipod to it...with upgraded Itunes software. I have tried everything.

Thanks -- actually I worded the question wrong. I was trying to find my songs icon and kept reloading Itunes to try to find it. All I could get was the store. I finally figured out how to reset the desktop and I got my icon back. Thanks for your answer.

ITunes will not open in Windows 7 for one User. All I get is the Licence Agreement pane and when I click YES nothing further happens. I have set up a second user and iTunes opens without problem in that User window.

Clearly something is blocking the main user(administrator) from opening the iTunes programme and I cannot find a solution.

Many thanks for your reply. Yes I carried out the suggested procedure in safe mode , which did not resolve the issue and so this is what led me to set up a second User account. iTunes opened without problem in this second account and so I looked at the User-specific troubleshooting but I just could not locate the iTunes Preference files no matter how much searching I did.
I also tried uninstalling and re-installing but the problem persists. Would be very grateful for any further advice.
