  • Firefox in Safe Mode

• Whenever I press "enter" while using firefox, 2 or 3 new tabs open with a website I've ever used. How can I stop this from happening? Thanks :)

  The Web site that appears is www.carpoint.com.au
  I've never used this site.

  Try Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there.
  
  A way of solving problems, which disables most of the modules.
  
  (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

  • You can open the mode without failure of Firefox 4.0 + by pressing the SHIFT key when you use the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • Or use the Help menu option, click restart with the disabled... modules while Firefox is running.

  Do not choose anything at the moment, just use 'continue in safe mode.

  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the shortcut of Firefox (without the Shift key) to open it again.

  If it's good in Firefox Safe mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one.

• New tabs open in a new window or in a pre-existing window that is not currently used.

  What happened is that I was running two windows of Firefox at the same time and trying to open a new tab, the new tab opens in the window I was not currently using. Later, I closed a window and trying to open links in a new tab, instead it will open a new window.

  I checked the settings of the options that would be opening a new window opens a new tab instead turned on, which is.

  My hunch is that one of your extensions is cause that to happen.

• New tabs open to the right of the current page, not extreme right?

  I liked using the new tab button, which disappeared from the most recent version, I had to go back to 38 to find it and put it back on my toolbar. However, I was not able to set the way in which the new tab opens, next to the page that I am. Previously, if I clicked on the new tab button, a new tab would open at the far right of the tabs. I tried to fix it by going to about: config, changing the browser.tabs.insertrelatedaftercurrent to 'false' to 'true' as was the fix in 2013. Alas, it doesn't now and I want to change it back. In addition, the new tab icon/button is gone for good in the new versions?

  If your new tab button opens a tab in the middle of your tabs, it could be a feature of an extension related to tab. Some of them, such as Tab Mix Plus and Tab Utilities have so many parameters it can be a challenge to sort through all of them. You can check your extensions and check if they have an Options button to tweak their settings, on page modules. Either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

  In the left column, click Extensions. Then go through the list on the right side.

• Open a new tab opens a new tab and new window in double - how can this be corrected?

  When a new tab is opened (by any method-'ctrl t' etc - a new tab opens, but also a new window which is a duplicate of the window active.) Assistance to resolve this would be most appreciated.

  Please try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

  If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

  • Click the menu button

    

    click Help

    

    then select restart with disabled modules.

  If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

  • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
  • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
    (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

  When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

  

  If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

• New tab opens as vi-virw with black ball above in the new version of FireFox. It is very unusual (viruse?). Help, please!

  During the installation of FireFox, installation was interrupted by another program (?) and a quick start module has been added by lightningnew tab.co (?). Some files has been installed in the application Data Mozilla Application.
  FireFox works fine. However, the new tab opens as vi-virw with black ball above it instead frequently used Web sites. Help, please!

  NOTE: This problem occurred on my ThinkPad another with XP operating system.

  OK, now, which resembles Firefox 33.

• When I open the Firefox browser, as well as my homepage of opening, a new tab opens in the same time, how can I stop this please?

  This problem has only just begun and I don't know why. When I click the icon to open the Firefox browser, my homepage tab opens and another new tab opens to the sides of my Home Page tab. I checked and none are tube not characters in my address of the home page.

  This seems to take place (e.g., Firefox opens my home page AND a new tab at startup - unsolved).

  In case one of your extensions is in question, could test you mode without failure of Firefox? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

  You can restart Firefox in Mode safe help

  Help > restart with disabled modules (Flash and other plugins still works)

  In the dialog box, click on 'Start mode safe' (not Reset)

  Any difference when using the Home key or open a new window (Ctrl + n)?

• In Windows Media Player when I try to listen to a CD that I pulled it out of my computer, a new tab opens in Firefox "license cannot be downloaded because your Web browser is not supported.

  I use Windows Media Player 11 and I have Internet Explorer 8 is installed on XP Pro and when I try to listen to a CD that I pulled it out of my computer, a new tab opens in Firefox (my default browser), with the following message:

  The license can not be downloaded because your Web browser is not supported.
  To download a license, you must install Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 or later.
  To install the latest version of Internet Explorer, see the Windows Update page.

  What do I need any type of license to, to listen to music, I ripped a CD I bought, and furthermore that the browser has to do with what ever automated procedure Microsoft Media Player must perform?

  Suspecting that not having IE selected as the default browser might be interfering, I did so (something I'm not impressed about) and instead, was taken through to a Windows Media Technologies page http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/pdrm/en/welcome.asp?challenge=AAEAAZB*vUQ029QDmL5QfLzVnjGCf9din34fu*twoJQKPK0Agme7r3JqmhpZNJIHdVJ3JF20CQEtGSO6im53G7MUAjceYDRQUZXp2ghI5bYyB7kJjpvQoHFJNtNRWAvEXvv!fk7GbENwhn1K0gzMvWstLFBf3Esp9laOTsOCLqO7FqCfeYinJkeEGUevauivoM3NLAJOP4exrtgQX4zeRcujxi7W7AmLGDNRhh2qEgP1WmXh2PkzNZXwSn3QznsTK8!up58P10sX&DRMVer=1.4&embedded=false that provided some information about Licensing and Migrations and offered the opportunity to Download a License.  However, after selecting this button has encountered an error: 438 unknown error occurred when you store your license.

  Where are the stored licenses and why this is happening with all the music I have on my computer?

  I would appreciate an overview of this and especially a viable solution.  Thanks for your time.

  Thank you.  I found my answer and solution to http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-xp/help/windows-media-player/11/album-info.  Thanks for your time.
