  It is possible that there is a problem with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder.

  Delete the sessionstore.js file [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.

  • Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: opens showing the file
  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox

  If you see files sessionstore-# .js with a number in the left part of the name as sessionstore - 1.js then delete those as well.
  
  Delete sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and tab groups and opened and closed the tabs (back) to get lost, so you will need to create them again (take note or bookmarks).

• Tried to open the Excel spreadsheet in Sharepoint, but get the message "cannot open the window because it contains the following features that are not supported by Excel in the browser: sheet Protection.

  I tried to open this Excel spreadsheet in Sharepoint and received the following message.

  "Cannot open the window because it contains the following features that are not supported by Excel in the browser:

  -Protection plate

  You want to try to open the message in Excel? »

  YES                       NO

  When I type 'Yes', I had then the second message.

  "To open this workbook, your computer must have a version of Microsoft Excel is installed and your Web browser must support opening files directly from Excel in the browser".

  What should I do?

  Original title: sharepoint excel files

  Tommy:

  I have 64 bit explore.  So I guess that the thought is that the error message was generated by the incoming file, as I have other files Excel I can access in Sharepoint with no problem?  I sent the file Outlook e-mail and was able to open it with no problem at all.  .

  Thanks for the information,

• Win7 Home Premium: I want to open multiple windows to "windows explorer". Presario CQ62.

  Before Win7, there was an icon to open Windows Explorer, and I could open multiple windows of it.  I really miss this feature; It was great for transferring files.  (How) can I do now?

  I also want to move the icon on the desktop and out of the taskbar.

  Thank you very much

  Use the Win + E keys to open as many times as you need.

• I have been using aol. It allows you to open multiple windows. How do you do this with Firefox? b

  I hope this helps.

• How can I open multiple copies of Firefox - like I used to do on the old computer?

  I have a new computer and downloaded Firefox 28.0 I need to have multiple copies of Firefox opened at the same time when working on projects. Using tabs is completely unacceptable, because I do not see a piece of information at a time. I don't know anything about programming, so please don't tell me to do anything related to that. Is the best solution to remove the new version and return to the old ones?

  One thing I do in this case is to open several tabs, and then drag one tab away from others. When you drag the tab away it will open in its own window, which gives you what sounds like you after.

  Good luck!

• Is it possible to open several windows in firefox 5.0? I can't do windows quick launch and the right click "open in a new window" does nothing.

  Yes, not much more to say. Since I've upgraded to firefox 5.0, I opened several windows. Several tabs to work, but I don't like tabs. Help, please.

  See if they work in Mode safe mode, which is very easy to test Firefox 5.

  Safe mode: to appear in safe mode, a time when you do not not tick the subjects (they are definitely not safe). Help ('Alt + H") >"restart with disabled modules. If there is no problem then it is almost certainly of an extension.

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_%28Firefox%29#Extension_issues

  If it works, try to find the addon (s) causing the problem.

  1. Disable half of the extensions and restart Firefox. At this point, you are no longer using safe and test extensions.
  2. If the problem persists, disable half of the other extensions

  If it does not work select last half of people disabled
  Then restart. and check again at step 2.

  In case of failure to isolate the problem return answer and so resolute mark thread as resolved.
