FF42 Desktop icon opens is no longer new instance (FFwindow) in the box of Win7-64...

In FF versions prior to version v 42, by double clicking on the icon on the desktop FF has always opened a new window, even when other instances (windows) to browser FF were already open.

A that the behavior is deprecated in v 42?

I tried to recreate the shortcut by using the two methods; "Send to desktop" and "create a new shortcut here." No method had no effect.

TKS in advance

Make sure that Firefox is not set to run as administrator.
Right click on the desktop Firefox shortcut and choose "Properties".
Make sure that all items are disabled in the tab "Compatibility" in the Properties window.

  • Privilege level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
  • "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" must not be selected

You may also check the firefox.exe program properties in the Firefox program folder.

  • All my desktop icons open under 1 program. How to return to the original way can be opened as part of their own program?

    Long story short, all my desktop icons and pretty much everything else opens under the same program.

    I deleted the program that went all other programs and now all the desktop icons are left white and they don't know where to go.

    I saw several responses to this before, but none of them were really clear. How can I get my programs to open to their original programs?

    Could someone please provide a detailed response, I'm pretty new to this. Thank you.

    Hello

    It's like as if all your slots target for your shortcut got a little messed up. Here is a list of the simple troubleshooting steps that I suggest.

    • When this problem started to happen
    • Have you made a change to your system, such as installing the software before that happens?
    • Have you tried to delete the shortcut icons and create new ones on the oldest?
    • Have you tried to change the target location manually? -To do so, right click on any shortcut icon of the present Office on your computer, locate your target and see if it takes you directly to your location of program if not, go to your local disk, program files and scroll to the program that you want as a shortcut on your desktop. Then go on the address tab and click once. Copy and paste the address into the location your shortcut properties target.

    Hope this helps,

    Kind regards

  • Brand new, fresh out of the box, DSC-HX50V is having all kinds of problems

    On my third attempt to get a HX50, sometimes finally B & H Photo today.  I'm so excited as I opened the box, then plug it in to make sure that the battery is charged.  I unplug, pop in my SD card, turn it on and do the initial setup routine.  I finished the initial installation, the lens comes out and I think, «Here we go...» "But I see on the screen, rather than the other side of the room?  'Access...

Tease me... Make fun of me... Why oh why am I tortured that way?

    Finally... I try to turn off the camera by holding down the power button...  No luck.  I eject the SD card (to be noted that the access lamp is not lit). It's always "for access to the...» "So I eject the battery to force power off.  Pop the battery, turn on the camera, the lens retracts, lens extends, I see the General information on the screen (battery level, 20 M, Focus tracking, etc...) and no image... Nothing...  Just a white background, black... Try to turn off and the power button turns off just the screen, but the lens remains extended and the screen lights up immediately when the power button.  What the...? ! ?

    Then... What I have is a camera that will only show that "access to the...» «When a SC card is inserted, will show the General information but no picture when the SD card is not inserted, the shutter button does nothing, movie button does nothing, watch play button "to access to the...» "for a while before returning to the general info, change the mode, all other buttons dial mode only do something if I shortly after you turn on/off the camera (if I let the screen press on shut down, or turn off the screen with the power button, they will cease to respond to the pressures on) and the power button turns on the camera and turn off the screen , but do not turn off the camera.  Oh Yes... The Toolbox in the menu of the screen blanks, but never sends me into the menu of the box tool.

    Then...  I was wondering... I'm SOL?  Can I reset the device to factory settings and start over possibly fix everything that's wrong?  Is this a defective unit that I have to return to the B & H and hope they can replace in less than a lifetime?  ???

    Thanks for all your help.

    Too bad... I understand that if I plugged the camera, then lit, it lights up in playback mode. In playback mode, all the buttons worked, I was not only able to reset the camera, but also able to format the SD card, which got rid of the ' access to...» "Unfortunately, none of these things toned down the main issue of the camera being completely unusable designed for the purpose of taking a photo and video recording, so I guess it's back to the store and either I'll treat the excessive expectation and additional spending, to get it replaced, or just go with another camera altogether which maybe actually available in a local store... That's life...

  • Middle, click on links open is no longer new tabs in Firefox 6.0.2

    Can fix you it as soon as possible?

    If you use the "Greasemonkey" addon for Firefox, it's what is originally the central of the mouse not to open new tabs. To fix, install the latest version of Greasemonkey available here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/versions/

    Install the version 0.9.11 (who has yet to be approved by Mozilla), and you should be fine.

    Hello Slwaldaias,

    Thanks for your post.  Have you ever had two monitors connected to your computer?  If so, this is probably still in place and tries to open the windows on the other monitor.  You can correct this by ensuring that your computer settings are for a single monitor.  If you have never had a second monitor, the first step would be to scan your computer for malware.

    Use the malicious software removal tool to perform your analysis.

    We can't wait to hear back on your part.

    See you soon
