When I open Firefox on my home page, there is an empty space in the middle of the screen. No script; just a bar click on and an empty box and a (?).

Open Captivate .swf project in a new window
I try to open a .swf Captivate in a new window; However, the options are grayed out when you use the hyperlink function. When I click on the hyperlink the captivate project opens inbedded in RBH. If I choose to use the Captivate icon, it's also well anchored. Help is appreciated!
Thank you.
Hello
Normally, you insert a Captivate SWF into an HTML page in order to present. You do this? If not, why?
Once you insert the SWF file in an HTML page, you can then open the HTML page in a new window.
See you soon... Rick

Opening page in a new window when clicking on a link in the section of Global button bar
Hello
I created a custom and global link to appear alongside the House, disconnected links. The requirement is to open a page in a new window when I click the custom global link. Please let me know how to get this functionality.
Thank you
VGVG,
I think you should be able to open a new window using javascript in the function definition,
Please check out the http://mukx.blogspot.com/2007/07/javascript-in-oa-framework.html blog and try it.
Let me know if you are not able to achieve the same thing.With respect,

How stop firefox from opening a startup page each time that I open it
Hello
at the beginning when I installed firefox, when I open the home page was something called firefox support.

I have my browser set to restore the previous session, when I open Firefox and new tabs to open the vacuum. With these settings, I used to be able to open new windows and carry the load of my home page, while keeping intact previously mentioned behaviour, but when I open a new window now, I get a blank page.
Is it possible to restore the previous behavior, or are all the tabs that are now seen as the same now, if they are open within the framework of new or existing windows?
You must change the string "browser.newtab.url" by clicking twice and then write "subject: empty"... now the newtab will open with a blank page...» To change the home page will appear in a new window, see how to How to set the home page How to set the home page ~ J99

Problems opening some jpg files in a new window - allow saving the file
It looks more a problem of question instead of the Web browser, but can you tell me if there might be a Firefox framework that affects this behavior?
When you shop for online leads, I often open different color pictures in windows separated to see who looks better together.
I came across a page that does not allow me to do that for a lot of these images - instead, the message appears:
> You have chosen to open:
>. zoom.1.jpg [filename]
> which is: binary file
> from: http://cdno1.yarn.com
> you want to save this file?
> Cancel / save file
The page is http://www.yarn.com/webs-anniversary-sale-weaving-yarns/webs-weaving-yarns-valley-yarns-rayon-chenille/. To assume the error, I hit ctrl + enter while the cursor is over the image of the hourglass, and then select or open the link in new tab (or window). Copy the link of the image and it enter in the URL bar also evokes the same error message for the articles in question.
I added 'yarn.com' and 'cdno1.yarn.com' to my list of exceptions for the popup blocker, but has not made a difference or doesn't open Firefox in Mode without failure.I recently had to delete and reinstall my laptop OS, so I lost my preferences for Firefox and I am trying to sort and correct any unexpected behavior. I am currently using Mac OS X 10.6.8 and the latest version of Firefox. (I can't access this information in Mode without failure, but 38.0 sounds right.)
Any help is appreciated.

My extra mouse button opens no longer tabs in a new window
I have a Logitech Marble Mouse. It has two additional buttons. I use one for the 'return' and the other is set to "auto-scroll". For as long as I remember when I clicked on a link with the button "auto-scroll" link opens in a new window. Given that I've updated for Firefox 6.0.2 this behavior has changed. Nothing happens now when I click on a link with the button "auto-scroll".
Apparently, there is inconsistency or conflict Bug between Greasemonkey 0.9.10 and Tab Mix Plus.
An update to Greasemonkey 0.9.11 should fix
Check and tell if its working.

Thunderbird wants to open your messages, each in a new window; delete more of a message
- and indeed, most of the time! Be it a message, a half-dozen 36 (like last night) or Thunderbird is now entirely too sensitive to open messages in a new window. When I delete a message, often not one or several messages go shining with it, so I have to go to the Recycle Bin and retrieve the message I did want to delete friezer.
What happens if one of these messages that opens in a new window contains a virus? Of course, I have a good, powerful antivirus but I would be happy to have time for myself - my computer do not have to deal with the glitches and viruses.
Try a different mouse. It seems that yours is wrong and deliver a double click when you click.

Two tabs always open. default page 1 with my home page and the other with the FF. It is so irritating that I rarely use the Firefox browser even if its faster than IE.
Finally, I deleted all traces of Firefox on my computer, including all the stuff that uninstall has not been deleted. Then I reinstalled from scratch. That seems to work and I get now only a single tab when I open the program.
Comment from a forum moderator (~ J99)
Note it is generally a last resort solution.
I suggest to all those who wish to follow this solution guarantees that they back up the Firefox profile first. See also:
