Holding still to open new pages, or not at all

I have used Firefox for years, and it has always been THE best browser. However, the last two versions have shared a problem, and it has me Firefox hunts. First of all, regardless of the settings, Firefox insists on the last page of opening, rather than the Google News page that I said open the preferences page... * watch * the good Google News page, but Firefox keep coming back to this that last opened. It's annoying, but not a game-breaker.

What, however, is that Firefox has become incredibly slow in opening * any * page, if we open the page at all. When I try to go to a web page, it seems he's trying to open this page, but nothing happens. I get "loading" page and the url is, but that's all. Sometimes, after a few minutes, the page loads slowly; most often, Firefox is simply there, no error message, no "Firefox is not responding" or anything else. I have the latest version of Firefox, and the latest versions of Internet Explorer, Chrome, and Opera. all three of * these * browsers instantly open new pages and go to the appropriate home page, by the way.

I've completely uninstalled Firefox several times and removed all traces of it that I could find on my computer, nothing helps. I would * love * returning to Firefox, as always is for me the best browser, but with the way it works, is not an option.

I tried every single suggested "Difficulty" in the Mozilla support pages, and neither did some good. Any other suggestions?

Also, could check you the custom connection settings? You can do it in the dialog box Options here:

"3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > advanced > tab mini network > button "settings".

The default value of 'Use system proxy settings' should piggyback on your Windows/IE 'LAN' settings, but you can also try 'No proxy' to see if it has an impact.

    Thanks for posting the details of your system. I'm skeptical about the "CompTool0234 Community Toolbar". Could you disable some add-ons and see if that helps.

    On this tab:

    Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > addons > Plugins category

    Disable «Conduit Plugin»

    On this tab:

    Disable the CompTool0234 community toolbar.

    Then very probably a link will appear to restart Firefox to make the change. Does make a difference?

    I can't scroll through sites that I connect. something happened in Firefox Mozilla. He used to work when I am connected to a Web page, but not now. all I can do is to manipulate the page through links on the page. No sidebar to scroll or the other. It works fine in Explorer, so I know it's a problem with Firefox, also can scroll etc on pages like MSN, Yahoo, etc., but does not not using Firefox, when I connect to one Web site other than the one which is also a search engine, what happened? can you help me?

    You get a pop-up window or dialog style without menu or the toolbar either? In this case:

    38 of Firefox has a little problem with this combination of circumstances:

    (1) turned off tabbed browsing
    (2) viewing a page in a private window
    (3) you click on a link encoded with target = "_blank", which launches the link in a new window

    The new window opens without menus, toolbar, scroll bars, etc.

    Work on this bug is in progress, but I don't know if the fix will be available in the coming weeks. These are the known workarounds so you can continue using windows browsing private - one of them will work around the bug:

    (1) use tabbed browsing (there is a checkbox in Options > general > "Open new windows in a new tab instead");

    (2) shift + click the links to open in a new window with standard features. or

    (3) change a bunch of hidden settings as explained below - it will not you make changes to the way you use Firefox, but sometimes you need to enlarge some small pop-up windows that have been sized for a window with no toolbar displayed.

    # 3, here are the steps:

    (A) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (B) in the search above the list box, type or paste feat and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (C) for each preference that begins with dom.disable_window_open_feature. , if it is not 'true', double-click it to true.

    You may find that you prefer this anyway, given that sites can band is more these pop-up windows features.

  • I want bookmarks to open new tabs, but not move them immediately

    When I used chrome, I could control click on bookmarks in the bookmarks bar and they would open in new tabs, but it wouldn't switch to the tab immediately (it would load it however). However, in Firefox, when you control click on bookmark, it switches automatically to the new tab. Is it possible to change this?

    I tried turning the 'Tabs' which means that the new tabs open from within a Web page are not switched on immediately, but this seems to have no effect on the bookmarks.

    Hello alexthegreat7, if you please, try the following:
    enter on: config in the address bar of firefox (confirmed the message information where it appears) and search for the preference named browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground. Double-click it and change its realvalue, then Favorites should not receive focus immediately when you click or Ctrl-click on them...

  • Weird Save As... - new page is not visible on the site

    Wasn't sure what to call this thread, but I'll try my best to explain...

    Basically I have a site that uses a database to display the details of African safari lodges, for example here:

    http://www.goodsafariguide.com/campkalahari/

    So far so good - all working as it should.

    However, we are moving the site to a new domain, existing www.goodsafariguide.net.

    So I put in place the new site definition in DW, copied all the files across and downloaded to the new domain. Pretty painless so far:

    http://www.goodsafariguide.NET

    However, something with the database is not play ball - it should have been painless, because both domains are hosted on the same reseller account and in order to share the database. But pages lodge to draw a test blank, for example:

    http://www.goodsafariguide.NET/alfajiri/

    I worked backward to see what is causing the problem, and got a page to use (less the contact form):

    http://www.goodsafariguide.NET/campkalahari/index101.php

    So I thought I could at least get most of the back pages simply by keeping under... and by changing the relevant LodgeID the ID for each lodge. But when I tried it, these pages were not displayed.

    I tried now literally just open this page index101.php and saving them as index102.php, not change a thing and the Uploader.

    But that does not appear:

    http://www.goodsafariguide.NET/campkalahari/index102.php

    Sorry that was a bit long breath, but someone has an idea what could be screwing up here?

    Thank you!

    Just to say that I spotted the problem - was out of the disk space and bandwidth for the account - he threw me just as it emerged as a problem in the middle of me trying to figure out the problem.

  • Opening new page a specific image

    I'm still learning Action Script, but I have a problem with the writing of the complete script to combing navigate to the new URL and gotoAndPlay. Specifically what I want to do is to use a button that when clicked will open a new page and then start to play my Flash movie to a certain slice on the Timeline. I used buttons to navigate to a new URL and used the gotoAndPlay (); command to play a certain range, both succeeded, but when I combine the two I have problems. What is happening, this is the new page loads correctly and goes to the specific image but then opens the browser in a new window with the movie plays from the beginning. The sequence in the correct Web page plays but only if I close only the current page, in other words, what I'm trying to achieve is running, but in the background.

    I have attached the code I tried if this is useful. Thank you very much.

    Very grateful for your help and comments. You are quite right that the sequence should be addressed therefore what I did was click on the button load the new URL, perform animations, and then play the sequence of the film. With the help of "_self" meant that the accumulation of the browser windows has been eliminated, more sequence you suggested mean that the momentary pause is only evident at the time the button is clicked.

    What all this means is that the interaction of the user works in line with my goals. The easiest way to get a similar result would have been to load the full text and then hide and show the parts appropriate to the page as you suggest, but I feel that this method would be only good for the time, being as I expect the pages/content to grow in size.

    The key is the problem solved, thanks to you.

  • Horizontal menu moves when opening new pages

    I have seven top-level pages and have used the horizontal menu widget in my master page. When I view the site in my browser the first four pages loading without problem, but when I opened the last three pages the menu moves to the 20pixles right. If I can open say page this page menu 2 then returned to the original location as it was in the home page.

    Can anyone advise me as to why this is happening. I also tried with the last four pages left in white, and the problem persists, so I guess that the content of the page is not the cause.

    Thank you in advance

    John

    One way that it could move is if the first pages are longer than the others and scrolling side displays or disappears.

  • Coding of the site index page does not display all

    I really need help with this.

    I know a little bit for Dreamweaver. When I opened index page http://redwinemag.com on DW, then its not showing full coding of the page my Web site.

    Please advice

    ~ Diana

    WordPress sites consist of some 800 + files of code fragments.  The index page contains instructions to these various include files.  The server that analyzes the data and creates the page on the fly.  There is no real pages to change in DW because WP pages are generated dynamically.

    My advice is to continue to use the WP Dashboard to edit your content.  Once a WP site is deployed to the server, you don't need DW.

  • New page is not opening in a new window when you use a dynamic menu

    I read a previous post about this, but I don't really see a solution that I could implement. I have a dynamic menu, and I want an article on it to open a new image. Here is the code to the module of the model.

    {module_menu, version = '2', '901683' = Flash, moduleTemplateGroup = "Default"}

    It's the menu main template of the Tribeca site template.

    I tried to insert (_blank) under appropriate destination, and again, it opens in the same window.  I got together at the previous post that it was a matter of version, but as you can see, the code says "version 2"... or I misread that?

    I could not find the place where to make changes. The previous post suggested I'm looking for the CSS on the style of home, but I'm not using a house model.

    Any thoughts?

    Chuck

    You don't put _blank in the module, and that's not all the. Module. There is a folder named models module and which is used by default menu layout. You must ensure or create the target for the link element attribute and add the tags.

    You then add your _blank in the area of the tag for target in admin.

  • History has not disappeared, but new pages do not stick, and library/Sidebar are empty

    I think it happens started when I upgraded to the 4.0 RC version and then downgraded back to 3.6.8.

    When I open the sidebar of history, there is nothing there and I can't find anything with a search. Same thing with the library; the history section of the library is completely empty.

    There is even no pages visited in the current session. It's only permanently white.

    HOWEVER!

    The address bar AutoComplete feature still looking for my story. Pages visited during the current session are also listed in the AutoComplete... but only for the duration of the session. They are not saved.

    In addition, frustrating, AutoComplete does not appear unless at least one of the matches is saved in my story.

    My Favorites are working very well. These are my lists recently closed tabs and windows; If I have a page, close the tab and restart Firefox, it won't be in my address bar autocomplete, but it will be in my recently closed tabs.

    This may be a problem with the places.sqlite file that stores the bookmarks and history.

If I click on this tab, a small window appears in the upper left corner of the screen that contains the error message. I use FF 3.6.

  • Firefox won't download files - open new page and just stop whenclicking on the icon to download or address.

    Suddenly, Firefox download a file from a URL or clickable icon. This seemed occur after installation of HideMyAss. When I click on a download address, or an icon, the page changes, (as opposed to simply from the download) is trying to load (status bar goes to halfway) and then nothing, it just sits there. If I try to download a torrent file, the same thing happens, even if I can download it using option + click. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Doug

    Maybe you can disable HideMyAss to see if this is the cause of the problem you are having?
