How can I force tools | Options to open a window pop up instead of a new tab?

I use Firefox on a desktop computer, not a mobile device. A previous question and answer solved my problem before the update for Firefox 42, but this solution no longer works.

As of today, when I click on Tools / Options, it will open in a new TAB. I want the window options quick return, how can I do this? < <

Now about: config, affecting < browser.preferences.advanced.selectedTabIndex > < false > does not open a popup window, but rather a new tab.

The browser.preferences.inContent is no longer supported in Firefox 42 and later (bug 1140495), is not possible to open an independent window by setting this pref to false.

Optionally, create a button on the toolbar of bookmarks for the subject: preferences and hold the Shift key and left click to open the page in a new window.

You can watch the extension Classic theme restaurateur.

  • General UI (1): The options Page (topic: preferences) in a window

If that doesn't work or the choice is missing then you may be using a theme that is not supported.
You can check that by opting for the default theme.

    How can I disable the newtab most used feature display sites. I want the new tab to open the page displayed in the newtab:url in the topic: function config

    41 of Firefox is no longer uses the browser.newtab.url setting in about: config because he was constantly attacked by malware. From 41 of Firefox, you need an add-on to change the new tab page.

    Here are a few options (I'm learning more all the time):

    • If you are already using the extension classic restaurateur theme: There is an option somewhere (!) in his dialogues of the parameters to select another page in the new tab.

    Setting up substitute again tab

    After installing this extension, you must use the Options page to set the new desired tab page (instead of use subject: config).

    Open the page modules using either:

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

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then on the side right, find the new tab override and click the Options button. (See first screenshot attached).

    Depending on the size of your screen, you may need to scroll down to enter the address in the form. (See second screenshot attached). For example:

    • (Default) page thumbnails = > subject: newtab
    • Blank tab = > subject: empty
    • Built-in Firefox homepage = > topic: welcome
    • Any other page = > full URL of the page

    Then tab or click this form field and you can test using Ctrl + t.

    Success?

    Once you have set it as you wish, you can close the Add-ons page (or use the back button to return to the list of Extensions of this Options page).

  • How can I tell Firefox to "pin" a tile for the site displayed on the new tab page?

    I can remove the "little used" sites the new tab Page, but can't run Firefox to add or "pin" a tile for a site that is frequently used on the Page tab. How can I tell Firefox that a site should be "pinned" on the page tab?

    Hi Csbhkvp1, the only way I know about pin of the slab which is not already on the page (sometimes if you zoom using Ctrl-to see all 15 tiles you could spot it) must first of all to bookmark the site you want to pin as a tile, then add the bookmark to the page. Please see this article for more information on this method: customize the page new tab (section "Add a tile from your bookmarks").

  • How can I force an image to open completely on the screen in action?

    In PS CS5 when I open an image with height in the range of 1405-1411 or 1873-1882, the image opens half of the bottom of the screen.  Width opts seem to matter.

    I guess it's a bug, but until it is fixed, I'm trying to work around.

    For manual fitting the vertical adjustment button or zoom out screen causes the image to the screen lights up but neither of these options will save in an action to display.

    When an image is opened halfway off the screen, Place a command place precisely for these images.  So an action that includes a place does not work for these images.

    So either I want to find an arrangement (Nothing in preferences that I can find) to force the image open to the screen, or find a command that runs in an action that activates the picture to come on the screen, while not interefering with images that open normally.

    You can use Insert a Menu item (the Launcher to the Panel menu actions) to record something like view > fit to the screen, but what you describe should not be the case.

    You are using tabs or floating documents?

    Have you tried resetting preferences cs5?

  • There was a 'new window' and a 'new tab' icon that can be slid into the window customize toolbar. In 7 &amp; 8, there is always a 'new window' icon but there is no new tab icon is located to customize. Where can I add a 'new tab' to the toolbar?

    bold text This feature existed before Firefox 7, but now it can not be found.

    You can find the button new tab showing as a '+' on the tab bar.

    You can open the window customize and drag the button new tab that indicates that a sign plus bar tabs on another toolbar and it will become a regular tools like the new button bar button tab you have in versions of Firefox 3.

    If you can not find the new button tab then click the button 'Restore Default Set' in the window customize.

    If you would like the button tab at the right end of the tab bar, then place a flexible space to the left of it.

    -J' have the add-on open all bookmarks in a new tab.

    -It worked before I installed the module TMP (Tab Mix Plus) and it opened in a new page with TMP installed too. I have now deleted the Add on TMP due to a decline in big performance on this module. TMP is a Devourer of cpu and memory.

    -bookmarklet lendle has this code under bookmark properties

    javascript:var array=document.URL.match(/amazon\.(.*?)\/.*?\/.*?\/(.{10})/);if(array==null){alert('This bookmarket works on Amazon.com Kindle book pages, and redirects you to the same book\'s page on Lendle.

       browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external
    

    If this pref is the default-1 browser.link.open_newwindow is used.

    The meaning of the value of the browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external is the same from browser.link.open_newwindow

    Those setting means that you redirect window.open() all calls to the current tab.

    Windows Mail wants to open all attachments with Word rather than Word, Adobe, pad etc. How can I get the attachments to open properly?

    Hello

    1. Click the "Start" menu in the bottom left of Windows. Then select "Default programs".
    2. Click on the option "Associate any type of file or Protocol with a program."
    3. Select the file type you want to change the types of files listed. For example, if you want the text (.txt) file to open it in Microsoft Word instead of WordPad, choose '.txt '.
    4. Click on the "Change Program" button in the upper right window.
    5. In the list of programs, select "Microsoft Word". If Microsoft Word does not appear in the list, click on the button 'Browse' in the bottom right and choose Microsoft Word on your computer.
    6. Click on the button 'OK' and then 'close '. The next time you open this type of file, it will open it in Microsoft Word. Repeat this procedure for any other type of file you want to open in Word.

    How can I restore "double click-to-open" on my touch pad. using window 7

    It depends on who built your touchpad.  Each company has different settings and put them in different places. You can check this common location, but it is not a guarantee.

    1. Open start and select Control Panel
    2. Click on hardware and sound
    3. Click the mouse
    4. Search for touchpad options.  If you don't see everything, go to the Hardware tab, highlight your touchpad in the list, and then click settings.
    5. If there are still no touchpad options, you will need to consult your manual to the owner for where your portable computer specific company set their parameters.

I use a Lynksis WMP54G wireless adapter. Can someone help me? Thank you in advance... Bob

    The WMP54G is an internal PCI wireless adapter and will require drivers installed in order to work a being available as a network connection, the drivers are found here , but depend on the version of the actual hardware to get the right one. You may have to open your case and check the version number on the circuit to find its version, if you still have the packaging, it could be there.

    Download the Zip file, unzip it on the PC and launch the setup.exe located in the directory it creates.

    Use the utility that it also installs to connect to your wireless network, you will need wireless security key to do so. WiFi LAN in Internet Explorer is so once that the connection is set up IE will automatically connect to your wireless router.
