• If I have a small Firefox page I can not open a NEW page. He let me just open a new tab on the reduced page

  If I have a small Firefox page I can not open a NEW page. He let me just open a new tab on the reduced page. I used to be able to open a new page in browser icon on my desktop, but for these last days, it won't let me. It is a desktop computer, running Windows 7. Everything is up-to-date.

  Hi Deb, it's hard for me to test it personally because I've pinned the shortcut of Firefox to the taskbar, which changes its behavior, and when I remove it, I don't fit my desktop icon. (?!)

  Anyway, as a temporary workaround solution while we sort out this point, you can use the 'Skip' list: right click on the Firefox icon in the task bar and choose 'Open a new fenΩtre' that should certainly generate a separate window and not only a new tab in the existing window. Normally works?

  Firefox has a hidden setting that you might try to change to see if it makes a difference. Normally, when you open a link in another program, it opens in a new tab in the last window of Firefox, that you used. Your what's doing? I propose changing the setting so that the link must open in a new window to see if it has an impact on this problem.

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

  (2) in the filter box, type or paste link.o and make a pause so that the list is filtered.

  (3) double-click the preference browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external and set its value to 2 and click OK.

  The possible values for this preference are as follows:

  -1 = follow your settings in the Options for new tabs vs new windows (default)
  3 = open external links in a new tab in the last active window
  2 = open external links in a new window
  1 = open external links in the last active tab replaces the current page

  There are a few other similar named preferences, so be sure to change one that has 'external' in the name.

  Any difference?

• Installed Flash Player 14, now I can not open a new tab

  This morning (June 11, 2014), I downloaded and installed Adobe Flash Player 14 (due to a upgrade prompt) and now I can not open new tabs. Email links will open new tabs - will be so some internet links will open new tabs - but by pressing on the '+' does nothing. I tried to reinstall Flash Player. I tried to download and install a new Firefox.

  Mac OS X - 10.6.8

  In some cases, leave Safe Mode and starting Firefox regularly works automatically (like blow off the dust).

  But more often one of your extensions must be updated or disabled in order to recover the missing functionality. Understand what extension sometimes take a bit of work.

  Try first, extension update. You can do this on the page modules. Either:

  • Command + shift + a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

  In the left column, click Extensions. Then on the right side, find the "gear" button and use the check for updates.

  You can also use this page to disable extensions that could be the culprit, or click in their dialog boxes Options (if available) to see if there is a setting for this.

  A little luck?

  Hello lsmalls787, try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that disables certain parameters, disables most Add-ons (extensions and themes).

  If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

  • In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button

    

    click Help

    

    then select restart with disabled modules.

  If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:

  • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.

  When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

  

  If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. Please follow the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

  When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

  Hello

  You can try to check if this in Safe Mode. Safe mode disables the installed Extensionsand themes (appearance) in (Alt + T) Tools > Add-ons. Hardware acceleration is also temporarily disabled - manual setting is Tools > Options > Advanced > general > use hardware acceleration when available. All these settings/options/additional custom modules can also be individually or collectively disabled/enabled/changed to normal mode of Firefox to check if an extension, theme, option or a hardware acceleration is causing issues. Deactivation/activation of hardware acceleration and some types of modules in normal mode may require a restart of Firefox.

  Uninstalling the modules

  An even easier way would be to Reset Firefox by help (Alt + H) > troubleshooting information and start again if all goes well and avoid the problematic add-ons.

• Using Windows 7. Suddenly in my library of photos I can not open a new folder. Never had this problem before. Any suggestions?

  Suddenly today I'm unable to open a new folder in my library of images.  Also impossible to open a new file in the folder of images on my external hard drive.  Don't know what happened.

  Hello, Edith,.

  You have discovered a problem with Windows 7. To resolve this problem, I recommend a program called FileMenu Tools. You can download the portable freeware from here: http://www.softpedia.com/get/PORTABLE-SOFTWARE/System/System-Enhancements/FileMenu-Tools-Portable.shtml .

  After having downloaded and installed the program, you will notice that, by default, each option is checked. I would be much more selective on this subject, otherwise your context menu will be a full page long! When the main window opens, you will see a list on the right side of all the elements that can be added to the context menu. Start weeding through the list and every one to take away, you don't need the United Nationsby checking the box.

  Once you have completed your selection (de-selections) make sure that you click the green check mark in the row of icons at the top of the left window of the interface to 'Apply' of your choice. The program can do much more, but that answers your specific question. I am told that the program has a good help file, so try here if you are interested.

  Let me know if this solves the problem for you.

  Kind regards
