• Everytime I open a new firefox window, a new tab opens with the new window. How do I stop this?

  Everytime I open a new Firefox window, the new window opens to the page of hope (as I want him), but then a tab opens with the new window. I want Firefox to stop doing this. When I open a new window I want just the window to open it. I don't know how to solve this problem I've known idea how I did that happen. First of all, it happened when I hit Ctrl + N to open a new window, but I did not hit the "N" itself. I pressed one of the other keys around the "N" and this issue has started.

  It's quite strange!

• New computer Windows 7 and the Wii

  Well, I really have no where else to turn, so I thought I might as well try these forums.

  Basically, my problem is that my new computer Windows 7 Home (I just bought 1 week ago), may not share the router with Wii my brother. This is the router card, as well as my problem:

  Linksys BEFSR41 V4, 4 port wired router-last update

  ISP is Comcast

  Configured for the port before the Wii, using the - Ports 1-65535, both TCP and UDP and assigned a static IP address 192.168.1.111 (which was at the recommendation of Nintendo on the phone)

  Wii has been assigned a static IP (as mentioned above) as it was my computer.

  Wii has the correct entries in the router DNS server

  We have 2 computers and a Wii connected to the router, everything has a static Ip address. If Wii Port Forwarding is disabled, both, we can go online, no problem what - if - ever, everything is wonderful and quick. If the Wii is enabled on the router, my brother PC and Wii can apply online, but my PC can't. It has never happened before with my old XP sp3 computer (HP Pavilion, record quite high for the time, 9 years old, worked as a beauty ), but for some reason my other cannot share the line with the Wii. Just mine, no less . I don't know what could be the cause of the problem. I did research all this information when we first have his Wii, so everything was peachy until this new computer.

  Please, any help is very appreciated, I traveled more than 4 hours time to mobile phone, only to get the evasive of Comcast and Dell.

  Your TM602G is a cable modem which should work fine when your BEFSR41 resetting to the factory default values.  Note that your modem has a battery in it.  The battery must be removed, for a minute, each time that install you the modem with a new router, or connect a computer directly to it.  I suspect that is the reason why you couldn't get an Internet connection with the last configuration that we tried.  Also, do not connect anything to the TM602G USB port.

  For the time being, until all computers are running, please unplug the Wii.

  For now, please set both your computers in order to "Obtain an IP address automatically" and "obtain a DNS server address automatically".  Restart the computer and make sure it is always set up this way.

  I think it will be better to start with a "clean slate" to set up your network, the next step will be to reset your factory default BEFSR41.

  To reset your router by default, follow these steps:

  (1) turn off all computers, the router and the modem and disconnect from the wall.
  (2) disconnect all the wires of the router.
  (3) turn on the router and let it start up completely (1-2 minutes).
  (4) press in and hold the reset for 30 seconds button, then release it, then let the router reset and restart (2-3 minutes).
  (5) turn the router.
  (6) to connect to a computer (if possible, use a computer Win XP or Vista) cable to port 1 of the router (NOT to the internet port).
  (7) turn on the router and let it start up completely (1-2 minutes).
  (8) the power of the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it's off).
  (9) try ping on the router. To do this, click the 'Start' button > all programs > Accessories > command prompt. A black DOS window will appear. Enter the following text: "ping 192.168.1.1" (without the quotes) and press the Enter key. You will see 3 or 4 lines that begin with ' response to... ". "or"Request timed out". If you see "reply from...". ", your computer has found your router.
  (10) open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to the login page of your router. Let the empty user name (Note: some Linksys routers have a username "admin") and in the password field, enter "admin" (without the quotes). This will take you to your router configuration page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually found near upper right corner of the screen). Exit your browser.

  If you get this far without problems, put your entire network.  Then, using an ethernet cable, connect the ethernet on the TM602G port to port Internet (WAN) of the BEFSR41.  Leave your computer connected to the LAN of the BEFSR41 port.   Remove the battery from your TM602G and wait a minute.  Replace the battery in the TM602G.  Turn on your TM602G and let it start up completely (1-3 minutes).  Turn on your BEFSR41 and let it start up completely (1-2 minutes).  Turn on your computer.  Now, try to connect to the Internet.  If you have trouble, temporarily disable your firewall software computer and try again.  If you get a computer to get an Internet connection is working properly, then (using an ethernet cable) connect your second computer to the BEFSR41 and try to get an Internet connection active.    STOP HERE and the report with your results, including the results of step 9 and 10, and whether or not, both of your computers working Internet connections become.

  If you can not ' response to... ". "in step 9 above, your router is probably dead. A report with this problem

  If you get a response in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, is that your router is dead or the firmware is damaged. Related to this issue.

• How to configure the desktop or the taskbar icon/link to Firefox so 42 or more recent version of Firefox always opens in a 'new private window'?

  I use Linux on my Acer laptop. I want to use Mozilla Firefox version 42.0 or more recent in the 'new private window Mode"always. When I click on the Firefox icon on my desktop or the taskbar, I want Firefox to open in 'New private window' always; no exception. When I click on the tab button or a link, all new pages should always open 'Private window' mode. In addition, I want to know that I am in a private window with privacy mask showing. Your help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you, Amos.

  Hi Amos, assuming you want to get more protection, monitoring, there are a few options:

  • You can customize your firefox shortcut on the desktop or the taskbar to open firefox directly in private browsing mode: right-click the shortcut "mozilla firefox", go to properties, and at the end of the target line that should hold them the way to the firefox program folder add " -private"
  • You can enable protection followed not only during private browsing, but in normal windows as hollow a 'hidden' preference: enter on: config in the address bar of firefox (confirmed the message information where it appears) and search for the preference named privacy.trackingprotection.enabled. Double-click it and change its value to true.
  • You can set firefox don't remember history in the menu > options > sign confidentiality in order to always run in private browsing mode. However you will not be able to open all normal windows or record the history and passwords if you have defined this mode: confidentiality, and-not-track browsing history settings

• That is why when I right click on the Firefox icon I get a purple flag with "new private window? No there is no way to remove this item?

  I'm a prisoner of the "new private window? Is it OK if I don't want that? God is going to punish me? It certainly looks that way.

  I got Win 10 for 4 months and until yesterday, 11/10, I didn't even know about the 'new private window' and the flag purple now appears when I right-click on the Firefox icon. Someone tried to help her by suggesting new privacy settings. So I lost most of my desktop shortcuts but not the private window! I'll be back most of the shortcuts, but I'm still stuck with the purple flag company. I have a background of tech and only for this reason that I try to keep things simple. It is vital that, how did you before? Any help or clarification will be appreciated. Thanks for listening.

  The image used for the incognito in the task bar was changed to Firefox 42. Previously, the image was not colored purple, more as a lighter blue color.

• Just the fact on the integration of 'New private window' Safari to the main stage of the choice of FILE!

• New private window opens in pop up windows

  -I click on the link on a site
  -New private window opens the link in a pop-up window with no bar to scroll/bar menu/bookmark bar/etc... I can maximize the size of the window, but have no way to see the bottom of the page... [See attached snapshot]

  NOTE... it shows at the top of this capture, private browsing... The bookmark bar of menus/scrollbars bar have disappeared, that the capture is a pop up... He's supposed to be a new web/window private browsing page.

  -C' is definitely a bug in the last update.
  -using the worm 38.0.1
  -Navigation in a normal window works fine... this link opens in a new window fine, as is expected. , but something broke when browsing in private windows.
  -Reset of mozilla has not fixed the problem.

  This is a known bug in Firefox that is known by some, but not all, users. It can be bypassed by following these steps:

  1. Go to Subject: config and click on the warning message.
  2. In the search at the top of the page box, type the text dom.disable_window_open_feature. Wait a few seconds for the filter takes effect or press ENTER.
  3. Double-click one of the listed values that have a value of False to change to True.
  4. Close the tab when you're done and that the problem should be solved!

• I want the cursor to be in the address bar when you create a new window; It works for new tabs and a new private window, but not in safe mode.

  I tried following the advice offered in the different threads bit I found on this but nothing works out. I want the cursor to be in the address bar when I open a new window or when firefox opens without restoring a previous session. I solved the problem for new tabs via subject: config, but it does not work for the new windows. I tried safe mode and the problem persists. In a new private window, the cursor is in the address bar.

  A new window opens the homepage (default: subject: House) and not the new tab page (default: subject: newtab).

  Some of the built-in pages set the focus to the search bar on the web page, just like the Google site only.

  You can use a bookmark in the bookmarks toolbar that opens the subject: blank page.
  If you hold down the SHIFT key when you click this bookmark, then you open a new widow with this page.
  Otherwise, you need to set the home page to about: blank or on the point: about to have easy access to all the pages.

• Why are there only 2 tiles on my new tab window, there were 9?

  It doesn't seem to be the options to add additional tiles to the new tab window and when I drag a site marked with a bookmark to the window, he don't just stand there, he just opened the site

  Hello

  With the last update of Firefox, the number of tiles is now determined on the size of the screen - if zoom you or enlarge the window, you can have several tiles appear.

  If you want to set a fixed number of tiles, I believe you can do it with the following extensions:

  • https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/addon/new-tab-tools/

  You can also see jscher2000's Solution here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1025414
  It requires the add-on from the elegant but will decrease automatically the tiles on the page:
