Just started to open links in a new window instead of a new also safe mode of Firefox tab doesn't do anything, how can I fix?
When I click on a link, firefox opens in a new window. It is used to open it in a new tab instead which is what I prefer. I've never had this problem until last night, so I have no idea what might have started it. I tried the suggestion to put firefox in safe mode and still the same problem. I have firefox 15.0.1 on windows 7.
What security (firewall, antivirus) software do you have?
Try to start the computer in safe mode Windows with network support (on the startup screen, press F8) as a test to see if it works.
Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.
See "create a profile":
- https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/Profile-Manager-create-and-remove-Firefox-profiles
- http://KB.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "tools > Modules > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from the old profile to the new profile, but make sure not to copy corrupted files.

I can't open file of police control Victoria, it keeps saying updating Adobe reader but I have already the latest version. How can I fix it?
Some PDFs (dynamic XFA forms) created in Adobe LiveCycle can be opened in Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat. When you try to open these files in an alternative PDF reader, then you will see this error message.
Unfortunately, it is not easy to remove this message and change the PDF file so that it can be opened in the alternative PDF viewers. The person who created the original form must recreate the shape using the options that do not restrict viewers PDF can open and view the file.
Adobe has made the decision that since very few non-Adobe products are supported on these PDF files special, it is best to show this message - and require the user to download Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat - that is to let the PDF Viewer try to view the document. You can ask the user to drive - extend documents so that you can view it with Adobe Reader.
To ensure that the browser is configured to use the software Acrobat Reader plugin, please see KB: configuration of browser using Adobe Acrobat PDF plugin

My computer has been infected by the virus Happili and I would like to run Windows Defender to drink, that it does not open. I get the above error message. How can I trouble Defender or get rid of the virus. No scanning seems to be virus.
Hello
Read the information that you do not say what Antivirus you use, which can also be the cause of the problem with Windows defender.
And also the scan with Malwarebytes AntiMalware; link to information and download here:
Download, install, update and scan your system with the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware in Mode safe mode with networking:
http://www.Malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
And here's how to go in Safe Mode options; Select safe mode with networking from the list of options:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode
If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.
There is nothing to worry.
Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.
If you are using one of the above AntiVirus programs, this Information from David O - Support Engineer shows you how to manually activate new Windows (do not take into account information from uninstalling; not possible in Vista):
"Go to start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services. Look for Windows Defender.
Right click and select Properties , ensure that Startup Type is automatic.
Once modified, click apply and OK.
Quit and restart your computer. Check the back take the same path to confirm that Windows Defender has started"
And for now, change startup Vista programs without using Defender, use one of these methods:
"How to use MSCONFIG in Windows Vista"
http://netsquirrel.com/Msconfig/msconfig_vista.html
Or the program Autoruns for FREE:
"V11.21 Autoruns for Windows"
http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902
See you soon.

In previous versions of firefox, I could use about: config to make the new tab opened as my home page. the latest version of firefox doesn't seem to allow this. I find it very frustrating that all the search engines seem to want to dictate what I see when I Browse. I wish to install the new version of firefox
In Firefox pref browser.newtab.url 41 disappeared. This pref has been hijacked by malware so frequently while Mozilla has decided to remove this pref to eliminate this kind of diversion.
You will need an extension like this one to restore.
https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/addon/new-tab-override/Or to have your home page as the new tab page, try this extension.
https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/If you're using Classic theme restaurant, go to the options of CTR > general UI (2) and set your preference for the new tab URL there.
For Super Start , you can use the topic: superstart page.

Whenever I open Firefox, I have to reinstall my apps. I already refreshed Firefox, but it still happens.
What applications? Do you mean the Add-ons?
It is possible that there is a problem with the files that store the registry extensions.
Delete the files (extensions.json, extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) extensions.* and compatibility.ini in the profile folder of Firefox to reset the extensions registry.
New files will be created if necessary.

Once I open firefox the wheel little colored appears (which is called?) and does not do anything else. I uninstalled and reinstalled, but the problem persists. I would try the reset option, but the color wheel preventing from doing anything on Firefox. I use a MAC (OS 10.8.4). I have two Macs and the same problem occurs on both. Any suggestions? Thank you
Features of Firefox Reset drop your old settings in a folder on your desktop named old data from Firefox. I suggest to keep this record for a few weeks (you can drag it to a new location if you wish) in case you should dig up any old data settings.

When I try to save my pages / tabs, I can not, because this option is grayed out. I even uninstalled FF with Revo Uninstaller completely reinstalled without new plugins or extensions, and it remains greyed out. The only thing I can do is pin the tabs, but I wish to use this option. If I can't, I don't know whether its Firefox or malware or? Thanks in advance for any help. Windows 7 family Premium SP1, Firefox ver. 22
Thank you very much for your time and effort. It was not the solution, but I couldn't find a place to close the ticket/request. I discovered that I had pinned tabs, in doing so, it grayed out this option. Once I have this marking tabs, I was able to use the option ' use current Page/s. Thanks again for responding so quickly.

Opening links in a new tab will also load the link on the problem of temporamental currnt tab that comes and goes. Sometimes using links from google as well. Never had this problem before. Also the SafeSearch feature on google has itself locked on strict, not too much problem, but has happened at the same time my links and tabs not working like I want.
Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).
