• How can I close a tab that has locked up, rather than farm the whole browser to be insensitive?

  I have a bad habit of having several tabs open. If I click on a link that translates the whole browser becomes unresponsive, how do I close the tab offending rather than having to close the entire browser and losing all my tabs?

  It is not a bad habit, it's normal.

  Unfortunately, there is currently no way to 'kill' a single tab without picking up Firefox.

  A few times a week I get "not responding" when I exceed the amount of memory Firefox can use. Usually about 60-90 seconds, I can close Firefox by using the menu, either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
  • (menu bar) File > Exit
  • These same keys in order:Alt f x

  Freezes caused by other reasons could not out, in which case you get stuck. Prevention is the best cure.

  Since the Flash plugin can also cause this problem and it is used everywhere around the web, I suggest the following to minimize potential problems with Flash in your troubleshooting:

  (1) to avoid unnecessary pain on the sites where the Flash is not really essential, try to set the Flash on Click-to-Play (Ask 'activation'). This will delay the Flash start on a page, until you approve.

  To set 'Ask to activate', open the page modules using either:

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

  In the left column, click on Plugins. Search 'Shockwave Flash' and always change 'enable' to 'ask to activate '.

  With this setting, when you visit a site that wants to use the Flash, you should see a notification icon in the address bar and usually (but not always) one of the following values: a link in a gray rectangle dark in the page or an information bar sliding between the toolbar and in the page area.

  The plugin notification in the address bar icon usually resembles a little Lego block, dark gray. (If it is red, Flash must update.)

  The delay in the activation of Flash can help distinguish between the problems caused on the initial page load, put in folds and script activation vs Flash/loading bar.

  If you see a good reason to use Flash, and the site looks trustworthy, you can go ahead and click on the notification icon in the address bar to allow Flash. You can trust the site for the time being or permanently.

  But some pages use Flash only for tracking or play ads, so if you do not see an immediate need for Flash, feel free to ignore the notification! He will just stand here in case you want to use it later.

  (2) a common cause of errors in script does not work in Windows Vista and later is the feature of mode of the Flash player plugin. This feature has the security benefits, but it seems to have serious compatibility problems on some systems. You can disable it using the page modules. Either:

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

  In the left column, click on Plugins. On the right side, find 'Shockwave Flash' and click on the link for more. Then uncheck the box for "Enable Adobe Flash protected mode" and try it for a day to see if that helps you.

• Chrome, rather than Bing

  I prefer to use Chrome, rather than Bing as my search engine. Where to change this setting?  I use Windows 7.

  Thanks for your help.

  Chrome is a browser, not a search engine.

  My guess is that you want to replace the default search engine in Internet Explorer with Google search.

  If that's what you want to do, click on the gear in the top right of the window icon and select "Manage Add-ons."  In the window that opens, click on "search providers".

  If the only element of the list is Bing, click at the bottom left of the window to «Search again search engines»

  In the "Internet Explorer Gallery" window that opens, scroll down to "Google search" and click Add.  Click on 'Add' in the pop up window. You can close the window "Internet Explorer Gallery".

  Close window 'Manage Add-ons' and then click on the gear icon and open it again.  You should now see Google in the search providers list.

  Click on Google and then click on "Set as default."  Close window 'Manage Add-ons '.

  More I use Vista, more I hate it!

  It came pre-loaded on my Fujitsu Lifebook. I had heard talk were many complaints about Vista and I wanted to stay with XP or Windows 7.  Each manufacturer of the laptop has been unfortunately Vista preinstallation.

  • When I use the word processor Works Windows, sometimes without warning he automatically becomes italic police without any input from me.
  • If on Windows works WP or on any page of e-mail online, when I starts to move the cursor, a little 'target' - as the icon appears when the cursor was and, either changes in font size of microscopic or 500% or more.
  • On the Internet page of wole can shrink or get huge.
  • At other times, with one touch of the mouse or touchpad, rather than the font change, the cursor may disobey my entry and the end to the top at the bottom of a page where I won't be, or somewhere else. When I get back to the expected location, it can repeat the same action three or four consecutive times before to behave normally again.  This makes typing manuscripts or very frustrating messages sometimes, not to mention a lot of lost time.
  • When you try to type copy from a printed script, if I don't keep control of the screen I can finish with margins stange, italic where they belong or phrases that are moved where they belong.
  • Sometimes when I'm trying the high - lite a word or phrase so I can drag it to another location, it will refuse to high light, making necessary use rear brace to delete the words I want to drag and retype the words to the new desired location.
  • Another problem is that the will of cursor down stubornly and turn several times since the location of the Center to the extreme side so that the rest of the page is covered.  Vista seems to have a mind of your own.

  This set of problems seems to migrate from MS Word to MS Works, Web pages, and e-mail message composition.  I thought it was the new computer initially. I even returned it to Fry's electronics for maintenance two times.  I mean, they just excanged for another new Fujitsu Notebook.  When I got home, the replacement computer have behaved in the same way, which indicates that it's the software, not the hardware.

  Funny thing - now that I complain on this topic in this forum and have written this much, it doesn't have behaved badly again!  The ghost of Vista must have been scared and went into hiding.  ;-)

  Yet once more I use Vista, more I hate it!  -especially since I was in the middle of writing a book for publication.  In light of the frustration and the loss of my precious time because of these persistent bugs in recent months, I wish MS would trade my copy of Vista for Windows 7.  MS seems to be getting a reputation for releasing Beta quality software and call it a finished product.  You would think that MS wakes up to the fact that consumers expect to have for their money.  Everyone has the same problems?

  Are there realistic solutions out there?    Hmm, no spell no checker on this page.  Sorry for the typos. :-)

  You can get in trouble with your mouse device drivers, firmware and/or software.  This may be due to a Microsoft Update or any number of things (and could have happened to these two machines, if you did the same thing in both cases).  Go to the Device Manager by going to start / find and type Device Manager and enter and then double-click on the program icon that appears.  Check each device to a red x, yellow! or white?  These identify devices with problems probably (drivers, but also of conflict or something else).  Click on each for more details and troubleshooting tips.  If you need to get drivers (and you should get for your mouse at the very least and I consider the keyboard as well and make sure they are compatible with your device, and your version of Vista) and all you have time to do - they can help way beyond simply solve this problem) leave the computer dealer or the manufacturer of the device (NOT of Microsoft Updates).  In fact, you must disable automatic updates in Windows Update driver as follows:http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/. Follow these steps to get the drivers: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm.  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html.

  Also, your mouse may have the functionaality to change the font sizes and jump from one end of the screen to another by doing some things.  Read the user manual and/or research through start / Control Panel / mouse to see if this is the case and if so, it may be able to be disabled.  The problem with some of these "features are that if you don't know about them they can cause difficulties when they activate for apparently no cause when you actually not what caused the feature must be enabled." It took me a while to realize the CTRL-0 would change my IE screen at 100% size and I first thought there was something wrong until I discovered the problem by chance.  I say that, because the odds of two computers with the same exact defect are astronomical - it looks more like a problem as described above or a certain type of function you are unaware of (perhaps in combination with a keyboard input that is why I suggested that you update those as well).

  I hope this helps.  If not, I am sorry to say that your best option would be to go back again to see if they can reproduce the problem (you use your way computer in case it is something you do) and either repair or replace again (or change to another computer entirely).

  Good luck!

• How to make Firefox warn me every time other software tries to install the plug-in for ff?

  If I'm confusing things noy, there was a device that a user informed of the new plug-ins insltalled by other programs.
  For example, I install VLC media player. FF plugin VLC is also installed. What I want is: next time I run firefox, a message appears asking you whether or not I want to use the new plug-in (plugin VLC).
  Sorry for my English, I thank you.

  When we announce modules, extensions, themes and plugins, we hear, it's all types of modules (if I understand what you are asking), see: disable or remove modules.

  But if you install a program outside of firefox you can not take any notice of firefox, it is not possible, as download new version of Flash player, and then install the version with firefox closed, you can not take any notice, but when you open firefox, you can see that Flash player is updated.

  Thank you

• Open in a new window at the top of list of choices rather than open the tab

  I think I would have found an add-on in the past allowed me to move the 'open new link in the window' to the top of the list instead of 'open in a new tab '. Whatever! Please can you tell me how I can do this.

  42 on Mac Firefox. El Capitan, MacBook Pro...

  Try this add-on:

  • Menu Wizard: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/s3menu-wizard/

• After update FF20, my tabs are all down along the left side, rather than at the top of the screen. How their return to the top?

  I looked at a lot in Firefox, checked my Add-ons and sought support forums, but can't find an answer. When I eject the 'options' box, 'tabs on top' are dimmed & clicking on it does nothing.

  Thank you very much for you help what can give me.

• Open the new tab more sign on the left of the tabs rather than on the right

  I'm running FF 9.01 and I just noticed the "open a new tab" plus sign is on the left side of my tabs currently open. How can I move the sign at the end of my open tabs (to the right of the tabs open)? Not sure how he got that way.

  If it works then drag all about tab this tab in the new bar window.
