Moving tabs between windows is broken.

It is on a Windows 7 64 bit computer with the latest version of Firefox (16.0.2). Older versions of Firefox have never had this problem.

If I try to drag a tab from one window to another, the original window keeps tab, but go to the tab shows nothing; the new window, the tab has been added to that shows the title of the tab as 'new tab '. In addition, nor tabs after doing so close properly without closing the entire window, they are in. Play with it too also causes Firefox to crash.

I have addons who jokes with the functionality of the tab, so I would like to know why it's broken and whether, and how, it could be fixed.

Well, I didn't have to go find my addons and install again, everywhere, because frankly it's much more difficult than to troubleshooting simply. So I tried safe mode and it works. After testing a bit it seems that Google Toolbar caused the problem, so I found a more compatible, unofficial replacement to googlebar
Thank you.

  • mass movement tabs between windows?

    The common way to access a list of all open tabs does not include a way to select multiple tabs at once. There is a list, but you can just click on a tab in the list and that changes to this tab. I often have several windows on different monitors. I want to be able to select a number of tabs at once and move them into a different firefox window. is it possible to add this feature in?

  • How can I restore my tabs and windows, open or closed, when all else fails?

    It's not so much a question, an answer that some people desperately need.

    Since the Version 34, Firefox has done a superb job to restore the tabs created by the user, application or restart Firefox (if this option is chosen).

    The details of how to restore the tabs are covered using base online and even Firefox how to deal with several accidents now (for example, as an addon) ruin the normal backup file are also well explained.

    However, today I accidentally pressed Alt + F4 twice on my keyboard ill-conceived and closed my main window, with 93 tabs and another window of Firefox as well. I'm not sure that's exactly what happened, but I lost all my tabs 93.

    I read a lot of posts where people give suggestions, but none worked. Whenever I've restored a sessionstore.js file version saw the same lonely empty tab Restoring prefs.js did nothing, and not more than to changes in internal configuration constants.

    I tried refreshing / reset Firefox (which preserves the bookmarks), but I couldn't always restore the tabs. It was now clear that the problem was in sessionstore.js (and all its backups) for sure.

    I write for people who must restore their windows or tabs and don't mind be technical on this subject. This is my situation.

    The solution was to realize that the sessionstore.js file contains the JSON code, which is an effective way to represent integers and strings arranged in a tree structure.

    I thought that there must be a JSON Editor somewhere and it turns out there is a great available online, at www.jsoneditoronline.org . It can read a file on your computer, edit it, then save it to your computer.

    As soon as I read sessionstore.js in the editor, it was obvious, easy how this was going to be. The top level of the tree is understandable. Simply, I grabbed the data representing the window with 93 tabs and dragged in the list of the closed windows of Firefox in the list of open windows. This automatically moved the history of each tab and even strings entered in forms.

    After copying sessionstore.js to Firefox profile, I started Firefox once more. Reading Pandora reported that my tabs were back and running once more.

    Now, change the JSON code isn't something that everyone is ready for. And your problem may not be reflected in the JSON tree so simply. But, for the technical spirit of people who do not want to lose their tabs or windows to a mistake or an accident, this technique may be just what it takes when all else fails.

    This seems very practical. Make itself comfortable. A kind of backup would be
    Create a folder in the Bookmarks Manager and make a list of links here.

    Just a note. The sessionstore file shows the last windows / tabs that
    are open. Because the window with 90 tabs has been closed in the first place, then the
    other, that's what caused the problem.

    Please change the title of the post by adding == solved == to it. Others may think
    you ask for help, not offering is not a solution.

  • How to share tabs between my various Firefox installations using the new system of accounts of Firefox?

    I use Firefox Nightly (2014-02-18, 30.a1, x 64) on my laptop (Windows Pro 8.1 x 64) and I was using Firefox Beta on my Nexus 5 (Android 4.4.2). Recently, Mozilla announced the new system of accounts of Firefox (which replaces the old Firefox Sync account) and I created an account of Firefox for my computer laptop installation every night. Because the new account in Firefox does not work with the old Firefox Sync account, I replaced my installation Android of the beta version of Firefox with Firefox Nightly and signed account Firefox on my Android. However, when I try to send a tab of my Android installation to my installation of laptop using intend to 'Share for every night', every night asking me to implement a sync account, which is impossible to fill in my computer laptop system every night. I tried to replace my Android installation every night with an Android Aurora facility, but the same problem occurs.

    What's worse, is that even with my laptop and Android facilities signed on the same account in Firefox, I'm not all information is synchronized between 2 facilities. No story is shared, and I don't see the list of tabs opened from the other device. I can't move tabs between my phone and my laptop, which is something I've used every week I visited websites and read that my RSS FEED on my phone. Does anyone know how to share tabs using Firefox's new accounts? Does anyone know why Firefox accounts doesn't seem to be synchronization of data between my 2 installations?

    Hi gfactor:

    An update on this issue. I think that this (965811) was fixed in Firefox Beta 29.

    Please try beta if you have some time (just search for Firefox Beta on the google play and then install firefox beta) and let us know if Firefox 29 beta sendtab now works for you.
    
  • I need to share files between windows xp and Windows 7

    I am unable to share files between Windows XP Home Edition and Windows 7 Ultimate edition

    I have a wireless router and my two computers are connected on it.

    Please give me detailed guidelines on how to share files between them.

    Here are the steps of general network troubleshooting. Just cannot apply to your situation, so just take the bits that are. It may seem daunting, but if you follow the steps in the links and suggestions below calmly and consistently, you will have no difficulty to implement your sharing.

    Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused by 1) a misconfigured firewall or a firewall neglected (including a dynamic firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently run two firewalls such as the firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall. and/or (3) do not have accounts to the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup. (4) tries to create actions where the operating system does not.

    In Windows 7, go to control panel > everything in Control Panel > network and sharing Center. Click on "change the advanced sharing settings. You don't want to use the residential group unless you have all Windows 7 machines. If you do and you want to use the homegroup, see Windows 7 Help & Support. Otherwise, in sharing advanced:

    Discovery of plug in the network
    Open the files and printers sharing
    Turn on the sharing section Public folder sharing
    Plug the password protected sharing

    A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, running on Windows 7 sharing files and printer as above will take care of this for you. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus/security with its own firewall component program, then you're fine.  With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Refer to the safety of any third party program or the user forums for how to correctly configure its firewall. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

    (B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This is done from the System applet in Control Panel, the computer name tab.

    C. create the counterpart of the user accounts and passwords on all machines. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to boot directly to the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you can do this:

    Start > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
    Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

    Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

    D. Si one or more of the computers on your network are XP Pro or Media Center, turn off Simple file sharing (Folder Options > view tab).

    E. create share as you wish. In Windows 7 I usually share the Desktop of the user and the Public directory.

    F. you have the job of file sharing (and tested by exchanging a file between machines), if you want to share a printer connected locally to one of your computers, share of this machine. Then go to the printer mftr Web site. and download the latest drivers for the correct system. Install them on the target machines. The printer must be collected during the installation procedure. If this isn't the case, install the drivers and then use the Add Printer Wizard. In some cases, printers must be installed as local printers, but it is outside this response.

  • Lack the "Switch between Windows" button in my Quick Launch toolbar

    From: Daz 150969

    I don't have the button tab in the taskbar in order to operate the Aero of the computer part. My card under windows is 5.9. I can run aero if one press tab, ctrl and windows key and it work very well, but I think that there should be a button on the tab in the taskbar?

    From: Andrew McLaren

    The "Switch between Windows" button in the toolbar quick launch is enabled by a file called "Window Switcher.lnk" in your Quick Launch folder. If this file is missing, the icon does not appear in the Quick Launch toolbar.

    You are probably missing this file and need to replace it.

    You can get a copy of the original file here:

    "C:\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\Window Switcher.lnk"

    This place is normally hidden in Explorer (you won't see it).

    To put it on your own toolbar quick launch, go to a command prompt and enter these commands (replace "" with your real username, of course!  :-) -

    C:\>CD C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

    C:\Users\launch \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick > copy "C:\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\Window Switcher.lnk.

    You should see a "1 file (s) copied" message when the file is copied successfully. Then type "exit" to exit the command prompt.

    The "Switch between Windows" icon now needs re - appear in your quick launch menu.

    It will be useful,

    Hi, I lost the "switch between windows" button of the toolbar quick launch, how can I restore it?

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    Dasepo salvation,

    Here are the instructions for the program shortcut "switch between windows" returned the fell on the Quick Launch toolbar:

    First of all, make sure you that you must show hidden files and folders active. Here's how:

    Go to: Start/Control Panel folder Options/configuration and select the 'view' tab select "Show hidden folders and files under the section files and folders hidden from advanced settings".

    Then you can get the file from quicklaunch default section. This location of file is here:

    C:\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

    You can paste this link into the search bar (Ctrl-Esc). When you get to this place, you will find the 'switch between client.lnk' which you can then drag directly to the Windows Orb and it going bust in the Quick Launch bar.

    There is no difference in the product itself.

    Although if you get a generic OEM full version, it contains the
    even software, it has the following disadvantages compared to the
    commercial version:

    1. the biggest drawback of an OEM version (at least in the USA) is
    that its license it permanently binds to the first computer, it is
    installed on. He can never legally be moved to another computer, sold,
    or given (except with the original computer). If the computer
    dies or is stolen, your license dies with him.

    2. he can't do a clean install, not an upgrade.

    3 Microsoft offers no support for OEM versions. You cannot call their
    with a problem, but rather to secure the necessary support of your
    OEM; who take in charge may go anywhere between property and non-existent. Or
    You can get support elsewhere, like in these forums.

  • How to drag and drop nodes to tab between the components of the tab

    I'm working on this tutorial example ( feature drag - move in the JavaFX Applications |) JavaFX tutorials and Documentation 2 ). Based on the tutorial I want to drag tabs between two tabs. So far, I have managed to create this code, but I need help to complete the code.

    Source

    tabPane = new TabPane();
    Tab tabA = new Tab();
       Label tabALabel = new Label("Main Component");
    
    
    tabPane.setOnDragDetected(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>()
            {
                @Override
                public void handle(MouseEvent event)
                {
                    /* drag was detected, start drag-and-drop gesture*/
                    System.out.println("onDragDetected");
    
                    /* allow any transfer mode */
                    Dragboard db = tabPane.startDragAndDrop(TransferMode.ANY);
    
                    /* put a string on dragboard */
                    ClipboardContent content = new ClipboardContent();
                    content.put(DataFormat.PLAIN_TEXT, tabPane);
                    db.setContent(content);
    
                    event.consume();
                }
            });
    

    What is the correct way to insert the contents of the tab as an object? In the tutorial simple text is transferred. How do I change this line content.put(DataFormat.PLAIN_TEXT, tabPane); ?

    And what is the right way to insert the tab after that I drag the tab:

    Destination


    tabPane.setOnDragDropped(new EventHandler<DragEvent>()
            {
                @Override
                public void handle(DragEvent event)
                {
                    /* data dropped */
                    /* if there is a string data on dragboard, read it and use it */
                    Dragboard db = event.getDragboard();
                    boolean success = false;
                    if (db.hasString())
                    {
                        //tabPane.setText(db.getString());
                        Tab tabC = new Tab();
                        tabPane.getTabs().add(tabC);
                        success = true;
                    }
                    /* let the source know whether the string was successfully
                     * transferred and used */
                    event.setDropCompleted(success);
    
                    event.consume();
                }
            });
    



    I guess that this transfer is possible?

    REF javafx 2 - How to drag and drop nodes between the components of the tab - stack overflow tab

    I use a graphic (instead of text) for tabs and call setOnDragDetected on this chart. That way you know which tab is moved. There is no nice way to put the tab itself in the dragboard because it is not serializable (see https://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-29082), so you'll want to probably just store currently slipped into a property tab.

    Here's a quick example; It only add the tab at the end of the existing tabs in the pane has fallen. If you want to insert it in the location that is closest to the actual drop you probably browse the tabs and find details of chart of each tab, or something.
