Open a new tab opens a new tab and new window in double - how can this be corrected?
When a new tab is opened (by any method-'ctrl t' etc - a new tab opens, but also a new window which is a duplicate of the window active.) Assistance to resolve this would be most appreciated.
Please try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:
- Click the menu button
click Help
then select restart with disabled modules.
If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:
- On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
- On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
- On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
(you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."
If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in 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.

Windows Vista Home Edition suddenly not open attachments. How can this be corrected?
I can't open attachments in the email in the "MAIL" program in Vista Home Premium
Hello, tubifex
Please use the Forum for answers!
I'm moving your post on the forum of programs.
What kind of attachments you are trying to open?
What is the exact error message you get?
Have you installed any programs or updates before this has stopped working?Are you able to open the offending file type in Windows directly?
If this started recently, you can try to do a system restore. This will restore the filesystem to a previous point in time. Go to start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, open system restore and choose a date before the problem started.
We can't wait to hear back on your part.

I created a new computer yesterday that runs windows 8.
I downloaded Firefox, then added tree style tabs and colourful tabs after which I powered off for the night. Today on rebooting and opening up Firefox I find that I have a vertical grey bar between my tabs (and same width as them) and the Firefox page. There is no right click options within that large grey area - and of course it's pushing my pages off the right hand side of the screen. How do I get rid of this blasted thing?????? Pete
I had this problem, but it was because I had two tree Style tabs and Vertical both installed. Once I removed the vertical tabs, the gray bar went away.

Before today, when I clicked on the '+' opens a new tab. She is no longer doing this. However, when I open the file and click on 'New tab' it opens fine. I don't have the "Ask Toolbar" as far as I know (this has been mentioned as a problem before). What can be done to fix this? Thank you.
Can't really tell if it was useful or not. Before I had the answer, I rebooted and the problem disappeared. I appreciate the quick response and it will keep on file for future reference if the problem happens again.

I was a member of MSN Hotmail for over 18 years and never had this problem.
I just changed my password for security reasons. And when I log in, it does not recognize the lowercase or uppercase, or a mix of them my password. This makes my weak password. And I want a strong password. Is it a stroke of luck. I have 2 accounts. A MSN and Hotmail. I have no problem with the Hotmail account. But with the MSN account, no matter how I type my password, he accepts it and opened my account.
Please answer my question. I tried for 2 days to get some kind of response. It doesn't matter if I use my computer at work or my computer at home. It does the same thing. One is Windows 7 and the other is Windows XP.
Please help me.

I downloaded a new XI Acrobat on the new computer.
Validation screens indicate that SN is valid.
In fact, it's on the same machine. I did just replace the
hard drive.
The validation dialog box requires a SN of earlier versions that
I also have. None of the products mentioned are the ones I had.
Finally, I have the original email receipt / registration to Adobe and download
directions which included my serial number XI. Directions
having worked in the past. They do not work now.
What is going on?
m
Hi mak1006,
Because you bought 11 Acrobat Pro upgrade, during installation the Setup program will try to find the previous version of qualification you OE and if it does not find one then you prompt to enter the old serial number.
You must select Acrobat Pro 10 (as it is the product that you owned before) and enter the serial number.
The installer must recognize and continue the installation process.
Let me know if you get stuck at any point.
Kind regards
Rave

When I click on a link in a new tab is no longer open in Firefox. Now, I have to copy the link, manually open a tab and then paste the link. Simply, this started happening a few days ago and I haven't changed anything in my settings. Can anyone help? Thank you
This problem may be caused by an extension that is not working properly.
Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions of the origin of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).
- Makes no changes on the start safe mode window.

The problem is: the folder options are correct. They are set to "open each folder in the same window. So I guess this is a new bug in Vista.
Y at - it someone here with the same problems and maybe a solution?
See you soon
You can try to restore Windows back to a previous working state, and then disabling the updates so that it works this way.
Step 1: To restore Windows to a previous state (before defective updates):
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-is-system-restore (open the link and follow the instructions).
Step 2: To disable the automatic updates (so the update defective will not be reinstalled):
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/turn-automatic-updating-on-or-off (in step 3, select 'Off').
WARNING: It is not recommended and sometimes even dangerous to disable automatic updates, because they improve the security and reliability of Windows. If the procedures above solves your problem, this means that an update was the likely cause.
Please report back with your results. Then we can reactivate the automatic updates, but block the update that causes this problem.

This procedure will reset the configuration of your dashboard to the default value.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Please triple - click anywhere in the line below on this page to select:
defaults delete com.apple.dashboard layer-gadgets && killall Dock
Copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination.
Launch the Terminal application integrated in one of the following ways:

Paste in the Terminal window by pressing the command-V key combination. I tested these instructions only with the Safari browser. If you use another browser, you may need to press the return key after pasting.
Wait for a new line ending with a dollar sign ($) below what you entered. You can then quit Terminal. Test.
