Problem opening 26.0 Firefox from the Windows 7 taskbar.

I have Firefox pinned to the taskbar in Windows 7 on the bottom of my screen. I use a desktop PC. Most of the time, when I click the icon it opens Firefox without any problems. However, occasionally, when first, I turn on my computer and click on the Firefox icon in the taskbar, it gets highlighted but does not appear the little circle and the highlight fades without opening the browser. When that happens, I can not yet turned off my computer without pressing the button on the tower. This happens only the first time that I open the browser in the morning, and it seems to happen every two weeks. Any thoughts on what is happening? I just had a virus removal made, so that shouldn't be the problem.

  • Why doesn't Firefox support the Windows 7 taskbar properly.

    Firefox does not work in static form of the Windows 7 taskbar button. When you close the main window of Firefox, the downloads window stays open. Because it is a Firefox window still open, you cannot start an another main Firefox window without first close the downloads window. It is against the expectations of the design of the Windows 7 task bar.

    This has happened

    Each time Firefox opened

    == I installed Firefox on Windows 7

    Double clicking on the icon of Firefox on the desktop (or by using the start menu) will allow another "main" window of Firefox to open - even if the download window is still open.

    This problem is fixed in the latest alpha of Firefox versions, so that the 'hand' last window is closed leave the application - even if windows as downloads are still active. (This will be fixed in Firefox 4.0, because updates minor Firefox only to solve problems of stability and security and not to introduce new behaviors)

  • How to open a new tab from the window with a single white (or other)?

    I'm embarrassed to ask what should be a simple question. I want to open a new window without containing all of the tabs in my homepage - a single tab, empty, or Mozilla or Google or something. I'm tired of having to close manually the 30 - something tabs in my homepage.

    Several solutions for this.
    (I am not sure you are trying to do or to prevent).

    • change what's in your homepage

      • set to open only a couple of tabs and one of those who make a blank page
        tabs are separated by the vertical bar that is vertical (possibly split) symbol |
    • Open your previous tabs instead of the whole home page
    • change the options to open new sites in a new window instead of a new tab

  • Why the title bar on Firefox and the Windows 7 taskbar let distorted image when a list of folders crosses one or the other?

    I use a lot of folders in my bookmarks list. I noticed that with AMD and Nvidia cards based on video, that if I use a folder in my bookmarks list that a lot, a lot of bookmarks, the bookmark list will cross the box title bar of Firefox and the taskbar in Windows 7 and down. When this happens, the title bar on Firefox versions 8-10 and the taskbar at the bottom let images from the list of bookmarks which do not disappear (at least that I have use F11 mode full screen to clear away from the image and bring it back to normal). If I use a Matrox video card, it doesn't. Why is this?

    I just reinstalled XP pro and I can't get the updates from the windows update web site. Whats up with this please help

    There is no way that anyone might be able to help without more. My initial guess and it is just a guess, is that you have to update Internet Explorer .v8. Click HERE and download IE8 and install it. Try again updates once the installation is complete.

  • on my laptop running windows 7 more information disappeared from the window - topics (file, publishing, display, etc.), address bar and navigation buttons - everything I can see tabs - how do the lack of points to display

    Missing on my laptop running windows 7, all the info displayed at the top of the home page. All headings, i. e. file, change the view etc. disappeared. There is no address bar. There is no "home button", the button refresh, etc.. My wife was using the machine when it happened, so I don't know what she was doing. How to restore these features?

    most of the information has disappeared from the window - topics (file, publishing, display, etc.), address bar and navigation buttons

    When all the toolbars are missing, you are probably in full screen view, press F11 to toggle mode full-screen, or you can move the cursor to the top of the screen.

    The real problems you describe all set thanks to an extension and customization, see 01:10 steps later...

    You can make Firefox 5.0 looks not like Firefox 3.6.19, see numbered 1 to 10 points in the next topic difficulty Firefox 4.0 UI toolbar, problems (Make Firefox 5.0, or 4.0.1 resemble 3.6). If you make changes, you must be aware of what has changed and what it takes to use changed or missing features.

    It is much more beyond these first 10 steps in the list, if you want to make Firefox more functional.

    Toolbars and their contents have been rearranged and buttons have been merged dual-use, the net result is that I could see about 25% of what I had before and recorded about 10% of the area of the toolbar with great loss of functionality to hide things that might already be hidden and to create confusing buttons that already have keyboard shortcuts and don't need to be seen. The only good thing that has been ' Ctrl + / ' has been added to hide/show the modules bar that has not replaced the status bar.

  • Problems opening Captivate 5.5 after the promotion of Canadian artists

    Hi there forum,

    When closing a 5.5 today Captivate project, he asked if I wanted to save the file. I said yes. The backup procedure, the project started and the progression of Captivate box appeared as he went through all of his techniques of compression etc to close the project. He finished recording and closed my project folder and the progress box, missing, but just before the hull of closed real Captivate completely out of my screen all of a sudden my laptop blue-armored.

    No problem, this laptop has had a few before TCTC during its lifetime, (not much, but it happened) and then restarts and starts ok. Only this time, Captivate 5.5 does not start. Big problem! Just to confirm, I've been using Captivate 5.5 for a few years now, never had problems of memory PC or similar and Captivate 5.5 performed seamlessly on this laptop for the same amount of time. I also have administrator rights.

    OK, so restarted the computer ok. Am going to open my file project, and within 2 seconds to open my file .cptx I get a windows error saying Adobe, "Adobe Captivate has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. "Also on this message box is the standard"Tell Microsoft about the problem", a Debug button, the send error report button, don't send button, and also" to see what data this error report, click here"---> then I click and open another window with then gives me the error signature.

    Said from the window of error signature AppName: adobecaptivate.exe AppVer: 5.5.0.257 ModName: cpdatabase.dll ModVer: 5.5.0.257 Offset: 0002c3f6. There is an option to find out all the technical details on the problem that opens just the channels and channels of information like a log that really means nothing to me. OK, so I closed it. In addition, the Debug button does nothing, so not really sure why it exists... it's like a false hope, lol.

    Okay, so first of all, I thought I thought that my .cptx file has been damaged during the process of backup/close when the PC crashed. So I went to open a project different .cptx file to see if it worked, but unfortunately it didn't, same error pops up. Then I sailed in c: / / Program Files/Adobe/Captivate 5.5 and I tried hard launch the adobecaptivate.exe file from there. NUP, still the same error.

    OK, while I restarted my pc a couple of times to see if it would refresh all my directories and tried again, again, same error on any file from Cap5.5 to .cptx.

    Then I was thinking to find a suitable system restore point and try that. Returned one, then two days of restore system without success points. Same error when opening my files .cptx.

    Then install thought to reinstall Captivate 5.5 on the existing, thinking it might be damaged file in the directory of the executable, and if all goes well a new facility would correct the problem. Makes installation, rebooted and tried to open my project .cptx file. Still the same error appeared.

    Was really bad now. Press forums. The only other thing I could find via a brief search has a solution to remove all fonts to remove from the directory of c: / / Windows/fonts as previous problems had reported problems with third-party fonts. OK, so deleted all fonts that I have and then tried to open my file .cptx. Yet, the same error occurred, but this time in a police different, ha! Redo all my fonts as it wasn't too the solution.

    Then I tried to open my Captivate 5.5 project file .cptx with just Captivate 5. OK, Captivate 5 opens, but then I get the error about cannot open the file because it is open elsewhere etc... so I put that down to the backward compatibility and Cap5 will not be able to open projects Cap5.5. But at least now I know for sure, Captivate 5 opens and works. Tried that several times just to make sure, so it is certainly a problem of 5.5.

    Otherwise, my only hope was to try to uninstall 5.5 Cap completely and then reinstall 5.5 all together, but I thought I would check here everything first to see if there is a much simpler solution.

    So here I am now, hoping someone may have ideas for me. In my opinion, I've exhausted all reasonable to my own skills of PC and knowledge to deal with this kind of problem, so I really hope I can get support.

    I am pleased to send screenshots, log files, or even to join a remote desktop session to get this sort. I use all authentic Cap5 copies and 5.5 with serials real all on a real laptop, and Yes, my problem is authentic

    I'm a little stressed I have some deliverables by Monday and I know that it's the weekend!

    Thanks in advance!

    See you soon
    Kurt

    Hi Kurt,.

    Please try to rename the following file so that Captivate 5.5 is closed

    [ Windows Vista and Windows 7: C:\Users\[user name] \AppData\Local\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 5.5folder

    Windows XP:  Record of Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe Captivate [user name] 5.5 C:\Documents and Settings\

    Then try to launch Captivate and check if the error persists.

    ------------------------------

    Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

    Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
    launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
    reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

    Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leave the file system, Web,.
    Operational network (Script and behavior are also recommended in Ver 6 +).

    Prevx - Home - free

    Windows Firewall

    Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

    Protected IE - mode

    IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

    I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
    (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
    right of IE)

    Two versions of Avast are available 6.x and 4.8 x

    Avast - home - free - 6.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
    Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
    Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
    Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
    disabled - click OK
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

    Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
    and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
    Finish those you don't use).
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

    Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

    Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

    Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
    programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
    or use Google to see how to remove.
    http://www.prevx.com/   <-->

    Choice of PCmag editor - Prevx-
    http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

    Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
    would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
    (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
    never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

  • How can I boot from the Windows 7 Installation CD so that I can reformat the hard drive before reinstalling Windows 7?

    How can I boot from the Windows 7 Installation CD so that I can reformat the hard drive before reinstalling Windows 7?  I have already reinstalled Windows 7 from the CD, but that has not solved my problems.  When I put the factory CD in my CD player, it won't always boot from the CD.  When I put my Windows 7 Ultimate CD in the CD drive, it doesn't always start from the CD.         I realize that the reformatting is not always necessary, but I caught a few viruses (despite anti-virus running) and I need to start with a clean hard drive.

    You must go into the BIOS and change the boot on CD order
    first push.

    How to get into your BIOS? It is not dependent on Windows, but on what he
    motherboard/BIOS card that you have. In fact, you need access to the
    BIOS before Windows begins to start. A common method is to press
    the key delete when you turn on first, but this is not necessarily true
    for your computer. Watch the display carefully when you start first;
    There is often a message here to tell you what to do. If this is not the case, check
    your system documentation or check with your provider.
