Strange window/tab at the bottom of page... Locked by the employer!

My employer has this setting that creates a window in the bottom 1/3 of the firefox page. It is similar to the dev tool window but different.
Please help me to get rid of this.

In case one of your extensions creates this strange area, you can test the page Firefox Safe Mode? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
  • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still works

After stops in Firefox, a small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not reset).

Any difference?

If this does not help, try to see again your plugins for a potential problem: the plugins that modify the user interface can cause problems when the option "prompt to activate." If they are useful, you can always set 'enable' and if you don't know what they are for, you can set it to "never activate. You will need to exit and restart Firefox back to see the effect.

You can manage your plugins on the page modules. Either:

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

In the left column, click on Plugins.

  • How to replace a new window tab of the start page of Mozilla Firefox and have the page with quick links to Web sites visited more come instead?

    I want my new tab page to have thumbnails of the sites I visit most. I can't find the way to do this. So I have Mozilla Firefox start page.

    You mean a new tab (Ctrl + t) and not a new window (Ctrl + n), right? You should be able to change this in Firefox on: preferences of configuration editor. Please note that add-ons can replace it, so if your change is taken into account, you should review your add-ons (extensions, including).

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the filter box, type or paste newtab and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the preference browser.newtab.url and enter the desired value:

    (i) (default) Page thumbnails

    about:newtab
    

    (ii) Virgin tab

    about:blank
    

    (iii) integrated Firefox home page

    about:home
    

    (iv) any other page

    full URL to the page

  • Open a new window (tab)

    I have a project set to open in a new window (tab), it does. The problem is that the focus does not move to the new window (tab). The current film remains "on top". Other web links that open a new window to divert the attention of the new window. Is it possible to do this? Thank you!

    I think it is completely a function of your browser settings. Check
    browser preferences and see if the tabs are set to be active or load
    in the background.
    However, you specify that links sites bring the new tab in the foreground.
    I don't know why this would be inconsistent... but sure it is
    Captivate can do it... (?)

  • How to prevent the FF31 opening new window? I want to open all links in a new tab at the top of page.

    I think the following quote, below, for help on the page is my problem.

    I have a site that I use when I click on a link in the Web site it opens a new window with the tab down. In addition, when this happens, I lose the orange rectangle FireFox, bookmarks and navigation options. How can I define FF31 so that the link opens in a new tab, and I keep all my options? I use Classic theme restaurateur 1.2.3. I also note that, in the new window, I lose the ability to use some of the addons.

    I have two laptops and both are running FF31 and W7. One of them works perfectly and the other is having this problem. As far as I can tell they are both defined by the same. The only difference is that when I upgraded to FF31 they both had difference older versions of FireFox. I also read in the help forum that maybe I need to go back to FireFox 28 to accomplish what I am trying to accomplish.

    I noticed that when I'm going under: config that the version of FF that does not work unless options compared to the version that works. An example would be that the working version has 'browser.tabs.onTop' where, on the other computer laptop is missing.

    > > > open new windows in a new tab instead: this option controls whether links from other applications or from web pages which request to open them in a new window opens in a new window or a new tab in the most recent window.
    Note: If you have chosen to open pages in new tabs, Firefox will ignore this option and opens a new window from a link if the page author specified that the new window must have a specific size, because some pages cannot be displayed correctly to a specific size. < < <

    Thanks in advance for any help,
    Yeto

    You can override how the links are opened through the browser.link.open_newwindow.override preference.

    Use it for links opened via JavaScript.

  • I need to open the web site even in two separate tabs. Since I've upgraded to Firefox 6 when I try to open the web page in a new tab in the list in the drop down in the address window it gives that the opportunity to move to the already open tab.

    When I get off the fall from the address window, rather than display the URL of the Web site I want to open in a second tab says "switch to the tab '. But I don't want to move to the tab - I want to open a second tab on the same URL. If I want to open it a second time, I have to manually enter the address. Is it possible to turn off this option so that I can open the second tab by using the same address in the drop-down menu? I was always able to do this with the previous versions of Firefox.

  • I want tabs on the bottom. Instructions say go to the Firefox tab at the top of the page. There is no such tab &amp; I can't change it from tools &gt; options.

    I just installed FF 5.0 & info page says to change the back legs, go to the Firefox tab at the top of page and click on options. There is no such tag on my page. Also if the guy in the video tutorial on why it is 'better' has spoken clearly and about 50 miles an hour slower, maybe I could understand what he was saying. You have a lot of glitches tight now.

    -> click on Firefox-> go to Options--> deselection tabs on top

    OR

    -> Tap ALT key or press F10 to display the Menu bar

    -> go to Menu view-> toolbars-> deselection tabs on top

  • If I have a small Firefox page I can not open a NEW page. He let me just open a new tab on the reduced page

    If I have a small Firefox page I can not open a NEW page. He let me just open a new tab on the reduced page. I used to be able to open a new page in browser icon on my desktop, but for these last days, it won't let me. It is a desktop computer, running Windows 7. Everything is up-to-date.

    Hi Deb, it's hard for me to test it personally because I've pinned the shortcut of Firefox to the taskbar, which changes its behavior, and when I remove it, I don't fit my desktop icon. (?!)

    Anyway, as a temporary workaround solution while we sort out this point, you can use the 'Skip' list: right click on the Firefox icon in the task bar and choose 'Open a new fenΩtre' that should certainly generate a separate window and not only a new tab in the existing window. Normally works?

    Firefox has a hidden setting that you might try to change to see if it makes a difference. Normally, when you open a link in another program, it opens in a new tab in the last window of Firefox, that you used. Your what's doing? I propose changing the setting so that the link must open in a new window to see if it has an impact on this problem.

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the filter box, type or paste link.o and make a pause so that the list is filtered.

    (3) double-click the preference browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external and set its value to 2 and click OK.

    The possible values for this preference are as follows:

    -1 = follow your settings in the Options for new tabs vs new windows (default)
    3 = open external links in a new tab in the last active window
    2 = open external links in a new window
    1 = open external links in the last active tab replaces the current page

    There are a few other similar named preferences, so be sure to change one that has 'external' in the name.

    Any difference?

  • define new tabs to the home page (subject: config does not work)

    I updated my home page the newtab in: config, there used to work but now it doesn't. I get a blank page or story. Help! all I want is my home page.

    The pref browser.newtab.url is no longer supported in Firefox 41 and later, so you can no longer use this to set the new tab page.

    You can watch this extension to set the new tab page:

    You can set the parameter URL new tab through Options/preferences of the extension on the subject: addons page.

    Look at this extension to use the homepage:

    Restorer of classic theme includes this feature as well.
    In the version 1.3.9 CTR you can find the "new tab page url" in the window tabs (1).

    You can use these special pages for the new tab page or use the URL of a web page.
    the new default tab with the tiles page is on: newtab

    • the default homepage is Subject: Home
    • to a blank page, you can use Subject: vacuum
    • Super Start, you can use topic: superstart

    I made an update to 17 of the Mint, after that I have only 3 tabs on the tab page. I can't add more . Is this permanent?

    Why Firefox reduced the number of tabs on the tab page? He was 9 at the beginning of the page, now only 3.

    I would like to at least, so mobile 12 can have this why not safe?

    Thanks
    

    Hi, I'm not familiar with Linux, but this does not work in Windows, so it can help to point you in the right direction: you can change the number of tiles on the new tab in the zoom Page forward or back.

    You can also keep the same zoom setting when a new tab is clicked: Type Subject: config in the address bar, press ENTER, accept the warning, scroll to browser.newtab.preload and double-click on it to change the 'value' of true to False.

    It is also possible about: config to change the maximum number of tiles, scrolling to the browser.newtabpage.columns (or Rows), then right-click > modify to set a new number of 'value '.

    As an alternative, you might like to try the add-on new tab tools.
