Tabs in Firefox and windows seem to be related

When I open a new tab in Firefox, a new window also opens the new window seems to be the new tab, and when I close the new window, the new tab is closed. I would have rather than a Firefox window open with all the tabs and not several tabs and multiple windows, each for a tab.

When you open a new tab by pressing Ctrl + t on the keyboard or by clicking on the button '+' on the tab bar, Firefox should open the new tab at the end of the tab bar in the same window. If it opens by itself in a new window, this is definitely not normal.

For the button "+", Firefox may be misreading of the keyboard. In other words, it behaves as if the SHIFT key is down. Try typing the SHIFT key repeatedly to force Windows to re-read the State of the keys.

If you mean on the Windows task bar, there is a setting for this: you can turn off the display of the individual tabs it in the Options dialog box:

"3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > tabs

Uncheck the box 'Show glimpses of tab in the Windows task bar.

  • Tabs, windows and lost after updating to Firefox and page seems gross

    I don't think that you have respect for those who use Firefox. Do you understand how many of us work for the House and need this platform to work for our COMPANY? I think you play games with users, at our expense.

    So furious that I must try to solve your problems when I have to work. Last night you gave me a message to try to refresh. You said that everything would be saved.

    I TRUSTED YOU. Available on the page at the top has been terrible, and I don't know where my addons went. Still, it seems impractical. but at least my tabs were all there.

    Today, you have LOST ALL MY TABS except the ones pinned. All the windows gone, too. I copied the sqlt places of my old Firefox Desktop data to the new folder AppData profile several times. Never worked. FF just kept coming back to show me the pinned tabs.

    Really, you evaluate these things first? I want to completely delete this useless refresh and come back when things worked.
    WPA

    Please, take a deep breath. Now:

    There is no way one click to cancel a refresh, but here is a procedure to return to your prior to refresh the data. It takes 5 minutes, but it's perhaps faster than the recovery of individual files and load those into your new profile.

    Check in the folder 'Old data Firefox' update adds a folder with a random semi name on your desktop. If there is only one, that probably has your old settings and Add-ons. If there is more than one, you'll want to work with one who has been updated recently.

    Once you have identified the profile folder, that you want to restore, here is my "old profile resurrection suggested procedure:

    Overview

    Here are the steps described in more detail below:

    1. Create a new Firefox profile
    2. Delete all of this profile folder
    3. Copy in all of the old profile folder

    Create a new profile for Firefox (Windows)

    Exit Firefox completely and start up in the Profile Manager by pasting the following text in the search box of the start menu, or the start > Run dialog box and pressing ENTER:

    firefox.exe -P
    

    Note: any time want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog box.

    Click on the button create a profile, give it a name like OldSettings and skip the option to change the location of the folder. Select the new profile from the dialog box, and then start Firefox.

    Open the new profile folder in Windows Explorer

    Firefox in the new profile should look like a new installation of the plant. Open the troubleshooting information page by using either:

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
    • Menu help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

    In the first table, click on the view file"" button. Firefox will launch your new profile folder in Windows Explorer.

    This folder open, switch back to Firefox and get out by using either:

    • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
    • (menu bar) File > Exit

    Firefox is closed, the profile folder must be front and Center, or you can activate it by using the taskbar.

    Copy old data instead of new

    In this new profile folder you just popped open - NOT the one on your desktop - select all content (you can use Ctrl + a) and delete (you can press Delete on the keyboard).

    Leave this window open, open or switch to your folder of old data of Firefox. Consult your old profile folder. At this level, you should see a folder named bookmarkbackups among other things.

    Select all (Ctrl + a) and copy (or right-click > copy or Ctrl + c).

    Switch to the empty profile folder in another window and paste (or right-click > paste or Ctrl + v). This may take a few minutes because some files are large.

    Launch Firefox

    Firefox should start in this 'new' profile with the old resurrected profile data. Success?

  • Can someone tell me why, when I click on the icon of Group of tabs in Firefox for Windows 8, it will not open my screen group?

    I use Firefox for Windows XP Pro service Pack 3 8. I've been using tab groups for some time, but this morning I can't screen the Group tab at all. No error message or another indication of the problem. I leave Firefox and tried to not restart, no help. I rebooted my system and restarted Firefox, no help. I reinstalled Firefox 8, no help. I tried to install Firefox 9.01, no help. Returned to 8, no help. At that point, I stopped to report this issue.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

  • Used to have under the file dropdown functionality to close the tab of Firefox and my latest version is not.

    When I'm on a web site and want to return to the previous page, the arrow is grayed out and is the only way that I can go back to exit Firefox and then return by opening it again.
    Am I missing the way to return to the previous page?

    Some menu entries in the main menu bar are hidden if you are using the mouse and only appear if you use the keyboard to open the menu (Bug 626825).

    You can see the difference if you use Alt + F to open the file menu and other menus such as the Edit (Alt + E) menu and the menu bookmark (Alt + B) and compare that to what you see, if you use the mouse to open the menu after the bar of menus visible by typing Alt or by pressing F10.

  • WRT54GL and Windows 7 log in question

    I have a network of several PC on my WRT54GL router - firmware 4.30.14 building 5, October 26, 2009

    All PC's are XP SP3 except a Win 7 PC

    When I access my WRT54GL from all of my XP computers, I connect at once and I'm done. I can access all the pages then configuration.

    When I connect with my Win 7 computer, I get the security pop Windows window whenever I click on a page or a new tab.
    I can see all of the pages and tabs without problem once I get the password again, but it's really annoying that he keeps asking

    for the log information for each new item, I click on.

    Checking her memorize my box of credentials is not good, it always ask again and again

    This is my first Windows 7 computer, not sure how to stop this behavior annoying.

    Any help on this is appreciated

    This is the window that will open all the time

    This seems to be a question of IE9

    I saw just the router with Firefox and Windows 7

    He only asked for username and password once and I was able to browse all the pages without further asked for info, log in.

    I'll go ahead and mark it as a solution because it seems a problem of IE9
