When I open a link that opens a new Firefox window, it opens 2 tabs instead of one. How can I stop this?
When I open a link that opens a new Firefox window, it opens 2 tabs instead of one. A tab is the link that I opened and the second tab is just a generic Mozilla tab with links to 12 pages like Facebook, Youtube, etc. This tab opens on top too, so I always have to close to get what I'm looking for. How can I stop this from happening?
Hello. Thanks for all the posts on this topic. I have the same problem, as described by the op. But, while I use Avast, I have NOT the add-on from Astromenda which has been mentioned. However, I have the SB installed toolbar, and it has been recently updated, 29/12. I suspect that it is the culprit, if this problem is in fact not caused by an update of Firefox (my tiles have recently been reset on new tabs, and I suspect that Firefox for this problem).
I am ready to remove the toolbar from the SB, but prefer to keep it (Yes, I admit I'm stupid) If this annoying 'new window = 2 tabs with 'new tab' at the top' would just leave.
Apart from the removal of the toolbar SB... does anyone have suggestions? I don't see that all recently added add-ons/extensions that I don't recognize, apart from the update of the toolbar of SB.
Updated: 5 minutes after this announcement, I disabled the toolbar of SB and restarted Firefox. No change.

This happens regardless of what program I'm in French - Excel, Outlook or Adobe. I click on the "print" key expected him to go all straight to the printer, but instead I print priview & then have to click print again & then post again.
For the Office programs, you should be able to use Add the Quick Print icon on the Quick Access toolbar. Click the arrow to the right of the QUICK access bar, select 'More commands' FRO the drop-down menu, change the menu drop-down "choose the controls of" in 'Commands not in the Ribbon' or 'Orders', scroll down to "Quick print" in the order list, select "Quick Print", and then click Add. The icon to the position where you want to see in the QUICK access bar, and then click OK. I don't know if the program that you use Adobe has a similar capacity because you do not say what type of program you use. Adobe is a company, not a request. Adobe applications are 'Adobe Reader', 'Adobe Acrobat', 'Adobe Flash Player', etc..
In addition, you must always specify your Windows version when viewing and posting in the right forum.

When I start most of the programs that is lock and on the taskbar it says program does not. How can I stop this from happening?
Original title: Windows Explorer
It is a good number with a boot drive (C:\ drive) that is cruelly of free space.
A healthy walk NEEDS 20% free space at least to work properly and prevent your suspension system.
Several causes are possible, but check your free space. Upgrade your hard drive if necessary.
More RAM might help too.
Check these before you attempt to update or install anything more.

When firefox opens as a new tab opens with a video download program how can I stop this
When I opened ffox what it also opens a new tab on if I want to download a video software... How can I remove this.
Thank you
captjackSorry, I read too fast. This happens any time you access your home page? For example, using either:
- CTRL + n (start a new window)
- Click on the Home icon in the toolbar
If Yes:
You can have a second put tab in place in your homepage layout. Please see these articles:
If this setting is clean, please review your extensions as stated in my previous answer.
If not:
Sometimes problems occur only at startup.
- If the tab is linked to an update of the extension: you should see this tab once and not every time that you start, but Firefox may be not recording the 'you have seen' setting correctly. Please see this article on the failure of save the settings: How to fix preferences that will not save.
- If the tab is not related to an update of the extension, please review your extensions as stated in my previous answer. Keep in mind that Firefox is not delivered with all extensions, they are all optional.

When I double-click an attachment in and by e-mail, whether it's a file pdf, Word, Powerpoint, Excel files, or anything else, it always opens a file save dialog box and I have to choose where to save the file first, before I open it. I'm used to just file open and then if I want to record I'll save slot in the document and save it. How can I change the settings so that's how are treated attachments? This problem is there for whatever else I'm looking for e-mails, whether through Hotmail or OWA... Thank you!
Thanks again for answering my question. I ended up reinstalling Google Chrome and it must have reset some default settings somewhere. I have more the problem to not try this last suggestion.
Kind regards. -
Firefox opens a new window and moves the active tab to it. How can I stop this?
Has got several tabs open. Firefox has suddenly closed the tab I'm trying (this seems to happen when I'm scrolling) and puts in a new window, move the focus to a previously inactive tab. What a swell feature! How can I get rid of him?
Firefox 3.5/6 versions have a feature called tabs.
You can detach a tab in the current window and open in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window.
You can drag the tab to the tab bar in the original window to cancel this detachment.

bold text Browser:-Firefox 4.0.1
OS:-Windows XP SP3.
It happens every time I open a new window.
This very annoying, especially when I can have up to ten active window at a time. I group my windows by object and can have several tabs open in each window.The ASK.com toolbar can cause other windows get it is enlarged.
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.

I have activate acrobat, but it happens always next time I need to open a pdf file. The same problem occurs when I use a quicktime file. I can down down I would allow me every time but one time, next time, I want to use, see, or hear a quicktime file I get the same question. It's very annoying. I went into options and chose the file to use to open rather than have me ask but it does not solve the problem either.
Hello moxiet, please go to the firefox menu > addons > plugins where you can set general preferences for individual plugins (always ask or always activate).

First of all. a computer program entry that appears as an Internet Explore Managed Add-on, when the first installed is indicated as such but, after having stopped at the next startup shows that it removed from the list of managed add-ins, even if the program appears again in all programs.
Second, I use Norton Internet Security, and recently its icon has disappeared from the notification bar. Center of action reported to the program as always 'on '. But NIS would not start/desktop icon launch and I got the C:/Program Files(x86) /Norton InternetSecurity/Engine64/20.2.019/uistub.exe notice
unspecified error
When Norton Autofix came he reported an error 8504. 104 and advised that I went on the symantec site, which I did.
A representative of Norton reinstalled the program and everything worked perfectly. But two days I noticed the icon is again missing from the notification bar, and the program does not start.
I also recently suffered windows not start (blue screen, etc.). Repair and recovery made a restore.
If all this is connected? If so what is the problem with my PC?
Otherwise, even once, what's wrong with my PC?
I would like to use the tool on their site to completely, remove & uninstall Norton
Restart the PC and then the test rest your addon IE to see if

When I opened iMovie automatically opens to the last played film instead of asking me what I want to do. I then shut down the film before I was presented with the opportunity to create a new project. How can I stop this waste of time boring? I use the old iMovie HD 6.0.4 because I find that it is superior to the new versions. IMac 27 "2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.
This has always been a 'feature' of iMovie 6!
The only solution I know is to move the project current iMovie to another folder, which is in documents, for example, where iMovie can't see it.
