When I press shift + s there is a new tab. How can I stop?
On any tab, when I type in shift + s, there is a new tab.
It does not on the other applications, as in firefox.
Firefox is updated to the newest one.
Hello
Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.
(If you use it, switch to the default theme).
- Under Windows, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
- On Mac, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key option key when starting Firefox.
- Under Linux, you can open Firefox 4.0 + with leaving Firefox then go to your Terminal and running Safe Mode: firefox-safe-mode (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
- Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.
Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "
If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .
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. It might help others who have the same problem.
Thank you.

For example, if I'm on a web page of recipe and I click on the + icon to open a new tab, so I can look at the comments to this recipe while keeping the web page of recipe, open the new tab appears as a blank page research right now. I wish the new coming tab like the page of a recipe where I was when I clicked on the + to a new tab. In this way, I don't have to go get the Web of recipe in the new tab page, and comments... I would already be on the same web page of recipe in the new tab and then simply click on reviews. I hope I have explained this clearly. Thank you!

The simplest seems to be: hold CTRL and left click on the button reload. You can also click the reload (for example 'click' with the mouse wheel, if you have a mouse wheel.) The thread above has other options.
Edit: you could also hold down the Ctrl key and drag a tab beside himself to clone, another suggestion of the thread above.

I am running Windows XP. After updating to Firefox6.02 a second tab was there after my 'Google' default tag. The second tab contains the words "New Tab" on this issue, and when you click the 'X' button in the tab, it does not close. When you go to for closing of Firefox a warning window/box will appear to tell you that you have 2 tabs open and asks if it's ok to close. I thought that there is a problem with the update. So I uninstalled Firefox and then re-installed. Same thing happened, 2 tablets. Any ideas?
It is possible that there is a problem with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder.
Delete the sessionstore.js file [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.
- Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: opens showing the file
- http://KB.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
If you see files sessionstore-# .js with a number in the left part of the name as sessionstore - 1.js then delete those as well.
Delete sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and tab groups and opened and closed the tabs (back) to get lost, so you will need to create them again (take note or bookmarks).See also:
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.

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!

I want the homepage to search Google to open when I open a new tab instead of the default generic search box. How can I change what opens when I open a new tab?
Why not use the built-in engines, Google is one of them, and it is the default search engine. You can have the results of your search automatically open in a new tab, and your links on the Google results page each open in a new tab.

There is a flashing light on my toolbar, and sometimes a blinking black box appears on Yahoo News. I tried to reset Firefox and that has not worked. Then, I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox and I still have the seizure inducing flashing lights.
When I go to Internet Explorer, I don't have this problem. Please help me because I don't want to go back to IE.
Thank youIn the case where this is caused by 33 incompatible Firefox with your software driver graphics card/chipset, could test you for a while in Mode without failure of Firefox? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable extensions, hardware acceleration, and a few other advanced features of Firefox. 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?
You can disable hardware acceleration for all modes in the Options dialog box.
"3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > advanced
In the mini ' General' tab, uncheck the box for "use hardware acceleration when available.
This takes effect the next time you exit Firefox and start it again.
