Whenever I get close a tab that a new blank tab opens on its own.
Hello
I use Firefox 6.0.2, and it is a moment that I am facing this problem. Whenever I click on the little X to close the tab (sometimes I have to click 2 - 3 times) it closes the tab, but a new empty tab opens. For example when I start with 1 tablet, open 3 tabs on this page, so I have 4, I want to go to another site and close my first site. Then, Firefox gives me new site + 4 blank tabs that cannot be closed.
When I open Firefox this works well, but after 10-15 minutes or I don't know maybe 1 hour or if this problem appears.
I have not installed any new plugin or extension (maybe update my plugins) existing.
It is not a virus, malware or anything. I use Avast home edition (free) and it is updated several times daily. I also scanned my system with tdsskiller (read on a forum that solves the problem, but it does not).
I use firefox for years, but this problem only happens from a week ago.

you have toolbars or extensions installed in Control Panel > software or in firefox addons - manager > extensions, which could cause this behavior? try launching firefox to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode (close all other instances of firefox and open the browser while holding down the SHIFT key) and see if the problem is persisiting here to diagnose the problem...
Edit: you also have the plugin "Fun Web products Plugin Stub for Windows 32-bit" installed, which comes bundled with some toolbars
the details of the system, you have presented it seems you are using an outdated version of firefox and an updated version of the java plugin - both are a serious security problem! There were dozens of corrected vulnerabilities since the release of firefox 6. and java before 6 update 31 versions are vulnerable to the infections drive (your computer may be infected with malicious software simply by visiting a Web site), which are widely exploited in the wild.
I would recommend that you update both programs as soon as possible: visit getfirefox.com &, java.com. and even if you already have a working virus protection software, I would say that you run another scan complete your system with the free anti-malware www.malwarebytes.org tool in addition (tdsskiller was just a rootkit scanner).

I hate this F * KIN bing pop up at the bottom of the MSN.com page and you want to permanently delete it, not just 'close' every time that the page is re-open. I have Windows 7 and would like to know how to do it. I'm not familiar with how to change the script or procedure to do. I Ad Block more and do not know what line of 'block' in filters. Help!
I use Firefox 21.0 and like MSN.com (except the cursed bing pop up) as home page.
The site requires cookies to store your preferences. If you accept cookies from msn.com, then the search bar disappears for good after clicking on the link close [x] .
If you want to block the search bar in Adblock Plus, put the following filter group "My masking Rules.
msn.com##div#ls1[class="co4b2 cf co coa2 coc1 m3 ls1"]

Just updated Firefox to update from 28 to 31. Now, every time I close a tab (by clicking the x to the right of the current tab), rather than close this tab, it opens another tab just to the right of the tab I'm closing. Subsequent attempts produce the same result... with a series of new tabs, building to the right of the current tab with every click. Only way to close the tabs must leave and then re - open Firefox, but the problem continues as before.
Until I can find a solution for this, I want to go back to 28 - is this possible and if so, how?
TIA
Update: Firefox updated itself, it only is complaint not on the current versions of the Add - ons installed.
On a whim, I went to Tools/Add-ons and noticed that one point, Tab Mix Plus, indicated that there is an update available. Once this update has been installed and restarted FF, the problem no longer existed.
Problem solved by installing the 0.4.1.4 TMP!
NOTE: Maybe the FF 31.0 update process should be amended to flag Tab Mix Plus versions prior to 0.4.1.4 when it verifies the compatibility of the add-on.

Should each new page that I join my home page have its own style sheet?
Each new page that I join my home page should have its own style sheet or should this simply go on the homepage one?

Sometimes I break the CSS to the top, using a style sheet 'main' for those elements that are common to all pages and a sheet of styles that are unique to one or two inside pages. I find split styles as it makes them easier to develop my web pages and usually leave as stand-alone CSS.
Yes, I do it as well, depending on the complexity of the design site is. If the layout varies very widely from one page to the other then this a good approach to take.

All the documents that I close (if it is registered or not, whether it is empty or not) shows an error message saying:
Window with the loading bar appears: header 1 - "ofMicrosoft Office Word has stopped working ", heading 2 - "Windows is checking for a solution to the problem... " "
Changes in wording (remains of load bar): header 1 - "Microsoft Office Word to try to recover your information... ", header 2-"it can take several minutes. "
It takes then about 10 to 20 seconds until the charge bar disappears and the text becomes: header 1 - "Microsoft Office Word has stopped working ", header 2-"a problem caused the program to stop working correctly." "" Windows will notify you if a solution is available. "
This process happens every time. Sometimes it restarts the program, and other times it ends just (closed) it. I don't know if this is related to this bug, but I met another problem that began at the same time as this one:
http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/vistaperformance/thread/f5e2a747-b429-4d55-8a6b-5d5a9b791dd1 (scroll to the bottom of the page of my post) . That error is fixed now, but the "Microsoft Office Word has stopped working bug" continues to annoy me.
Could this error be caused by my computer or Microsoft Word? Does anyone have any information or conclusions of how this error can be fixed? Is there some registry tweaks which can solve this problem?

Next to the address bar is an icon that looks like a stack of paper with a number on it. If you type who, a list of the tabs and you can press the x to close those that you no longer need.
Does it work?

Portable Acrobat Pro on a new computer installation. At the point of download get the message "Setup has detected that you already have a better version product installed. The installation program will end now. "Acrobat Pro is NOT already installed, in any version. What is the problem?
Thanks for the comments. Drive and cleaning tool has not helped. We found that the add-on PDF associated with FrameMaker was causing the issue. Uninstalled FM and the add-on, and then was able to install Acrobat Pro without any problem. Then reinstalled FM. Weird, but it worked.

original title: Windows Mail stop working
I have Windows Vista Home Premium and Windows Mail has stopped working. When I try to open it, I get a message saying that Windows Mail cannot be opened because another instance of it is already running. (the same manager thought of tasks shows no mail running Windows).
I tried to restart my computer several times. I tried running Windows update that tries to install Internet Explorer but I get an error code 5. My antivirus software is up-to-date. Can anyone help? I miss my Windows Mail :(
Try to go to start | Search and type in msconfig and then disable the startup items and reboot and see if you get the same error. It could be due to interference antivirus. See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 you can also try compacting and repairing the database (see www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/), but I don't think that is the issue because another program seems to be from WinMail. It could also be due to Windows Search indexing messages, so if you have it turned on, then go to control panel | Filtering options (I think it's location) and delete WinMail indexing courses.

This may sound silly, but once when I was about to leave Firefox, I got the warning prompt if I wanted to close many tabs... As I click on save and leave I pressed accidentally the "save these settings. Now I'm just wondering, how do I disable it, so that Fireox sends the prompt whenever I try to close multiple tabs? I'm under 3.6.6 with OS X Snow Leopard.
You can reset the preferences to warn on the topic: config page via the context menu.

If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access this page.In Firefox 3, you don't get the dialog "Save and exit" pop - up if you choose Firefox > Preferences > General > startup: "When Firefox starts": "show my windows and tabs from last time '.
