Whenever I select Facebook tile, it opens a new instance of Facebook.

Original title: tile from Facebook

I added a tile for Facebook, but whenever I select, it opens a new instance of Facebook. Is there a way to change the settings so it opens to the instance that is already running the tile?

Hey Debbie in 21401.

This is normal. If you have opened an instance of Facebook in the modern user, Internet Explorer interface and try to open Facebook tile, it will also change the settings in IE and change the previous settings.

Hope this information helps.

  • VMrun tries to open the new instance of WS on Linux

    Hello.

    I have been using VMrun on Windows for ages, but have only been invited to work on a Linux installation.

    When the workstation is already open, and I then use a VMrun command to start a virtual machine, it opens a new instance of the workstation (which then requires a license key).

    Any ideas why VMrun is not only from the virtual machine the already open instance of WS?

    Thanks for any help

    are two instances to run under different account names?

    that is, I opened the gui under the root, then tried to run under a user VM account?  or vice versa?

    The workstation GUI locks the VMX file if you have the GUI open.  I opened it as "jon" user account, and then try to turn on a VMX under account "dave"... I get an error that it can't be done.

    can you try to close the user interface, and then use the command vmrun with nogui option.

    the name of the substitute account may also explain the license key request.

    Kind regards

  • How can I stop addons to declare that they are updated whenever I have start firefox by opening a new tab for eah addon?

    After firefox updated all addons some of them has opened a new tab after restart. This tab has reported that each addon has been updated.
    But these tabs keep opening at startup, hiding my homepage and gets boring.

    I solved many of them downgrading to an older version, but I can't trouble the Tabmix more tab than guard leader here:
    http://tmp.garyr.NET/version_update2.htm?version=0.4.1.1pre.130722a
    Even without this downgrade, which in fact lead to another page that tells a different version (the one I had demoted to)

    EDIT. I wiped out the config to restore it piece by piece.
    Everything is now resolved.

    Unfortunately the suggestions that I had to correct the situation do not work. I also saw that I had a program installation Meida 383 occur when this started. I am not able to uninstall the program because Norton Antivirus automatically removed some of its parts (au_exe has been deleted).

  • I want to open my new tab of my homepage, not not the tiles or white page

    I've upgraded to Firefox 41.01 and now when I open a new tab I have only the choice of tiles (which I don't want) or a completely blank page. I want the new tab to open my home page, not the tiles suggested or a blank page.

    41 of Firefox is no longer uses the browser.newtab.url setting in about: config because he was constantly attacked by malware. From 41 of Firefox, you need an add-on to change the new tab page.

    Here are a few options (I'm learning more all the time):

    • If you are already using the "Restorer of classic theme" or "Tab Mix Plus" extension: There is an option somewhere (!) in his dialogues of the parameters to select another page in the new tab.

    Use only one of these methods at the same time, otherwise there may be conflicts and dysfunctions.

    Setting up substitute new tab and new tab custom

    After installing one of these extensions, you must use the Options page to set the new desired tab page (instead of use subject: config).

    Open the page modules using either:

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

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then on the side right, find the new tab replace or custom new tab and click on the Options button. (See first screenshot attached).

    New tab Override

    Depending on the size of your screen, you may need to scroll down to enter the address in the form. (See second screenshot attached). For example:

    • (Default) page thumbnails = > subject: newtab
    • Blank tab = > subject: empty
    • Built-in Firefox homepage = > topic: welcome
    • Any other page = > full URL of the page

    Then tab or click this form field and you can test using Ctrl + t.

    Custom new tab

    It is easy to enter your favourite homepage address. If you check either of the boxes, the expansion will set the focus in the page as well, for example, the cursor will be in the Google search box. (See third screenshot attached). I had to leave Firefox and start it up again before new custom tab started working, but this may have been due to tests so many extensions back to back.

    Success?

  • A boring song plays whenever I open a new tab

    Hi, I have a problem where whenever I open a new tab in firefox a boring song is playing (for about 7 seconds) and I have no idea what is the cause, I looked through my plugins and I do not see those who would force the latter. Is there a way I can manually disable this? It is so annoying, I'm ready to move from browsers because of this, but I won't because I love firefox!

    Do you use the page new tab with tiles?

    I guess that if: you've certainly visited before a Web site with a song that is played automatically. This site is registered under the most visited and it is displayed as a tile on the page tab.

    Website tiles are preloaded as a classic site in a tab, so if there is music, you listen to this music.

    To correct this, several ways (the first is the more "non-destructive"):

    • Open each site on your new tab page until you find the 'guilty' tile, then click the small cross at the top right of the tile
    • Hide the tiles on your page in new tab
    • Clear recent history

  • is no longer able to see the 8 tiles frequently open - show only 4 now - must use the command/scroll down to min size of the mosaic each time

    With the new version of firefox - not able to see tile 8 discovers each tab opening now - only 4 show now - have to use mouse scrolling and the control key to minimize the size of mosaic to see several cages - used to 8 plates and 8 slabs shown whenever a new tab was opened. Basically, I wan to be able to set the screen for 8 tiles not only 4 each time I open a new tab.

    Hi, as you know, you can change the number of tiles on the Page of the new tab to zoom in or out (Ctrl and + key, or Ctrl and - key).

    If you want to 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 by 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.

  • Windows 8 tiles not opening

    I tried everything above except for run "CMD" because when I right click I don't have the ability to run as an administrator. Still can not solve the problem.

    The problem with their directions is that it takes you to the Office window for running the CMD prompt which does not give you the "Run as Administrator" option.  You must go through the side of the metro.  Click on Windows + C to open the charms on the right panel and select "search".  In research applications, type "cmd" and then when you see "Command Prompt" in the list box on the left, right-click on it and select 'Run as administrator' at the bottom of the screen.  You then use the sfc/scannow.

    This is the second time I went through not having this problem... and I got this machine Win 8 only about 1.5 years.  The first tiles stopped working and I couldn't go to the store to update the applications or to update to 8.1... nothing else in Windows has been updated either.  After trying all the tips that I could find that I had to just erase it and restored to the original and start again at ground zero... she sucked!  I didn't go far to 8,1 because I was worried about restore points would not work... now, it seems that I have to go through the process of finding a solution again.  I had hoped they would have solved this problem now.

  • New window only opens a new window without worrying if I do a Ctrl-N or select it from the file menu.

    It doesn't matter if I select the new window on the file menu; do a Ctrl-N; or select Open link in a new window when I right click on a link, nothing happens. I can open a new tab with no problems, but not in a new window. I am running Windows Vista 32-bit.

    I think that what happens starting after the version 16, which was a few years ago... back then, I just stop using Firefox. However, I would like firstly using Firefox as my main browser and would like to be able to open new windows instead of new tabs. Please notify.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox, Tools/menu key > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

    • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox, Tools/menu key > Modules > appearance
    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe

    Make sure that your security software is not blocking the new window.

    Start the computer in Mode safe mode with network support Windows (on the startup screen, press F8) to see if that helps.

    There is a feature that interferes with the memory of your zoom level preferred for the new Firefox tabs page. Here's where you can go:

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

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

    (3) double-click the preference browser.newtab.preload to change its value from true to false

    After the change, if you have any 'new tab' pages open, close them and open a new one change, the zoom setting and now we must remember.
