Why doesn't Firefox support the Windows 7 taskbar properly.

Firefox does not work in static form of the Windows 7 taskbar button. When you close the main window of Firefox, the downloads window stays open. Because it is a Firefox window still open, you cannot start an another main Firefox window without first close the downloads window. It is against the expectations of the design of the Windows 7 task bar.

This has happened

Each time Firefox opened

== I installed Firefox on Windows 7

Double clicking on the icon of Firefox on the desktop (or by using the start menu) will allow another "main" window of Firefox to open - even if the download window is still open.

This problem is fixed in the latest alpha of Firefox versions, so that the 'hand' last window is closed leave the application - even if windows as downloads are still active. (This will be fixed in Firefox 4.0, because updates minor Firefox only to solve problems of stability and security and not to introduce new behaviors)

  • Why the title bar on Firefox and the Windows 7 taskbar let distorted image when a list of folders crosses one or the other?

    I use a lot of folders in my bookmarks list. I noticed that with AMD and Nvidia cards based on video, that if I use a folder in my bookmarks list that a lot, a lot of bookmarks, the bookmark list will cross the box title bar of Firefox and the taskbar in Windows 7 and down. When this happens, the title bar on Firefox versions 8-10 and the taskbar at the bottom let images from the list of bookmarks which do not disappear (at least that I have use F11 mode full screen to clear away from the image and bring it back to normal). If I use a Matrox video card, it doesn't. Why is this?

  • windows easy transfer and pulled the bookmarks and the profile of the old xp system password, why doesn't Firefox recognize the profile and view bookmarks, etc.?

    I FIND THE TRANSFERRED FROM THE OLD XP COMPUTER PROFILE.

    Please follow the documented procedure to the recovery of data from an old profile and answer here if you have problems at any stage. Specifically the Favorites are stored in places.sqlite and password are stored in key3db and signons.sqlite (the two files are necessary).

    Please mind that Firefox generates random names for the profile directories: d not copy the directories of any profile, as their name will not work on another computer. Instead, copy the contentof the profile folder.

  • Problem opening 26.0 Firefox from the Windows 7 taskbar.

    I have Firefox pinned to the taskbar in Windows 7 on the bottom of my screen. I use a desktop PC. Most of the time, when I click the icon it opens Firefox without any problems. However, occasionally, when first, I turn on my computer and click on the Firefox icon in the taskbar, it gets highlighted but does not appear the little circle and the highlight fades without opening the browser. When that happens, I can not yet turned off my computer without pressing the button on the tower. This happens only the first time that I open the browser in the morning, and it seems to happen every two weeks. Any thoughts on what is happening? I just had a virus removal made, so that shouldn't be the problem.

    Adobe does not sell older versions of their software, the best you could expect if the software will not work on Vista is to get a refund.

  • The Adobe reader print window menu, the button print is covered by the Windows 7 taskbar

    The Adobe reader print window menu, the button print is covered by the Windows 7 taskbar.  I can still print on my laptop by pressing on enter, but I can't resize the print windows to narrow down, or click on the "print" button from my bar tasks it covers.

    In the middle of the three buttons at the top right. Make sure the middle one shows one box. Then you can drag the window down and in and grabbing the banner at the top to raise it above the taskbar.
     
    Make sure that there are no other open windows including minimized in the taskbar, and then close Adobe Reader. Windows will remember the size as long as it is the last window closed.

  • Why doesn't firefox does not save my app tabs more?

    I have some updated app tabs. In the last few days whenever I close my browser and then reopen it, my app tabs are no longer there. Why isn't firefox remember my app tabs more? How can I fix? I need my app tabs! Thanks a lot for your help!

    You can check the settings in "clear history of Firefox closing:

    • Do not delete the "browsing history".

    It is also possible that there is a problem with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder.

    Delete the sessionstore.js file possible sessionstore-# .js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.

    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).

  • Why my left arrow (when the window is expanded) look weird?

    I use Firefox on Windows 8 39 on a laptop. When I have my window open in full screen, the arrow to the left has a little extra Maroon color "leg." If I make the window smaller, the correct graphic appears, but in full screen, it looks weird. The program of closing and reopening does not solve the problem and not missing onscreen. See screenshot.

    Too bad. I went here and gave Firefox a focus and he got rid of him.

  • Duplication of Firefox icons on the Windows 7 taskbar

    Citing the Forum Windows 7: http://www.sevenforums.com/general-discussion/256708-duplicating-icons-taskbar.html

    Hello

    I searched high and low for a way to do this, but I can't seem to find anything. First of all, I don't want to install or download any program whatsoever. I want to do with what I have, aka Windows 7.

    Let's say I have 2 or more profiles Firefox. I want to open them in separate windows. This is done easily with - no.-remote, correct? Well, if I want to open them in two different icons on the taskbar?

    Currently, I open both profiles, but they will be grouped in the Firefox icon. I don't want them be grouped. I could customize my taskbar and choose something other than "always combine, skin tags. Unfortunately, I don't want labels. And I want every other icon to combine. It's only the different profiles in Firefox I want to separate.

    Is this possible?

    Moderator sets the broken URL

    You can try to do a copy renamed only the firefox.exe file in the current Firefox program folder to see if it works.

    If this does not work, you can try to copy the whole Firefox program folder to another folder (Mozilla Firefox2) to see if that works (may as well fail because the firefox2.exe program will still report as the same application in the Windows OS) and firefox.exe program is only a draft that checks if other Firefox programs are already running without a - no.-remote switch and load the real application if necessary.

  • Support the Windows 7 XP Mode after stopping XP support

    Once Microsoft stops support for Windows XP, what will happen to Windows 7 in XP Mode. Microsoft will still support Win7 in XP Mode and make corrections as needed?

    When I had a chat with a Microsoft support person, the update I received is "the technology of Microsft Windows 7 XP mode will continue support."

    I want to know if Microsoft will come out of the patches specific to Windows 7 in XP Mode (if all problems identified in Windows 7 in XP mode).

    Thank you

    Anil

    This Microsoft support person does not.

    Windows XP Mode follows the same policy to support Windows XP, extended support until April 8, 2014.
