Why my tabs no longer work?

A few days ago my ability to add or remove tabs from my Firefox home page has stopped working.

Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

See "basic troubleshooting: a new profile:

There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "tools > Modules > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.

If this new profile works then you can transfer files from the old profile to the new profile, but make sure not to copy corrupted files.

  • Aero Peek, ToolTips and Alt - Tab no longer works

    Do not think that changes have been made between the moment where they worked, and the time they were not. I may be wrong, however.

    If I use a program and I move my mouse to the bar of tasks and the mouse on another program, I executed the preview is displayed only briefly (the order of milliseconds). If I click on the taskbar first, then hover over a preview icon if poster correctly, and if I mouse over the preview window is brought to the foreground. However, if I click on the program overview is only sporadically brought in the foreground.

    I also noticed that Alt + Tab doesn't work correctly or the other. When I hit alt - tab selection menu is still only flashed on the screen even now ALT.

    I also noticed that tooltips do not work in any program, unless I clicked on the taskbar and then mouse over the balloon in an open window.

    They do the same thing. When I mouse over a ToolTip it flashed briefly, don't even have enough of time to read.

    Perhaps thought it might be a problem of mouse or keyboard, both passed out, still no solution.

    Computer restarting doesn't fix it.

    Already run the troubleshooting and no problems were found.

    A system restore to before the problems were there, but it does not solve the problem either.

    Performance verified and all parameters is activated.

    As I said earlier I can't quite imagine what has changed between where he was working and the time that it was not. I have literally follow me to the top of my computer, sitting on a Chair in my office, read a book for a few hours, came back and it didn't work.

  • ALT + tab no longer works with drag-and-drop

    I bought a new computer Samsung with Windows 8, two weeks ago. On my old computer, I could choose a file in a folder, then alt - tab to another folder and then drop the selected file. Now, every time I select a file and use alt - tab, the file automatically becomes deselected.

    This never happened to me in my previous versions of Windows.

    To be clear: my keyboard and touch pad working perfectly fine. It is a problem of Windows when you use drag-and - drop jointly with alt - tab.

    Hello Boston,

    This feature is also available in Windows 8. You must select a copy of the file and click alt + tab and select the folder where the file should be moved or pasted.

    If this does not work on your computer, you can try to follow the link below and create a new user account and see if that helps. To create a user account follow this link:

  • Search function in the project tab no longer works in 8.0.1.21 Mac

    I reported another bug in a separate thread.

    Did anyone else get this?  It is grayed out.

    Hi Mark,

    Yes, it has finished indexing, but you gave me an idea.  It is with a great project.  I opened a smaller and the search function has been activated and works well.

    So I trashed the media Cache in the larger project where research was MIA, and... still no luck.

    But I started to denigrate unused items and remembered "Edit > delete is not used," and brought the search box.  Thus, it seems that some element of the project was originally research project must be disabled.

    So let's examine this question an answer.  Thank you, Mark and Kevin.

  • The Tab key no longer works for allows me to go between the text entry boxes

    After updating to the new version of Firefox the Tab key is no longer work when switching between the text fields to enter information such as shipping address, name and stuff like that where a simple TAB could sail between the text boxes.

    Hello benpierce25, try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • Click the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    The user.js file does not exist by default. If you create the file, forget it, if you don't have not create the file, and then remove the User.js file, to see if the problem goes away (some programs create and write to the file also).

    Thank you

  • Why gesture to turn on my trackpad behaves not as before for switching between tabs when it works the same with all other programs besides Firefox?

    Why gesture to turn on my trackpad behaves not as before for switching between tabs when it works the same with all other programs besides Firefox?

    I changed the subject: config to make the rotation gesture to move between tabs and it worked great for well over a year. It now behaves properly, as described here:

    https://Bugzilla.Mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=877598

    It used to be very controllable move a tab on, now it is erratic and moves quickly and the unexpected tabs regardless of the slowness, I do the gesture of rotation. It's the main reason I use Firefox on Chrome and I will continue to do so unless there is no solution for this.

    Just put the browser.gesture.twist.threshold to something around 15-25.

    I have the latest additon of firefox and only noticed this today... so not after I've updated, the name of the site appears if I move the mouse over the tab but it flashes and will not stay there, I can't seem to find a way to get the site back on the tab name... Help please!

    Hello, you can try to reproduce this behavior when you start firefox in safe mode, once? If this isn't the case, maybe an addon intrudes here or there is a problem with hardware acceleration...

  • Why the command/tab does not work in the new discourse during a presentation

    Why the command/tab doesn't work with Keynote 6.6.1 during a presentation.  I can't get out (smoothly and professionally) presentation for applications that run in the background, then return smoothly.  Slows down my presentation, seems unprofessional.  This key combination worked very well until I used the new version of Keynote.

    We have no problem with the service application switcher using Yosemite and Keynote 6.6.1 on any of our client systems, or there is no record of anyone having this problem on the discussions.

    This sounds like a problem of systems;

  • HP OfficeJet printers no longer work with 7 Pro. WHY?

    Dear community of Microsoft,

    I'm at the edge of madness since August 14 I'm more able to print on ANY of my HP Officejet printers (both 4500 and a 6500 all in UNITS).  I checked my e-mail address after this thought maybe there would be something Softronics or H.P. in there as a bug or a problem, and of course, there was something H.P.

    I downloaded and ran the "so-called fix."  It wouldn't work.   I'm at the end of my mind and actually BROKEN printers all over my patio.  Childish, maybe, but you have NO IDEA how bad that company makes me mad after the purchase of 17 computers and 8 printers in recent years.  NONE WORK PROPERLY.  NOT A SINGLE ONE.

    H.P. will NOT help me.  But it's NOTHING new to them.  I will NEVER buy another HP product again.  I tried to print a label of mail for more than two weeks now.

    Yes, I had technicians of various companies go into my computer and no ONE, not even H.P., may fix the problem.

    I'm NOT a violent person at all, but it speaks volumes when we crash one of their own printers by such severe frustration.

    My computer is a HP dv7 4000 (supposedly custom... probably not as I buy direct HP and they TEND to rip off of people... just to tell the truth).

    He was SUPPOSED to be a business personal computer built with 7 Professional on it and Office Pro 10 on it.  He appeared as a computer at home (I only paid $3 000,00 to IT... what I would have expected?  "I'm sarcastic to keep to go completely crazy.)

    It has been printing fine on all printers (two HP 4500, a HP 6500 and a very old Canon BJC 4400).  He will receive NO H.P. downloads software or AT ALL on printing of the H.P..

    PLEASSSSEEEEE HELP ME!   I'm at my wit's end.  Yet once, H.P. has a few download send me before I even found printers does not.  They would not work after I installed it and even NOW they still don't work.

    I've done stabbed to pick up the whole system and reinstall everything but as you, who are likely to pros, know, H.P. aren't configuration that can be restored more than the manufacturer's original no matter WHAT say their textbooks online.  It does NOT work.  The computer was delivered without manuals or software.  I had to buy the upgraded software separately since they refused, when I thought it wasn't the computer I ordered, to accept a return and provide the APPROPRIATE injector (I know, what a shock).

    PLEASE HELP ME!  I can't print anything.  I don't have the original disks for installing the printer... they will not accomplish.  H.P. downloads no longer work.
