Ubuntu :: Cannot Close Tabs In Firefox 4 On 11.04

May 28, 2011

I was having a problem with the tabs in Firefox 4, on Ubuntu 11.04 x64. No matter what I did, whether it was clicking the "X" button, hitting Ctrl+W, looking for a "Close Tab" option in the menus, I couldn't close any tabs in Firefox 4. I started disabling extensions, and first, I disabled the "Global Unity Integration" extension, and lo and behold, after a restart of Firefox, the problem is no more.

OpenSUSE :: Firefox Is Slow Opening New Tabs/switching Between Tabs

Mar 25, 2010

Firefox is sometimes slow opening new tabs/switching between tabs. If I click on the kickoff application launcher button, it takes a few seconds to open, and typing something in the search makes it hang up for about 20 seconds before it does the search. Clicking on an app takes 16 seconds before the menu window closes and the program begins to start. Then it takes another 30sec-1min before the app is usable. smplayer plays video with tearing.

Like right now I tried taking a screenshot, and it tells me

Error launching /usr/share/applications/kde4/ksnapshot.desktop. Either KLauncher is not running anymore, or it failed to start the application.

while the app worked fine.

I also tried running glxgears right now, and it runs but the gears don't move, and terminal states

15 frames in 19.0 seconds = 0.789 FPS
XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0.0"
after 48 requests (48 known processed) with 15 events remaining.

If I'm on dolphin, and I click a video to start smplayer, it takes about 1 minute for it to start.

Memory is using 1.4GB out of 3.6GB, with 0.08GB/2GB swap

Top shows an average usage of less than 10% average. Xorg is always 25%, kwin is always 10% and then rest of the apps are less than that.

CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) II X4 620 Processor
Integrated VIdeo: HD4200 with fglrx driver

When I ssh into the computer with x tunneling, the programs start up faster than being on the desktop

Ubuntu :: Browser Tabs Close When Clicked

Nov 13, 2010

Since I installed Maverick, I've had trouble with Chrome and Firefox tabs. When I click a link, sometimes (50-60% of the time) the link opens in a new tab. When I click on tabs, again 50-60% of the time, they close. It's been happening since I installed Maverick, and there doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason to when I get a new tab or a tab closes. I have a Compaq Presario V6000 running 64bit Maverick with an Nvidia card.

Fedora :: Cleaning Up - Make Epiphany Remeber Tabs After Close Browser And Open It Again?

Nov 13, 2009

I just moved to Fedora 11 from Ubuntu and I am very happy, not even thinking to go back to Ubuntu (because of gma500 driver support). How can I clean up Fedora? On Ubuntu I could go to Synaptics, remove Installed (not residetial) packages, I coud use terminal sudo autoremove, autoclean, clean. On Fedora I found out only one so far: yum clean all. Is there anything else I should now, can you share with me how you are cleaning up your Fedora? Second thing, which is not only related to Fedora, is there any chance to make Epiphany remeber tabs after I close the browser and open it again? Don't really want to use any other browser.

Ubuntu :: Firefox Remembering Tabs Despite Settings?

Aug 18, 2010

I have Ubuntu 10.04 x86 on my laptop. I think I had this problem with older versions, but I can't remember. Needless to say it's been going on for a while. Firefox is set explicitly to go to my home page [URL] when opening, but it frequently (50% or better) instead opens my tabs from my last session.

How can I fix this?

Ubuntu :: Firefox Always Restores Tabs Though Its Set To Show Home Page?

May 7, 2011

(I am new to Ubuntu though have experimented with various Linux flavors in the past.) I have been struggling with this issue with Firefox 3.6.17 on Ubuntu 10.10. When I start Firefox it always loads the previous session's tabs, though I have the option set to load home page, not restore tabs. Where would it be picking this up from ?

Ubuntu :: Firefox Close Buttons And Tab Size

Aug 1, 2010

the size of the min,max, close buttons in the corner of firefox. They are very small and I can't find a way to increase them. I've tried different themes but that doesn't work.

The other thing I would like to increase is the size of the tabs. I DON'T WANT TO MAKE THEM LONGER, I WANT TO MAKE THEM TALLER so they are easier to hit when laptop is hooked to TV. Right now they are very short and I use the mouse on the arm of my chair (cloth) and it's a little difficult to hit them.

I've searched and read tips for the past week and none have what I need. They all tell me how to make the tabs longer or shorter and how to add or remove close boxes in the individual tabs. These don't do what I need done. Can these simple things be done in firefox or am I SOL?

Ubuntu :: Missing The Min, Max And Close On Task Bar On Firefox

I recently lost my Min Max and close buttons on pretty much every window. This seemed to start when I upgraded to 10.10. I did what was told in another thread on missing task bars. I managed to get them all back except on Firefox. I tried the preferences, double clicking up there, right clicking.

Okay, I have saved 3 tabs in the browser always.But from time to time the following sites shows up in my browser without my authorization:
1- http://www.en.com/

If I Go to my "Firefox Preferences" and I set my preferences HOW is possible that they can re-set them?

Ubuntu :: Possible To Use Ctrl- ( 1 / 2 / 3 ) To Switch Tabs

May 22, 2010

Since I still want to do all my programming on Win32 platform, VirtualBox should be fine there, but would VirtualBox be able to manage games ( BF2, CSS )?If so then well I'm going to Ubuntu permenatly, if not, I'll just Dual boot between Windows & Ubuntu, Ubuntu for everything ( VirtualBox for programming ), and Windows os for Gaming.

My only problem there, is having to restart every time I want to play a game, that's why I was hoping VirtualBox could manage, wouldn't have to be any, fancy resolution.Also, with Firefox on linux, is it possible to use Ctrl- ( 1, 2, 3, etc... ) to switch tabs, on windows this is possible, and an a feature I love.

Ubuntu :: Distinguish Between Tabs On Taskbar?

Oct 2, 2010

Currently the way tabs on the taskbar look (the bar at the bottom) make it a bit hard to distinguish between them. sometimes they all look like one big clump of text. its quite messy. when you look at something like the windows xp taskbar [URL] its much easier to see between them. I guess its also because the buttons look 3D in that they stick out a bit. Plus the choice of colours used for when you are on a tab helps.

How do I change/find a theme for this?

Ubuntu :: File Browser Tabs

Apr 30, 2010

This is not a big deal in the grand scheme, but more an annoyance. I allowed Ubuntu (Karmic) to do some updates today. now, in the File Browser, there is no longer a tab bar. Before, there was the bar located beneath the address bar that was similar to Firefox, that had the + to open new tabs. Now it is gone and I do not see an option for a tab bar anywhere. I realize i can right-click on the tree on the left to open a new tab, but I REALLY liked the original feature. Anyone know how to get it back?

Ubuntu :: Start-up Manager Only Shows 2 Out Of 4 Tabs?

Jul 22, 2010

I have a memory leak, thus, I need to run memcheck-memtest86. I run ubuntu 10.04 lucid and my GRUB is 2 (GNU GRUB 1.98-1ubuntu7). I have been told that to run it I have to, when booting the system, select it from the GRUB menu and use the OS as I usually do so memtest can show the leaks that annoy me.

Problems so far: in system-administration-startup-manager I can only see 2 tabs (boot options and advanced), while in the following webpage [URL] there are another 2 that I cannot see in my machine (security and advanced). Why does that happen? The idea is that I can configurate the boot menu with the startup manager, right? with the screenshot that I have uploaded, I have much less options. Again, why is that?
