Clicking on a link to open a new page or tab gives me a blank page.
If I click on a link to open a new page or a new tab, the page that opens is always blank and no address is in the address bar. Also, occasionally, my refresh button is "grayed" out so I can't hit that either. I think this is some sort of security setting blocking it. Can anyone help.
Thanks Jason, I had the same problem and did exactly the steps above. Problem solved! You rock! :)

Ever since I downloaded the new Firefox, when I right-click on a link to open it in a different tab, the tab will open but will not load anything, no matter what link I try. The tab will show the website destination in the navigation bar, but will not automatically load it; I have to press the load button in the navigation bar instead of it instantly loading.
== This happened ==

== The newest version, 3.6.6, of Firefox was downloadedIt's not specific sites. I can middle-click on the same link 50 times and it will open it in a new tab 45 times and 5 of those times, it will randomly open it in an entirely new window. I don't know what's causing this.
It happens so randomly that I don't know how to pin-point what it could be. -
I'm running Firefox 3.6.13 and if I click on a link to open a new window nothing shows up - i.e. if I click on 'enlarge' on an Ebay auction photo a new window opens but it's blank inside.
Any ideas please? I've tried uninstalling and re-installing, and downloading and installing Flash but no joy.* "Clear the Cache": Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"

Firefox closes after I click on a link to open a new window
I had to reinstall Window 7, and of course, Firefox and Thunderbird. Now Firefox closes after I click on a link to open a new window. For example, if I'm in Thunderbird, and i click on a link in an email, Firefox gives me a message like "Firefox is already open, but must close before opening a new window."
Is there more than one installation of Firefox listed in the Programs installed?

I'm using Firefox 8.0 on Suse 11.4 today is 11/28/11 the past 24 hours I've been experiencing this: I always try to right click on links and open in new tab, lately when I do so and move the cursor into the dialog box the box disappears. Also if I online shop say for clothing, if I want to change size's when I click the button to do so nothing happens when I want to scroll down and pick a different size, (I can hi-light the size and click on it then when the window scrolls back up the default size is still there. This isn't consistent with all web sites.

Flash website - need link to open in new page
I created my web site in Flash and published it as an HTML file. It's a page that has thumbnails. Clicking on a thumbnail should open a new window to view the full-size version.
When I play a SWF file and click on thumbnails, my project opens in a separate window.
When I open my page (published in Flash as HTML) in Dreamweaver and view it in the browser, when I click on thumbnails, instead of opening a new window full-size version overrides the current window contents -- but there is no "back" tab on the content, and the browser "back" tab takes me to the home page rather than back to the previous window.
How do I make it so that the link opens a new window (that can then be closed after viewing) rather than overriding the contents of the existing window after I publish my page as HTML file?
Thanks for suggestions!My flash published html file works fine, I cannot open my thumbnails in a separate window when I open my HTML file in the browser from Dreamweaver.
It doesn't even open in the different tab. It opens over my viewing page and I have to click "back" in the browser, but it goes back to the main menu not to previous viewing page.
My thumbnails and links to the full-size files are in a separate XML file.
Thanks again -
for example there's a link a friend sent me in my e-mail and I right-click on it, and select "Open in a new tab" it pops open like normal, except it does not load the page, I have to click the box and press enter to even get it to load it. In previous versions I have never had that problem, current version of Mozilla Firefox I am using is version 4, previous was 3.6 hope this helps figure this out.

I get redirects always in current open page. If I click a link and say open in new tab or new window it does not redirect. I've noticed explorer is now advertising built in software to eliminate someone hijacking their browser. If I have to keep searching for tools to clean registry's and browser issues -- I may have to switch back to Explorer or Chrome. Lately my Firefox which I'm most used to is driving me nuts... Why can't you guys provide a tool that cleans the adware, hijacks, etc off the browser? I even downloaded the latest version and I'm still having the same problem-- seems the hijack to redirect remains......

I open firefox and type in CNN(or any other item). When the link appears I click on it. Instead of opening in the existing tab, firefox opens a new tab.
Thank you for this information. I love learning new things!

For example, when I'm in Flickr and I'm looking at an album, I click on a picture and it opens a new tab for that picture. When I click on the arrow to see the next picture in the series, it proceeds to open yet another tab, and so on. It's not difficult to have tabs that span the width of my screen in no time at all.
This should help:
1. Go to: Tools > Options > Tabs
2. There is a section at the top that says 'Open links that open in a new window in:' and then a drop-down menu
3. In the drop-down menu, select the 'Current Tab' Option
4. Click 'OK'

When I click on a link, Firefox opens a new window for that link, how do I change this setting?

How do I stop a new page from opening each time I click on a link?
If the page contains the link you clicked on, choose Preferences from the Safari menu, click on Tabs, and change the settings as desired.
If the page contains an ad, click here and run the tool.

Way to click on link to open in new page?
Anyone figure out a way to open a link in a new page? I have a couple of pages I use as "home" pages and I'd like to be able to tap and open a link in a new page to keep the existing page at its site.
I haven't found a way yet. It depends on how the original page was coded.
If it's a page you control, try adding the following to the link anchor tag:
target="_blank". If not, sorry. Maybe it's something they'll add, but honestly, I doubt it (my personal opinion). It would add clutter to a portion of the interface that's working quite smoothly right now. There's no precedent for a 2-fingered tap like holding down a key, and holding down on the URL for a pause already does something.
My two cents. Sorry! I agree it would be very useful.

How to click on h:datatable and open a new page
Hi,
I'm new to JSF. I have a basic example with JSF h:datatable which displays data. When I click on the table row new page is opened and an argument s passed via the http header:
Datatable:

//gets all the generated rows in the html table
var trs = document.getElementById('myForm:dataTable').getElementsByTagName('tbody')[0]
.getElementsByTagName('tr');
//on every row, add onclick function (this is what you're looking for)
for (var i = 0; trs.length > i; i++) {
trs.onclick = new Function("rowOnclick(this)");
function rowOnclick(tr) {
// var childNodes = tr.childNodes;
// for(var i = 0; childNodes.length > i; i++) {
var elements = tr.cells[0].childNodes;
for(var i = 0; elements.length > i; i++) {
if ((typeof elements[i].id !== "undefined") &&
(elements[i].id.indexOf("lnkHidden") > -1)) {
//opne in a new window// window.open(elements[i].href);
location.href=elements[i].href

return false;

My question is how I can pass the argument into the background, without using the http header? Can you help me to implement this example?

I'm new to JSF.OP answered that already. I guess the OP really wants to turn a table row into something clickable, a link won't suffice then. Basic JSF tags don't support tagging event handlers to individual rows/columns as far as I know.
@OP: you should really check out extension frameworks like Primefaces which have more advanced datatable implementations. Check out this for example:
http://www.primefaces.org/showcase/ui/datatableRowSelectionInstant.jsf
There is also Richfaces, Icefaces, Tomahawk. Probably using any of these extension frameworks you hardly ever have to write manual javascript.
