How can I click on a bookmark and have it open a new page? When I click a bookmark it always opens right in the sidebar, all my bookmarks disappear and I am left with two seperate pages?

I keep my bookmarks open at all times in the sidebar. If I want to go to a site, say Google, I must do a right click on the bookmark and then click on "Open In A New Tab" then the google page opens in a new tab.
I want to skip the second click. I want to be able to simply left click the google booknark in the sidebar and have google open in a new tab.
the way things are now, when I simply do a left click on the google bookmark the new google tab opens in tne sidebar itself. My bookmarks disappear from the sidebar and the google page is opened in the sidebar. So at this point I have two active page open at the same time.
Is there a way to simply left click the bookmark in the sidebar and have the bookmark open as a regular page?
Please pardon my clumsiness as I have only today used FireFox for the first time.

Opening in the Sidebar is the default action for bookmarks that are created via a "Bookmark this Page" link or button on a website. Make sure you use the many "Bookmark this Page" methods that are in Firefox instead.
Right-click that bookmark and select '''Properties''', then un-check the preference for '''Load this bookmark in the sidebar''', and then click Save.

    I purchased Adobe Design Standard in June 1993 and have not downloaded it until now. when I click on the software on my account there is no download button. How can I download the software I purchased so long ago? I hope it is not money down the drain. Is there any phone number available so I can talk to an Adobe employee?

    Which version of Design Standard are you asking about?  I don't think any Creative Suite packages existed in 1993.  I think the first CS came out in 2003.

  • Can I set Safari to open a new window when I click on it in the dock?

    is there a way to set my safari to open a new window when i click on it in the dock i surf multiple websites at once and i dont like how i have to right clik and scroll up to pick open a new window. can i set it to just open a new window instead of opening the page that already opened

    yeah, instead of using multiple windows, you can use multiple tabs inside one window. That way, you can browse multiple websites at once without having to flick back and forth between multiple windows.
    To open tabs of the websites you want to browse, just right-hand click on whatever website you want to visit (For example a site from your bookmarks or a site from a Google search result) and select 'open link in tab'.

  • Hello there - I am sharing an iPhoto library across two accounts on the same computer - it works fine EXCEPT for Quicktime movies - they play on one account and claim I don't have the rights on the other - all permissions are on and ok?

    Hello there - I am sharing an iPhoto library across two accounts on the same computer - it works fine EXCEPT for Quicktime movies - they play on one account and claim I don't have the rights on the other - all permissions are on and ok?

    It should be in the Users/ Shared folder.
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Note the option to check and repair Library Permissions

    Why would you think this?  That's an ignorant assumption to make.
    Your media is only where you put it.
    Either move it from the old computer or restore it from the backup of the old computer.

  • Can Firefox open a new tab when I click on a bookmark?

    Can I get Firefox 5.01 to open bookmarks in a new tab when I click on them?

    '''Keyboard shortcut is built into Firefox''' there is no need for an extension, but you will have to make a modification perhaps to a configuration variable.
    set the following configuration variable
    browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground
    to the same value as you have for
    browser.tabs.loadInBackground
    Opening links in the background with Ctrl+Shift+click or foreground with Ctrl+click
    or the other way around is controlled by Tools > Options Tabs > when I open a link in a new tab switch to it immediately.
    '''More information on configuration variables''' available in
    [http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config_entries about:config entries] and for users not familiar with the process there is [http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config about:config] (How to change).

  • I cannot open a new tab when I click on the + to add a new tab so I can't have multiple tabs open. How do I fix this problem?

    On my home page, I have it up and I want to open a new tab. When I click to open a new tab, nothing happens. How can this be fixed?

    Hello lsmalls787, '''try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    *In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
    thank you

  • After opening a new tab, when I click on my home page (the house icon), it duplicates and opens a second window...it's never done this before?

    I just installed Firefox on a new laptop. Google is my home page. My opening tab is always Google. But, when I open a New Tab, it doesn't open in Google. So, I've always clicked on the house icon to take me straight to Google. Now when I do, TWO tabs open in Google. (it duplicates)

    I tried all of the above, I've reinstalled Firefox and I've checked if value set to 3 in browser.link.open_newwindow which it is, but the problem still happens.
    Regarding what you say re what is written in the article Tab preferences and settings, I understand what this means. However I am using FireFox in my work. I have a CRM where I constantly click on a button that automatically opens my order system on a new tab, or email templates in a new tab etc. The tab opens next to the tab I am currently on. However ever since I was prompted to Refresh Firefox earlier, it now opens these in a new window. Therefore the size of these pages has nothing to do with it, as this was not a problem before.
    This is irritating, as no I have to go from one window to another, and where I have multiple tabs open it is making my life difficult.
    Not happy!

  • Firefox always opens a new window when i click the icon on my task bar...this is new and I would like it to say in the same window How?

    I have a firefox icon on my task bar. Before this latest install, I would click the icon and Firefox would come up directly. Now it opens another firefox window. I don't want this. How can I change it back?

    Click on the spotlight icon in the top right of your screen (looks like a magnifying glass), type
    Terminal
    and press 'return'.
    In the window that opens up, paste or type this exactly into the window
    killall Finder; killall Dock
    (that's case sensitive) and press 'return'.
    You'll notice the Dock disappear for a second or two then return, as do any open Finder windows.
    Test using Finder as normal. Same problem?

  • How can i change the tab bar from opening a new tab when single clicked to open one only when double clicked?

    Out of habbit, i double click the tab bar and it opens 1 tab. however in the new beta, it opens 2.
    Is there anyway to change this so single clicks dont open new tabs on the tab bar?

    I don't have multiple tab bars and haven't installed anything to try and get them.
    I re-read what I wrote earlier and realised it's not worded clearly when I said: If I have more than a single tab bar of tabs open
    I meant: When I have so many tabs open that they won't all fit into the tab bar at once

  • How can I use back up from my old iPad  to my new one when one is iOS 8.1.3 and the new one is iOS 7.1.2. It not compatible on the screen of my new iPad

    I Had several problems with my old iPad so I have now been given a new one.i have made a back up on iCloud with my husbands iPad bit now it's telling me on the screen that there are no iCloud backups are compatible with the version of iOS 7.1.2 on this iPad my husband has iOS 8.1.3. Which I am trying to set up from.
    what do I do?
    kathryn.

    You can't restore to a backup that was taken on a device which has a higher version of iOS than on your iPad, you will have to update your iPad to 8.1.3 to be able to restore to it
    You should be able to update your iPad via Settings > General > Software Update

  • How do I get firefox to open a new window when i click on a link in a webpage ?

    When I click on a link in a webpage in Firefox, generally it opens the new page in the window i am in (though some times it does not). How do I get it to open a new window (or tab) each time I click a link.
    For example, on www.bbc.co.uk if I click on a link, the new page opens in the same window, if I then click another link in the new window, again, it opens in the same window. To get back to the original window, I have to use the back button twice. Surely there is a setting so that all 3 windows can be open on separate tabs or separate windows.
    I have been to the tabs window in options, but doesn't seem to make a difference.

    Open link/bookmark in new tab in same window:
    *Middle-click (press the mouse scroll wheel) the link
    *Ctrl+left click the link
    *right-click the link, choose "Open Link in New Tab"
    Open link/bookmark in new window:
    * Shift+Enter on the link
    * Shift+left click on the link

  • How do I stop Firefox from opening a new tab when I click a link or navigation button (such as "home") instead of redirecting using the currently open tab?

    Any time I click on a link within a page, such as the "home" link in Facebook, or the various links on the Mozilla page that I needed to follow to get to this screen, Firefox opens a new tab instead of redirecting using the tab I'm on. Also, Firefox doesn't go to the new tab, it just opens it. So if I want to actually go to the page I've just clicked on, I have to then also find and click on the new tab that just opened.

    Hello,
    In safe mode link still open in new tabs?
    *[http://mzl.la/MwuO4X Firefox in safe mode]
    Go to '''about:config''' and search for:
    *'''browser.tabs.loadInBackground''' change its value to '''false'''.
    If in safe mode the links still open in new tabs try go to '''about:config''' and search for:
    *'''browser.link.open_newwindow''' change its value to '''3'''.
