It doesn't open new tabs or windows when I click on then. it gives a problem loading page quite a bit, what's wrong?

When i open it it takes a long time to open, when I go to mail, or other places. it opens a Server not found
Firefox can't find the server at us.mg5.mail.yahoo.com
Check the address for typing errors such as
ww.example.com instead of
www.example.com
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
All this when I click on a button or do a search in Fire Fox.
It seems like I have to play with it to open anything.
I went back to the normal Fire Fox and it's still happening.
I sometimes have to restart my computer to get the buttons in the mail to show up or Face Book to work right.

[BUG FIXED, see "EDIT 2" at the end of my post]
I'm on Firefox 3.6.21, and I got this problem today after a Greasemonkey update (To version 0.9.10, apparently).
Disabling Greasemonkey solved the problem, and re-enabling it reproduced the problem (middle-clicking links to open in new tab did not work, merely highlighted the link).
I should also note that while Greasemonkey was enabled and the bug was affecting me, Ctrl+Click to open links in new tabs was also broken.
I hope this helps!
EDIT: It appears this is a known incompatibility/conflict bug between current versions of Greasemonkey and Tab Mix Plus. Read more here:
https://github.com/greasemonkey/greasemonkey/issues/1406
EDIT 2: GREASEMONKEY HAS NOW BEEN UPDATED with a workaround to fix the problem. Go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/versions/ to install the update manually. It hasn't been reviewed by Mozilla yet, so it won't be an automatic update for another day or two. All credit to "cannonfodder" below for noticing this; please mark his post as helpful!

HT5037 I followed the above instructions and after I choose the library I want to upgrade and hit continue it wants to open my iPhoto to convert, when I click yes it just gives me the original message and sends me back to this page. Am I missing something

I am trying to get photos off of my airport time capsule back up onto my new macbook pro. I followed the above instructions and after I choose the library I want to upgrade and hit continue it wants to open my iPhoto to convert, when I click yes it just gives me the original message and sends me back to this page. Am I missing something?

Is your Time Capsule being used for your TimeMachine back up? Or is it simply being used as an external hard drive?
To use a TimeMachine back up you must first restore it

How do i disable mouse button 4 and 5 to open new tabs or windows?

Okay so I got myself a new mouse, its a logitech G700s mouse but I don't think that matters anyway.
The problem is that the extra buttons on the mouse (small buttons on the side) i have are assigned as "mouse button 4" and "mouse button 5". Now to a standart mac system these buttons are assigned to open a new window or a new tab in safari but when I customly set these buttons to something else it does both of those things. For example i sat the mouse button 5 to mission control (show all windows) but now if I am using safari it also opens something in a new page if I am holding the cursor on a link.
I just want to know how I can remove that function. To make the mouse button 5 and 4 do nothing.
The system I use to customise the mouse buttons are a separate program. I need to know how to disable this new page function in the mac software.

Firefox will only open once from desktop and won't open new tabs or windows

When I clicked on Firefox's desktop icon this morning it took a solid 5 minutes for the browser window to open, and at that time I just chalked it up to my computer being slow.
Once it did open I soon encountered the first problem: when I clicked on "Open Link in New Window" or "Open Link in New Tab" nothing happened. Subsequently, when I did navigate to a website I was unable to click on any links whatsoever. I closed the window and tried to restart Firefox which is when I ran into the second problem: it wouldn't open. I opened the Task Manager and terminated firefox.exe, attempted to open via both the desktop icon and program folder but had no luck. If I restart my computer I'm able to open just the one browser window but with the same results of the first issue I mentioned.
I've tried all of Mozilla's troubleshooting tips in the "Firefox will not start" section with no luck. I've also uninstalled then reinstalled with no luck.

Firefox won't open new tabs when I click, also he doesn't open new tabs when I use CTRL+T. Any solutions?

When I want to open a new tab, firefox doesn't do it. The problem is the same when I use CTRL+T. So I can't open any new tabs.
Nothing seems to work: restart the pc, closing firefox,...

Uninstall the '''''Ask Toolbar'''''. It can cause that problem.

Clicking link doesn't open new tab

Clicking a link in e-mail (MAC Mail) will open FF and direct to page, IF Firefox is closed. Fine.
However, if FF is already running, clicking the link only brings FF to the forefront, but does not open a new tab, nor does the link populate in the current tab window. The only way to make it work is to right click to get the "Quick Look URL", then open that page.

Justin,
I just took your observation and rolled back Firefox to the previous version 31.0. That fixed it! Might want to give it a try.

Mouse wheel click doesn't open new tabs correctly?

Since upgrading to FF4, whenever I mouse click a bookmark on my bookmark toolbar, it will open a blank new tab with the URL in the address line, but will not load the page. I have to select the URL in the address line and press enter, or press the green arrow button. Shouldn't web pages automatically load once I mouse wheel click on a bookmark?
any suggestions?

Alan McClean has alluded to the cause of this behaviour but I think others would benefit from a full explanation because it doesn't appear to be documented. I might add that Business Objects support were no help at all on this (they suggested I had a problem with my mouse, PC or network which I don't).
Normal response to a mouse double-click on a document name in InfoView XI3:
The double-click action performs the default action on the right-click list. This is the option you see in bold when you right-click on a document name. The default action is 'View' document. So when you double-click on the document it opens for viewing.
In CMC, under Applications>InfoView if you set 'Default viewing action on listing page:' to 'View the latest successful instance of the object' then the double-click behaviour changes:
The double-click action now tries to open the latest successful instance of a document. I found that any document in my Inbox or any document with instances (e.g. scheduled report) will still open for viewing using the double-click. For any other document the double-click fails silently. I assume this is because there simply isn't a latest instance to open.
Conclusions:
1. Don't use the 'View the latest successful instance of the object'. I have reset my CMC setting back to 'View the object'.
2. I think Business Objects should change the double-click behaviour so that rather than fail silently it opens the document.

Links in webviewer won't open new tab or window

I want to link out to a test, which once completed can be closed and one can resume reading. my iOS and android folios work great, webviewer not so much.
Link out works, back button goes to cover, I have tried both buttons and hyperlinks and I have tried both open in the in app browser and open in device browser, all open in same window, no new tab
I'm game for any workaround.

Hi everyone, I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I have been very very frustrated by this problem. [I could not create new windows, and anything that opens new windows, such as trying to see what Add-ons you have etc would not work]. I read about changing screen alignment to the top... I have one screen so the option does not exist. The above messages would not fix this problem. I searched hard and did find a solution in the end. I read stuff about removing Add-ons until the problem is fixed, but its simply not the case.
First of all open Firefox. next go to options: Help --- 'Restart with Add-ons disabled'. Tick the box for add-ons, restart firefox. Next go to Tools --- Add-ons. Next (In the Add-ons Manager' click on 'Plugins' on the left hand side pane. Look for the small blue writing that says 'Check to see if your plugins are up to date'.
Now notice it should say 'Missing Flash'. "For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Flash. Please upgrade to the latest version". I followed this, reinstalled Flash and it now works as it always did, no problems. For people where the above fix didn't work, try this one out. Hope it helps people!

Firefox 9 opens new window when opening new tab on Windows 7

When I load FF 9, then click on the + to open a new tab, it does so, but in the quickstart bar in Windows 7, it shows as another window of FF, although the new tab "seems" to be in the original instance of FF. Effectively, what I mean is, if I have 4 tabs open, it shows 4 Firefox windows in the taskbar.
Is there a fix for this?
Thanks and regards,
Clive

I'm assuming you are referring to Tab Previews in the Win7 Taskbar.
This can be turned of rather easily.
*Open a New Tab
**Type about:config in the address bar
When the page loads click "I'll be careful, I Promise"
In the "Filter" bar at the top of the page type
*browser.taskbar.previews.enable
**Double click it to set the Value to FALSE
If you simply type "Taskbar" in the filter, this will give you ever option that pertains to the windows 7 taskbar.

Firefox won't let me open new tabs since windows updated yesterday

Windows update ran and installed new updates yesterday (9th Feb) the PC restarted and since then Firefox will not allow me to open a new tab.

# In the Tools menu select Add-ons to open the add-ons manager.
# In the Add-ons manager select the Extensions panel
# In the list of Extensions click on Ask Toolbar, then click the Uninstall button
# Restart Firefox and the Ask toolbar will be uninstalled.

I can't open a new tab. The new tab appears, but when I click on it, it won't do anything

When I try to open a new tab to the right of my very first tab when I open Firefox, it won't open a new tab. The only way I can get a new tab is to right click on a link somewhere on my homepage and tell it to open a new tab for that link.

Try uninstalling the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and the current version of Firefox.

I want to open my bookmarks on the toolbar to a new tab. But when I click it, it replaces the webside I am browsing not to a new tab. How would I achieve this? Besides, I don't want to drag the icons. What I want is simply click it. Thank you.

I am a new user of Firefox. I don't what is my edition but I just download it to my desktop yesterday.

A middle-click on the bookmark should open it in a new tab. Alternatively there are quite a few tab related add-ons that give you the option to open bookmarks in a new tab. Some examples are:
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/13784/ Open Bookmarks in New Tab]
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1122/ Tab Mix Plus]
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59961/ Tab Utilities]
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/14439/ Tabberwocky]
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/13288/ Super Tab Mode]
The last 4 also add many other features relating to tabbed browsing.

On yahoo mail doesn't open online messenger contats windows when i want to chat

Yahoo Mail has a web messenger, in Firefox 8 all worked fine, but after upgrading to 9.0.1 when i click on a contact in my contacts list (to send a IM) nothing happens, in Firefox 8, when i clicked on a contact, a window opened and i could type my message, insert smiles... and send messages. So in Firefox 9.0.1 when i do the same thing nothing happens, no window appears and i can't type or send messages. Tried disabling adblockplus, but this didn't solved the problem.
