Open Finder in new window

In Finder, you can right click a folder and open in new tab. Is there a way to open in new window?

Command when double clicking on the folder will open a new Finder window and retain the original one. Option-command will open a new window and close the old one (so in effect the same as just double-clicking except that the window size and shape may be different).

When clicking on links that open in a new window, the links don't open and Firefox freezes in a way. I can navigate the page I am on but cannot click to open a new tab or bookmark.

When navigating the internet, if I come across a web page that has a link to open a picture or program in a new window, if I click on it, it does not open. Firefox immediately looses functionality in that I cannot open a new tab with the mouse wheel, right click to open a new tab, or use my bookmarks in either the drop down or toolbar to navigate away. I can usually still navigate the page that I am on, for example, (https://loanconsolidation.ed.gov/AppEntry/apply-online/appindex.jsp), when it freezes I cannot click on any of the content at the center of the page but I can still use the links from the list on the far left. For an example of the pictures, (http://www.insect-sale.com/), if you click on "New Arrivals" at the top of the page it takes you to a list of products that can only be viewed by clicking on them. Usually a picture of the item would open in a small window but it does not and Firefox freezes. This has also happen when I try a view a degree audit on a school's website where a program would usually open in a new window. The only thing I have been able to find that still functions properly when this happens is the home page button. I can click on it or use the wheel to open it in a tab just fine, but if I try and go anywhere else I cannot. The only way I can get Firefox back to normal is to use the Task Manager and end the process. Another thing I have noticed, that may or may not be related; is that my Norton Internet Security toolbar, that should show up below the bookmarks toolbar and above the tabs, only shows up about 1 out of every 10 times I open Firefox. Some days it doesn't show up at all. If it does show up and I log into Identity Safe, the autofill for the programed website works, even if the toolbar doesn't show up the next time I open Firefox.

Here you should see two columns: Content Type on the left, Actions on the right.
Find and select excel spreadsheet or any other content type in the left column. There should be a corresponding action in the right column. What is it? You can use the drop-down list to select the option you want:
Always Ask - Firefox will ask each time: What do you want to do with this file?
Save file - Firefox will save this file to your computer
Use - Firefox will give this file to the program to open it
In case of saving, Firefox will either prompt you every time where you want the file to be saved, or save it to the default location. It depends on the preference in

When I open a new link or bookmark I want it to open in a new window not a slew of tabs so I can see which sites I have open.

I'm sorry if I'm not using the correct terminology. When I open a new window or a link I want it to open a whole new window so I have 500 open FireFox tabs in my taskbar if I open that many windows. I do not like having everything open in one window. Used to be I could find how to undo that but you changed everything on me and now only rocket scientists can use your application. If Chrome and Internet Explorer weren't so ridiculous, I would change. Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

This didn't help me at all. I want a separate window to open each time I open a new tab or bookmark. Currently when I open a new link it just adds a tab to the window already open so from my non-technie point of view, I only have one window open and have to go up top to see what is open vs. being able to look below in my taskbar and see what I have open.

How can I set web links to open in a new window?

I'm using the links tool in Acrobat 5.05 to create links in my pdf to other websites, not documents. When the pdf is posted online, I need those links to open in a new window. Now they open in the same window, which subjects the viewer to using the back button to return to the originating pdf and waiting for it to completely reload. This is a sizeable pdf file, making that very time consuming. I tried Un-checking the option about "Open Cross Document Links in Same Window" but tests indicated that it made no difference.
If you need more info to clarify my question, please just ask. Any suggestions in regard to solving this will be appreciated.
My apologies if a similar question has already been asked/answered. I did not find reference to it in my search.
Thank you.

You can use JavaScript for this. For example:
app.launchURL("http://www.adobe.com", true);
More information is in the Acrobat JavaScript reference. Note that this method is new to Acrobat 7. You can still use Acrobat 5 to create the JavaScript, but it won't work for versions less than 7, or for most users of non-Adobe PDF viewers. If you go this route, you should add some code that checks the version of Acrobat (Reader), and only execute the above code if 7 or above.

When I click on any Bookmark, how do I set it to open in a new window by default?

Right clicking an icon in the Bookmarks Toolbar provides a drop down menu. That menu has "Open" as the Default and "Open in a New Window" as the second choice. I'd like to make "Open in a New Window" the Default. In other words, I'd like to be able to click on a Bookmark icon and open a new window. Is there a line in 'about:config' that I can change to accomplish this?

When I click on a link within a website to open a document (word, excel etc.), Firefox doesn't open it. Even when I tell it to open in a new window, it just opens a blank tab labeled "untitled."

When I try to click on a link to a document within a website, that document doesn't open like it should. For instance, if I go to the census website and click on a link to open an excel spreadsheet, Firefox doesn't do it. It usually does nothing; if I tell it to open in a new window or tab, it just opens a tab labeled "untitled" that ends up being a blank page.

When I have 4 or 5 tabs open, selecting one of them often forces that tab to open as a new window and close in the original window

FF 32.0.1. Moving between tabs that are already open, clicking on one which I have opened before forces it to close and open as a new window, which is a real pain. It seems to happen when I have 4 or 5 open tabs, rather than 2 or 3.
This has only been happening in the last week, after a clean Windows reinstall.
I've searched and found lots of people have problems with new windows opening when they just want a new tab, but this seems to be about opening fresh tabs rather than returning to one that's already open, so I can't find the same problem as I describe.

This can happen if you drag a tab slightly down in the browser window while clicking.
Firefox has a feature called tear-off tabs
You can detach a tab from the current window and open it in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window.
You can also do this via the right-click context menu of a tab: Move to New Window
You can drag that tab back to the tab bar in the original window to undo that detaching.

With Mavericks I have to hold command key down and double click to get a sub folder to open in a new window. Can I go back to just double clicking ?

With Mavericks I have to hold command key down and double click to get a sub folder to open in a new window. Can I go back to just double clicking ?

Of course. To do it, open a Finder window, go to Finder menu (on the menu bar) > Preferences > General, and untick "Open folders in tabs instead of new windows".

Open link in new window inSafari 5.0.1

Without doing anything I know of I no longer have "OPEN LINK IN NEW TAB" when I right click over a link. Also when I right click "OPEN LINK IN NEW WINDOW" I get a blank TAB that says "UNTITLED".
Thanks for any help

HI,
From your Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Empty Cache.
Relaunch Safari.
If that didn't make a difference, troubleshoot the Safari .plist file.
Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Now launch Safari. If Tabs work as they should, them move the .plist file to the Trash.

Every time I try to open a new tab, it open a whole new window and i am ending up with 6 or 7 unmanagable things, please help.

every time I try to open a new tab, it opens a whole new window, which makes what I use firefox for completely unmanagable. I also updated it the other day and all the changes I made are gone!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== this evening

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Project sporadically opens in a new window, instead of tab

Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to read my post. I have not been able to find this issue on the Internet or on this forum. I apologize in advance if it has been resolved.
I always browse and open often my projects from my desktop.
When I had Captivate 6.0, it would open a window and then, for each project, it would open a tab.
After the upgrade to Captivate 8, whenever I open a project, Captivate will always open in a separate/new window for each project !!!
Is there a way to tell Captivate to ALWAYS OPEN NEW PROJECT in current window, but different tab?
I tried opening a project from the menu bar (File > Open > Select project), and it still opens in a new window.
Thank you for your time.
Eric

Hi Eric
Actually, I'm rather surprised to hear that any version of Captivate would simply open the second or subsequent projects in the same instance but in different tabs. New windows are what I would fully expect if opening projects by simply double-clicking them from the desktop.
I never advise folks to operate that way. My personal view is to open them by opening Captivate first, then using the File > Open (or Ctrl+O as Lilybiri uses).
If you feel it should operate differently, please consider filing a bug report using the link below.

Opening document in new window

I've added a button to the online help toolbar in the Skin
Editor and created a link to the manual in the Action Tab. I
compiled the help and when I select the button, the document comes
up in the topic pane window in the online help. I want the document
to open in a new window with the appropriate application (Word for
.doc, Adobe Reader for .PDF, etc.). I think this requires some
javascript but not sure. How would I go about doing this?
Thanks in advance for your time.
Bill

Hi Bill
I believe that how these documents open are dependent upon
the settings for each PC viewing the page. For .PDF content, each
user has the ability to configure the settings for their PDF reader
to choose between whether PDF files open in the browser or in the
PDF reader. Additionally, browser add ins may have a role too. For
example, I use FireFox as my primary browser. I have an add in for
FireFox that allows me to choose what happens when I click a link
that opens a PDF. The add in prompts me for my desired action.
I believe Word is similar, but I'm not sure where you would
go to change the behavior of how it opens. But I do believe there
is a setting on each Windows install that governs how Word
documents are handled when opened from a link on a web page.
Actually, I just conducted a Google search and here is a link
or two that you may find interesting.

Interactive PDF, open file in new window.

Hello everyone,
I was unable to find this on the net or I could be using the wrong typed search. Created a successful interactive document. I attached a portfolio to this interactive document. I have 3 images. Two are hyperlinked to specific urls which work just fine. I have a sample button which opens the pdf. The only problem I have is that the pdf open in the current pdf window of the past file, so one has to reopen the original file again to access it. I could create a button on the portfolio webpage to go back to the original document, but that would be 20 buttons.
Is there a way for someone to click on the sample button, but open up a new window like you would for a webpage?
Right now the setup in the Buttons and Forms window:
Sample button
Type: button
Name: Sample
Event: On Release or Tap
Open File - Checked
Select File: current path
PDF Options
Description: Portfolio Samples
Printable - Checked.
That is pretty much it.

Not everything can be done in InDesign when it comes to interactivity and forms. I believe you have to use a JavaScript in Acrobat to get the file to open in a new window. I can't provide you a specific reference. Ask on the Acrobat forums.

For some reason if I click a link that needs to open in a new window, the new window is blank. This just started happening when firefox updated itself last time

Ever since firefox automatically updated itself, I am not able to open websites in new windows - meaning that if I am on a website and you click a link on it that opens in a new window, that new window is blank. It used to work perfectly. I even checked my foxit reader and that it working well

Hello Angelika.
I should bring your attention to the fact that your user agent says you're using Firefox 3.6, not 3.0. I will remind you that Firefox 3.0 has been discontinued and is no longer supported. Furthermore, it has known bugs and security problems.
As for your problem, you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.
