Previous window opens when opening a new window

When I have a number of windows open, and am looking at, say the third window and wish to open a new window, the last window in the sequence opens just before the new window.
Although the new window will be on screen, as soon as I close the new window, instead of going back to my last viewed window, it goes to the last window in the bar.......it is very annoying and would like to get rid of this problem.

What's an "I bar?"

  • When opening a new window, any clicks within the new window click through to the original window so you can't scroll or save from the new window.

    Anytime that a new window is opened (such as when sending an email message or opening a pdf) I am unable to click on the new window. I can't click send or click on the scroll bars of the new window. If I attempt to click on the window it clicks on whatever is behind the window instead. If the new window opens with a cursor within it then I am able to type or scroll through with keyboard arrows, but cannot click or use the mouse scroll buttons. I also cannot choose items from drop down menus with the mouse (even in the original window). I must use the keyboard arrows to select any menu options.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • When I choose to open a new tab from a website, such as facebook, it always opens it in a new window. How do I change this to just opening a new tab. I tried changing the tab settings but it did not work

    When I choose to open a new tab from a website, such as facebook, it always opens it in a new window. How do I change this to just opening a new tab. I tried changing the tab settings but it did not work. I did not have the problem until I started using firefox 4.

    It is probably a JavaScript link.
    You can probably force it where you want it with a keyboard shortcut
    either "Ctrl+click" or "Ctrl+Shift+click". see

  • Moving tabs from one window to another makes the new window vanish. I have hot corners enabled so when I move up to the right corner of my display I can see all my open windows but when I click on the tab that I moved to make it its own window it vanishes

    Moving tabs from one window to another makes the new window vanish. I have hot corners enabled so when I move up to the right corner of my display I can see all my open windows but when I click on the tab that I moved to make it its own window it vanishes

    I came up with an alternative solution.
    Instead of actually trying to move the JInternalFrame from one JDesktopPane to another, I added a single, maximized JInternalFrame to the left side. When one of the right side frames is to be docked, I merely copy its ContentPane to the single JInternalFrame on the left, set the original to be non-visible, and adjust the properties of the JSplitPane to make the "docked" frame appear.
    When the "close" button on the docked frame is pressed, I simply undo this procedure to "undock" the frame and redisplay it on the right-hand side (with its content intact from the docked frame, but in its original position).

  • Problem creating playlists library window closes when opening new playlist

    library window closes when opening new playlist impossible to drag and drop songs from lib to new playlist

    Hi
    You don't need to open a playlist to drag and drop from your library. Just open the library and drag the selected item or items to the NAME of the chosen playlist (in blue bars on the lower left) and just drop it there. When you hold the items over the playlist name, it will show you a little green dot with a plus sign in it and the number or items being dropped. Then when you are done dragging and dropping you can open the playlist and see that the items were added. Hope this makes sense.
    Good luck!

  • Stops working when I chose to open something in a new window

    When I open firefox, it takes about 5 minutes for it to actually open, and then if I go to a website and a new window pops up, or if something auto opens in a new window, or if I choose to open something in a new window, firefox stops responding, so I have to open up the task manager to end it and then restart it again. I've checked my plugins and made sure everything is up to date and have tried reinstalling firefox, and it's still having problems.

    Hello David.
    It's possible that you are 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 caused by one (or more than 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] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). 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 themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
    If the problem is not disappears when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there.

  • When i click new window it opens to the right of the screen with 1% showing if i click the green button it than opens in the screen how can i fix

    when i click new window it opens to the right of the screen with 1% showing if i click the green button it than opens in the screen how can i fix

    It's normal for links to open in the same tab as you browse if you left-click. You can Ctrl+click or middle click to open a link in a new tab. Are either of those broken?
    Some sites let you use a regular left click to open a link in a new tab (example: Google search settings), and some add-ons may change link behavior. Can you check whether one of your add-ons has been disabled?
    Tools > Add-ons > Extensions
    Also, if you use the Ask toolbar, try disabling it and see whether that makes any difference.

  • I am unable to open a new window / open link in a new window

    In the previous Firefox versions we are able to open a new window & open link in a new window. The feature is there when you "right click" on the tab or click on the "open a new window" but it simply not functioning

    Link context method works for me, there have been many complaints that the first two items were switched, and that can be easily modified with the "'''Menu Editor'''" extension.
    If it does not work for you an extension might be involved.
    There is also the mouse shortcut '''Shift+click''' on the link. Called mouse shortcut because it involves the mouse.
    * Firefox and other Browser Keyboard Shortcuts (Comparison Table)<br>http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/keyboard.htm
    You can make Firefox 4.0.1 and '''Firefox 5.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)]

  • I would like to open links in a new window but cannot find where to put the setting. Have unchecked the "Open new windows in new tab instead" box in the Options dialog box.

    When I click a link on a webpage or other software, I would like for it to open in a completely new window.

    You can hold the Shift key and click the left mouse button a link to open that link in a new window.
    The setting in Tools > Options > Tabs is only for links that specify a target window and you can divert such a link to a new tab instead.

  • Open Sub Report in New Window

    Hi,
    We have an application which is integrated with crystal reports.
    So when you open a report from the application it opens up in a new window. (Ours is a web based application and crystal reports opens up in IE browser)
    We have some reports which have subreports (on demand ), is there any crystal report configuration through which these subreports can be opened in a new window, as of now they open in the same main report window.
    Thanks in advance

    hello,
    you may wish to look into saving the subreport as a separate report and then:
    1) calling the report via opendocument (if your app sits on top of businessobjects enterprise or crystal reports server)
    2) calling the report via URL reporting if your app does not utilize the above platforms
    i can't guarantee the above will work as it may depend on your environment that you are hosting the reports in.
    see the help guide [here |http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31/en/xi3-1_url_reporting_opendocument_en.pdf]for more information on linking
    http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31/en/xi3-1_url_reporting_opendocument_en.pdf
    as per using a subreport and opening in a new window, this doesn't really work.
    if you want though, you can use a Report Part link to go from the open subreport back to the main report. please see more on Report Part linking in your crystal report's online help.

  • Open Firefox 4 in new window gives a Window frame and address bar does not refresh the current url

    Using Firefox 4 in Windows 7
    I have customised the position of tabs (Tabs on top) and which toolbar items I would like to see.
    The first window I open of firefox 4 always has the configuration as I set it.
    Whenever I open a new window of firefox either:
    - Right-click a link to open in a new window
    - Click a link anywhere (such as an email) to open a new window
    - When a website opens a page in a new window
    Bad Results:
    - The new window does not have the configuration as set in the main window (Tabs on top)
    - The new window has a windows type window frame around the firefox window (see two sets of window controls eg. "minimise", "restore" and "close")
    - The open page does not show the url - navigating to a new page within this window will not update the url :: strangely enough clicking the url page icon will update the url as it should be
    - Sometimes when restarting firefox, it will open the first main window with the remembered tabs and then open approx 8 or so blank new windows as described above

    This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Firefox will not open tabs in a new window

    When I right click a tab, and select the option "Open in a new window", Firefox does not respond.
    I can add as many tabs as I like, but can not open them in a new window.
    I can also right click a link and open it in a new tab, but Firefox does not do anything when I try to open the link in a new window.
    I reinstalled Firefox on my computer, and also updated Java and it did not solve the problem.
    This started happening about a week ago for no apparent reason.

    First check to see if an add-on is causing this problem, for details on how to do that see the [[troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article.
    If that does not help, try creating a new profile. Firefox stores user data in the profile folder, creating a new profile will show if the problem is with the old profile. For how to do that see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows Creating a new Firefox profile on Windows]. If the new profile works, you can transfer select data such as bookmarks and passwords to the new profile. DO not copy the preferences file, and it is best to re-install add-ons. For details of how to do that see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox transferring data to a new profile].
