Stop mplayer from trying to open new windows

This isn't distro-specific, it's typical mplayer. If I associate mplayer (or kmplayer) with mp3 files, then doubleclick one when another mp3 is already playing, mplayer will try to open again.
The mp3 plays just fine, it's just that I see a window trying to open in the taskbar, and then failing. Right-clicking on a file and telling it to play in (K)mplayer works just fine, it's double-clicking that doesn't.

Open Mail, then open Preferences (command-comma), and on the "General" pane the top entry is "Default email reader."  Choose Mail (6.3) from the box.
Now all mailto: links will open Mail by default.  If you ever want to set another mail client as the default, choose it in that box.

  • How can I stop it from trying to open a window I don't recognize?

    I had a virus attack last week. With the help of McAfee, everything seems to be cleaned up.
    EXCEPT, Firefox keeps trying to open a new window with an unknown web address.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall, anti-virus software) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Security Sandbox Violation when trying to open new window

    Hi guys
    I have a flash button that I would like to open a new window
    of a specific size when clicked. I found some code on a thread at
    flashkit and tried that out, but when testing in flash I get the
    following message:
    *** Security Sandbox Violation ***

    I also tried steamrolling ahead and testing it from
    dreamweaver after inserting the flash onto my page, but it doesn't
    fucntion. No surprises there.
    Would really appreciate it if someone could help me out with
    this.

  • Won't open homepage on open, won't open web pages from the menu 'open new window', Can't open menu button

    Ok, since update to version 31.0, I have been having some problems.
    I have tried doing everything stated in the support page about resetting, reinstalling, safe mode, restarting pc etc.
    First problem, when I open Firefox no web page loads. It just says New Tab and a blank white page. If I press the home button I am taken to my homepage which is google.
    Second problem, when I right click on a link and the menu pops up, if I click open in new window, a new window opens but it just says New Tab with a blank page and no URL information, just blank.
    Third problem, the Open Menu button just doesn't work at all. You can click all you like, that thing is not opening.
    I am really stuck as to what to do. I have only been using Firefox for about a month and t was good until these problems. If I can't resolve it, I will have to use another browser as it is really annoying.
    I am using Windows 8.1 by the way and have scanned my computer thouroughly for both virus's and malware.

    Hi zenithtwc, to test whether this is a settings issue, could you do a three-minute experiment?
    '''Create a new Firefox profile'''
    A new profile will have your system-installed plugins (e.g., Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions, or other customizations. It also should have completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder.
    Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run):
    firefox.exe -P
    ''Don't delete anything here.'' Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.
    Click the Create Profile button, assign a name like Test731, and skip the option to change the folder location. Then start Firefox in the new profile you created.
    Can it reach the internet?
    When returning to the Profile Manager, you might be tempted to use the Delete Profile button. But... it's a bit too easy to accidentally delete your "real" profile, so I recommend resisting the temptation. If you do want to clean up later, I suggest making a backup of all your profiles first in case something were to go wrong.

  • TS1969 What if I want iTunes to run from the other user's account, but I want to work in my account for a while, without interupting what is playing?  When I switch to my account, how can I STOP iTunes FROM TRYING TO OPEN on my side?

    We like listening to music playing from wife's user account.
    I want to do some work from my account.
    I don't want iTunes to open on my user account. 
    It keeps trying to, giving me the alert beep and the "Cannot Open iTunes" alert.
    How do I make it stop trying to automatically open on one account when it is already playing on the other account?
    Again, I want to keep listening to what is playing through my wife's account, therefore I don't want it to open or try to open on my account.
    Thanks for any guidance.

    Thanks. I messed up with my husbands iphone because I was told the wrong thing. Now everytime I sync his phone it makes it look just like the other phone I had. Do you know how I can fix taht for his phone? Any settings I can turn off that will prevent all of my apps/contacts, etc from auto populating his phone?

  • How stop FF31 from opening new window? I want to open all links in new tab at top of page.

    I think the following, quote below, from the help page is my problem.
    I have this one website I use that when I click on a link within the website it is opening a new window with the tab at the bottom. Also, when this happens, I am losing the orange FireFox rectangle, bookmarks and navigation options. How can I set FF31 so that the link opens in a new tab and I keep all my options? I am using Classic Theme Restorer 1.2.3. I also notice that in the new window I lose the ability to use some of the addons.
    I have two laptops and both are running FF31 and W7. One of them is working perfectly and the other is having this problem. As far as I can tell they are both set up the same. The only difference is that when I upgraded to FF31 they both had difference older versions of FireFox. I also read in the help forum that maybe I need to go back to FireFox 28 to accomplish what I am trying to accomplish.
    I noticed that when I go under about:config that the version of FF that is not working has fewer available options versus the version that is working. An example would be that the working version has "browser.tabs.onTop" where on the other laptop this is missing.
    >>>Open new windows in a new tab instead: This option controls whether links from other applications or from web pages which request to open them in new windows are opened in a new window or a new tab in the most recent window.
    Note: If you have chosen to open pages in new tabs, Firefox will ignore this option and will open a new window from a link if the page author specified that the new window should have a specific size, because some pages can only be displayed correctly at a specific size.<<<
    Thank you in advance for any help,
    yeto

    You can override how links are opened via the browser.link.open_newwindow.override pref.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow
    *1: current tab; 2:new window; 3:new tab;

  • When Firefox tries to open another window, I get a failed script message: Script: chrome://tavgp/content/libs/include.js:595 and I get asked to continue or stop it. When I stop it, the new window opens. How do I fix this?

    Whenever I try to open another Firefox window (by right clicking on a link or if a link tries to open a window - like printing Google maps/directions), I get a pop-up window that says a script is busy or not responding and gives me the choice to continue or stop script. The new window will only open if I choose stop script. The offending script is always: Script: chrome://tavgp/content/libs/include.js:595
    How do I fix this?

    That is a problem with an AVG extension or toolbar.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Aurora/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > 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.

  • How to stop Finder from opening new windows to view contents of folders.

    I have 2 folders on my desktop, called "Home" and "Work." Both are aliases to files stored in user/documents on my HD. Both contain many folders within folders within folders and, ultimately, documents. When I double click on the "Home" desktop alias, a finder window opens showing contents. When I click on any folder within that window, it does what I want it to...switches to the contents of that folder (within same window, without opening a new one.) This works for everything in that folder.
    When I double click on a folder within the "Work" folder, however, it opens a new window at every level. By the time I get to the document I want, I may have 5 or 6 windows open, which I then have to manually close.
    I have gone into Finder/Preferences/General and the "Always open new window" box is NOT checked. Any one know why it would still be doing this? (No new applications are opening when I click on the folders, just a new finder window.) And why would it do it for one desktop folder and not the other?
    I looked through discussions till my head spun and only saw the Finder/Preferences fix, so I'm hoping there's another fix, like a preference file somewhere that I just need to trash. Any help would be appreciated.

    I don't know if this is the problem, but for windows in "Icon" or "List" view that are set so that the "Toolbar" is not showing, a folder opened within that window will tend to open a new window. This is just a difference in behaviour between the two modes. To show / hide the toolbar, try clicking the elongated button in the upper right corner, in the "titlebar" of the window, or choose "Show Toolbar" / "Hide Toolbar" from the "View" menu.
    Additionally, a workaround might be to switch to "Column" view ("View" > "as Columns" ⌘3), since opening a folder within a window in "Column" view does not appear to spawn a new window, even with the "Toolbar" hidden. Another option might be to hold down the "option" key while opening the folder - this causes the previous window to close as the new window is opened.

  • How can I stop iTunes from trying to start in another open user account?

    When I run iTunes, it often tries to open in another open User account, causing distracting Windows warning tones.  How can I stop it from trying to automatically open in the other account?

    Close iTunes before switching profiles or disable fast user switching.

  • I downloaded iMesh and I can't stop it from automatically popping up each time I request a new tab. I have uninstalled the program, but I want to stop it from defaulting as a new tab. I tried uninstalling, but it is no longer installed as an add-on

    I downloaded iMesh and I can't stop it from automatically popping up each time I request a new tab. I have uninstalled the program, but I want to stop it from defaulting as a new tab. I tried uninstalling the add on and plug in, but it is no longer installed as an add-on or plug in. How do I get the "new tab" request to simply open with a blank address in the address box instead of www.imesh.com.

    Ok, I finally managed to get rid of it.
    First I did the thing with the about:config but I flitered for imesh instead and managed to reset two thing but when I got to the keyword.URL I got the same thing as lolbabe98 did with the "An attempt to change your search engine or homepage was blocked."
    Then I did a search on my C: drive for iMesh and discovered some things that hadn't been removed even though I had unistalled both the toolbar and the actual program. After that it worked fine and I now have a regular "untitled" tab when I open a new tab.
    One last thing, when I tried to remove some of the files there was one that said it was in use, it was called datamanagerUI or something rather. The only thing I had to do there was to open Task Manager and kill a process called DATAMN~1 and I was able to remove it. Hope this helps.

  • How to open new window and generate oracle report from apex

    Hi,
    I had created an application that generates PDF files using Oracle Reports, following this Guide.
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/howtos/howto_integrate_oracle_reports.html
    And I followed 'Advanced Technique', so that users can't generate PDF file by changing URL and parameters. This is done for security reasons.
    But in this tutorial, when 'Go' button is pressed, the PDF file is displayed on the same window of apex application. If so, user might close the window by mistake. In order to avoid this, another window have to be opened.
    So, I put this code in the BRANCH - URL Target. (Note that this is not in Optional URL Redirect in the button property, but the branch which is called by the button.)
    javascript:popupURL('&REPORTS_URL.quotation&P2100_REP_JOB_ID.')
    But if the button is pressed, I get this error.
    ERR-1777: Page 2100 provided no page to branch to. Please report this error to your application administrator.
    Restart Application
    If I put the code 'javascritpt ....' in the Optional URL Redirect, another window opens successfully, but the Process to generate report job is not executed.
    Does anyone know how to open new window from the Branch in this case?

    G'day Shohei,
    Try putting your javascript into your plsql process using the htp.p(); procedure.
    For example, something along these lines should do it:
    BEGIN
    -- Your other process code goes here...
    htp.p('<script type="javascript/text">');
    htp.p('popupURL("&REPORTS_URL.quotation&P2100_REP_JOB_ID.")');
    htp.p('</script>');
    END;
    What happens is the javascript is browser based whereas your plsql process is server based and so if you put the javascript into your button item Optional URL Redirect it is executed prior to getting to the page plsql process and therefore it will never execute the process. When you have it in your branch which normally follows the processes, control has been handed to the server and the javascript cannot be executed and so your page throws the error "Page 2100 provided no page to branch to"... By "seeding" the plsql process with the embedded javascript in the htp.p() procedure you can achieve the desired result. You could also have it as a separate process also as long as it is sequenced correctly to follow your other process.
    HTH
    Cheers,
    Mike

  • Opening new window on button click from pdf without loosing session

    Hi,
    In my Java web applicaion on click of a link, we are opening a new window in which we are displaying a pdf. There are 5 buttons on this pdf.
    On clicking of this button again we are opening a application link in new window. But in this window we are not gettting our session, which is there in first two window.
    For opening new window from pdf button click we are using
    var dynamicUrl3 = myappurl;
    app.launchURL(dynamicUrl, true); 
    How can i open new window with the same sesion from the pdf button.
    Please help for the same.
    Thanks,
    Abhijit Mohite.

    Yes, with target="_blank" in a link or a form.Thanks for ur valuable suggestion. I changed the button to link.
    Its working fine now without JavaScript.
    Now i got another requirement. When user select some items and press a button in the new popup window, the window must close on button click and the parent window must refresh. This must also be done without using JavaScript.
    Is this possible? Please give me an idea to do this.
    Thanks.

  • Firefox 4 stops opening new windows after browser window dragged to second display

    Firefox 4 stops opening new windows after browser window dragged to second display. It's weird. Behavior is fine until I drag any browser window to the attached second display, and after this point it stops opening new windows but will still open new tabs in the same window. Restart fixes it until I drag the window back to the second display.
    "Show all bookmarks" stops working too--won't open a new window.
    This is after clean reinstall with total deletion of any Firefox/Mozilla folders and the previously installed app and a restart of the computer.
