The "when I open a new link in a new tab, switch to it immediately" check box is not checked but it acts as if I check the check box

The "when I open a new link in a new tab, switch to it immediately" check box is not checked but it acts as if I have checked the check box.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== after I install the Persona themes

I was having the same problem and was looking for solutions when I came across this posting. Disabling GoodSearch solved the problem for me. Hopefully GoodSearch will update soon and resolve the issue permanently so I can use it again.

  • I recently updated to version 5.0, however, when I open up a link in a new window, there is no address in the new window's address bar, just a blank box.

    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.

    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

  • When I open an item/link in a new tab, the new tab doesn't reflect the appropriate url

    When I open a new tab, the url reflects the old tab.
    For example, I downloaded the addon that allows you to determine what the new tab will display. I picked google. Well, google, opens alright, but the new URL reflects Yahoo.com, which is where I WAS. This seems pretty wonky to me. How do I fix it.

  • When i open an irc link with a channel name that contains "~" at the end, firefox (14.0.1) opens the same channel name but with "%7E" instead of "~" at the end

    when i open an irc link with a channel name that contains "~" at the end firefox (14.0.1) opens the same channel name but with "%7E" instead of "~" at the end
    http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/2856/clipboard05nq.jpg

    I can not open the image, but I can say something in general about the tilde.<br>
    The tilde "~" is an unreserved character and therefore it can be replaced by its percent-encoded form "%7E" inside a URI without changing meaning. See<br>
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-encoding<br>
    According to section 2.3 of RFC3986 we should prefer the unencoded form so this behavior seems to be a bit out-dated.<br>

  • Why is the option to open new links in a new window not available?

    Hi, I'd like to select the option to open new links in a new window instead of new tab but the option is greyed out. Can anyone help me on this, please? I tried to untick "Block popup windows" to see if that would help but it didn't.

    Do you mean the setting in Options > Tab or in the right-click context menu of a link on web pages?
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • "open link in new tab -switch to it immediately" cannot be disabled

    When I left click a link, FF 14.01 will switch to the new tab immediately. When I right click and say "open link in new tab", FF won't switch immediately. I have done all the obvious things in tools/options,and have also reset FF to its default state and disabled all add-ons and extensions. Before I do a complete uninstall/reinstall to see if that works, any other ideas?
    Is there an entry in the windows 7 registry that would force FF to always switch to the new tab when a link is left clicked? I ask this because I suspect the problem might be malware related. The system is completed clean now, so that is not the problem.

    Do you mean Ctrl+left click or just plain left click? I think a plain left click always navigates immediately whether the page opens in the same tab, new window, or new tab. What behavior did you have before, if it was different?

  • When I open an old pages doc in new pages 5.0 objects in table cells are removed. how can I stop this?

    When I open an old pages doc with new pages 5.0 - objects, specifically pictures, in table cells are removed. Is there a way I can stop this?

    nigel32,
    Gavin is right.  You are bound to lose images in tables of docs made in previous versions.  If you wish to continue using Pages 5.0 to edit docs from previous versions, you can try re-inserting your images using the following method:
    1.  Click on the cell you want to insert to.
    2.  Select CELL on the right contextual menu.
    4.  Click on FILL and select IMAGE FILL.
    5.  Click CHOOSE then select the image you need from Finder.
    6.  Tweak the appearance using the SCALE slider or drop down menu.

  • When I open about this mac - more info and I switch through the tabs (display,memory,storage,support,service) it lags (fps drops, animation looks choppy not smooth). Why does this happen? (over 300 gb free,same programs installed,free desk-downloads)

    When I open about this mac -> more info and I switch through the tabs (display,memory,storage,support,service) it lags (fps drops, animation looks choppy not smooth) even though all the mac (programs , interface ) works smooth . Why does this happen? (over 300 gb free,same programs installed,free desktop-downloads -no garbage there- everything neat and tidy.) Need some help. Only there it the animations goes like 2 fps and is not smooth. I do not understand why because the programs are the same so its the usage. Nothing is changed, yet i experience this little issue for a couple of days.

    OK, I'm confused. When I do About this Mac > More Info in OS10.9, I don't see any animation other than the window resizing. Is that the animation you are describing?
    Which if any of the following apply to your computer:
    1) Are you running any anti-virus/internet security applications?
    2) Are you running any "cleaning/tune-up/optimizations" applications?
    3) Any peer-to-peer or torrent downloading software?
    4) Any third-party disk backup software that came bundled with an external hard drive?
    5) Any online backup scheme other than iCloud (Carbonite; GoogleDrive; MS One Drive)?
    6) Did your financial institution ask you to install Trusteer EndPoint Protection (also known as Trusteer Rapport)?

    This has nothing to do with Mozilla Firefox. Device drivers are with usb drivers most of the time.

    They will help you just make sure that you make a appointment before you go into the store. Also if the iPhone needs to be replaced and you are not within your year of hardware coverage, that is when they will ask you to pay a fee.

    Sorry, just to confirm, I DID NOT ACTUALLY ANSWER MY OWN QUESTION!
    I replied to the previous message from my iphone and I managed to hit the link to "This has answered my question" by accident!
    I AM STILL LOOKING FOR A RESOLUTION TO MY ORIGINAL PROBLEM. CAN SOMEONE ALSO NIW TELL ME HOW TO GET RID OF THE GREEN TEXT TGAT SAYS TGAT MY QUESTION IS ANSWERED? That is a pain! It should at least ask you to confirm that your question is actually answered and you didn't hit it by mistake, like I did!

    It needs the restrictions passcode. You or someone with physical access to the phone had to set it. It can not set itself.
