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?

Go to Tools->Options->Apps
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
Tools->Options->General->Download

Right click the FireFox button in your toolbar and look in the properties- middle tab...make sure that it only has "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" with no other link added to the end. I had a similar problem this morning and found a website had attached it's link to the end so it would always pop up first and would only open a new tab.
Hope that fixed it.

How can i make my hyperlinks open in a new window or tab?

how can i make my hyperlinks open in a new window or tab?

The program is InDesign… we need to cease links which will open the linked document in a separate window. Also, the links must be maintained once a pdf is made and the files moved to another computer….

How Can I Stop Tabs from Opening in a New Window?

Since I updated to the newest version of Firefox, I am PLAGUED by a problem, and I can't get it to stop. When I return to Firefox and click on any tab, it almost always causes that tab to open in a new window. I understand this is a feature--drag a tab into the screen and it will cause that tab to open as a window, but I am not meaning to drag these tabs! I am using Firefox EXACTLY as I have used it for years, but for some reason, it seems to be interpreting my clicks differently--either I am dragging the tab a *tiny* bit, or it is simply registering that I have dragged the tab when I haven't. Is there a way to disable this feature? Or a way to decrease the sensitivity of the thing, so that you have to actually drag the tab all the way into the window before it opens as a new window? It is truly making me batty. I'm about to switch permanently to Chrome.
To be totally clear: this is happening when I am simply trying to switch from one tab to another.

You do not need to move your cursor much when pressing the mouse button to cause the tab to tear-off/tear-away into a new tab. No "sensitivity" setting that I am aware of. The tab in the new window can be dragged back to the original window.
To disable the feature, install this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bug489729-disable-detach-and-t/

Spry Gallery - how to get large image to open in a new window?

Hey guys,
I'm building a new website and decided to use Spry for the Gallery section. It works like a charm but I want to get the larger version of the image to open in a new window when someone clicks on the normal image? It shouldn't be that difficult but I'm lost. Can anyone help?
I believe I have to put a <a href> infront of the image something like this:
<div id="picture">
<div id="mainImageOutline" style="width: 0px; height: 0px;"><a href="?????" target="_blank" id="??????"><img id="mainImage" alt="main image" src=""/></a></div>
</div>
and something to the XML file...
<photo
path = "1.jpg"
width = "300"
height = "400"
thumbpath = "1.jpg"
thumbwidth = "56"
thumbheight = "75"
large = "galleries/xyz/large/1.jpg" <------- this is the large image I want to open in a new windows
>
</photo>
thanks!!

Actually, the site is for my friend and she really likes this Gallery: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/demos/gallery/index-air.html
I just want to keep this one and just edit it, so when I click on the image it opens the large image...

How do I make all links open in a new window?

I have some RSS feeds on my website. If you click one of their headlines it takes you to that source to read the story. Is there a way to make all hyper links on a webpage open in a new window? If not, is there a way to make the individual links open in a new window? The website is http://www.businessfixer.net/articles

Mark,
Target: e.g. <a href=”#” target=”_blank”> is deprecated (outdated) code. Strict doc types will not pass validation.
OP,
Most people know how to use their browsers BACK button to return to a site. Or better yet, right click on links to open them inside new tabs or windows. This should almost always be a user's decision and not a web designer's decision.
If you have all links open in new windows/tabs, In no time at all, user's browser will be stuffed with them which is ugly and can diminish browser performance.
If you need to open a new window on SELECT links, use the Behaviors Panel, press the Plus sign (+) and select Open Browser Window. Repeat this for all links you want opened in new windows.

How can I set pdfs to open in a new tab instead of prompting firefox to open them in Adobe itself?

I use a website with many links to pdfs. In Windows XP (probably an older version of firefox) I could right click on the link to open a new tab, and the pdf would open in the new tab. In Windows 7 (and updated firefox) when I right click to open a new tab, a new blank tab opens and Adobe starts up displaying the document in a new Adobe window. How can I change the settings to have pdfs open within the new tab (without opening Adobe)?

Tools -> Options -> Applications Tab
Under Content Type find Adobe
Under Action, Left click and select "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)"
That should do it!

How Do I Prevent Hyperlinks from Opening in a New Window?

Hi,
Does anyone know how to make links in the current presentation open in the same window?
While I understand that ordinarily it would make sense to have links in the middle of the presentation open in new windows so as to not make users lose their current place in a presentation when they click on a link, my presentation ends with a link to a quiz on a secure server. Because the link in Presenter forces a new window to open, it is not evident to all users that the link does anything. This is especially true for IE users.
Thanks for the help,
Todd

How to get index words to open in a "new window"

I am using RoboHelp 7, WebHelp.
I want some of my index words to link to www and NOT a topic. I can do this but when you click on the index word it opens the link in the RoboHelp pane and NOT a new window. I thought I figured out how to fix this by right-clicking on my index word, choosing Properties, Advanced, and click on the down arrow next to Frame and choose New Window. I was so proud of myself for figiuring this out. After I published my site, this still won't open the link in a new window. Does someone know if this is a known bug or am I doing something wrong? Thanks for your help.

Hi there
I just tested and the settings you mentioned caused my own WebHelp to open the link in a new window (well, it appeared as a new tab in FF, but it worked there). I also tested in IE and it worked in that as well.
Have you tested from different machines? Perhaps it's a configuration setting on your PC?
Cheers... Rick

How can I NOT have pages open in a new window or tab,I lie the old way

I would like to disable firefox fro opening pages in a new window or tab I like the old method better.
How can I do this.

Partly because of my original question, It seems every time I update there is something els I don't like

On my personal laptop when I click a bookmark it will automatically open in a new tab. On my work laptop it opens in the current tab. How do I set it to open in a new tab?

I remember it working the same way on my personal laptop and somehow I found a setting to change it but I can't find the setting now.

Click the link with the scroll wheel.

Hello.. I'm having trouble with my google bookmarks since I upgrdaded to Firefox 3.6.6, when I click on my bookmark tab it opens but then closes again in a matter of seconds. I can't seem to get my list to stay open long enough for me to browse through. A

Since upgrading to Firefox 3.6.6 my bookmarks will not stay open, when I click on the bookmarks icon on the toolbar my list opens up but then disapears again with in about 10 seconds.... i.e, not enough time for me to chose which site I want to open. I've tried deleting cookies, temp. files and I even tried a complete re-install of Firefox but I'm still getting the same problem.... Any ideas please?
Thanks.... Jon T.

I'm having difficulty visualizing what is wrong but try some basic steps first:
Launch Safari while holding a Shift key - this will start Safari with just your Home page
If you can see Reset Safari from the Safari menu, try that.
In addition to downloading and installing Safari again, try reapplying just the Snow Leopard Combo Update: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399 There is no need to uninstall Safari first.
Lastly try deleting Safari's Preferences file: ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist

When I click on my bookmarks they no longer open in a new tab, what do I do to fix it?

I just uploaded to the newest version of Firefox. Now, when I click on a bookmark the link opens in the same tab - they won't open in a new tab. However, when I click on a link in an existing page that link opens in a new tab. I miss having my bookmarked links open in their own individual tabs. Please put that function back in.

Some add-ons like Tab Mix Plus offer that as an option, but I do not recall that ever being a built-in function if Firefox.
Have you tried Middle+click or Ctrl+click? See (under Web Navigation section): http://www.7is7.com/software/firefox/shortcuts.html

How do I restore to a tab a tab that I have accidentally opened in a new window?

When you right on the tab header, there is an option there that says "Open in a New Window." This option can likewise be achieved when you left click on the tab header and drag it downward. When chosen (or done), and as a matter of course, the tab opens in a new window.
Sometimes by movement in between tabs, I will accidentally open a tab in a new window, separating it from the other related tabs I have already open. How do I restore or revert that new window back to tab form?

You can drag a tab back from that new window onto the tab bar of another window in the position where you want it. If that makes a window empty then that window is closed automatically.
