Any click to open in new window
Hi
Can any one let me know if this is possible. Any link I click in google search it should open in new tab. And it should go to that tab.
The default action when clicking a link is to open in the current tab
or window. If the author of the webpage modifies the link with the
target="_blank" modifier then the link will open in a new tab or window.
It can also be modified via Javascript to achieve the same result.
You can also use a keyboard modifier with the click (browser
dependent) to open in a new tab or window.
The default however is to open the link in the current space.

Cmd+Click to open in new window
I want to have Cmd+Click open link in new window in Firefox (instead of new tab).
* Firefox 11, Firefox 12 beta
* No 3rd-party extensions enabled
* Mac OS X Lion
* Regular HTML page with <A> link (no JS handler)
* browser.link.open_newwindow=2
* browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction=2
* browser.tabs.opentabfor.middleclick=false
1. No combination of options seems to make Cmd+click open link in new window (instead of new tab).
2. Inconsistent behavior between Cmd+click and middle click: with mentioned settings Cmd+click opens in new tab and middle click opens in new window.
I believe that Cmd+Click should do the same as middle click. Specifically with browser.tabs.opentabfor.middleclick set to false Cmd+click has to open link in new window.
Should I file a bug? Or is there some other relevant option?Thanks. It helped. I have tried Alt and Control, but didn't expect Shift to change behavior.
Then again, considering multi-window browsing use-case,
1. It is undiscoverable. Hardly ever Shift alone qualitatively changes behavior of a gesture. Thus it makes the gesture less discoverable. I even had to post question here after an amount of googling.
2. It is inconsistent. Other browsers make possible multi-window browsing with one or two simple settings. In Safari those are "never use tabs instead of windows" and "⌘click opens window". In Opera — "use windows insead of tabs". (Chrome doesn't support windowed browsing at all though).
Both browsers redefine ⌘click to open in new window. Safari uses shift+click to add to reading list instead. So Firefox behavior is inconsistent with alternatives and it makes switching harder.

3. Requires changing habits. Suppose you want to switch from tabbed browsing to windowed browsing (my case). Firefox's behavior requires to change to gesture you use to open links. It may be quite hard to fight habits.
On the other hand, an option turning meaning of all gestures upside down (tab instead of window/window instead of tab) would make the switch transparent and intuitive. Intuitive I mean in the sense that with the options you don't redefine action bindings (action for middle-click, action for target="_blank", action for ⌘click) but you just choose your prefered mode of browsing: windows or tabs. Tab or Windows.
I'd like to hear any comments regarding what the issue is worth. -
I am using firefox 6 and if I right click and click on open in new window both my windows hang
when I right click and click on open in new window.
both my windows hang.
The machine becomes slow and firefox does not respond till I close the new window.
(I have not tried if it helps if I close the main window).
the new page does not load and if there is a tab that is loading on the old window it does not load as well.Did you look in Customize (View > Toolbars > Customize) to see if your "New Tab" is there and should be moved to a toolbar.
You are so not up to date with Firefox that you might as well stay with what you have until it breaks. Make sure you maintain backups of your profile and all personal data to external media, preferably an external hard drive. -
How can I totally disable occurrence of the New Tab tab when I right-click to open a new window?
Whenever I right-click on a link in Firefox and choose "Open Link in New Window", the resulting new window opens with TWO tabs: a tab containing the target for the clicked link and another "New Tab" tab containing icons for sites I don't want and don't care about. Even more annoying, the "New Tab" tab is the tab that is active/selected when the new window comes up, rather than the tab for the link I right-clicked.
This is very annoying and highly undesirable behavior. When one right-clicks on a link and chooses "Open Link in New Window", one should get a new window containing ONLY the displayed information for the target link. One should not get TWO tabs.
How do I get rid of this behavior? I've searched via Google for a solution but haven't found one.
I hope the Mozilla team will correct this problem very soon. I've been using Firefox for a long time and have found it to be a very good browser. However, this new behavior totally destroys my good feelings about Firefox.
Thanks for reading my comments.Starting Firefox in Safe Mode does indeed get rid of the behavior I find undesirable. Thank you.
However, I still wonder why one should have to go through the extra step (starting in Safe Mode) to avoid the second tab in the newly opened window.
I have not added any add-ons to Firefox on my PC.
The problem suddenly started occurring a while back, after an automatic update of Firefox to the latest version.
Any thoughts on WHY this is happening? -
How do I enlarge a thumbnail on hover and then click to open in new window?
Can anyone help me here?

I'm using Mac OSX with Firefox 5, but also had this problem with Firefox 4.
I use an external monitor as my primary monitor and my laptop monitor as a secondary. When the window is on the secondary monitor, I can't open new windows to do things such as view source and manage bookmarks.
Any solutions or workarounds would be greatly appreciated.Both Firefox and IE have the same problem. The cursor instead of being a finger when pointing to a link is still an arrow. However I can click anywhere on the page and an ad will pop up. I have eliminated all unwanted bars in Firefox, I ran Malwarebytes until it came out clean. I also have AVG which had detected a few items on it's own. But when I get into Firefox I still have exactly the same problem. Now it will not let me download Browser Safeguard. Usually after one click the pointer returns to normal for a few screens. When I try to click to download Browser Safeguard it keeps bringing up different ads or it tries to get me to upgrade Firefox or some other browser helper program which I know are all BS tactics to get me to load their junk again. PLease help I'm an engineer and pretty good with PCs but this one has me beat at least so far.

Because I'm a bit of a dinosaur I don't use tabs, preferring to use new windows instead. Since the upgrade to V21, when I right click I don't get offered the option to open in a new window, only a new tab or a "private" window. How do I get back to choosing "non-private" windows ?
That is how it works. Current Firefox version make you close and restart Firefox after toggling the History setting that changes Private Browsing mode.
In permanent mode you can only open new PB mode windows.
Future Firefox versions will support Private Browsing per tab, this is already available as an extension.
*Private Tab: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/private-tab/
The Firefox menu button gets purple or you get a purple PB mask on the menu bar or tab bar (Linux) if you are in a PB tab and all Private Browsing mode tabs get a dashed underlining unless you are in permanent PB mode. -
This happened for example when clicking on "printable view" on my Roadrunner webmail.
Thanks

Hi
Just recently Finder has stopped behaving as it normally would. Clicking the icon doesn't seem to launch the finder window. I have to right click the finder icon and then click New Finder Window. Sometimes there is no response for sometime and then finally it does open a window. If I click finder when a wondow is open it does not shift focus to finder anymore. I am sure this did not use to be the case?
PS. not sure if this is how to put things on the forum as haven't used them before!
JulianClick on the spotlight icon in the top right of your screen (looks like a magnifying glass), type
Terminal
and press 'return'.
In the window that opens up, paste or type this exactly into the window
killall Finder; killall Dock
(that's case sensitive) and press 'return'.
You'll notice the Dock disappear for a second or two then return, as do any open Finder windows.
Test using Finder as normal. Same problem? -
How can I force a popup to open in a new tab instead of opening a new window?
I want to keep any links that I click from opening a new window, ie. if I click on a link in an open tab that opens a new window, I want it to open in a new tab instead. I am on Firefox 5.0.
You can look at the browser.link.open_newwindow prefs on the about:config page.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction (0)
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow (3)
To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu. -

Clicking any tab or portal link it opens a new window
Hello,
We are using SAP EP7 and when we click any portal tab or link it opens a new window instead of opening it in the same one.
What can we do to open tabs and links in the same window?
Thanks in advance.Hi,
Yes, it looks like a problem with WPM (WorkProtect Mode).
Have a look at this SAP NOTE : 734861. Incase of of iViews, if any data that you entered needs to be saved, then as per the configuration a new window opens up whenever you click any link. This allows you to continue working with the old window, save the data and thereby avoid loss of data. This configuration can be tuned to make it user friendly.
Also have a look at this thread : New window opens on every EP page click for *some* users
Hope this helps.

When I point and click on any link I get a drop down window asking if I would like to open in new window etc. How can I turn it off ?
Thank you the-edmeister.
I downloaded the menu editor extension but I can't open it.
Searching on the web for something to open it I get the message from the windows website:
File Type: Unknown
Description: Windows does not recognize this file type.
Any suggestions?
Thanks Steve Shmurak -
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.
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

Here is what I am running:
Microsoft Windows 7, Service Pack 1, Fully updated to 4/10/2012
Fresh Install of Firefox 11. No add-ons enabled as a result of troubleshooting.
I am a user with administrator rights
UAS is disabled.
To begin, this has been going on Since Firefox 10 or so. A few months now.
I am able to open Firefox. My add-ons worked (ABP, Flashblock, ABP Element Hiding Helper, IETAB2, Downthemall, Greasemonkey, 4chan extension) had no problems. Firefox is set and has been set for the last two years as my default web browser.
However Since approximately Firefox 10 or so, maybe before that, If I have a Firefox session open, and any other application attempts to open a session in a new window, I get the Firefox is already running, but not responding error."
I attempted to follow troubleshooting advice already posted (look for parent.lock files left behind [none present], multiple sessionstore.js files [none present], create a new user profile, attempted to clear out the "read-only" permission in windows 7, however as soon as it is cleared, the read only permission returns.)
As a last resort, I deleted the Firefox folder, the %APPDATA%/Mozilla directory in its entirety, then utilized CCleaner to remove any and all references to Firefox in the windows registry, then did a full re-install, no extensions installed right now.
I checked preferences and have the option "open new windows in a new tab" checked off. The problem persists regardless if this option is checked on or off. This problem persists in or out of safe mode, even with the brand new install.
Test Cases:
All cases:
Firefox is selected as the default browser for windows 7
Case 1: Open a firefox session. Utilize any other program that attempts to open a link to their website in a new browser window or new browser session. Experience "Firefox is already running" error
Case 2: Open a firefox session. Right click on Firefox on the task bar. Select "open in new window". Experience "Firefox is already running" error
Case 3: Open a firefox session. Select the Firefox Menu > New tab > New Window. A new window will actually open.
This is the only method of opening a new window in the same browser session or profile that actually works on my system. Attempting to open a browser session from the task bar "open new window dialog" or opening a new window while a current window/session is running will not open firefox in a new window or a new tab in the current session. The "Firefox is already running, but is not responding" error will occur every time.Cor-el's suggestion resolved my problem. Apparently the MOZ_NO_REMOTE variable was set to 1 on my system variables. I never made it, and really have no idea how it got there, but deleting this variable and restarting firefox has resolved the issue. Thanks Cor-el!
Marking case: Solved
Solution: Verify the MOZ_NO_REMOTE variable is NOT set to 1. This can be achieved by simply deleting this variable.
