Auto new tab problem

why auto open advertsing new tab while using firefox.

What page opens if you open a new tab?
You can check the browser.newtab.url pref on the about:config page and set that pref to your preferred new tab page.
* the default new tab page with the tiles is about:newtab
* the default home page is about:home
* for a blank page you can use about:blank
The browser.newtabpage.enabled pref should be set to true to use the page set via browser.newtab.url as the new tab page.
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar.
You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

Safari 5.0.3, open link in new tab problem

I have a Mac 10.6.5.
When I open safari it works fine, then if I right click on a link I see the options open in a new tab, or window (and many other options), when I click open link in a new tab it works, then in the new tab I have a problem: If I right click on a link I can't see anymore the option "open in a new tab", all I can see is, open link, open link in a new window, download linked file and copy link, if I click on open link in a new window it opens a blank tab :s.
Also right click options are always limited in a new tab and, if I right click on a picture in the new tab I can't see the same options that are normally listed when I fist open a window.
How can I fix it, is someone else having this problem?

Hi and welcome......
Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
Quit Safari if it's open (Command + Q)
Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
Relaunch Safari. Now launch Safari. If Tabs work as they should, move that .plist file to the Trash.

Open link in a new tab problem.

When I want to open a link to a new tab by pressing my mouse scroller, it just won't work. Anyone have any solution? It still works after I changed to Firefox 4 after a few days. But it didn't work now. :(

Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

Safari open link in new tab problem

Safari opens links in same tab when it should open each link in a new tab.
In preferences, tabs, Open pages in tabs instead of windows: if I select, Always
When I browse, click on a link, the link opens in the page I am viewing and also a new tab.
If I select never
When I browse, click on a link, the page opens in the tab I am viewing and also a new tab (about 75% of the time).
If I select automatically, Safari will selectively open the link in the same page and a new tab at the same time, or sometimes just open a new tab.
What's up, Safari 6?
How can I fix this annoying behavior?

I pulled the plist to the trash, reset Safari, restarted. Everything seems to be working as it should. I'm guessing this was some sort of preference or cache corruption. If the weird behavior returns, I'll report back.

JTabbedPane new tab problem

I have a question regarding the TabbedPane, and forgive my ignorance as I've only just started. I am attempting to create a telnet/SSL application that allows you to open and close new tabs while the window's running, much like any tabbed web browser. I see there's a getTabCount() method, but it doesn't seem to work as I expected, or I'm using it incorrectly. Basically, each tab is supposed to have its own jTextArea to allow the user to connect to a remote host using a non-secure or secure method. The method that performs the action is below. If I put the "tabcount" int in the setTabComponentAt(), an index out of bounds error is returned in the stack trace and it appears to default to 0; if I put 0 in there as it is below, the stack trace goes away and the TabbedCommunicator class creates the tab with the close button. It just never seems to want to have more than one tab at a time. Any input is welcome and appreciated
private void performNewTab(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
        int tabcount = jTabbedPane1.getTabCount();
        tabcount++;
        String title = "untitled_" + tabcount;
        jTabbedPane1.setTabLayoutPolicy(JTabbedPane.SCROLL_TAB_LAYOUT);
        jTabbedPane1.addTab(title, jScrollPane3);
        jTabbedPane1.setTabComponentAt(0,new TabbedCommunicator(jTabbedPane1));
        jTabbedPane1.getAccessibleContext().setAccessibleName("");
        return;
    }

Before posting, I was aware of how the tab components are accessed. For whatever reason, I left out the "tabcount--;" that was there after the title for the tab. If I adjusted the code to not hard-code to 0, I still received the same stack trace error (ArrayIndexOutOfBounds) as I did before the tabcount--; was added. It's as if the tabbed pane itself can only hold one tab, and in order to have multiple tabs, you've got to have multiple tabbed panes. The setTabComponentAT() method is being used to create the closeable tab. That portion of the code works great when the application is first started, as well as when the tab is closed, then the File->New Tab menu is accessed. But if the closeable tab is still there and File->New Tab is accessed, it persists at creating only one tab, and that tab's closeable feature doesn't work..
The stack trace is:
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 1 >= 1
at java.util.Vector.elementAt(Vector.java:427)
at javax.swing.JTabbedPane.getTabComponentAt(JTabbedPane.java:2363)

Download file (PDF) and open on a new tab

Hi All,
Jdeveloper version: 11.1.2.1.0
Use Case:
When user press the command button, system should retrieve PDF document from the database (BLOB file) and display on a new tab
Problem:
Managed to retrieve the file, but it replaces the current page rather than opening a new tab
I've tried few suggestions from below link, but still no luck:
- How do I open a page in new window using af:commandLink?
- https://kr.forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=637676
My Code:
==============================================================
BindingContainer bindings = BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry();
+// get an ADF attributevalue from the ADF page definitions+
AttributeBinding attr = (AttributeBinding) bindings.getControlBinding("DsgnFileData");
if (attr == null)

return;
+}+
+// the value is a BlobDomain data type+

+}+
==============================================================
Has anyone managed to do this? Help please
Thank you
Regards,
Andi

response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=Report.pdf");You must use "attachment" instead of "inline".
Edit:
Just noticed that you want to show document :)
You can try to use something like this to call your servlet(and use "inline"):
String script = "window.open('" + url + "', '_blank');
ExtendedRenderKitService service = Service.getRenderKitService(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(), ExtendedRenderKitService.class);
service.addScript(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(), script);
{code}
But you can't control browser behaviour, so if this will open in new tab or new window depends on browser settings.

When opening Firefox one of my homepages is often replaced by the new tab.

For the last several versions of Firefox one of my two homepages on opening the browser is frequently replaced by a new tab; clicking on the home icon always opens the missing homepage (along with a second copy of the other one that is open), but this is now getting annoying. I was hoping an update would fix the problem, but of course this has not happened.
The problem began several FF versions ago just about the same time I updated CCleaner, so I considered the possibility that the latter was deleting something that interferred with my FF tabs; after having uninstalled that version of CCleaner, however, and reinstalled the previous one - the use of which had never coincided with the tab problem - the continued issue with the new tab was clearly not due to CCleaner, so I could only assume that the problem was with FF itself. (Note: I had not installed any new plug-ins or extensions at the time the problem began.)
Thanks.

Hello All.
I cannot be sure if it is related, or indeed is the cause of the problem with the new tab, but in the last couple of days it has become evident that Google has been modifying some pages, including the Gmail logon page.
1) Yesterday I found that on the logon page the field for the password had gone; the username field was there with a blue button below it saying 'Next', which I had to use to bring up the password field;
2) Today, after attempting to login to my e-mail, I was taken to a security checkup/update page for my account, which I completed - except for providing a 'recovery phone number' - but I was given no way of getting into my e-mail; if I logged out and in again I was again taken to the same security update page. Eventually, I went to a google support page via a search engine and saw a link for Gmail that took me straight into my e-mail - I was still logged in - and I replaced the Gmail address for my Firefox homepage again and now I can get into my e-mail. (Part of my problem here may have been that I refused to give a phone number; the form asked me to complete it by adding a number, which I would have to have verified so I could not fake it, i.e. 01234...)
Given how long I have had the new tab problem - since at least FF32.0 - Google may not be the problem, but changes such as I have described do sometimes take some time and can clearly cause problems. Are any of you Gmail users?
Ian.

How to stop multiple auto-switching to address bar every time I open a new tab and try to type something anywhere outside of address bar?

How to stop multiple auto-switching to address bar every time I open a new tab and try to type something anywhere outside of address bar? Like something just wants me to use that embedded search when u type something not-web-address in address bar and hit enter. And the most ridiculous thing is that it happens repeatedly on like every second, like I just move down from address bar and start typing again, but then again it switches me to address bar, and 3, 4 times like that. And the result is also that I can't see the address of that page.
I think its has something to do with my AVG antivirus, because this started the same time some AVG Nation started to appear in every new tab i open (and thats also irritating me, I read about it here on support.mozilla.org and it seems that the only solution is to completely reinstall Firefox, but I dont want to lose all my settings) but when i type something in address bar and hit enter it opens the search results in Google.
Please try to help me, I like Firefox but I must switch to Chrome until I fix this problem.
Thanks in advance

First, please update to Firefox 32. 22 is no longer support nor is it secure. Then let us know if you still have this problem. [[Update Firefox to the latest version]]

How to fix a website that auto refreshes to not open up in a new tab.

I use a scheduling website for work that auto refreshes. Sometimes when the page auto refreshes it opens up the current page I am on in a new tab instead of just refreshing in that tab like it usually does.
I have reset safari multiple times and it doesn't help. Any idea what I need to do?

Type '''about:config''' in Address bar and search '''browser.newtab.url''' change the value to "about:newtab"
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
Further information can be found in the [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
When you enter a search term in the Firefox location bar and press Enter, Firefox will per default do a "I'm feeling lucky" Google search and redirect you to the first result that matches your search term. This behaviour can be changed by a number of add-ons. If you'd like to restore the previous default behaviour, please follow these steps:
#Enter about:config in the Firefox location bar and press Enter.
#You should see a warning that making changes to the Firefox configuration can be potentially harmful to Firefox's integrity. Click the ''I'll be careful, I promise'' button to continue.
#In the Search box at the top, enter ''keyword'' as the search term. You should see a few remaining items, one of these is ''keyword.URL''. It should be bold.
#Right-click on the keyword.URL setting and select ''Reset'' from the dropdown menu.
Now you're done. Please report back if this fixes your problem. Thanks in advance!

Problem with opening new tabs, when I right-click on a link and open in new tab it doesn't automatically load up like firefox 3.6 always did. Is there anyway to fix this?

for example there's a link a friend sent me in my e-mail and I right-click on it, and select "Open in a new tab" it pops open like normal, except it does not load the page, I have to click the box and press enter to even get it to load it. In previous versions I have never had that problem, current version of Mozilla Firefox I am using is version 4, previous was 3.6 hope this helps figure this out.

You can middle-click a link to open the link in a new tab.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] 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).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Tabs only open in a new window. Ctl T opens a new window NOT a new tab help-last update this problem started. How do I set FF back to open tabs in 1 window

Tabs only open in a new window. Ctl T opens a new window NOT a new tab help-last update this problem started 2 days ago. How do I set FF back to open tabs in 1 window?
There is no plus sign and going into optins and changing settings has not worked. I have uninstall FF and reinstall-keeping my personalization-and that was no help.
Right clicking on FF Icon to open a new tab, or going up to FF drop down tab and clicking on new tab both do not work.
Help everything opens a new window not a new tab. there seems to be no way to reset this or to chose a different optin. I just downloaded new tabs at end addon and it didn't do a thing.

as a first troubleshooting step - does it work like normally when you open & run firefox in [[Safe Mode|safemode]] by pressing the shift key while you open firefox (all other instances have to be closed before)...

Problems opening a New Tab in Safari from Bookmark Bar Folder

When I am in Safari and attempt to Open a link to a new tab from the Bookmark Bar that is part of a Folder on the Bookmark bar it does nothing.
I can change the preferences to auto-click for the Bookmark Folders, but then every link loads when I try to access the folder from the Bookmark Bar. Very cool to see lots of pages loading at once, but not what I'm after. Doesn't seem to be a way to just load 1 link from the folder
If its a single link on the Bookmark Bar that has not been organized into a Folder it does work.

You know what? - my Safari works just the same way.... but I'd never noticed before.
I've used apple-click to open single bookmarks from the bar, many times. But have always ( for no particular reason) opened a new tab first ( apple-T ) if I've been looking for bookmarks within a folder.
