Awesomebar: open URL's in current tab, searches in new tab?

I am wondering if it is possible to customize the location bar so that entering/editing a URL opens the page in the current tab, but entering a keyword search opens the results in a new tab. Any suggestions?

I'd prefer to make it an option to ALWAYS open in a new tab.

Firefox won't open mailto links in a new window like it used to...it just opens gmail in the current tab.

I recently upgraded firefox and now whenever I click a mailto link it opens gmail in the current tab rather than in a new window. How can I get it to open email links in a new window.

My MAILTO problem was finally fixed on the June 29, 2012 Firefox version 14 beta 10 release.

How can I make new tabs open next to the current tab?

New tabs are advertised in Firefox 5.0 as being set to open next the the current tab by default. Mine, however, do not do this. They open to the right of the last tab, necessitating a lot of tab-scrolling, and a minor waste of time.
I have not installed the extension that forces the tab behaviour I'm currently witnessing.
Is there a kind soul out there with any suggestions for how I can get my new tabs to appear next to the tab I'm working on?

Tabs that are "related" to the current tab, like the same domain, open to the right of the current tab. Other links that are from other domains open at the right end of the tab strip.
The pref for that actions is '''browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent'''.
To have them all open to the right of the current tab would need an add-on, if that action even exists in an add-on.

How do i make a new unrelated tab open next to my current tab?

How do i make a new unrelated tab open next to my current tab? i can't find an extension that does this

what i was referring to would be while on a tab that isnt at the end i think of something i want to look up. i hit cntrl t and instead of the new tab opening next to the current one it opens all the way at the end. i was wondering if there was a way to make it open next to the current one

How do I open a duplicate tab or window that points to the same URL as the current tab?

In earlier versions of browsers, not necessarily Firefox, it used to be possible to launch a new tab or window with the same URL as the current window. I can't find a way to do this in Firefox. It always opens new windows with no URL specified.

Hold down the control key, then drag the tab that you want to duplicate onto the tab bar.

While opening a new tab via the Alt + Enter command, is it possible to make it open next to the current tab, and not in the end?

Any insight on how to achieve this will be very welcome.

There is not a built-in setting for opening new "unrelated" tabs anywhere except at the end of the tab bar.
Various add-on authors have tackled this request over the years. It's not really clear to me which of these extensions still work, but you might check the reviews and see what you think. (I haven't tried these myself)

Firefox opens all links in the current tab.

firefox used to open links from google in the same tab while having links like gyazo links or anything like that open in a new tab. similar to how google chrome does it. then i reset firefox and now when i try to open links it opens them in the current tab. i know that i can right click and open in a new tab but it gets annoying doing that over and over again. is there anyway i can put it back how it was?

Most likely not. As far as I know, the decision to open in a new or current tab by default comes from the webpage, not the browser. However, there's an easy way to do this.
1. Try clicking the middle mouse button (the wheel). This is a built-in shortcut in Firefox to open the link in a new tab.
2. You could try an extension. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/open-link-in-new-tab/
Other than that, I don't know.

How do I get tabs to open next to current tab?

How can I get a new tab to open next to the current tab without switching to the new tab instead of having the new tab open at the end of all open tabs and switching to the new tab?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

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.

Want Firefox to open new links in current tab, not to open in new tab.

With one of the new updates, Firefox opens a new tab when going to a new link, rather than opening link in the current tab, the way it did in earlier versions. I know I can choose open new tab or open new window in Preferences, but I want to just open the linnk in the current tab. Now, in a very short amount of time, my tab bar is filled with a glut of tabs. I prefer to use back page or forward page to retrace my steps, and to open up a new tab just when I want to open a new tab. This new default for tabbing contradicts the concept of making tabbing for your own organizational behavior.

Click the orange Firefox button, and click "Options". This will bring up a new window with a "Tabs" tab at the top. Click that. There will be several checked boxes, including one called "Open new windows in a new tab instead" up at the top of the list. Uncheck that box and you should be good to go.
ETA: This should also work if you click "Tools" and "Options" within your version.

Two problems with tabs: (1) no "x" to close; and (2) unable to open new tab adjacent to current tab

I don't know if this is a change in how Firefox works, a glitch in my download, or an improper setting, but my tabs don't have an "x" on them to close.
Also, tabs now open at the end of the list rather than in the adjacent window as the did recently. Is there any way to switch this back so new tabs open adjacent to the current tab?

You can reset the tab prefs on the about:config page in case they have been changed.
* browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent
* browser.tabs.closeButtons
If you want a close X on the first tab if only one tab is open then set browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab to false.

If you have tab related extensions then check their settings (Options).

How to stop book marks from opening in a side bar instead of the current tab

I was fiddling around with some add ons, but for some reason now whenever I try to open a bookmark it opens them in a weird little side bar thing on the left of my screen. How can I make it so that my bookmarks open up in my current tab again?

hello, you can right-click those bookmarks, select properties & uncheck the option to load the bookmark in the sidebar.

When opening url which is already open in another window I want a new instance of this url not to be taken to existing window for this url

I often need multiple instances of the same page open at the same time. I write pages that run complex php/javascript tasks and I need multiple instances open concurrently. The new default ( the latest version of firefox) does not seem to allow this and take you to a previously openned window with that url so assumes that people are just viewing information on a page which is a vast oversimplification of the use of the web. How do I revert to the previous default behaviour. If I want a page that I already have open I always find it for myself thanks. It is a pity that this new behaviour is enforced rather than an option given for enabling it.
Thanks very much

If you try to open the same URL in more than one tab then you may have the "Switch to tab" feature preventing that.
Hold down the Alt or Shift key while an entry in the drop down list is highlighted to disable "Switch to tab" and see the URL of all entries instead.
* Alt + Enter opens the highlighted URL in a new tab.
* Shift + Enter opens the highlighted URL in the current tab.
* Cursor Right copies the highlighted URL to the location bar in case you want to edit it.

How do I get Google search bar results to open in a new tab instead of the current tab?

When I use the Google search box, I would like the search results to open in a new tab instead of the current tab.

It turns out there is an about:config setting just for this purpose. Toggle browser.search.openintab to 'true', and all is well.

Address bar google search does not open in the current tab

When I do a address bar google search, the search window does not open in my current tab (which is usually a newly blank tab window), instead it opens in a previously opened tab window (or sometimes even a new tab), but never does the search appear in the current tab. When it does this, it ofteb replaces a web page which I can no longer view it without going backwards.
The only fix I have found is to open a new tab and go to Google's web page and search from there. But, this takes extra time and I have to remember to do this. Otherwise, I might lose web pages I wish to view.
This never used to happen until recently. I have a Mac using Lion for the past year.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Anna

I appreciate your input, but I don't want the google web page to open in a new window.
Instead, I want to search using the address bar in using google to open the search in the tabbed webpage I am viewing, rather than open another tabbed webpage. When it opens in a different tab from the one I am in, it either creates a brand new tab, or more problematically, opens the search in an tabbed window which has an existing webpage I still want to access for viewing.
This is a Firefox issue. Address bar searching works as it should in Safari.

Open URL from Excel or Word in individual tabs - Automator??

Okay so here is what I am trying to achieve -
I have to open a series of URLs which have 2 values that change within the URL daily. I am looking for a way to automate the process of opening. these URLs
I already have an excel format with the updating URLs so they automatically will generate the correct URL for that day, but when I click the hyperlink it will take at least 5 seconds to load them, and it will only open the last once click. So if I click 5 in a row, the 5th will be the only one to open.
I've searched for ways to have Safari open each in a serate tab and Safari and Excel just don't seem to play well in that manner. I have also looked into ways to have automator take the cells and open them, but I am unable to find a way to get the URLs from the clipboard into Safari.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this task takes me nearly 30 minutes daily due to the amount of URLs when it should be something that is easily automated.

You didn't mention which version(s) of Word and Excel were used to create the documents, or which version(s) you're using/trying to use on your Mac.
If it's (Windows) Office 2003 or earlier, Microsoft released a metadata management tool that might help you understand, and perhaps edit some of the metadata there now. The tool is available for (free in the US, at least) download here --> http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/HA011400341033.aspx
It is possible that 'read-only' status was set in some version of the file (perhaps copied to a CD at some point?), and remains set to 'read-only'. One fix is to open it (in Windows) and clear the read-only status. Windows discussion here --> http://ask-leo.com/whycant_i_open_thisfile.html
Another possibility is to try opening the documents with a different program (OpenOffice, iWorks Pages, iWorks Numbers) that can open and read many versions of Word and Excel files.
In my experience with earlier versions of OpenOffice, I've had problems with formatting changing (e.g. text document fonts and formats) when I've opened documents with OpenOffice and then attempted to re-save them in Word (doc or docx) format. I don't recall using OpenOffice with Excel files. I'm not currently using OpenOffice, so I can't say whether the problem was fixed or not.
