Both in safari and chrome, whenever i click any link it opens a new tab with advertise. Original tab turn to top sites.

This is a **** of problem i am facing. I am so annoyed that i am considering to get rid of Mac. My previous mac did not have such problem. Well, lets say i have opened airline site, i am trying to search ticket, i have put all destination and dated, once i click search, it opens a new tab and current one become blank with top sites. Its really annoying. Can someone advise what to do?

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

Why did they take away the "Open In New Tab"option in Top Sites, Bookmarks, and History?

Why did they take away the "Open In New Tab"option in Top Sites, Bookmarks, and History? This very annoying.

Seriously - what could they have possibly been thinking? Mozilla, please tell us this was some kind of mistake. Accessing our bookmarks in FF-mobile is just plain bad as a user experience. And now without "Open In New Tab" we are supposed to drill down to our bookmarks for every tab we want to open? FF-mobile is almost useless without "Open In New Tab". Please restore "Open In New Tab" for bookmarks, thanks.

How can I click a link to open a new tab without automatically switching to the new tab?

I use Ixquick as my search engine. When the search result comes up, every time I click a link, Firefox creates a new tab and changes the focus from the search results page to the page for the link I clicked.
I want to have a new tab created , but I want to stay on the search results page to be able to continue clicking other tabs of interest.
I'm new to Foxfire and this functionality was very useful to me when I used Internet Explorer.
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Kathy
You can start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

When I click a link to open a new tab/window it opens and the URL appears but the page doesn't load?

To clarify - the new tab or window appears, and the web address is showing correctly in the address bar, but for some reason the new page won't load unless I manually highlight it and hit return. Please help!

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.

Command + Click on link to open in new tab suddenly not working

I am an enthusiastic user of command + click to open a link in a new tab, but it suddenly stopped working earlier today and I cannot figure out how to re-enable this feature. I'm on the beta release cycle at version 7.0, with several addons installed, including (perhaps relevantly) Tab Mix Plus.

This is a link to a modified (by the Greasemonkey devs) version of Tab Mix Plus. Works around the bug until the TMP guys do so officially.

I have a database of names. When I go to the database and pull up names I right click on the option "Open in new tab". I would like to bring up 200 names and do the same function simultaaneously to them like, add a vote to their total individual vote count. Is this possible?

I ended up reformating the drive as FAT32 because I still need to use it on my Windows 98SE system also. I did have a problem with the allocation size. I wanted to use 512 bytes but it kept failing so I used the default size(8192 bytes) and then it worked fine. I didn't think there would be a problem formatting as NTFS but since you are having problems I just tried it. It failed at 512 bytes allocation size so I tried again using 4096 bytes, the default, as the allocation size and it failed again. It looks like these drives will not format as NTFS.
Also, I think I figured out what's going on with the ReadyBoost problem. As I said initially it wouldn't work with ReadyBoost then after I had 12GB of data on the drive the ReadyBoost feature started working. After I deleted all the files it quit working again. After doing some reading on the net about Flash drives and ReadyBoost problems it appears that the memory chips on my Lenovo Flash drive are mixed with both fast memory chips that work fine with ReadyBoost and slower memory chips that are too slow for ReadyBoost. Apparently, after I fill up the portion of memory with data that uses the slow chip(s) then ReadyBoost works fine with the fast chip(s). I also verified the Flash drives read and write memory speeds using Vista's Event Viewer. To work with ReadyBoost the Flash drive has to read at a minimum of 2.5MB/s (for 4KB random reads) and write at a minimum of 1.75MB/s (for 512KB random writes).
Let me know what you find out.

I have sent files several times now and when the recipient clicks the link to open. it says page cannot be found. This just started happening. what needs to be corrected?

In Adobe Send, I have sent files several times now and when the recipient clicks the link to open, it says page cannot be found. This just started happening. What needs to be corrected?

I can think of a couple of reasons for this behavior.
You inadvertently turned off the sharing for the files.
The link that the user is clicking on is incomplete; perhaps it got broken across lines in an email message. Are you sending Anonymous Links or Personalized Invitations? If the former, are you certain that you copied the entire link?
Some things to try.
Have the user send the link back to you so that you can test it. Does it work for you?
If you look at your Sent Files list, is the name in the Sent To column struck through (e.g., John Smith)? That would indicate that it has been unshared.
If you could get back to me with answers, perhaps we can get to the bottom of this.

I deleted sessionstore.js from the profile and restarted Firefox but that did not help

Hi, I have a problem which occur only in Firefox (in IE not happening): When I middle click the mouse it opens a new tab, but it also push my website to the top of the page & I need to drag all the way back to where I was. Please I need a solution! Thanks

When I middle click the mouse it opens a new tab & also push my website to the top of the page and that is realy annoying when I need to drag all the way back to where I was

URL of your website? And an example of a hyperlink which does that?

Whenever I right click on any link the link gets opened in new tab

Whenever I right click on any link, along with context menu pop up (Correct property) the said link also gets opened in new tab (next to running tab in background : wrong property) Initially I thought it is due to one of the add-on installed on searching I find I installed add-on Right Link so I removed it still instead of just opening context menu the link also was getting opened as described so I reinstalled the add-on Right Link and tried to disable it via option provided by them (A status bar button, F2, a tool menu option) and confirmed in about:config that value of extensions.rightlinks.enabled;false, still could not stop opening link when I right click on it
Now I wonder whether the said add-on is culprit or any other add-on is responsible for this behavior ?

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")
You can first strict the enabling to tab related extensions and extensions added by security software.
If you have many extensions then first enable half of the extensions to test which half has the problem.
Continue to divide the bad half that still has the issue until you find which one is causing it.

Can't Ctrl+Click My Threads to open in new tab (Chrome)

Today I find that I can't Ctrl+Click "My Threads" or "My Forums Threads" or "My Profile" (any of those options in the Quick Access menu) to open it in a new window in Chrome. Right click and Open in new tab works
fine, but the Ctrl+Click doesn't work.
This is crippling. Must be fixed.

When I right click on a link to open in new tab and move my cursor into the dialog box the box dissapears this is new in the last 24 hours.

I'm using Firefox 8.0 on Suse 11.4 today is 11/28/11 the past 24 hours I've been experiencing this: I always try to right click on links and open in new tab, lately when I do so and move the cursor into the dialog box the box disappears. Also if I online shop say for clothing, if I want to change size's when I click the button to do so nothing happens when I want to scroll down and pick a different size, (I can hi-light the size and click on it then when the window scrolls back up the default size is still there. This isn't consistent with all web sites.

You can middle-click a link to open the link in a new tab.

Whenever I click on a link, firefox opens a new tab instead of opening the link in the existing tab. How do I correct this?

I open firefox and type in CNN(or any other item). When the link appears I click on it. Instead of opening in the existing tab, firefox opens a new tab.

Thank you for this information. I love learning new things!

Links not opening as new tabs in Safari window

I have set my Safari preferences so that when I click a link, it should open a new tab in the current window yet it never works. A clicked URL brings up a new window and I'm constantly merging all the windows into one.
Any ideas why this preference might not be holding?
Thanks!

Unless this occurs for every link you click, the problem is due to the fact that some links are coded in the HTML to open in new windows. In Safari, those links will open in a new window no matter what you do. Only links that are coded to open normally (i.e. in the same window) will open in a new tab when Command-clicked. In other words, Safari is just not set up to override how a link is coded, as Firefox and some other browsers are. Safari honors the "new window" HTML.
There is a way to get around this without using third-party software. It requires using Terminal to change Safari's default behavior. It's a very simple change, essentially just toggling a hidden setting to the "on" position, and shouldn't cause any problems as some "hacks" can do.
To do this, simply open Terminal (in the Applications/Utilities folder) and paste the following command:
defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true
And hit the Return key. Quit and relaunch Safari.
If you want to reverse this change, enter the following command in Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool false
And then the Return key.

When clicking on a link, it opens a new tab rather than just opening in the existing tab. How do I stop that?

For example, when I'm in Flickr and I'm looking at an album, I click on a picture and it opens a new tab for that picture. When I click on the arrow to see the next picture in the series, it proceeds to open yet another tab, and so on. It's not difficult to have tabs that span the width of my screen in no time at all.

This should help:
1. Go to: Tools > Options > Tabs
2. There is a section at the top that says 'Open links that open in a new window in:' and then a drop-down menu
3. In the drop-down menu, select the 'Current Tab' Option
4. Click 'OK'
