BUG: navigateToUrl always opens new tab in browser, also when window parameter is specified
I have a problem navigating to a Url in the default browser in an Adobe Air project.
air.navigateToUrl(request, windowName) launches the browser and displays the page, but it displays a new tab for every request.
Here is a very simple example that shows the problem:
Flex:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<fx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.net.navigateToURL;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
protected function button1_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
NavigateToURLExample();
public function NavigateToURLExample():void {
var url:String = "http://www.adobe.com";
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
try {
navigateToURL(request, "testWindow");
catch (e:Error) {
// handle error here
]]>
</fx:Script>
<fx:Declarations>
</fx:Declarations>

<head>
<title>navigateToURLTest</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="lib/air/AIRAliases.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="#" target="testp" onclick="javascript:air.navigateToURL(new air.URLRequest('http://www.adobe.com'), 'TestWindow');return false;">Same Tab</a>
</body>
</html>
How can I open the url in the same window/tab?

Hi..
I am struck with the same issue as well.
It works for few sites like "http://www.adobe.com" and "http://www.google.com", but most of the sites open up in a new window, even if I specify custom name, like:
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.britishairways.co.uk"), "MyWindow");
Also tried through ExternalInterface viz:
ExternalInterface.call("window.open", new URLRequest("http://www.britishairways.co.uk"), "MySameWindow", "");
Please reply whether it is a bug, or there if there are any alternative approaches.

After upgrading iPad 2 to iOS 7 , cannot open new tabs in safari . When pushing on " " , Safari close the application .
Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

Pop-Ups ALWAYS opening new tabs in Safari 8.0
I was recently helping my boyfriend and had downloaded "unsafe" downloads onto my MacBook Pro Mid 2012 on Safari 8.0 and directly after downloading these links there are continuous pop ups showing up that are opening new tabs and they usually pertain to what I am looking up. Such as when I was logging into Apple Support MacKeeper and other various websites for virus protecting programs pop up. Also my home page is changed to a different site (the name is something along the lines of "Only" and their home page looks JUST LIKE Googles). Pop ups are happening ALL the time and it's getting very frustrating. I downloaded MacKeeper awhile back but I believe I was successfully able to uninstall it. Even when I am clicking on a link on Google or I accidentally tap my mouse pad and it clicks on my current website a pop up opens a new tab. I have cleared my caches, history, and cookies. My firewall, firevault, and all other precautions are turned on. What can I do to fix this problem I am having? ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated!! Thank you in advance (:

I print coupons fairly often... ha but if i need to delete those plug ins I am willing to. What's next?
Oh ans by the way thank you so much for helping me!! I'm so grateful!! (:
PS. I let my boyfriend barrow my computer last night so he could restore his iphone but it looks like he tried to download a few things and was successful at downloading more plug ins for me... Not so great. I've been trying to get rid of genieo forever now aand he reinstalled it again. Looks like I'm the only one using this from now on! -
CP 4 not opening new tab in browser
Without actually seeing it myself, here is a problem my client has described. 5 or 6 modules are on a website (SiteBuilder) with links. When a user clicks on a module link, the module opens and runs fine. But when the user closers the module, they are forced to log back on to the website. I assume the problem is that when the user clicks the module link, that instead of another tab opening in the browser, it opens inside the same page.
Does anyone know if there is a script/code that I can add to the modules to always open either another tab or browser window?
Thanks in advance!
JTHi there
My guess is that any configuration of that sort would occur at the SiteBuilder end. Perhaps there is a forum dedicated to SiteBuilder where you might ask?
Cheers... Rick

Click on URL in email, open new tab in browser, BUT stay in same Thunderbird email
There used to be a way to click on a link (URL) in an email that would open a new tab/window in the browser (Firefox), BUT stay in Thunderbird - similar to what Ctrl-Left-click does in Google search results in Firefox.
My work flow is usually to open several links, staying in Thunderbird and then when I'm done - go to Firefox to look at them all. E.g. I get a stackexchange weekly summary email, click on all the topics that look interesting and then, when I'm done selecting them, go look at them in Firefox.
I don't want to be forced to jump back and forth for every link, one at a time. This used to work.
Is there a preference or add-on that will do this - or anything else?I'm not aware of any complete reference to all preferences that offer a full explanation of what each does, what the Value means and how to use in a problem-oriented fashion.
But the list below does help:

http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config
http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config_entries

there is also a postscript module used by eg: linux

Margins are set up here:
File > Page Setup > Margins & header/Footer
or via File > Print Preview > Page Setup button
Helpful hints:
if you have Margins (millimeters)
and set eg: Bottom margin as 20.0
then look in config editor, you will see:
print.printer_XX.print_margin_bottom; Value = 0.787500023841858
This seemed odd at first. All Values in config were being converted to inches represented in a decimal format.
If you ever need to change the margins from millimeter to inches:
Print.printer_xx.print_paper_size_unit Value: = 1
Change the Value to 0 (zero) to get inches
If you change the Value to 0 for inches and then reopen:
File > Page Setup > Margins & header/Footer
you will see the Bottom margin has auto changed from 20.0 (mm) to 0.8 (inches rounded up), so although the display is different in File > Page Setup > Margins & header/Footer tab, the actual information in config preferences remains unchanged as it is saved in decimal inches format used by US as default.
if using millimeters then the paper size would be A4 210 x 297 mm.
Although looking in the config preferences it will say paper width 8.50 and paper height 11.00.
Usually, you can change the paper size when you select to Print and look in Print Properties. I'm in UK and using millimeters so get A4; the US uses Letter 8½ x 11 inches.
So I can see how it could be confusing to anyone using millimeters and then sees, what appears like wrong data in preferences. -
T431s Middle click not working (open new tabs in browser)
Hi, I have a brand new t431s here, and I can not get the track point working as expected (and as on all previouse thinkpads since the i-series):
expected behaviour:
middle-click on link -> new tab
middle click&hold and trackpoint-> scrolling
I am not able to find the setting which enable this behaviour.
Any help would be appreciated.
cheers

Safari opens new tabs extremely slow
My post is very similar to this one.
Since I got Safari 4, opening new tabs has been painful when having Safari open (in the background) for a longer period of time.. When starting Safari and doing stuff with tabs, no problem! However, after a couple of days, when I press +t to get a new tab, I have to wait (spinning wheel of death) 4 to 60 seconds for the new tab to appear.. This hangs my complete OS, not just Safari!
I am having this same problem on: Mac Mini early 2009 with Leopard + Safari 4, Macbook Pro Early 2008 (first penryn), Leopard and Snow Leopard with Safari 4, and now on my new MBP (mid 2009) Snow Leopard with Safari 4...
It is reaaallllly annoying (since opening tabs should be fast), and I suspect this has to do with the fact that I have 'Top Sites' as default page (Top Sites displays when I open up a new tab)...
I've turned that off now, to see if I still experience slowdowns, but this would mean loss of a great feature that I really like..
Please reply / post if you need more infoFirst of all, you don't need to use Top Sites as your default page; change that to an Empty Page and leave it that way. If you want to access Top Sites, there's a button on your Toolbar to do that.
Next, try this to solve your other problem(s):
1. Go to Home/Library/Cookies and delete the Cookies.plist file.
2. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
3. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Web Page Previews and delete the contents of that folder.
4. If you don't want to use the Top Sites or Cover Flow features, open Terminal and paste in this command:
defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSnapshotsUpdatePolicy -int 2
then press Enter or Return and quit Terminal
5. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
6. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
7. Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete these files (if you have them):
Downloads.plist
History.plist
Form Values
LastSession.plist
WebpageIcons.db
Then Repair Permissions, restart Safari and see if the speed is improved. -
Firefox did an automatic update to 6.01, and now my middle mouse button is not working in the browser. It doesn't close tabs, it doesn't open new tabs by middle clicking a link, it doesn't allow me to middle click to scroll the page..
[BUG FIXED, see "EDIT 2" at the end of my post]
I'm on Firefox 3.6.21, and I got this problem today after a Greasemonkey update (To version 0.9.10, apparently).
Disabling Greasemonkey solved the problem, and re-enabling it reproduced the problem (middle-clicking links to open in new tab did not work, merely highlighted the link).
I should also note that while Greasemonkey was enabled and the bug was affecting me, Ctrl+Click to open links in new tabs was also broken.
I hope this helps!
EDIT: It appears this is a known incompatibility/conflict bug between current versions of Greasemonkey and Tab Mix Plus. Read more here:
https://github.com/greasemonkey/greasemonkey/issues/1406
EDIT 2: GREASEMONKEY HAS NOW BEEN UPDATED with a workaround to fix the problem. Go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/versions/ to install the update manually. It hasn't been reviewed by Mozilla yet, so it won't be an automatic update for another day or two. All credit to "cannonfodder" below for noticing this; please mark his post as helpful! -
New user (new computer--no issues for 9 days) Re: tabbed browsing, the plus sign (+) you use to open a new tab is suddenly gone. Have rummaged thru all the help notes and have reloaded x3 an add--on (extension??) for new tabs. In other words, I don't know where to look to get this feature back.
Hi waukss:
Go to '''View | Toolbars | Customize''' and click the "Restore Default Set" button or drag the "New Tab" icon in the Customize window (if it's available) next to your existing tabs. It's also possible you accidentally dragged the "+" icon to another toolbar and just need to drag it back where it belongs. If none of this works, go to Tools | Options | Tabs and make sure "Always show the tab bar" is enabled.
If you're really stuck, double-clicking your mouse just to the right of your last visible tab [or File | New Tab (Ctrl+T)] should also open a new tab.

Why does my browser keep opening new tabs
My browser either Safari or chrome keeps opening new tabs with adds almost like pop up what can i do to stop them? This all started when i upgraded to yosemite
There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware. Follow Apple Support's instructions to remove it.
If you have trouble following those instructions, see below.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. This procedure works as of now, as far as I know. It may not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.
The VSearch malware tries to hide itself by varying the names of the files it installs. To remove it, you must first identify the naming pattern.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for two files with names of the form
com.something.daemon.plist
and
com.something.helper.plist
Here something is a variable string of characters, which can be different in each case. So far it has always been a string of letters without punctuation, such as "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," or "trusteddownloads." Sometimes it's a meaningless string such as "e8dec5ae7fc75c28" rather than a word. Sometimes the string is "apple," and then you must be especially careful not to delete the wrong files, because many built-in OS X files have similar names.
If you find these files, leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
/Library/LaunchAgents
In this folder, there may be a file named
com.something.agent.plist
where the string something is the same as before.
If you feel confident that you've identified the above files, back up all data, then drag just those three files—nothing else—to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the Finder windows and restart the computer.
Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
Open this folder:
/Library/Application Support
If it has a subfolder named just
something
where something is the same string you saw before, drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
Finally, in this folder:
/System/Library/Frameworks
there may an item named exactly
v.framework
It's actually a folder, though it has a different icon than usual. This item always has the above name; it doesn't vary. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked. -

Missing options of "Enter Private Browsing" "Open new tab" and "Open new window" when right click (right context menu) firefox icon on taskbar.

can find nothing under the tools menu for private browsing?
Then it's not the same issue.
If Firefox is set to '''Never remember history''', then you're in “permanent private browsing” mode, in which case the menu item ''Stop Private Browsing'' will be grayed out. Perhaps that's the case, and you don't find the menu item easy to see?
* [[Settings for privacy, browsing history and do-not-track]]
If that's not the case, then menu items can be hidden using the userChrome.css file. Check if it exists, and if it's there, rename it, then restart Firefox.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css
In Firefox Nightly (what will become Firefox 20), per-window private browsing has been added, so the menu item under the Tools menu is gone. It's been replaced by New Private Window under the File menu. I don't suppose it's very likely that you're using such a cutting-edge test version of Firefox though.
If that doesn't solve the problem, since it's a different issue, it would be best if you would ask a new question.

Why can't I open new tabs in my browser?
When I click on the + symbol next to the tab I am working in, Firefox should open a new tab. However, this function no longer works in my Firefox browser. What do I need to do to open new tabs again?
This was very helpful: go to browser options in the General settings tab, at the bottom is the Manage Add-ons click on that link, look for the ASK toolbar add-on and uninstall. Then restart browser.
I was elated the tabs work again. -
cursor in URL bar when opening new tab; setting for this?
That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> 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.

In FF 17.0.1 I have several bugs to mention. I am only able to open bookmarks by right clicking them and selecting Open In New Tab from the drop down menu. I am unable to open a new tab by clicking on the new tab button or by clicking open new tab from the FF drop down menu at top of browser. Also, none button work in FF, such as Home, Back, Forward, or refresh. This is so aggravating!!
After I posted this, I restarted with add ons disabled and it worked..deleted a cpl of addons for compatibility checking and that fixed it.
