Can I open a tab with a different page (of my choice) than my homepage?

I dont think its possible but maybe someone can tell me Im wrong.  I wanted to open a tab with a different page than I open a new Safari window.  I would think this would be easy to do and I could just type in the URL I want, but Safari doesnt give me that option. If I go to Preferences/General to the open tab option , I only can do homepage/same page/book marks/ empty page/top sites.  I wish Safari had the option for me to type in the URL I want - just like I can with a homepage.
So maybe someone wants to have the AppleStartPage as their homepage but wants their Gmail as their tab opening page.  Or GoogleNews as the homepage and USAToday as the tab page....or iGoogle as the homepage and Apple Store as the tab page...Well you get the picture.
It seems like it would be such a simple t hing for Apple to do - a lot easier than creating Top Sites - but I dont see that option.  I hope Apple will change that in a Safari Update.  Why not give users more flexibility and choice in how they want to configure their computer experience?
If Im wrong, pls tell me how to set the tab for the URL that I want.

  • Can I open a tab with a different page than my homepage?

    I wanted to find out if it's possible to open a tab with a different page than my homepage.  It doesnt seem that I can do what I want because when I go to Safari Preferences/General, the only options for tab open is topsites/homepage/empty page/same page/bookmarks.  I'm surprised it doesnt let you select your own choice of page - if that is different from your home page.  It would seem t his would be so simple...Why cant I have a different webpage as my homepage when I open a new window and something else when I open a new tab.  But apparently I cant.
    Let me know if there's a way to do it.

    Actually I did get it to work the way I wanted to; thanks.  Its hard to explain but I had to set my homepage to what I wanted my tab to be , and then set my new window to the folder with just the one URL.  So in this one example (although now I know I can customize it).  I set my homepage to igoogle but then set my tab to open with my homepage (which really isnt my homepage) and a new window to open with a folder that just had "Google News" in it.
    Seems confusing and a lot of steps to do something that could easily be accomplished by just letting the user type in the URL of what they wanted.   Instead, I had to jump through hoops and basically set up a homepage that is not really a homepage because my new windows wont open with it as a homepage...so what makes it a homepage?  If that logic makes sense.  A homepage is not really a homepage then.
    This is another example of where if Id ask Apple, theyd tell me it couldnt be done.  Ive had the worst luck with Applecare and instore trainers.  Most of the time when they tell me "I Dont know" or "This can't be done", I post something here and get the answers.

  • I can not open new tabe in the same page

    i can not open new tabe im the same page
    when i click on new tabe , it donsnt open at all

    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

    Most of the time, when I hit a link, it opens but tabs with ads or pages that I didn't ask for are opening also and they come up on top. I have to dump them to get to the link I originally hit. How can I stop this from happening? It's so irritating and they take a while to come up before I can close them. Note: I use Firefox for Mac OS

    You can stop that behavior by changing two settings within the browser. Go to Tools -> Options and click on the CONTENT button. Make sure that "Block pop-up windows" is checked. Then click on the ADVANCED button on the far right and add a check to "Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload".
    That should stop most of them. If not all, then you could install AdBlock Plus add-on, since most of the redirects are ad generated. (Tools -> Add-ons -> Get Add-ons)

  • Can't open new tabs with double left click on tab bar in FF29.0.1?

    I've always enjoyed how tabs work in FF, mainly with them being on the bottom (which I had to find a work-around for by making the userChrome.css file - the "about:config" modification no longer works) and also being able to double left click on the tab bar to create new tabs.
    With the most recent update, double left clicking on the tab bar no longer has a function, and to create new tabs, I must now middle click. It's not a big deal really, but is there a way to change this back?
    I searched through some options on the "about:config" page, searched "tab" and found an option there: "browser.tabs.opentabfor.middleclick" that seemed promising. I changed the value to "False" but it didn't change anything - in fact, middle clicking still creates new tabs.
    I tried adding a modified function with "leftclick" in it, just to see if it might do anything but, nothing.
    Any other suggestions for restoring the double left click function to create new tabs? Thanks!

    ''Hydrilus wrote:''
    browser.tabs.opentabfor.middleclick
    If set to false, middle-clicking <u>links on web pages</u> opens them in a new window. It probably also affects bookmarks, history entries, and items in the address bar drop-down menu.

    You need an add-on. Here are two I know about:
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ Classic Theme Restorer]. In the add-on's option window, click the Special tab and check "Tabs toolbar: double click opens a new tab"
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/ Tab Mix Plus]. In the add-on's option window, click the Mouse icon, then the Mouse Clicking tab, then the Double-click tab below that. [http://tmp.garyr.net/support/viewpage.php?t=3&p=mouse-clicking The Tab Mix Plus help page] has more details.

  • Open Word docs with the new Pages?

    Pages does not open. I had the new one installed but apparently had the old one still up. How can I open Word docs with the new Pages?

    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5.1 files can not be opened in Pages 5.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed over 95 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:
    http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/viewforum.php?f=22&sid=3527487677f0c 6fa05b6297cd00f8eb9&mforum=iworktipsntrick
    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

    Hello,
    I can't seem to open additional tabs with the +, the drop down menu, or Command T? Is this a bug, or am I missing something?
    I'm running Firefox 30.0 in OS 10.8.5 on a Mac Book Pro with the 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7 and 8GB 1333 MHz DDR3 memory.
    Thanks in advance,
    Pat

    BOOM! You have hit the nail on the head, sir!
    I disabled my Vuze Remote Community Toolbar and the problem was fixed.
    Thank you, the-edmeister!!!!

  • Can't open new tab by going to file/new tab (or CTRL+T or clicking on the new tab field). Only way is to right click on a link and choose open in new tab.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

Can't get any help from apple. their suppot *****! I want to get someone on the **** phone or a live chat but cant. *** APPLE????? please let mw know if you find SOMETHING i can try next.

  • TS1702 Can't open update tab in app store

    I can't open "update" tab in the app store... When i click it, it show a blank page

    Apparently, there is a problem with Apple’s servers.
    According to Fly150 in another discussion, this will work.
    If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
    1. Go to App Store
    2. Select Purchased
    3. Select All
    4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
    5. Select update on the Apps
    This should update the Apps and get rid of the update count in App Store. Apple needs to fix this. It is a workaround only until then.
    You can also download the updates in iTunes on your computer and sync them to the iPad.

  • Can't open CS2 image with photoshop

    I had this camera, Canon 50d, for little more than two years.
    Now it is time to start working with Raw image and can't open the image with Photoshop.
    But I could open with EOS utility but want to work with Photoshop.
    thanks for reading and advice pleae

    Photoshop CS2 will never directly open a Canon EOS-50D raw file.  The raw files from every camera are different and your camera was designed after the Photoshop CS2 Camera Raw application stopped receiving updates.
    This list is pertinent:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    That said, there is a free solution that will allow you to open your images indirectly.
    Download and install the latest version of the free Adobe DNG Converter:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5388 (Mac)
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5389 (PC)
    Whenever you have a folder full of raw 50D images run the DNG Converter on the folder to convert all the files to DNG format.  You will have to select the proper compatibility setting.
    You can now open the DNG files with Photoshop CS2's Camera Raw converter.
    Just as an aside, the Camera Raw converter from the latest version of Photoshop delivers images of higher quality, so you may want to consider moving up to Photoshop CS6.  Unfortunately you will have to pay full price; there's no Photoshop CS2 -> CS6 upgrade discount.

  • I can't open new Tabs on the botton position?

    Hello. After upgrading to Firefox v.7 from v.5 I can't open new tabs when on the bottom. Also in any webpage, in an area of about an inch below the "tabs" line does not work. Example: on the Firefox "Help" page I can not sign-in/register if I want to "contribute" & I can not use any of the buttons under the title "NEED HELP WITH FIREFOX?". When on the Yahoo home page none of the buttons above the Yahoo "search bar" and the "search bar" itself works.
    I have been trying to get someone on Live chat since 9:00 with no avail.

    The Yahoo! Toolbar extension and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause this issue. Disable or uninstall those add-ons.

    If you can't open a particular ibook then try deleting it from the bookshelf via the Edit button at the top right of the bookshelf, and (assuming that it's still in your country's store) redownload it via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the app (or if you have a copy of it on your computer's iTunes library sync it back from there).
