Can't open bookmarks in a new tab after changing "browser.tabsinsertRelatedAfterCurrent" - even after changing it back.

I changed "browser.tabsinsertRelatedAfterCurrent" in about:config, and then changed it back after it didn't do what I had hoped it would do. The next time I tried to open a bookmark '''from the menu''' (not the little bookmarks button thing), nothing happens when I select "Open in a New Tab."
EDIT:
Bah, I couldn't take it and just did a restore.

I can't open links in a new tab after the latest update

On certain websites where links open automatically in a new tab, such as Gmail etc, the tabs are empty and all of them have this strange address in the address field:
jar:file:///C:/Program%20Files/Mozilla%20Firefox/omni.ja!/chrome/browser/content/browser/newtab/newTab.xul
On Gmail not a single link works properly, all the links from the black bar, (Documents, Calendar etc...) and links in emails, they are always opened like this. It never happened to me in previous versions of Firefox.
I will be grateful for any help..
P.S. I don't have the Ask.com toolbar installed and never had..

hello, can you try resetting firefox in help > troubleshooting information? this will restore all preferences to the default but keep your bookmarks & passwords

I email popup isn't working nor can I open pages on a new tab using right-click

I have AOL mail and I view my emails in a pop-up and now I click on the email and nothing happens- I cannot read them. When I am searching for videos or looking at content that is contained in a list I like to open links in a new tab so that I don't have to use the back button. When I right click a link the list is empty.

Open bookmark in a new tab

If I select a page from my Bookmarks it overwrites/replaces the current tab.
By pressing the Ctrl key the bookmarked site opens in a new tab.
Is there a way to reverse this 'norm'?
That is, I'd like my click on an entry in Bookmarks to open the selected page in a new tab. Whereas if I press Ctrl when selecting a bookmark entry, it will overwrite the current tab.

You can also middle-click a bookmark to have it open in a new tab.
TabMix Plus has an option to have bookmarks open in a new Tab, but I don't think that includes having it open in the current tab when {Ctrl + Click} is used.

Open bookmark in a new tab using mouse only - how?

Is there a way you can open a bookmarked page in a new tab using your mouse only? Like pressing the middle mouse button in FireFox. I don't like using an extra button on the keyboard to do this, or opening a new, empty tab first and then clicking on a bookmark.

okay, now this thread can die once again
LOL
you can right-click (open in new tab) on bookmarks in your collections page, even those in folders. just can't do this from the bookmarks bar.
Yes, you're right, you can. (And you can Command-click to immediately open in a new tab - quicker and easier than right-clicking and then choosing a menu item, in my opinion.) I thought of mentioning that earlier, but it was clear to me that Rosalba is looking for a way to open a bookmark in the Bookmarks Menu in a new tab without any additional steps, whether opening the bookmarks collection in a new window first, opening a new tab first, etc.
Regardless, we have at least gone over what you can do in this thread.

Open bookmark results in "new tab". More is not possible!

[]Opening a bookmark or entering a web address does not work.
The result is only: "New tab".
Also opening in the Firefox Help menu results in "New tab".
By clicking on "New tab" nothing happens!

Can't you open any web page or do you only have that problem with bookmarks?
Issues with bookmarks or history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

On OS X, middle click and command-click do not open bookmarks in a new tab

On OS X, middle clicking or Cmd-clicking on a link, or on a bookmark on the toolbar, opens that link in a new tab. However, middle clicking or Cmd-clicking on a bookmark in the Bookmarks menu opens the link in the current tab.
In the case of middle clicking, I am using an external mouse. Cmd-click fails to open a new tab from links in the Bookmarks menu both when using an external mouse, as well as when I use my MacBook trackpad.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? ''A troubleshooting mode.'' 
1.You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holidng the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut. 
2. Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.''

Can't open bookmarks in new tab

About ten days ago, I stopped being able to open bookmarks in a new tab. In fact, if I right click them at all, I get a tiny gray box. It goes away with a reset, but if I try to install any of my old add-ons (even ones I install newly) it comes back. I've looked for programs installed, but I can't find anything that would have caused this.

If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit)

How to open a bookmark folder in new tabs without removing previously opened tabs ?

I love Safari, I think it's the smoothest experience on a Mac. However, not being able to open multiple tabs at once without overwriting my previous ones is a deal breaker. I know you can click the back button to restore previous tabs but then the new ones are gone.
Is there a way to open a bunch of new tabs at once and keep the ones I already have open ?

Hello CommeLeMois,
You should be able to open links in new tabs by holding the Command key (⌘) and clicking on the link. Check in Safari Preferences and looked and the Tab section to see if you have the right behavior enabled.

Ever since I updated to Firefox 4.0, I can no longer open links in a new tab by holding ctrl and clicking the link. Any help?

Ever since I updated to Firefox 4.0, I can no longer open links in a new tab by holding ctrl and clicking the link. The only way I can open a link in a new tab is if I right click a link and select "open in a new tab" in the dropdown menu, but ctrl + click is so much easier and faster. Any clue how to fix this?

Some other users have fingered the Ask toolbar as the cause of this problem. You can try disabling or removing it here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions
Does that help?

Ever since I updated, I can no longer right click on links, choose "Open Link in a new tab" and expect it to do anything at all. WTF!

I should note, I am using the latest version as of today, I am using the portable version, and I have a TON of addons, a list of which I can post if I have to. Any Ideas what could be causing this? I use the "Open link in a New Tab" option every single day. I don't want to have to hit some special button to do so like my current temporary workaround with tab mix plus, I miss the old method, the option is still there in the context menu, but it won't do a single thing ever :(. Also not working is "Open Link in This Tab" and "Open Link in Duplicated Tab" (Not that I ever use those ones so who give a F). "Open Links in New Tabs" Still works though, but not for single links, so its not an ideal workaround. I can't afford to simply reset the browser, my settings, my addons, everything would be gone. I could back it up with FEBE but then I would be right back where I started. :(

Guys, I should wrap this up and let you all know so this page may help those experiencing the Firebug Context Menu Glitch. It's messed up, that was one of my favourite programs :(. Now looking for a version that doesn't do that.

I click a link but it doesn't open. Instead I get a popup saying "Open the link in a new window," "Open link in a new tab," etc. How can I kill this popup or whatever it is forever?

That happens if the server sends the file as text/plain.
You can see this if you open "Tools > Page Info > General": Content-Type: text/plain
Files send this way will always open in a tab.

Using right mouse click in bookmarks and selecting new tab or window does not work anymore in firefow 4.0. no new tab or window opens. Still works if you open new via File menu.

When you select bookmarks, find the bookmark you want, then right mouse button click you get a drop down menu giving you the chance to open a bookmark in a new tab or new window. This no longer works with firefow 4.0

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Since the latest update of 3.5.11, firefox opens links in a new window. it used to open links in a new tab. how can i fix that?

The setting in "Tools > Options > Tabs" only works for links that would open in a new window. 
That option allow you to divert such calls to a new tab. 
For other links you either have to use a middle click or a Ctrl + left click or use the context menu.
