Can't open images in new tabs.

Using middle mouse or right clicking the image and selecting open in new tab asks if I want to open the image with some program or save the image. If I select firefox and try opening the image with it, the image is downloaded into my temp folder creating a blank download tab and then another tab is created when firefox opens the image from the folder (even the image address is the address of my temp folder and not the image url). I just want to open images in new tabs.
I should note that this does not happen with all images and I can't figure out why it sometimes happens and sometimes it doesn't.

There are a list of options when I right click on an image. Many of the ones you have described are options in the list of this image. Some web pages have links associated with the images that you can click on, therefore the option to only open the image location url is not always consistent.
"Copy image location" and pasting it into a new window is consistent, but adds an extra step. It is also possible to customize shortcuts and make one that behaves the way you want it with [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/customizable-shortcuts/ Customizable shortcuts add on]

  • I can't open links in new tabs, only in new windows.

    I can't open any links in new tabs without holding the link and dragging it to the tag menu or opening a blank new tab and copying the link location and pasting it in the new tab.
    ctrl+click which should open a new tab opens a new window.
    Right click + Open Link in New Tab which should open a new tab open a new window.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • Safari tabs - Can I open links in new tabs (with no key pressed)??

    I am a heavy FF user and one of the most important feature I use is the tabbed browsing. The problem with Safari is, it does not allow me to set a default option to open all links (that i click) in new tabs rather than windows. There is a clear cut option available in the preferences pane of safari but that does not work. I don't want to press any button to open a link in a new tab.
    Note: I know about "Merge all windows" option. But that is also one extra step right?

    I'm running 10.4.11 and when I right click on a link I have the option (in the menu) to select 'Open Link in New Tab'.
    Is that missing on 10.5.2?

  • Force open images in new tab instead of downloading it.

    Some webpages force download of images either with change of the image mime type or (I think) with javascript.
    Is there any way to force all jpg/png/gif files to open in new tab when given a direct link to it.

    Sounds that you have previously set an automatic download action for the application/force-download MIME type.

  • 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)

  • I can't open up a new tab by clicking on it

    Since yesterday, when I click on a new tab, it doesn't open.
    Sometimes a new site I enter in the browser window will open up in the same tab I was in just before this - and sometimes a new tab will open.

    There is an incompatibility between the Ask Toolbar (which you have installed) and Firefox 3.6.13. Disable it or un-install it until Ask fixes the incompatibility.

  • "Open Link in New Tab" click

    Hi,
    In Firefox I was able to open links in new tab using middle-click (scroll wheel) of my mighty mouse. However, I got rid of my mighty mouse and have VX nano now. Is it possible to use any of the 5 buttons of this mouse for opening links in new tab in Safari using Steermouse or xGestures or anything else? I have both those apps.
    Thanks.

    If you right-click on the link, you can choose "open link in new tab" from the contextual menu.
    Regards

  • Shortcut for open link in new tab

    How can I open link in new tab or in new window with keyboard shortcuts and not with mouse(R.C) ?

    With the mouse, you also can use these: Ctrl+left click, middle-click (or mouse wheel-click).
    Purely using the keyboard, do you normally open links by pressing Tab until they are selected and then pressing Enter? If so, hold the Ctrl key when you press Enter to open the selected link in a new tab.
    There are programs/add-ons/userscripts which create hotkeys for links. If you are using one of those, perhaps there is a solution there, too, but it would depend on how that particular program/add-on/userscript works. If you could provide more detail, that would be helpful.

  • In FF 34.0.5 I use to be able to click on a link within an e-mail and the link would open in a new tab; it now opens in the same tab; how can i change it back?

    I'm using FF 34.0.5 (I like it). I use to be able to right click on a link, within an e-mail, and the link would open in a new tab. Now when I click on the link it opens in the same tab replacing my e-mail.
    Example - a friend sends me an e-mail containing a link to a web site he thinks I'd like. I click on the link and go to the web site and then go back to the e-mail tab and reply to him. Now, when clicking that link, my e-mail disappears and is replaced by the new site.
    How can I fix this? When this happened once before I was told to change the 'value' for a specific 'preference name' through the about:config page.
    Can anyone help jog my memory?
    Thanks!

    Is this about clicking a link in an external program?
    You can check this pref on the about:config page for external links.
    * browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external (-1)
    If this pref has the default value -1 then browser.link.open_newwindow is used.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow
    *1: current tab; 2:new window; 3:new tab;
    You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location/address bar.
    You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

  • The only way I can open a new tab is by right-clicking a bookmarked site and selecting "Open in a New Tab." I can't click on the New Tab + or CTR+T or open via File. WHY?!?

    The only way I can open a new tab in Firefox is by right-clicking a bookmarked site and selecting "Open in a New Tab." I can't click on the New Tab + or CTR+T or open via File. WHY don't the other means work?

    The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.
    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

  • How can I force a link to open in a new tab on a Mac!?

    On Mac, CMD + Click only opens a link in a new tab if that link is located on that same subdomain and domain. If the link goes to another domain or subdomain it will just ignore the click!!!
    For example, on www.cnn.com I can CMD+Click on a number of article and they will open in a new tab. However, if the article is to a money.cnn.com or to some other website my CMD+click will be ignored.
    Also, would be nice to do the same in gmail. Actually, in gmail the link opens in another tab, but you are forced into that tab, so again the expected behavior of opening in another tab while remaining on the current page is being ignored.
    Seems to be an ongoing issue for a few years a no one has provided a decent answer other than install a plug-in. Also, several 'about:config' options I've read about only talk about behavior when opening a new window, nothing dealing with the ignored clicks.

    guig2, thanks for the response, but I don't believe this will help. Of the TABs options in preferences the only possibly relevant one is to force a link that would normally open in a new window to open as a tab instead.
    As for the plugin the two 'secret options' it talks about, I have already tried, which are basically a twist on the preference options.
    It also seems from the reviews of the plugin that it doesn't always work, or doesn't allow you to select which site open in a new tab, which is what I want.
    Is there some way to force firefox to interpret CMD+Click as a right-click->"Open in new tab," basically the context menu always works and is the expected behavior for CMD+Click (which doesn't always do this, possible due to the page modifying the behavior).

  • When I right click on a link "Open link in new tab" since a few days, it "jumps over" the tab to the right and opens in the tab next to that. How can I change this back to opening in the tab next to the page from which I opened as it used to be?

    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 > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    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")

  • Can I set toolbar items to open in a new tab by default without right clicking 1st and telling them to?

    I like to have some tabs open at the same time. Then I have some items in the toolbar that a sometimes need to open. I would like them to automatically open in a new tab without closing any tabs I already have open. Can this be done? I know if I right click on the toolbar item then choose open in a new tab it works. ??

    I do not know of any way to specify only some bookmarks to open in a new tab. You could middle-click on a bookmark to make it open in a new tab.
    There are add-ons that can make all bookmarks open in a new tab, such as:
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/13784/ Open Bookmarks in New Tab]
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1122/ Tab Mix Plus]

    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/14439/ Tabberwocky]
    All but the first of those will add many other tab browsing features. There will be other tabbed related add-ons that can open all bookmarks in a new tab, you can find them by searching https://addons.mozilla.org/

  • How can I force a popup to open in a new tab instead of opening a new window?

    I want to keep any links that I click from opening a new window, ie. if I click on a link in an open tab that opens a new window, I want it to open in a new tab instead. I am on Firefox 5.0.

    You can look at the browser.link.open_newwindow prefs on the about:config page.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction (0)
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow (3)
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    *Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
    *Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
    *Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.
