Can't set search results to open in new tab

I have tried to set google search to open results in a new tab but it continues to open in the same window as the search. I am using windows vista ultimate x64 and Firefox 4.01.

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/59961/ Tab Utilities]
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/62581/ Tab Utilities Lite]
* [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 disable the feature that opens a new tab everytime I enter a search request?

    I have Firefox 4.0.1 installed on my laptop, using Windows 7. Whenever I enter in a search query into the search bar and hit enter the search results come up on a different tab. If I then search for something from that new tab another tab opens. As you can plainly see, it doesn't take too long before you have multiple tabs open, thus slowing down the computer. Granted the easy answer is to close the old tabs as I go along, but I swear on older versions of Firefox this "feature" could be turned off; I find it highly annoying to have to constantly click the older tabs from which I searched from.

    Use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify default values.
    Place a file local-settings.js in the defaults\pref folder where you also find the file channel-prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg.
    pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
    pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // use this to disable the byte-shift
    See:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
    You can use these functions in mozilla.cfg:
    defaultPref(); // set new default value
    pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
    lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

  • Safari 5.1.9 Why can't we set up Safari to open a new tab by clicking on a hyperlink?

    I have a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X 10.6.8, using Safari 5.1.9.
    I was wondering why Safari doesn't have the option so that a new tab is opened after clicking on a hyperlink, and to avoid the need to control click?

    I just learnt, by accident, that simply clicking the 'Open Apple' button the 'select' button opens a new tab when accessing a hyperlink.
    'select' is the word I am using for an older MacBook Pro button which is located at the bottom of the trackpad.
      Which is a satisfactory answer to my question.
       Cheers.

  • Can I chnge the context menu "open in new tab / window" options back to the previous version (reverse order)?

    In Firefox 4, the context menu "open in new tab / open in new window" options are in reverse order compared to 3.6. Can this be "fixed," i.e. change the menu item order? I use this feature constantly and it's a matter of habit, also still use some 3.6 machines.

    You can use the Menu Editor extension to re-arrange the menus - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/menu-editor

  • How can I add a button that opens a new tab?

    How can I quickly open a new (blank) tab without going to File --> Open New Tab. There has to be a button I can add or a box that isn't checked somewhere. I used to be able to click in the blank space in the row of tabs to open a new tab, but with this latest Firefox update, if I click in the blank space now, it just "restores" my browser window.
    To explain further - I know I can middle-click a link to open it in a new window, but if I'm on one page reading an article, and I want to open a new tab to look up a word or map or whatever, I need a faster way to open a new blank tab.

    You are right - there should be and there is on my windows 7 machine but not on my windows 8.1 machine. Firefox add-ins are identical. So how do I get the new tab button back?

  • When I open a new tab, I have to move to the other side of the page to click "home". Can I set the same "home" default for new tabs?

    My home page opens in the initial FireFox window, but new tabs open with a blank page. To get to my default page I have to click "home", but now it's way over on the other side of the page.
    Can I set a default for new tabs?

    right click on the control bar and choose "adapt" (or something like that). A window will pop up. Ignore that window and move the home button to the place you want it ''on the control bar''

  • 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 <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> 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.

  • Presenter 10 Quiz Pass URL is set to Current but opening in New Tab

    Hello,
    We use Presenter to create quizzes among other things.  Previously, we were using version 7 but had to upgrade to 10 recently.  I have just tried creating the first quiz under 10 and ran into an issue.
    We offer the quizzes via our intranet site and utilize the Open URL Action under the Pass or Fail Options tab to redirect those who pass to a completion URL.  The target is set to Current.  We display the Presenter output's HTM file via an iFrame.  In version 7, the URL would simply display within the iFrame.  Now, it is opening in a new tab.
    It does this regardless of whether it is set to Current or New.  I have looked at the data/viewer.xml file and confirmed that passingGradeActionArg2 is set to 0 when we set the option to Current and it changes to 1 when we set it to New, so it does seem to be registering the change when published.  I have tried this out on Internet Explorer 11, Internet Explorer 11 in Compatibility View, and FireFox all with the same behavior.
    Has anybody encountered a similar issue with Presenter 10?
    Thanks in advance.

    There is no Contextual menu for the Location bar drop-down, so you need to use {Ctrl + Click} or Middle-click the item to have browsing history items load in a new tab.

  • How do I make it so that Firefox automatically switched to a google search when i open a new tab?

    Everytime I open up a new tab, it switches to a blank page.

    Maybe this add-on will be helpful :[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/ NewTabHomepage]

  • When using Yahoo search the link opens a new tab rather than remaining in the current tab. This has never occurred before upgrading to FF 10.0.2. Played with tab setting in options window with no luck. Please help - very annoying.

    Windows Vista. FF 10.0.2 (2 days ago).

    Many of your points are totally legitimate.
    This one, however, is not:
    …To put it another way, the design of the site seems to be geared much more towards its regular users than those the site is supposedly trying to "help"…
    The design and management of the forums for more than five years have driven literally dozens of the most valuable contributors and "regulars" away from the forums—permanently.
    The only conclusion a prudent, reasonable person can draw from this state of affairs is that Adobe consciously and deliberately want to kill these forums by attrition—without a the PR hit they would otherwise take if they suddenly just shut them down.

  • When I click the home button, it takes me to my home page AND opens a blank tab. How can I get it to stop opening the new tab!

    I have igoogle as my hompage. When I click the home button, it will open my igoogle page but also open up a blank tab as well. Firefox didn't always do this, it just started. Maybe when I upgraded to the 5.0. I've tried looking in the options and I can't find something there and there doesn't seem to be a solution on the web. How do I get it to stop doing that?

  • How do i set firefox to open a new tab with a specified web page..?

    Ive just installed firefox 5, and when i open a new tab, it open with a blank page. My previous version of firefox opened with my most visited pages as thumbnails. Can i revert to this setup, or can i set firefox 5 to open a new tab with a specified web page e.g google news...?

    No this isnt the problem. I want it to open a new tab with Google Search page and not with the big showcase of all my other pages.

  • When I click on a new site I want it to AUTOMATICALLY come up in a new tab WITHOUT HAVING TO RIGHT CLICK AND PUT 'OPEN IN NEW TAB'. It used to do this but has stopped,..., how do I do this?

    Always before when I wanted to click on a new website or a location I found searching google for example, the new website or place I found ALWAYS POPPED UP IN A NEW TAB AUTOMATICALLY WITHOUT me having to right click and say 'open in new tab'. For some reason it is not doing that anymore and when I click on an item it is coming up in the tab I am currently in. How can I set FF to automatically open a new tab whenever I click on a new site like it did before? This is driving me nuts since I am not a computer person at all and had it working the way I was used to before. Please help me fix it back.
    Thank you so much.
    Celeste

    You can also hold down the Ctrl key and left-click or use an extension to force opening a link in a new tab.

  • When I open a new tab, how can I get the curson to be on the URL line instead of in a search engine box?

    When I open a new tab I almost always I know the URL of where I want to go. Therefore I do not want my cursor to be placed in the box of a search engine upon opening the new tab. I want it to be on the address line.

    A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
    If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.
