Clicking a .gif file only allows save or save as. How do you get it to open in new tab?

Doesn't appear in Options > Applications and there doesn't seem to be a way to add the filetype.

That image works for me and opens in a tab if I click the link on that page with the current Aurora build.
That file is send as image/gif and Content-Disposition: inline; filename*=UTF-8''BBCode
<br />
Firefox shows image.php in the title bar, but if I save the image then I see BBCode.gif for the name.
If you get the save file dialog then that might be caused by the image.php name that you see if you click the image to open it in a tab.<br />
Do you have any action for the php file type?

  • How do I get firefox to open a new window when i click on a link in a webpage ?

    When I click on a link in a webpage in Firefox, generally it opens the new page in the window i am in (though some times it does not). How do I get it to open a new window (or tab) each time I click a link.
    For example, on www.bbc.co.uk if I click on a link, the new page opens in the same window, if I then click another link in the new window, again, it opens in the same window. To get back to the original window, I have to use the back button twice. Surely there is a setting so that all 3 windows can be open on separate tabs or separate windows.
    I have been to the tabs window in options, but doesn't seem to make a difference.

    Open link/bookmark in new tab in same window:
    *Middle-click (press the mouse scroll wheel) the link
    *Ctrl+left click the link
    *right-click the link, choose "Open Link in New Tab"
    Open link/bookmark in new window:
    * Shift+Enter on the link
    * Shift+left click on the link

  • I can't get Firefox to open a new tab each time I click on a link or favorite. It keeps loading onto the current tab.

    I went to Tools>Options>Tabs and entered a check mark next to the first entry, "Open New Windows in a New Tab Instead" but it still does not open a new tab each time I click on a link or one of my favorites. It used to way back in earlier versions of Firefox but hasn't for the past few iterations...am I doing something wrong or do I need to activate something else within Firefox?

    '''''"I went to Tools>Options>Tabs and entered a check mark next to the first entry, "Open New Windows in a New Tab Instead" but it still does not open a new tab each time I click on a link or one of my favorites."'''''
    That option only controls pages that would open in a new window based on the code on the website page you are visiting.
    Firefox's default is to open a link or a Bookmark in the currently selected tab.
    You have some options to have links and/or Bookmarks open in a new tab:
    *middle-click the link or Bookmark (middle-click = press the mouse scroll wheel)
    *CTRL+left-click the link or Bookmark
    *right-click the link or Bookmark and choose "Open in New Tab"
    *install one of the following and set the options to automatically open links or Bookmarks in a new tab:

  • How do I stop Firefox from opening a new tab when I click a link or navigation button (such as "home") instead of redirecting using the currently open tab?

    Any time I click on a link within a page, such as the "home" link in Facebook, or the various links on the Mozilla page that I needed to follow to get to this screen, Firefox opens a new tab instead of redirecting using the tab I'm on. Also, Firefox doesn't go to the new tab, it just opens it. So if I want to actually go to the page I've just clicked on, I have to then also find and click on the new tab that just opened.

    Hello,
    In safe mode link still open in new tabs?
    *[http://mzl.la/MwuO4X Firefox in safe mode]
    Go to '''about:config''' and search for:
    *'''browser.tabs.loadInBackground''' change its value to '''false'''.
    If in safe mode the links still open in new tabs try go to '''about:config''' and search for:
    *'''browser.link.open_newwindow''' change its value to '''3'''.

  • How to stop video Autoplay when opened in new tab (before clicking on the tab)

    In Firefox on my old PC, and Safari on the current Mac, if I open a video in a new tab, the video would not auto-play, until I clicked on the tab. On Firefox on the Mac the video just auto plays. This is pretty annoying when I open 4 or 5 videos in different tabs and they all start playing. I want to click on the tab before it starts playing.
    As safari on the Mac does not play the videos automatically, I am hoping there is a way to stop it on Firefox?
    So an example is metacafe.com. If you open a video in a new tab, the video will start playing automatically, whether you click on the tab or not.
    If you open up the same site in safari, and open the video in a new tab, the video will only start playing once you have clicked on the tab.

    ...still blooming me!
    Who else the autoplay helps?
    Internet Service Providers for customers that have a 'LIMITED' monthly bandwidth.
    It makes you waste a lot of it and 'force' you to buy more EXTRA and not needed allowance!
    But above all that. WHAT ABOUT OUR RIGHT TO CHOOSE ?

    hello, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by malware on your pc. please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and do a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

  • HT3787 If you accidentally eject that local file (plain white disk image) from another user, can you get it back?

    If you accidentally eject local file from mobile me from another user, how can you get it back? Or is it stored somewhere else????
    My website was saved on there. And I need it!!
    I didn't realize that was the idisk since mobileme has been gone for so long.

    That's what I was hoping.  I use Time Machine to back up the entire computer.  But I'm assuming it was a disk image, and that wouldn't be saved on the backup?  Or where could I find it?

    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
