Clicking on a link often causes the link to open behind the window with the linik.

Clicking on a link often causes the link to open behind the window with the link.
This occurs most frequently when only one or two windows are open.

Work around found.
The problem was occurring in links on a web page I created for my home page with "target=_new". Changing this to "target=_blank" fixed the problem. The old links worked fine before version16.

    I'm running Firefox 3.6.13 and if I click on a link to open a new window nothing shows up - i.e. if I click on 'enlarge' on an Ebay auction photo a new window opens but it's blank inside.
    Any ideas please? I've tried uninstalling and re-installing, and downloading and installing Flash but no joy.

  • Firefox closes after I click on a link to open a new window

    I had to reinstall Window 7, and of course, Firefox and Thunderbird. Now Firefox closes after I click on a link to open a new window. For example, if I'm in Thunderbird, and i click on a link in an email, Firefox gives me a message like "Firefox is already open, but must close before opening a new window."

    Is there more than one installation of Firefox listed in the Programs installed?

  • When I click on a link, Firefox opens a new window for that link, how do I change this setting?

    I am unaware of having made any changes to my settings before this started. The best way I can describe it is that simply clicking on a link causes it to "open link in new window" rather than simply "open"

  • Links that open a new window with javascript:void(null); do not work in 3.1

    I've been noticing that any site I go to that opens content in a new window with "javascript:void(null);" will be ignored by Safari 3.1. The links work in Firefox and used to work in Safari as well. Any suggestions?

    General rule of thumb in the Mac universe...
    When Safari is updated most if not all third party add-ons break. That's because most don't play by the rules. The developer thinks they know how to do it better than Apple so they just do it their way. So the first rule of survival is to KNOW what you have installed on your machine at all times. Use something like textedit to create a document listing all of the third party stuff you have installed and religiously update the list. Second rule is to wait a few days before applying an update. Third rule is to visit your third party developers' sites and make sure their little gadget is compatible with the new Safari update.
    Being aware of things will make life much easier for you in the long run.

    I'm not very good with computers, so I need to be told how to do this as simple as possible. Please help.

    It's not a virus.
    You may have inadvertently installed adware. Eradicating it is simple and you don't have to download or install anything to fix it. For an explanation or how this may have occurred, how to avoid it in the future, and for one possible solution read How to install adware.

  • When I click on a link, it opens in a new window but the window is BLANK and I can't type anything. I have firefox 3.5.2

  • Ever since I downloaded the new Firefox, when I right-click on a link to open it in a different tab, the tab will open but will not load anything, no matter what link I try.

    Ever since I downloaded the new Firefox, when I right-click on a link to open it in a different tab, the tab will open but will not load anything, no matter what link I try. The tab will show the website destination in the navigation bar, but will not automatically load it; I have to press the load button in the navigation bar instead of it instantly loading.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == The newest version, 3.6.6, of Firefox was downloaded

    It's not specific sites. I can middle-click on the same link 50 times and it will open it in a new tab 45 times and 5 of those times, it will randomly open it in an entirely new window. I don't know what's causing this.
    It happens so randomly that I don't know how to pin-point what it could be.

  • When I click on a link that opens up automatically in a new window (ie internet banking), it will not load at all.Page remains blank.

    Links that open in new windows do not load. The page remains blank. I have downloaded other web browsers and these pages all work with these browsers. I have been using firefox for years and this has only started happening in the last month or so. Is there an update that can fix this? I have also uninstalled and then reinstalled firefox and still the same thing.
    There are no error messages, just a picture of a white sheet of paper in the top left hand corner with the writing "search book marks and history". New tabs are working, it's just the new windows that won't load.

  • Clicking on a link to open a new page or tab gives me a blank page.

    If I click on a link to open a new page or a new tab, the page that opens is always blank and no address is in the address bar. Also, occasionally, my refresh button is "grayed" out so I can't hit that either. I think this is some sort of security setting blocking it. Can anyone help.

    Thanks Jason, I had the same problem and did exactly the steps above. Problem solved! You rock! :)

  • Clicking any tab or portal link it opens a new window

    Hello,
    We are using SAP EP7 and when we click any portal tab or link it opens a new window instead of opening it in the same one.
    What can we do to open tabs and links in the same window?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Yes, it looks like a problem with WPM (WorkProtect Mode).
    Have a look at this SAP NOTE : 734861. Incase of of iViews, if any data that you entered needs to be saved, then as per the configuration a new window opens up whenever you click any link. This allows you to continue working with the old window, save the data and thereby avoid loss of data. This configuration can be tuned to make it user friendly.
    Also have a look at this thread : New window opens on every EP page click for *some* users
    Hope this helps.
    PS: Consider rewarding points for helpful answers and for answer that helps you solve your problem.

  • Clicking on a link that opens Internet Explorer slows all applications to near frozen. Solution?

    Firefox is my default browser. Every time I click on a link that opens in Internet Explorer (I. E.) , my entire system slows to near freezing. All operations, including shut down, take forever. The only way I've found to resolve the issue has been to shut down, and reboot. I've tried to avoid clicking on I. E. links, but some websites (especially some customer service links) seem to be available only through I. E.

    Hi,
    Usually if such programs are hard-coded to look for and open IE, then setting Firefox as the default browser ('''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options''' > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Advanced%20panel?as=u Advanced] > '''General''') may not be effective. You can try to contact the providers and request an update to their programs/services. You can also try to deselect Internet Explorer in Windows Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs > Add/Remove Windows Components (this only removes the references from the Start menu, other locations and hides the IE executable, doesn't uninstall IE).

  • When I clicked on a link, it opens into a new window. I would prefer that it opens as a new tab. Does anybody know how to change this? Thanks

    Thanks

    Tools > Options > Tabs: [X] "Open new windows in a new tab instead"
    You can look at the browser.link.open_newwindow prefs on the about:config page if you want to divert all JavaScript window.open() calls to a new tab.
