Clicking on Safari no longer gives option to open new windows

Hi,
Snow Leopard is fast for me and has given me back 11 Gigs of space so I'm delighted .
However, in Leopard - if you wanted a new safari window while another was already opened, all you had to do was keep the safari logo clicked, and in the options that came up, you would click on New Window"
This option no longer exists - is there anyway to force it back?
You can still press cmd and N to get a new wndow but the old option was nice.
Thanks
Tom

Tom ~ You can still get the options (which include New Window) to pop up from Safari's Dock icon by doing one of the following:
• Right click
• Control click
• Two-finger tap (if configured for "secondary click" in trackpad System Prefs)

  • Under options/tabs: open new windows in a new tab instead does not work. many sites open their popups or new windows NOT in a tab as it should. How to solve this, has been a problem in the last versions incl. the latest.

    i would like the option ´open new window in new tab instead´ working properly so no new windows will be opened except when I command them to..
    as said, many websites have popups (most are blocked, still some come through) who open in a new window.

    Type '''about:config''' in the Location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key. When you see a warning, click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''' button.
    * Preferences that have been modified are shown as '''bold (user set)'''.
    * Preferences can be '''Reset to the default''' or changed via the right-click context menu.
    -> In the '''Filter bar''' type '''browser.link.open_newwindow'''
    * Right click the preference '''browser.link.open_newwindow''' and click '''Modify'''
    * change the value to '''3'''
    * click OK
    -> In the '''Filter bar''' type '''browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction'''
    * Right click the preference '''browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction''' and click '''Modify'''
    * change the value to '''0''' (zero)
    * click OK
    -> Close the '''about:config''' tab and then Restart Firefox.
    Check and tell if its working.

  • Option to open new window or new tab via right click on taskbar icon in WinXP, Firefox 10 is not available

    When I right click on the Firefox tab/icon in the taskbar, there is no option for me to open a new window or new tab. I am only offered the ability to Move, Size, Minimize, Maximize or Close Firefox.

    That is the Windows System menu and is maintained by Windows XP.
    You need to open Firefox to open a new tab or create a shortcut with the -new-tab or -new-window command line switch if you want to do that via the desktop.

  • Not able to open firefox, will open if I click on firefox icon, go to finder and open "new window". How can I get it to open up right away again. Thanks. RK

    When I double click on firefox, it will not open. I am able to open it by going to "file and clicking on "new window". It just happened today. Thanks. RK

    Do you mean https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/amazon-s3-organizers3fox/?
    Please update to Firefox 23, the version you have is horribly out of date and will have alot of problems. [[Update Firefox to the latest version]]

  • Why when I click the Safari icon in my dock to open Safari it will not open onto my home page?

    After downloading the new version of Safari it no longer gives the option to open Safari with your home page. The only options are to open Safari with a blank page or the last page you viewed.
    In addition, when Im using Safari and I press Command+N to open a new page I would like that page to be the same as the page I was originally on. Example: If I am on Amazon.com and I press Command+N I would like a new page to open ALSO on Amazon.com

    Carolyn thank you for your response,
    I know how to set my home page what I am trying to do is make it so when I launch Safari it will OPEN on my home page.
    In "Safari / Preferences / Apple opens with" the ONLY options are:
    "A new window"
    or
    "All windows from last session"
    How can I make it my "Home Page"?
    In addition, when Im using Safari and I press Command+N to open a new page I would like that page to be the same as the page I was originally on NOT my home page.

  • Missing options of "Enter Private Browsing" "Open new tab" and "Open new window" when right click (right context menu) firefox icon on taskbar

    Hello,
    ''jstavene wrote:''
    can find nothing under the tools menu for private browsing?
    Then it's not the same issue.
    If Firefox is set to '''Never remember history''', then you're in “permanent private browsing” mode, in which case the menu item ''Stop Private Browsing'' will be grayed out. Perhaps that's the case, and you don't find the menu item easy to see?
    * [[Settings for privacy, browsing history and do-not-track]]
    If that's not the case, then menu items can be hidden using the userChrome.css file. Check if it exists, and if it's there, rename it, then restart Firefox.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css
    In Firefox Nightly (what will become Firefox 20), per-window private browsing has been added, so the menu item under the Tools menu is gone. It's been replaced by New Private Window under the File menu. I don't suppose it's very likely that you're using such a cutting-edge test version of Firefox though.
    If that doesn't solve the problem, since it's a different issue, it would be best if you would ask a new question.

    While launching Mail, I clicked on Safari, to check something while Mail got new emails, but now Mail appears on the same screen as Safari. Is there a way I can return it to it's own screen, please?
    I haven't changed any prefs, only clicked Safari as mail was being launched.

    Sorry... Apple IDs cannot be merged...
    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

  • Safari 5 Opens but no window comes up? Even after I click open new window.

    So i downloaded Safari 5 form the update and then from the full download install.
    My problem is...
    Safari opens.
    but no window opens.
    I go to the top I click safari and go down to "Open new window"
    Still nothing.
    I click to quit safari.
    It says "0,1,2,3 windows are open in safari do you want to quit anyway?"
    (depending on how many times I clicked to open a new window)
    but even tho it is sayign windows are open my computer doesnt show them anywhere.
    any help people?

    Hi,
    Try launching Safari from your Applicatioms folder instead of the Dock.
    If that doesn't help ...
    Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues

  • I installed ADE and when I try to download ebook it tries to open with Adobe reader and does not give option to open with ADE

    I installed ADE and when I try to download ebook it tries to open with Adobe reader and does not give option to open with ADE

    It sounds as if you downloaded Adobe Acrobat Pro. If you did, uninstall it. Then repair Adobe Reader.
    The free Acrobat account has no connection to any of this.

  • Firefox 4 was set on "Open new windows in a new tab instead." I unclicked that to test opening in a new window. Decided to go back to the tab option, clicked on it but it does not engage and Firefox 4 continues to open in a new window. Is this a glitch?

    I did try rebooting, no go. If anyone knows a way to get that option working, it would be appreciated. Thanks.

    (''Note: cross posted from [https://support.mozilla.com/nl/questions/801471 here].'')
    I had the same problem, but was able to fix it somewhat.
    # Open the about:config page.
    # Set the ''browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction'' setting to 0 (= zero).
    On my machine this will open new windows in a new tab. However, it switches to the new tab regardless of the setting ''"When I open a link in new tab, switch to it immediatly"''.

  • Finder Windows always open new windows when clicking subfolders

    since i upgraded to 10.5.6, my finder windows only open new windows when I click on a subfolder. this is no matter what I do with the setting in preferences.
    Also, my finder windows no longer display the side bars with folder icons.
    I searched my library (and whole computer) for the finder preferences .plist file and can't find it. (was going to delete it and re-create it).
    Any ideas here?

    Thanks for the star.
    The default of Finder’s Find will not search that folder, but you can change the pulldown menu just beneath where it says Search, from Kind to System files by selecting Other from that menu and then scroll down the next window and check the box next to System files. You’ll then need to change the pulldown menu next to that to “include” instead of “don’t include.”
    The next time you do a search using Find, that pulldown menu will have System files as an option, if you think you might want to search for something in your home folder.

  • In Tools Options Tabs, my choice is to 'open new window in new tab.' Only opens tab, never window.

    Running Firefox version 35.0.1 in Windows 8.1.
    In Tools>Options>Tabs, my choice is to 'open new window in a new tab instead.' Whether the box is checked or not checked, I ONLY get tabs, no window. I do not want tabs for anything.
    How can I fix it so I check the box and get a window?
    Thank you.

    Uncheck that box in order to open new tabs in a new window.
    To have complete control, however you can right click on any link and choose "Open in new window" regardless of what is checked in that setting.
    I hope this helps.

  • IE 11 open new tab opens new window, clicking open new tab opens black page in same tab

    Hi I have a problem with IE11 on Windows 8.1 Desktop mode which is driving me crazy.
    When i click on the open new tab button it will open in the same tab in the same window and you cant go to any website and the website on where on's address is still in the address bar.
    Right click a link and select open new tab most of the time opens new window with long pause.
    I have tried everything to fix this even re installing windows, but the problem persists after re install as i think its attaching itself to my Microsoft account.
    I have disabled all add-ons run virus and walware scans reset IE to defaults removed and re-installed IE all to no avail!
    Any help would be much appreciated.

  • I have the open new windows in a new tab option selected yet it still opens in the same window.

    Firefox v28.0, Mac OS X 10.9.2, 3.5 GHz Intel Core i7.
    Operating in safe mode. In the preferences menu I have the "Open new window in a new tab instead" box checked yet when I click on links the new page opens in the current window. If I control click I have the option of opening the new window in a new tab

    The setting in Tools > Options > Tabs: "New pages should be opened in": "a new tab/window" is for links that specify a target window to open the link.<br />
    That option allows to divert such links to a new tab instead of a new window.
    Links that do not specify a target always open in the current tab unless you override that with a middle-click or Ctrl left-click (new tab) or Shift left-click (new window) or via the right-click context menu.

  • Safari always opens new windows/tabs

    Every time I click on a link Safari opens a new window or tab instead of just going to that link in the window that I am in. So when I close Safari I have multiple pages/tabs open.  It used to just go from page to page without opening new windows or tabs. What setting needs to be changed to get back to the single window?

    I figure out what the problem is. I set the Google search to open link in new window, and then it can be opened in tab with one tap. Thanks for help!
