Clinked Hyperlink opens in two Tabs?? Captivate 3

Got an interesting issue that I have not seen before
in Captivate 3. An imported .ppt slide deck that has hyperlinks on
several of the slide is opening the links, when clicked, in two
browser windows or two browser tabs. any Ideas on how to resolve? I
can add click boxes over the links and those open in a single
window/tab without issue but really do not want to do that for all
hyperlinks.
Thanx in advance,
Jim

Hi Jim
Click Box and Button objects should pause the slide until the
user clicks. This is their default behavior. Once the user clicks,
they often carry out two actions.
* They perform the action assigned
* The click releases the pause and the slide continues play
If you have used a Button object, these are OCC (One Click
Chumps) all you get is a single click. If you have used a Click Box
object, you may repeatedly click them and the action will be
carried out time and time again.
If you have pointed either one of these at a URL, you should
edit the properties of the object. Specifically, look to the right
of where you typed the URL. You should see a small button with a
down arrow on it. Click this button and you should see an option
labeled
New. Choose this option and the link should open in a new
tab or browser instance. But if that's all you did, the page would
open and play would continue on your Captivate. So what you have to
do is to click the button a second time and ensure you DE-select
the option labeled "Continue Playing Project". If you do this, the
project should stay put until you return.
Cheers... Rick

All new pages from hyperlinks open in new tab.

All links I click always open in a new tab. I mean, really ALL links, even links which do not use target='_blank" or something like that. I don't press Ctrl key. All was fine until yesterday and I haven't explicitly changed any configuration. Maybe there is a configuration I've changed by pressing a conbination of keys unintentionally, but I can't find anything in the configuration about that (about:config). This is not a problem with an ad-on. I have tried starting in safe mode, resetting, and reinstalling.
Firefox version 27.0.1, on Windows 8.

I started having this problem awhile back. Don't remember exactly when. 4-6 weeks maybe. It steadily got worse. It became chronic.
I tried re-starting Firefox with Add-ons disabled.
I tried re-setting Firefox.
I have always ran Firefox with the Menu Bar displayed. 4 days ago I changed that to not display the Menu Bar.
Instantly my links started working OK. No more "new tab". I ran that way for 24 hours and then changed the display back to show the Menu Bar.
My links continued to open OK and have remained that way for the past 48 hours. Not one time has the problem came back.
I am running Win7 Professional SP 1. Firefox 28.0.

Firefox always opens with two tabs, one the tab I want, plus an additional tab NEW TAB which I don't want. How can I stop the additional NEW TAB?

I open Firefox in new windows for sites I want to go to. I don't open in Tabs. Each time I open an new firefox window and when I restore the windows I had open, each site has an additional tab (2-tabs). The first tab is the site I want up the second tab is NEW TAB. I have to go through 10 to 14 Firefox windowe to close each 2nd and additional NEW TAB to individually close the NEW TABS. I had this before updating to the current Firefox and thought upgrading would solve this issue, but it didn't.

I started in safe Mode. I have the default theme. Starting in safe mode still gave me the same problem. I went back to the normal Firefox and still had the same problem. Yesterday I restarted my computer for 11 Windows updates. I am not going to spend all day starting and restarting my computer and removing my History and whatever else. Firefox should have a direct contact to it's users, to assist them instead of having their users work for them as forum responders and trouble shooters. This has already taken up way too much of my time.
I will say in normal Firefox the additional NEW TAB had no URL in it, but it did have the 12 icons on the page. In Safe Mode it had a URL that began with Chrome and it had a blank page, it didn't have the 12 icons as in normal mode. I don't have anything Chrome on my computer.

Firefox opens with two tab both saying "connecting" and the cursor spins, and nothing happens. I have to force quit it each time. I'm using MAC OS 10.7.2

There isn't more to say. There is no library in the system as far as I can see. I'd like to use firefox and can't get past this hang.

*Firefox 4 versions and later do not run on a PowerPC Mac.
*Firefox 4 and later require at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

I get two tabs with my identical home page every time I open Firefox. How do I "unpin" one of them so that only one tab is populated when I open Firefox?

When I installed Firefox I inadvertently responded "yes" when asked if I wanted to "pin" my home page to the browser. l also designated that page (my Juno page) as my home page. So now whenever I open Firefox, two tabs appear with my identical home page. How do I fix it so that only one tab appears when I open Firefox?

Its not my home page, Like I said, I hae my home page also come up in a different tab (google) I also get the welcome to FF4 on a seperate tab. My home page is set to google. But I dont want the welcome screen to pop up

Visio Webpart-links opens in new tab

Hi,
I have created a Visio-document with some shapes. I have set hyperlinks to other .aspx-files in the
SitePages-library on these shapes.
Everytime I click on a linked shape it opens in a new tab. How can I solve this?
For your information: The ShapeSheet in Visio is correctly set up. "NewWindow" is set to "False".
I have Sharepoint 365.
Thanks in advance!
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
According to your description, my understanding is that the hyperlink of
Visio document opens with new tab.
For my test, I create a rectangle with hyperlink
in a Visio document and set the NewWindow property of the hyperlink to false using VB coding as below:
Public Sub NewWindow_Example()
Dim vsoHyperlink As Visio.Hyperlink
Set vsoHyperlink = ActivePage.DrawRectangle(0,0,5,5).AddHyperlink
vsoHyperlink.Address = "http://www.microsoft.com/"
vsoHyperlink.NewWindow = False
End Sub
But this hyperlink opens in new tab in my SharePoint 2013 Online as your scenario. It is by default that SharePoint 2013 Visio Service deals with
the hyperlink of Visio document. There is no approach that Microsoft Visio keep the same location when it follows a hyperlink to open a Web page.

# From the dropdown list, select ''Manage Search Engines...''.
# Select "Mysearchdial".
# Click "Delete" or "Remove".
Hope this helps!

Hyperlink/button always opens in new tab/window

Hello everyone,
is there any way to change this ? I have a swf based menu with links to current site, but it always opens a new tab.
Also, can i choose where to apply "interactive page curl" or it must be applied to all pages ?
Thanks

Defining a hyperlink (in Indesign) for an exported swf file to open an URL in the same browser window is not possible. And I think you are out of luck for page curl on certain pages, I think it will apply to all pages. These two scenarios would require working in Flash.

Create Hyperlinks that open in new tab or window?!

Hello,
Ok, so, this has been asked other times for many versions of InDesign and most common response is to do it in Acrobat Pro. WHY?!!!! I couldn't even easily figure out how to do it there and frankly, don't want to. That seems so backwards and tedious to have to do...seriously. How is this not an option in InDesign Hyperlink edit creation/options yet?!! It is SO simple. Please tell me I'm missing something... I love Adobe products and especially CC products that are getting better and more time saving...but this is so dumb, I'm sorry. I'm no smarty software engineer but I know what user friendly is and how things should work for everyone...and it seems like an easy thing to make possible. Many people create PDF's in InDesign for viewing/downloading in a browser and this needs to be an option with-in InDesign CC. Simple as that. When the PDF is opened in Acrobat the links do open in new tab/window but NOT when it is viewed in a browser. This is why I should or maybe shouldn't work for Adobe, I wouldn't let little things like this, that actually makes a big difference in user experience, go unnoticed and unchanged over so many new releases and updates...or ever be taken away. I guess I'll put in an InDesign CC features request...
Thanks to anyone who agrees and relays...or lets me know I'm missing something.
Andy

I would also like a solution to this problem. It seems to have been around for quite a while.

Firefox 12 is very slow to load pages and if two tabs are opening it lags.

Firefox 12 is very slow to load pages and if two tabs are opening it lags. I've tried everything (e.g virus, defrag, I've created a new profile in "run", etc). I've had my router/line etc all checked and after 2 weeks of cleaning/testing etc its all pointing to Firefox as the problem. Please help as it's driving me nuts.

I have the exact same problem.
Not only does it load pages very slowly, sometimes the page will stop for a good 45 seconds and stop loading, only to finish it much later.
Something is wrong with Firefox 12, it shouldn't be this slow.
How is that each version is progressively worse than the one before it?.
Stop releasing so many versions Mozilla, release one that works and build from there.

Updated Firefox, now when I open a new tab, there is two seperate google search bars; how do I get rid of the unnecessary search bar?

I updated Firefox, and after I restarted it, when I opened a new tab, I found that I now had two Google search bars: one next to where you type web addresses, and one right above my pinned sites (or my frequently visited sites). I'm just trying to:
1. Figure out why it is necessary to have two of the pretty much identically useful search bars when I really only need one (or can physically type Google in)
and
2. How do I get rid of the unnecessary second Google search bar above my frequently visited and therefore pinned sites.
If you have any ideas of how to remove this annoying addition, I would appreciate it.

I am guessing that you installed an extension, related to "new tab", which added the first search bar. Firefox 31 in includes a search bar for the "new tab" page; so now you have two.
Take a look at that extension (Options or Preferences) to see how to disable ones of those 2 search bars. Or see if an update has been released for that extension, specifically for Firefox 31, with an option to disable the search bar.

Firefox opens automatically with two tabs, one of which will never close and can't be used, how can I fix this issue?

I have a Macbook Pro running 10.6.8 and Firefox 5.0.1
I have had this issue for a while and was hoping that the newest release would solve my problem, it didn't. I looked online for solutions, none of which fixed the issue
*Some pointed the finger at the extension Invisible Hand, which I never had.
*Some suggested putting Firefox into safe mode, this solves the problem, but since it stops me from installing any extensions this is not a workable solution.
*It was advised that I create a new profile, which I tried, this did absolutely nothing, the blank page appeared again after a short period of time and still can't be closed or clicked on, and this was before I added any add-ons. Which leads me to believe that the issue lies with Firefox.
Though on a side note when I quit Firefox, with only my current tab and the "tab that can't be closed" still open, Firefox notices that there are two tabs open and warns me that I am going to be closing both. The only work around I have found is to set the "tab that can't be closed" as an app tab for the current session, but when I open Firefox the next time, the app tab which was the "tab that can't be closed" can now be closed and a new "tab that can't be closed" appears as if it were a new blank tab, just like every other time I open Firefox.

I started in safe Mode. I have the default theme. Starting in safe mode still gave me the same problem. I went back to the normal Firefox and still had the same problem. Yesterday I restarted my computer for 11 Windows updates. I am not going to spend all day starting and restarting my computer and removing my History and whatever else.

When I try to open a new tab using the "+" on the toolbar, nothing happens. Even trying to use the cntl t to open a new tab does not work. To open a new tab, I must right click on a hyperlink. how can I correct this? Using Firefox 3.6.18

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

Why does right clinking on link and selecting open in new tab does not work?

Why does right clinking on link and selecting open in new tab does not work?
It opens up a blank page. The only way to make the link work is to click on the navigation bar in the new tab and press enter to reload the link.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? ''A troubleshooting mode.'' 
1.You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut. 
2. Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.''

Set Firefox to open a new tab without selecting it from the context menu by two-finger tapping in Lion

In Snow Leopard, I had somehow set the two finger tap to open a new tab either from a link on a page or from my bookmarks bar, without having to select "Open a new tab" from the context menu. I recently upgraded to Lion and I can't remember how I set this feature-- or is it just not available anymore?

There is a plugin for this and you can configure it as shown in the attached screen to open all links from the web page in a new tab by just clicking on it and not having to follow the native steps
