Disable app link when opening new page in safari

I am wondering if there is a way to turn off the app link that appears in Safari when opening a new page on websites that have apps available. This is super annoying to me because if I wanted to open the app, or install the app for that matter I WOULD OPEN OR INSTALL IT MYSELF, lol. I don't need a popup taking up screen space, slowing down how Safari loads and operates. This pops up every time I load a new Google page, or Amazon page - etc, whether I have the app installed or not. I've been all through the settings and searching the web and I cant find any way to turn this "feature" off. Can anyone out there help me please?

Hi Scooter!
Thanks for posting a Presuming "SOLUTION"
I don't have these problems as you described, but did you drag the Cookies.plist to the desktop and relaunch Safari an try to open a NEW TAP.
What happens now ... is Safari handling opening a new tap from the TOP SITE window?

Why does Firefox get hung up, when opening new pages? I've tried disabling plugins and extensions to no avail.

Initially, when I open Firefox everything opens very quickly. However, after several minutes it gets hung up when opening new pages. I have close the browser and reopen it to start over. But each time it does the same thing. Works well at first then poops out. The trouble started yesterday. Before then, I never had any problems.
I've tried disabling all the plugins and extensions, but it doesn't make any difference.

It would be nice if you could open a link in a new page in Safari

And/or save images from the web to your phone.
And/or have some form of Copy/Paste.

Don't know about any change in the status quo for copy 'n paste or saving stuff locally, but opening links in new pages is addressed with a 'bookmarklet'. http://www.lifeclever.com/17-powerful-bookmarklets-for-your-iphone/

Horizontal menu moves when opening new pages

I have seven top level pages and have used the horizontal menu widget in my master page. When I view the site in my browser the first four pages load with no problem but when I open the last three pages the menu moves about 20pixles to the right. If I then open say page two from this page the menu then reverts back to the original place as it was in the home page.
Can anyone advise me as to why this is happening. I have also tried this with the last four pages left blank and the problem still exists so I would assume that the page content is not the cause.
Thank you in anticipation

One way that it could shift is if the first few pages are longer than the others and the side scroll displays or disappears.

When opening new page on latest version, I get two Java Script error messages.

Mac Snow Leopard
Error Messages are:
[JavaScript Application]
Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80520012 (NS_ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND) [nsIFileInputStream.init]" nsresult: "0x80520012 (NS_ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://1clickweather/content/js/utils/filemanager.js :: <TOP_LEVEL> :: line 233" data: no]
I hit OK then:

A new tab opens by default as a blank tab.<br />
You need an extension if you want to open a page in that tab.
You can look at one of these extensions:
* NewTabURL : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
* New Tab Homepage : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/

Links that open new windows in Safari instead of new Tabs...grrrr!!!!

Why is it that when clicking on a link in a website sometimes open a new tab in the same window (which is great) an other times it opens a completely new window (annoying)? I have already ticked the box which tells safari to open new links in tabs rather than a new window, but it continues to open new windows...although not always. Firefox seems to handle this feature a lot better. Any ideas?

Funny you should post this. I was just looking for this answer as well and I found this:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9343894&#9343894
thread. Basically, enter:
defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true
in a terminal window and it will change to the behavior you desire. Change 'true' to 'false' to revert back.

MacBook Pro Freezing when opening new tab in Safari - MY SOLUTION

All,
I have been battling with a Safari issue for months; I have seen many postings of the same and similar problems.
Problem when opening a new tab in Safari the computer completely froze up. Sometimes the curser still moved around but could not select anything, requiring a hard reset. Sometime the screen went blue and the computer reset on its own. Crashed at least once daily.
I thought it might be OSX, Safari or Flash; however I upgraded each of those several times with no major progress. Note adobe is constantly upgrading flash and some recommended you should use their uninstaller before upgrading.
One thing I noticed when opening a new tab was that the tab was a bit slow in opening, taking a few seconds with a hiccup to show "top sites." I got suspicious when I saw the lead picture of one site with a blank adobe flash warning showing up for a second or two... My system is a few years old but has a fast drive, lots of memory and is optimized for speeeed.
MY SOLUTION>>>
So I tried changing how the new tab showed up by selecting: Safari>Preferences>General>New Tabs Open With Empty Page. I think that worked but don't remember. I really missed the "top sites" preview. So I put that back and just killed the flash ridden site from the "top sites" (just open a tab, click edit at the bottom left corner of the tab then click on "x" for the suspect site).
FYI - The suspect site administrator told the browser could be storing a corrupt cookie; I reset Safari and ran OnyX so am not sure if that is the issue but it might be a clue for others.
FYII - I think the problem is related to flash implementations on some sites if that was not clear in the text
Hope this helps.

Missing PDF plug in when opening a page in Safari

Hello. I am trying to open a webpage in Safari that contains an embedded PDF. I do get a message saying "missing PDF plug-in", but I already have Adobe Acrobat X (Upgraded Version) on the MBP.
I have already set the PDF's to open with Acrobat X. Any ideas?

Use Preview instead

Want link to open new page instead

I would like for a number of the links on my XHTML site to
load in new windows when you go to those links, but presently, they
are loading in the same window, thus taking potential customers
completely away from my site. This is not something that I want.
What setting, or modifacation do I need to do in order to get these
pages to load in new windows instead of the same window?
Thanks in advance.
Nick

It's slick, but bypassing the intent of the restriction, as
Alan says.

When opening new page, an extra window says "problem loading page"

Opening the Firefox browser causes a second tab at the bottom to pop up that reads "problem loading page"...the pages I want to view open up fine, on all websites, I just get an extra annoying tab with that message...if I click on that tab, a small window pops up in the upper left hand corner of the screen that has the error message. I am using FF 3.6. This just started happening recently...possibly after my las FF upgrade.

When I click on a web page link, it creates a bookmark does not open page, need to right click and open new page or tab

When I click on a web page link, it creates a bookmark does not open page, need to right click and open new page or tab

My own problem not a system one

When I click a link to a new page sometimes it opens an unrelated add page.

just after we updated to Firefox4 it seems we picked up the "xp antivirus 2011" malware which seems resolved now however, about 30% of the time when clicking a link to a new page from either an current page or a search results page, what opens is an add site not the link page. It seems random and benign so far but really makes me nervous.

That feature isn't new to 3.6.8, it was changed in 3.6.
Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter.
''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
Filter = '''browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent'''
Double-click that preference to change the value to '''''false'''''

When I click a link to open the page in new tab, it open the new page beside my page.

After I update FireFox to version 3.6.8, I could not open the new page in the last tab, it always opens the new page in beside the tab.
Mmm…I could not make sure the new page or new tab I said is the same with you…?? (I use Chinese version so that I don’t know if it’s the same or not…)
A window could open several pages with different tabs, and I could click different tab to different page, right?
If I right clicked a link to open the page to “new tab” in the same window, the new tab opened in the last tab of my window.
But after I update FireFox to version 3.6.8 and I click a link to open the page to “new tab” in the same windoe, the new tab will open beside my page. (Mmm…Open on right of my page.)
I would like the “new tab” open to the last tab in my window, not “beside” the tab I used. How could I change the setting??)
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== After I update FireFox to 3.6.8

That feature isn't new to 3.6.8, it was changed in 3.6.
Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter.

Most of the time when i click my magic mouse on an item it gives me options like back, open new page, etc.

When I try to use my magic mouse, most of the time it won't open an item but instead will give me options like: back, open new page, open link in new window, and I am actually on top of for instance, the comment field in facebook...It takes several attempts of clicking off the entire page to get it to just open the link or respond appropriately...

the mouse performs a right click instead of a left click. Check your mouse preferences in the system settings.

Won't open new page when I click bookmark, instead changes pages EVEN THO PREFERENCES SET TO OPEN NEW PAGES

Firefox keeps on changing pages, even yanking minimized pages back onto the screen and changing them, even though I have Firefox preferences set to always open new pages to accommodate links on a page or bookmarks.
I don't want Firefox to tamper with any pages, period. If I have a pages minimized, no way should Firefox be yanking that page up back onto the screen because it's "too lazy" to open up a new page to accommodate a bookmark or link clicked on.
It's extremely aggravating to click a link on a page, get a new page then, when I click the page to close it I find no page underneath, indicating that Firefox had changed the original page rather than open up a new page automatically to accommodate the link, etc.
What's the point of me in Firefox preferences setting it up for Firefox to open up new pages automatically when afterwards it doesn't?

Perhaps try the add-on Tab Mix Plus. It has a feature that you can force every link to open in a new tab if you like:
* http://tmp.garyr.net/help/#Links (description of options - see "Force to open in new tab")
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/ (install page)
I don't know whether it has any effect on bookmarks. You can open those in a new window by holding Shift or in a new tab by holding Ctrl when clicking.
