Disable Last tabs opened in new window

I have the "Show my windows and tabs from last time " option enable, but I would like to only have the tabs from the last window closed, so when I start firefox, I get my last tabs from my "last session" and when I create a new window using ctrl + N, I have just a blank page waiting to be used, instead of a bunch of last tabs I opened from another x session.

Thanks both for the help, actually, it does not matter if I close all windows before the last one with my desired tabs opened, I figured out that every time I open a new window when the first one is already opened ( again with my desired last session tabs) the new window always features the following: a gmail tab and next a blank tab.
Actually I would like just the blank tab, if that's possible I would like to know how to set it that way.
Thanks again!

New tabs open in new window or in a pre-existing window that was not currently being used.

What has been happening is that I was running two windows of Firefox at the same time and when trying to open a new tab, the new tab would open in the window that I wasn't currently using. Afterwards I closed one window and upon trying to open links in a new tab, instead it would open a new window.
I have checked the option settings that opening a new window would open a new tab instead is on, which it is.

This can also be a bug.

Clicking 'Open in new tab' opens in new window

Since the latest update (8.01), I've been unable to open links in new tabs without dragging the link up to the tab bar. Alt-clicking the link and clicking 'open in new tab' opens the link in a new window instead (The 'open in new window' works as it should). Also, middle button clicking opens in new window, even though I have the 'Open new windows in a new tab instead' selected in the tabs option menu.

And now it's started working fine...odd.

Tabs opening as new windows even when I click open in a new tab

All of a sudden links that normally opened as new tabs are now opening as new windows. Even when I specifically say open as a new tab it still opens as a new window. I have checked the settings in the tab option so it should be opening them as new tabs. it is highly frustrating!

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Tabs opening in new window when scrolling

I have noticed lately that when I open a new tab and start scrolling down, the new tab suddenly moves from a tab to a new window. very irritating.

Thanks for the response.
I have done exactly in the same manner. Created a new SSWA JSP URL in the form function and given the HTML URL as
OA.jsp?page=/oracle/apps/ar/irec/help/webui/ILSHelpPG
In the processRequest of this page's controller, i am doing pageContext.redirectURL();

How do I disable finder from opening a new window upon mount?

When an external drive is mounted (such as an iPod in disk mode) Finder opens a new window showing the root of the new drive.
I realise why this happens, but is there any way of disabling this feature?.
Cheers,
Ebsy

It seems that there is a special flag that can be set or cleared on the volume to control that behavior. There is an Apple developer article about it, with source code, that might help.
http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2005/qa1449.html
I have to believe that someone has packaged up that code into a utility that can be found.

Tabs open in new windows

i use firefox with multiple tabs open.it always opens tabs i click on in new windows every time.im not dragging anything and its super f'ing annoying.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== since the last update

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Tab opens in new window by itself

I have several tabs open that I switch between, one of them being Facebook, and that is the only one that ever gives me issues. Sometimes when switching between tabs, the Facebook tab pulls itself out of the group, and into it's own new window, and I have to put it back. Nothing is broken really, it's just damned annoying

Make sure that you do not drag a tab in the browser window. 
Firefox 3.5 versions and later have a feature called tear-off tabs. 
You can detach a tab from the current window and open it in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window. 
You can drag that tab back to the tab bar in the original window to undo that detaching.

Can't disable finder folders open in new window

In Finder Prefs I changed it to always open folders in new window. Later I decided to switch it back so I unchecked it. It still opens folders in a new window. Obviously, I've tried several times, restarted many times, etc. Suggestions?

Exactly. Since the OS stores all code that runs the machine in RAM, you need to restart any app that you make changes to for it to use the new settings. Since the Finder is always running (it operates the Desktop and other things), relaunching via the Dock option forces it to dump its code from RAM and repopulating it with the new settings.

I can't open links in new tabs, only in new windows.

I can't open any links in new tabs without holding the link and dragging it to the tag menu or opening a blank new tab and copying the link location and pasting it in the new tab.
ctrl+click which should open a new tab opens a new window.
Right click + Open Link in New Tab which should open a new tab open a new window.

Tabs only open in a new window. Ctl T opens a new window NOT a new tab help-last update this problem started. How do I set FF back to open tabs in 1 window

Tabs only open in a new window. Ctl T opens a new window NOT a new tab help-last update this problem started 2 days ago. How do I set FF back to open tabs in 1 window?
There is no plus sign and going into optins and changing settings has not worked. I have uninstall FF and reinstall-keeping my personalization-and that was no help.
Right clicking on FF Icon to open a new tab, or going up to FF drop down tab and clicking on new tab both do not work.
Help everything opens a new window not a new tab. there seems to be no way to reset this or to chose a different optin. I just downloaded new tabs at end addon and it didn't do a thing.

as a first troubleshooting step - does it work like normally when you open & run firefox in [[Safe Mode|safemode]] by pressing the shift key while you open firefox (all other instances have to be closed before)...

When opening a new window, it automatically loads last pop-up (?) content and I am unable to type in address bar or open a new tab in the new window.

I don't know if they're technically pop-up windows (for example, if you do a search on kayak.com, it will automatically open a new priceline.com window with the results of the search), but this happens with pop-up blocker on or off. Other examples are a small info window from a financial or .edu site that opens up saying a session is about to expire, or answering an FAQ (with the exception of the priceline example, these windows don't have an address bar or display a URL). Anyway, after these windows are closed, if I try to open a new window, it will automatically load the content of that "pop-up". Whenever it does this, I am unable to type in the address bar or open a new tab in that window.
How do I fix this? All I want is to open a new window that's blank, not load prior content.

It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is
there for. Also, check the programs that are on your computer
'''Windows > Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.'''
'''(Mac: Open the "Applications" folder)'''
Go thru the list and use a web search to check any that you don't
know what they are.

Finder opens a new window with tabs in the last closed window loaded automatically

As the title says, I've found this happens more than a few times for some change. Maybe every time, I didn't count. Say, I closed a window with 3 tabs opened, then next time when I click finder to open a new window, I will find the 3 tabs loaded in the new window automatically. I am wondering if it is a new feature or bug. If it is not right, would anyone give me some suggestion to correct, if possible? Thanks.

Yup. I think bring convenience or not is supposed to be the fundamental difference bugs and features.
Convenience also comes with users' habit. I am sure I will get used to the new way as time goes by.

When I open a new windows from my current tab background turns black. Can this be disabled?

I use Remedy and when I open a new windows from my current one my background turns black. This started when I moved to the new update. Is there anyway to disable this?

IE11 Opens blank tabs, must use new window

I'm running Windows 7 Pro SP1 with IE11 on my desktop. About two months ago I d/l'd all updates through the usual windows update and let them install. Shortly afterward I noticed that IE11 was no longer working correctly. I would click on a link and a new
tab would open but it was blank. I then tried it with open in new window and it would do nothing. Then I tried the usual disable add-ons and such with the same results. I then tried using the reset and it kept telling me that I had to close all open window
and programs. despite nothing open or running. Then I booted in safe mode and was able to successfully reset IE. I tried once again to use IE and the same thing continues to happen. IE11 has basically been rendered useless. I even tried going back to prior
versions like 10 and even 9 with the same results. Troubleshooting came up with nothing.
Can someone please help? I'm using Firefox as my default now and would like to go back to IE11.
Thanks
Michael
