Double tap to open new tabs in Safari using a trackpad

Hi
I've been using my trackpad to double tap next to open tabs in safari ie to create new tabs, over the last 2-3 days that feature has disappeared and it doesn't work any longer also if it does it may take as many as 5-10 taps to create a new tab.
I remember setting this feature up when i first got Lion, but i can't find the settings now. Any help appreciated.
Thank you & happy new year.

Hi,
Thanks, i've been through most of the settings as you've mentioned.
Anyway what it came down to was i'd recently set up a bluetooth mouse, that is what stopped the function of double tap next to an open tab in safari to open a new tab. Very strange indeed.
But alas i removed the mouse from setup fixed the problem, but thanks for your advice.

Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

Opening up tabs in safari using ISO 7

I have just downloaded iso7 on my ipad 2 and I can't see how to open new tabs in safari or create favorites.

Click the plus sign which opens a favorites page. Then you can tap on any of your bookmarks to go to that page.
To add to the bookmarks, tap on the box with the arrow coming out of it and the icon to bookmark that page.

Pop-Ups ALWAYS opening new tabs in Safari 8.0

I was recently helping my boyfriend and had downloaded "unsafe" downloads onto my MacBook Pro Mid 2012 on Safari 8.0 and directly after downloading these links there are continuous pop ups showing up that are opening new tabs and they usually pertain to what I am looking up. Such as when I was logging into Apple Support MacKeeper and other various websites for virus protecting programs pop up. Also my home page is changed to a different site (the name is something along the lines of "Only" and their home page looks JUST LIKE Googles). Pop ups are happening ALL the time and it's getting very frustrating. I downloaded MacKeeper awhile back but I believe I was successfully able to uninstall it. Even when I am clicking on a link on Google or I accidentally tap my mouse pad and it clicks on my current website a pop up opens a new tab. I have cleared my caches, history, and cookies. My firewall, firevault, and all other precautions are turned on. What can I do to fix this problem I am having? ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated!! Thank you in advance (:

Ok, here are my results. I hope I deleted all pertinent information.

I print coupons fairly often... ha but if i need to delete those plug ins I am willing to. What's next?
Oh ans by the way thank you so much for helping me!! I'm so grateful!! (:
PS. I let my boyfriend barrow my computer last night so he could restore his iphone but it looks like he tried to download a few things and was successful at downloading more plug ins for me... Not so great. I've been trying to get rid of genieo forever now aand he reinstalled it again. Looks like I'm the only one using this from now on!

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.

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?

Website opens new tabs in Safari for iOS7; popup blocker is on

How can I stop a website from spontaneously opening new tabs? I have the popup blocker on, but it doesn't prevent ads from popping up in new tabs on some websites.
Also, is there a way to stop banner ads from spontaneously opening the App Store?
Thanks!

1. Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data
2. Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple Logo
Note: Keep away from those web site

What is wrong with the ipad if i cant open new tabs in safari?

I just baught the ipad mini and i can not open more than one tab at a time. Even after i tap on 'openin another tab" nothing happens. Is there anything wrong with it or is it just a settings problem?

Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info
from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
Does the dialog show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section?
In the General section, is the box labeled Locked checked?
What is the Modified date?
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.

Firefox won't open new tabs when I click, also he doesn't open new tabs when I use CTRL+T. Any solutions?

When I want to open a new tab, firefox doesn't do it. The problem is the same when I use CTRL+T. So I can't open any new tabs.
Nothing seems to work: restart the pc, closing firefox,...

Uninstall the '''''Ask Toolbar'''''. It can cause that problem.

Double clicking to open new tab does not work anymore

Am I loosing my mind?
I have been opening tabs like this for years, now it is not working.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks
Laura

HI Laura,
Check Safari Preferences then select Tabs. Make sure your preferences haven't changed for that then select the General tab. Check your tabs prefs there also.
If nothing is amiss there, go to your Safari menu bar, click Safari / Empty Cache or Command + Option + E on your keyboard.
If that doesn't help, from the Safari menu bar click, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.
Also, if you have any Safari Extensions installed or Safari third party unsupported add-ons, that could be why you are having problems with your Tabs.
For troubleshooting third party add-ons, follow the instructions here. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3230?viewlocale=en_US
You can access Safari Extensions in the Safari / Preferences pane.

Double clicking or clicking anywhere in Safari opens new tab with Mackeeper and other unknown websites.

The solution provided in the other discussions are not working for me. The 'vsearch' solution given in other discussions doesnt work.
I dont know what I have downloaded but now whenever I type anything in safari or click or double click then a new tab opens with mackeeper link and other unknown websites.
Thanks in Advance.

You may have some other adware besides Downlite (aka VSearch). In addition, you may have a newer variant of Downlite, which is using a variety of new names after having the last two variants blocked by the anti-malware feature built into Mac OS X.
Your profile indicates you are running Mac OS X 10.6.7, in which case you will not be able to use dominic23's suggestion (AdwareMedic requires 10.7 or later). Apple's support document on removing adware may help, but you'll find a more complete list of adware in my Adware Removal Guide.
You may also have a variant of Downlite that is not described in any of these documents and that is not yet recognized by AdwareMedic. I believe that there is a new variant that uses a variety of different names based on unknown criteria, either defined by different installers or determined at install time by some characteristic of the machine that it is installed on. Look in the following folders:
/Library/LaunchAgents
/Library/LaunchDaemons
If you find a file named "com.xxx.agent.plist" (where the "xxx" part can be anything) in the first folder and files named "com.xxx.daemon.plist" and "com.xxx.helper.plist" in the second, please report back here for further advice.

When opening a new tab in Safari...

Is there a way to keep Safari from opening up my recent searches window every time I make a new tab in Safari?
I find it annoying that it always pops down And gets in the way of the bookmarks bar etc.

Clearing Safari's history : Settings > Safari > Clear History
Then close Safari completely and when you re-open it your search history should have gone (though focus will still default to the search box). To close Safari : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.

Safari setting on iPad "Open New Tabs in Background" is not working

A couple of weeks ago, I decided that I wanted to see the tab bar in Safari, on my iPad, just like on my MacBook.
So, I went to...
Settings >> Safari
...and I turned OFF the setting "Open New Tabs in Background".
Then, the tab bar appeared and every new page that I opened displayed across the tab bar in a new tab, just like I wanted.
Today, I devised that I liked the pages in the background a lot better and I changed the setting to ON.
PROBLEM: the Tab Bar remains, no matter how many pages are open.
What's worse is that, in the menu bar, next to the bookmark and box-arrow icon, the numbered icon is missing (the icon that displays the number of the pages that you have open).
How do I get that icon back and the Tab Bar to disappear?

Looks like some confusion here.
Safari on an iPad running iOS 6 as your signature implies does not open separate pages and the box with the number of open pages is not there. This was how Safari on an iPad worked in an earlier version of the iOS but safari presently only supports tabs.
When you select to turn on Open Pages in the Background, select a link and opening it in a new page will create a new tab and the link will load there BUT Safari on your iPad will remain on the original page. You'll need to tap the ba to see the new page. Turning off Open Pages in the Background will let Safari switch to the new tab immediately.
An iPhone, however, retains the old feature of separate windows and there is a box with a number at the bottom of the screen letting your know how many windows you have open.

Open Link In New Tab In Safari

From a PC World article, http://www.pcworld.com/article/166903/ , "Safari now uses tabbed browsing, like big boys do on the desktops, and this new hidden feature is great. If you tap and hold on a hyperlink (hyperlinked text) on a Web site within Safari, a dialog will prompt you to open this link, copy it (link locations) or open it in a new page (which opens a new tab in Safari)."
I get the same result whether I pick Open or Open in a New Page. Any one get this to work?

Works for me. If I press and hold a link I get three options.
1. Open
2. Open in New Page
3. Copy which copies the URL to the clipboard. (I love this!)
Not really a tab of course but it does open a separate page.

Hi, when setting Safari, what is the meaning of "Open New Tabs in Background"? Thank you.

Previously, whenever you wanted to open a new browser window in mobile Safari, or whenever you tapped a link from within another app, Safari created a new page.
But in IOS 5 things have changed, you now have 'open new tabs in background, a great feature.
On any browser window that you have selected in Safari or any linked windows, you open Safari on iPad/iTouch or iPhone you have tabbed browser windows and can go to any of the sites without having to open up a new safari window.
It saves you time.
