Everytime I click on a link, instead of loading it on the same page it opens a new tab.

Suddenly every time I click on a link, it opens it in a new tab i.e.; if I search yahoo from my home page, it opens yahoo in a new tab, then when I click on yahoo mail, it opens yahoo mail in a new tab, and then when I sign in, it opens yet another new tab, etc etc. I must have pressed something, but I don't know how to undo it.

Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

  • New page opens each time I click on a link instead of staying imbedded on the current page

    Each time I click on a link or delve further into a sight, instead of staying within that sight Firefox opens an entirely new page. At the end of just a few minutes of browsing, the page indicator along the bottom of my screen has dozens of open pages. I can't hit the 'back' button to go back in a sight because Firefox has already opened a new page instead.
    What is up with this and how do I get it to stop?

    Hi,
    Please check if this happens in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode.] If possible please also try to rule out hardware / mouse settings issues.

  • When I click on any link in different site "example: facebook n emails etc" nothing opens in new tab its just blank page?

    when i am on anysite and they have links to different pages so when i click on link to open it just opens blank page nothing comes so recently i been copying link locations and the paste it on url and press go but i cant keep on doing it.

    Go to Tools->Options->Apps
    Here you should see two columns: Content Type on the left, Actions on the right.
    Find and select excel spreadsheet or any other content type in the left column. There should be a corresponding action in the right column. What is it? You can use the drop-down list to select the option you want:
    Always Ask - Firefox will ask each time: What do you want to do with this file?
    Save file - Firefox will save this file to your computer
    Use - Firefox will give this file to the program to open it
    In case of saving, Firefox will either prompt you every time where you want the file to be saved, or save it to the default location. It depends on the preference in
    Tools->Options->General->Download

  • When I open a link in a website it opens as a new window instead of just staying on the same page

    In any website, when I click on a link it opens in a new window.this even occurs in google when I click any of the results it opens in a new window instead of just staying on the same page.tabs work fine however, it is just links on websites.

    Did you check the search settings on the Google Search Settings page?
    * http://www.google.com/preferences?hl=en
    ''Where results open: Open search results in a new browser window.''
    You can set the browser.link.open_newwindow pref to 1 to open links by default in the current tab.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow (3)
    You can set this pref to 0 (zero) to do this for all widows opened via JavaScript.

  • I cannot open a new tab using the + or Ctrl T or from the file menu. The only way to open a new tab is to click a link. How do I fix this?

    The only way to open a new tab is to click a link like in an email, or right click to tell it to open a new tab. When I click the + or Ctrl T nothing happens.

    Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.
    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

  • How can I create a link to a pdf file and show it in the same webpage or in a new tab

    It is no problem to create a link. But the formats are limited and  - unbelievable -  the pdf format is not supported??!
    Where are the parameter (_blank or _self) to show it for example in the same webpage or in a new tab??!

    PDF is media.  It is not a web document.  Your end users must have plug-ins and helper apps installed on their device to see PDFs in browsers.  Depending on their settings, the PDF file may or may not launch in the browser window.  On my system, PDF files download and launch inside Acrobat Professional; not my browser.
    The safest approach is to provide a screenshot on your page with a direct link to the PDF file so people can handle it as they wish.  See example:  http://www.adobe.com/manufacturing/3dpdfsamples/3dsolutions/

    The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.

  • Firefox is not letting me open another tab when I click the 'new tab' button. It says 'done' in the corner, but never opens a new tab.

    Firefox is not letting me open another tab when I click the button or the 'new tab' in file. I have restarted my computer, installed an update, and I still have the same problem browsing.

    In past threads, this problem has been linked with the Ask toolbar.

  • Can you create an image map that will link to a different element on the same page?

    I have used image maps before and know how to create an image map to link to a new page.  In this case, however, I want to be able to click on my image using an image map and load a new image with text on the same page as the image map.  Is this even possible?  Is there some sort of behavior that allows you to create same-page links, perhaps using AP divs?  I want the end result to be a type of gallery that loads different images depending on where you click on the main image.
    Again, I don't even know if this is possible.  Any suggestions on how to make this work would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!

    Go to this site and mouse over the image map of South America.

    Is that what you are looking for?
    Insofar as linking to a position on the same page, do a Help search (F1) in DW for "named anchors."

  • Column link to  populate a form on the same page

    Hello all,
    Can anyone tell me how I can use a report column link -- that when the link is clicked will populate all of the text fields of my form which is on the SAME page? The form has about 10 fields, and their is only (3) Name/Value associations for a column link.
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Great! Thanks for the advice. It appears that when you do that, it changes the column link attributes to a URL and puts the name/values in the URL -- when I first clicked on the link, it would not work -- said that it could not find item P6_FAX. I looked at the URL and then I deleted some of the spaces after the commas in the URL and it works great.
    Thanks!

  • Right-click contextual menu in Firefox 4: Is there a way to move/remove "Open in new tab?"

    I don't really like tabbed browsing, but "Open in new tab" is the first choice in the right-click contextual menu. I would like to have "Open in new window" be the first choice.
    So is there a way to edit the contextual menu to change the order of menu items or delete them entirely?
    Thanks in advance.

    This UI change is really stupid and useless. People got used to some specified menu items order. Changing this order could only annoy and anger.
    Also the reload button has been relocated. This is another example of stupid Firefox 4 UI change. The good news is that it could easily be relocated to its original place.
    It looks like the Firefox developers are suffering from idleness and boredom.
    CHANGE IT BACK ASAP!!!

  • Having trouble trying to link to an accordion panel on the same page

    Hello all,
    I've been following instructions on
    http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/accordion/AccordionSample.html#EnablingKey boardNavigation
    to try to link to/open a specific panel in an accordion panel from a menu on the same page, but it's not working. Could somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong? My page-in-progress is:
    http://fleap.com/YGRpage2011.html#
    The menu on the right, under the word, "Details", is the one I'm trying to link to the accordion panel, and the panel itself is lower down the page.
    thanks very much for any help you can give me!
    Anna

    1. Remove the constructor in the HEAD section of your document
    var acc1 = new Spry.Widget.Accordion("SpryAccordion1", { useFixedPanelHeights: false });
    2. Change the HTML markup to the following
    <ul>
      <li><a href="#" onclick="Accordion1.openPanel(0); return false;"> how <span class="title">You've Got Rhythm</span> works</a></li>
      <li><a href="#" onclick="Accordion1.openPanel(1); return false;">sample pages</a></li>
      <li><a href="#" onclick="Accordion1.openPanel(2); return false;">reviews</a></li>
      <li><a href="#" onclick="Accordion1.openPanel(3); return false;">syllabus</a></li>

  • I have loaded firefox 4, and every time I open a new tab the curser ends up in the navigation area instead of the search box - very frustrating. It didn't used to happen.

    cursor in search bar not in main page. Causes irritation when I start typing before I realis.
    Problem not experienced in Firefox 3 (now running 4)

    If you want a specific webpage (like the Google page) to always open when you open a New Tab, you can use the following add-on to Open New Tabs with your Favorite Pages:
    -> NewTabURL 2.2.3
    * https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
    * NewTabURL will not work until you set the page that you want to open in the Options for it.
    * click Add-ons > Extensions, click Options next to NewTabURL.
    Check and tell if its working.
    Not related to your problem but do the following:
    -> Update Firefox to the latest version 10
    * [[Installing Firefox on Windows]]
    -> Update All your Firefox Plugins -> https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
    * '''When Downloading Plugins Update setup files, Remove Checkmark from Downloading other Optional Softwares with your Plugins (e.g. Toolbars, McAfee, Google Chrome, etc.)'''

  • Html Portlet links displaying in another portlet on the same page

    I have seen similar posts but no detailed explaination of how this is done.
    I have an html portlet with links whose content I would like to display in an inline rendering portlet on the same portal page. How can I pass the link url from the html portlet to the inline rendering portlet?
    Thanks,
    Robyn

    If your environment is fairly static, you can handle this easily.
    The link in your HTML portlet must refer to the page URL of the portal page on which the HTML portlet resides (which changes from portal page to portal page), to which you need to append the parameter that your "inline" portlet (under which I'm not sure what you mean) reads:
    <a href="http://<portal_page_url>&my_param=value">click here</a>Is this close to what you're willing to do?

  • Whenever I click a link on a page that opens a new tab I get a bar at the top of my screen that asks me to 'Allow' this. How do I turn this off?

    tgfssdgsdfg

    Could you check whether you've blocked redirects? That is one of the kinds of changes that can generate that bar.
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the "General" mini-tab, check the first section, and ''uncheck'' the box for "Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page"
    Any change?
