Feature Petition - Undock Tabs to a New Window

As far as I know safari does not currently have this functionality:
Can we please have the ability to open a current tab in a new window?
Here is the situation. You're working in your one window, with two tabs. Suddenly you realize you have to type in an address that is shown on one tab, into a form on the other tab. You can't cut and paste as it's a web form. So you have to keep going back and forth, looking at one tab, then typing in the other. OR for any other reason you want to take what's in one tab, and put it into a new window. I personally have a multiple-monitor (3) setup for productivity, and I run into this issue multiple times a day.
So lets here it guys. Up this post if this is a feature you'd like to see implemented into safari. If this is against forum policy, I'm sorry, please submit this in the suggestion box at cupertino. Thanks

The correct place to put this would be Apple's feedback page:

Firefox sporadically moves my current tab to a new window.

About 2-3 times per week, I'll be browsing with multiple tabs open, and Firefox will suddenly "close" my current tab and re-open it in a new window. I say "close" because the tab is not listed under "Recently Closed Tabs." Rather, Firefox seems to just move the tab to a new window.
I thought maybe there was a keyboard shortcut for this that I was accidentally hitting, but I can't find what the shortcut for that would be. Did I just miss it?
The site I'm visiting doesn't seem to matter, as it's happened with different sites, including my webmail service, Google, and Facebook. The number of tabs open doesn't seem to matter either, as it's happened with 50+ tabs and just now happened with 24 tabs (which is low for me).

A few times a week

Firefox 3.5/6 versions 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 I open dock folders in tabs instead of new windows?

Hey, guys!
I'm using OX 10.9 and in Finder Preferences I have "open folders in new tab instead of new window" box checked. However, when I click on "open in FInder" in a folder I have in my Dock, such as Dwonloads or Documents, it pops up in a new Finder window. In other words, I'm looking for the TotalFinder behaviour without using the app. Any help?
Thank you all!

Hi, John, welcome to Apple's user-to-user discussion forums.
Does anyone here know of a way to open new windows without using command click in a tab?
If you want links on a web page to open in a new tab, you need to command-click on them. This will work both for links set up to open in the same window and those set up to open in a new window. There is no setting in Preferences to make links on a web page automatically open in a new tab.
There is a preference setting to open links from other programs, such as Mail, in a new tab. In Safari's Preferences, click on the General icon. Towards the bottom where it says "Open links from applications", check "in a new tab in the current window".

Hello,
''jstavene wrote:''
can find nothing under the tools menu for private browsing?
Then it's not the same issue.
If Firefox is set to '''Never remember history''', then you're in “permanent private browsing” mode, in which case the menu item ''Stop Private Browsing'' will be grayed out. Perhaps that's the case, and you don't find the menu item easy to see?
* [[Settings for privacy, browsing history and do-not-track]]
If that's not the case, then menu items can be hidden using the userChrome.css file. Check if it exists, and if it's there, rename it, then restart Firefox.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css
In Firefox Nightly (what will become Firefox 20), per-window private browsing has been added, so the menu item under the Tools menu is gone. It's been replaced by New Private Window under the File menu. I don't suppose it's very likely that you're using such a cutting-edge test version of Firefox though.
If that doesn't solve the problem, since it's a different issue, it would be best if you would ask a new question.

Worst update ever! On my Vista everything is wrong! Back button never active; If I want open pages as new tab it opens new window; FF starts with blank page instead of Google; No url address shown on status bar when I move mouse arrow on the link etc

Worst update ever! On my Vista everything is wrong! Back button never active; If I want open pages as new tab it opens new window; FF starts with blank page instead of Google; No url address shown on status bar when I move mouse arrow on the link etc.. Please Help!

Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ 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. 
''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.

FF4 wont move a tab to a new window. The new window opens fine but the existing tab stays on the current window. What's wrong?

I just upgraded to firefox 4. I'm using session manager extension.
I have multiple tabs open in my firefox window and I want to move some tabs to a new window. I followed the support guide which tells how to do this, however, when I drag the tab off the current window, the new window gets opened as it should, but the tab I was trying to move stays in the current window and does not get moved to the new one. Any ideas what the problem is?
Thanks
Mick

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

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();

Is there a way to move a group of tabs to a new window? I know how to move one tab to a new window, but is there a way to mark a group of tabs and move them to a new window?

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.

Safari New Tabs vs. New Window

when i use safari on any computer weather it be a Mac or a PC, Safari doesn't allow me to click on a link and it open in a new tab. I know that you can go into preferences/general tab, and at the bottom select open links in new tab or window. I've done that. Just the other day, on my friends "BRAND NEW" Mac Book, I tested it out the same way. When you click a link in any page Safari will only open it in a new window.. Why does it not open in new tabs? The only way I can get a new tab is by Ctrl T/Command T... or by using the display menu... Also, FYI, I do have the latest version of Safari and I did try it after I downloaded the Latest Upgrade.. I think this problem is everywhere and its because Apple has not found out about it..

There is a downfall to the terminal-entry hack/mod... it forces everything into a new tab. Pop-up from a Web-App? get's it's own tab, not the small window the app was trying to open. Using an online video app which usually pops up a small window with the video? Now it gets it's own tab... :/
It's annoying to not have links open to Tabs but also the 'hard coding' to force everything into a tab has it's drawbacks too.
I agree: Apple should just have this feature. Even IE has had it for quite some time... although not set by Default when it first rolled-out. And of course Firefox has it.
<rant>
Side-comment: Love Apple stuff to no end after being a Windows admin for over 13 years... but wow sometimes it seems like Apple completely misses the basics. Like this crazy thing my original Palm Pilot in 1995 had... cut-and-paste... good thing the iPhone... just ... got... that. :/ And why can't I cut-and-paste a file? :/ And then of course why doesnt Safari let me open new links in Tabs?
</rant>
Any way to find a happy medium where Safari opens a link in a new window unless the link specifies the dimensions of the window to open and/or specifies a separate window?

15.0.1 upgrade if you move a tab to a new window the tab disappears (& you can't move it back) plus if you open a new tab it overwrites the first

When you drag a tab off one window in firefox to start a new window, this new window appreas without a 'proper' tab - that means there's no way to drag the tab back if you want to re-merge it with the original window. It also means that when you click on the + in the new window to create a second tab, it just overwrites the original tab (and URL) so you lose it completely. FF used to do this all fine befor the last upgraged

Any luck with disabling some new window features?

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.

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

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 Window from "FILE- NEW-WINDOW" duplicates all the currently open tabs in the new window. I want new window with just the "Home" tab please?

Running Firefox 3.6.13 on 64Bit Win7.
I like to group tabs on a topic in a window, and when the tabs get to be too many, or a new topic, I do FILE->NEW-WINDOW and expect a new window with just one default (Home) tab. Instead I get a new window with ALL the tabs of the first window.
I have checked all the Options I could find. Nothing helped. I CAN make a new Window with just one tab if I right-click a link and say "Open in NEW Window".

A new window should only open with the home page(s). 
If you see differently then you need to check your extensions.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
