Firefox closes after I click on a link to open a new window

I had to reinstall Window 7, and of course, Firefox and Thunderbird. Now Firefox closes after I click on a link to open a new window. For example, if I'm in Thunderbird, and i click on a link in an email, Firefox gives me a message like "Firefox is already open, but must close before opening a new window."

Is there more than one installation of Firefox listed in the Programs installed?

    I'm running Firefox 3.6.13 and if I click on a link to open a new window nothing shows up - i.e. if I click on 'enlarge' on an Ebay auction photo a new window opens but it's blank inside.
    Any ideas please? I've tried uninstalling and re-installing, and downloading and installing Flash but no joy.

  • Ever since I downloaded the new Firefox, when I right-click on a link to open it in a different tab, the tab will open but will not load anything, no matter what link I try.

    Ever since I downloaded the new Firefox, when I right-click on a link to open it in a different tab, the tab will open but will not load anything, no matter what link I try. The tab will show the website destination in the navigation bar, but will not automatically load it; I have to press the load button in the navigation bar instead of it instantly loading.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == The newest version, 3.6.6, of Firefox was downloaded

    It's not specific sites. I can middle-click on the same link 50 times and it will open it in a new tab 45 times and 5 of those times, it will randomly open it in an entirely new window. I don't know what's causing this.
    It happens so randomly that I don't know how to pin-point what it could be.

    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 12.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

    A few times a week

    Firefox is shutting down windows I want to remain open. Example: I am done viewing one window. I click the X to shut the window and it shuts two windows. Every single time, attempt to close one windows, two windows close. Lately, I have been opening several windows with nothing but google search, just so it will shut that window and not something else I want to remain open. I could understand this if I was using tabs, but I am not. This has been going on for over two weeks. I don't like going back to history to open a window, I did not want closed in the first place. Isn't that what 'Windows' is all about? Any ideas?

  • Clicking on a link to open a new page or tab gives me a blank page.

    If I click on a link to open a new page or a new tab, the page that opens is always blank and no address is in the address bar. Also, occasionally, my refresh button is "grayed" out so I can't hit that either. I think this is some sort of security setting blocking it. Can anyone help.

    Thanks Jason, I had the same problem and did exactly the steps above. Problem solved! You rock! :)

  • Clicking any tab or portal link it opens a new window

    Hello,
    We are using SAP EP7 and when we click any portal tab or link it opens a new window instead of opening it in the same one.
    What can we do to open tabs and links in the same window?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Yes, it looks like a problem with WPM (WorkProtect Mode).
    Have a look at this SAP NOTE : 734861. Incase of of iViews, if any data that you entered needs to be saved, then as per the configuration a new window opens up whenever you click any link. This allows you to continue working with the old window, save the data and thereby avoid loss of data. This configuration can be tuned to make it user friendly.
    Also have a look at this thread : New window opens on every EP page click for *some* users
    Hope this helps.
    PS: Consider rewarding points for helpful answers and for answer that helps you solve your problem.

  • How to Set Individual Managed Metadata Navigation Links to Open in New Window?

    I am using a managed metadata term set for the global navigation in my client's site. Most of the global navigation links point to pages in the current site, and should open in the current browser window/tab as the end user is just navigating within the
    site content. However, I have one particular node in the navigation term set that points to related content scattered around other external sites. The client wants these links to open a new window.
    Unfortunately, I can't seem to set the target for navigation links in the term set. If I was using standard global navigation, I'd be able to select the "Open in new window" checkbox when setting up the link, but that option doesn't appear to be
    supported via MMD navigation.
    Any clever suggestions?
    Thanks!

    I had a similarish requirement at a client once upon a time, they wanted any links that went outside of the intranet web applications to open in a new window.
    The way we managed that was to use jQuery to overwrite the standard hyperlink references for any hrefs that didn't point to internal sites to use the same javascript functions that SharePoint used for links configured to open in a new window. It worked out
    as being about half a dozen lines; check the URL and if it doesn't begin with a set range of options then overwrite the on click behaviour using standard jQuery behaviour.
    If you want it site wide then you just add jQuery and the code snippet to the master page, if you just want it in some places then add a CEWP or a HTML form web part to the relevant pages.

  • First link always opens a new window

    I'm using Tomcat 3.2.3 and I have been unable to determine why the first link always opens a new window. From that point on, each hyperlink displays the page in the same window, as they should.
    For example, my index.jsp page has a hyper link to the logon.jsp page. The logon.jsp page always comes up in a new window - even though the achor <a> tag is not setting any 'target'. It also doesn't matter if the first page is index.htm
    I don't know if this is relevant, but Tomcat is running inside of Apache using the mod_jserv module. (at least I think it is.. I'm not sure how to tell... I followed the instructions at the Tomcat site and everything seems to load fine)
    Thanks for any help....
    E-

    try by explicitly setting the target of the form to the same window.
    I think it should work.

  • When I right click on a link to open in new tab and move my cursor into the dialog box the box dissapears this is new in the last 24 hours.

    I'm using Firefox 8.0 on Suse 11.4 today is 11/28/11 the past 24 hours I've been experiencing this: I always try to right click on links and open in new tab, lately when I do so and move the cursor into the dialog box the box disappears. Also if I online shop say for clothing, if I want to change size's when I click the button to do so nothing happens when I want to scroll down and pick a different size, (I can hi-light the size and click on it then when the window scrolls back up the default size is still there. This isn't consistent with all web sites.

    You can middle-click a link to open the link in a new tab.

  • Outlook 2010 on Exchange 2007 ~ Can no longer see Calendar in Folder List ~ Only viewable by right-clicking favorite icon and selecting 'Open in New Window'

    Office 2010, Windows 7 64 bit, BB sync, everything has been fine since forever. All of a sudden between Saturday and today, *poof* I can't get the calendar view.
    I have tried the switches, /resetfolder and all the rest, repair install Office, etc., no go.
    I can log into my OWA view and calendar shows up there, but on the local system, when you clicl on Calendar, it shows My Calendars at the top, but there is no calendar. The only way to view it is to right click Calendar and choose 'Open in New Window'.
    All my data is there, can add to it and all, but it is missing from the folder list, thereby making it very difficult to use.
    I also created a new profile, connected to Exchange ONLY and it still will only show the calendar if you select 'Open in New Window Only'. I can post a screen shot if this allows.
    Thanks in advance.
    Brian

     
    Hi ,
    I suggest you refer to the following steps to recreate the Calendar folder.
    1. Switch Outlook to Online mode.
    2. Start MFCMAPI and create a backup of the Calendar items
    a. Open the Calendar folder by double clicking it.
    b. Select all items (simple ctrl+a).
    c. Copy all items into an empty folder.
    d. Additionally you can create a backup using a PST file if you wish.
    3. Delete the Calendar folder using MFCMAPI.
    4. Close Outlook.
    5.Recreate Windows Profile and Outlook Profile.
    6. Start Outlook with “/resetfolders” switch, this will recreate the default Calendar folder.
    7. Try to set permissions on the Calendar folder to see how it works with a fresh and empty folder.
    8. Copy/Move the items back into the Calendar.
    By the way, I don’t understand “the local system” what you said, it can view My calendars at top in Outlook or OWA ?
    And it can’t view calendar list or the calendar content under My Calendar?

  • Problem with opening new tabs, when I right-click on a link and open in new tab it doesn't automatically load up like firefox 3.6 always did. Is there anyway to fix this?

    for example there's a link a friend sent me in my e-mail and I right-click on it, and select "Open in a new tab" it pops open like normal, except it does not load the page, I have to click the box and press enter to even get it to load it. In previous versions I have never had that problem, current version of Mozilla Firefox I am using is version 4, previous was 3.6 hope this helps figure this out.
