Firefox does not open links in new tab

Using Firefox 3.6.15 with XPPro, if I click on a link in Google (or on this site for that matter), it will not open a new tab. In the past, I had no such problem before 3..6.16.
My husband is using Firefox 3.6.15 with XPHome and his does open links in new tab.
I have not added any new toolbars sin updating to 3.6.15. Only use the Roboform toobar and Firefox's.
I thought this might have something to do with Google, which I think used to have an option to open links in a new page, but can't find any such options on Google search page now.

Maybe it is a conflict between Vimperator and a TabMix-like extension?
I am not sure but go check your tab related perfs and add-on options may help.

  • Firefox 5.0 does not open link into new window

    Firefox 5.0 does not open link into new tab. I have a netbook also and tab options work fine, links open into a new window. However on this Dell it does not work. Tab options in Firefox and Google are set right, but don't work that way. Running Windows 7 on Dell, Windows Starter on netbook.

    The Template .dwt file is only used locally by DW itself, there's no reason to upload it to the server unless you intend to share it with someone. You have to upload each individual page that the Template updates, every time you update the template and propagate that change across the child pages.
    It would probably be better to use a server side include. That way, you could update one file then upload it and all of your pages would automatically carry that update...

  • Firefox does not open links inside of Google Mail, but Internet Explorer Does

    Firefox does not open links inside of Google Mail - any email, but Internet Explorer does.

    Hello John.
    You may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

  • Firefox does not open links with a new window or tab for certain web sites, e.g. Santander On line banking, help links.

    When accessing some sites where they have links for additional information that would normally open a new window or tab, Firefox does not open either. This happens on a variety of sites, most recently the Santander on-line banking site.
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://

    Such JavaScript links should show the image in the same tab, so make sure that you left click such links.

  • Will not open link in new tabs, some of my add ons are not working properly

    I am using Firefox 3.6.6
    My add ons, such as Gmail Notifier and Forecast Fox are not showing up on the bottom, but they are all enabled and updated. Also, when right click and select Open Link in New Tab, it opens an Untitled tab.

    The current version of Greasemonkey is compatible with Firefox 29. Could you check to make sure it is not turned off? There should be a "monkey" icon on the toolbar. Clicking that icon turns Greasemonkey on and off; the "off" state is designated by a faded icon, while the "on" state has a full-colored icon.
    More generally, could you check for possible extension updates and disable unimportant extensions in case one of those conflicts with Firefox?
    Open the Add-ons page using either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, look for the "gear" button above the list and choose Check for Updates.
    I also suggest disabling any extensions you won't be using for the next 24 hours so that you can test whether that improves Firefox's functioning.
    Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Any difference?
    One possible reason for hangs, especially where you eventually get a dialog indicating that a script is running slowly, is Flash. To minimize sites from using Flash unnecessarily, try setting Flash to Click-to-Play ("Ask to Activate"). This will delay Flash from starting on a page until you approve it.
    On the Add-ons page, in the left column, click Plugins. Look for "Shockwave Flash" and change "Always Activate" to "Ask to Activate".
    When you visit a site that wants to use the Flash, you should see a notification icon in the address bar and one of the following: a link in a black rectangle in the page or an infobar sliding down between the toolbar area and the page.
    Any noticeable difference?

  • Firefox does not open links from third party applications correctly

    Hello,
    I have problem with my Firefox Developer Edition. The browser does not open links correctly. If I click on some link e.g. in Thunderbird Firefox open only blank (default) window. No target of given link. Has anyone an idea how to solve this issue?
    Thank you

    Have a look and see if SPDY is enabled. Enter about:config in the address window and spdy in the search window. If "network.http.spdy.enabled" is true, double click on the entry to disable it.

  • I use "firefox -new-tab anyPage.html" but it does not open it in new tab. Instead it replaces the last active tab.

    Well I use following command to view offline pages using firefox on my linux box
    $ firefox -new-tab anyPage.html
    But instead of opening it in new tab, it replaces the last active tab.
    I have tired
    $ firefox -new-tab anyPage.html &
    $ firefox -remote "openurl(anyPage.html,NEW_TAB)"
    But none works.
    Sometimes it do open in new tab but mostly it does not. I have been unable to figure out any pattern.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    (''Note: cross posted from [https://support.mozilla.com/nl/questions/801471 here].'')
    I had the same problem, but was able to fix it somewhat.
    # Open the about:config page.
    # Set the ''browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction'' setting to 0 (= zero).
    On my machine this will open new windows in a new tab. However, it switches to the new tab regardless of the setting ''"When I open a link in new tab, switch to it immediatly"''.

  • Home page set to folder does not open links in multiple tabs. Only opens one and only partially.

    Hi there,
    In 'Tools / Options' my Home page set to a folder but does not open multiple links in tabs. It only opens the first link and only partially opens the page.
    The 4 pages I am trying to open are:
    http://www.live365.com/index.live
    http://www.facebook.com/login.php
    http://login.live.com/login.srf?wa=wsignin1.0&rpsnv=10&ct=1193340789&rver=4.5.2130.0&wp=MBI&wreply=http:%2F%2Fmail.live.com%2Fdefault.aspx&id=64855
    http://webmail.123-reg.co.uk/index.php

    Hi this did not work either.
    Also when I tried to log into this forum the browser just kept taking back to the login page. There were no errors, it was as if it was stuck in a loop. The page refreshed but moved no where. My user name and password were there but nothing happened. It took a reboot to allow access.
    This seems to be something I have noticed. When a page reopens on start up or from a link it will not load the page properly causing errors.
    Also on a similar note the new Firefox is not remembering passwords. Specifically to hotmail.
    Cheers,
    Ash.

  • Middle click not opening link in new tab. Windows 7 Firefox 17.0.1

    Middle click suddenly stopped opening new tabs when links are clicked on. I was running 16, but updated to 17 (latest) to try to fix the problem. I am using a Logitech mouse and keyboard. Worked until this week.
    I really need this working again.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> 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).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • Firefox does not open links from google

    I am using Firefox 12 on a Mac. I am not able to open links from Google, e.g. google maps, google groups. Also google maps does not show up on other websites. Safari does this all.
    I have disabled all add-ons and went into the safe mode of Firefox. No improvement. I can't open google maps or google groups. Apart from this, other webpages don't cause a problem.
    What is going on?

    Have a look and see if SPDY is enabled. Enter about:config in the address window and spdy in the search window. If "network.http.spdy.enabled" is true, double click on the entry to disable it.

  • Firefox Will not open a link in a new tab after I right click and then click on open link in new tab

    When I right click A bunch of new options pop up and firfox will not open links in new tabs. Safe mode did nothing.

    What do you mean with ''A bunch of new options pop up"''?
    Can you open a new tab by clicking the plus button on the Tab bar?
    Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test.

  • Hai i am using firefox 3.6.When right clicking on a link and a window opens up, i want it to ask me "Open Link in New tab" first, not second.

    hai i am using firefox 3.6.When right clicking on a link and a window opens up, i want it to ask me "Open Link in New tab" first, not second.

    First, you are using a version of Firefox that is very old and outdated. Please update to at least Firefox 3.6.27, or more preferably, update to Firefox 10.0.2. There are lots of bug fixes, security improvements, and much improved performance in Firefox 10.
    After you do that, try seeing if you are still having a problem. If you are, is this that when you try to select "Open in a new tab" it opens in a new window instead? Or something else?

  • Firefox 22 /Open link in new tab not working

    Just loaded FF22. Sometimes I have a slow connection speed and I need FF to open links in a new tab, so pages do not have to reload.
    On the earlier version.
    Say I went to www.google.com and clicked on search link, It would open in a new tab (without right clicking link, and specifying to "Open link in new tab" It would do this on all links automaticly.
    Am I missing something here. Do I need to go into about.config to set this. Or go back to an earlier version of FF.

    Here's my solution to the problem of making links always open in a new tab. This only applies to Mac OSX tho.
    Get [http://blog.boastr.net/downloads-secondbar-bettertouchtool-2/ Better Touch Tool]. (This program creates keyboard and mouse/trackpad gesture shortcuts and it's free/donation BTW)
    I set up several shortcuts in Better Touch Tool, but the relevant one here would be "Middleclick" which by default opens a link into a new tab. The gesture I set to do this happens to be three finger tap.
    These are my configured gestures/shortcuts:
    four finger swipe down -> sleep display
    three finger tap -> middleclick
    three finger double tap -> command-h (minimizes all open windows in the current program)
    four finger double tap -> Application Switcher
    I also enabled Windows Snapping (which mimics Windows windows snapping) and Windows Moving/Resizing (which the way I have configured it means, if I mouse over a window, then hold the Shift and fn buttons, the window will move around without having to hold the mouse/trackpad button, and if I hold just the fn key, the window will resize).
