Firefox not opening new pages in new tabs

Just updated to FF 5.0 on OS 10.6.6. Got my pref set to open new pages/bookmarks in a new tab, but it just loads them into the current window.
I disabled all of my extensions (Download helper, web dev tools, Firebug, TinyURL generator, Yahoo mail notifier) and no dice.
Arg! What happened?
I appreciate any suggestions.

If you left-click a link then that link is always opened in a the current tab. 
You need to middle-click a link or use command+Left-click to open the link in a new tab. 
The setting in Firefox > Preferences > Tabs only makes it possible to divert links that specify a target window to open in a new tab instead.
You can look at these extensions:
*Open Bookmarks in New Tab: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/open-bookmarks-in-new-tab/
*Open Link in New Tab: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/open-link-in-new-tab/

How do I make Firefox not open the homepage in new windows?

Hi. I have a collection of 4 pages set to open every time I start Firefox. Whenever I need to open a new window, my 4 pages open again.
I would like to have those 4 pages open only the first time I start the browser, because I never close them. Obviously I don't need them open again.
How can I set it so that these 4 pages open the first time I start my browser, but only have a blank page open the next time I select "open new window."
Even more ideal would be to have the choice to open my homepages or a blank page (in case for some reason they do get closed).
Any solution that takes more than one extra step is one extra step too many. Otherwise, I'd simply just x out of three of my pages and change the URL of the 4th.
I'm not entirely technically minded, so if yours is a technical solution, I thank you in advance for clearly laying out the steps one-by one.
Cheers.

One possibility would be to change how you open a new window. You can create a bookmark for Firefox's '''about:blank''' page and then, to open it in a new window, shift+click the bookmark.
(To create it, right-click the Bookmarks Toolbar or Bookmarks Menu near where you want to add it and choose New Bookmark. Enter about:blank in the Location and any description you like in the Name, then click Add Bookmark.)
But that might be difficult to remember or inconvenient, so the next thought would be to bookmark your 4 home pages as a group in a single folder on your Bookmarks Toolbar or Bookmarks Menu, as you prefer. If you ''middle-click'' that folder with the mouse scroll wheel, Firefox will open all of its pages in separate tabs in the same window. Does that still count as 1 step?
(To create it, open a new window with your four tabs. Right-click any of the tabs and choose Bookmark All Tabs. This will create the new folder. Assuming it tests out, you can then change your Firefox home page to about:blank to display a blank page.)
Are we getting closer?

Safari, camino, firefox not opening web pages but IE does... any ideas why?

i just recently moved from the US to Bosnia. after finaly getting high speed internet, i'm finding that some web pages on my macbook pro open incredibly slow or not at all while those same web pages open just fine on my pc using internet explorer. i've tried using camino and firefox in addition to safari and all have the same problem on the mac.
does anybody have any ideas?????

well friend, thanks again for all your help. i found a lot of help on another thread if you're interested: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1195713&tstart=0
regardless, here's some things i did that seem to have helped for now... significantly speeding up my web browsing:
1. I changed from WPA/WPA 2 to just WPA 2 (this seemed to have helped the most)
2. I added two 'general' DNS addresses in my preferences/network settings (this also seemed to help):
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
3. under my preferences/network settings, I completely turned off Configure IPv6. (I don't know if this has helped but it was suggested and it doesn't seem to have hurt)
Unless I'm connected to a cisco client, I still have very slow to no browsing on the apple discussions pages but all other pages seem to be working now without cisco.
until next time.

Firefox not open new tabs

My Firefox not open news tabs on popups, and not show bars.
and can't move tabs on popups to main windows.
sorry my bad english

That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

When I click a link to open the page in new tab, it open the new page beside my page.

After I update FireFox to version 3.6.8, I could not open the new page in the last tab, it always opens the new page in beside the tab.
Mmm…I could not make sure the new page or new tab I said is the same with you…?? (I use Chinese version so that I don’t know if it’s the same or not…)
A window could open several pages with different tabs, and I could click different tab to different page, right?
If I right clicked a link to open the page to “new tab” in the same window, the new tab opened in the last tab of my window.
But after I update FireFox to version 3.6.8 and I click a link to open the page to “new tab” in the same windoe, the new tab will open beside my page. (Mmm…Open on right of my page.)
I would like the “new tab” open to the last tab in my window, not “beside” the tab I used. How could I change the setting??)
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== After I update FireFox to 3.6.8

That feature isn't new to 3.6.8, it was changed in 3.6.
Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter.
''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
Filter = '''browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent'''
Double-click that preference to change the value to '''''false'''''

Hyperlink + ctrl click opens the page in new tab in my website. it should open it in the same window of my website

When i do a ctrl+hyperlink click in my website running in firefox, it opens up in a new tab, I dont want the ctrl+hyperlink click to open in new tab or new window. It should open in the same browser. (works as required in IE 7)
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Ctrl+left click on a link or bookmark will open in a new tab. That is a standard Firefox keyboard shortcut. Middle-click will do the same (Middle-click = press the scroll wheel). On the following page, scroll down to "Web Navigation" or Find (Ctrl+F), enter "Ctrl+lef" (without quotation marks) in the Find box. Read the footnote 4 about how to change from background tab to foreground tab.
See: http://www.7is7.com/software/firefox/shortcuts.html
To open a link or bookmark in the currently active tab, simply click on the link or bookmark. Your current tab will be over-written with the new link or bookmark.
The following page shows the shortcuts for IE7. Click "Working with tabs". It shows Ctrl+click will "Open links in a new tab in the background" and on the next line, it shows CTRL+SHIFT+click will "Open links in a new tab in the foreground".
See: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Internet-Explorer-keyboard-shortcuts#

How do I configure Firefox to open multiple pages on startup and not set my homepage to open mutliple tabs?

So I know how to set my homepage to open multiple tabs, however it has the undesired effect of making it so those tabs are opened every time I hit the homepage button. Is there a way to set Firefox to open multiple pages on start-up, while not actually setting the homepage to open multiple tabs?

You can edit a copy of the Firefox desktop shortcut and add the links to the target field to make Firefox open those pages when you use this shortcut.
See:
*https://developer.mozilla.org/Command_Line_Options
If you run out of space (i.e. exceed the maximum length) then use a CMD file with the start command.

Hello SavannahSweetie,
I was looking into the issue you are desribing, and found a great article for troubleshooting wifi connections with iOS devices. It's called iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections and can be found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398.
Start with this section, and work your way down if needed.
Basic troubleshooting
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and then on again.
Verify that you are in range of your Wi-Fi router or base station.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and Cable/DSL modem are connected to power and turned on.
Check whether other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware.For AirPort Base Stations, refer to this article for information about firmware updates. For third-party Wi-Fi routers, check the manufacturer's website for details on updating your firmware.
Restart your iOS deviceHold the On/Off button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the On/Off button to turn it back on.
All the best,
Sterling

Dear the new update iOS 7.0.4 is not opening some pages in safari. Tray to find out what's the problem. Thanks

There are billions of web pages. Any clue as to which ones are not opening?

Firefox freezes when I load new pages into new tabs. This started a few weeks ago after I downloaded the latest update to firefox, currently running 7.0.1

After installing the latest update to Firefox a couple of weeks ago, loading new pages into new tabs takes a very very long time IF the page loads at all. I usually have to close the original tab to get the new tabs to load their pages. Sometimes I have to close all Firefox windows and start over to get the page I want to load.
This only started after downloading and installing this new update. I had no problem with new pages/tabs with previous versions.
I have rebooted, run full scans with Spyware Doctor, Malwarebytes and McAfee without solving the problem.

Look the SOLUTION CHOSEN:

BSP code to open new page in new window after button click

Hi expert,
I have a requirement to write a BSP code to open new page in new window after button click. I have done the same for opening in same window but not for opening in new window.
Can you please help me out with the code in which the page opens in new window and the menubar & Addressbar is displayed in hide mode.

Hi,
To add more with Anubhav...
onClientClick = "javascript:window.open( 'pop.htm' ) "
You can create a pop.htm page, and call the same in another page using the above code.
Refer standard BSP examples, SBSPEXT_HTMLB, SBSPEXT_PHTMLB, SBSPEXT_XHTMLB. You can run the default.htm pages and see what way you want to design your BSP.
Thanks,
Sreekanth

Creating new page with new parent tab

Does this happen to anyone else? When I try to create a new page that will have a new parent tab and standard tab in a 2-level tab setup, it never seems to work right. I end up having to dele the new parent tab and standard tab I created while creating the new page. Then once the page is created, I go into Shared Components -> Tabs, and create a new Parent Tab and assign it to this new page. Seems like a crazy way to have to do it.
I know this sounds crazy and it is hard to explain the issue, but anyone who has had this problem with creating a new page with new 2-level tabs will understand what I am talking about.
Can anyone point me to an explanation on how this should be done? I know I must be missing something.
Thanks,
John

I've recently had to muck around with the 2 level tabs aswell. There are some things making this rather difficult indeed.
What i'd do when creating a new page you want to have under a new tab, but also with a new parent tab, is to create it with only a new STANDARD tab. Don't create a new parent tabset. All parent tabs are in the same tabset, and if you create a new tabset you'll effectively see only this new parent tab + tab on the page you created.
So unless you want the page to be on an absolutely new set of tabs, you'll probably just want the page to be on a new top-level tab with under that a new standard tab. Like so:
<NEW PARENT> | parent 1 | parent 3 | parent 4
<NEW TAB> |
To achiece this, you'll need a new standard tab set. You can create this when creating the page. The standard tab set is the set used for you lower level tabs, so obviously we do need a new one.
As for the parent set which you can choose upon page creation, choose the already existing parent tab set. This set contains all your already existing parent tabs, and you wish to add one for display.
When you finish creating the page and run it, you'll see that the standard (lower level) tab is there, and is set to active, but your parent tab is not there.
Go to Shared Components > Tabs. Select the "Manage Tabs" tab there. You can notice your new set there, but notice the striped outline of it. This tab has no parent tab for it! And this is the problem with tab creation in 2-level tabs: you can make a new STANDARD tab and tabset, and define a parent tab set OR create a NEW tab set with tab. Both options fail us: what we want is a NEW parent tab in an existing parent tab set!
So to fix our problem, from the manage tabs tab click on "Manage Parent Tabs", found on the right hand side of the screen in the region "Parent Tab Tasks".
This'll bring you to a magical new tab within the tab components. It's a mystery to me why it has to be hidden like this, and makes it a real pain to use. On this page you can manage your parent tabs (the only place to do so actually...). Here you'll see there is no parent tab for your page (again), but here you can create a new parent tab from the right hand menu "Parent Tab Tasks" > "Create New Parent Tab". Enter a label, and choose your existing parent tab set as parent tab set. Don't create a new set. As for target, refer to your new page again.
However, we are not done yet. You are returned to the "Parent Tab Management" page. You new parent tab will be shown there, but when you run your page, the parent tab will not be set active yet.
To fix that, go back to the "Parent Tab Management". Select your parent tab so you go to it's details. Firstly, give it a new sequence number, otherwise it'll be shared with one (the parent tabs are created with sequence nr 10, so most probably on a shared position with your first parent tab).
Then turn your eyes on the "Current on Standard TabSet" list item. It'll have an option selected, but take a good look: it'll be the same name as your parent tab. From the options, select your new Standard tab set (the lower level set) which holds your new page. Then apply your changes and run your page: both your parent and standard tab will be there and highlighted. Yay!
