Firefox opens a new page

When I click on the link mentioned (not every time) Firefox opens a new page (not a tab) that is blank from http://analics.google.come. When I view source it is a frameset with Display the only item.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://foxnews.com/videos

http://results.google-analytics.com/ is the correct url for the new page.

Firefox is set to open a new page when a link is selected, however it opens underneath/behind

Firefox is set to open a new page when a link is selected, however it opens underneath/behind the page containing the link. In other words I can't see the new page because it is beneath the one I'm looking at.
75% of the time this happens, 25% of the time it works as it should.

Do you mean that it is opening links in a new window? If you would rather have a new tab instead, you can set that in Options > Tabs. Some links are set up so that they will open in a new tab or window. I know of no way to make those open in the same tab, short of changing the code on the page.

I can't open a new page in my firefox window

If I want to open a new page in my firefox window, I click on the + button, but nothing happens.
Thanks for your help!

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.

Everytime I open a new page in firefox a you tube video keeps opening and playing, how do I stop this?

I had clicked on a you tube video accidentally and now, everytime I open a new page the video comes up. How can I make this stop?

Also, Firefox crashes frequently. Is there a fix for this also?

Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox 3.6 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
For the second issue, the [[Firefox crashes]] support article may help.

How do I change from AVG Secure Seach to Goggle as the default search enging bor the the search bar and when I open a new page?

When I load Firefox, the default search engine goes to AVG Search. I'd like to change it so that the default search engine on the search bar is Google. In addition, when I one a new page, the new page home page defaults to AVG Search. I'd like opening a new page to default to Google. My initial home page goes to the Wall Street Journal, which I want to keep, but want to change for the search bar and when a new page is opened to Google.

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'''''

Why does Fiefox require me to click allow when opening a new page?

When I try to open a new page, Firefox requires that I click the "allow" button below the toolbar in order to proceed. This is new (within the last few weeks).

This?
See: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences Firefox > Preferences] > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"

An unwanted bookmark window appears every time I open a new page

When I open a new page I very frequently get a window full of bookmark folders on the left of the screen. It takes up space and I have to close it over and over and over. I can't find a preference that will make it go away forever.

I upgraded to Firefox/3.6.3 on April 7, 2010. I am running OSX 5.8 on a G5 PowerPac Mac. This problem happens when I click on a link that opens a new window on my Mac. The new window then automatically opens with the history left bar open. It is not occurring when I simply open a new window myself.

How to open a new page from a Spry Table click, with element info?

Hello, Spry experts!
This is probably simple, but I've searched for hours and can't find what I need. I'm using Dreamweaver CS4 and Spry 1.6.1 to create a simple Spry Table from an XML data set using PHP as my back end. I've used Dreamweaver's Insert->Spry->Spry Data Set to create everything, and the table is working fine. Colors, clicks, sorts, etc., are all working correctly as expected.
What I want is to be able to add a behavior such that when a table row is clicked, I can open a new page. Moreover, I want to pass a parameter from the table to the new page, like http://www.mydomain.com/newpage.php?aid=12345 or whatever.
So, for example, my table has two columns, "a_id" and "a_name", and my repeat region looks like this:
<div spry:region="xml_assignments">
<table width="500">
<tr>
<th spry:sort="a_id" class="spry_header">ID</th>
<th spry:sort="a_name" class="spry_header">Assignment</th>
</tr>
<tr spry:repeat="xml_assignments" spry:setrow="xml_assignments" spry:odd="spry_odd" spry:even="spry_even" spry:hover="spry_hover" spry:select="spry_select">
<td>{a_id}</td>
<td>{a_name}</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
What I want is to be able to open an entirely new URL, passing the value of the {a_id} in the selected row as a parameter to the new URL, as in something like: http://www.mydomain.com/newpage.php?aid={a_id}
So my questions are:
1. How best to apply the action to the table? Add an onclick to the tr tag? Something else?
2. How to extract the {a_id} value from the current row and pass it as a parameter to the action?
Or maybe just take another approach entirely?
I know that I can make the actual text in the table cells hyperlinks, and use them to link to the new page, which is fine. The desire here is just to make it so that the user can click "anywhere" on the table row (as they can currently do with the spry:select behavior) and have the link kick off, whether they actually click on the linked text or somewhere in the row where there is no text.
I'm sure this is obvious and simple, but I'm new to this level of Spry detail, and my brain is fried from hunting. Any guidance will be gratefully appreciated!

I found the answer myself, after posting this, of course!
I changed:
<tr spry:repeat="xml_assignments" spry:setrow="xml_assignments" spry:odd="spry_odd" spry:even="spry_even" spry:hover="spry_hover" spry:select="spry_select">
to
<tr spry:repeat="xml_assignments" spry:setrow="xml_assignments" spry:odd="spry_odd" spry:even="spry_even" spry:hover="spry_hover" spry:select="spry_select" onclick="window.location.href='./newpage.php?aid={a_id}';">
Basically just added the onclick parameter...
And it all just worked!

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! :)

I have an iPad 2, and every time ii attempt to open a new page "about blank" appears. What can I do to get rid of this from my system baring in mind that I am not particularly computer literate. Many thanks

Is this in safari?
try going into settings, safari and clear history. You may also want to clear cookies (means you will need to sign back into sites)
It's possible that that page is a popup ad of some sort that can't run, for example a flash based ad. You may have picked the cookie up browsing the internet and now that it's in there the only way to get rid of it is to clear your history and cookies.
