Firefox prevents opening a new window - I want it to open them.

When I click on a link in my gmail, it opens a new tab with this message and have to choose "allow". I want it to just open the link in a new tab.
"Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page. [Allow]"

See:
*Firefox > Options/Preferences > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
The setting in "Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.

I cannot open a new browser window by double clicking Firefox icon or selecting NEW WINDOW from the file menu.

I can open only 1 browser window and I can't open another or multiple windows by double clicking Firefox icon or selecting NEW WINDOW from the file menu.
Looking forward to your earliest reply.
Thanks and regards,

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

How to stop the email in mozilla firefox opening in a new window( I want it to open in a new tab)

in the toolbar when I press the email button, my email opens in a new window, when I want my mail to open in a new tab. Please can you help????

I don't think Firefox has a built-in email button. Do you have an add-on that created that button, or do you mean a button pinned to the Windows Taskbar?
If it's an add-on, check whether it has an settings available for window vs. tab. If this doesn't appear with the button itself (for example, using a drop-down triangle next to the button) you can check the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then check the list for the relevant extension and try its Options... button.

I have two monitors on my Mac. Running FF3.6.16 new windows now want to open on the wrong monitor. How do I get FF to open on the main display?

I have an eMac with a second display. I am running OS X 10.4.11 (Tiger) and Firefox 3.6.16. Everything was working fine until the other day I opened a second window in Firefox and dragged it to my secnd monitor. I later closed it. Since then all New Window requests, including when starting Firefox always open on the second monitor. How do I tell Firefox I want my main monitor has the primary monitor?

It has nothing to do with the Mac, but more with the software exporting the displays on the PC. A typical VNC server will generally only export the primary monitor.
What PC software are you using to export the display(s), and what Mac software are you using to view the PC displays? That may help someone come up with a workable solution for you (or not ).

It is necessary for me to have more than one window open in Firefox, and the command (New Window) no longer works. How do I have two different websites open at the same time on separate displays?

I used to be able to open two Firefox windows at a time, with one website on one display and another website on another display. Now when I select New Window, nothing happens.

You can tear off a tab (right-click: Move to New Window) to open it in another window and resize both windows so you see them at the same time.

When I open firefox 4 or a new window I get an error message "components.classes[cid] is undefined" how do I fix this

I upgraded to firefox 4 and now whenever I open the browser or a new window in the browser I get an error message that reads "Components.classes[cid] is undefined. How do I fix this message. I have reinstalled firefox 4 three times and still get the message. I am running windows 7 pro

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions 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.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

When I ask for a new window I get five new windows, I want that to stop

when I go to firefox and I go to file and ask for a New window I get FIVE new windows!! This is driving me nuts! Also, when I initially open firefox it opens with five windows and Yahoo is all over the place! Make it stop! any suggestions.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.

Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).

How to close instance of Firefox launched via File/New Window without killing all Firefox instances?

Prior to the latest Firefox update, running on Ubuntu if it makes a difference, I was able to select Close from the File menu (and if memory serves also by clicking the x on the last tab) to exit an instance of Firefox opened via File New Window.
With the 9.x update this no longer seems to be possible. If I choose file quite from an instance that was launched via New Window all Firefox instances go away!
This is annoying as I have to leave any instances that were launched.
I tried the Close Last Tab add on, and it lets me close the content of the last tab but still leaves the instance running with a blank tab.
Is there a configuration setting somewhere that I have missed to restore the previous mode of operation for exiting additional instances of Firefox without killing all of them?
Thanks,
Burt

Each window should have its own Close button (big X in the right hand corner.)
But this is dependent on the "Theme" you are using in Ubuntu. This big X chould be a Round Dot when you hover over the color changes. It could be on the Left site instead of the right.
This [http://cdn.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/screen-shot-2012-01-11-at-15.52.36.jpg Screenshot] Shows the Close button the Left Side, still an X though.
CTRL+SHIFT+W will close the Active window.
CTRL+W will close the Active Tab.

How can I set pdfs to open in a new tab instead of prompting firefox to open them in Adobe itself?

I use a website with many links to pdfs. In Windows XP (probably an older version of firefox) I could right click on the link to open a new tab, and the pdf would open in the new tab. In Windows 7 (and updated firefox) when I right click to open a new tab, a new blank tab opens and Adobe starts up displaying the document in a new Adobe window. How can I change the settings to have pdfs open within the new tab (without opening Adobe)?

Tools -> Options -> Applications Tab
Under Content Type find Adobe
Under Action, Left click and select "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)"
That should do it!

When I click on links in my emails, I want firefox to open them, but nothing happens, how do i get it to do this.

Google chrome installed itself on my computer by mistake, and started opening up when I clicked links in my emails. So I uninstalled G.Chrome. But now when I click on the links in emails, NOTHING happens. How can I get Firefox to again open up those links when I click on them.

I have been having the same problem. Links work in Outlook for both Chrome and IE but not Firefox. I have tried a number of things including restarting my computer, editing the registry etc. Oddly, when I edited the registry, the links did work for a while but then I proceeded to get the same error as before.

Scrolling through tabs in Firefox without opening them

With many tabs open we get two arrows on top of the screen to scroll left and right through tabs by clicking with the mouse. Please see the attached image for an example.
Is there a keyboard shortcut for those arrows or is it possible to add one?
Note: I am aware that we can scroll through tabs directly with Alt+[Num], or by using Ctrl+PgUp and Ctrl+PgDown. I have dozens of tabs open, so if I want to go to tab 35 I can't use Alt+[Num], and using Ctrl+PgDn is a problem if I'm say in tab 65. The reason is that with Ctrl+PgDn the tabs from 65 back to 35 would all open while I'm passing through them.

Image wasn't attached properly and I can't seem to edit the question. Here it is.

Can't open PDF docs in Firefox; can open them in safari.

Online with bank for old statement. Required update of acrobat. Did it. Tried again - message mandatory update required came up. Selected download and message came up - update failed. Tried several times. Went to Safari and could downloaded all PDF docs. What have I managed to do now?

update ur flash player and try it again.

Even though set to open to home page, Firefox always opens in a new tab and to the previous tabs. All settings seem correct. I just want it to open in a new window to my home page

I cannot open Firefox in a clean new window to the home page. Options are set to open to home page and open new window in new tab is deselected. I do not want my history coming up every time I open. All new pages come up in a new tab with the existing one staying put.

This happens when I have multiple windows open. I have one window minimized on the task bar. I then launch a new firefox window and start surfing, opening multiple tabs in that window. Then I close that window. (My original window is still minimized in the taskbar). Now, I launch a new firefox window and the tabs that I had opened in the window I had just closed are all back.
If I close all windows and then launch firefox, it goes to my home page.
FYI, I'm running Windows 7 64-bit.

Links to files doesn't open in a new window

I've noticed that links (that refers to a specific file) created in Adobe Indesign doesn't open in a new window like the links that refers to a website when I autoconverts it in Acrobat Pro X.
Example:
LINK1: http://www.acrobat.com/testfile.pdf <--- does not open in a new window when clicked
LINK2: http://www.acrobat.com/testfolder <--- opens in a new window when clicked
Are there any way to fix this?
Will the same problem occur if I create the links in Acrobat instead?
I'm asking this because I don't want the form to disappear when the links are clicked.
Best,
Mikey

Firefox should divert the new window to a new tab when you check this box in Google's Search Settings:
"Open search results in a new browser window"
I can't think of any reason for Firefox to divert a new window back into ''the same tab''.
In case one of your add-ons is the culprit, could you try Firefox's Safe Mode?
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, restart Firefox using Help>Restart with Add-ons Disabled. Don't check any of the boxes in the [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode] dialog, just Continue in Safe Mode.
Does it make any difference?

Firefox prevents opening a new window - I want it to open them.
