Firefox randomly opens an existing page in a new window

I open Firefox with no problem - it opens all my existing tabs. When I choose a tab, and run the cursor over a page (no button pressed) Firefox will randomly (not always) open that page in a new window. VERY annoying!

The problem occurs with no clicking or dragging, but thanks ...

Why does Firefox sometimes open an existing tab in a new window?

I assume this happens because I click in the wrong place or the wrong way. If i knew how it happens I could try to avoid it.

Yes, this happens to me all the time too, but I can just be clicking on a link within a page when it happens; my mouse pointer isn't anywhere near the tabs...??

Open a bsp page in a new window?

Hi All,
I am creating a BSP application wherein i have a htmlb button for "help".
I want to open this help page in a new window, so that alongwith the help page the user can
view other pages also simultaneously.
Is there any way by which i can open this BSP page into a new window without loosing
the contents of the current page on which the help button is present.
A sample code for opening page in new window will be of great help.
Thanks in Advance for your help.

Hi,
Pls try the below logic :
<htmlb:button id = "help"
text = "Help"
design = "standard"
onClientClick = "window.open('http://www.sap.com')"
tooltip = "Help"
/>
This will work for you.

        FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
        // Create the dialog UIViewRoot
            ViewHandler viewHandler = context.getApplication().getViewHandler();
            UIViewRoot dialog = viewHandler.createView(context, "/access/ecamp.jsp");
            HashMap properties = new HashMap();
            //properties.put("width", new Integer(250));
            //properties.put("height", new Integer(150));
            AdfFacesContext afContext = AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
            afContext.launchDialog(dialog,
                                    null, // not launched from any component
                                    null, // no particular parameters
                                    true, //show in dialog
                                    properties);
        //return "goPohecamp";
        return null;
    }Like this is better to me

When I load firefox it opens my home page then a new tab. how can I stop the new tab

I just need firefox to open my homepage, not open a new tab

You can check the target line in the Firefox desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties) to make sure that nothing is appended after the path to the Firefox program.
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

When I CLICK on a link on a web page, firefox dos lot load the page in a new window. All other browsers load the page under the link. I do not have "Block poups enabled".

When I navigate to a web page that has a link, such as the link to a data sheet and click the link (usually an insert page), firefox does nothing.

Does the new window have a media player in it or use the Flash plugin for any other purposes? If so, it could be the protected mode bug described in this thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/955659 Opening New Windows and Shockwave Flash]. There are some workarounds listed there.
Let us know whether that helps.

Opening Default Topic page in a new window

Hi there,
I am new to RoboHelp HTML. I have recently started using it
for work and was asked to look into something.
I am using version 7.
The problem we have is that the RoboHelp html files are being
incorporated into a web application. There is a link in the
application called "User Guide". This link opens up the RoboHelp
html files in the same browser window as the application.
Therefore, when the user wishes to go back to the application or
close the help files, he/she can't because it's all in one window
and the application has session (so it wont let you go back to the
application if you are in the help).
I know it's possible to simply add a Target="_blank" to the
actual "User Guide" link on the application side - for it to open
the help files in a new browser window.
However, I wanted to know if there is any way to configure
the RoboHelp HTML to start the inital page - default topic in a new
window from the actual RoboHelp software.
Can someone shed some light on this please?
I hope my question is clear enough, like I said, I am new to
RoboHelp so my apologies if I haven't explained myself clearly
enough or used the right words.
Anyways, let me know.
Thanks!

Hi Estel-mm and welcome to our community
Your requirement cannot be met with simple use of RoboHelp
HTML. It will likely require hand crafting some special JavaScript
function to make it work. And here's the rub. Assuming you get it
to work, it may have an adverse effect in that if you configure the
default topic to open this way and your end user just happens to
land on that Default topic again, poof! Another new window.
Just a thought... Rick

Each time I click on a link, firefox opens up the page in a new window, how do I prevent this from happening, ie. view the page in the current window?

Until I installed an Adobe update, my firefox worked fine, I have had to restore my computer and restart firefox due to advertising which was installed along with the update. Now each time I click on a webpage, a new tab opens and I can no longer view the webpage in the current tab. As you can tell, I am not that computer savy, but I have tried to change all the settings in the options and nothing has worked. I hope this makes sense, please help as it's driving me mad having all of these tabs.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

I am currently using firefox 6.0 and whenever I select to open a existing tab in another new window, or attempt to drag a tab to another window firefox hangs and never responds. This used to work great, but now its worthless. Any ideas?

help !!

You do not have the properties in the Bookmarks Manager (Library), but you should have it if you right-click a bookmark the Bookmarks Toolbar or in the bookmarks sidebar.
On Mac you probably do not have it if you right-click an item in the Bookmarks menu (this menu is under control of the Mac OS), but I assume that this should work if you click the "Show your bookmarks" button on the Navigation Toolbar that is next to the star to bookmark the current tab and right-click an item in the bookmarks list that opens.

ForwardImmediately to open new page in a new window

Hi,
Is it possible to force the forwardImmediately method to open the specified page in a new window? Like the Target Frame = _blank on the Link item.
I am unable to use JavaScript to do this.
Can forwardImmediately be modified to do this or can I create a link item on my page and dynamically fire it from with the processRequest method of my controller?
Any help will be appreciated.
regards
DG

How can I set home page for a new tab? how can i get firefox to open the home page every time i open a new tab in Windows vista home basic??
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Firefox can have multiple home pages if you wish. Each home page that will open when starting Firefox is separated by the "|" character.
See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
To have new tabs open a specific web site, add one of the following extensions:
