Firefox Refreshes the Window whenever a New Window is Opened or Closed

When I have one window running, and I open a new window of firefox or close another window, it refreshes the other window that is running.
It's really frustrating because if I am playing a video or game in one window, and go to open or close another window to browse, it refreshes the page and restarts the video or whatever I'm running.
It's only been doing this the last couple of days, it never did it before, so I don't know what changed.
Anyone know what I can change so that the other windows just stay as they are?

Jeeze, know one knows how to fix this? :(

Using firefox 14.0.1. Loading a link using right-click and "Open Link In New Window", results in new window opening but address bar does not show URL..

Using firefox 14.0.1. Loading a link using right-click and "Open Link In New Window", results in new window opening but address bar does not show URL. However, if I right click on a link and select "Open Link In New Tab", the Tab shows URL in address bar. So it's working when it's a New Tab but not a New Window.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Has Ffx 8 restored the option to use new windows only instead of any Tabs whatsoever; don't like them - don't want them?

Has Firefox 8 restored the option to choose new windows instead of Tabs? I mean that I should be able to remove all references to Tabs from ALL menus so that I don't accidentally open one of those "things".

Many people love Tabs. They should have them. Many of us don't. We should be able to get rid of them. I thought Firefox was about customization. You know, Burger King and all that. ;)

I don't know what I downloaded that caused the problem, but now when I try to make a new folder on the desktop of my new Windows 7 computer, I have only the following choices: Shortcut, Bitmap Image, Contact, Microsoft Word Document, Journal Document, Microsoft Powerpoint Presentation, Text Document, Microsoft Excel Worksheet, and Briefcase. No new folder choice. Anyone have any ideas how I can correct the problem?

How do i get the components when a new window opens from the main window?

In a given application, i am able to get the list of components for the main window. When an event happens in the main window, now a new window opens here how do i get the components for this newly opened window?

getContentPane().getComponents() can be used, only if i know that new class name thats been poped up when the event happens to that main window....
Is there anyway in runtime to know that new class name & fetch the event...

I click a link but it doesn't open. Instead I get a popup saying "Open the link in a new window," "Open link in a new tab," etc. How can I kill this popup or whatever it is forever?

I click a link but it doesn’t open. Instead I get a popup saying “Open the link in a new window,” “Open link in a new tab,” etc. How can I kill this popup or whatever it is forever?

That happens if the server sends the file as text/plain.
You can see this if you open "Tools > Page Info > General": Content-Type: text/plain
Files send this way will always open in a tab.

When I'm on a page with many links it used to highlight or underline the link I was looking at ... so when it opened the link in a new window, I could look back and not lose my place

It sounds like you have chosen a publishing template rather than a word processing template. There are two basic modes in MS Word: word processing and publishing layout. Word processing mode (and all word processing templates) have a continuous text box in the page for writing text. The publishing layout mode (and publishing templates) are documents that have text boxes placed for articles, titles, pictures, etc. Be sure to choose the word document template and you’ll get what you expect. Do not choose the word publishing document.

Opening the OAF page in New Window on the responsibility list page

Hi Gurus,
I have a requirement where in I need to open the page on a new window.
I have created the page,and attached the function to the menu,and attached the menu to a responsibility.
When a user clicks on the responsibility it shows a list of fuctions available with the appropriate prompt.
My recquirement is to open the page in a new window when a user clicks a function on the responsibility page.
Is it possible to do so?If yes how?If not any document supporting this limitation.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

Srikanth

Hi Srikanth,
This is not possible. However you can open the second page in the flow in a new window by setting Target Frame property to _blank.

Why, when right click on some link the options "OpenLink in New Tab" and "Open Link in New Window" are exchanged?

Why, when right click on some link the options "OpenLink in New Tab" and "Open Link in New Window" are exchanged?

Dear friend, the problem is that there is exchange of something very useful from users an this break them habits! I'm not interested of forced using of tools! Of course it's good that there is a tool to solve my problem, but this action make me unhappy.
last words - this is the way of losing users.

Is it possible to open the Task Form in new window?

Hi,
For the Oracle Business Process Workspace (BPM 11g), when opening a work item, is it possible to configure out the Workspace to open the Task Form in new window instead of opening in the bottom section under the work item list?
Thanks

"your project folder in workspace"\webRoot\webResources
under the above path, you will have img folder and place the image containing your custom logo.
under the same path you will have src folder
in that folder you can place your custom css file (eg. mycustomstyles.css) and you need to define your styles in this file
you can call the style items for the presentation objects at design time for labels and all other objects. But do not forget to refer your custom css file in the properties section.
Once you open the bpm presentation object in which you want to apply your css, in properties pane you observe four options in CSS sub section of properties. Here select the CSS file with webroot path and give appropriate styles to each presentation data objects.
hope this is clear to you.

Is it possible to controll the positioning of a new window when someone clicks one of my links

I was wondering if it was possible to control the positoning of a new window that pops up when someone clicks one of my site document links on my dreamweaver site. When a link is clicked and the new window pops up, I'd like to control the window size and positioning of the new window. Is this possible without having to use a tooltip or other option?

Some browsers will display pop-up windows in the parent window, some will open them in a new tab or new window. I'm afraid there is nothing you can do about end user settings.

Whenever a new window (or even Firefox program windows like Add-ons, Bookmarks, Settings, etc) is opened, Firefox freezes for 30+ seconds before opening it.

I have reset Firefox, then reinstalled, removed all of the extensions and plugins, uninstalled and reinstalled Flashplayer, updated Java, etc. I have also created new profiles, which have the same problem.
The problem does not appear in Safe Mode, which is odd because I have disabled all of the built-in extensions and have run the program in regular mode, and the problem still occurs. Right now I am using no extensions, no plugins, and no themes, and Firefox still freezes for a short period of time whenever I try to open a new window.
This problem does not happen in IE or Chrome. I have not installed any programs recently; the problem started happening randomly.

Hi,
[https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode] also disables the themes ('''Appearance''') in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons'''. and hardware acceleration - the manual setting is '''Tools''' > '''Options''' > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Advanced%20panel?as=u Advanced] > '''General''' > '''Use hardware acceleration when available'''. All these settings/options/add-ons can also be individually or collectively disabled/enabled/changed in Firefox normal mode to check if a theme, or hardware acceleration is causing issues. Disabling/enabling hardware acceleration, and some types of add-ons in normal mode may require a Firefox restart - a quick way to restart Firefox is to press [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/GCLI '''Shift''' + '''F2'''], type '''restart''' and '''Enter'''.

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.

After opening Firefox, how do I stop every new window I open from having old tabs?

Whenever I start Firefox, it opens a window with tabs I used from a previous session, which is what I want since I set it on Tools > Options > When Firefox starts. However, whenever I open new windows after I have opened Firefox, it always opens four tabs along with my homepage. I tried deleting the four tabs from history then opening a new window again, but it still opens five tabs in the new window. This started around last week. And I don't think I did anything different. I was just surfing the net as usual.

Check the home page setting.
