Firefox restores (expands) all reduced windows from the Taskbar everytime I select "Open In A New Window" for a link.

Nightwolfx03 has asked this same question as question #822903, but with different wording. To maximize the matches for searches, I'm re-stating it.
When I right click on a link and select "Open Link In New Window" to display a new webpage, Firefox restores (expands) ALL the windows which have been minimized on my taskbar. Multiple windows cascade upwards onto my screen, taking several seconds and being incredibly annoying. HELP!

This issue can be caused by the ASK.com Toolbar
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> 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.

  • In Firefox 5, New Windows open in the same window even though the options are set to open in a new window.

    I have the options set to open new windows in a new tab. However, they do not.
    For example, as I click on the various options for support on Firefox.com, each opens in the same window. Similarly for Yahoo. If I bring up the news page and click on various links, they all open in the same window. How do you get them to open in new windows?

    Pure speculation, but maybe that Identity Finder program is deleting your browsing history which is how Firefox restores tabs and windows from the previous session. Check with technical support for that program or look at the manual.

  • Clicking on the Now Playing does not open in a new window

    When you click on the artwork in the Now Playing fieild in the lower left corner, a window should pop up that displays the artwork.  Mousing over it shows the controls.  When I click on it, it shows a new window is open on my taskbar, but it doesn't display on my desktop.  Does anyone have a solution to my problem.  I have iTunes 10.6.1.7

    The Template .dwt file is only used locally by DW itself, there's no reason to upload it to the server unless you intend to share it with someone. You have to upload each individual page that the Template updates, every time you update the template and propagate that change across the child pages.
    It would probably be better to use a server side include. That way, you could update one file then upload it and all of your pages would automatically carry that update...

  • When I click on firefox in taskbar, it does not open in a new window and shows previews.

    I have firefox 14 and windows 7. firefox is pinned to taskbar. When I click on the firefox icon in taskbar, I want it to open in a separate window and not show preview.

    Yes. Thank you. Tutorial solves half the problem. The firefox icon no longer shows previews but I am still unable to open a new window by clicking on it. I would like the icon to open a separate window every time I click on it. Instead, it opens only 1 window. Please help. Thank you.

  • HT201272 Hi, if I download all my songs from the purchased section on iTunes, will I have to repay for them all?

    Hi,
    Unfortunately I have lost about £350 worth of music on my iphone 4. I would like to download the music I have purchased onto my new phone.
    If I go to the Purchased section on  iTunes and hit Download all will I have to repay? Am not prepared to pay another £350 but obviously am desperate to get all my music back!! Would appreciate any advice

    Are you completely sure?? Im afraid to hit the download all button as last week I tried to redownload about 6 songs and was billed again for them!
    Thank you for replying so quickly
    Can you also tell me if I sync to my new phone, these songs will be transferred to my new phone?

  • 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 keep getting an error window about java since I updated to firefox 8, my tabs will flash, tabs will close and open in a new window, everything stops working, firefox is non responsive, please help

    Since I upgraded to firefox 8, I get this error window that pops up says something about java. My tabs flicker or flash, the tabs will close and open in a new window then everything stops. Then firefox does not respond. When I get this error message, I have to close all tabs wait a few seconds then open it back up it will work for a little while and then do the same thing. I have disabled plug-ins that I do not use, I have cleared my cache and cookies, I am not happy at all with this new version. I waited a while before updating. The first time I was going to update, firefox would not let me keep my anti-virus plug-in. PLEASE HELP

    Hello,
    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.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Open swf in new window from parent swf

    I'm making a gallery for some flash banners that I had
    created in AS3. When I click on a "launch" button, I wanted the
    flash banner swf to open in a new window separate from the parent
    swf (the gallery). I also wanted the parent swf to remain open.
    Is this possible and what would the code look like for
    something like this?

    ok, I should've also mentioned this, the flash gallery I'm
    making is not for the web, it's more for just opening in a flash
    player. So I don't really want it to open in a new browser window,
    but rather a new swf window, if there is such a thing.

  • I have a one group of tabs stuck in the taskbar, it won't open.

    I had 2 groups of tabs. One group opens & works, but the other is stuck in the taskbar. i can click it, or right click & then Restore, but the window containing that group of tabs won't open. The other group works fine. I have exited Firefox, then restarted Firefox (15.0.1) same thing, there in the taskbar, but won't open. Also restarted Window Vista, then Firefox to no avail. Any ideas?

    Well I'll be, I right clicked the group on the taskbar& then hit maximize, which worked. I've been using group tabs for awhile, never had to do that before.

  • Transaction launcher: open URL in new window

    Dear all,
    I know many threads have already been posted about "stateful URL" created with transaction launcher, that open a new browser window AND navigate to an empty screen with the following text (which is more than useless):
    "The requested page has been opened in a new window, please press back button to go back to the last page."
    Carsteen gave some useful hints already in the following thread:
    Transaction Launcher in a new window
    But maybe someone found something new since then... At the moment I'm thinking about "simulating" a clic on the BACK button (like mentioned in this useless message), with something like :
      DATA:
      history TYPE REF TO if_bsp_wd_history_manager_disp.
      history = view_manager->get_history_manager_display( ).
      history->go_back( ).
    Any better idea ?
    Thanks & regards,
    Nicolas Busson.

    Hi Nicolas !
    How are you? :-)
    I assume that since then you have found a way to fix your issue, but as the post is not answered I can tell you that SAP has taken into account this point in SAP 702 EHP1, with a new attribute in the customizing of the transaction launcher called "Keep Work area" :
    Keep Work Area When Opening Launch Transaction in New Window
    This indicator defines whether the work area content is kept when you open a launch transaction in a new window.
    Use
    If this indicator is not set and a launch transaction opens in a new window, then the main window loads the base page of the transaction launcher into the work area.
    If this indicator is set and a launch transaction opens in a new window, then the main window keeps its current content in the work area.
    Dependencies
    This indicator is only evaluated if you have also set the indicator for using a new window.

  • Open ion a new window doesn't work

    Firefox 3.6.3, Windows Vista 64 bit. When I "open in a new window", it does not happen, but apparently another instance of Firefox opens in the background. After closing Firefox, if I open the ask manager, I see another instance running which I have to kill before I can start Firefox again. I have also noticed that my video download helper no longer appears in the navigation bar, nor in the Tools menu, even though it says it does when I look at the add-on options. Not sure if this is related. I have completely removed Firefox and installed Firefox 3.6.3, and the problem remains.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I updated to, I think, 3.5

  • UWL - open item in new window

    Hi guys!
    If I click any UWL item I want it to be opened in new window and not in the main portal window. How to achieve this?
    Thanx for answer! Olian

    That is possible! Please check SAP documentation regarding UWL configuration - you can download it from service.sap.
    In the UWL XML configuration file (webflow) you can specify that the related item should be opened in a new window:
    <Actions>
            <Action name="launchSAPAction" userDecision="no" handler="SAPTransactionLauncher" returnToDetailViewAllowed="yes" launchInNewWindow="yes" launchNewWindowFeatures="resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no">
              <Properties>
                <Property name="GuiType" value="WebGUI"/>
                <Property name="newWindowFeatures" value="resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,directories=no"/>

  • Click on a new website and it opens in a new window?

    For some time now when I click a link to something from a different web page it opens in a new window.
    Or if I select the option "open new windows in a new tab instead" then any links to a different website open in a new tab.
    For example If I search for something in Google, then click any of the search results. The result opens in a new website.
    However If I click something else from the Google website e.g. "Shopping" Then this opens in the same page.
    The results is very irritating as I end up with hundreds of windows (or tabs) open.
    I suspect this is a setting rather than a bug as it is 100% of the time.
    Any ideas guys? I would love to go back to normal browsing

    its according to the website your viewing.
    Some website code is wriiten to open the link in same page/tab or new page/tab.
    if it opens more than one page per click, then check out for malware/thread.

  • Force iView to open in a new window when using NavigationTarget

    Scenario - Portal Version 6.0 - NW2004  SP16 - WAS 6.40
    A Custom iView is used to gain access to an application running outside of the portal.  The user's credentails to the target application are recorded in the portal's UME via user mapping.  
    I want a user to be able to click a hyperlink to this iView that has been embedded in an email, and have the user gain access to the target application by 'going via the portal'.  The url that I use is of the form:
    http //<my_portal_server>/irj/portal?NavigationTarget=navurl://49a8add355f836061e6279f389cdc72e&open=/page&id=100&proc=10067&flag=1
    This is working, the user is first taken to the portal's login page, and upon successful login to the SAP portal, user is then directed to the target iView, and is logged in automatically to the target application, and able to use the target application.
    >BUT EVEN though the iveiw is configured to open in a new window it does not. It always opens in the main content area, and it always opens in this area in a height of about 40 pixels.  The iView properties are set to FULLPAGE.
    >If I invoke this iView using the portal's standard built in navigation, it does open in a new window
    >It just won't open in a new window when using direct URL to the iView WHY?
    How can I get the target iView to open in a new window under all circumstances?
    Do I need to pass more information in the URL?
    Are there a standard list of URL parameters somewhere that influence the behaviour of the NavigationTarget?  I have seen reference to 'context', 'mode' etc but can't find a list of valid parameters?

  • I want to open folders in new windows on 10.9.4.

    This was always my default setting, but it seems to have disappeared.  Apple is ******** in changing essential workflows that people have been using for years.  There should be 2 options, open in new window, or not.  Give us back the option Apple.

    http://siggi.hk/index.php?action=TheLostFinderNewWindow
    This is a SIMBL plugin that will bring back the old behaviour of always opening folders in new windows, a feature that existed since the first Mac OS in 1984 all the way up to OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion before Apple stupidly removed it in OS X 10.9 Mavericks. This works a treat.
