Firefox v29 opens links in same window

Since installing version 29, I have found two seemingly related issues:
1) I find that links open in the same window as the source, instead of a new window.
For example, I get a notification of a newsletter every day in my Yahoo mail account. Prior to v29, when I clicked on the link in the email message to go to the newsletter, it would open in a NEW window (my preference).
With version 29, it opens in the SAME window (and replaces the window where I had Yahoo mail open).
2) Similarly, I do a lot of work where links will be listed in an Excel spreadsheet. Previously, every time I clicked one, it would open a new window. If I clicked on 6, I would have 6 open windows. Now, each link I click REPLACES the last one I opened.
Both of these issues are highly annoying and slow me down.
Is there a setting where I can change this behavior?

I found that after Firefox v29, a LOT of my settings and 
add-ons were changed / reset. Try this;
'''''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]'''''
 While you are in safe mode; 
'''''Firefox Options > Advanced > General'''''. 
Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''. 
Then check ALL of your settings. Browser and add-ons. Then restart.

Open links in same window, not new

Help greatly appreciated!
My links open in a new window, but I need them to open in the
same window.
What do I need to add to my code so that this happens.
Here is my code-
stop();
var arrLinks:Array = new Array();
arrLinks[1] = '
http://www.diesel-ebooks.com/cgi-bin/category/FIC027141/category.cgi';
arrLinks[2] = '
http://www.diesel-ebooks.com/cgi-bin/category/FIC027139/Harlequin-Historical.html';
arrLinks[3] = '

arrLinks[4] = '
http://www.diesel-ebooks.com/cgi-bin/category/FIC027136/Silhouette-Nocturne.html';
arrLinks[5] = '
http://www.diesel-ebooks.com/cgi-bin/category/FIC027121/Harlequin-Intrigue.html';
arrLinks[6] = '
http://www.diesel-ebooks.com/cgi-bin/category/FIC027123/Harlequin-Blaze.html';
var pc = 0;
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
pc =
Math.floor((_root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal())*100);
if (pc == 100 && !isNAN(pc)) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
_root.play();
The project this code refers to is here-

Thank you so much in advance.

Where is your getURL action?
have you tried _parent or _self as it's target?

Open link in same window

Hi there,
Does anyone know how to make the URL open in the same window. I am using flash CS3, Is there anyone who can edit the script below to allow this. The instance name is Button6
var getnextpage5:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("http://www.yokubou.co.uk/digitalart.html");
Button6.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,b5Click) ;
function b5Click(event:MouseEvent):void{
navigateToURL(getnextpage5);
Thanks
JR

It should open in the same window by default, but if you want to force it, you pass "_self" to the navigateToUrl function:
var getnextpage5:URLRequest = new URLRequest ("http://www.yokubou.co.uk/digitalart.html");
Button6.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,b5Click) ;
function b5Click(event:MouseEvent):void{
navigateToURL(getnextpage5,"_self");

How do i get firefox to open with the same window size every time, even if the last instance I had open had a different window size because I resized it??

My firefox opens new windows with a size that equals the current window I have open, or if I have no window open, the last window I closed. I would like to have it open windows the same size every time, regardless of what size the current window is, or what size the last window I closed was. I cannot find a setting or addin to do this anywhere. I have resizer which lets me change the size, but it is annoying that I can't have a default size for windows being opened. I open windows in new windows, not tabs.

Open link/bookmark in new tab in same window:
*Middle-click (press the mouse scroll wheel) the link
*Ctrl+left click the link
*right-click the link, choose "Open Link in New Tab"
Open link/bookmark in new window:
* Shift+Enter on the link
* Shift+left click on the link

How to open links in same window, another tab (by default)?

I think the users have been asking this question for more than two years. Is there a way to open links in the same tab automatically? Its annoying when I am using apple products and have to click three times for a task that is easily made with a single click in other products (chrome, firefox....).

Hi ...
Not in the same tab but a new one yes. Command + click
Check the Safari Extensions gallery...
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Safari - Extensions.
Try the Productivity category.

Dreamweaver open link in same window (basic)

Hey,
I have a verry basic question.
So im creating a page with File->New->2 column left sidebar fixed.
And now i want to have "Link one" link to a new page, and that new page has to be shown on the right side. so that the left bar is still there.
How do i do this ?
Thanks for any help!

Right. Copy/paste the code from source of example and place it into the code window of Dreamweaver. No typing required.
I understand where you're coming from though... You just want to click some buttons and have Dreamweaver do it all for you. Sorry to break it to you, but sooner or later if you want to use Dreamweaver you're gonna have to get your hands dirty in some code. DW is not a do-it-all for everything, although in this case there there is possibly an interface-only method of creating the feature using spry regions. Knowledge and/or the willingness to work with code in Dreamweaver is an unspoken requisite of using the software. It not only helps when reverse-engineering examples that are provided to you it will also allow you to have more knowledge and control over your designs.

Evolution opens link in current window not in window Firefox is running in

Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS, Gnome 3.12.2 due to lockups of system I removed the Ubuntu version of Firefox and installed 33.1.1 from the Mozilla site. Since then whenever I click on a link in a message Firefox will open in the same window Evolution is in not in the window Firefox is currently running in. Not only that but it will open to my homepage not to the link that has been clicked on.

Try redoing your link and, this time, deselect the link on the page and look at the inspector window to see if anything has changed. Then check the 'make hyperlinks active box". Your linked page should open in the browser when you click the link on the iWeb page.
If this is OK do a "publish all to .Mac" and empty your browser cache before visiting your site.

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.

Force firefox to open links in a new window

How can I force firefox to open a link in a new window? Right now it opens the link in the same window, no matter how I configure the settings. Frustrating.
Thanks

Firefox does not have a built-in setting to open all links in a new window. Normally, you would need to hold down the Shift key when clicking the link (Shift+click) or use right-click > Open Link in New Window.
You may be able to find an add-on that adds this feature. I know there are various add-ons to open links in a ''new tab'', but I don't know about a new window.
If the problem is particular to Google search results, there is a setting in Google itself to switch the links from same window to new window. That can be found on the search preferences page:
https://www.google.com/preferences#nwc
This preference is saved in a cookie, so if you clear cookies often, then you would need to revisit that page often.

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.

The link open in the same window - Label based menu

Hi All,
I'm using Xcelsius 2008. I add a Selector Component "Selector complonenet > Label based menu". I setup 6 Lable and each one link to a URL. When clicking the label on the generated SWF report, the link opened in a new window.
So i'd like to know if the link can open in the same window (not pop-up a window and open in it)?I tried to setup it in properties, but it seems there is no way to do this.
Could I get your guide how to do that? Thank you so much.

Hello
I would like to know one thing before answring the question how did you link with an url with the label based menu.
Did you used the opendocument syntax or what did you used.
Another method is why donf you use the URL button and map according to your requirement. place the url button on the menu item and change the properties to tranperancy to 0%.
Thanks

Forcing "Open cross-document links in same window" to be unchecked

Hi All,
I am distributing a PDF document set where there is one PDF with well over a hundred links to other PDFs which are located in sub-folders.
The set will be distributed on USB thumb drives.
It will be simplest for users if they have "Open cross-document links in same window" unchecked.
Is there a way I can "force" it to be unchecked?
During a test, someone got a security warning: "This document is trying to access abcd.pdf" Allow/Block. Why are they getting that message when there is no Internet request?
Thanks very much for all thoughts and wisdom,
David

It works in an older version 6.0
Anyone know how to get this to work in the newer versions?

I would like firefox to open links in windows live mail.

I want Firefox to open links I click on in windows live mail 2011 instead of internet explorer

This happened to me when I installed 4.0 BETA. I un-installed BETA as I didn't like it. I then used 3.6 but the links opened with Internet Explorer. I re-installed 3.6 and it's now working fine so I would suggest re-installing whatever version you have.

Open Link in New Window is not working...

When I right click on a link and select '''Open Link in New Window''', a new window opens but there is nothing on it.
The same thing happens when I right click on a Tab and select '''Move to New Window'''.
Right click and select '''Open Link in New Tab''' works just fine.

This began to happen to me when I tried to run two separate profiles simultaneously on the same installation of firefox with -no-remote

I want to eliminate or control popup windows that have no relevance and start with "open link in new window" . How do I control or eliminate. It is a nuisance.

When I am searching the web and click on an item, I get a pop up window that contains 6 choices beginning with "open link in new window". Most of the time this a nuisance and I want to get rid of it, but it follows me all over the page and keeps popping up when I click on the same item again. If I don't want to use it, how can I make sure it doesn't reappear?
Also, another question. Firefox keeps asking me to upgrade to Firefox 3.6.19, but when I try, it will download. What gives? I have a Mac Pro with OSX version 10.6.7.
Thanks,
Lloyd Frohreich

It sounds that you are opening the right-click context menu, maybe by pressing the mouse button for too long.
