Firefox won't open links that require a new window to open

Links that require a new window to open for the link won't open. I thought it was a Java issue, but I updated both Java and Firefox without any success.

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.

  • I am unable to open mail link (yahoo, gmail, and aol), and links that require a login will not open, it just continues to show "connecting" while on each home page.

    I can open web pages and click on links that don't require a login, but if I am trying to open a login for email or anything else "connecting" shows up in the tab and runs constantly with no connection taking place.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • When i klick a link that should open the page in a new window it opens up a blank page

    For example a link like this: javascript:%20window.open('http://www.survey-xact.dk/LinkCollector?key=TQ8P4KJN1K3P',%20'_blank',%20'height=580,width=800,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes');undefined
    It opens up a new window, but blank. Happens pretty often so I´m greatful if I could get help fixing this.

    That link doesn't seem to exist anymore on that server: http://www.survey-xact.dk/LinkCollector?key=TQ8P4KJN1K3P

  • I want to open links & sites in a new window and not a new tab, how can I do that?

    when I click on a link I want to open a new window, instead to open a new tab.

    Uncheck: Firefox > Preferences > Tabs: [ ] "Open new windows in a new tab instead"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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.

  • I just wanted to ask that is there any extension in which suppose I click on it then it will open specific link of site in new window.

    Only which I mentioned.

    You can hold down the Shift key and left click a link to open the link in a new window.

    You can set the browser.link.open_newwindow pref to 2 to open links that specify a target window open in a new window.

    Hi,
          We used the below logic :
    <htmlb:button id      = "help"
                        text    = "Help"
                        design  = "standard"
                        onClientClick = "window.open('http://www.sap.com')"
                        tooltip = "Help"
                        />
    It worked fine for us.
    Try this.
    Thanks,

  • When I use yahoo images and i open an image in a new window, it tweakes out firefox so that panes are distorted and exerything, the whole firefox browser looks like an F5 tornado took it apart and lumped it on my desktop... is this a known glitch?

    When I use yahoo images and open an image in a new window, the page, once I click its tab causes the entire browser to scramble graphically, making it nearly impossible to navigate further. I right-clicked and selected close tab. That regains the visual clarity of the browser. But how can I fix this to browse the images?

    Phillipp,
    I tried it again using "save link as", and this time it actually worked! I just now downloaded several more using the "save link as" option, and it works perfectly. Thanks. Problem solved.

  • Firefox 7 won't allow me to switch windows; if it's up, it's on top, so if I ask it to open a site in a new window (instead of a tab) I can't get to the window without minimizing the first window. This makes it impossible to work.

    I upgraded Firefox to 7 on my Win7 Pro 64 bit desktop yesterday. Today when I try to open a site in a new window, the window opens but I can't switch to it unless I actually minimize the first Firefox instance. Clicking on the second window just shows the first window again.
    Worse, it insists on being on top of other programs. I needed to check my Norton Firewall settings against some instructions on a web site, and I couldn't switch back and forth - I could ONLY have Firefox on top. Until you fix this I'm going back to Chrome, guys. I have looked through the Options menus and I can't find an "always on top" box to uncheck.

    Dear mkunz,
    I can understand your frustration. I have elected for the option to pick up an item from a UPS location when missed upon delivery before; it is definitely a convenient option when working around a work schedule. I apologize that this option wasn’t available to you for your phone purchase.
    We do understand that people have to work and this is why we allow three opportunities for you to receive the product. I see that AWBrown has submitted an idea to ideaX page asking us to look into reevaluating this process. Using your email address you have supplied here on the forums, I was able to look up your order. Based on the tracking information, it appears that you successfully received the phone on 06/03/2014.
    If this is not the case, please let me know!
    Thanks for reaching out,

  • How do i open sites that require adobe flash? I can't open my own website, not to mention tons of other sites.  It's ridiculous.

    How do i open sites that require adobe flash? I can't open my own website, not to mention tons of other sites.  It's ridiculous.

    Flash is not supported on the iPad and never has been supported on any iOS device - and as Adobe have never managed to make a version of their flash player that works on iOS devices, and they have recently announced that they are stopping development on all mobile versions of it, it probably never will be.
    Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store.

  • I get an Invalid Certificate notice when I try to access my https site for my printer. The serial number is the same as used by another certificate. In IE I was able to proceed to this address, but Firefox won't give me that option

    #Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.

  • In mail I am unable to open links that surround images

    On my iPhone 4S - In mail I am unable to open links that surround images - like html email with <a><img></a> (text links are fine).
    When I click the image I get the URL at the top and options to Save Image or Copy only. No Open option to follow the URL.
    Any ideas?
    Jack

    Have you tried clearing cache and cookies and see if add-ons are causing this?

  • When I launch Firefox 5, two (2) windows open: the "What's New" window and a second window with the correct Home Page. How do I stop the "What's New window from opening when I launch Firefox 5?

    Further: I'm running Windows XP.
    This happens every time I open Firefox 5 and began just after I upgraded to 5.0.
    Note: I've tried suggestions from the various posts in this forum from people who have similar problems, but with no luck. The problem still persists. Does anyone have any suggestions ??

    hello, this might happen when firefox is not able to properly save preferences in its profile folder. please try this: Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and then click help [[Image:Help-29]] > troubleshooting information > profile folder - "show folder". then a new window will open up. in this window look out for a file named '''user.js''' (it might be used to overwrite your custom settings). in case it is present , delete or rename this file and restart firefox afterwards.
    for more information and other steps please also see: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]]

  • Links that launch a new tab do not load

    I have the "open new windows in a new tab instead" option enabled but whenever I click on a link outside of the browser (e.g., in an email) a new tab is opened and the URL appears in the address bar. However, the page does not load. If I click on the address bar and hit enter it loads properly.
    If I uncheck the above option, the links load in a new window properly.
    In FF3, the links opened a new tab and loaded the page.
    Is there a way to get FF4 to open a new tab and load the page?

    This site is the culprit for me every time I try to visit my granddaughter's website..... this thing pops up even when I tell Firefox to block them, and not allow any cookies.... firefox cleans out my request and it pops up again. That's a major bug in my book.
    Here try it yourself and see if it happens for you.

  • SSRS 2008 : Open a linked report in a new window.

    Hi,
    How can I open a linked report, specified in the Action property, in a new explorer window?
    Thanks,
    Anurag

    Hi Anurag,
    If I understand correctly, you have used the "Jump to report" function to open a sub reoprt(linked report in your question). Now, you want to open the report in a new windows.
    By default, if using "Jump to report" function, the sub report will be opened in itself. That menas, it won't be opened in a new window.
    To open the sub report in a new windows, we can use the "Jump to url". Use JavaScript function "window.open" in the URL to open the reoprt in a new window:
    ="javascript:void(window.open('subreport name'))"
    Please feel free to ask, if you have any more questions.
    Thanks,

  • IN Windows 8 Desktop Mode, Firefox continually puts a background window over a new window when a new window is opened.

    I am running Firefox in Windows 8 in Desktop mode. If I have a window open, and then open a new window, the previously opened window will open in front of the window just opened. If there is more than one window open when opening a new window, it is usually the most recently used window that opens in front of the new window, but not always. There can sometimes be a delay as well - I can begin to type in the new window, and the previously opened window will open again. I have tried various Option settings, but nothing seems to prevent this behavior. Occasionally, when I have several windows open at once, two or more windows may open on top of the freshly opened window.

    '''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
    Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
