Flash player opening in new window even for flash in websites

Ok, so ive searched the net and not found a single person with my problem, if its something easy ive missed im sorry. Flash player opens in a new window for every bit of flash. Like if I go to hulu and start to watch a movie it will not load in browser but open a new window on the desktop and begin playing. If I go to a website that has a flash based set up like the air forces website just the backround will load and the flash thats supposed to be on the page tries to load in a new window like hulu but since its not a movie it doesnt work. It does this for everything flash, meaning if I go to a flash heavy website I see only the html parts and end up with tons of blank flash windows in my task bar I cant bring up. Im running firefox but it does it for ie too so I dont think its a browser issue.

That resolved the issue. Thank you so much.

Tabs opening as new windows even when I click open in a new tab

All of a sudden links that normally opened as new tabs are now opening as new windows. Even when I specifically say open as a new tab it still opens as a new window. I have checked the settings in the tab option so it should be opening them as new tabs. it is highly frustrating!

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.

Mp3 player opening in new window

I have made an mp3 player which works fine but I have one issue. Currently if you click on the speakers it will open the player in another window. That's what I want but what I need help with is can you tell me of a way for the original player to stop playing and then new one which opens to continue playing.
The second player launches via a get url command, so I guess this might not work with what I am trying to achieve.
Here is the link to the file.
http://www.khawkinsdesign.com/boombox/mp3.html
The idea is for the original mp3 player to sit on the first page of a website and the second one to float when opened over the other pages the user navigates through.
All assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Every link opens a new window even when this should open a new tab

Lately, whenever I click on a link a new window opens (11 happenings of firefox just to get to this page). In options I have selected open new tab instead of new window. Deselecting or reselecting does not change this. Restarting firefox did not help either. Also for some reason if I click the dot button on the keyboard, I get the greater than sign.

This issue can be caused by an extension or plugin that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

NavigateToURL opening in New Window even with _Self

Strange Behavior in a flash I'm working on. And I must be
doing something wrong because I can reproduce it in every flash I
create. You can check out the behavior here at a test page on my
under construction site:
http://www.i2craptor.com/
I have a menu bar at the top of the page, with the following
code:
btnHome.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,btn1ClickHandler);
function btn1ClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("
http://www.i2ctech.com/"),"_Self");
btnProducts.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,btn2ClickHandler);
function btn2ClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("products.html"),"_Self");
btnSupport.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,btn3ClickHandler);
function btn3ClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("support.html"),"_Self");
btnResources.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,btn4ClickHandler);
function btn4ClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("resources.html"),"_Self");
btnCompany.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,btn5ClickHandler);
function btn5ClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("company.html"),"_Self");
btnPress.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,btn6ClickHandler);
function btn6ClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("press.html"),"_Self");
Here is the crazy thing. If I open up a web browser and then
click the menu buttons, the buttons open the link up in a new page.
Once the NEW page opens, the menu buttons start acting as I would
expect, then opening any further links in the same web page. Is
this some internet explorer security setting? Every computer that I
have utilized (total of 5) to view the web page exhibits this same
behavior.

That resolved the issue. Thank you so much.

How do I get firefox to stop telling me it stopped the web site I am on from opening a new window even though it has gone to the next page I have clicked on?

This happens even on my banking sites and bill pay sites. The little bar comes down at the top of the page. Gives me the option of allow, when I right click it does not do anything. I have to click the x or allow to make it go away.

See:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
The setting in "Tools > Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.

Using Firefox 5 in Windows 7, once I have Firefox open, I can no longer open a new window using the start button. How do I fix?

As I stated, I have Windows 7 on my laptop and have installed Firefox 5. I sometimes like to have multiple windows of the browser open. But, unlike any previous version of Firefox, now when I have the browser open, when I try to open a new window using the Start menu, it will not open one. I have to use Ctrl+N. Why did this change?
This may seem insignificant but it really hampers my work flow. For one, with other applications, Shift+N is what opens a new window. For two, I've been doing with with my browsers for years now and it's like second nature for me - having to remember that in Firefox it's Ctrl+N is a pain in my tuccus.
Firefox is my go to browser and I would like it to stay that way. Please find the solution for me! I have tried looking using Tools, Options, as well as looking at my start menu and taskbar options, and no dice.

Clicking 'Open in new tab' opens in new window

Since the latest update (8.01), I've been unable to open links in new tabs without dragging the link up to the tab bar. Alt-clicking the link and clicking 'open in new tab' opens the link in a new window instead (The 'open in new window' works as it should). Also, middle button clicking opens in new window, even though I have the 'Open new windows in a new tab instead' selected in the tabs option menu.

And now it's started working fine...odd.

Firefox closes after I click on a link to open a new window

I had to reinstall Window 7, and of course, Firefox and Thunderbird. Now Firefox closes after I click on a link to open a new window. For example, if I'm in Thunderbird, and i click on a link in an email, Firefox gives me a message like "Firefox is already open, but must close before opening a new window."

Is there more than one installation of Firefox listed in the Programs installed?

Why the links are still opened in new windows?

Why the links are still opened in new windows even I selected the option to open in tabs?
This is one of the web I am reading (sorry that it is in simplified Chinese), I have no problems reading it in tabs in Firefox:

Hi,
How are you trying to open the windows? Safari does not default to opening new windows in tabs. It can open +external application+ links (e.g. from your email program, RSS viewer, etc) in a new tab, but not links from an existing website.
To open links in a new tab, you'll need to hold the ctrl key and click the link, or use the middle-mouse button if your mouse has one (or right-click on the link and choose to open it in a new tab).

Installed Skype and now Flash Player won't open in new window

I installed the latest version of Skype and now Flash Player does not work properly.
I just bought a new laptop, it has Windows 7, 32 bit, IE 9, and Flash 10.
A website that I go to all the time uses Flash Player so when you click on a link in the site it pops out the player into a new window and you can listen while you still browse on their site. After I installed Skype last night, that 'pop-out' function is no longer there. The player now replaces the webpage and it is very large and distorted because it is supposed to be in a small pop-out window. No matter what I click, I can't get the link to open in a new window, it always opens in the same window replacing the webpage.
I uninstalled Skype and then used the manual uninstaller of Flash because the uninstall would not work from the uninstall screen in Windows. I then reinstalled the latest version of Flash Player and I still have the same problem.
Is this a setting that I can change somewhere??
Thank you.

Hi eidnolb, thanks for the reply.
I did uninstall the google toolbar that was installed with skype.
I now found that it is not just flash player that won't open in a new window, I can't get any link at all to open in a new tab or a new window.
I tried restoring IE's settings and that did not work.
I know this is an adobe forum and my problem is now much larger than just adobe, but if you have any suggestions, I would appreciate it.
Thanks.

Firefox will not open a new window for a website when it is supposed to and then will not close properly. I have un-installed and re-installed and problem persists, why? How is it solved?

When I go on to some websites and click on certain things it wants to open a new window to display the information etc.
I.E. On an agency job search site I click to do a detailed job search which should open in a new window, but this will not happen now on my Firefox.
Firefox was working perfectly ok on Saturday 11th September but for some unknown reason has acted up since Sunday.
There have been no Windows updates which could effect this and the laptop is otherwise working perfectly ok.
Nothing has changed from Saturday Night to Sunday Night that I can see.
I have even tried to do a system restore to solve the problem but with no success.

I also have this problem. I cannot open links from a discussion board I frequent nor can I open links from my email. Also after opening my email, I cannot go to any other sites except my home page. I can then go no where else.
When I close Firefox and try to reopen it, it does nothing! I have to bring up the Task Manager and end the Firefox process before I can get back in.
To the best of my knowledge, this problem started with the new update to Ver. 3.6.9. I am running Windows XP Media Center 2005

When opening a new window, it just stays blank. For instance when I try to play a card game in yahoo games.

When I go to open a new window by the result of trying to open something on a page, the new window stays blank. There is no error message or anything, it just stays blank.

It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is
there for. Also, check the programs that are on your computer
'''Windows > Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.'''
'''(Mac: Open the "Applications" folder)'''
Go thru the list and use a web search to check any that you don't
know what they are.

Link in Flash keeps opening in new window

I have l a flash file in my pages that links to other pages within my web site but when clicked they automatically open in another window. How can I link them without opening a new window as would happen with a normal web page link?
Here is my current Action Script code:
index.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,indexbuttondown);
function indexbuttondown(event:MouseEvent):void {
var bbcURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("index.html");
navigateToURL(bbcURL);
Thanks for your help
Nick

Try changing the one line to be:
navigateToURL(bbcURL, "_self");
And test on a server. Testing locally isn't reliable when browser window commands are involved.

FF cant open a page in a new window, even from rightclick menu and if tried ff cannot exit correctly

as described above, cant open anything in a new window, even from right click menu.......... open in new tab is not checked in settings.
also the flash plug in crashes all the time

I have these problems, as well, but after disabling and re-enabling extensions and plug-ins one by one, it appears these issues are related to the Java Console 6.0.22 extension update. With this extension disabled and the older Java 6.0.20 enabled, I could open a new window and FF could exit correctly even with the updated Java Deployment Toolkit 6.0.220.4 and Java(TM) Platform SE 6 U22 6.0.220.4 plug-ins enabled.
The question is whether FF is conflicting with the Java Console update or the Java Console update is the true culprit. I'm leaning toward the latter.
Firefox 3.6.10
''Extensions:'' Java Console's (noted above), Better Privacy 1.48.3, Download Helper 4.8.1, Scrapbook Plus 1.8.17.31,Vacuum Places Improved 1.1, and ZoneAlarm Toolbar 1.5.152.10
''Plug-ins:'' Java Platform and Toolkit (noted above), Mozilla Default 1.0.0.15, QuickTime 7.6.8.0, Silverlight 4.0.50917.0, Windows Genuine Advantage 1.9.0042.0, and WPF 3.5.30729.1
