Force links to open in new tabs not working any more

Since the 10.6.4 update, safari on my macbook pro has stopped opening links in new tabs, and went back to the default of opening links in new windows. This is the old terminal command I used to change it initially :
+defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true+
It doesn't seem to work any more. I've attempted it several times. My Mac is also on 10.6.4, but I'm not experiencing the same problem there.
Anyone else happen to have this happening?

HI and welcome.....
From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select Tabs in the menu.
Click the pop up menu and select: Always

IE 11 - Open in new Tab Not Working

When I click on a link that should open in a new tab (or right-click and select Open in new Tab), IE11 Opens a new tab but the screen is blank, the URL is about:blank and the tab title is 'Blank Page'.
Windows 8.1 x64
Internet Explorer 11 (Desktop)
The 'Metro' version of IE 11 still works fine, it's just the Desktop version which is broken.
I've tried all the fixes listed in the similar thread, but none have helped.
IE 11 TABS NOT WORKING
IE 11 opens blank tab

Thanks, I ran a Command Prompt (Admin) and ran the following scripts:
ie8-rereg.32on64.cmd
ie8-rereg.64on64.cmd
Both seemed to execute correctly, but haven't made a difference.
Unfortunately they have never been a complete repair and now, due to security/obscurity have been made even less effective. There was an example in here a while ago in which the poster helped me see that exploiting the original manifests might have
been a better tack for a repair. IIRC they uncovered some registry corruption which seemed related to mshtmled.dll but which was not repaired by registering that module and was damage which was only hinted at by looking at the manifest.
The poster's repair was found by comparing registries from otherwise identical systems...
OMG look what this recollection has dredged up: <lol/>

Interestingly, I came across another oddity which might indicate the behaviour is some sort of change to the IE security settings. On a site I frequent http://www.makegamessa.com/ none of the links work.
They've all previously worked and they still work in other browsers, just not my IE. If you click a link it is supposed to open the page in the current window (i.e. not opening a new tab), but nothing happens. However, if I have the F12 developer tools open,
then the links all work as expected OR if I add the site to Trusted Sites the links also work.
That sounds like Active Scripting is inhibited. Scripting would be disabled in a Restricted security zone or in an Internet zone which was set to High level. Scripting would be enabled in a Trusted security zone. Scripting would be required
in order to use IE11 Developer Tools since that is its implementation. It hadn't occurred to me that that might provide an override for Scripting which had been otherwise inhibited.

Safari 8.0 Open in New Tab not working correctly

Hard and Software:
MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008), 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
OS X Yosemite 10.10 clean install, iCloud enabled, Safari 8.0
Problem description:
When I open any type of link in a new tab on Safari, the link shows up in the address bar for that tab, but is not executed, so the tab page remains blank with the address bar filled with the link. Only when I put the cursor at the end of the link in the address bar and hit return, it is actually opened.
When I open several links in new tabs, this problem only occurs for the first tab, the subsequent tabs open normally.
Troubleshooting Performed:
I changed search engine, turned off suggestions, disabled javascript, cleared history and website data, changed tab settings and turned off extensions. And the problem remained through all these steps.

The described problem goes further: also when I type in any address on the address bar and press return, nothing happens. The address is correctly shown in the address bar, but is does not load the page. When I reposition the cursor behind the address in the address bar, and hit enter, it loads.

Open in new tab not working properly. How can I get it to stop opening new windows?

Firefox recently updated and my + open new tab button was gone. I found and downloaded the extension to put it back on, which is now gone but never worked. I have checked options>tabs and it is supposed to be opening new tabs. I can click file open new tab and it still opens everything in a new window. I've loved firefox for several years but if this isn't fixable quickly I'm gone. Can anyone help?

You definitely should not need an extension to get a new tab button!
Do you have any tab related extensions now, such as Tab Mix Plus or Tab Utilities?
Try resetting your toolbar layout by renaming the file that stores customizations. Firefox should returns to the default settings for toolbars and windows. Here's how:
(1) Open your personal settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder
Help (or Alt+h) > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
(2) Switch back to Firefox and exit the program (e.g., File > Exit)
(3) Wait a few moments for Firefox to finish updating files in your settings folder, then rename '''localstore.rdf''' to something else, like localstore-bad.rdf or localstore.old. Alternately, you can delete the file.
(4) You're done with your profile folder and you can restart Firefox now.
Any luck?
With respect to links launching in new windows instead of tabs, the checkbox in the Options dialog should work but there is an exception for scripted windows that have certain parameters set (e.g., dialog style with no toolbars, or a specific size). Launching a link out of a dialog, which is not allowed to have extra tabs in the window, also will launch either a new window or be added to an existing window. Any chance the problem is related to those situations?

Open in new tab not working

hello all,
ever since upgrading to Lion I have been unable to get highlighted text in a text entry box (ex: FB status update) to open in a new tab whenever the contextual menu item "search with Google" is clicked. I have the safari settings checked so that holding command-click will open in a new tab but this only works for links and other text already rendered on the page.
this is annoying my wife greatly, because after the search takes her away from the current page all text entered is then erased. I've tried working with the Glims safari extension settings with no success.
If anyone has any suggestions, I'll gladly take them. otherwise, it seems I'll be switching back to snow leopard ...
thanks in advance,
Joseph Thomasson

wasn't able to find a workaround, so I just reinstalled snow leopard.

Search in saved preview .pdf files not working any more

When I download a .pdf file from the internet and open it in preview, the search command works ok. When this same file is saved to disk and opened again, search is not working any more. Is this a bug, or my fault. Regards Rolf

Hi,
I hope this helps...
A while back we have more than one browser running on our PC (IE, Firefox, Chrome) and we messed by how Acrobat views documents over the web.
I think that this has some relevance here, as around this time LC also started falling over previewing forms.
Now if we open LC and Acrobat is not running, the "Preview PDF" is not present or accessible. So now we fire up Acrobat before we open a form in LC Designer and the preview tab is there and functioning.
Not much of a workaround; but I am hoping that someone will have a better one!!!
Good luck,
Niall

When I right click on a link to open in new tab and move my cursor into the dialog box the box dissapears this is new in the last 24 hours.

I'm using Firefox 8.0 on Suse 11.4 today is 11/28/11 the past 24 hours I've been experiencing this: I always try to right click on links and open in new tab, lately when I do so and move the cursor into the dialog box the box disappears. Also if I online shop say for clothing, if I want to change size's when I click the button to do so nothing happens when I want to scroll down and pick a different size, (I can hi-light the size and click on it then when the window scrolls back up the default size is still there. This isn't consistent with all web sites.

You can middle-click a link to open the link in a new tab.
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.

MY FIREFOX NEW TAB NOT WORKING NIETHER WITH + NOR WITH RIGHT CLICKING ON TAB OR DOUBLE CLICK ON TAB

MY FIREFOX NEW TAB NOT WORKING NIETHER WITH + NOR WITH RIGHT CLICKING ON TAB OR DOUBLE CLICKING ON TAB

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

HT1349 my iphone4s power butter do not work any more . can i change a new one in att store

my iphone4s power butter do not work any more . can i change a new one in att store
it gives me troubles

outianleiz,
Mine quits working every now and then.
Most of the time I can fix it by doing a power button, home button reset. When that doesn't work plugging it into my computer does.
What have you tried?
Also I believe it is a software problem not hardware. So I would suggest not replacing it until you can get your hands on the "iOS 5.1" update. That is what I am waiting on before I calling Apple and/or ATT and raising the roof with someone over this issue.

Hi,
CTRL+P requires manual tab focus when printing a PDF within FF4. This worked fine in FF3 - i.e, you could just select the tab. Why does it not work any more? Thanks!
