Force new windows to open in tabs?

Is there a plug-in or AppleScript that will force links that are set to open in new windows to instead open in a new tab?

No - I mean for links that are that are desigend to open a new browswer window - can I have Safari treat the "new window" directive as "new tab" instead? (I love the fact that Mail and etc. opens a new tab, I just want links on the web to do the same.)

  • I want all new windows to open in tabs but they dont, even after I have selected the option " Open new windows in new tab instead"

    Al the details are in the question: I want all new windows to open in tabs but they dont, even after I have selected the option " Open new windows in new tab instead"

    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 > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Force new window to open in new tab

    Now my safari open pages from the original pages to the new pages, I tried to set Safari to open pages in new tabs. I tried Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Tabs ▹ Open pages in tabs instead of windows: Automatically or Never or Always, but it still opened the pages on the original one.

    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

  • Every time I open a new Window, it opens with a second tab. With "my" top sites. How can I undo this? I made a screenshot, if necessary.

    When I open a new window, it opens 2 tabs. First is the requested url. Second is a tab without an adress. The second tab looks like some kind of touchscreen buttons for smartphones? I guess, it's an Firefox feature.
    I tried about:config and changed browser.newtab.url, checked starting window, etc. etc. Nothing helped.
    How can I keep my Firefox from opening this tab? Please help!

  • Dual monitor - force new windows to always open on primary monitor?

    I use my secondary monitor to watch streaming TV in internet browser windows.  When I have finished watching streaming TV and the secondary monitor is switched off, Safari still opens new browser windows on the secondary monitor by default (presumably due to the fact that the last active browser window was open on the secondary monitor).  This is irritating and means I have to switch the secondary monitor back on to drag the new browser window back to the primary display.  The secondary monitor is connected by VGA.
    This is a minor niggle, rather than a major issue, but it is irritating nevertheless!  Does anyone know if there is a way to force new windows to always open on primary monitor, regardless of where the last active window was?
    Any help much appreciated.
    Many thanks,
    Ben

    After many days i found solution:
    Run the client and get it set up the way you prefer, or Open your saved RDP file
    On the Display tab, choose a non-fullscreen resolution.
    On the General tab, click "delete these credentials", if possible.
    Click Connect .
    You will immediately get a local login dialog. Leave it blank and click
    OK .
    When you are connected and the remote login dialog appears, drag the window to the desired monitor.
    On the remote login dialog, click Cancel . The settings dialog should reappear locally.
    On the Display tab, you can now choose fullscreen.
    You can now save your session with the Save button on the
    General tab, as well as save your login credentials.
    Try more times ,worked for me.

  • You changed the order of the menu for "Open in a new window" or "Open in new Tab", How can I change it back? Or how can I omit any reference to tabs? I do not use them at all.

  • Would like new window to open in new tab as to opening in an exsisting tab and replacing open window

    Would like new window to open in new tab as to opening in an exsisting tab and replacing open window

    Could you describe the problem or problems in more detail? For example:
    * Are you clicking a link in page open in Firefox, or following a link from a different application?
    * Do you want different things to happen between those two cases?
    Background: Pages have a range of ways to set up a link. These can include:
    (A) Same window or tab (default)
    ''To change how this is handled, you can manually Ctrl+click the link to open it in a new tab, or use an add-on like Tab Mix Plus to override the default.''
    (B) New blank window (target="_blank")
    ''On the Tabs panel of the Options dialog, the first checkbox determines whether you see a new window or a new tab in the current window.''
    (C) Named target (e.g., target="MyApp")
    ''On the Tabs panel of the Options dialog, the first checkbox determines whether you see a new window or a new tab in the current window.''
    HOWEVER, if the site already used this named target before and the window/tab is still open, Firefox will re-use that window/tab and replace the current page with the new page.
    ''To change how this is handled, you can manually Ctrl+click the link to open it in a new tab, or perhaps an an add-on can override the default.''
    (D) Scripted (pop-up) window
    ''This can be the same as any of the above, or the page can bypass the new window/new tab setting by specifying certain features of the new pop-up window. There is a hidden override if you are running into this problem (browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction).''

  • Can I set up a new window to open without all the tabs from the current window opwning?

    I have a new computer at work with what must be a new version of firefox. I use multiple windows to do my job. When I open a new window, all the tabs from the current window open in the new one. I am wondering how to configure a new window to open with either a blank page or just my homepage?

    I restarted Firefox and changed the homepage settings a to a different choice and back to the desired page then restarted Firefox again. This eliminated all the initial tabs from opening from opening in the new window. I am not sure how all the pages were cached or what I should have done but I no longer have this issue.

  • When I open a new window, it opens behind the exist ing window instead of in front of it. How can I fix this?

    When I click on a link and I choose the option to open link in a new window, it opens behind the currently open window instead of in front of it. This is a real nuisance. Why is this happening, and how do I fix it?

    Hi alanbala,
    There are several possible reasons why the new window opens in the background and not in the foreground by default.
    # another installed program is causing this
    # the Firefox main window is set to Always on Top
    # probably a Windows 7 bug
    # possibly a Firefox bug [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790013 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790013]
    What you can do is
    # update your Windows 7 to the latest security patches
    # open Mozilla Firefox in Safe Mode (see KB article [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]])
    # evaluate the other programs installed on your computer
    # open new links on a new tab
    Let us know your progress. I will be following this support thread.

  • New windows not opening in front of previous ones...

    I do not know what happened, but at one point if I was on Safari and had a webpage open and then clicked a link to a new page, it would put the new page on "top" of the previous one(s) which makes sense. Now all of a sudden when I click a link or open a new page it pops up the previous page(s) and I have to close them to find the "buried" new page I want to see. <Edited by Moderator>
    Thanks!
    Casey

    Did you check your preferences to see if they were correct? If you go to Preferences > Tabs, is the box that says "Select tabs and windows as they are created" checked? If not, check the box and then new windows should open in the foreground.

  • Is there a way to have new windows/links open behind the current open window, running Mavericks?

    I would like to have new windows that open from links, or when I "right-click, open new window", to open behind the window I am reading from, working from, browsing, etc. I often am doing research, and opening multiple supplemental links, but do not like having to click back to the page I am working from every time.
    A separate choice when I right click, to "open in new window behind current window" would be great!

    There is no add on that I know of that can do this, but there has been an implementation found for javascript via this link:
    *[http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17570412/prevent-document-losing-a-focus-when-new-tab-is-opened Stackoverflow: prevent document from losing a focus when a new tab is opened]
    * There is also an about:config entry: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction Browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction] that is explained wht to do when clicking on a link in a webpage that requires a new window open, but it does not restrict the focus of the tab
    *[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/?src=search Tab Mix Plus has similar features check this one out too. ]

  • How do I set Safari to automatically resize new window when opening a link?

    Here is the scenario. I have one Safari window open, I click a link that is on that page, I have Safari set to open a new window (not a new tab) so that is what it does. It opens a new window from that link, but the new window is too small. It is about 1/4 the size of a window that fills up the screen. How do I set up Safari so that when I open a link in a window, it automatically resizes the new window to fill the screen?
    Thanks much,
    Paula Jo

    Hi Paula Jo
    Next time a new window automatically opens, resize it to the desired size by dragging the lower right corner. Then, click on the red button in the upper left to close it.
    Now, select a link in your existing browser window to open the 2nd window. It ought to be the same size as what was set previously.
    Let me know if that works.

  • When i click new window it opens to the right of the screen with 1% showing if i click the green button it than opens in the screen how can i fix

    It's normal for links to open in the same tab as you browse if you left-click. You can Ctrl+click or middle click to open a link in a new tab. Are either of those broken?
    Some sites let you use a regular left click to open a link in a new tab (example: Google search settings), and some add-ons may change link behavior. Can you check whether one of your add-ons has been disabled?
    Tools > Add-ons > Extensions
    Also, if you use the Ask toolbar, try disabling it and see whether that makes any difference.

  • 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.

    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == after installed last version...

    Well, then isn't there some way to induce Firefox to give Windows parameters that make it open the fershlugginer window in the *same* position, instead of an offset position?
