Force open images in new tab instead of downloading it.

Some webpages force download of images either with change of the image mime type or (I think) with javascript.
Is there any way to force all jpg/png/gif files to open in new tab when given a direct link to it.

Sounds that you have previously set an automatic download action for the application/force-download MIME type.

  • How can I force a popup to open in a new tab instead of opening a new window?

    I want to keep any links that I click from opening a new window, ie. if I click on a link in an open tab that opens a new window, I want it to open in a new tab instead. I am on Firefox 5.0.

    You can look at the browser.link.open_newwindow prefs on the about:config page.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction (0)
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow (3)
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    *Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
    *Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
    *Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

  • How do I get Google search bar results to open in a new tab instead of the current tab?

    When I use the Google search box, I would like the search results to open in a new tab instead of the current tab.

    It turns out there is an about:config setting just for this purpose. Toggle browser.search.openintab to 'true', and all is well.

  • How to get pages to open in a 'New Tab' instead of a 'New Page'

    Hi there,
    I know how to get the pages of my iWeb created site to open as a 'New Page' by using the Inspector. What I want to do however, is to get them to open as a 'New Tab' instead.
    I want to do this because I have several pages that open as a 'New Page' and it litters the screen with Safari pages. So instead of a 'New Page', I want them to open as a 'New Tab' within the one Safari window.
    This is what I want to happen:
    1: user clicks on link
    2: link opens a new Tab
    3: Safari switches to the new Tab and makes it the active Tab.
    Can someone please tell me how to get this to happen. Just ot be totally clear: I am aware that I can alter [MY] Safari settings to do this on my own Mac. But I want it to happen as default for everyone who visits my site and clicks on the corresponding links.
    My site is published to MobileMe
    Regards
    Jason

    Where is iWeb involved?
    Right-click > open link in new tab.
    Works with all webpages, not only iWeb ones.
    And if it drives you crazy, you may want to seek professional help with medication.

  • Can't open images in new tabs.

    Using middle mouse or right clicking the image and selecting open in new tab asks if I want to open the image with some program or save the image. If I select firefox and try opening the image with it, the image is downloaded into my temp folder creating a blank download tab and then another tab is created when firefox opens the image from the folder (even the image address is the address of my temp folder and not the image url). I just want to open images in new tabs.
    I should note that this does not happen with all images and I can't figure out why it sometimes happens and sometimes it doesn't.

    There are a list of options when I right click on an image. Many of the ones you have described are options in the list of this image. Some web pages have links associated with the images that you can click on, therefore the option to only open the image location url is not always consistent.
    "Copy image location" and pasting it into a new window is consistent, but adds an extra step. It is also possible to customize shortcuts and make one that behaves the way you want it with [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/customizable-shortcuts/ Customizable shortcuts add on]

  • How do I get Firefox to open in a new tab (instead of a new window) when I click on one of my buttons in my toolbar?

    When I click on one of my buttons in the toolbar, Firefox opens that button in a new window. I would like to be able to click on one of my buttons and Firefox open it in a new tab instead.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == When I attempt to click on a button

    Right click the FireFox button in your toolbar and look in the properties- middle tab...make sure that it only has "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" with no other link added to the end. I had a similar problem this morning and found a website had attached it's link to the end so it would always pop up first and would only open a new tab.
    Hope that fixed it.

  • How do I get my hotmail to open in a new tab instead of a new window and I've tried the middle click/ctlr option.

    MSN is my home page and when I click on the hotmail link in the top left hand corner of the page it always opens in a new window even if I press middle-click/ ctrl keys. The hotmail link is the only link that I have had this problem with thus far. Can you help me correct this problem?

    Hotmail opens in a new window because the code or set of instructions on the MSN website tells Firefox to open Hotmail in a new window. I would suggest you right click on the Hotmail button and left click on "Open Link in New Tab". This will open a new tab in the current window.

  • How do I get all hyperlinks to open in a new tab instead of redirecting the open page?

    Simply put, when I hit a hyperlink I do NOT want the page I'm on to go to the linked URL -- I want the new URL to appear in a new and separate tab. FF used to do this just fine -- until I "upgraded" to 5.0.1 yesterday.
    Between this and the smaller screen size for the FF browser I'm thinking of jumping ship back to Chrome...
    HELP!
    Thanks in advance...

    Hotmail opens in a new window because the code or set of instructions on the MSN website tells Firefox to open Hotmail in a new window. I would suggest you right click on the Hotmail button and left click on "Open Link in New Tab". This will open a new tab in the current window.

  • When I open a new URL I want it to open in a new tab instead of replacing the last tab in line.

  • Every time I click a link, it opens in a new tab instead of the existing one.

    Whenever I left click on any link, Firefox opens the link in a new tab. Previously it would only open a link in a new tab if I either middle clicked, or right clicked and specifically selected 'Open Link in New Tab.'

    This may be because the site is instructing the browser to open them in a new tab (I know, it's a big usability issue, but the web is still young...). Can you try it on other browsers and see what happens? If the same happens, yes, it's probably the site that's telling the browser to open the link in another tab.
    If you want to eliminate that behavior, and be in full control of where the links open (middle click to open in new tab, left click to open in the same tab - as it ''should'' be), I suggest you install an extension like [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/1122/ Tab Mix Plus], which, among other things (many things, it's an absolutely phenomenal extension) will let you configure "links that open in a new window" to open on the current tab.

  • How can I set pdfs to open in a new tab instead of prompting firefox to open them in Adobe itself?

    I use a website with many links to pdfs. In Windows XP (probably an older version of firefox) I could right click on the link to open a new tab, and the pdf would open in the new tab. In Windows 7 (and updated firefox) when I right click to open a new tab, a new blank tab opens and Adobe starts up displaying the document in a new Adobe window. How can I change the settings to have pdfs open within the new tab (without opening Adobe)?

    Tools -> Options -> Applications Tab
    Under Content Type find Adobe
    Under Action, Left click and select "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)"
    That should do it!

  • Safari 5 opens links in new tab instead of new window

    So how can I go back to "normal"? Tried with
    defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool false
    but Safari still opens them in a new tab.
    Thanks

    HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
    From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences and select Tabs from the Menu. Perhaps your settings changed after the update.
    Also, if you didn't repair disk permissions after the Safari 5 update, it would be beneficial to do that.
    Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

  • Want a link to open in a new tab instead of replacing a current tab

    when I click in mac mail, it replaces a website in a current tab. I want a link to open in a brand new tab of its own.

    sorry, that doesn't work. In mac mail when I control-clicked (mac version of right click) the only option was open link -- and it replaced the awesome pandora tune i was listening to with this page.
    Chrome automatically opens a new tab, I'm hoping for similar behavior from firefox.

  • Why won't the Tabs function work (Open new window in a new tab instead)??

    My current problem is- - I'm running FF.32, and when I click on a link (in an email, article, webpage link... anything) it opens in the Current window... it doesn't open a new* window, or new tab (as selected)... it "closes" the current page and opens the clicked-on link or email... Unless* I right-click on it and Tell it to open in a new tab instead (but I have to right-click and tell it to do this). I don't think this is normal. What do I need to change..?

    I think it is Firefox's default setting to open links in the current tab unless the site forces the link to open in a new window, or you explicitly open the link in a new tab/window.
    You may need an extension like [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/ Tab Mix Plus] to open links like how you want.
