Forefox won't open links in a new tab, they open in a new window instead.

I just updated to the newest version of Firefox (says 3.6.11 in "About Firefox"). Links now open in new windows instead of tabs in the same browser window. My settings are set to do this but it doesn't work.
Someone said the AskToolbar extension was the problem, but I went to Tools-->Add-Ons and saw that I didn't have that extension. Anybody know whassap? Thanks!!

Did you check if another extension is causing it?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • Links gose to new window instead of adding as tabs even I chose not to in preferences

    Whenever I click any links, it opens new windows instead of new tabs on existing window as used to be even I deselected the "open new window in a new tab instead" at the preferences. It's started from new Firefox 4.0.

    Because of my work I have to be free to set side by side images and for that I need only windows no tabs - some work resolutions does not work in tabs - I am going crazy trying to do that since all the options I have tried so far are null.

    I had that add on and it didn't solve the problem. I cannot put two

  • Firefox has started loading external links in a new window instead of a new tab

    Until recently, external links have always opened in a new tab. The last few days thaey've started opening in a new window. I can't find anything I have changed.

    I am running IE Tab 2 (FF 3.6+) 2.12.21.1 by ietab.net and was experiencing this problem... I just disabled it and the problem went away.

  • FF opening link in new window instead of new tab

    When I click the option to open a link in a new tab, it opens the link in a new window instead. What's up with that?

    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")
    If you have many extensions then first enable half of the extensions to test which half has the problem.<br />
    Continue to divide the bad half that still has the issue until you find which one is causing it.

  • Why is the option to open new links in a new window not available?

    Hi, I'd like to select the option to open new links in a new window instead of new tab but the option is greyed out. Can anyone help me on this, please? I tried to untick "Block popup windows" to see if that would help but it didn't.

    Do you mean the setting in Options > Tab or in the right-click context menu of a link on web pages?
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Firefox won't open mailto links in a new window like it used to...it just opens gmail in the current tab.

    I recently upgraded firefox and now whenever I click a mailto link it opens gmail in the current tab rather than in a new window. How can I get it to open email links in a new window.

    My MAILTO problem was finally fixed on the June 29, 2012 Firefox version 14 beta 10 release.

  • Using Firefox 4.0 Beta 4. When I open a link in a new window, the web address does not show in the location bar. Why?

    When I open a web page link in "a new window" the link opens, but the web page information does not appear in the location bar. It is blank. If I open the link in a new tab, there is ho problem.
    Further, if a open a link from the tab without a location in a new tab on the same window and then go back to the original tab, the location bar fills with the web address.
    Have done this starting in several locations, so it not location dependent.

    That behaviour is likely top be caused by an add-on, and in your case the likely culprit is IE Tab 2, the various versions of IE Tab have caused problems with Firefox 4 beta including issues with the location bar not being updated.
    You can test to see if IE Tab 2 is causing your problem by disabling it and then seeing if the location bar in a new window shows the address. If it is not that add-on causing the problem, see [[troubleshooting extensions and themes]].
    For info, the IE Tab Plus add-on has been updated recently to improve compatibility with Firefox 4 beta, you may want to try that one instead. The latest version is available from http://coralietab.mozdev.org/installation.html

  • I would like to open links in a new window but cannot find where to put the setting. Have unchecked the "Open new windows in new tab instead" box in the Options dialog box.

    When I click a link on a webpage or other software, I would like for it to open in a completely new window.

    You can hold the Shift key and click the left mouse button a link to open that link in a new window.
    The setting in Tools > Options > Tabs is only for links that specify a target window and you can divert such a link to a new tab instead.

  • New tabs are not updating the names of the sites they have loaded. When I open a new tab and load a site, the tab simply stays named "New Tab". When I open a link in a new window, it shows "Connecting..." even while its fully loaded.

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
    '''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
    *Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    '''For Firefox versions previous to 29.0:'''
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]] 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.
    '''For Firefox 29.0 and above:'''
    #Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''.
    Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.

  • Button opens link in a new window

    Hello everyone,
    This is a rather simple question for all gurus out there, but
    it seems a bit hard to find on documentation. How can you open a
    link in a new window with a button in a flash form? I want a button
    on my form to pop a new window with a specified link (say,
    www.adobe.com or whatever). How would you approach this?

  • When I open a link in a website it opens as a new window instead of just staying on the same page

    In any website, when I click on a link it opens in a new window.this even occurs in google when I click any of the results it opens in a new window instead of just staying on the same page.tabs work fine however, it is just links on websites.

    Did you check the search settings on the Google Search Settings page?
    * http://www.google.com/preferences?hl=en
    ''Where results open: Open search results in a new browser window.''
    You can set the browser.link.open_newwindow pref to 1 to open links by default in the current tab.

    Firefox doesn't install new versions of plugins, but Flash may update itself automatically.<br />
    You are still one version behind on Flash, current is Flash 10.1 r85<br />
    If the Flash player didn't update properly then you need to download the full version and run the installer as Administrator (right-click: Run as ...)
    Flash Global Notifications Settings Panel:<br />

    You are more versions behind on Java updates with having Java 6 U11, current is 6 U22.

  • Force firefox to open links in a new window

    How can I force firefox to open a link in a new window? Right now it opens the link in the same window, no matter how I configure the settings. Frustrating.
    Thanks

    Firefox does not have a built-in setting to open all links in a new window. Normally, you would need to hold down the Shift key when clicking the link (Shift+click) or use right-click > Open Link in New Window.
    You may be able to find an add-on that adds this feature. I know there are various add-ons to open links in a ''new tab'', but I don't know about a new window.
    If the problem is particular to Google search results, there is a setting in Google itself to switch the links from same window to new window. That can be found on the search preferences page:
    https://www.google.com/preferences#nwc
    This preference is saved in a cookie, so if you clear cookies often, then you would need to revisit that page often.
