Google search results won't open in a new window

I like to have Google search results open in a new tab and, until recently, using Google's settings allowed me to do that. But now if I click a lik in search results, it opens the page in the same window. In other words, FF "refuses" to obey Google's preferences.

Firefox should divert the new window to a new tab when you check this box in Google's Search Settings:
"Open search results in a new browser window"
I can't think of any reason for Firefox to divert a new window back into ''the same tab''.
In case one of your add-ons is the culprit, could you try Firefox's Safe Mode?
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, restart Firefox using Help>Restart with Add-ons Disabled. Don't check any of the boxes in the [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode] dialog, just Continue in Safe Mode.
Does it make any difference?

Google search results won't open automatically new tab in firefox 6.0.2

Clicking on google search results won't open automatically new tabs in firefox 6.0.2, although it was working until today!

Did you check the Google settings via the gear icon at the top left of the Google site to make sure that you still have selected that feature?

I have just updated to 7.0.1 and suddenly my search results won't open in a new tab

I have just updated to 7.0.1 and suddenly my search results won't open in a new tab (let alone a new window - something I much preferred in the past) although this option is checked.
I even installed Tab Utilities Light Options - all of it's options work, but not for Search Bar.
When I choose one of the search results and want to view several items on that site (let's say a page with some 50 photo's), there seems to be no longer a way to return to the original search result. I have to start from scratch.
I hope this can be 'mended' because this is utterly annoying.
Greetings

Although 6 other people seem to have encountered this problem, nobody has offered a solution yet. Perhaps the following will put some Firefox gurus on the right trail.
When I said "my search results", I meant the results obtained with Google (standard when installing Firefox). Now I have tried another search engine (Dogpile) and there The tabs do work. Very strange, isn't it ?

Hyperlink on a trigger won't open in a new window

I have set up a roll over trigger that reveals a target and it works great. The only issue is that the hyperlink I have assigned to the trigger will only work if I uncheck the "open in a new window or tab" box. If I check that box, nothing happens when I click the trigger, yet it's original function of revealing the target still works.

here is one picture of the composition settings, I also took 6 other photos with a trigger/target/textbox/picture broken apart so you could see the layers, I've included all in this dropbox link:

Messages in search results won't open and can't be found

I run a local search in the search box on the top right of the email screen. Three messages are found. I click on any of the three messages, and the message list screen appears, but the message is not listed.
Is there any way to determine where these three messages are stored? They apparently still exist somewhere, but I can't find them.
I can search for other keywords, and the search function works just fine. Somehow, these three messages are being stored somewhere obscure.
Thanks for any guidance you can provide.
Additional Information: The left side bar of the search results indicates that the messages are in a folder I created within Local Folders, but that folder just isn't there.

There's good news and bad news. With your guidance, I was able to rebuild the Global Database. It took just a few minutes to re-index. Unfortunately, those three messages are gone completely now -- no shadow of them remaining when I rerun the search. I suspect that, while the messages were seemingly invisible, the folder they were in got deleted under the assumption that the folder was now empty. Oops. Oh well. Whatchagonna do! It makes me wonder, though, what other emails might be gone now that I'm not even aware of.
It sounds like rebuilding the Global Database might be a regular maintenance item for me moving forward.
Thanks so much for your help! I really do appreciate it.

LR5.3 64bit won't open on my new Windows 8.2 machine

To cut a long story short I have just installed LR5 on my new PC and it won't open. PS and Bridge open just fine.
All that happens is the same thing as the picture at the top of this thread http://forums.adobe.com/message/5410681
It looks like a registration screen but I can't maximise it.
So far none of the suggestions from support have helped. This has included re-installing LR, setting up a new Windows profile, using the Adobe cleaner tool, and a few other things.
FYI - there is only one monitor attached to my PC.
Any ideas?

I bought my MacBook Pro (in June 2011) with OS Snow Leopard (OS 10.6.7) and used my Iomega StoreCenter as NAS for may data and timemachine. All ok. Last year I added the Iomega StorCenter ix2-200 to my network for data files and all worked ok.
I have now upgraded my Mac with OS 10.8.2 and now my problem starts. Time machine is not working neither with my "old" StoreCenter nor with the ix2-200. The Iomega non protected diskfiles show up in the finder and I can connect as guest and use them. However when I want to use Timemachine I got the same above uerror message as dongiulio (German text, because I am using a German system).
Is there any possibility to get TM running ? What did they recommend to you ?

After Sync, Firefox often won't "Open Link in New Window"

It works fine on the 32 bit laptop but on the 64 bit desktop I usually have to try twice to get the page to open. It seems to work fine if I "Open Link in New Tab" just not a new window. Both computers run Vista and run FF5.0.

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

Firefox 12 won't open tabs; just new windows. What's up?

I just updated to the latest version FF 12. After the update I can't open tabs anymore. There isn't even a button to open a new tab. The "Open link in New Tab ..." command opens the link in a new window instead.
It doesn't seem like a configuration problem. I was just wondering if a patch or fix update will be coming out soon?
In the meantime I have to use Chrome as a backup, and it's kind of a drag. :(

Sorry, that's the first thing I tried. I checked all the options in the tools panel that could have an effect on tabs. Nothing fixed it.
It's a bug in the new update. They did something or forget to put something back in the latest build that was there before.
Tabs are broken.
Could someone post a download link to version 11. I'd like to uninstall and revert to the previous version. Because this one isn't ready yet.

Double-click won't open photo in new window

so double clicking a photo in my library used to open it in a separate window where i could have a closer look or edit the photo, only, now, when i double-click a photo, the separate window opens, flashes the photo for a millisecond and then appears and remains blank. anyone had this issue before? know how to fix it? happy days!

Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Cannot open Google search results in tab\same window\new window

Google search results are not opening in the new tab\same window\new window. 
It is happening only in Firefox, Internet explorer. It is working fine in chrome. 
I have tried many solutions like 
1. cleared cache, history,everything from browser's, still no result. 
2. opened in safe mode, no result. 
3. unchecked hardware acceleration, still no result. 
4. Other search engines it is working fine, only problem with Google search engine. 
5. Tried changing my DNS (Google open DNS, others), no result. 
6. Checked with antivirus blocking, nothing is blocking. 
7. Reinstalled browsers(Firefox, explorer) no result. 
8. Tried with different versions of browsers, including the latest updates ( Firefox,explorer), no result. 
9. while disabling Java in about:config it is working in Firefox. 
Please help me on this issue. 
Thanks in advance.

Google normally routs the result link to their safe browsing testing service via an onmousedown event that modifies the link (href attribute) if you click it once.
You can check if this bookmarklet makes a difference:
<pre><nowiki>javascript:(function(){var e=document.querySelectorAll('#search a[onmousedown]'),E,i;for(i=0;E=e[i];i++){E.removeAttribute('onmousedown')}})()</nowiki></pre>

Force iView to open in a new window when using NavigationTarget

Scenario - Portal Version 6.0 - NW2004 SP16 - WAS 6.40
A Custom iView is used to gain access to an application running outside of the portal. The user's credentails to the target application are recorded in the portal's UME via user mapping.
I want a user to be able to click a hyperlink to this iView that has been embedded in an email, and have the user gain access to the target application by 'going via the portal'. The url that I use is of the form:
http //<my_portal_server>/irj/portal?NavigationTarget=navurl://49a8add355f836061e6279f389cdc72e&open=/page&id=100&proc=10067&flag=1
This is working, the user is first taken to the portal's login page, and upon successful login to the SAP portal, user is then directed to the target iView, and is logged in automatically to the target application, and able to use the target application.
>BUT EVEN though the iveiw is configured to open in a new window it does not. It always opens in the main content area, and it always opens in this area in a height of about 40 pixels. The iView properties are set to FULLPAGE.
>If I invoke this iView using the portal's standard built in navigation, it does open in a new window
>It just won't open in a new window when using direct URL to the iView WHY?
How can I get the target iView to open in a new window under all circumstances?
Do I need to pass more information in the URL?
Are there a standard list of URL parameters somewhere that influence the behaviour of the NavigationTarget? I have seen reference to 'context', 'mode' etc but can't find a list of valid parameters?

Stop Firefox from reverting back to Google Search Results when opening a page from results list

When I click on one of the results from a Google search, I have it open the page in a new window. The page opens in the new window just fine, but instead of letting me view the page in the new window, Firefox takes me back to the Google Search results page. I am able to click on the new window and view the page that I chose, but it gets old being sent back to the search results each time I click on one of them and attempt to view it.
This happens on my work PC, home laptop, and my desktop at home as well. I have different versions running on each machine, and home laptop has the latest version of Firefox. I have searched the web and cannot find anyone having this same problem, much less a resolution, so I will ask here.
I hope this makes sense, if more info is needed please let me know.
Thanks to anyone that can help.

One reason for this can be if the new window contains Flash media, but Flash hasn't been used for several minutes, the Adobe protected mode feature changes the order of the windows. This is a bug that Adobe has yet to fix. This thread describes the problem in more details and lists the known workarounds: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/955659 Opening New Windows and Shockwave Flash].
If you rule out the Flash issue, could you test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?

Safari 5.0.2 doesn't save any more google search results in the history.

Hello together,
Safari doesn't save any more google search results in the history.
Steps to reproduce:
1.) go to google.com
2.) search for "APPLE"
3.) open the history
Result: the search for "APPLE" is not saved - only the Google mainpage.
This has something to do with the new search string in the Location bar. Safari does not save URL with /#.
For example:
the new string is http://www.google.de/#hl=...
the old one is: http://www.google.de/search?hl=....
The change must something to do with the new Google-Search-Feature. When I deactivate it, then google works with the old string and I found the searches in the history.
The second negative effect is, when you type "apple" into the location bar (after a search), the autocomplete shows the search result, but when you hit enter, you are redirected to the Google-Mainpage.
Very annoying
Can somebody confirm.
Thanks

As of this morning, I am being redirected to uk.gomeo when i click on google search results in Safari. Do I have a virus?

Hi,
First time poster and very non-techy person here. I am being redirected to urls starting "uk.gomeo..." when clicking on Google search results in Safari. Quick search on this seems to suggest I have a virus. Not sure what to do or how to get rid of it. Not sure what could have caused it either. Downloaded Acrobat update couple of days ago which took hours, and Twitter account was hacked about a week ago. All software updates up to date. Any advice much appreciated.
Thanks.

Sorry editing that way doesn't work anymore in Lion. But you can look and see if there are any google entries in it. If there are not any google entries you can ignore my posts. If there are try this:
Open terminal
sudo nano /etc/hosts
When prompted for the sudo password - The correct password is your own (the password of the user logged into OS X, also the password you provide when doing system updates and so on).
now you can delete the line(s) that contain google and save.
Using your arrow keys go to the line containing google. Delete the line. Do the same for all lines containig google.
if you have a problem deleting, do a control-x to exit, and reply n to the modified buffer question. To save your changes do a control-o and hit enter , then do a control-x to quit.
Note: normally you never edit the hosts file, but if you see google entries in it then a malware programs has added them. It has been happening with a bogus flash update, that installs flash and asks for your system password. SOmething that seem quite normal when installing software. This bogus flash update makes the hosts modifications adding their own IP adrress for google.
