Hotmail (only) now opens in a window not a tab

As of yesterday - with NO downloads or updates to anything having been made - MSN.com opens Hotmail (when I click the link from that page) in a new window, not a tab. Any link in any email, however, opens in a new tab in the original window. When I og out of Hotmail, it returns me to MSN so the process gets repeated every time I start Firefox & it loads my normal set of tabs. Why has this suddenly started? How do I fix it (return to opening Hotmail in a tab)?

Thanks for the 'scroll wheel' suggestion - that does work. However it does not answer what bugs the hell out of me as a four-decades' experienced software designer/coder who's overly cautious about downloading, installing, upgrading, etc et al - having done none of those things, WHY has this suddenly (and thus inexplicably) begun happening? I'd love to blame it on MS since they so often 'tweak' their stuff (he said overly politely), but...

    Tabs only open in a new window. Ctl T opens a new window NOT a new tab help-last update this problem started 2 days ago. How do I set FF back to open tabs in 1 window?
    There is no plus sign and going into optins and changing settings has not worked. I have uninstall FF and reinstall-keeping my personalization-and that was no help.
    Right clicking on FF Icon to open a new tab, or going up to FF drop down tab and clicking on new tab both do not work.
    Help everything opens a new window not a new tab. there seems to be no way to reset this or to chose a different optin. I just downloaded new tabs at end addon and it didn't do a thing.

    as a first troubleshooting step - does it work like normally when you open & run firefox in [[Safe Mode|safemode]] by pressing the shift key while you open firefox (all other instances have to be closed before)...

  • How do I set Firefox to open new windows in a separate window (not in tabs)?

    How do I set Firefox to open new windows in a separate window (not in tabs)?

    Click the orange Firefox button, and click "Options". This will bring up a new window with a "Tabs" tab at the top. Click that. There will be several checked boxes, including one called "Open new windows in a new tab instead" up at the top of the list. Uncheck that box and you should be good to go.
    ETA: This should also work if you click "Tools" and "Options" within your version.

  • Command-T opens new window not new Tab with Snow Leopard

    Does anyone else have this issue? Command-T opens new window not new Tab with SL.
    And yes all my settings are correct!!

    Greetings,
    If your preferences for Tabs are correctly set (the top two checkboxes are checked) and it's still opening a new window, then it would seem your preferences may be corrupt. In that case, you should quit Safari, go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete the com.apple.Safari.plist file.
    Then restart Safari, setup your preferences again, and test to see if it works.

  • When i type a url, it open this url every time "chrome://browser/content/browser.xul" and it open the new window in a tab. Please help

    or when i tri google search, this url is automatically open and open a new window inside a tab.

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?<br/> ''A troubleshooting mode.''<br />
    You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut. Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.''
    If not, see this: <br />

  • The "+" appears on the left side of the open tabs, when I re-open a closed window. The tab that should be first on the left doesn't have a tab!

    The "+" appears on the left side of the open tabs, when I re-open a closed window. The tab that should be first on the left when the window is re-opened doesn't have a tab! If all the other tabs are closed, the webpage appears, but still has no tab! If more tabs are then opened, it is again inaccessible without closing all tabs!

    In Finder, go command - F. On the top left set "Kind" to Date Created, finish selecting the criteria and hot "Save" on the top right. You'll get a new smart folder with an option to add it to the sidebar.

    How do I get firefox 4.0.1 to open in separate windows instead of tabbed browsing? Thanks!

    (If you have the orange Firefox button, tap the Alt key or press F10 to display the classic menu bar.)
    Tools > Options > Tabs
    Uncheck the first checkbox.
    Hopefully that's all you need, but if it doesn't work, let us know.

  • Hotmail opens new window not new tab

    I have used firefox for a long time and had no problems. Now, all of a sudden when I open my bookmarks or hotmail they open a new window and not a tab. I never changed anything to make this happen it just started happening. I turned my computer on and restarted it but it didn't help. I already tried different things and then I went on firefox support and I read my problem on the forum and what I should do about it. (I have a mac) Someone said to go to about:config and then go to browser.link.open_newwindow and chage it to 3 but when I typed in about:config it says warning this could void your warranty do not go here unless you know what you're doing! Needless to say, I got scared and stopped!!

    You posted with an old and no longer supported Firefox 3.0.6 version.
    You should update to a more recent Firefox 3.6.6 (or 3.5.10) version.
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    To open the ''about:config'' page, type '''about:config''' in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

  • I can only open up one window with multiple tabs; right click "open in a new window" does not work. I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled Firefox with same results.

    Just bought a new i5 laptop and am transferring files, etc onto new box. Last night I had two separate Firefox windows up. I downloaded Nexus Ultimate late and rebooted this morning. I had to restart Firefox then, and it did not save my settings/tabs as I prompted it to do when it shut down to reboot.
    I uninstalled Nexus and wasted many hours trying to resolve this, including two failed system restores (looks like Nexus is a dirty little bugger) Windows Explorer will open up multiple windows. Firefox will not. Help.

    Have you tried: click Firefox button > New Tab > New Window '''''OR''''' CTRL+N '''''OR''''' File > New Window (if using the Menu Bar)
    Once open, Firefox locks the Profile that is in use and you can not open another window with that Firefox version and Profile combination using the Windows Desktop icon or the Windows Programs list.

  • How to open a link in a Window NOT a Tab in OS X Mountain Lion

    For those of you who Hate having links open in tabs, especially when you have a window open and minimized to your doc.  The link will take that
    minimized window and use it to stick a tab in it and then open the link........WHAT A PAIN!
    Here's how to avoid that problem and have the links open in a Brand New Window.
    Safari/Preferences/Tabs
    Uncheck both boxes
    Now, the instructions below change to window instructions (not tab instructions)
    See the little window to the right of:  Opens pages in tabs instead of windows:  Click the little arrows and select NEVER! 
    Now you have to insert a checkmark in the 1st box:  (Butterfly) - click opens link in a new tab
    The below instructions will revert back to tab instructions, Do Not Worry.  All Is Good.
    The fact that you have selected NEVER, means that NOW, the links will open in Brand New Windows!  Yeah!!!
    Close the Preference Window and click away.

  • How set up multiple homepages to open in a separate window (not a tab) when desired...

    I would like to setup and be able to click on a Firefox profile (I assume profile) or pass parameters to the firefox.exe and have firefox open about 6 separate windows (not tabs) set to different home pages.
    If I use the Pipe Symbol in Options, it will open separate tabs but also ause the probelm below which I also would like to solve.
    A lot of times I also want to run another instance of firefox by clicking on the Firefox icon in my quick launch tray and DO NOT want it to open up all of these sites again.
    How is this best achieved?
    In the past I just opened up each site individually in its own window.
    Thanks very much

    You can create multiple shortcuts on the desktop and include the URL to the command line and use the -new-window switch to specify a new window.<br />
    You need to use the -new-window switch for each URL (-new-window URL1 -new-window URL2).<br />
    If the command line gets to long then you need to use a CMD file to store the full command line (start "" firefox.exe -new-window etc.).

  • Keyboard shortcuts: adding service to open a Terminal window not being saved

    Hi
    Objective: A shortcut to open a terminal window with the path of the 'in-focus' Finder window (Mavericks).
    Solution (that doesn't work): Apple Menu/System Preferences/Keyboard
    Select: Shortcuts
    Select: Services
    Check box for: New Terminal At Folder
    Close System Preferences
    This approach seems to be advised on quite a few sites. When I do it, the service I add simply doesn't get saved. I go back into the System Preferences and look under the path above and see that the box for New Terminal Åt Folder is unchecked.
    Any help in being able to achieve my objective would be greatly appreciated :-)

    Those things are saved as part of the workspace. It sounds as if the current workspace file has become corrupt. Close ID, then go to your user profile and you'll find the workspaces folder under \Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\Version 6.0\<language>\Workspaces. Delete the "current" xml file for the workspace and restart ID. The workspace will be restored to the conditions set when it was saved, but hopefully will remember changes again when you close the program.

  • Open new tab now opens a new window every time

    Every time I try to open a new tab in my browser - either by using the keyword shortcut or the option under the file menu it just opens a new window.
    This must be a bug in the new Firefox as I just upgraded and it is a new issue.
    Very annoying!
    Does anyone have a work around until Firefox sort this out?
    Thanks
    Joel
