How can I force a new window each time I click on Safari?

I am trying to set up a Mac for my parents with the same functionality as their old Windows box. In windows each time you click the IE icon it opens a new window. In Safari each time you click on the safari icon it just opens the current window you have open.
I know you can do a CTRL+N or use tabs but I am trying to set this computer up exactly as their old one. Does anyone know if there is a setting that will open up a new Safari window each time the icon is clicked in the Dock?

There is a way to do it, but it's not reliable due to the way that web sites create links on their pages. Some are coded with JavaScript, and that will override any behavior you might want.
It's not hard to just put your thumb on the Command key and click a link or a bookmark; it will produce the same result as the other way I mentioned, but without needing to download, install, and configure a third-party "hack". It also has the added benefit of having one finger always in position to Copy or Paste something.

  • When I key in control-n, how can I get a new window instead of a new tab?

    I would like to get a new window instead of a new tab when I key control-n or when I click on a link. Can I do this?

    '''Hey mickeyten'''
    1 way to do this is that Goto Options > Tabs > Here Uncheck this Option: '''Open a new window in a new tab instead'''.
    This will open a new window each time time for every New Link or New Tab you open.
    Hope this helps you alot.

  • I can't get Firefox to open a new tab each time I click on a link or favorite. It keeps loading onto the current tab.

    I went to Tools>Options>Tabs and entered a check mark next to the first entry, "Open New Windows in a New Tab Instead" but it still does not open a new tab each time I click on a link or one of my favorites. It used to way back in earlier versions of Firefox but hasn't for the past few iterations...am I doing something wrong or do I need to activate something else within Firefox?

    '''''"I went to Tools>Options>Tabs and entered a check mark next to the first entry, "Open New Windows in a New Tab Instead" but it still does not open a new tab each time I click on a link or one of my favorites."'''''
    That option only controls pages that would open in a new window based on the code on the website page you are visiting.
    Firefox's default is to open a link or a Bookmark in the currently selected tab.
    You have some options to have links and/or Bookmarks open in a new tab:
    *middle-click the link or Bookmark (middle-click = press the mouse scroll wheel)
    *CTRL+left-click the link or Bookmark
    *right-click the link or Bookmark and choose "Open in New Tab"
    *install one of the following and set the options to automatically open links or Bookmarks in a new tab:

    The "+" sign which opens NEW TAB has stopped working suddenly. I have to open a new window each time. I tried uninstalling firefox and installing again but the problem still persists. Somebody guide me on this.

    Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.

  • How can we open a New Window on click of a button

    Dear All,
    Please can anyone guide me how to open a page in A new pop up window.
    Application Express 4.0.1.00.03
    Thanks & regards
    Arif Khadas

    Assalamwalkeum Tauceef,
    Thanks for your reply.
    For the second query where you want to refresh parent window and close the popup window,
    Create a html region and give a condition to this region that it should display on a particular request and pass that request on your button click and write this javascript code in your Region SourceAccordingly I created a Region on the Calling Page and have the condition Request = REFRESH.
    Now my problem is on the pop-up window how can I pass the Request as the action when button pressed is Submit and I am using an SQL Insert Action.
    For such an action for button click the Request field is hidden.
    Also please help me through this one for setting the Item values in the pop up window:
    I have the following in Execute When Page Loads
      var total = 0;
      var inv   = '';
      var selected_inv = '';
      total        = opener.document.getElementById('P24_PAY_AMOUNT');
      selected_inv = opener.document.getElementById('P24_PAY_INV');
      $s('P23_RCP_AMOUNT_PAID', total);
      //setSessionValue ('P23_RCP_AMOUNT_PAID', total);
      $s('P23_INVOICES', selected_inv);
      //setSessionValue ('P23_INVOICES', selected_inv);The value that I am getting for the above Items is "     [object HTMLInputElement]" in Mozilla Firefox and "[object]" in Internet explorer, not sure why?
    Please guide.
    Thanks & Regards

  • How can I open a new window based upon input in an existing window

    Hi,
       I'm pretty new to LabVIEW and I've run into a slight problem that I having trouble finding information about.  My LabVIEW application will present a user with several configuration options.  Depending upon the options the user chooses, a new window/panel will need to appear with an entirely different set of options.  Is this possible?  If so, how?
    Thanks,
    Al

    Hi Al,
    you can call subvis in a case structure ("when button is true then call subvi"). In the subvi's properties you have to set "open front panel when called" and "close afterwards" (window appearance settings).

  • How can I open a new window for a (calculated) PDF?

    Hi,
    I have a BSP application with MVC. The start page is a HTML/HTMLB page with some buttons. If you click on the buttons, you get a PDF document in the same browser window. I generated the PDF over smart forms from table/Cluster data.
    I call the controller in the OnInputProcessing event handler of the page and give it the parameters.
    The problem: if you are on the PDF you cannot come back to the start page. I think, it is better, if the PDF gets a new window. The user can open on this way many PDF docs.
    I tryed with navigation->next_page(...) or call_view etc. but all this dosn't work. Only the PDF will be show and in the same window!
    Do I have to separe the application in two applications and use the CALL_APPLICATION method?
    Or does anyone know a better way?
    Thank you!

  • How can you open a new window in the new iTunes 11 ???

    In the old version, you can open a list in a new window. But I don't find this option in the iTunes 11 -.-  Can somebody help me ???

    Tony T1 wrote:
    Also, ⌘T for a new Tab (also File->New Window, File->New Tab)
    This is what I always use. You can also click on the plus sign at the far right, that will also give you a new tab/window. And if you want that tab to be a separate window, then once you've created it, just go up to that tab (avoid the little x that will appear--that deletes it), click on the tab, hold and drag it down. It'll leave the other tabs behind and become a window all on its own.

  • How can I open a new window with the same website like the one I have open?

    Hello Andieas
    Why open a new window for fast browsing??
    Open new tabs.
    Just right click on what you want to open and click "Open in new Tab"
    It is easy and doesn't consume memory from your computer as well as easy to navigate.
    Hope you'll like it

  • How can I get a new window to open in Front of the current window?

    There seems to be a related setting for new Tabs, but not for new windows. I fail to see why many people would want to open a new window, but then not want to use it right away. It seems the default should be open the new one in front.
    Thanks

  • How to get PDF files to open in 1 window, rather than a new window each time

    When opening several PDF files, I find they open up in a new window. Previosuly they opened within the same window.
    I am using Adobe Reader 9

    Thank you for your comments.
    Truthfully, I am shocked that this is the case and even more so that people didn't put up such a stink that Apple had to reinstate the old option. If I had to pick only one, which doesn't seem reasonable at all, I would choose the separate windows of old as opposed to the tabs.
    Thanks again for your help; I was really hoping that I wouldn't be disappointed.

  • How can I stop Firefox from 'talking' every time I click a new item on my laptop screen?

    Without my doing anything, all of a sudden my Firefox started talking every time I click something on my laptop screen. Example: I clicked the link that took me to this page. Firefox said "new window... Firefox menu ... Ask a New Question ..." I don't need this, it interferes with all that I do that requires my speaker turned on. How can I stop this?

    You can also manage all permissions on the about:permissions page via the location bar.<br />
    Use "All Sites" to set the defaults.
    You can open about:xxxx pages via the location bar like you open a website.<br />
    Firefox uses the about: protocol to access internal Firefox (setting) pages.
