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 firefox to open a pdf in adobe instead of the new pdf reader?

    Before the recent update, 19.0, I would google something and see [PDF] next to a link. I click the middle mouse button to open it in a new tab. Firefox would download the file and open it with Adobe Reader. I like this.
    With the new update 19.0, the pdf file would be opened in the new tab. I have to go and down load it and then open it in Adobe. I don't like this.
    I go into preferences under applications. I look to see if I can change this. Next to Adobe Reader document, I choose Use Adobe Reader, but when I click on a [PDF] link, it still opens the file in Firefox and not Adobe.
    I want it back to the way it was.

    You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the build-in PDF viewer and use the Adobe Reader instead.

  • I can't open a new tab up in the same window when I click the little + sign next to the first tab. How do I get that to work on FF4 for Windows Vista?

    I have a Sony Vaio labtop with Windows Vista, just updated to the new Firefox and now when I go to add a tab in the same window, it won't allow a new one. I clicked the + button/tab thing a bunch of times and nothing happens. What can I do to fix this? I'm not very computer literate so step by step directions would help alot. Thanks for any help.

    How can I set home page for a new tab? how can i get firefox to open the home page every time i open a new tab in Windows vista home basic??
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Firefox can have multiple home pages if you wish. Each home page that will open when starting Firefox is separated by the "|" character.
    See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
    To have new tabs open a specific web site, add one of the following extensions:

  • How do I get firefox to open pdf files with Adobe reader instead of google?

    Firefox is unsucessfully using google to open pdf files.  How do I get firefox to open pdf files with Adobe reader?

    "Google" is a search engine (website) and NOT (repeat: NOT) a PDF viewer. It can't and won't open PDFs in any real or imaginable way.
    Firefox added their own proprietary PDF viewer with version 20 - they're on 21 now. I'll be the first to admit "it sucks". You CAN'T fill in PDF forms with it, and you can't email them from the page like with Opera, Safari or Chrome (which use the reader plug-in still).
    Unfortunately, the ONLY option you have now that they've added it and killed the ability for the Reader plug-in to work with Firefox, is Tools>Options>Applications - select Portable Document Format(PDF) and choose "Use Adobe Reader (Default)". What that will do is FORCE Firefox to download the PDF instead of opening it in their terrible PDF viewer in the browser window.
    Or... use one of the other browsers I mentioned. They're all free.

  • In my received emails, how can I get Firefox to open URL links that begin with "click."?

    In my emails, how can I get Firefox to open links that begin with the word "click."? Instead of giving the me the message that says, for example, "Firefox can't find the server at click.americas.links.hp.com." This also happens when I try to open the links using Explorer.

    This link was not valid when I clicked it. Please contact the person sending these links they do not seem to work. The page takes me to a page that says it will load after 5 seconds, however there is not valid link.

  • How do I ensure that Firefox will ALWAYS open a new tab instead of a new window?

    My prefs are set to “open new windows in a new tab instead” of a new window but exporting a page from another application always opens the page in a new window instead of a new tab. This is particularly unproductive when building and comparing multiple web pages.

    Thank you again Silkphoenix and cor-el for a fast and simple workaround. I was in full vertigo mode on the developers page, and couldn't find anything that I could figure out how to adapt on the command line page, so “tab tag” will do nicely until something else comes along.
    You are very welcome, Silkphoenix, but don't be so sure that a name has to have anything at all to do with the nature of a business. I made a nice living as a B2B ad agency for huge concrete producers and military contractors while doing business as “Churchmouse”. I foolishly changed my d/b/a after the emcee choked on the name when I was about to address a marketing group of 25 $50M businesses in Toronto--completely forgetting that I already had the account! All worked out well with the new, more professionally evocative name, but I wish that I had kept the old name too. So go get yours now! But also be aware that someone who trademarks and uses the name after you can possibly take your domain away from you through an agency called WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization) in Switzerland. I'm not an attorney, so this is just business advice: WIPO is a good organization that provides a much needed and very valuable service, but it can sometimes hurt, so USE the name that you buy as a domain...

  • How do I Safari to open a new file in a new tab instead of a new window?

    I've been experimenting with Safari recently. One of my primary uses of a browser is to run an application -- yes, run an application -- known as TiddlyWiki. TiddlyWiki is described as "a reusable non-linear personal web notebook," but it is actually much more. Being a non-techie user it's hard for me to describe what it is, and I couldn't begin to describe the many different ways people have put it to use.
    If you're not familiar with it and are curious, this is the place to start:
    http://www.tiddlywiki.com/ You can learn more about it here: http://tiddlywiki.org/wiki/Main_Page And though it's a bit dated now, you can see examples of some of the things people have done with it here: http://giffmex.tiddlyspot.com/
    All that by way of an unfortunately but necessarily complicated lead-in to my question. I usually have several TiddlyWikis running in my browser at once. With Firefox all were accessible by tabs from within a single window. Unfortunately, it appears Safari won't let me do this. It opens each new instance in a separate window, so that all the others are hidden behind the one in the current window. Not very convenient.
    So, my simple question: If you have the faintest idea what I'm talking about, is there any way I can force Safari to open each instance of TiddlyWiki under a new tab in the same window?
    I appreciate Safari's speed, and the relative cleanliness of its interface. However, and perhaps this is just being stuck in my ways from Firefox, I really don't like the way it handles tabs. I'd like to have the open of telling it to open each new link, application, whatever, in a new tab in the same window.
    I have a suspicion I'm not going to get what I want, but I thought I would give it a try and see. Thanks for putting up with my long-winded vaguery, and if you should have any suggestions, thanks for them, too.
    Sincerely,
    Eric Weir

    I misunderstood. You want Safari to open files on your hard drive in tabs in your already open Safari window.
    For simplicity, let's assume all the local files are located on your Desktop, and that your home folder is named Eric. Let's assume one of the local files is called foo.html.
    Then you should be able to type in the URL
    file:///Users/Eric/Desktop/foo.html
    and the file should load. Click the + sign and add that URL as a bookmark on your Bookmarks Bar. Then you should be able to command-click that bookmark to open the file in a new tab instead of a new window. You could then do the same for all the local files, and then put all the bookmarks in a folder on your Bookmarks Bar.
    Neat. It never would've occurred to me. I'll check it out.

    P.S. Again, the thread got designated as "solved" before I had a chance to give you credit for being helpful, which I had intended to do.

  • How do I get firefox to open a new window when i click on a link in a webpage ?

    When I click on a link in a webpage in Firefox, generally it opens the new page in the window i am in (though some times it does not). How do I get it to open a new window (or tab) each time I click a link.
    For example, on www.bbc.co.uk if I click on a link, the new page opens in the same window, if I then click another link in the new window, again, it opens in the same window. To get back to the original window, I have to use the back button twice. Surely there is a setting so that all 3 windows can be open on separate tabs or separate windows.
    I have been to the tabs window in options, but doesn't seem to make a difference.

    Open link/bookmark in new tab in same window:
    *Middle-click (press the mouse scroll wheel) the link
    *Ctrl+left click the link
    *right-click the link, choose "Open Link in New Tab"
    Open link/bookmark in new window:
    * Shift+Enter on the link
    * Shift+left click on the link

    How to get Firefox to open automatically each time I turn on computer.

  • How do I get Firefox to open when I dial up to connect to the internet, instead of internet explorer for the internet service provider?

    I have a dial up connection for the internet through Netzero.com, and when I click on it to dial up to the internet, it brings up the Netzero home page on Internet Explorer. I've changed my default home page from Internet Explorer, to Firefox, but when the internet is connected, Internet Explorer is the one that brings up the Netzero home page, not Firefox, so I have to click on the icon for Firefox, and then it opens, with Netzero home page on it, so I have to go through 2 different processes to get to use Firefox. I downloaded Firefox because it's suppose to be faster that Internet Explorer, especially since Internet Explorer keeps not responding when I'm in the middle of doing something. So I thought I'd try Firefox, but it doesn't seem to be faster than Internet Explorer, since the ISP that I have has a web accelerator, but it doesn't work on Firefox for some reason, I can see on a meter on my desktop when it's accelerating, and Firefox doesn't accelerate ever, if I change over to Internet Explorer, I can see the meter accelerating the web page. Hope you can help me with this problem, as I like Firefox. Thank you very much.

    Try changing firefox to the default browser: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Setting_Your_Default_Browser]. That will probably get firefox to open when you dial up.
    I'm not sure what you mean by "the meter accelerating the web page". Can you explain that?
    Thank you

  • How can I get firefox to open a powerpoint online instead of downloading it ?

    Whenever I save a powerpoint presentation from a web page, it automatically downloads on my mac. How do I get it to open the powerpoint instead of downloading it?

    Make sure that the file has the .html file extension.
    That should be sufficient.
    Windows hides some file extensions by default.
    Among them are .html and .ini and .js and .txt, so you may only see file name without file extension.
    You can see the real file type (file extension) in the properties of the file via the right-click context menu in Windows Explorer.

  • How to I get firefox to open my email on a separate window or tab maximised

    ''duplicate of - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/898304''
    I want my email to open maximised in a new window or new tab so only the new open email window / tab is visible over the screen area (maximised).
    Edit: Can Anyone tell me how I can keep track of my questions?
    I spent a good bit of time locating it, thanks.

    Middle-click or {Ctrl + click} a link to have it open in a new tab.
    Or, right-click the link and select '''Open Link in a New Window''' (or New Tab).
    Window size isn't going to change when opening a link, if you want it Maximized, that is a separate click if the original window isn't already Maximized.
    Full Screen is window by window, and is toggled by '''F11'''.
