How do I get safari to open pop-ups in new tabs rather than in new windows?

Just recently I took my 13" MacBook Pro (Late 2010 Model) to my local Apple Store. When I brought it there they fixed my problem, but in the mean time they had to completely delete and uninstall Safari and Google Chrome off of my laptop. Before the apple store, my Safari would always open pop-ups and links in a new tab, now they open up in a new window. Does anyone know how to change it so they open in new tabs? The reason I need this changed is I might have unecessary websites open, and they would just be taking up space.
Thanks for your help,
–Dan

  • Openning a form in a new tab, rather than a new window

    I have a BSP application that generates a smartform as a PDF, then renders the binary data to a new window using CL_HTTPSERVER=>SERVER_CACHE_UPLOAD. This is working fine for creating a new window. But, i want to create the smartform output in a new browser tab, rather than a new browser window.
    Can this be done?

    Disregard... I guess it is opening a separate tab after all in FF.

  • How do you get bookmarks selected to appear in the full screen rather than the small window to the left

    When I click on a bookmarked site, some of them show up on the large screen to the right, but mostonly show up in the much smaller window to the left and are therefor useless. this is even when I've opened a new tab. I never had this problem before, but recently received a new computer and this is the result after downloading firefox in this computer.

    hello davinci2, please right-click any bookmark where this is happening, go to ''properties'' and make sure that they are not set up to open in the sidebar.

  • How do I get safari to open a pdf in window.

    How do I get safari to open a pdf in the browser window. A while ago I turned it off by typing  defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitOmitPDFSupport -boolean yes   into the terminal. Basically how do I undo that command

    Then do a "get info" on it (Apple Key with the letter "i" key)
    Select the "Open With" Box
    Change it to "Preview"
    Then select the box just beneath it
    "Change All."
    This should set your PDF's to be read with Preview.

    You have to choose that site as the homepage. To do that, open Safari, go to Safari menu (on the menu bar) > Preferences > General, and change the homepage by the one you want, so every time you open Safari, that website will show

    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that this Internet criminal has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

  • When i open a new tab, rather than the curser flashing in the url space it opens a new search page. how do i get the new tab to open at the url?

    when i open a new tab, rather than the curser flashing in the url window it opens a new search page. a new tab used to open at the url - how do i get it to do so again?

    A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
    If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.

  • PC related question.  How do I get iTunes to sync/backup/store to my D: rather than C: ?

    How do I get iTunes to sync/backup/store to my D: rather than C: ?

    A couple of options.  Do you want your whole library on the other drive or just media?  You can split media between drives starting with now, but this will be a big nuisance when you come to move your library in the future.
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

    The handle to the Step.Button1Label gets you the data, but there are several ways to get it into the actual report.
    The easiest is to use the reporttext.
    In a post expression, you can use something like
    Step.Result.ReportText = Evaluate("Step.Button" + Str(Step.Result.ButtonHit) +"Label")
    and then the default report generation will include it in the report. Otherwise, you need to get the text into the Resultlist by various means (check the user manual, or the TestStand II customisation course) and handle the report generation yourself inside of the appropriate sequence in the process model.

  • How can i have bookmarks automatically in a new tab rather than the tab i am in when i select a bookmark?

    How can I get book marks to automatically open in a new tab rather than the tab I am in when I select the bookmark?

    It would be good if this was made a user-defined Option (Tools -> Options -> Tabs) in the next update of Firefox rather than having to install an add-on. I currently keep Firefox open to view my Accuweather.com add-on running or because I know that I will be returning to Firefox in short order. (I do close Firefox if I have visited a sensitive or secure site to ensure better security.) Every time I want to go to a bookmark, I must open a new "(Untitled)" tab before selecting my bookmark using the keyboard (I'm a dedicated keystroker; it's much faster for me). This way, when I close the website, I have an "(Untitled)" tab displaying so that Firefox doesn't close. Why can't I set an Option parameter that will result in me not having to go through this? Alternatively, allow users to set an option to keep Firefox loaded and open in the event only one tab is open and maybe if only one Firefox application window is running (I avoid having more than one Firefox window open as much as possible). I've addressed this last issue in the past but have seen no change when one closes the last tab in a Firefox window. As general practice, I would think that Firefox would run better if options, like I have described above, were part of the Firefox application code and not given to needing an add-on which may cause instability in Firefox as they have in the past, even with author verification and certification.

  • The tabs I have open show as new tabs rather than the websites I had opened.

    I have a large number of tabs open in a window, and when I hit "restore previous session" to open them, they are shown as "new tab" rather than the websites I had opened. Prior to the previous two updates, I had no problem with this, but now it's a recurring issue on Firefox.

    Make sure that the history and possibly the disk cache are working.
    Do you see the history in the History Manager (Library; Show All History)?
    To see all History and Cookie settings, choose:
    *Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Options+window+-+Privacy+panel
    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.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).

  • How do I get Safari to open in Preview?

    I am using Safari 5.0.5; have downloaded Adobe latest version; checked on Adobe preferences/internet to use Adobe. But from Safari PDF files will not open. Get a black screen with no content. How do I get Preview to open PDFs from Safari and thereby avoid this problem. Interesting issue -- this only occurs on iMac with Snow Leopard; my MacBook Air, not using Snow Leopard, opens Adobe from Safari.

    Hi
    If you want pdf's opening in Safari, using the built-in support (not Adobe) then quit open browsers, go to HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ & remove any 'pdf' plugins. Occasionally, they're in Home/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
    If you really want Adobe to do it in browser, and the plugin is in place already - try opening Safari in 32 bit mode. Command-click it in the dock, then File-Get Info, & check the 32 bit box. Takes effect the next time Safari is started up.
