How do i make webpages open with a new tab everytime

I'm sure this is a goofy question but how do I make FF open webpages in a new window or tab when I click on a bookmark?
I know I can right click and do it manually but is there a way to make a favorite open in a new tab when I click on it?
Thanks,
Dean

  • How do i make links open in a new tab

    Hi There,
    Can someone please tell me how to get iWeb to set pages to open on a new tab when links are clicked.
    Like when someone is viewing my website, I want the links in that website to open in a new tab within the web-browser when someone clicks on them. I know I can make links open in a New window but how do I make them open in a new tab.
    Thanks a bunch
    Jason

    There is no HTML command to open windows in tabs.
    Only these commands are available :
    target="_blank"
    target="_top"
    target="_new"
    Opening a new page in a tab is decided by the browser preferences.
    In Safari : Preferences > Tabs

  • How to force links to open in a new tab everytime?

    Hi,
    I don't want to have to hold down buttons on my keyboard. When I click a link I wish it to always open in a new tab window like it does for me in internet exploder. How do I accomplish this in Safari?
    Thank you for your time.

    I'll never get used to having to use a hotkey to get something to show up in a new tab, that much I can say for certain. And I've not yet moved completely away from IE. IE unfortunately has activeX scripts that some automobile manufacturers internal sites use that I must access daily and they only work with the I.E. browser, so even trying to go to their sites with a browser like Safari only produces a page that says you must be using the latest I.E. browser due to bla bla bla.
    Its hard to make the switch 100% when your up against these huge auto mfg's that wont be switching to any other browser anytime soon. Even trying to use some browsers that spoof the site into thinking they are the latest I.E. browser does no good since they can't use the activex controls on the pages.
    I also severely miss having my mouse gestures. I use them extensively in I.E. to navigate back and forth and to close windows etc. Has anybody seen any mouse gestures for safari yet? I could use them more than having windows open in new tabs even. Also safari is still a bit unstable, I've had it crash about 5 times tonight, compared to Internet Exploder which crashes about once per day.

  • How can I make textedit start with a new (blank) document?

    How can I make textedit start with a new (blank) document?
    Instead of it starting up with a dialogue box to select an existing or start a new document.

    @Alley_Cat thanks for the ideas.
    I turned off System Preferences > iCloud > Documents&Data - problem solved.
    I'll use DropBox instead  - it provides the options for a better experience.  I hope Apple keep working on iCloud so that it doesn't go the way of Moble Me.

  • When I open a second browser window (Firefox 5) it does not open to my homepage. It opens with a "New Tab".

    The first time I open a browser window in Firefox 5 a tab opens to my homepage which is what I want. Any browser windows that I open after that open with a "New Tab" and a blank screen. I need to press the "open a new tab" button to get to my homepage.

    Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 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 />
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

  • I would like the window that opens with a new tab to be my home page. Instead it's YAHOO and I don't like it. How do I fix this so new tab is homepage?

    When I Ctrl+t to get a new tab it opens with YAHOO as the page. I would like it to open my HOMEPAGE.

    You can look at one of these extensions:

    * New Tab Homepage : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/777
    You may need to check other extensions if they are overriding the page that opens in a new tab.

  • How to get pages to open in a 'New Tab' instead of a 'New Page'

    Hi there,
    I know how to get the pages of my iWeb created site to open as a 'New Page' by using the Inspector. What I want to do however, is to get them to open as a 'New Tab' instead.
    I want to do this because I have several pages that open as a 'New Page' and it litters the screen with Safari pages. So instead of a 'New Page', I want them to open as a 'New Tab' within the one Safari window.
    This is what I want to happen:
    1: user clicks on link
    2: link opens a new Tab
    3: Safari switches to the new Tab and makes it the active Tab.
    Can someone please tell me how to get this to happen. Just ot be totally clear: I am aware that I can alter [MY] Safari settings to do this on my own Mac. But I want it to happen as default for everyone who visits my site and clicks on the corresponding links.
    My site is published to MobileMe
    Regards
    Jason

    Window 7.
    Safari.
    Where is iWeb involved?
    Right-click > open link in new tab.
    Works with all webpages, not only iWeb ones.
    And if it drives you crazy, you may want to seek professional help with medication.
    Or learn to use your computer.

  • How do I stop pages opening in a new tab that I haven't clicked on?

    This page keeps opening in a new tab on my browser even though I have not clicked on anything.
    It is very annoying and manages to open the new tab and put it as the active tab.
    I have pop ups disabled and new tabs which open are not supposed to take over the tab that is active.
    The page is http://life-localized.com/prize/uk/index.htm?t202id=315925&c1=ams1CL_flZT93rCCFxACGJ2v4ZyQlYyNdSIMOTIuMjkuMjI4LjI3KAE.
    Please help

    hello, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by malware on your pc. please go to firefox > addons > extensions & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and do a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and also with different tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes].

  • How do I make file 'Open with...'?

    I have been working on graphic files. I want to open my graphic files in Photoshop Elements. It is possible to change the 'open with' option by going to Get Info... and selecting 'open with'...But, that only allows you to open a file with a particular application until you make a change in the file, then after that, it will continue to open with Preview. I want to change the 'Open with' to be permanent, at least until I want to change it. How do I do that?

    Right click the file, select Get Info. Scroll down the lefthand side bar to Open With, select PhotoshopElements to open the file and click the button marked Change All.

  • How do I make safari open with blank page but keep resume?

    Since Lion, Safari always opens with the last opened website.
    I don't want that! How can I make sure that Safari opens
    with a full and BLANK screen ???
    Specifically I do NOT want to uncheck resume function for ALL
    applications. I want to FORCE Safari to open a specific website,
    or a blank page - REGARDLESS if resume is on or off !!!
    My computer doesn't do what I want!
    Is this a ALPHA version???

    Here you go:
    Go to terminal and type in the following:
    defaults write com.apple.Safari ApplePersistenceIgnoreState YES
    If you decide that you rather have the new resume behavior, execute the above commands but change YES to NO
    You can also do the same for Preview:
    defaults write com.apple.Preview ApplePersistenceIgnoreState YES

  • When I click for a new tab, how can I make it open with google as opposed to it being blank?

    The new tab always opens (untitled) with no www address. I would prefer it to open with google but cant find this option.

    You can look at one of these extensions:

  • How can I make firefox open with certain tabs?

    I'm looking to make is so every time I choose to open Firefox, a few selected tabs open. For example, I open Firefox and a tab for Facebook opens, and tab for Twitter, a tab for news, etc. Wondering if there's a way to do this.

    You can add the URLs separated by spaces to the target file of a (copy of) the Firefox desktop shortcut.
    *https://developer.mozilla.org/Command_Line_Options
    If you exceed the maximum length the use a cmd file instead to start Firefox.
    * start "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" <url1> <url2>

  • How do I make firefox start with previous session tabs open by default?

    I basically want Frefox to start with the same tabs and URL locations as they were when I previously closed Firefox.

    Click the Firefox menu button or Edit in the classic menu, then select Preferences, select the General tab, and under the Startup heading select "Show my windows and tabs from last time".

  • How to change the page that opens with a new tab to the default thumbnail screen?

    Some nefarious add-on appeared, so I deleted it. But I'm still left with it's search engine as my new tab page, instead of the default page with the thumbnails, which I infact really like.
    This has happened before, and I don't know how to get rid of it without resetting Firefox and losing all of my bookmarks (I know I can back them up), cache and other shizzle.
    So, how do I restore my new tab page to default?

    *1<BR>
    '''''Download the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/ Mozilla Search Reset]'''''<BR><BR>
    This add-on is very simple: on installation, it backs up and then resets
    your search preferences and home page to their default values,
    and then uninstalls itself. This affects the search bar, URL bar
    searches, and the home page.<BR><BR>
    *2<BR>
    Open a new window or tab. In the address bar, type '''''about:config'''''.
    If a warning screen comes up, press the '''''Be Careful''''' button.
    This is where Firefox finds information it needs to run.
    At the top of the screen is a search bar. Enter '''''browser.newtab.url'''''
    and press enter. '''''browser.newtab.url'''''
    tells Firefox what to show when a new tab is opened.
    If you want, right click and select '''''Modify'''''. You can change the
    setting to;<BR><BR>about:home (Firefox default home page),<BR>
    about:newtab (shows the sites most visited),<BR>
    about:blank (a blank page),<BR>
    or you can enter any web page you want.<BR><BR>
    The same instructions are used for the new window setting, listed as
    '''''browser.startup.homepage'''''.

  • HOW TO CHANGE A PAGE THAT AUTOMATICALLY OPENS WITH A NEW TAB?

    whenever i open a tab a web page opens which is not my home page how to change it?

    There are lots of people who think you want something other than a blank page for a new tab. It would be helpful if you could give a url or describe the hi-jacking page that appears instead. It is probably an extension. Does the problem occur in "Safe Mode" which you can test out via
    * Alt+H (Help) > Restart with Add-ons disabled...
    type about:config into the location bar then filter on the url that you see
