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

How do I set Pages to automatically open all Word (.doc) documents?

Being a relatively new Mac User, I haven't yet figured out how to associate programs with particular file types.
How do I set Pages to automatically open all Word (.doc) documents?
Thanks.

Hello Argelius
If you select a word file in the Finder and do File>Get Info you will see a section in there where you can specify which application should be used to open files of that type.

When I clicked on a link, it opens into a new window. I would prefer that it opens as a new tab. Does anybody know how to change this? Thanks

You can look at the browser.link.open_newwindow prefs on the about:config page if you want to divert all JavaScript window.open() calls to a new tab.

When I click on a web link and hold down ctrl the page will not open into a new tab, it is just opening in a new window. How do I correct this?

When I use to hold down the ctrl key and left click on a web link, the page use to open into a new tab. For some reason this is not working anymore. Instead when I hold down the ctrl key and left click on a web link, the link will open into a new window. How do I fix this?

I figured out how to correct it. Not sure what exactly was happening. But I started into private browsing and then turned it off. It's been working correctly ever since I did private browsing.

Is there any way to search for a term using the Firefox search field, and have the results automatically open in a new tab?

Is there any way to search for a term using the Firefox search field, and have the results automatically open in a new tab? When there was support for Google Toolbar, I was able to do this; now, whenever I want to search for something, I have to open a new tab to do it, and cut-and-paste my search into the search field in the new tab. I used to be able to highlight, drag, and drop something into the search field and have it automatically open in a new tab. This is enough for me to switch to Chrome . . .

Set a preference to have searches from the Search Bar (upper right) automatically open all searches in a new tab
#type '''about:config''' in the URL/Location/Address bar and press the Enter key
#if you see a warning, accept it (promise to be careful)
#Filter = '''browser.search.openintab'''
#in the lower panel, double click the item (or right-click and choose "Toggle") to change the value to "true"
#close the about:config tab and test
#See:
#*For help with opening/using about:config, also see: http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config

About Google toolbar............
Google decided that they will no longer produce the Google Toolbar for Firefox 5 and newer version. It is best to move on to other alternatives than to try any "hacks" to the toolbar that may or may not perform in the future. Future versions of Google toolbar will only work with IE7-9. Google Toolbar is not available on any other browser, even Google's own browser.

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. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(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. 
''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.

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:
* NewTabURL : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2221
* 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 do I get all hyperlinks to open in a new tab instead of redirecting the open page?

Simply put, when I hit a hyperlink I do NOT want the page I'm on to go to the linked URL -- I want the new URL to appear in a new and separate tab. FF used to do this just fine -- until I "upgraded" to 5.0.1 yesterday.
Between this and the smaller screen size for the FF browser I'm thinking of jumping ship back to Chrome...
HELP!
Thanks in advance...

Hotmail opens in a new window because the code or set of instructions on the MSN website tells Firefox to open Hotmail in a new window. I would suggest you right click on the Hotmail button and left click on "Open Link in New Tab". This will open a new tab in the current window.

Can I get links to automatically open in a new tab just by clicking on them?

I've selected the option to: "Open new windows in new tab instead" from the options menu. For some time this seemed to open any link I clicked on in a new tab. For some reason this feature is no longer working and new links clicked on simply overwrites the current tab with the new page. I liked the feature of having links open automatically in new tabs. The option remains selected but it does not seem to be working.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== recently

Standard Firefox behavior is left-click will open a link or bookmark in the currently selected tab, over-writing whatever is in that tab. The definition for the option "Open new windows in a new tab instead" is:
''Open new windows in a new tab instead: This option preference controls whether ~~red:links from other applications~~ ~~blue:or from web pages '''which request to open them in new windows'''~~ are opened in a new window or a new tab in the most recent window. ''
See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Options+window+-+Tabs+panel
A '''middle-click''' on a link or bookmark will open in a new tab (middle-click = press the scroll wheel). '''Ctrl+left-click''' will also open a link or bookmark in a new tab.
See: http://www.mouserunner.com/FF_Shortcuts1Printable.html

How can I force a popup to open in a new tab instead of opening a new window?

I want to keep any links that I click from opening a new window, ie. if I click on a link in an open tab that opens a new window, I want it to open in a new tab instead. I am on Firefox 5.0.

You can look at the browser.link.open_newwindow prefs on the about:config page.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction (0)
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow (3)
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. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

Stop Right Clicks from automatically Opening link in new tab?

So Normally I would right click a link, scroll down to "Open link in new tab" or "Open link in new Window" ect ect. But now, before I can choose which option I want (tab or window) it automatically opens the link up in a new tab. it does it for every single link... Even if I just want to copy a link (left click and highlight) it will automatically open the link up anyway.. How do I stop it from doing that?!?! It is extremely frustrating.. I don't want everything I right click to be opened in a new tab
Thank you ever so much for any help!

Tried in Safe mode already and the problem still occurs.. I recently re installed windows on my laptop, and the only ad ons I have is flash block, ad block and adobe flash player. I tried with all disabled, as well as disabling all the extensions.. still same issue..
I'm sorry this might have been important issue but I am using a USB mouse. the touchpad/clicker on my laptop works normally.. I can right click with the touch pad and it gives me options instead of automatically opening it.. could it be an issue withe the USB mouse? Ive never had issuse with it before I re-installed windows. the usb ports are kept clean and the mouse has fresh batteries..

How can I force a link to open in a new tab on a Mac!?

On Mac, CMD + Click only opens a link in a new tab if that link is located on that same subdomain and domain. If the link goes to another domain or subdomain it will just ignore the click!!!
For example, on www.cnn.com I can CMD+Click on a number of article and they will open in a new tab. However, if the article is to a money.cnn.com or to some other website my CMD+click will be ignored.
Also, would be nice to do the same in gmail. Actually, in gmail the link opens in another tab, but you are forced into that tab, so again the expected behavior of opening in another tab while remaining on the current page is being ignored.
Seems to be an ongoing issue for a few years a no one has provided a decent answer other than install a plug-in. Also, several 'about:config' options I've read about only talk about behavior when opening a new window, nothing dealing with the ignored clicks.

guig2, thanks for the response, but I don't believe this will help. Of the TABs options in preferences the only possibly relevant one is to force a link that would normally open in a new window to open as a tab instead.
As for the plugin the two 'secret options' it talks about, I have already tried, which are basically a twist on the preference options.
It also seems from the reviews of the plugin that it doesn't always work, or doesn't allow you to select which site open in a new tab, which is what I want.
Is there some way to force firefox to interpret CMD+Click as a right-click->"Open in new tab," basically the context menu always works and is the expected behavior for CMD+Click (which doesn't always do this, possible due to the page modifying the behavior).

How do I get my hotmail to open in a new tab instead of a new window and I've tried the middle click/ctlr option.

MSN is my home page and when I click on the hotmail link in the top left hand corner of the page it always opens in a new window even if I press middle-click/ ctrl keys. The hotmail link is the only link that I have had this problem with thus far. Can you help me correct this problem?

Hotmail opens in a new window because the code or set of instructions on the MSN website tells Firefox to open Hotmail in a new window. I would suggest you right click on the Hotmail button and left click on "Open Link in New Tab". This will open a new tab in the current window.

Links that should open in a new tab now open in new windows and I don't know why.

All of a sudden my Firefox browser has started opening links that would usually open in a new tab come up in a new window. "Open new windows in a new tab instead" is still selected as it has always been, and unless someone has changed a setting on my laptop without my knowing I am pretty sure that I have not made this change myself.
