How to duplicate browsing windows, instead of reopening the home page, when opening new windows?

When any new browser windows are opened in Firefox, it reopens and re-reopens and re-re-reopens the home page instead of opening ANY new copies of ANY of the browser windows from which the command "New Window" was originally made.

Try this extension:
Clone window: http://www.pikey.me.uk/mozilla/?extension=cw

How do I make Firefox default to home page when open new Tab?

When I open a new tab/window its blank. I have Firefox open to my home page Google, and I want the new tab/window to default open to that if I haven't chosen a web site to go to in the new Tab/window.
Is there a way to make Firefox default to the Google page when I open a new Tab/window and dont specify a web site to open to ?
I am using XP PRO x64 with firefox 4.0 and everything else works fine... my default home page is the Google search page.

Install this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
After install and re-starting Firefox, go to Add-ons > Extensions, click Options next to New TabURL, set the options and/or enter the URL you want when you open a new tab, click Save.

You have multiple old Java Console extensions that Java did not clean-up during updates. You need Java Console only if you do Java programming/development or debug Java applets on web pages. You can see them in Add-ons > Extensions, '''''but you can not remove them from there'''''. Removing them will not affect the functioning of Java on websites. You can '''''manually''''' remove them, '''''if you do not do Java development work''''' to avoid future, possible problems/conflicts:

When I do a search, with MSN as my homepage, it pops up in a new window not a tab like it used to. MSN says it is Firefox related. How do I fix this? I have the option selected to open new windows in tabs instead and it still won't work.

<blockquote>Locking duplicate thread. 
Please continue here: [/questions/832115]</blockquote> 
I use Firefox 4.0.1 and have MSN set as my homepage. Recently, even with the option set to make windows open in tabs instead, if I do searches on the MSN page, the results pop up in a new window. I contacted MSN and they said it is something to do with Firefox. It didn't use to do this, even after initially upgraded to 4.0.1, but started about a week ago and even with me doing nothing to my computer. How do I get this to stop and go back to new tabs instead?
It does not do this using Google, AOL, Yahoo, or another other search, just MSN/Bing.

That's strange. It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is changing your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal? Also have you tried uninstalling & re-installing flash? If you need help un-installing Flash see http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html. You also could try safe mode. See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Safe+Mode .

How do I have my bookmarks appear within my home page when opening firefox

Dear Firefox,
After an embarrassing amount of frustration, I was able to sync my bookmarks from my desk top PC, to my new MacbookAir...so proud of me :) All of my 690 bookmarks are on my Macbook.
On my desk top PC, when I open Firefox, all of my bookmarks are immediately visible on the left side of my Firefox homepage which is yahoo.com. I would LOVE to have this identical manner of opening Firefox on my Macbook and seeing the bookmarks in their various folders, all on the left side of my opening homepage. As of now, I have to go to the top of my Firefox homepage and tap on "bookmarks"....I'm glad they are all there, but it would be awesome to have them displayed without the extra step. My thanks are yours,
Jeff

Thank you mha007, your suggestion has always been my "go to" when I was using my PC. Maybe I'm too "green" when it comes to my first Apple lap top....It didn't work for me when I clicked ....but here's what I ended up doing...I played....on my Macbook, I simply went to the very top Firefox bar. I went to "View", and scrolled to "Sidebar". Within "Sidebar", I clicked on "bookmarks"....and voila, it worked like a charm.
P.S. Guess what! Because of you I just tried something. On my Macbook, there is no CTRL button....there is a button that says the full word "control", and that's what I used along with "B"....it doesn't work. I just tried my Macbook button that says "command", and then tried the "B"....WOW, how easy was that....it worked! Thank you for responding to my post.

Fading background when opening new window

Fading background when opening new window. I would like to do a "lightbox" effect that on mouseclick opens a new window over the top of the other windows(s) that has a close button to take the user back to the previous page. I have viewed this in the past, but now cannot find examples. If you have URLS of examples, or better yet, code to make this happen, that would be helpful. Thoughts and opinions on why I shouldn't use this effect are also welcome!

If you need a lightbox effect, use one the freely available "lightbox" or modal window scripts.
Fancy Box is well documented and works with images, text, iframes, Google Maps, media, etc..

How do I forces FF 23 to open maximized, not full screen, but maximized, both on start up and when opening new windows?

Firefox 23 does not open maximized nor does it open new windows maximized. As such I have to manually maximize each window.
Run is set to maximized in the shortcut properties, yet it still opens in a normal or less than normal size window.
Older versions open maximized with no problem. I have Profile manager configured so that I can run multiple versions at the same time and everything opens maximized except FF 23.
is there some setting in the about:config interface or is this a genuine BUG in the latest version? Any help would be appreciated greatly.
Also can you tell me how to modify the title bar text/icon/etc as well as where to find the icon or portable network graphic (png) file for the main-window.ico or direct me to appropriate knowledge base articles for modifying both.

My localstore.rdf file was fine. The problem was caused by two plug-ins that Mozilla shows as being compatible with Firefox 23, when in fact they both cause undesired side effects.
Maybe the employees of Mozilla should actually test plug-ins before they allow them to be available for download or worse yet, recommend them.
And if any of the in-house developers had a clue they would stop removing old lines of code from Mozilla products so that new versions of Firefox would still be compatible with older plug-ins and extensions people would still like to use.
I had to remove recommended extensions and copy code from older versions of FF and NS and modify settings in about:config to allow older extensions to work to correct the problems and get Firefox to work the way I need it to. All in all I have over forty hours invested in modding FF at this point just to have it function the way it used to.
Unfortunately, since I still can't get buttons designed to open .URL links from the toolbar to work as they did in the past I have a feeling I'll be returning to older code sources to find more answers.
Lucky for me that I have every browser going back to NCSA Mosaic available to me, so every bit of code from the present till back before Mozilla existed is include in my knowledge base. It's a shame Mozilla doesn't keep such a reference available for it's users or apparently it's in house developers and staff.
Maybe I'll even re-enable the splash screen for Firefox since the only available plug-in for that doesn't appear to work with Version 23 either, even though once again the compatibility adviser says it does
It's truly sad that the result of Marc Andreessen's and James Clark's work and Netscape in general became the spawning Mozilla. What used to be a great browser and an acceptable replacement for Netscape, has become a joke. So much for all the hard work and effort made by Dave Hyatt and Blake Ross as well.
I guess that's what one should expect from the developers that are a part of generations X, Y, and Me. The attitudes associated with those generations show in the lack of thought, consideration, and ingenuity that have been a part the last several versions of FF, not to mention, the copying of features from Chrome.
When the only original idea to come out of Mozilla of late is to remove or disable features people have used and counted on for decades, the I don't care, I don't know, and me, me, me attitudes of so many from the aforementioned generations is truly evident in the last twenty incarnations of Firefox. Not to mention the attitudes and unhelpful nature of the responses users encounter when asking for help.

How do I change the default settings for opening new window?

Everytime I click on a link, new window would only open in new tab not new window. How would I change this default to open new windows instead of new tab?
Thanks.

HI,
From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Preferences (or Command + comma on your keyboard).
Click Tabs. You can set your preferences there.

Why won't the Tabs function work (Open new window in a new tab instead)??

My current problem is- - I'm running FF.32, and when I click on a link (in an email, article, webpage link... anything) it opens in the Current window... it doesn't open a new* window, or new tab (as selected)... it "closes" the current page and opens the clicked-on link or email... Unless* I right-click on it and Tell it to open in a new tab instead (but I have to right-click and tell it to do this). I don't think this is normal. What do I need to change..?

I think it is Firefox's default setting to open links in the current tab unless the site forces the link to open in a new window, or you explicitly open the link in a new tab/window.
You may need an extension like [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/ Tab Mix Plus] to open links like how you want.

When I close the browser and then re open it it does not go to the home page but opens to the last page that was open when I close it.

Every time We have been closing the browser for the last few days when we restart the browser, regardless of weather we shut down the computer or not, it reopens to the last page that was opened. I cleared out and deleted the history but it did not help.

Maybe you currently have your home page setting to "Show my windows and tabs from last time" instead of "Show my home page".

How do I set the home page for a new tab?

How do I set the web page for when I open a new tab? Whenever I open a new tab it goes to an error site which freezes my firefox browser for a while. How do I change that? I want to open new tabs with google being the home page. I need to set up the homepage for a new tab NOT a new window. Please help! !

If Google is set as your Homepage in Firefox you can middle-click ''(push down on the mouse wheel)'' to open Google in a new Tab.
Or, you can add the feature to Firefox where clicking the New Tab button on the Tab Bar opens your Homepage in a new Tab. 
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/
And if you have a different Homepage set, this extension allows for any page you set in the extension's options to open when you use the new Tab button.

Safari 5 Opens but no window comes up? Even after I click open new window.

So i downloaded Safari 5 form the update and then from the full download install.
My problem is...
Safari opens.
but no window opens.
I go to the top I click safari and go down to "Open new window"
Still nothing.
I click to quit safari.
It says "0,1,2,3 windows are open in safari do you want to quit anyway?"
(depending on how many times I clicked to open a new window)
but even tho it is sayign windows are open my computer doesnt show them anywhere.
any help people?

Hi,
Try launching Safari from your Applicatioms folder instead of the Dock.
If that doesn't help ...
Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues

What is the correct way to open new window with launchDialog & returnDialog

Hi,
JDev : 11.1.1.1.2.0
My current page url is http://127.0.0.1:7101/ThruputApplication/faces/Test.jspx?_afrLoop=21785535204821&_afrWindowMode=0&_adf.ctrl-state=d1x4f8z6p_9 and
From this page, I trying to open new browser window using command button's action method with below code
FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ViewHandler viewHandler =
facesContext.getApplication().getViewHandler();
StringBuilder strBuilder = new StringBuilder();
UIViewRoot dialog =
viewHandler.createView(facesContext, strBuilder.append("/reports/LPLReport.jsp?").append(sURL).toString());
Map properties = new HashMap();
properties.put("width", Integer.valueOf(500));
properties.put("height", Integer.valueOf(300));
AdfFacesContext afConetxt = AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
afConetxt.launchDialog(dialog, properties, null, true, null);
New browser window is getting open successfully but after opeing this new window if I do any operation such like selecting item from selectOneChoice or checkbox selection from the screen from which I have launce new browser window then is giving me below message.
Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page ?
There are one or more dependent dialogs open. Navigation from this page will invalidate any open dialogs.
Press OK to continue, or Cancel to stay on the current page.
I have also tried AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().returnFromDialog(null, null); to return dialog but its giving me below error:
<DialogServiceImpl><returnFromDialog> No 'DialogUsedRK' key available for returnFromDialog to do the right thing!

Please give me the solution so that I can stay on the screen and can continue with that screen after opening new browser window.
Currently after opening new window as mentioned above, I can't do anything. If I press ok button then it will give me login page and if I press cancel button then my screen component's state become invalid.

Thanks Frank,
We have resolved the issue. Cookies max age was set as current browser seeion in websphere.
After changing it as some max seconds, it is working fine.

Hiding/changing URL when opening new window

Any guidance on the following would be greatly appreciated.
I have a club website which is hosted on my freespace and addressed by redirection.
All the main pages show the URL at the top with the name of the club - as I would want.
However, if I set a link within one of those pages to open in a new window, then the URL shown at the top is the url to the page's location in my freespace and not the club.
Is there any way to specify what is shown in the URL area when opening a link in a new window in this way?
Thanks for any thoughts.

I have the the same problem bulvide has with version 3.6.9 (and with 4 beta 5). Instead of the gray page problem, now sometimes a new window won't open after clicking on the firefox icon on the taskbar (in the case of windows 7 64 bit, middle clicking, in vista left clicking). This only happens when I am watching a flash video stream from ustream for example.
A temporary fix for the problem is to disable OOPP in about:config. You can do this by typing about:config in the URL bar, typing dom.ipc in the filter bar and toggling the 4 true values to false.
Unlike bulvide, I don't have an issue with the speed of flash.

How can I create a working link from the home page to other pages?

Using iWeb, I created links on the Home page directed to other pages within my web site. The links are located in the main body of the Home page (on the right side) and are not included in the Navigation Menu. The links function correctly when I test them in iWeb, however, the links do not function at all after publishing to the internet.
Within the inspector, I have chosen, Link To: "One of my pages" and the appropriate page is selected.
The links within the gray rectangles do not function. The same links below the gray rectangle links go to a "Page Not Found" page.
See the home page at http://www.daleenstrom.com
How can I make these links function correctly?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I've found that using the "One of my pages" often doesn't work. Since you've published the site go to each page, copy its URL and use it for the hyperlink. I've found that to me more reliable.
Are those two links inside the shapes or just on top? Both of those items are one large image file. If you inserted the link in the shape be sure you've selected the text (might take a few clicks to get inside and select it) to use for the hyperlink. Also make sure there are no other objects overlapping each of the shaped with the hyperlinked text.
Also it appears that the entire text box is an image. Turn on iWeb's preferences to display the text image indicator:
Click to view full size
and then you'll see the following on any object that will be converted to text once published:
Click to view full size
The two links below work for me. Be sure to clear your browsers cache (CommandOptionE for Safari) and reload the page.

How to set new tabs to home page when opened

I have no problem setting up my home page, but new tabs open as blank pages. How do I set up Firefox to open new tabs to my home page, when I manually open a new tab?

"Donations" to add-on developers are not required. Add-on developers do appreciate donations from users since they devote their time and efforts '''''free of charge''''' to develop the add-on(s). Donations also help pay for costs incurred in operating a website and some have online help forums to help their users with support questions.
Tab Mix Plus is a great add-on, I use it and like it, but it is a bit "heavy"/large to install for just that one function. Tab Mix Plus performs many functions related to tabs and has many, many options that you can set related to tabs, including the one that your requested.
An add-on that is much smaller and is designed to perform that one function, opening a tab with the page you specify, is New TabURL:
*New TabURL: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
*After installation and restarting Firefox
*#Open the options (Add-ons > Extensions, click Options next to New TabURL)
*#Set your options and/or enter the URL you want to open in new tabs
*#Click "Save"
