How to have url open in new tab?

when entering a url in the navigation toolbar how can I have it open the url in a new tab?

Hi, thanks for the reply but i can never remember all these special keyboard shortcuts. There are thousands of them out there, all i would like it to hit the standard " command T " and have the tab open in the same URL I will try to get used to it and see if it sticks but due to restrictions like this in firefox i mostly use safari these days. So since i only use firefox from time to time i will probably forget the shortcut. I have heard there is a way of changing the firefox program so that it does this, i tried changing one of the settings in the about:config settings but it did nothing so i changed the values back again.
I'm sure there is a way

I can't type in the web address in the address bar. I have to open a new tab to do it.

I just upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7. I reinstalled firefox, added the speeddial that I liked so much, and then tried to use firefox. I can't type the web address into the address bar when I start firefox. I always have to open a new tab before it'll let me do it. Also, I can't highlight and copy what's typed there - AND I can't "paste and go" anymore. Is that open gone?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] 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).

Somehow your bookmarks that normally appear on the separate Bookmarks Toolbar (the part on the left) got onto your main Navigation Toolbar. To move them back, return to Customize mode and drag "Bookmarks Toolbar Items" to the Bookmarks Toolbar. Then click Done and hopefully that will stick.

How to make link open in new TAB and not new window

how can this be done for WIndows users?

I'm not totally sure what you mean, because unless you are talking about not having to right-click a link first, that is prasisly what I do. the link you provided I just right clicked it & clicked on "open in new tab" ,& that's what it did.
- But now because that was so easy to answer, I can only assume you mean not actually having-to right-click a link to open it up in a new tab. ,hope this helped.

13.0.1-I have probs on FB trying to click on notifications with photos-or to click on photo from the newsfeed. Photoviewer doesnt work, have to open in new tab.

It seems ever since I downloaded FF 13.0.1 I've been having problems with FB. When I use IE, everything works fine, though (however, I prefer FF to IE) -- NONE of these are issues on IE. When I try to click on a photo notification from FB it no longer will bring up the Photo Viewer Pop-up, it does nothing at all. When I try to click on any photos in the newsfeed nothing happens. I have to right click on the photo and open it in a new tab to be able to view it. Also, individual message (threads?) never ever load - it will just constantly show the "busy loading animation" and never come up. On FB walls, it won't let me scroll down because it won't load any posts past the initial page load! It's extremely frustrating, especially because this issue seems limited to FF. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in Safe Mode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.

Just updating this thread with the solution in this case.
Solution: Go into your template and remove the reference "_blank" which is causing this to open in a new tab.

Why can't i drag text/link to the tab bar and have it open a new tab?

Whenever i drag highlighted text, drag a URL, or drag a link to an image/video to the tab bar nothing happens. Previously FF would open this as a new tab, but i can't seem to find out what is wrong.

''in Chrome you can drag a text to a new tab and Google(or your default search engine) gives you the search results of that text in that new tab''
''Sometimes it works, sometimes it randomly opens a nonexistent .com-less url or appends .com for no reason.''
Nothing happens when I drag text and drop it on a tab or the new tab button. Do you need to wait for the tab to display and then drop it on the address bar?
Two alternatives might be:
(1) Right-click selected text, then choose Search Google for... to open a search in a new tab
(2) Hold the Alt key while dragging and dropping the selected text onto the search box/search bar to open a search in a new tab

Can't open Youtube videos with a left click. Have to open in new tab/window to view.

When on Youtube, I can't open videos by clicking on them when in the search result page. I have to open them in a new tab or window. All other elements work on the page. Once the video is open in the new tab I am able to play it. Embeded links work. It is only on Youtube itself. Fine in Safari. Only experiencing this in Firefox.

ICE is there a way to allow my client to make External URLs open in new tabs?

Hi.
I have a set my client's site up with lots of editable regions so they can manage content. Although the InContext editor is great for letting my client link to internal pages, documents and external pages I couldn't find where they would select the external URL to open in a new browser tab. Obviously I can go back in and add the html to their links but is there a way they can set the target?
Cheers

The sessionstore.js file only exists while Firefox is closed. During shutdown, Firefox writes out that file based (I think) on recovery.js as of that point. When Firefox starts back up again, it reads sessionstore.js and deletes it. So if Firefox is running, it's normal not to see sessionstore.js. Anyway, sessionstore.js is going to be empty now.
Shadow Explorer might already have done this for you, but just in case...
You could try the previous versions feature. This is harder to get to on Windows 8 and 8.1, but I have read about a roundabout way. I can't test this myself, but here's what you do:
Let's say you have a Windows Explorer window open to your current Firefox profile folder. This is something like (with your username and semi-random profile folder name):
C:\Users\''username''\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\blahblah
Click in the address bar and change the C: to
\\localhost\c$
to yield (with your username and semi-random profile folder name)
\\localhost\c$\Users\''username''\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\blahblah
Press Enter to reload the folder contents that way.
Now when you right-click recovery.js, recovery.bak, backup.js or sessionstore.js and choose Properties, there should be a Previous Versions tab. Usually the most recent previous version dates back to the last time Windows created a restore point (e.g., system update or possibly scheduled on a more frequent basis).

I have the problem that, every time i open the browser, all the contence is concentrated to the right. Every time when i want to fix it i have to open a new tab. What can i do to permantly fix this?

How do I get a Vista 64 bit XP machine to show a "+" icon on the tab bar to "Open a new tab" and the "Open a new tab" icon on the far right of the Bookmarks tool bar?

I have Firefox 4.0.1 installed on two laptops, one with Windows Vista, 64 bit and the other with Windows XP. Both machines have the "Open a new tab" icon on the far right of the Bookmarks tool bar. The XP machine also has a + icon on the tab bar to "Open a new tab" while the Vista machine does not have that + icon. I like using that; is there any way to get it on the Vista machine?

After weeks of trying, I stumbled on the solution:
# Right-click on an empty section of the Tab Strip, select Customize... and the Customize Toolbar window will open.
# At the bottom of the Customize Toolbar window, there are additional options for changing the appearance of the icons in your toolbars. From the Show drop-down menu, you can choose what to display in the toolbars — Icons, Text, or Icons and Text together. By default, Firefox just shows Icons.
# Select Icons and Text
# When you are finished making changes, click Done to close the Customize Toolbar window.

Automatically open a new tab in Safari with a link

I hate having to hold down a link in Safari in order to open that link in a new tab. Is there a way to automatically have links open in new tabs in Safari without having to do this every time?

Hold down the command key while selecting the menu item.

When I open a new tab, the new tab used to show shots of 6 or so of the last sites I'd viewed, so I could easily click on one and go to it. Now it shows a blank tab and I have to type the URL of the page I want. How can I change it back?

Did you have the Google Toolbar installed?

Other extension that have a similar feature:
*Speed Dial: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/4810
*Fast Dial: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/5721

In recent weeks, when I open a new tab, the bars to input a URL or search has disappeared. How can I restore this option so I don't have to use other browsers?

I used to be able to type in a URL or search when opening a new tab. Now I only get the "panes" that show most recently opened tabs. I have been having to go to alternative browsers to go to websites not in my top 9 or to open new windows, which is a pain.

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. 
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.
