How to open text URL in the new tab

Hi guys,
We know that when we click on a hyperlink it will directly open the linked web site, e.g.
www.bing.com
But sometimes we may find some URL in plain text that we couldn't click on it, e.g. www.bing.com
I'll have to select the URL and copy&paste it to a new tab to open it, this is time wasting.
The time IE 9 came out, I found a wonderful add-on, Open URL in New Tab (with Preview)
This will do the trick to open the text URL in the new tab by right click on it.
http://www.iegallery.com/us/addons/detail.aspx?id=3614
But I don't like two things of it.
1st, it will try to preview the web site when I using it which is undesired.
2nd, it will open the link through another site and then jump back to the link I need to open. But I'd like to open the link directly. Which will open the link more quickly also save my time.
Questions:
Is there any other way to open the plain text URL directly? I mean without copy and past it to another page.
It would be great if I can open the URL by dragging it like the other...

In these forums? If you are using the NNTP Bridge you could view your message in your News reader's Plain text mode and then see that your two examples worked equivalently.   <eg>
Otherwise, in general, I agree there are some pretty obvious "accelerators" which could have been provided.
I suspect much of the problem will be due to "security".   E.g. Windows used to have a functionality called text scraps, where you could select some text and drag and drop it just about anywhere to create a scrap file.   That's
not working for me any more either.   If it were we could at least drag it to the Address bar and press Enter...

How to Open External Links in a New Tab

I want links in web pages to open in the current tab so I have browser.link.open_newwindow=1. But how do I make links from extenal applications open in a new tab?

Try setting the following to 3, not really sure if preference was actually removed or just won't accept 2, the intent was that the two variables be the same (I think)
browser.link.open_external -- Where to open links sent to the browser from an external application
* 2 (default in SeaMonkey): Opens external links in a new window
* 3 (default in Firefox): Opens external links in a new tab in the most recent window
* 1 (or anything else): Opens external links in current window
Note: In Firefox 2 and above, via “Tools → Options → Tabs → New pages should be opened in:” (same as browser.link. open_newwindow)

How to open a URL in the default browser via CC HTML Extension?

Hi,
I'm trying to open a link via the default browser in a HTML Extension for Photoshop CC built with Extension Builder 3.
With the initial example the "/indext.html" it look like this:
<li><button class="default" id="btn_PHXS" onClick="onClickButton('PHXS')" disabled="true">Run ps code</button></li>
and I changed the code from "/ext.js" to:
...function onClickButton(ppid) {    var csInterface = new CSInterface();    csInterface.openURLInDefaultBrowser('http://www.adobe.com');}...
This is what the "/lib/CSInterface-4.0.0.js" looks like:
* Opens a page in the default system browser.
* @param url   The URL of the page to open. Must use HTTP or HTTPS protocol.
* @return One of these error codes:\n
*      <ul>\n
*          <li>NO_ERROR - 0</li>\n
*          <li>ERR_UNKNOWN - 1</li>\n
*          <li>ERR_INVALID_PARAMS - 2</li>\n
*          <li>ERR_INVALID_URL - 201</li>\n
*      </ul>\n
CSInterface.prototype.openURLInDefaultBrowser = function(url)
    return cep.util.openURLInDefaultBrowser(url);
Since "util" doesn't seem to be defined I get the message:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'openURLInDefaultBrowser' of undefined
Is the something missing?
Thx,
frankin

Hi Franklin,
Apologies for the delay but I have been trying to determine why this API is not been working. I have since discovered that, although this API is documented in the JS library, the behaviour has yet to be implemented into Photoshop CC. Offline I will try to determine why this API was included in the library when it was not ready but for the meantime, if you would like to open a browser, here is a workaround:
Instead of using:
//(new CSInterface).openURLInDefaultBrowser("http://www.adobe.com")
// Use the createProcess API to open a browser. The following shows a workflow in Windows to open Internet Explorer.
var csInterface = new CSInterface();
var rootDir = "/";
var isWindows = window.navigator.platform.toLowerCase().indexOf("win") > -1;
if (isWindows) {
                    rootDir = csInterface.getSystemPath(SystemPath.COMMON_FILES).substring(0, 3);
var processPath = "/usr/bin/open";
if (isWindows) {
    processPath = rootDir + "Windows/explorer.exe";
var url = "http://www.adobe.com";
window.cep.process.createProcess(processPath, url);
Apologies for this inconvenience but we promise to keep you informed when openURLInDefaultBrowser API is fully supported.
Kind regards,
Lea

Firefox doesn't seem to give me the ability to enter a new URL in the new tab window I open

When I open a new Firefox tab there doesn't appear to be a way to enter a URL for the website I want to go to. I guess my question is: Where do you enter the URL for the website you want to access?
Thanks,
Suzanne

-> click '''Firefox''' button -> go to '''Options''' -> select '''Navigation Toolbar'''
Check and tell if its working.

Cannot open a URL in a new tab using a bookmarks submenu

I have just been upgraded to v 35.0. Before the upgrade, I could navigate from my bookmarks menu to a sub-menu, and hover over a URL. A right click brought up a context menu that allowed me to Open, Open in a New Tab, Open in a New Window, etc.
After the update, the only options available are Open. The rest of the sub-menu is grayed out. Is the only option now to open a new tab manually and then navigate thru sub-menus to open a site?
Thanks.

How to open a bookmark folder in new tabs without removing previously opened tabs ?

I love Safari, I think it's the smoothest experience on a Mac. However, not being able to open multiple tabs at once without overwriting my previous ones is a deal breaker. I know you can click the back button to restore previous tabs but then the new ones are gone.
Is there a way to open a bunch of new tabs at once and keep the ones I already have open ?

Hello CommeLeMois,
You should be able to open links in new tabs by holding the Command key (⌘) and clicking on the link. Check in Safari Preferences and looked and the Tab section to see if you have the right behavior enabled.

How do I hook in to the "New Tab" page UI for the add-on I am writing?

I am writing an add-on called Undo Close, for Firefox Mobile. It allows the user to reopen recently closed tabs.
Currently, I provide an "Undo Close" button in the main menu (using the NativeWindow API). However, the ideal location for this button is in the BrowserTab UI. As far as I know, there is no JS-API for the native widgets located therein. How can I add my button to the UI, possibly using ctypes?
If interested, I can supply a link to my add-on in AMO.

You would be best to ask the Firefox for Android developers at https://chat.mibbit.com/?server=irc.mozilla.org&channel=%23mobile they can be best reached from 8 AM pacific to 6 PM pacific during the work week.
As I understand your question you would need https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=799631 to be fixed.

How do you create/add websites to the 'new tab' page?

I followed the help link you guys have already created. It instructs to go the 'show all bookmarks' window and drag an already created bookmark to a vacant spot on the 'new tab' page. This doesn't work for my PC as after i drag the desired bookmark, it just opens that page on the new tab page. Please help out with how to add new tiles to the blank new tab page.

Hi there,
You want to save websites in the Firefox tab page tiles,this is how I do it.
You have to have the bookmarks bar enabled if it's not showing in your
Firefox.Right click on an empty space to the top of Firefox & click
Bookmarks Toolbar,It should show under the address bar & search bar
like mine.
Go to what sites you want saved in the Firefox tab page,drag & drop the
site in the Bookmarks bar.Open the Firefox tab page,now drag & drop what you saved in the Bookmarks bar onto one of the tiles,It should work.
You can delete any sites saved in the Bookmarks bar,right click on it & click delete.
Sites saved in the tab page may need to be pinned if you clear cache,history & cookies.

How do I set up the 9 "home" pages on the "New Tab"

There are 9 "home" squares to pin 9 sites on the "New Tab", for easy access for favorite sites.
How can I pin these to stay in place, when I cannot even get them to show up in the blank spot?
I know how to "pin" tabs at the top and I know how to "pin" a page on the "New Tab" when it shows up, but I cannot force a page to show up in the blank spot.

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?

How to make the new tabs to open the same URL as the startup page?

Hello!
I was wondering if it's possible to configure the Firefox in such a way that the new tabs open exactly the same URL that is typed in the Options. I tried to set browser.newtab.url to about:home but it gives me Firefox Google custom page instead of the startup page that I've set in the Options. Another way I tried is to set the browser.newtab.url value in about:config to the same URL as the startup page URL, but then if I change the URL in the options the new tab URL is not changed. So the question is whether it's possible to make the Firefox read the URL that is used for the startup page and go there when opening a new tab.

You can use a addon or about:config
<h2>Addon</h2>
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/‎
<h2>About:config</h2>
# In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
# Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''', to continue to the about:config page.
# Enter '''browser.newtab.url''', double click the result.
# A new window should now show, enter your homepage url in the box, then hit ok.
# Open a new tab, does it work.
If prefs arent saved you need to read the [[How to fix preferences that won't save]] article.
