How to stop closed web pages from reloading into a new tab?

Web pages reload automatically, creating multiple copies of the same page. This happens on news sites (e.g., the Guardian). The page will even reopen after being closed.
Suggestions THAT DO NOT WORK:
1) Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
2) GreaseMonkey and its ridiculous scripts that are badly documented and problematic to have work.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> 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).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

    how to prevent duplicate web pages from loading

    <s>Hi berternie, can you describe this in more detail?
    Are you saying the identical page loads in two different tabs? When does that happen -- when you click a link? or when you use a bookmark?
    Or do you have multiple tabs open every time you see your home page (i.e., when you start up, open a new window, or click the home icon)?</s>

  • How do i stop Firefox from stopping a web page from Re-directing?

    For example: I have a site that when I sign in, Firefox pops up with the blue bar across the bottom of the address line, that says it stopped the web site from re-directing, and then there is the "allow" button. I want to STOP it from doing that! How do I do that? ~ I run the newest updates from Firefox on my Mac OS X 10.7.5. ~~~ I followed the "manual steps"... Um... When I clicked on the "copy text to clipboard" , I hope this is what you needed!?
    ------------------

    hello, go into the advanced section of the firefox settings and disable the option to warn once websites attempt to redirect you: [[Advanced settings for accessibility, browsing, system defaults, network, updates, and encryption]]

  • How do I stop last web pages from auto loading in Safari?

    I find the feature of Lion that auto-loads previous web pages (and previous open applications) annoying. I want to stop this function. I see the checked box that asks if I want to re-open applications when logging out but I want the default to be to NOT re-open the apps. I equally dislike the auto-opening of previous web pages in Safari. I know that I can clear my history but what I want is for my homepage to open when I run Safari and not the last page viewed. Any solutions?
    Found this for Safari in the forums...
    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

    iDrifter: The full command is:
    defaults write com.apple.Preview ApplePersistenceIgnoreState YES
    I was having the same problem and this is what I did:
    1) Closed Safari
    2) Changed the setting (mentioned) above in System Preferences
    3) Enter the "defaults write ..." command into Terminal.
    Now whever I launch Safari it does not load any pages.

  • How can I prevent web pages from automatically reloading, such as The Druge Report, etc.

    Several web sites I frequent automatically reload their front page whenever they want to...not when I manually refresh...interrupting streaming videos, etc. I do not want these pages to do this, only I want the ability to manually refresh a web page.

    Yes, many sites need JavaScript to be enabled to work properly.<br /><br />
    This site will most likely not work and in the Knowledge Base you see the content for all Firefox versions and platforms.<br />
    So you shouldn't disable JavaScript globally, but you can do that selectively on a specific tab or based on websites.
    *Content Preferences: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/4066
    You can block and allow scripts selectively for websites with an extension like NoScript or YesScript.

  • Urgent help needed -- how to submit a web page from a PL/SQL api

    Hi,
    Could anyone tell me how to submit a remote web page through pl/sql
    Thanks,
    Rachna

    I am not sure what you mean by this question.
    You can submit from PL/SQL to an external webpage/website using the UTL_HTTP package.
    You can submit from an external webpage to a PL/SQL package if that package is invoked by you webserver. The most direct way is using the MOD_PLSQL module for Apache that Oracle ships as HttpServer and that is the foundation for Oracle Portal and HTML DB. Alternatively your webpage can submit to a JSP that invokes your PLSQL package through JDBC.
    best regards,

  • How to post a web page from Safari to LinkedIn?

    These days many web pages have a widget that easily allows you to post the page to your LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, etc.  But many still don’t, and it’s those that I’m trying to figure out. 
    Is there any way to post (link) from a "non-widgetized" web page, maybe a Safari add-on or something?

  • How to keep a web page from expiring due to inactivity

    i am doing an online school and taking a final exam but do not have time to finish it and i can not close it because i only get one submission, is there anyway i can keep the page from expiring while i am at work so i can finish it when i get home

    I'm not sure I would trust it without testing first, but you could try using an add-on that stores your form input and can restore it if you lose the page and come back to it.

    There seems to be a problem with the extension based on recent reviews. Hopefully that will get cleared up?

  • Won't open homepage on open, won't open web pages from the menu 'open new window', Can't open menu button

    Ok, since update to version 31.0, I have been having some problems.
    I have tried doing everything stated in the support page about resetting, reinstalling, safe mode, restarting pc etc.
    First problem, when I open Firefox no web page loads. It just says New Tab and a blank white page. If I press the home button I am taken to my homepage which is google.
    Second problem, when I right click on a link and the menu pops up, if I click open in new window, a new window opens but it just says New Tab with a blank page and no URL information, just blank.
    Third problem, the Open Menu button just doesn't work at all. You can click all you like, that thing is not opening.
    I am really stuck as to what to do. I have only been using Firefox for about a month and t was good until these problems. If I can't resolve it, I will have to use another browser as it is really annoying.
    I am using Windows 8.1 by the way and have scanned my computer thouroughly for both virus's and malware.

    Hi zenithtwc, to test whether this is a settings issue, could you do a three-minute experiment?
    '''Create a new Firefox profile'''
    A new profile will have your system-installed plugins (e.g., Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions, or other customizations. It also should have completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder.
    Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run):
    firefox.exe -P
    ''Don't delete anything here.'' Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.
    Click the Create Profile button, assign a name like Test731, and skip the option to change the folder location. Then start Firefox in the new profile you created.
    Can it reach the internet?
    When returning to the Profile Manager, you might be tempted to use the Delete Profile button. But... it's a bit too easy to accidentally delete your "real" profile, so I recommend resisting the temptation. If you do want to clean up later, I suggest making a backup of all your profiles first in case something were to go wrong.

  • How to stop iTunes web preview from automatically launching iTunes?

    Any time you go to an iTunes web preview page (which a lot of app sites/reviews link to), it automatically launches iTunes, completely defeating the purpose of having a web preview page in the first place. How can I make it stop doing this? I've looked in both Safari & iTunes prefs; if it's there, I didn't see it.

    It's very annoying, and I wish there was a solution too. If I click on a link to for something to iTunes, I now have a new web browser window opened that is showing the exact same thing that opened in iTunes. How pointless is that? Its to the point that I am looking for alternatives to iTunes for managing my media.

  • How to open a web page from a BSP ? Or swap from the actual URL to another?

    Hi,
    I have a BSP, executing some data loading. It works fine.
    I am trying to enhance it by adding a call to another URL, at the end of the program.
    The same code works when I execute it from transaction SE38. However, when this is executed from the BSP itself, the return code of the function CALL_BROWSER is 2.
    I made som debugs, and the CALL_BROWSER function executes another function which is WS_QUERY. And there, SAP seems not being able to find wich system it is running on.
    Has someone done that before?
    Here is the code of my BSP (the same that works in SE38):
    DATA : appname      TYPE string,
           ls_page_name TYPE string,
           cb_true      TYPE boolean,
           cb_false     TYPE boolean,
           url          TYPE string,
           c_url(2054)  TYPE c.
        MOVE : 'ZPC_STKVTES'     TO appname,
               'zpc_stkvtes.htm' TO ls_page_name,
               'X'               TO cb_true,
               '-'               TO cb_false.
        CALL FUNCTION 'UPWB_GET_APPLICATION_URL'
          EXPORTING
            application          = appname
            page                 = ls_page_name
            ib_additional_params = cb_true
            ib_in_subgui         = cb_false
            ic_preview_type      = 'B'
          IMPORTING
            url                  = url.
        CONCATENATE url '&bps-design_messages=X' INTO c_url.
        CALL FUNCTION 'CALL_BROWSER'
          EXPORTING
            url                    = c_url
            window_name            = ' '
            new_window             = 'X'
          EXCEPTIONS
            frontend_not_supported = 1

    in that case you can either use
    navigation->goto_page(<url>) .
    or if you want to open the page in a new window.
    inoninputprocessing after all your processing done youc an set a varialbe say opennewwindow = 'YES'
    and in the layout write this code.
    <% if opennewwindow = 'YES' . %>
    <script>
          window.open( '<%= url %>', target='_balnk');
          </script>
    <% endif . %>
