How to stop safari opening a new tab which relates to inappropriate viewing

When I'm in safari a new tab opens to reveal an awful **** site, why is this happening and how can I stop it? I've had my iPad for 18 months and this has only just started to happen.

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.

  • HT1338 how can I stop safari switch into new tab?

      Whenever I open a link in new tab, my laptop switches into the new tab, which makes me so angry. I tried so many times, but I didn't find where to make my laptop stay at the old tab even when I open a new link. I need your help.
    Thank you

    I'm not sure if this will suffice, but if you hold the Command key while clicking on a link, it will open in a new tab behind the current tab.
    You may want to just open a new tab behind the current tab, without clicking a specific link.  I have it set to open new tabs showing Top Sites.  If I hold the Command key and click the Top Sites "button" on the toolbar, I get a new tab showing Top Sites behind the current tab.  For me, this is equivalent to giving the new tab command, except for the tab appearing in front of the current tab (with the new tab command).

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

    Mac users can do the following...
    http://www.switchingtomac.com/tutorials/how-to-force-safari-4-to-open-links-in-a -new-tab-instead-of-a-new-window/
    how can this be done for WIndows users?
    Using Safari 4.0

    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.

    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.

  • Safari 8.0 stop link open in new tab.

    In Safari, all google search results are opening in a new tab by clicking on them? How can I get safari to open the link from google in the same window..

  • 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

  • Safari: opening a new tab?

    In the latest version of Safari (following my updating iOS a few weeks ago) I was pleased to see it now allows several tabs to remain open. But how do you open a new one when you click a new link please?
    I want the existing tab to continue showing the current web page, and an extra new one to show the page from the clicked link. At present it REPLACES the current page.. And the + tool on the right just opens a blank new page.

    That was quick, many thanks, embarrassingly simple!

  • Every link in Safari opens in new tab or window

    I'd like to find a way so that every time I click a link in Safari, instead of opening in the current window, it opens in either a new tab or window.
    I understand that I can hold down "Command" while I click a link and it will open in a new window or tab, and that I can right click or control click and select "open in new window" from the contextual menu, but I don't want to do that.
    I simply want every link that I click to open in a new window. Every time.
    I'm willing to dig deep into the system and get under the hood if necessary.
    Thanks,
    Darryl

    I'm not sure what you mean. Are you asking me to post my Safari preferences? Or something else?
    Anyway, 10.6.6 running Safari 5.0.3.
    Tab preferences - "Open pages inn tabs instead of windows" = "Always".
    "Command-click opens link in a new tab" - checked
    "When a new tab or window opens, make it active" - checked
    "Confirm before closing multiple tabs or windows" - checked.

  • Safari opens a new tab, randomly from history every time I am clicking on something on my opened safari page!

    I have a mac book pro and my os x is 10.9.5 is updated. I use safari 7.1 ( the last updated version) , firefox and google chrome. It is a few days that I have the problem of opening an unwanted new tab from history ( just random but usually mac cleaner) automatically every time that I click on my opened page! Now I see that this also happened in firefox and chrome. I have tried, un-installing extensions, clear history, reset safari/chrome/ firefox... But the problem is not solved. I am really confused! I see many adds in every page I open too. which I did not see before this.  I appreciate if anyone can help me get rid of these unwanted tabs!

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
    You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
    Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it. The instructions in this comment are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Step 1
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
    Step 2
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
    /Library/Application Support/VSearch
    /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
    Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine item from mplayerx.org.
    This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • How to stop Safari opening on start up

    For some reason Safari has started opening up automatically when I start up my Mac. I don't want it to do this. I have looked in preferences for a box to "untick" but can't find one. I would appreciate any suggestions.
    I am using Safari 4.1 on an iMac.

    tony --
    Go up to the main Apple Menu --
    To System Preferences
    to Accounts > Your Account.
    On that page, look at Login Items.
    Is Safari there? If so, select it, and delete it from there.
    You may have to click the padlock & enter your admin password.

  • Extremely Slow when Opening a new tab

    I have just bought my new Retina MacBook Pro after my 3 years Macbook Pro 13" is total lost and get the Mountain Lion OSX with latest 10.8.2 version
    After migrating the MacOSX from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion, my Mac is everything ok but without Safari.
    Once I wanna open a webpage from bookmarks bar, I usually open a new tab then click one of webpage in one of the bookmarks bar. The problem was happened in this action.
    After I opening a new tab which I have set to show top site rather than History (all top site are locked like a set of bookmarks), the system extremely slow down even I just move my mouse from one bookmark to another on the bookmarks bar, it still have a bit serious delay more than a second.
    I have just tested, if i choose history not top site is shown when I am opening a new tab, the performance really better. However, when I scroll to somewhere all have thumbnails for those webpages, the performance still slow down but not yet as serious as the top site and I think becasue I have choose over 12 webpages for topsite (which are all have thumbnails).
    My new Retina MacBook Pro is the lower default spec i7 2.3GHz and the version now is MacOSX 10.8.2 with Safari 6.0.1
    one of place I want to mentioned is my Safari and Safari Webpage Content are over 500MB once I have opened. Is it common and normal? I feel really upset that my new Mac doesn't really faster than before but the older one is Core 2 duo and 4GB ram vs the new one is i7 2.3GHz and 8GB ram....oh my god

    Try clearing history and the cache...
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari
    Select:  Clear History  (also empties the cache)
    Deselect the remaning boxes then click Reset.
    Quit and relaunch Safari.
    See if that made a difference.

  • Everytime I open a new tab, I get an alert message saying the URL is not valid and can't be loaded.

    I must press 'ok' before I can proceed. This happened after I clicked 'deactivate' when I got a new screen when I opened a new tab, which was also a hassle. Previously, I opened a new tab and life was good...no new screens, no messages....
    What happened?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    >In Firefox 4 Safe mode also disables plugins (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) and hardware acceleration (Tools > Options > Advanced > General)

    Hi,
    If you have got to  Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.2 and therefore Messages version 7.0.1 then double click the individual chats.
    Once they are in separate windows you can chat like that  (That's the way I used to chat - I didn't even use the tabbed chat)
    It is impossible to create a separate Chat window each new chat (you have to separate them off from the main window which also keeps a "copy")
    New chats are added to the main window even if you have used the red button to hide it. (CMD + 0 from the Window menu brings it back)
