I'd like to have web links open automatically in a new tab. How do I make this happen?

1. When I open Firefox I have it set up that my gmail page automatically opens. When I want to go to another web site a new tab does not open but replaces my gmail tab. Then I have to use "back" or "history" to return to the gmail page. This gets difficult when I have been surfing the web & then have to go "back" thru numerous web pages. I'd like each web page to open in it's own tab. How do I do this?
2. Also, in google help it stated: " If you want to open a link in a new tab instead, just right-click on the link and select Open Link in New Tab from the context menu. " I tried this & the "Open Link in New Tab" did not appear in the menu. Can you assist me in locating this menu?

If you use Ctrl + left-click or middle-click a link then the link should open in a new tab.<br />
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    Strangely enough, putting my laptop into Hibernate mode solved the problem. It didn't even take a reboot.

  • I keep Mail open on my MacBook Pro and prior to Mavericks items would open on my 27" secondary display. How can I make this happen in Mavericks?

    I keep Mail open on my MacBook Pro and prior to Mavericks items would open on my 27" secondary display. How can I make this happen in Mavericks?

    In System Preferences > Mission Control, uncheck mark Displays have seperate windows. This should bring you back to the secondary display you had before the upgrade. You may have to open Mail, the first time and place it on your secondary display. You also won't have the advantages of the dock and menus on the secondary display.
    I keep my own secondary display with these settings because I need the ability to expand a window across both displays.

  • I'm using Firefox 3.6.8 on a MacBook Pro. Is there any way to have downloads open automatically in a new tab once the download is complete? Thanks in advance!

    I believe when I first got my MacBook, that when I was in Firefox and downloaded a pdf, it opened automatically in a new Firefox tab. At some point, I think a window with the option to NOT do this appeared and I clicked the wrong option, i.e. to NOT have a downloaded pdf open up automatically in a new tab.
    I now cannot figure out how to reverse this. I have called Apple support and they think it's a Firefox setting.

    Set a preference to have searches from the Search Bar (upper right) automatically open all searches in a new tab
    #type '''about:config''' in the URL/Location/Address bar and press the Enter key
    #if you see a warning, accept it (promise to be careful)
    #Filter = '''browser.search.openintab'''
    #in the lower panel, double click the item (or right-click and choose "Toggle") to change the value to "true"
    #close the about:config tab and test

    About Google toolbar............
    Google decided that they will no longer produce the Google Toolbar for Firefox 5 and newer version. It is best to move on to other alternatives than to try any "hacks" to the toolbar that may or may not perform in the future. Future versions of Google toolbar will only work with IE7-9. Google Toolbar is not available on any other browser, even Google's own browser.

  • I have two IMacs and I want to set them up so i can use one keyboard and mouse-   How do i make this happen?

    How do i make it happen so I can use two seperate iMac computers as one set-up with one keyboard and one mouse?

    If the keyboard and mouse are wired, then a USB KVM switch will work.
    If they are wireless, you should be able to connect the wirelessly via Bluetooth settings. discover the same keyboard and mouse on each iMac.
    However, you cannot use them on each iMac simultaneously. I think it would be rather difficult for you to switch between them (disconnecting and reconnecting them over and over again).
    Most iMacs come shipped with a keyboard and mouse by default. How come you only have one keyboard?
    Keyboards and mice are not that expensive either.

    these days i face this problem.whenever i click on a site it appears in a new tab.how can i stop it?

    The Google Search setting has an option '''Where results open'''. If it is selected, you can try deselecting that.

All these settings/options/add-ons can also be individually or collectively disabled/enabled/changed in Firefox normal mode to check if an extension, theme, option or hardware acceleration is causing issues.

  • Visio Web Drawing opens all hyperlinks in new tab

    Hi,
    I created a diagram in Visio 2013 Professional. I saved the diagram as Visio Web Drawing to a Sharepoint document library. I use the web part Visio Web Access to display the diagram on a SharePoint page. The diagram contains some hyperlinks to other
    SharePoint pages. However all the pages opens in a New tab.
    How can I make the hyperlinks to open in the same window?
    I set the Hyperlink.NewWindow property as FALSE in Visio, but it doesn't matter. It still opens in New tab.
    I tried to make one hyperlink to another Visio page (in the same Visio file) by selecting sub-address, and this opens in the same window. If I make the hyperlink by paste the url to the SharePoint page in the Address Field, it opens in a New tab.
    Can anyone help?

     It is by default that SharePoint 2013 Visio Service deals with  the hyperlink of Visio document. There seams to be no approach that Microsoft Visio keep the same location when it follows a hyperlink to open a Web page.

  • I have a ACSM book I downloaded to my MacBook Pro from a digital library. I would like to read it on my ancient nook. What do I do to make this happen?

    I clicked on the ACSM file and it opened the book, which I think means I'm screwed.
    When I try to authorize mu nook, it pops up a cancer warning. At this point, I can't even get to the "authorize device" item under my nook's gear-icon -- that's greyed out.
    Could Adobe make this any more difficult if they tried?

    Well, you cannot use the 3G USB modem plugged directly into the Express. However, you can configure your MacBook Pro to do 'Internet sharing' (SysPrefs>Sharing) over the Ethernet port, and then connect your Express into the Ethernet port. Alternatively, you could always get your MacBook to 'create a wireless network'.

    You: It now says there are 14 minutes remaining

    Manoj: Okay.
    Manoj: Close that previous installation window which is asking to reset the password and run the setup file now from the new folder which we copied now.
    You: I said it would send notice to my email but I checked both the email and the junk mail and nothing arrived
    Manoj: Robert, since the previous installation is started from the disc, we need to close that window and start installing from the desktop Photoshop Elements folder.

  • I don't want yahoo search to come up when I open a new tab how do I make it so it does not go to yahoo?

    Before my last upgrade when I opened a new tab it would open to a new window without yahoo or any other page just blank that is what I would like to happen now.

    Did you try opening '''about:config''' and filtering on the url (or part of it) to see if there is a configuration variable involved.
    How did you remove the toolbar and application, did you have to go into the control panel or did an extension sim,ply uninstall..

  • When opening a new tab, how can you make the cursor automatically go to the address bar?

    In my previous version of firefox, the cursor would go directly to the address bar when I opened a new tab. Thus, I could start typing the web address I wanted to go to immediately. However I upgraded to Firefox 4 today and I now have to manually click in the address bar. Is there any way to change this in settings or by installing a specific add-on?
    Thanks!

    You only get the cursor in the search bar if you open the built-in about:home page.<br />
    For other websites you need an extension.

  • When I click on the "new tab" button it does not open a new tab, how do I fix this?

    Left clicking or right clicking on the new tab button does not open a new tab. Common fixes have been unsuccessful. I don't know what's wrong. It's a recent problem, and even though I'm using an older version of Firefox this hasn't been a problem before.

    Try uninstalling the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and the current version of Firefox.

  • Some website opens automatically in a new tab with some time interval repeatedly

    Sometimes a specific website ie. " http://www.yourtest-india.com/cgi-bin/wingame.pl?partner_pk=8&wingame_pk=40&freetest_pk=10&SourceId=355&CreativeId=23885235&LineItemId=8914668&PublisherId=309257&SectionId=8433399&sub_id_postback=00005de1e959adfd24a71a545c7258e4a8e59 " opens repeatedly in new tab with some time interval and even if I close the new tab that has opened again this new tab opens after same time interval.
    This happens only when the firefox window is active or open. When the window is minimized no new tabs open. But once I switch to firefox new tab opens immediately with the same page as mentioned above.

    Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.

  • When opening a new tab, how do I make firefox automatically switch to it?

    Pressing Control+T or the "+" button next to tabs will open the new tab. However, I want the new tab to be automatically selected when it is generated.
    Right clicking links and Opening in new tab works fine.

    For me, it was caused by the Fox Tab add on. I disable it and the 'problem' goes away, enable it and it's back..
    I guess Fox Tab (1.4.2b) is not (fully) compatible with Firefox 5 yet.
