I DON'T want a new window!!!

I want to open a link in a new tab - I DON'T want a new window, even if the page specifies a width or height. I can't believe that FF would try to think for me and override MY prefs - I though that stupidity was left to MS! Even Safari 4 (4.1.2) gives me the option to always open in a new tab no matter what. A web site doesn't deserve to take over my browser, and any good site will be designed or programmed to handle any width/height.
Any way to hack this setting? Or do we wait and hope that FF returns control to the user?

You can check these prefs on the about:config page.

  • I want all new windows to open in tabs but they dont, even after I have selected the option " Open new windows in new tab instead"

    Al the details are in the question: I want all new windows to open in tabs but they dont, even after I have selected the option " Open new windows in new tab instead"

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • I'm using 33.0.1 firefox. When I google I don't want a new tab to be opened unless I rt click and open. How do i change settings?

    I'm using 33.0.1 firefox. When I google I don't want a new tab to be opened unless I rt click and open.
    As far as I remember, I wasn't the case before. Could someone help to change the settings or how do I open the link in that particular page itself rather opening in new tab?
    Thanks

    hello, this is a google setting that you can change at google.com/preferences.

    I answer a question on the post. I am not assuming what plan they have, or should have or may have had in the past.
    If you are under a contract for two years since the phone is now paid off ( subsidized device) the cost of the plan does not get reduced, based on the original posters post.
    There for my answer is 100% correct for the facts known in the post.
    Would a, Could a or Should a has nothing to do with my reply.
    Unless the poster states exactly what plan they are on the only reasonable reply was the short and sweet one I gave. If they continue as is, without looking into plan changes (again no plan was listed) there is no reduction since paying off the subsidized device.
    Good Luck
    Since there is more than one plan available and since there is one plan available that does qualify for a discount once a subsidized phone is paid off, your original reply is not and could never be 100% correct, maybe 50% correct. The only reasonable response (also short and sweet) is "It depends on your current plan and/or whether you are willing to switch to the one plan that is eligible for a discount, otherwise no you might not get a discount."

  • I Don't Want the New Update

    Hi, I love Skype and I've been using it to talk to my friends while we play Minecraft every day. Just this morning I went on Skype and I got a message (see screenshot). I don't want the new Skype and I was plenty happy with the old one, but there doesn't seem like a way to keep using the one I'm used to. Please help!

  • I want a new window to open when I click the Firefox icon on the taskbar. I don't want to have to right click, then choose "open new window". I have Windows 7.

    I want to be able to open a new browser window when I click on the Firefox icon on the taskbar. I don't want to have to right click and select anything. I have windows 7.

    This is a "pinned" icon? Try holding the Shift key when you click it -- that seems to work for me.

  • In Firefox 5 links with target="_blank" don't open in new window or tab. Is there a way to make them do that?

    I've search some info about this and it seems like there's a lot of people that are annoyed by links opening in new window/tab and that the 'target="_blank"' is not valid in strict XHTML. I'm guessing this could be reasons why Firefox 5 ignores the 'target="_blank"'. But in some cases you really want to open a new widow, in my case I'm using a flash application and want to open links in new windows from there and then the ctrl-click doesn't work. When opening the link in the same page and then go back the application is reloaded and it's state is lost. Probably should try to find out if there's some other way to open links from a flash application, but I'm wondering if there's a way to make Firefox 5 open 'target="_blank"' links in new tabs.

    I don't know how to delete my question, anyway I'm not having this problem anymore. In our organisation the IT department deploy Firefox updates with certain settings and limitations, in the tap-options the checkbox for opening new windows in new tabs where checked but disabled. They made some changes to make this checkbox enabled and now it works as expected if it's check new windows open i new tabs and if it's not in new windows. They never opens in the same tab as they did before.

  • HT4168 epub: I'd like to create chapters for the TOC but don't want the new chapter to begin on a new page. I'd like it to begin on the same page as the prior chapter. How can I do that?

    How can I do this? I currently have my TOC chapters listed as Apples, Oranges, and so on.  But my text chapters begin something like this:
    1
    Apples
    2
    Oranges
    I have "Apples" with header 1, "Oranges" with header 1, etc., so that very nicely in the TOC it is listing my topics as the chapters. However, within the body of the document, 1 appears on one page and "Apples" begins at the top of a new page, separated from "1"; 2 appears one one page and "Oranges" appears at the top of the next page (separated from the "2), and so on.
    Because of the way the book is structured, I need to have the chapter numbers on a top line and the chapter topic beneath it. (The book is further subdivided, such as 1.3a, 1.3b, etc.)
    What I would like is for the TOC to indicate my chapters as Apples, Oranges, etc., but for the chapter text to begin as indicated above.
    How can I do this?  Thanks.

    Peter, I styled the wording of the chapter title (e.g. apples) with my heading1 styling and my sub-chapter titles were heading2. The text is a different font, different color, different size, different everything.  It seems that the epub program has an automatic format to start a new page with each new header. That's what I'm trying to work around. (Originally I styled both the numeral and the chapter title as "heading 1" and it gave each a different page!)
    I am in the process of removing all headers and styling everything manually (which is how it was originally) just to avoid this problem.
    I'm having my e-book done through a publisher (this will be self-published), so I'll be giving them a .docx and they'll convert it to .html (filtered) then .epub. so I need something that creates my Table of Contents as I'd like it, without messing up the text of the book.
    I can give them a list of what I want in the Table of Contents, and have them manually do it, but the TOC may or may not come out how I want it to come out. My preference is to have something automatic. I wanted the sub-units (heading 2) in the TOC but that will never work since I have over 200 of them and it's too much for them to do manually.  It's a very slow process.

  • InDesign to swf--can you make hyperlinks that don't open a new window?

    I am exporting an InDesign document to swf with interactive hyperlinks placed on an existing webpage. My problem is if you click on a hyperlink a new webpage opens up. Can I make the hyperlink work so that clicking on the link does not open up a new tab or window, but changes the page within the current window?

    I have tried that too and it didn´t work out. Attribute that controls where you open your hyperlink is called Target. And InDesign doesn´t let you define it. Let´s hope some improvement with this in future...

  • I want a new window to open a blank page, instead it opens start page and cant grab icon in new tab to set as home page.

    New tab blank page icon is not selectable and therefore I can not click and drag it to home page icon. Other pages work, but not blank pages. I do not want Firefox Start Page.

    Install an extension that adds that feature to Firefox.
    New Tab Homepage extension:

    or

  • Trying to Activate - No I don't want a new router ...

    Hello,
    I'm trying to help a friend activate the BT Sport app. They have BT Infinity.
    I've downloaded the app to an android device. I enter email address/password and I get taken to the activation process.
    I reach 
    http://www.productsandservices.bt.com/products/man​age-broadband-extras/#get-the-bt-sport-app-and-onl​...
    and select the 'Activate the BT Sport app and online player' link.
    The website then checks our details. It then takes me to an order page where I can order one of two types of BT Home Hubs one is free, one costs money. If I select the free one we get taken to an order page where it adds a £6.95 delivery charge. We do not want a router, we have a perfectly functional one. We just want to activate BT Sport on the account but can't seem to without going through this ordering process.
    Can anyone suggest a solution ? Many Thanks
