== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Hi Becky,
I would recommend trying to start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] (link to article explaining how it works) - if it's something within Firefox (and it does sound that way), this should make it run normally until restarted.
If Firefox works normally in Safe Mode, close it and start safe mode again, but on the starting dialog (again, see the article) select the "Disable all add-ons" option and click the "Make Changes and Restart" button.
If Firefox still runs as it's supposed to, you can begin enabling the add-ons one by one, testing for each. This way you should be able to find the add-on that seems to cause the problem.
Please let us know how above works out, and if we can be of further assistance. Detailed feedback is appreciated and helps us to help you better, plus enables us to better help more users with similar problems.

Captivate 5.5 published files are not visible in Fire Fox or open in new window.

When I publish and post Captivate 5.5, the HTML or the swf files do not display in Fire Fox (latest version) without forcing the file to open in a new window (if it displays at all). If it does work, the Flash security blocks the swf on an ugly view until the user clicks.
I thought it was because I have to assign a direct URL to each component, but all of the other Captivate sites I have reviewed have the same issue when viewing in Fire Fox.
IE will display after the active x is authorized (I can live with that).
You Tube and other Flash display properly in Fire Fox, just not Captivate products.
I have disabled off all plugins, modified the protected settings, and everything I could find listed in the Fire Fox help. I have installed a previous version of Flash and Shockwave Player. Short of reinstalling windows, it is not working and that will not help because the published content is not visible on any other machine in the office or at home.
The files are in a Portal, so I cannot share them unless you are in the DoD and have an AKO or DKO account.
However, here is another example of the Captivate not working.
https://clc.dau.mil/games (this displays on some computers, but not all)
http://www.hartisd.net/pages/uploaded_files/Assignment_Search.mht (After allowing the mht, this displays in IE)
I am not sure if it has something to do with the other 2 published xml files that are not directly referenced in the html, but I just need either the swf or html to display in the iframe without forcing another window to display and without a lot of dependecy issues with other add-ons in Fire Fox.
- Thanks!

Any of the DAU games, if they display. It is a government site, so they have the standard gov garbage (stuff not working like certificates), but nothing is harmful nor can they do anything to track other than the current session.
It is kind of weird how the content is displayed... It is not an intranet, it goes to a limited access portal. When I store content, it uses an absolute path instead of relative path. Very aggrevating when using many of the tools for non-programmers (like me), and probably more aggrevating for programmers.
Whether I point directly to the .swf or to the generated HTML, the content displays in IE, but not in FF.
It may be a combination of FF and Captivate. FF seems rather flaky in dealing with swf files. There is the consideration for add-ons, but I tried on a newly imaged computer and it still was not working. Even after going through all of the FF steps to get it to work.
Basically we had to create a new HTML file to display the content because the Captivate published files don't work. However, the new HTML does not reference the XML files.
When I publish, I get 5 different files, .swf, .htm, .js, and 2 .xml. When I dig through the code (once again, not a programmer, soo I may be missing something), even round tripping to Flash, I do not see how the .xml files are referenced at all.
These may be different topics, not sure, it came up because I am trying to get a simple solution from the product that can be easily transferred to our production servers and available for Solders to access.
- Thanks

When I click on a link, sometimes it will open a blank window & do nothing

# Question
When I click on a link, sometimes it will open a blank window & do nothing

Click the link with the scroll wheel.

I click on a link to open a new window nothing shows up - i.e. if I click on 'enlarge' on an Ebay auction photo a new windoiw opens but it's blank inside.

I'm running Firefox 3.6.13 and if I click on a link to open a new window nothing shows up - i.e. if I click on 'enlarge' on an Ebay auction photo a new window opens but it's blank inside.
Any ideas please? I've tried uninstalling and re-installing, and downloading and installing Flash but no joy.

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 > Themes).

Why when I click on a bookmark it doesn't open a new window, it takes over a window I am working on

Why when I click on a bookmark it doesn't open a new window, it takes over a window I am working on

Also, if you right click, the menu will include; '''''Open New Tab''''' and
'''''Open New Window'''''.

Just learning my track pad; viewed tutorial; when I click a link, message comes up,"open in new window," etc. How to stop messages?

I'm just learning how to use my Track Pad on my MacBook Pro, running iOS 10.9.4. I viewed the tutorial, which helped a lot , but still, when I click a link at odd times (I haven't figured out what triggers it yet) a small window with options such as, 'open in new window' opens up. It doesn't happen all the time. I just want the link to click through without having to deal with the message. When I click it several times, I may finally get it so the link just opens. How can I avoid those messages?

When I right-click on a link, can I have "open in new window" first, like it used to be?

I prefer to open in new window when I right-click on a link. In this new version of firefox, open in tab is now on top. Can I have open in new window the first of the options?

You can rearrange the menu items with the Menu Editor extension.

My firefox won't create a new tab when I click on the tab. It will create a new window. It worked fine till this morning. I've rebooted several time to see if that would make a difference. It doesn't.

I can only create tabs by clicking on a link in an email or a program or a link in the window I am viewing. It will NOT create a new tab when I click on the tab to create a new tab, nor will it create a new tab when I right click on the tab & click on create a new tab. I'm used to using tabbed browsing all the time & it's driving me nuts. HELP!
I have not downloaded any new updates on any software or downloaded any new software in the hours before this started happening.
Just to clarify about my original question. I meant to say that firefox will create a new window when I right click & click on create a new window but will not create a new tab when I click on create a new tab. I think what I wrote may have been somewhat confusing.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

Link in Flash keeps opening in new window

I have l a flash file in my pages that links to other pages within my web site but when clicked they automatically open in another window. How can I link them without opening a new window as would happen with a normal web page link?
Here is my current Action Script code:
index.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,indexbuttondown);
function indexbuttondown(event:MouseEvent):void {
var bbcURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("index.html");
navigateToURL(bbcURL);
Thanks for your help
Nick

Try changing the one line to be:
navigateToURL(bbcURL, "_self");
And test on a server. Testing locally isn't reliable when browser window commands are involved.

Click-through links which would otherwise open in new windows, wont open at all

it may have something to do with the fact that i have a new laptop running windows 8 but on links which would normally open into a new window like document links or page editors won't open at all.
pop-ups are allowed, and i've tried to allow new windows in general but only one will be open. not even an error box shows up.

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

Link doesn't get open in new window/tab

Hi I have a expression on a text box, which shows a link. What i want is, when I click on the link, it should open in new tab. I have the expression below, it opens the link in the same tab, but not in a separate tab.
=IIf(Fields!myField.Value="Online","<a href=""http://www.google.com"" target=""_blank"">" & "[Click here to do]" & "</a>","")
Can anybody help please? Thanks.

Hi ca4fil,
According to your description, you want to click the URL then open the page in a new tab.
As we tested in our environment, when clicking the URL in a report, the target="_blank” included within the HTML tag is not supported to open a new tab. In your scenario, since you want to open the URL in a new tab, you could set the “Go to URL” option
with the expression like below:
=IIF(Fields!myField.Value="Online","javascript:void(window.open('http://www.google.com','_blank'))","")
Besides, you should make sure you have selected the "Always open pop-ups in a new tab" option in Internet Options.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best regards,

Link to headline that opens in new window

Hi there,
a short question:
Is it possible to create a "Go to a page" link to a headline in a second document (bookmark) in a new window? I couldn't find this option. I can link to the headline, but it opens in the same window.
Editing (show in new window) the link after creating it leads to the head of the page of the second document, not to the headline/bookmark.
Hope I could explain the point

Hi petrad27605776,
I would like to inform you that you can choose to open the second file in a different window :
Go to 'Tools'- > 'Content Editing' -> 'More Content' -> 'Add or edit Link' -> 'Link Action' (Select 'Open a File') -> 'Next' ->Set path of the file and Click 'OK' -> Specify Open Preference ( Select 'New Window') and Click OK
However when the document will be opened up, it will point to the first page of the document.
Regards,
Rahul

Links in other applications opening in new windows now instead of tabs randomly

Randomly today after booting up my PC and opening firefox links I receive from other people on like AIM or Steam chat open a whole new window where as before they would just open a new tab. It's veryyyy annoying and I have the option "Open new windows in a new tab instead" on. I'm using aurora build by the way, if that matters.

Try to ask in the daily thread or create a new thread on the MozillaZine Builds forum, maybe someone there knows an answer.
