In version 9 is there anyway to put the "Open Link in new Tab" back to where it was when right clicking on a link?

The menu editor addon no longer works with FF v9.0.1, is there another way to change the location of the "Open Link in New Tab" contextual menu item when right clicking on a link?

You can do that with code in userChrome.css.

Can't open new tab by going to file/new tab (or CTRL+T or clicking on the new tab field). Only way is to right click on a link and choose open in new tab.

Hello,
'''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.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Why was the open link in new tab option removed in favor of a right click? This is inefficient and a step backwards in functionality.

This was an option on previous versions of Firefox and its annoying to right click to open in a new tab when it was a native function in prior versions.

This code in userChrome.css will move "Open Link in New Window" to the top of the context menu.

the user jay_ff shows how to do it using the Menu Editor Add-on
1. Install the Menu Editor add-on from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/menu-editor/ .
2. After the installation, go to Firefox> add-ons (or simply use Ctrl+Shift+A)
3. Go to the Menu Editor "Options"
4. In the "Main context menu," simply grab the "Open link in New Tab" and place it below the "Open Link in New Window"
5. and Voila! You may also change other menu options if you want to!
I tried jay_ff method first and found that indeed changing the Main Context Menu did cause the hotlink context menu to change as well.

Why, when right click on some link the options "OpenLink in New Tab" and "Open Link in New Window" are exchanged?

Why, when right click on some link the options "OpenLink in New Tab" and "Open Link in New Window" are exchanged?

Dear friend, the problem is that there is exchange of something very useful from users an this break them habits! I'm not interested of forced using of tools! Of course it's good that there is a tool to solve my problem, but this action make me unhappy.
last words - this is the way of losing users.

Why did in the right-click menu the "open in a new tab" and the "open in a new window" -buttons change places? And can you change it back?

With the Firefox 4 RC, the "open in a new tab" and the "open in a new window" -buttons have changed places. It's quite annoying because I normally do it without even looking at it, but now it always opens in a new window instead of a new tab. Is it possible to change it back? Maybe in your own settings?

The open new tab (+ sign button) unexpectedly stopped working when I click on the + sign why?

The + sign button that opens a new tab (called Untitled) stopped working. When I go to File, and click on New Tab, that does not work either. I checked the Options and made sure the "Open new window in new tab instead was checked. I tried System Restore, and I downloaded and installed Firefox 5.0. The + sign still does not work. This problem in on my desktop. I checked my laptop and the open new tab + sign button is working fine. What is happening?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions 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.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all 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+ you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

Where is the option to close multiple tabs? It used to be a Right Click in the "List All Tabs" function. Now it's gone!

Well I figured out how to get the Tab Bar back where it should, down below where you can easily get to it, but now I see that the "Close All Other Tabs" option which used to be in the right click menu of the "List All Tabs" arrow has disappeared.
Is there anyway to get that back? This design change is really not as good as 3.5. Also tell that person to slow down. Who can understand what he's saying?
Thanks!

In Firefox 4 the Tab Bar is a regular toolbar and that causes the toolbar context menu to show if you right click.
You can right click the tab that you want to keep to "Close Other Tabs"

How do I change the order of the choices when you right-click on a link? "Open in a new window" used to be first, but in Firefox 4 "Open in a new tab" is first - which I hate using but click on by mistake. Can I change the order back to what it was?

Is there some preferences setting to be able to control the ordering of choices for the right-click menus?

Since updating to 13, in the downloads window, when I right click, the "Open Containig Folder" is dark (so it's available) but when I click it nothing opens

I first noticed this after updating to version 13.x and today I updated to 14.x and hoped the problem would go away but it didn't.
Since 13.x when I see files in the "Downloads" window, if I right-click on one, the "Open Containing Folder" is black (not grayed out) so it indicates that it is available, but when I click on it nothing happens. No folder opens. I can trade down my Windows Explorer and find where it is, but that's a pain, when the "Open Containing Folder" should work and take me right to it.
It does not give me any messages, or ask me to choose any program to use to open, it simply does nothing.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Please check if this happens in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode]. Safe mode disables the installed '''Extensions''', and themes ('''Appearance''') in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons'''. Hardware acceleration is also temporarily disabled - the manual setting is '''Tools''' > '''Options''' > '''Advanced''' > '''General''' > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Advanced%20panel?as=u '''Use hardware acceleration when available''']. 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. Disabling/enabling hardware acceleration, and some types of add-ons in normal mode may require a Firefox restart.

How do I go back to where I was when browsing in the apps store? When I try the choice to go back to the apps store it takes me all the way back to

I meant to pose this as a question.

It's OK that you didn't pose it as a question because the answer is very plain and simple. You can't go back to where you were in the App Store. That's just the way it works unfortunately. you can be twenty screens in to your current browsing experience, and more often than not, you will go all the way to the beginning once you quit looking at the one app that were investigating.
If you hate this feature, or lack therof - you can send feedback to Apple here.

Is there anyway to put Windows XP on a new iMac running Lion?

Purchased new iMac, 27 inch, with Lion OS. Bootcamp 4 only works with Windows 7, right? Will Bootcamp 3 run on Lion OS? Parallels 6 does not work correctly with Quicken. Does anyone know if Parallels 7 will work better, or do I have to buy a copy of Windows 7?

You can run XP in Parallels but you need Parallels 7.x. But you can only install Windows 7 via Boot Camp.

There seems to be a problem between my Eudora on my Mac OSX in that when I click on a link in an e-mail, more and more of them only result in the message "Url is not syntactically valid" and cannot make a connection to the websites.

This seems to be an increasing problem and is occurring between e-mails and company websites which used to function properly. I used to think it was the fault of the website in not making a connection. But now it is occurring in e-mails which used to be successful, so I think it is a problem with Firefox.

This?
*Restore Toolbar Control (Pill) Button: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/restore-toolbar-control-pill-b/

When right-clicking on a link menu briefly appears then disappears. It still works if you can remember how far down to go to reach the "invisible" options. Anyone else having this problem? Is not happening with IE on same computer.

Recently installed Amazon Uploader and Downloader, and downloaded MP3s from Amazon. My personal computer is connected via Internet to a corporate network; (corporate) SOPHOS and Malwarebytes Pro for virus protection. Recent scans show no infections. I cleared history, cookies, etc. Running Windows 7 and current version of Firefox. Not having problem on IE 8, or with any other apps. Have not installed any other applications, but did install a JAVA update yesterday. Did not help the problem.

Ya actually i did ask here :P And no one offered to help :(
Well i shouldnt say that, all anyone said was to read the java api's.... When all i needed was to learn how to make the link to process input to a database by a servlet.
Anyway thats why i posted this here, in case anyone needs help on the same issue as i did.
And i dont make jsp's by hand.
I currently use for my developing
Dreamweaver mx 2004
Firewords mx 2004
Flash mx 2004
MySql db
JCreator for all the bean and java's
=D
That way there is minimal hand coding for html/jsp pages.

When I click on the "new tab" button, or when I click "file, new tab" it doesn't work, also when I click ctrl + T it doesn't open a new tab. I miss my tabbed browsing - ideas?

I have recently upgraded firefox, but this issue began yesterday, before the upgrade. I was hoping the upgrade would correct it, no such luck.

uninstalling the ask toolbar worked for me as well. i wish i would have looked here before I uninstalled the Beta version of Firefox 4.
