Is it possible to open web help as a normal new tab and not as pop-up?

Hello,
Is there a way that I can open context-sensitive web help in a new normal tab instead of having it as a pop-up so we can get rid of the pop up blocker?
Thank you,

This is set from the calls. Depending on precisely how your developers are calling the help, a small change in your output may be required.
You can give the following pages to your dev:
Overview of options and how to use it: Calling Webhelp
All your options in detail: Context sensitivity in WebHelp and FlashHelp
Kind regards,
Willam

If I open a PDF doc in a new tab and then try and close the tab with ctrl-w it will try and close all tabs unless I switch to another tab and back again.

Running Firefox beta and Adobe Acrobat 10. If I open a PDF document in a new tab, say http://support.avaya.com/css/P8/documents/100146419, and then try and close the tab using ctrl-w, I get the message warning me about closing all tabs. If I switch to another tab and then back to the PDF document and then hit ctrl-w, it will just close that one tab and not all tabs.
Cheers.

I've just been playing around and I set dom.ipc.plugins.enabled to true and now it closes the PDF document but not the tab. I have to do ctrl-w again to close the tab. However, leaving that set to true ruins the scroll mouse functionality as Acroread seems to want it all to itself.

How do I get Firefox to open a blank website when I open a new tab and not this "Bing" search engine page?

Whenever I open a blank tab I'm taken to some page where I can search the web with a search engine called Bing. This isn't a major problem but it causes a LOT of annoyance since the cursor is right in the search engine box and not in the address bar like before. Like I said, not a major problem, just annoying and I'd like it fixed if I can.

This article maybe helps to you

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

Mac users can do the following...

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.

How can I get any of the search requests to open in a new tab and not the current window. I have just downloaded the new FF8

In my previous version of FF, whenever I did a search with any search engine the results opened in a new tab. Now with FF8 the results open in the current window which really is inconvenient. How do I get the search results to open in a new tab instead?
I have Windows xp FF8

To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default via the right-click context menu if they are user set
*Preferences can be changed via the right-click context menu: Modify (String or Integer) or Toggle (Boolean)
Use the Filter at the top of the page to locate this pref: browser.search.openintab
If the value of the browser.search.openintab pref is false then toggle the value to true with a double click on that line.

How open link in a new tab and NOT switch to it imidiately?

How do I open a link in a new tab, without switching to it imidiately?
I have written a custom start page (basic HTML) with rel=nofollow links, so they open in new tabs, but I have to hold the ctrl key to get it to open in the background/not swtich to it imidiately.
I have also changed browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground to true (posted by blademasterbobo in a another question/answer)
I also have "open link in new tab" add-on installed.

[solved]
'open link in new tab" addon was mucking it up. when I disable the addon, tabs open in the background.

How do I get a favorite or bookmark to open in a new tab automatically, not in the one I am working in? The tab options/settings are unhelpful.

I have 2 laptops. Both have Firefox as my number one preference.
One computer, is set up correctly, If I am on a site, tap on a bookmark site, it will open in a new tab and not interfere with my current tab. It's wonderful.
The other Firefox, if I click a bookmark it will open in the CURRENT tab, changing the tab to the selected bookmark.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled FF, but that did not correct the issue. I have read the tab options and help desk, but that doesnt help either.
ANY HELP? :)

There is no built-in setting for redirecting a bookmark to a new tab.
Is it possible that the computer which does that has an add-on such as the Tab Mix Plus extension installed? TMP has a setting for that (Events > Tab Opening).

How to open a Live Bookmark in a new tab by default?

Is it possible to open a RSS / webfeed in a new tab by default? I mean, open a post from any of my feed streams in the Bookmarks Tool by a single click — not middle click, nor right click.
Is there something I can change or create at about:config?
Thanks a lot.

Sorry again, Xircal. I've been taking a look at several add-ons from that search results but seems there's no function doing that simple task I'm asking for.
I think there's problem could be solved by an advanced configuration at ''about:config'', but I have no idea. :(

If I want to open the same website in a second tab and press Ctrl+T and start typing the website title or URL, why does Firefox 4 insist on switching to the first tab? Is it possible to turn this off?

I regularly need to open the same website in two tabs, to be able to view changes made between opening the first and second tabs. In Firefox 3.x I could press Ctrl+T and start typing the website title or URL, which would be auto-completed by Firefox. This enabled me to quickly open the same website in a second tab. Firefox 4 does not do this, instead it wants me to switch to the existing tab. This is not what I need.
Of course it is possible to open the same website in a second tab via e.g. a bookmark, but this takes more time and effort. It would be great if I could select Firefox's behavior in this situation.

To create a duplicate of an existing tab in Firefox 4, do one of the following:
*middle-click the icon on the left end of the URL/Location/Address Bar
*hold down the Ctrl key and drag the tab until a small arrow appears at the border between tabs, then release the mouse button, then release the Ctrl key.

Is it possible to open Account Search window in a new page

Hi All,
Is it possible to open Account Search window in a new page instead of displaying Account Search on Work center page.
Any pointers will be helpful.
Thanks,
Udaya

Have a look at the NavBar component and the generic workcenter component. If you are lucky, they utilize one common method for navigation. I would try to put some custom coding in there and use it to open the new link inside a popup.
Never tried it before as the necessity never occured to me. Thus I can not help you any further. It is just an idea.
Maybe you get some good results and can post them here
cheers Carsten

A new tab will not open except will when I use Foxfire help. Nothing works. My setting are to open new tabs but it doesn't work. Why?

Foxfire won't let me open a new tab. I have my setting set to open a new tab. I've clicked on it and nothing happens. I've right clicked and selected open new tab and nothing happens. When I go to Foxfire for help it will open a new tab for help. When I try to use this tab to browse, anything in the other window gets shut down.

1. In the Tools menu select Add-ons to open the add-ons manager.
2. In the Add-ons manager select the Extensions panel
3. In the list of Extensions click on Ask Toolbar, then click the Uninstall button
4. Restart Firefox and the Ask toolbar will be uninstalled.
I found this solution and it worked!

You can change a preference to make tabs open
# at the end of all open tabs
# immediately after the current tab.
See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config
*Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and press the Enter key.
*If you see the warning, accept it (promise to be careful).
*Filter = browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent
*Look at the "Value" column ('''false'''=open at end, '''true'''=open after current tab); Value = true is the default.
*Double-click that preference to toggle the value from true to false, or false to true
*Restart Firefox (File > Restart Firefox)

Well, it is showing as being install in the version of Firefox that you posted here with.

New tab will not open web page

*error message when opening firefox= "Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem. If you continue to use this session, you might see incorrect application behaviour when accessing security features."
*new tabs do not open web pages
*plugin container.exe and updater.exe do not open or run

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
