Is there a way I can click on a link designed to open in a new window/tab and have it replace the current tab instead?

For example, if I go to [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20435580 an abstract on PubMed] and click on either of the full text icons, Firefox will open a new tab. I want the full text to replace the tab with the abstract, instead.
The best thing I can figure out now is to Ctrl-click the icons so they open in the background, then use Ctrl+W to close the current window.

Hi,
In your Firefox -> Preferences/Options -> Tabs, you can select the check box "When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately". You would still need to go back and close the original tab, but this would help you with part of the issue.
Thanks,
Michelle

My computer is saying it can't find the file 'iTunes64.msi' when I try to update or redownload iTunes how do I fix this? I've tried just about everything I can think of. I am using a dell laptop running windows 7 and have tried changing the file location to run the update in all of my iTunes files as well as when I've tried reinstalling it.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

Clicking on TOC link in CHM Opens in a New Window

Hello RHelpers,
I have some merged help files that are structured like this:
pcdlrn.chm (this is our main help)
     pcdbasic.chm (this is one of several "child" chms that are merged below the main help's own toc)
          automationobjects.chm (and this one is a "grandchild" chm merged into pcdbasic.chm's toc)
(Note that automationobjects.chm is compiled using third party tools. All other helps are RH projects.)
I'm running into a problem with automationobjects.chm when viewed within pcdlrn.chm. If I expand the core.chm TOC until I get to the automationobjects.chm project, and then expand its TOC and click on TOC pages, the automationobjects.chm topics opens up inside of a new instance of the help viewer. I've seen this problem before, and it usually has something to do with the merged help using a different windows definition than the help it's merged into. But they're all using the same help window definition, defined as "HtmlHelp".
What's weird is that if I just open up pcdbasic.chm (the parent help that holds the merged automationobject.chm) and do the same thing, the topics inside automationobjects.chm behave properly, opening inside of the parent chm window as expected.
Any recommendations on getting this to open within a single help viewer when viewed within pcdlrn.chm, its grandparent?
I'm using Windows Vista/32 Bit OS, RoboHelp 7.
Thanks in advance,
Jared

Is there a way I can view/manage devices linked to my iCloud account?

Is there a way I can view/manage devices linked to my iCloud account? I know how to view the devices linked to my iTunes account, but I am not sure if this is possible to see with an iCloud account.

You can't, except by seeing if they are using services associated with the account. You could, for example, launch Find My iPhone on iCloud.com to see what devices appear (which obviously wouldn't show devices not using Find My iPhone). Similarly, you could go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage to see what devices appear on the Backups list (which won't show devices not using iCloud backup).

Is there a way i can burn a dvd to my macbook, then edit sections of that dvd and re-burn those sections i edited to a new dvd?

A DVD is not editable but there is a work around. Create a disk image with your Disk Utility program and put your content on it. When you are finished, burn the DVD using the disk image as your master. Don't delete the image. When you are ready to make edits, edit the content on the disk image and use it to burn the next DVD.

I have an iPod that has music from CD's that I no longer have. The iPod was synced to an old computer that crashed. My current iPhone and my old iPod share an itune's account. Is there a way I can transfer my music from my old iPod to my new computer?

I have an old iPod touch with songs from CD's I no longer have (so they weren't purchased on iTunes). The computer that the songs were synced on crashed a while ago. Is there a way I can sync my old iPod to my new computer and retrieve those songs to get them on my new iPhone? They share an Apple ID and iTuens account.

Most Windows users don't.
Purchase an external hard drive and use the backup software that comes with it to backup files from your computer.
Buy TouchCopy and install it on your new computer, connect your old iPod and transfer your songs to your computer.

I have an Apple Time Capsule which I use for back up. Is there a way I can send my photos to it each time I add new photos? I guess I am asking if there is a way I can use it as an external hard drive?

I take A LOT of pictures as I am an amerature photographer. I have used up almost all of the space on my internal hard drive with photos and music. Is there a way I can use my time capsul as an external hard drive? If so, can anyone direct me where I can go to figure out HOW to do it? I appreciate your help!!!!

Buy a large enough external hard drive you can use to store your pictures permanently. Time Capsule is not a good choice for this. Keep your backups separate from your storage needs.

No problem. It will sync fine. You do not need to do anything special.

How do I make it the default that when I click on a link it will open in a new tab?

Particularly when I am doing a Google search, but also when I am in a site, I find I frequently have to right click and force 'open in a new tab' to avoid the link overriding the current tab. I want to have all links I click on automatically open in a new tab. My settings are set to go to the new tab immediately - that works fine - but too often I have to immediately back-page and re-click using the right-click menu to avoid losing my search or origin page. This is annoying when there are several links I want to explore, and have to backtrack to get to them.
Firefox is my default browser, 29.0.1 at the moment, and it runs on an old Dell laptop using WinXP. Before asking this I did check the available support info without finding an answer. I followed the instructions in the article about Google and the about:config but it did no good - it still defaults to opening in the current tab. It might seem like a small thing but in my search for answers I saw some folks who have the reverse problem - they want links to open in the same tab - so clearly it is a settings issue. How do I fine tune mine to get the result I prefer? Thanks!!

Google search and other websites have a user preference that can be set to open a search result in a new tab or a new window, for users who are logged in to their website.
Otherwise, when you don't have a 3-button mouse or a scroll pad with "middle-click" functionality, you can use '''{Ctrl + Click}''' to open a hyperlink in a new Tab.

Is there a way I can click

I am trying to create a movie & I would to use pictures from a web page, that are not in my photo album.
Is there a way to do this, I tried click & drag but with no success.
Thanks

Drag photos from a webpage to your desktop first and make sure they are in the correct format, you can use preview to convert them should they need it.

Is there a way to make Search Bar results appear in a new tab (as opposed to in the current tab)?

I'm new to Firefox, but find it a vast improvement over IE. I just find it cumbersome to have to open a new tab before I use the Search Bar...I would much prefer an option akin to "Search results appear in new tab."
Thanks for the help!

Edit: I found it.
This preference can be changed using about:config
(1) Type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter (click the button promising to be careful, and please do be careful!)
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''search''' and pause until the preferences are filtered
(3) Double-click '''browser.search.openintab''' to change it to true. You're done, you can close about:config now.

Are you a keyboard person or a mouse person?
Using the keyboard, after typing your query, hold the Alt key while pressing Enter to open the search results in a new tab. This also works in the address bar: when you type the name of a new site, hold Alt when pressing Enter to open that site in a new tab.
Using the mouse, hold the Ctrl key while clicking the magnifying glass icon.
Is there a way to ''always'' open search results in a new tab without having to use Alt or Ctrl? Hmmm, maybe, I haven't researched that.

Is there a keyboard shortcut to move to the next tab right or left from the current tab?

In a tab group is there a keyboard shortcut to move to the next tab right or left; to cycle through the tabs?
I already know about ctrl-1 through 8

Try use '''Ctrl+Tab''' and '''Ctrl'''+'''Shift'''+'''Tab'''

Is there a way to right click a text link to add it to bookmarks?

I can't find an add-on that lets me do this either.
If I highlight a text link, like the shared link on a youtube video, there is no option to bookmark that link directly.
Why is it not possible to do this?

It shouldn't but it was one of the few things I could think of in the realm of possibilities.
It's more than likely the GET data then. They format it in such a way that it's a random string.
Isn't that an issue that not all links are able to be processed in that manner?
I mean for something as popular as YouTube.
I hate to keep using that, but similar instances are becoming increasingly common.
Obviously I'm new to mozilla's support but maybe it's something worth mentioning, if it made me ask this and I rarely even use this type of feature.

Is there a way I can click on a link designed to open in a new window/tab and have it replace the current tab instead?
