Link in a new window

How can I have a link open in a new window?
I did not see any such functions in the link inspector.

Me neither. I think this is a great enhancement for iWeb 1.0.1 or 1.1 or whatever.

Firefox won't open mailto links in a new window like it used to...it just opens gmail in the current tab.

I recently upgraded firefox and now whenever I click a mailto link it opens gmail in the current tab rather than in a new window. How can I get it to open email links in a new window.

My MAILTO problem was finally fixed on the June 29, 2012 Firefox version 14 beta 10 release.

Using Firefox 4.0 Beta 4. When I open a link in a new window, the web address does not show in the location bar. Why?

When I open a web page link in "a new window" the link opens, but the web page information does not appear in the location bar. It is blank. If I open the link in a new tab, there is ho problem.
Further, if a open a link from the tab without a location in a new tab on the same window and then go back to the original tab, the location bar fills with the web address.
Have done this starting in several locations, so it not location dependent.

That behaviour is likely top be caused by an add-on, and in your case the likely culprit is IE Tab 2, the various versions of IE Tab have caused problems with Firefox 4 beta including issues with the location bar not being updated.
You can test to see if IE Tab 2 is causing your problem by disabling it and then seeing if the location bar in a new window shows the address. If it is not that add-on causing the problem, see [[troubleshooting extensions and themes]].
For info, the IE Tab Plus add-on has been updated recently to improve compatibility with Firefox 4 beta, you may want to try that one instead. The latest version is available from http://coralietab.mozdev.org/installation.html

I would like to open links in a new window but cannot find where to put the setting. Have unchecked the "Open new windows in new tab instead" box in the Options dialog box.

When I click a link on a webpage or other software, I would like for it to open in a completely new window.

You can hold the Shift key and click the left mouse button a link to open that link in a new window.
The setting in Tools > Options > Tabs is only for links that specify a target window and you can divert such a link to a new tab instead.

New tabs are not updating the names of the sites they have loaded. When I open a new tab and load a site, the tab simply stays named "New Tab". When I open a link in a new window, it shows "Connecting..." even while its fully loaded.

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.

When I start mozilla or open any link in a new window I get the desired page to load but an additional new tab page opens up along with it, fix?

When I start mozilla or open any link in a new window I get the desired page to load but an additional new tab page opens up along with it. I've tried switching my homepage to different things (new tab, firefox home, show blank page) but I always get an additional new tab to open. How do I get only a single page to open?

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. 
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
'''For Firefox versions previous to 29.0:'''
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]] button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
'''For Firefox 29.0 and above:'''
#Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''.
Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
#At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]]. Click on it.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Thank you.

Button opens link in a new window

Hello everyone,
This is a rather simple question for all gurus out there, but
it seems a bit hard to find on documentation. How can you open a
link in a new window with a button in a flash form? I want a button
on my form to pop a new window with a specified link (say,
www.adobe.com or whatever). How would you approach this?

I recently updated to version 5.0, however, when I open up a link in a new window, there is no address in the new window's address bar, just a blank box.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] 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 [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

Today I think firefox automatically installed a new version and after that it said my adobe flash was old so I had to update that. Now I can't open links in a new window.

Firefox doesn't install new versions of plugins, but Flash may update itself automatically. 
You are still one version behind on Flash, current is Flash 10.1 r85 
If the Flash player didn't update properly then you need to download the full version and run the installer as Administrator (right-click: Run as ...)
Flash Global Notifications Settings Panel: 
*http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager05.html
You are more versions behind on Java updates with having Java 6 U11, current is 6 U22.
*Java Plug-in 1.6.0_11 for Netscape Navigator (DLL Helper)
Update the [[Java]] plugin to the latest version.

Force firefox to open links in a new window

How can I force firefox to open a link in a new window? Right now it opens the link in the same window, no matter how I configure the settings. Frustrating.
Thanks

Firefox does not have a built-in setting to open all links in a new window. Normally, you would need to hold down the Shift key when clicking the link (Shift+click) or use right-click > Open Link in New Window.
You may be able to find an add-on that adds this feature. I know there are various add-ons to open links in a ''new tab'', but I don't know about a new window.
If the problem is particular to Google search results, there is a setting in Google itself to switch the links from same window to new window. That can be found on the search preferences page:
https://www.google.com/preferences#nwc
This preference is saved in a cookie, so if you clear cookies often, then you would need to revisit that page often.

When users open links in a new window

We have a report that shows many rows of data together with a link to drill down on a particular row by branching to another page, passing the row PK as a parameter - standard stuff.
However, some of our users like to use the browser facility to open the link in a new window. They then go back to the report and maybe open another link in another new window.
Now they have 2 new windows open, supposedly showing 2 different sets of data. But since the windows share the same SESSION value, the session state gets mixed up. If they click the 2 links quickly enough they can even end up with the same data displayed in both windows.
I realise that I can avoid this by NOT passing the session ID. But since the user could do this with any link, that means NEVER passing the session ID in any link, so effectively not having any persistent session state.
Is it possible to:
- prevent the user from opening the link in a new window?
- recognize that the user has opened the link in a new window and start a new session?
This must be a potential issue for all ApEx applications, so I am sure someone has solved it already!

Actually, I have been looking at ways of detecting that a new window has been opened using Javascript - like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
function checkIfSpawned() {
var lsBrowser = navigator.appName;
var lsNumPages;
if (lsBrowser.indexOf("Microsoft") >= 0)
lsNumPages = 0;
else
lsNumPages = 1;
if (history.length <= lsNumPages) location.replace('f?p=103:4');
</script>i.e. if there is no browser history then bring up a special page instead that simply says "sorry, you can't open this page in a new window".
However, there are other ways to end up with the same session in two or more browser windows (saving page including session_id in Favorites, simple cut and paste...) so I am still looking for other ideas. I think there are two ways in which this can be a problem:
1) Opening the same page with different parameters in two windows simultaneously: the second overwrites the session state of the first, but the first is still rendering and reading the session state. I am exploring whether we can detect that that has happened somehow and raise an error in the corrupted window. For example, perhaps we can save the parameter values into package variables in an On Load, Before Header process and then compare the session state and package values in an On Load, After Footer process: if they are different, the page has been corrupted and we raise an error. (I am very much thinking aloud here, I haven't tried anything yet).
2) With two windows open with same session_id (however that occurs): we cannot rely on the values in session state, only on values in items that are part of the current page. For example, if we have a 2-page wizard with pages 1001 and 1002, then we should not refer to P1001_XXX items when in page 1002. So we have to pass the values from 1001 to 1002 either as parameters, or perhaps by storing them in a table associated with a unique sequence value generated for the transaction, and then passing the sequence value as a parameter. (Again, thinking aloud here).

I click a link but it doesn't open. Instead I get a popup saying "Open the link in a new window," "Open link in a new tab," etc. How can I kill this popup or whatever it is forever?

That happens if the server sends the file as text/plain.
You can see this if you open "Tools > Page Info > General": Content-Type: text/plain
Files send this way will always open in a tab.

RoboHelp 10 Skin Navigation Button - Link Open in New Window

I'm using RoboHelp 10 and am trying to get the button in my navigation skin to open a link in a new window. I researched this extensively and have not been able to get it to work. Can you please assist?

Is that link for some external website or some pdf file etc?
When you create a button on a skin and ask it open a file it should do that in the web browser.
If the link is for a website etc then it might give you the following link but you can still open the url in a new window by clicking on 'Open this content in a new window".

Opening a link in a new window

Hi
How do I get a converted MSWord link to open in a completely new window, not just display in the current applciation window?
Mikw

I have same question. I set up in Word to open link in a new window, but when I convert into PDF - all links open in the same window. I have 30-50 links in file so it's difficulty to replace all links in Acrobat 9 Pro and set option "open in new windows". Is there any solution?

Opening a link in a new window puts its entry in history while browsing in private mode.Does it suppose to work in this way?

<blockquote>Locking duplicate thread. 
Please continue here: [/questions/785616]</blockquote> 
I have set Firefox to never remember history.This is equivalent to private browsing but whenever I open a link in a new window I can see an entry in the History menu under "Recently Closed Windows". Firefox should not remember any type of history when I already said it do so.

Hi,
the only way I know of the is to go to file and click for a new Window.
Sounds like tabs maybe your thing, from Safari's Helpviewer. for more info look there.......
To turn on tabbed browsing, choose Preferences from the Safari menu and click Tab. Select Enable Tabbed Browsing.
To open a link or bookmark in the bookmarks bar in a new tab, hold down the Command key and click the item, or hold down the Control key, click the item, and choose Open in New Tab from the shortcut menu.
To open a bookmark collection in the bookmarks bar or a folder of bookmarks in the Bookmarks Library in tabs, hold down the Control key, click the collection or folder, and choose Open in Tabs from the shortcut menu.
If you select the Auto-Click checkbox for a folder in the bookmarks bar, then you can open all the bookmarks in the folder in tabs by clicking the folder name in the bookmarks bar.
To open a webpage in a new tab, choose New Tab from the File menu and type the address for the page.
To close a tab, click the close button in the tab.
To quickly switch between tabs, press Command-Shift-[ and Command-Shift-].
To show a webpage that is in a tab and close all other tabs, hold down the Option key and click the close box in the tab you want to remain open.
When you click a link in a page you are viewing in a tab, the page opens in the current tab. Click the Back and Forward buttons in the address bar to scan pages you have opened in a tab.
If you choose a page from the History or Bookmarks menu, the page opens in the current tab.
Hope it helps you do what i think you are looking for.
Cheers
Eme

When I'm on a page with many links it used to highlight or underline the link I was looking at ... so when it opened the link in a new window, I could look back and not lose my place

It sounds like you have chosen a publishing template rather than a word processing template. There are two basic modes in MS Word: word processing and publishing layout. Word processing mode (and all word processing templates) have a continuous text box in the page for writing text. The publishing layout mode (and publishing templates) are documents that have text boxes placed for articles, titles, pictures, etc. Be sure to choose the word document template and you’ll get what you expect. Do not choose the word publishing document.
