Link to published course only works when you right-click open in new tab/window (Firefox)

I have encountered an issue where my published captivate course will not load correctly (all I get is a black screen) in Firefox when clicking on the web link. All I get is a black screen. Refreshing doesn't help either. However if I instead right click on the hyperlink and select "open in a new tab" or "open in a new window" the course loads properly. I have been told that it works just fine in IE and Chrome.
If any of you would like to test this in Firefox visit http://www.wakeprecinctofficials.com/p/training-resources.html and the link in question is called the Laptop 101 Online Course. I appreciate any help. Thanks

I tested your link in Firefox 3.6 and IE9. Black screen only in Firefox. Works fine in IE.
Try removing the lines above the <HTML> tag that say:

When I link to an external site, the link does not work, if I right click "Open in new tab" the link works.

I have not changed any of my preferences and they look like they are as I would have left them.
I tried resetting Firefox and deleting the preference file, no change.
By the way, I hate that the tabs are on top and not where they belong above the pages they are for. There should still be a way in Firefox to put them back without having to use an add-in.

When i right-click 'open in new tab', it opens new window instead.

that's pretty much it - when i want to open a link and i right click on it and select OPEN IN NEW TAB, firefox opens a new window instead. this started quite recently and i have not made any changes to cause it.

I had this problem too. Inspired by cor-el's suggestion, I just disabled Tab Mix Plus 0.4.0, and the problem went away.
What is a little weird about it is that for me, all new tabs opened in the '''same''' windows. I could have several windows open, but every new tab opened in just one window, and always the same one.

Firefox immediately switching to new tab even when that feature is disabled on right-click open in new tab or on ctrl+click a link. Please help.

Firefox switches immediately to new tab or the immediate next tab if multiple tabs are open, even when the respective feature is disabled, whenever I open a link by -
1. Right-click > open in new tab
2. Ctrl + click a link
Earlier it did not happen like this. It is really very annoying. Re-installation and clean installation of the latest version did not helped.
And this is happening mainly when I am using Facebook. Earlier it never happened so with Facebook.

I don't have the divX plug-in and I still have this problem. Why should plug-ins that are not even triggered by the affected pages alter Firefox's behavior. Feels like bad architecture.

Google search page on the iPad, issues when you try to open a new tab. Anyone noticed this? It is a recent development. Does not happen on any other website.

Till recently there was no issue opening a new tab after doing a search on google for an issue. For the last ten days or so I am having this experience of inconsistency. Has anyone noticed it. On the other hand if I visit any other web pages it works smooth to open a new tab.

May be it is working fine for you. But then i am experiencing the issue again and again. someone else was also facing the same issue on another forum.

What is wrong when you try to open a new tab, but the new tab does not appear?

I have been trying to open up multiple websites by using the "open a new tab" button. When I do this, no new tab appears. Please help.

Please uninstall or disable the Ask Toolbar extension to solve your problem.

Suddenly every link I click opens as a window even if I right click "Open in new tab" it will open as a window. How can I fix this?

I've tried going to Options > Tabs > open new window in tab instead and still it happens.

Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

Is it possible to have Flash open the menu when you right click a link?

I'm using sIFR 3 on a few of my websites. Personally I think it's a really cool and nice solution. I have had no issues with it so far except what I've recently discovered.
When you right click on a link (or control click on a mac) it should have the normal menu you'd get if you clicked on a regular HTML link. Also when you hover over the link it doesn't display the status in the status bar (i.e. the URL the link will take you to if you click it).
Anyways, I'm trying to come up with a workaround to this (personally I think the developers should have already thought of one but I guess not). That being said I'm wondering if Flash can do something like that. Is there a code I can put in the Actionscript to tell it to open up the browser menu when someone right clicks or control clicks a link?
For some reason I'm thinking this isn't possible without JavaScript but I have had some people telling me in the current version of Flash it isn't possible at all. I'd be interested in hearing everyone else's opinion.
To see what I'm talking about check out this website I'm building here... http://dev.thinktecmediagroup.com/fibre-federal/
Notice that the top navigation (and side navigation) is all done using sIFR. IF you try and right click (or control click on Mac) on one of the links you'll see nothing happens.

Probleme solved without having to change anything in the flash.
The solution was to add a small part in the CSS in HTML
html {
overflow-x: hidden;
overflow-y: auto;
Solve probleme. All browser. VERY usefull to know !

My CD/DVD drive runs constantly. Also, when you right click, only get outline of box, not info within box

CD/DVD drive runs constantly when Firefox is open, sometimes when not open as well. Also, when you right click within Firefox, you just get outline of box, but no info inside box. I have to shutdown computer and restart.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

I'm in Safari, is there a way to change the order when you right click a link? Just upgraded to Mavrick OS

I'm in Safari, is there a way to change the order when you right click a link? Just upgraded to Mavrick OS

You can do that with the Menu Editor extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/menu-editor/
This extension has not been updated by its author in a couple of years, but another developer has updated it for Firefox 4, you can get the updated version from http://netticat.ath.cx/MyAddons/MyAddons.htm#3rdpartyaddons

When I choose to open a new tab from a website, such as facebook, it always opens it in a new window. How do I change this to just opening a new tab. I tried changing the tab settings but it did not work. I did not have the problem until I started using firefox 4.

It is probably a JavaScript link.
You can probably force it where you want it with a keyboard shortcut
either "Ctrl+click" or "Ctrl+Shift+click". see
* Firefox and other Browser Keyboard Shortcuts (Comparison Table) http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/keyboard.htm
''Did that work?''
Some styles that provide a warning as to the type of link:

On my own website vdha.us, I am now getting many words that are purple and when you mouse over them, a new spamming window opens trying to sell something. IE-9 does not do this. How do I turn this off in firefox?

Sirs,
The below URL came up immediately when I tried to access our Newfangled website this morning http://vdha.us :
http://surveyprizecenter.com/survey/claimgift-GT-kw-7b.php?t202kw=Vdha.us&trimmedKeyword=Vdha.us
I prefer to use Firefox and very seldom use IE-9. but now I might be forced to remove Firefox 4.0.1 and resort to using IE-9 because of this situation.
I don’t know how spammers can use our website to exploit their spamming, but I can only imagine the complaints I am going to get from our Board of Directors and members about this.
Can you make them stop, or at least explain how it is that anyone can do this without our permission.
We have never allowed advertisement on our website and don’t plan on starting now.
I am now also getting many words that are purple with two lines under them, and when you mouse over them, a new spamming window opens automatically trying to sell something. How do I turn this off?
I would appreciate any expediency in the return of an answer that you can provide.
Kindest Regards,

The "MySearchDial" app needs to be removed in 4 places.
1) Go to "add / remove programs" in your windows control panel select mysearchdial and remove it.
2) Open your Firefox browser then click the Firefox tab at the top left and select options. You will need to change the start page settings back to your preferred start page.
3) Again under the Firefox tab select "add-ons". In the add-ons manager you will need to remove mysearchdial from both "plugins" and "extensions"
4) In your search bar (top right of address bar" use the drop down menu and select "manage search engines". You can restore your preferred search engine and remove mysearchdial from the menu.
This should remove all the components of the nuisance hijacker and restore your browser back to your preferred settings. If you are comfortable with a more in depth removal I would also suggest going to your "programs" folder within the "C" drive of your machine and deleting the "MySearchDial" folder altogether. However, only do this AFTER you have uninstalled it from your system and if you are familiar with this type of removal.

When I try to open a new tab using the "+" on the toolbar, nothing happens. Even trying to use the cntl t to open a new tab does not work. To open a new tab, I must right click on a hyperlink. how can I correct this? Using Firefox 3.6.18

The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

Where is PLIST to "OPEN WITH" when you right click on a file ?

When I right click on a file to open it using the "OPEN WITH" command it shows two or three of the SAME applications. For example it shows preview, preview, and preview if I right click on a picture on my desktop. These are ghost icons that all open the same version of preview.
I think a plist file is messed up but what one takes care of the 'OPEN WITH' command when you right click on an icon?
I would like a few opinions of possible or any ideas.
These started after I cloned my hard drive. I cloned it with three different applications and all produce the same results.
Thanks

red_menace you are Not a menace. You are a genius. It fixed my problem!
I put this code in the terminal:
/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/\Frameworks/LaunchServi ces.framework/Support/lsregister \-kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
Then press return. Wait until terminal returns to the command line. Quit Terminal. After that, log out and back in or restart.
IT WAS FIXED!!!
THANKS A MILLION!!

Yahoo mail won't download .bmp files when you right click, it saves as html.

I use yahoo mail and a lot of my groups send pictures imbedded. I can right click and save image with .jpg files, but .bmp files save web pages instead of bitmap. I can use Internet Explorer and save image (as .bmp files) when I right click.
I'm using Windows XP if that makes a difference.

go mail.yahoo.com as the login entrance for yahoo mail.
