Links in Mail (Mac) no longer open a new window in Firefox.

When I click on a link in a Mail (Version 4.4 (1082)) message, it simply defaults to the existing open tab in Firefox, rather than opening a new tab and the page indicated by the link. This just started today and I don't know of anything I changed, other than upgrading to Snow Leopard (Version 10.6.6) a few weeks ago. I searched preferences in Mail and Firefox but did not see options.

Hi Barbara,
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
Also, Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.

When I try to open a new window in Firefox, I get an error message

When I try to open a new window in Firefox, I get the following error message:
"Not Found
The requested URL /en-US/firefox was not found on this server."
...but other websites, such as Google or CNN.com, work just fine.
I'm running Firefox 3.6.28 on my MacBook Pro, with OS 10.4.11. I can't update to the latest version of Firefox unless I update my OS, which would be costly and also involve increasing my RAM.
But the Firefox homepage worked fine until this morning. Is this likely to be a temporary glitch? If not, how can I fix it?
Thanks,
Emmy

At least at the moment, the default Firefox homepage is back! So maybe this was a momentary glitch. But see below.
BTW, here's the URL for the page:
http://start.mozilla.org/en-US/?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official
'''But, '''the "Mozilla Firefox Start Page" currently lacks a menu bar at the top with various Google options such as "Gmail," "more," etc. I found these very useful.
I'm wondering -- did Google tell Mozilla to stop including those links on its start page? Maybe Google wants us all to switch to having Google as our default homepage. Or is the lack of a menu bar just another temporary glitch?

Whenever I open a new window of firefox a new tab opens with the new window. How do I get it to stop doing that?

Whenever I open a new window of Firefox, the new window opens at the hope page (like I want it to), but then a tab opens up with the new window. I want Firefox to stop doing this. When I open a new window I just want the window to open. I don't know how to fix this as I have know idea how I made this happen. This first happened when I hit control + N to open a new window, but I didn't hit the "N" cleanly. I pressed one of the other keys around the "N" and this issue started.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

I am forced into facebook when I open a new window in firefox

When I press the + sign to open a new window in firefox the new window opens with a facebook registration scheme. I do not use facebook and have no intention to use it, so I do not want this page. This started with the new upgrade a few days ago. At the same time I also got problems with other things in firefox.
Does anyone know how I can get rid of the facebook registry page?

Hi tomab,
By default Firefox opens a blank tab when you hit the tab button. The fact that is shows an actual page leads me to believe that you have an add-on or something else causing your issue. I'd try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting-extensions-themes Extensions and Themes troubleshooting guide ] and the [[Troubleshooting plugins]] article as well.
Hopefully this helps!

Suddenly blue links in Mail message no longer open

Assisting an elderly relative. He has a six year old iMac running Tiger. Uses Apple Mail
He has two mail accounts. One from his ISP (POP) and an IMAP account for his AOL mail. The latter is the account into which most of his messages come.
Suddenly last week he finds that hyperlinks in any mail message no longer open. Formerly he clicked on the blue link and the link opened in Safari.
Now nothing happens when he clicks on a blue link which has been included in a mail message. Control clicking on the link also does not work.
What might have gone wrong and how do we fix this?
(His browser is working perfectly ; links on a web page open)

I can't open a new window in Firefox 4 on my mac. Was working great. I installed new mac firmware and restarted, probably without closing Firefox properly. Now window won't open.

Hi:
As noted above, Firefox won't open a new window. I restarted machine without closing Firefox. Now, I get the Firefox menu bar but it won't open a window. I'm using mac, with OS X 10.6

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.

In Firefox 5 links with target="_blank" don't open in new window or tab. Is there a way to make them do that?

I've search some info about this and it seems like there's a lot of people that are annoyed by links opening in new window/tab and that the 'target="_blank"' is not valid in strict XHTML. I'm guessing this could be reasons why Firefox 5 ignores the 'target="_blank"'. But in some cases you really want to open a new widow, in my case I'm using a flash application and want to open links in new windows from there and then the ctrl-click doesn't work. When opening the link in the same page and then go back the application is reloaded and it's state is lost. Probably should try to find out if there's some other way to open links from a flash application, but I'm wondering if there's a way to make Firefox 5 open 'target="_blank"' links in new tabs.

I don't know how to delete my question, anyway I'm not having this problem anymore. In our organisation the IT department deploy Firefox updates with certain settings and limitations, in the tap-options the checkbox for opening new windows in new tabs where checked but disabled. They made some changes to make this checkbox enabled and now it works as expected if it's check new windows open i new tabs and if it's not in new windows. They never opens in the same tab as they did before.

I can no longer open a new tab in firefox

I cannot open a new tab in firefox. If I click on a link, a new tab opens, but if I use the new tab button or control t nothing happens. I used to be able to open multiple tabs, but suddenly this changed. Can you tell my why?

Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.

Hello Every1,

Using Firefox 5 in Windows 7, once I have Firefox open, I can no longer open a new window using the start button. How do I fix?

As I stated, I have Windows 7 on my laptop and have installed Firefox 5. I sometimes like to have multiple windows of the browser open. But, unlike any previous version of Firefox, now when I have the browser open, when I try to open a new window using the Start menu, it will not open one. I have to use Ctrl+N. Why did this change?
This may seem insignificant but it really hampers my work flow. For one, with other applications, Shift+N is what opens a new window. For two, I've been doing with with my browsers for years now and it's like second nature for me - having to remember that in Firefox it's Ctrl+N is a pain in my tuccus.
Firefox is my go to browser and I would like it to stay that way. Please find the solution for me! I have tried looking using Tools, Options, as well as looking at my start menu and taskbar options, and no dice.

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).

URL Iview is not open a new Window in FireFox

Hi Guys,
After we upgrade our portal to NW 7.0 EHp2 SP6 , we can not open the URL Iviews in Firefox.
It looks like can't force the iview to open a new window and instead it open a new tab , Any suggestion?
Thanks,

Hi Mar,
To me, the PAM mentioned Firefox 3.5 is not recommended for NW 7.0 Ehp2 - Firefox 3.6 is supported for NW 7.0 Ehp2 starting with SPS6.
Anyway, if it works in IE & Safari, I don't think it has anything to do with the portal; it's something in Firefox settings. As mentioned before, did you check the option to open new links in new windows? Also, please checkSAP Note 1296463 and its related notes about browsers to see if there's something relevant to your case.

When firefox opens a new window for games or surveys,it makes annoying sounds that sound like mario brothers,Is there a way to stop this?

I have the same problem that started about an hour ago. Firefox started sounding like pac man. I uninstalled and reinstalled 3.6.3 to no avail. I guess I use IE until firefox fixes it.

When i click a link on any web page mozilla opens a new window instead of opening the link on the opened window?

when clicking on any link on any webpage a new window opens.
Eg. On the bbc home page if you click "news" a new window opens instead of going to the news page of the web.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes). 
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]] 
 
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. 
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions. 
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

When I select a link on a site and this opens a new instance of Firefox, the link page is blank; but OK when the link is displayed in a new tab on same instance of Firefox.

''Duplicate post, continue here - [/questions/775444]''
This happens on many sites eg just went to Virgin Media
http://www.broadband-finder.co.uk/broadband-directory/virgin-media/?li=3
and tried to click on one of the 3 More Info boxes (Just Broadband, Broadband and Phone,... etc). Each time I click the More Info box, a new instance of Firefox is opened with a blank page showing and 'Untitled' in the tab heading.
Is there a setting somewhere where I can stop these links opening a new instance - or at least display the information if they do?
