Links in webviewer won't open new tab or window

I want to link out to a test, which once completed can be closed and one can resume reading. my iOS and android folios work great, webviewer not so much.
Link out works, back button goes to cover, I have tried both buttons and hyperlinks and I have tried both open in the in app browser and open in device browser, all open in same window, no new tab
I'm game for any workaround.

Hi everyone, I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I have been very very frustrated by this problem. [I could not create new windows, and anything that opens new windows, such as trying to see what Add-ons you have etc would not work]. I read about changing screen alignment to the top... I have one screen so the option does not exist. The above messages would not fix this problem. I searched hard and did find a solution in the end. I read stuff about removing Add-ons until the problem is fixed, but its simply not the case.
First of all open Firefox. next go to options: Help --- 'Restart with Add-ons disabled'. Tick the box for add-ons, restart firefox. Next go to Tools --- Add-ons. Next (In the Add-ons Manager' click on 'Plugins' on the left hand side pane. Look for the small blue writing that says 'Check to see if your plugins are up to date'.
Now notice it should say 'Missing Flash'. "For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Flash. Please upgrade to the latest version". I followed this, reinstalled Flash and it now works as it always did, no problems. For people where the above fix didn't work, try this one out. Hope it helps people!

Firefox will only open once from desktop and won't open new tabs or windows

When I clicked on Firefox's desktop icon this morning it took a solid 5 minutes for the browser window to open, and at that time I just chalked it up to my computer being slow.
Once it did open I soon encountered the first problem: when I clicked on "Open Link in New Window" or "Open Link in New Tab" nothing happened. Subsequently, when I did navigate to a website I was unable to click on any links whatsoever. I closed the window and tried to restart Firefox which is when I ran into the second problem: it wouldn't open. I opened the Task Manager and terminated firefox.exe, attempted to open via both the desktop icon and program folder but had no luck. If I restart my computer I'm able to open just the one browser window but with the same results of the first issue I mentioned.
I've tried all of Mozilla's troubleshooting tips in the "Firefox will not start" section with no luck. I've also uninstalled then reinstalled with no luck.

Embedded links in emails won't open new window or tab in FF.

Running Mac OS X 10.6.6 and FF Version 3.6.12. I'm using Mail Version 4.4 as my email client and when I try and open an embedded link from an email, the link doesn't open a new tab or window. FF recognizes the link, but doesn't respond with a new tab or window. If I copy and paste the link into the browser the links work fine, so I feel like it's a setting or bug that has been changed somewhere somehow. This problem only happens when I try to click directly from the email. I've tried searching the preferences in both Mail and FF, but can't seem to find anything that fixes the problem. This issue started happening two weeks ago when I did the latest Mac OS X security update. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Firefox won't open new tab, have to open new window for any link.

New tab won't open both when attempting to do it by clicking on "cross" in the tabbar or from File >> new tab.
Thanks

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

Firefox won't open new tabs

The little plus next to the tabs does nothing when I press it, going to file and new tab won't open a new tab, and neither does using control t. The only way I can get a new tab to open is to click a link or I have to open a whole new window. How do I fix this?

That can a problem with the Ask.com toolbar (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)

Firefox won't open new tab

Firefox won't open a new tab. It opens links on a new tab but if I try to open a new tab manually it does nothing. It was fine yesterday but not today.

Firefox 1.x won't open new tabs

I had to avoid using Firefox 1.0-1, and now Firefox 1.0-2, because of the fact that whenever I click "Open window in new tab", it doesn't go to the link, but just opens a new tab, not actually going anywhere. This is getting pretty annoying, and I did try using the PKGBUILD to download the source and make my own mozilla-firefox-1.0-1.pkg.tar.gz file, but this didn't change a thing.
The only way to remedy this is to downgrade to 0.9.3-2, which is the last working one. Also, as I just discovered, I can't use any of the arrow keys in 1.x. Useful.
Is this just my problem, or has anyone else experienced this?

Shouldn't behave like that- but it might be due to a dodgy extension you have installed (there are quite a few of them which hose javascript totally).
Did you try the "simple window" extension? AFAIK it works quite well.

Firefox won't open new tabs when I click, also he doesn't open new tabs when I use CTRL+T. Any solutions?

When I want to open a new tab, firefox doesn't do it. The problem is the same when I use CTRL+T. So I can't open any new tabs.
Nothing seems to work: restart the pc, closing firefox,...

Uninstall the '''''Ask Toolbar'''''. It can cause that problem.

Firefox won't let me open new tabs since windows updated yesterday

Windows update ran and installed new updates yesterday (9th Feb) the PC restarted and since then Firefox will not allow me to open a new tab.

My firefox won't open new tabs with the button or when I press CTRL+t, what is the problem?

I can't open any new tabs what so ever. I tried uninstalling and re-installing, and there was no change.

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.

How do i disable mouse button 4 and 5 to open new tabs or windows?

Okay so I got myself a new mouse, its a logitech G700s mouse but I don't think that matters anyway.
The problem is that the extra buttons on the mouse (small buttons on the side) i have are assigned as "mouse button 4" and "mouse button 5". Now to a standart mac system these buttons are assigned to open a new window or a new tab in safari but when I customly set these buttons to something else it does both of those things. For example i sat the mouse button 5 to mission control (show all windows) but now if I am using safari it also opens something in a new page if I am holding the cursor on a link.
I just want to know how I can remove that function. To make the mouse button 5 and 4 do nothing.
The system I use to customise the mouse buttons are a separate program. I need to know how to disable this new page function in the mac software.

Firefox 9 opens new window when opening new tab on Windows 7

When I load FF 9, then click on the + to open a new tab, it does so, but in the quickstart bar in Windows 7, it shows as another window of FF, although the new tab "seems" to be in the original instance of FF. Effectively, what I mean is, if I have 4 tabs open, it shows 4 Firefox windows in the taskbar.
Is there a fix for this?
Thanks and regards,
Clive

I'm assuming you are referring to Tab Previews in the Win7 Taskbar.
This can be turned of rather easily.
*Open a New Tab
**Type about:config in the address bar
When the page loads click "I'll be careful, I Promise"
In the "Filter" bar at the top of the page type
*browser.taskbar.previews.enable
**Double click it to set the Value to FALSE
If you simply type "Taskbar" in the filter, this will give you ever option that pertains to the windows 7 taskbar.

How can I get firefox to open new tabs? It won't open new tabs if I click the plus button or press Control + T. I installed some add on that didn't help either.

Tabs cannot be created
Control + T doesn't work
Installing an add-on to make tabs work didn't help

Disable or un-install the Ask Toolbar. The Ask Toolbar seems to be incompatible with Firefox 3.6.13. Ask needs to fix the problem.

"jqsnotify.exe- Application Error" popup when open new tab or windows

"jqsnotify.exe- Application Error" popup that states "...instruction at 0x00152058 referenced memory at 0x025f0014... memory could not be 'read'. Click on OK to terminate the program" whenever a new window or tab is opened. What does this mean? I get exactly the same popup message "...0x00152058...0x025f0014..." when using google chrome, except the "Application Error" is from Chrome.exe. Not sure if this is related but ever since these popups, firefox often hangs/freezes, when I open taskmng, it states that the program is "not responding", I have to force to end it, Again exactly the same problem when I use Chrome.

It doesn't open new tabs or windows when I click on then. it gives a problem loading page quite a bit, what's wrong?

When i open it it takes a long time to open, when I go to mail, or other places. it opens a Server not found
Firefox can't find the server at us.mg5.mail.yahoo.com
Check the address for typing errors such as
ww.example.com instead of
www.example.com
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
All this when I click on a button or do a search in Fire Fox.
It seems like I have to play with it to open anything.
I went back to the normal Fire Fox and it's still happening.
I sometimes have to restart my computer to get the buttons in the mail to show up or Face Book to work right.
