Links open in a new browser instead of a new tab. I do have "open new windows in a new tab instead" ticked

Hi
I am using Windows 7 on my desktop and today my Firefox browser opens links from emails in a new browser instead of a new tab.
I do have "open new windows in a new tab instead" , under tools; options, Tabs ticked.
I have tried unticking it and then re-ticking it but neither make any difference.
Hope you can help!

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> 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.

* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

  • When using more than one tab, once I have opened a pdf using firefox my laptop will not allow me to type or click in another tab unless I drag the pdf into it's own window?

    when using more than one tab, once I have opened a .pdf using firefox my laptop will not allow me to type or click in another tab unless I drag the .pdf into it's own window? not a major problem just irritating.

    I found the cause but no solution, it's actually a plugin that does that: divx plus weblpayer (it gets installed when you install DivX on your system), if you disable it and restart firefox it all works again. But I want that plugin... so DivX need to fix this, unless it is a Firefox bug in its own core... anyway these two together creates the problem.
    (I'm running Firefox 9.x on OSX Lion)
    I also wish firefox tab tear out tab worked more like chrome's tab tear out, much friendlier...

  • Multiple Tab Home refresh issue, I would like to not get 6 new tabs to open when I hit the home button, I would like it to refresh the six tabs I already have open back to the saved settings. Internet explorer does this.

    I like to have my home button restore multiple tabs for me. Sometimes I close some of the default tabs or they move from their default pages. Based on my experience with internet explorer I first select the left most tab and then hit the home button. It restores all saved tabs in the default. With Firefox is always opens brand new tabs and moves the existing ones to the right. Is there a setting to make it not open all new tabs.

    That's the way the Homepage button works in Firefox, it reloads one tabbed homepage and opens all the rest of your homepages in new Tabs, appending the Tabs that are already open.
    IIRC, the TabMix Plus extension has an option to reload your Homepages in existing tabs.

  • I just bought a new Mac.  How do I get everything I have on my iphone to the new computer?

    I just bought a Mac and I have an iphone that use to be connected to a PC.  Could I transfer everything I have on my iphone to the new Mac?   Will I loose anything? 

    You can transfer all iTunes purchased music, media and apps, but not any music/media obtained from other sources, which will get deleted from the phone when you sync:
    1. Disable automatic syncing on connection it iTunes Prefs > Devices > Disable....
    2. Connect phone.
    3. Right-click device tab on left border of iTunes window and select "Transfer Purchases."
    4. Now OK to sync phone.

  • I am unable to open new tabs. I have downloaded the extension, but still no tabs.

    I have tried everything the website has suggested, yet I am still unable to open new tabs.

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

  • When I login to a forum, it only holds true for the tab I currently have open

    Until recently, if I logged into a forum, I could open pages within that forum in multiple tabs and still be logged in on every tab. Now I can't, a new tab requires me to login again. I have always used "always start firefox in private browsing mode" and have made no changes in the settings.

    Your plugins list shows outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.

  • I have a search window on a new tab that I don't want - how do I change it to show me recently closed tabs and other options?

    When I installed the Conduit toolbar, I must have changed a setting because I now see the Conduit Apps search on a new tab rather than my former list of recently closed tabs and other options. How do I change what appears on the new tab when I ask for one to be opened?

  • Open PDF in same browser when the preference is set to open in new window.

    The corporate policy for all applications is to open the PDF document in new browser/reader but our application needs the reader to open in the same browser even the preference "Display PDF in Browser" is unchecked.... The setPreference from javascript (html) doesn't seemed to work... How do i make this work?
    Also, I need the links the browser to open in new browser once the PDF is loaded... do I need to reset the preference once it is loaded for the links to open in new browser?
    thanks,
    - Ray

    There is no way to override that from your application.   And if the Links in the PDF have an explicit "open in new window" setting, that is respected over the preference.

  • Hello, when I click on the tray icon..FF opens up. I then click again to open a second FF browser..no new Browser..???

    I start my PC click on the FF icon in me lower tray. Browser opens up. I do the same actions again to have a second FF browser beside the first FF and toggle between the two, but it does not open a second FF browser.
    Thank you
    == This happened ==

    == all the time

    <u>'''For future questions posted, see:'''</u> [[Using the Troubleshooting Information page]]
    Several add-ons have been reported to not allow new/additional windows to open in Firefox:
    Google Shortcuts
    HP Smart Printing Toolbar
    Skype
    ZoneAlarm Spyblocker Toolbar
    <u>'''Safe Mode'''</u>
    You may need to use '''[[Safe Mode]]''' (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes <u>'''before'''</u> starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
    See:
    '''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]'''
    '''[[Troubleshooting plugins]]'''
    '''[[Basic Troubleshooting]]'''
    If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling <u>'''one at a time'''</u> until the problem reappears. <u>'''You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change'''</u> via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.

  • New Window from "FILE- NEW-WINDOW" duplicates all the currently open tabs in the new window. I want new window with just the "Home" tab please?

    Running Firefox 3.6.13 on 64Bit Win7.
    I like to group tabs on a topic in a window, and when the tabs get to be too many, or a new topic, I do FILE->NEW-WINDOW and expect a new window with just one default (Home) tab. Instead I get a new window with ALL the tabs of the first window.
    I have checked all the Options I could find. Nothing helped. I CAN make a new Window with just one tab if I right-click a link and say "Open in NEW Window".

    A new window should only open with the home page(s).<br />
    If you see differently then you need to check your extensions.
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Adobe Reader 9 is not opening same files in Browser "Error in this Page"

    Adobe Reader 9 is not opening same files in Browser "Error in this Page"
    If I try to open this pdf file manually then its works.
    The Error comes if I try to open Big Files or some else Files in the Browser.
    This Error was not comming with Adobe 8.

    To uninstall Adobe Reader, make sure (using Task Manager's Processes tab) that Adobe Reader is not running.  Browser windows should also be closed.
    If you still cannot proceed, try in Safe Mode, or use the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility.
    P.S. Adobe AIR and Acrobat.com are not directly related to Adobe Reader, and can be uninstalled independently.

    See if this works for you.
    Open up Tools > Options -> General and toggle the first preference - '''Allow Firefox Developer Edition and Firefox to run at the same time''' - to get back to your previous Aurora Profile. It will tell you to restart Firefox.
    If there's a check-mark in the box for that pref it shows the Aurora Profile, if you remove that check-mark it shows the Developer Edition Profile.

    You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to the new one.
    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The exception being itunes purchases: File>Transfer Purchases
