Links opening in new window instead of new tab

I'm running Safari Windows 4.0.4. I would like to use multiple tabs within one browser window. However, while in one tab, if I click on a link, it opens a new Safari window. I want it to open another tab. I have the "open links from applications" set to open in new tab, however, I can't find a setting for opening a new tab within sarafi itself. I hate that it opens a new window. Anyone point me in the right direction so that it opens a new tab in the same window?

Is there a way, then, that the Safari team could add an option to the General tab that would default the click-on-link behavior to be the same as CTRL-click? I'm certain that adding such a feature would be insanely easy?
Great browser Apple ... really like it; but could you please fix this in a service-pack soon?
Thanks!

How to make link open in new TAB and not new window

Mac users can do the following...
http://www.switchingtomac.com/tutorials/how-to-force-safari-4-to-open-links-in-a -new-tab-instead-of-a-new-window/
how can this be done for WIndows users?
Using Safari 4.0

I'm not totally sure what you mean, because unless you are talking about not having to right-click a link first, that is prasisly what I do. the link you provided I just right clicked it & clicked on "open in new tab" ,& that's what it did.
- But now because that was so easy to answer, I can only assume you mean not actually having-to right-click a link to open it up in a new tab. ,hope this helped.

IE Opening blank white tabs when a link opens a new tab

Internet Explorer will open up and display the first page fine. It's anything that attempts to open a new tab that is the problem. I have two machines one running IE 9 the other IE 11, both Windows 7 Enterprise 32bit.
I thought maybe it was a user account problem, but both users can go to another machine and not have a problem. One of these PC's started having this problem immediately after reloading the PC after a hard drive crash. The image used has been installed on
well over 500 systems at this point with no other reports of this happening.
If I right click and choose open with a new window instead, nothing happens.
I've seen similar articles relating to KB2964358, KB2929437, KB2919355, or KB2964444, but that seems to be for IE just opening a blank white page initially. I did try these to no avail.
Another browser isn't an option. Many of the sites these users need to get to only work properly with IE, and more importantly every attempt is made by our organization to prevent end users from using other browsers.

Hi,
Did you mean when you click a link, the Internet Explorer didn't open the link instead of blank tab and just two computers have this issue?
Have you tried to reset the Internet Explorer settings:
1.Close any Internet Explorer or Windows Explorer windows that are currently open.
2. Open Internet Explorer by clicking the Start button. In the search box, type
Internet Explorer, and then, in the list of results, click
Internet Explorer.
3.Click the Tools button, and then click Internet Options.
4.Click the Advanced tab, and then click Reset.
5.Select the Delete personal settings check box if you would like to remove browsing history, search providers, Accelerators, home pages, and InPrivate Filtering data.
6.In the Reset Internet Explorer Settings dialog box, click
Reset.
7.When Internet Explorer finishes restoring the settings, click Close, and then click
OK.
8.Close Internet Explorer.
Your changes will take effect the next time you open Internet Explorer.
If it doesn't resolve, reset the default program for test:
1. Open Start Menu, search for Default Programs
and hit Enter.
2. This opens the Default Programs window. Click on Set Your Default Programs.
3. In the resulting window (the Set Default Programs window), click on
Internet Explorer and then, on Choose Defaults For This Program.
4. This will open up Set Program Associations window. Click against
Select All to select all types being displayed.
5. Once you are done with selection, click on Save.
6. You will be back on the Set Default Programs window.
7. Click on OK to close the window.

Visio Webpart-links opens in new tab

Hi,
I have created a Visio-document with some shapes. I have set hyperlinks to other .aspx-files in the
SitePages-library on these shapes.
Everytime I click on a linked shape it opens in a new tab. How can I solve this?
For your information: The ShapeSheet in Visio is correctly set up. "NewWindow" is set to "False".
I have Sharepoint 365.
Thanks in advance!
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
According to your description, my understanding is that the hyperlink of
Visio document opens with new tab.
For my test, I create a rectangle with hyperlink
in a Visio document and set the NewWindow property of the hyperlink to false using VB coding as below:
Public Sub NewWindow_Example()
Dim vsoHyperlink As Visio.Hyperlink
Set vsoHyperlink = ActivePage.DrawRectangle(0,0,5,5).AddHyperlink
vsoHyperlink.Address = "http://www.microsoft.com/"
vsoHyperlink.NewWindow = False
End Sub
But this hyperlink opens in new tab in my SharePoint 2013 Online as your scenario. It is by default that SharePoint 2013 Visio Service deals with
the hyperlink of Visio document. There is no approach that Microsoft Visio keep the same location when it follows a hyperlink to open a Web page.

Safari links open in new tab

hello.
I just encountered wierd behaviour, on my 2011 base 13 MBP. I'm pretty sure this wasnt happening before
Example-
I search for "downloads" in the google box on my toolbar. It loads the results. I click on the first result, which opens the link in a NEW tab.
I want the link to open in the same tab.
How can I make this happen?
thanks
Gaura

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. First, disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, monitor, and Ethernet, if applicable. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account that has the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, perhaps including wireless networking on certain Macs. If you usually connect to the Internet via WiFi, and it doesn’t work in safe mode, connect using an Ethernet cable. If you can’t do that, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and perform a safe login, as follows: Enter your credentials at the login screen, then hold down the shift key and click the “Log in” button. Keep holding the key until the menu bar appears. In this mode, your login items, among other things, won’t load.
In safe mode, test again. Same problem(s) now?
After testing, reboot (if you booted in safe mode) or log out/log in (if you performed a safe login) as usual.

Clicking a link opens a new tab

Hi!
I've been using Firefox on my laptop for several months now, and have not had this problem until about an hour ago:
Everything I click opens a new tab. And I mean everything. YouTube video? New tab. Trying to view an email? Said email opens in a new tab. Google search? each page of the search opens a new tab. I frequently use multiple tabs, and like to open new links in new tabs, like when I'm on Facebook and want to listen to Youtube. But now, anything and everything opens in a new tab, and I don't want that. I know some websites open new tabs, but these are sites that don't, as I said before. I've tried the about:config fixes I've seen on the web, but nothing works. I've reset Firefox, and it's still opening every. single. link in a new tab, which is annoying. I thought maybe my Ctrl key was stuck, but it's not. Is there a fix for Firefox that will stop this?
Thanks

Thanks for the responses guys. I reset Firefox and restarted my computer, and it seems to have fixed the issue.
Phillip, i'm not sure how to disconnect the keyboard, or if i even can on my laptop, however, it did not appear to be a stuck key, but as i was also experiencing the same issues with Chrome and Opera, it may have been the sensitive pad under the plastic key was somehow stuck.
Fred, thanks for that, i'll save it in case i ever experience this again. :)

External links open a new tab but do not try to load the page

When I click on a link outside of Firefox, FF opens a new tab and the URL is loaded into the address bar, but FF makes no attempt to actually load the page. I have to click on the address bar and then the green arrow. FF then loads the page with no problems.

9/20
Finally found toolbar settings and unchecked the box.
All is well. Thanks for taking time to answer.

How do I change it so that links open in new tabs as opposed to new windows?

Ever since I updated to Firefox 27, external links only open new windows instead of new tabs. I tried to change the values of open_newwindow, open_newwindow.restriction, and open_newwindow.override.external on about:config, but it's not affecting how external links are opening at all. No matter what integer I set them too, links always open in new windows.
I already ticked to open new windows in new tabs on Options.

You can override how external links are opened via the browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external pref.
The meaning of the values of browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external are the same as for browser.link.open_newwindow
*1: current tab; 2:new window; 3:new tab;
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow (3)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction (0)

Safari 8.0 stop link open in new tab.

In Safari, all google search results are opening in a new tab by clicking on them? How can I get safari to open the link from google in the same window..
Ive tried all possible settings in Safari -> preferences. Also I deleted my history/cookie's but that didn't work also. Anyone any idea? I didn't had this before..

Hey Linc Davis,
I just did that yesterday (in my case it was 'glims') and after deleting glims, Safari now is working perfect again.
Thanks a lot for your help!

When using Yahoo search the link opens a new tab rather than remaining in the current tab. This has never occurred before upgrading to FF 10.0.2. Played with tab setting in options window with no luck. Please help - very annoying.

Windows Vista. FF 10.0.2 (2 days ago).

Many of your points are totally legitimate.
This one, however, is not:
…To put it another way, the design of the site seems to be geared much more towards its regular users than those the site is supposedly trying to "help"…
The design and management of the forums for more than five years have driven literally dozens of the most valuable contributors and "regulars" away from the forums—permanently.
The only conclusion a prudent, reasonable person can draw from this state of affairs is that Adobe consciously and deliberately want to kill these forums by attrition—without a the PR hit they would otherwise take if they suddenly just shut them down.

Why Are Pages Opening in New Tabs Instead of Within the Pages?

Up until I upgraded to 10.1.10, tabs would almost always open in the same page as the link that contained it. If I wanted it to open in a new tab, or window, I can do that myself, using a menu. Now, it opens many more tabs than I need open, and only clutters up the screen, & adds more RAM usage to the already lumbering browser. Why is this happening, and is there any way to correct this?

No, cause it happens on many sites. I don't see what makes it do that for most, but then once in a while, it will open over the current page, like it almost always did before. I know it does this when I click a link from any Google search results page, which I don't recall it doing before. Up till now (5.1.10), there was always a preference setting where I could select links opening in new tabs, or not. Now, they open wherever they choose to, usually in new tabs, but sometimes not....
Here's my options:
"Open pages in tabs instead of windows:
Some links on webpages open in new Safari windows instead of replacing the current webpage. Choose Never to have such links open in new Safari windows instead of tabs. Choose Always to open new tabs instead of windows.
Choose Automatically to have Safari open pages in tabs unless they’re designed to fit in specially formatted separate windows; Safari opens those pages in windows instead."
So, none of these choices allow for pages to replace current webpages, which makes no sense.

Tab bar will not generate new tab if press+ - Links work- Right Button click 'open in new tab'

Now working with 3.6.18 (I had v4, then v5 briefly), the tab bar 'failed' in v5 so I went back to v3.6.18, but the problem followed.
No matter how many tabs are open I cannot get a new blank tab by clicking the "+" tab on tab bar.
I CANNOT get a new tab by mousing over another tab, right button menu "new tab" will not work.
I CAN select a bookmark "open in new tab" it works.
I CAN do the same on a link, "open in new tab" it opens in a new tab.

Didn't even know I had one, so I told it to display then went to the right hand end where a drop down menu offered "uninstall" and fired that , and again, and again, and again, the sticky little booger grinned back, but would not leave.
Reminded me of early Windows days when Win would die and tell you, "I just lost all your work" "OK?"
Going to look for a big hammer, it used to make me feel good to have the last FINAL word.

Links in Hotmail emails don't open in new tab

Someone apparently made changes in about:config settings. I opened my home page MSN and when I clicked on Hotmail link, the Hotmail sign in page opened in a new tab. Previously when I clicked on teh Hotmail link on MSN home page, the sign in page would open in a new window in the same tab. I made a change in about:config and fixed that, though I cannot remember exactly what I did. Sorry for that! Now when I read one of my Hotmail messages, and I click on a link in one of them, the link opens in a window in the same tab. Until last night (after I returned from being out shopping) the link in a Hotmail message would open in a new tab. That's how I'd like it. I'd also like the Hotmail sign in page to open in a new window in the same tab when I click on the Hotmail link on the MSN homepage.
Can anyone tell me what I need to change in about:config to do this?
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== last night after I got home from shopping

Hi Morbus,
Please forgive the very delayed response. It is due to illness. I have copied and pasted the information as you instructed, and maybe you might have some insight as to what is going on. Any input is much appreciated.

Automatically open a new tab in Safari with a link

I hate having to hold down a link in Safari in order to open that link in a new tab. Is there a way to automatically have links open in new tabs in Safari without having to do this every time?

Hold down the command key while selecting the menu item.

Address bar doesn't display correct link when I open a new tab from a previous page, it displays the linkof the original page

from a web page, right click on a link+open a new TAB. the link correctly opens in a new tab, but it is not displayed in the address bar.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? ''A troubleshooting mode.'' 
1.You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holidng the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut. 
2. Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.''
If not, see this:
