Links will not display in new window

I have just install the new version of Thunderbird 31.4.0 and now find when I click on a Link it does not display in a new window. To display the link I have to click on the Explorer tab near the start button. I would like the link to open immediately as it did previously. Thank you very much

This is not actually a Thunderbird question, but a browser issue, so you should really be asking this in the Firefox forum (assuming you use firefox) as it is the browser not taking the focus.
However, here is some help if you use Firefox.
If you use Firefox:
type : about:config into the Firefox address bar and hit enter. you will get a warning to be careful :)
In the Search bar, type : diverted look for this line: "browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground"
By default, the value of this entry should be false. This would give you focus on the browser after opening the link.
So check to see if you may have this set as 'True'.
To change it, double click on that line and it will toggle the value from 'True to 'False'.
Restart Firefox .

  • Links will not open in new window from iPad but work in IE on desktop.

    I am trying to set some links to open in a new tab but for some reason they just keep opening in the original tab. External links work fine but when I try to make another page from my website open in new tab, it will not work.
    I have looked at the code and it all looks fine.
    <a class="nonblock nontext shadow rounded-corners clearfix grpelem" id="u105617-9" href="metro_tweets.html" target="_blank"><!-- content --><p id="u105617"> </p><p id="u105617-2"> </p><p id="u105617-3"> </p><p id="u105617-7">Metropolitan<br/>Region TWEETS</p></a>
    I have also ticked the box that says "open the link in a new window or tab".
    Any ideas what the issue could be? It has worked before so I am sure it can be done.
    Would it have anything to do with the site hierarchy?
    Cheers

    Hi Aish,
    Thanks for the quick reply.
    I had a feeling you would ask me those questions so I'll give you a bit more background of what I am doing.
    I have created a locally accessed web app as part of project I am working on at Universty. It is a mockup of an iPad app that I will eventually build, although it is fully functional in it's web app state. For this reason it is not hosted on any web server but instead transferred to the iPad via DiskAid and accessed from Mercury Browser.
    Mercury browser is the only browser that I have found that can display html files from within it's own file storage and make it look like it is being served from a server. Safari browser will not let you do this and the only other browser that I found that could do it has been discontinued (Terra Browser).
    Adobe Muse has been fantastic for doing this kind of work and as I said before, the internal links opened in a new tab with Mercury Browser previously, so I am not really sure what is going on.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.
    Cheers
    Garry

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro will not load on  new Windows 7 Home Ultimate PC

    Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro will not load on  new Windows 7 Home Ultimate PC

    When I double click on the AA9 icon to initiate installation, it whirls away for a while then asks if I want to allow "this program to make changes to his computer?"  I click Yes and it begins to process again for a few minutes.  Then it displays the following Invalid Unicode file error message...and simply stops processing or installing.  In that last process, it also reaches out for whatever reason and activates the magnifier tool in Windows.
    I have thought that perhaps upgrading to a higher version of Windows might help, but who knows for sure?
    P.S. – This is a brand new HP Pavilion dv6 series computer that is more than adequate to this task.
    Thanks for your interest in helping!

  • Safari 5.1 will not display Java applet window

    I Just updated to safari 5.1 via software update.  It will not display java applet window on http://www.goldprice.org/live-gold-price.html ,i can view it using firefox. I have done a Safari reset, done a new install of 5.1, ran disc utility, unblocked popo up winows and restarted machine

    1). restart system with original start up disc, holding down "c" key.
    2). using time machine restore from non "lion" operating system. this will kill p.o.s. lion.
    3). once back in non 10.7 OS be careful not to install via software updates, sarafi 5.1
    4). sarafi 5.1 like lion *****.
    5). if you have sarafi 5.1, degrade by typing in this: support.apple.com/kb/dl1939
         a). a very large software update that degraded my sarafi 5.1 back to sarafi 5.05
    6). streetsmart.com and java worked fine for me after this fix.
    7), also you can download firefox, and though slower than sarafi 5.05 it will load java, and stock screens.
    GOOD LUCK. my first microsoft moment with apple in 8 years of chronic love for their products. time to

  • Pdf links will not open in new browser window

    I have created a pdf document in Acrobat 9 Pro that is password protected. You must enter the password to open it. In this document there are perhaps 15 links to other pdf documents. I set up each of the links to open in a new window. The links work as expected in Acrobat, each opening in a new window, however, when I posted the documents to the web, the links open in the same window as the original document. This would not be a big issue if the original document were not password protected, but each time the user clicks on a link, it takes him out of the original document. To get back to the original document requires re-entering the password. This is a major irritation with so many links.
    I know that you can set Acrobat to display the documents in its own window rather than in the browser, but my users don't know that. Control clicking on a pdf link does not open it in a new window as it would with an HTML link. Is there a simple fix to this problem that does not involve user intervention?

    Well, I came up with a solution, thanks to Ted Padova who offers a simple JavaScript solution on his blog at http://www.acrobatusers.com/blogs/tedpadova/opening-pdfs-new-browser-windows.
    The solution is clearly laid out even for beginners, if you know how to create a link or button.
    It seems to me that a prime objective of Adobe in developing Acrobat would be to have it behave the same way in free-standing mode and as a plug-in. In this case it does not, and obviously, it has not for the last forty-eleven years that Acrobat has been on the market. Maybe some day they will get around to a fix for this obvious problem. In the meantime, read Ted's blog and be happy we have guys like him who can solve these problems.

  • Pdf links will not open in ie8 windows 7

    I have installed, uninstalled Adobe Reader 10 and Internet Explorer.  I have tried all the solutions listed in some other posts.  PDF links will not open the files on some web sites, Fidelity.com in particular. I have reset IE8 Advanced Options and Advanced Options Reset, Created another Windows Administrative user, performed clean boot in Windows and run IE8 (no addons) from the accessory menu and unchecked the Display PDF in Browser box in preferences.  None of these options have resulted in correcting the problem.  Adobe Reader 10 works fine on the Fidelity web site in Firefox.

  • Under Windows 7, 64-bit, Firefox intermittently will not open a new window - all I get is a grey screen, with a tiny part of my homepage displayed in the top left corner of the screen.

    The problem began after a recent Firefox update. Occasionally, when I try to open a new Firefox window, all I get is a grey screen with a tiny section of my homepage visible in the top left corner of the screen. NOTE: Firefox stores all of these aborted attempts, as, whenever I close it and then re-open it, the first time I open a new window it automatically opens all of the windows that had originally failed to open.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == on or about June 26, 2010

    Got the exact same problem aswell, finally fed up with it now as i just started up firefox and 14 new windows opened because of this bug, luckily my computer can handle them but someone with a slower processor it would have been a nightmare, needs fixing ASAP.
    Reverting back to 3.6.3 until this issue is solved. (link for anyone wanting to do the same below)

  • Firefox will not open a new window for a website when it is supposed to and then will not close properly. I have un-installed and re-installed and problem persists, why? How is it solved?

    When I go on to some websites and click on certain things it wants to open a new window to display the information etc.
    I.E. On an agency job search site I click to do a detailed job search which should open in a new window, but this will not happen now on my Firefox.
    Firefox was working perfectly ok on Saturday 11th September but for some unknown reason has acted up since Sunday.
    There have been no Windows updates which could effect this and the laptop is otherwise working perfectly ok.
    Nothing has changed from Saturday Night to Sunday Night that I can see.
    I have even tried to do a system restore to solve the problem but with no success.

    I also have this problem. I cannot open links from a discussion board I frequent nor can I open links from my email. Also after opening my email, I cannot go to any other sites except my home page. I can then go no where else.
    When I close Firefox and try to reopen it, it does nothing! I have to bring up the Task Manager and end the Firefox process before I can get back in.
    To the best of my knowledge, this problem started with the new update to Ver. 3.6.9. I am running Windows XP Media Center 2005

  • Quick link does not open in new window

    Hi all
    I created an URL iView and assigned a quick link to it. The "launch in new New Window" property is set to
    "display in separate window".
    If i call the quick link url the iView is not shown in a separate window, but in the content area. Why?
    If I click in the portal on that iView, it opens in a new window.
    What am I missing here or is it a portal bug?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi Paul,
    I face the same problem, any findings so far?
    Thanks!

  • Clicking a link will not open a new tab

    On a Win7 computer, Firefox 34.0.5 works fine for the administrator account. For the user account however, a new tab will not open when clicking on a link in a web page. The settings under options / tabs are all checked properly. I have uninstalled Firefox, removed all the files from the profile directory for the user, then reinstalled Firefox - got the same result. I even uninstalled Flash player per https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1032376 - still, a new tab will not open when clicking on a link in a web page. Have tried safe mode and restoring defaults without any luck. I suspect the answer is simple (Occam's razor) - just can't seem to find it though.

    Hi postseason, you [[#answer-671346|said]]''
    <blockquote>
    The link opens in the same window. It's not unique to any site, it's consistent.
    </blockquote>
    As John99 stated, that is the normal way that Firefox handles links. The setting in options refers to when links are coded to open in a new window, do you want a new window or do you prefer a new tab.
    In addition to the methods John99 listed, Ctrl+click opens a link in a new tab (nearly always; links intercepted by scripts can evade it).
    If you want ALL links to AUTOMATICALLY open in a new tab, you would need an add-on for that. I don't use it myself, but Tab Mix Plus has a very rich set of options for where to open links, bookmarks, etc. You can read more about it here:
    https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/
    As a footnote, Google has a search preference ([https://www.google.com/preferences here]) that codes results to open in a new window, so that's why I asked if you only noticed the difference on particular sites.

  • PDF in Frame - Open Web Link does not open in new window

    I actually have 2 problems.
    1. Acrobat 7.0.9. Added a link to open a web page. When the pdf is viewed from within a frame on a web page, the web page link in the pdf does not open in a new window but replaces the pdf in the frame.
    2. If I download the pdf to my workstation and open it and click on the link, it does open in a new window BUT opens up 2 browser windows where the 2nd one opened is blank (yes, I am single clicking on the link)
    Issue 1 occurs in both IE 6, IE 7 and Firefox ?.??

  • Firefox will not open a new window How do I fix it?

    When on a web page, If I right click and choose "Open In A New Window", it will open a new window but the window is always blank. I can copy the address and paste in in the new window and it will then take me to the web site but will not automatically open and take me to the site. Is there a fix for this?

    Try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    # You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 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. <br />
    ''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. <br />

  • Will not print a new window opened from an https: site eg phone bill. will print in IE

    When I try to print monthly statements, they open in a new window, click print and it starts the printer and then comment"an unexpected error occured" I can do this in IE8 with no problems. My printer is a Canon mf4380dn. I never had this problem with my previous Canon AIO printer
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I try to print my monthly statements

    kate2006,
    Verify that the ink cartridges are intact and securely inserted into the printhead, then make the same print.
    1. Lift the printer access door, then remove the ink cartridges from the printhead.
    2. Verify that the label on the ink cartridges is intact, and the cartridges are not damaged.
    3. Insert the ink cartridges into the printhead, then press down firmly until you hear them click into position.
    4. Close the printer access door, then make the same print.
    If that doesn't work try:
    Clean the printhead, then print a demo sheet.
    1. Verify that inkjet paper is loaded in the paper trays.
    2. Press Menu.
    3. Select Clean Printhead, then press OK.
    4. Select Deep Clean, then press OK. The On/Off light flashes green during the cleaning procedure.
    5. When the On/Off light glows a steady green, select Print Demo Sheet, then press Start.
    I hope that helps

  • Firefox will not open a new window

    Have tried using Ctrl+N but no new window opens.
    Any website requesting a new window to open function fails.

    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.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
