Mail opens two Safari windows when I click on a link in email

When I click on a link in Mail, it opens in Safari -- that's the way I have it setup. Yet, the problem is that it opens two windows in Safari, one empty and one with the content of the link.
This is the second problem I have with Mail. The second one was posted to this discussion but it was not resolved. I repeat here the text of the problem:
I've been having a problem with mail for a while, when sending attached JPEGs from my Mac using Mail or Entourage. The photos are split -- say a 140 kb file will show up in my two other computers (both Windows PCs) as two files, one 65 kb and the other 75 kb, for example.
Yet, when I click on Mail's (in my Mac) sent folder and click on the particular sent email, it shows a full blown 140 kb attachment, not split.
Several weeks ago, my Mac Address book got cranky and for some reason it would repeat the name of an addressee. I finally deleted the name of that addressee and created a new entry and it seemed to work, so it did not split JPEGs -- or at least I thought that was the case.
Now it is back splitting the JPEGs but this time, the addressee's name is well formatted -- no repeats within the entries in the card in Address Book.
When I mail something from my Windows PCs and open it in my Mac, the file is complete.
What could be causing this split?

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

How do I get firefox to open a new window when i click on a link in a webpage ?

When I click on a link in a webpage in Firefox, generally it opens the new page in the window i am in (though some times it does not). How do I get it to open a new window (or tab) each time I click a link.
For example, on www.bbc.co.uk if I click on a link, the new page opens in the same window, if I then click another link in the new window, again, it opens in the same window. To get back to the original window, I have to use the back button twice. Surely there is a setting so that all 3 windows can be open on separate tabs or separate windows.
I have been to the tabs window in options, but doesn't seem to make a difference.

Open link/bookmark in new tab in same window:
*Middle-click (press the mouse scroll wheel) the link
*Ctrl+left click the link
*right-click the link, choose "Open Link in New Tab"
Open link/bookmark in new window:
* Shift+Enter on the link
* Shift+left click on the link

Why does Firefox now open a new window "when I click on a link" while using? It's a new annoyance that only appeared when I downleaded or added an add-on or extension. Please help me! Thank you VERY much!

A new window opens when I click on a link or go to a new site.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

Can I set Safari to open a new window when I click on it in the dock?

is there a way to set my safari to open a new window when i click on it in the dock i surf multiple websites at once and i dont like how i have to right clik and scroll up to pick open a new window. can i set it to just open a new window instead of opening the page that already opened

yeah, instead of using multiple windows, you can use multiple tabs inside one window. That way, you can browse multiple websites at once without having to flick back and forth between multiple windows.
To open tabs of the websites you want to browse, just right-hand click on whatever website you want to visit (For example a site from your bookmarks or a site from a Google search result) and select 'open link in tab'.

Can I open two Safari windows at the same time?

Can I open two Safari windows at the same time and split the windows in two on my screen? Right now, I have to open Safari and Firefox to get the split screen. I know I can press command to get multiple tabs, but that's not what I want. I want to use Safari on two open windows.

HI,
Open a browser window in Safari. Then Command + N
Press command and ~ or ` to toggle between the windows.

Stop "Open in Dashboard" widget from opening new Safari window when viewed

Hi,
For the first time, tried Safari's "open in dashboard" to make a widget showing an area of a webpage that updates information frequently.
It worked, but now whenever the Dashboard is viewed, something in the code opens up a new Safari window, even starting up Safari first if need be. (Because of the url, I suspect some javascript is trying to set a third-party tracking cookie.) Safari preferences don't appear to matter.
Any way to prevent this? 2010 iMac/10.6.5/Safari 5.0.3.
Thanks.

Thanks for replying, but that isn't the answer I am looking for. Also, there is no + sign, UNLESS you do tap the overlapping boxes.
Let me try to ask my question a little more clearly:
When I tap the two overlapping boxes on the lower left (the option to Open New Windows), the new Window that appears will show your Bookmarked FAVORITES. But with my new iPhone 6, and the new iOS 8.0.2, when I tap the two boxes to open a New Window, my Bookmark Favorites show (as they always have and should), but below them, there is a dividing line underneath them, and it says Recently Viewed Websites, and has these websites available to tap.
So my question is, HOW DO I TURN THESE OPTION OFF?
*UPDATE (10.13.14): Since I have asked this question, I no longer see these Recently Viewed Websites under my Bookmarked Favorites in my new Window tabs. So I hope that Apple fixed it, or somehow it was a mistake, or somehow I changed an Option on my iPhone 6 that stopped this for reoccurring.
Thank you for your help bobseufert! I appreciate your concern, kindness, and the time to try to help. I am grateful.
Have a blessed day.

Is there a way to control where a web page opens on my desktop when I click on a link in my email (Mail)?

So while I'm reading my emails, I get a lot of Twitter notifications. I like to just click on the Twitter link & keep on reading mail until I get to the end. But sometimes the Twitter web page opens right over the top of my Mail page. It's not a big deal, but I get a lot of these, so over the course of time it's a big waste of time to keep moving the web pages over to keep reading my emails.
Is there a way for me to determine where on my desktop the new web pages open when I click on links?

Not sure if that can be done but you can press the Expose key which will show all open windows.

Open a new window when you click on a button

Hi all,
I'm a newbie on BPS and web interface on BPS. I have a problem on how to open a new window.
I explain:
We have a page with a button which call a function. We want to change this button in the way when you ckick it, a new window appears and present a page with two buttons which call each a function(this page is already created thanks to bps_wb).
The problem is : how to modify the button in the way it opens a new window with in parameter the page.
Thanks by advance.
Best regards,
Nicolas

Hi Nicolas,
I don't know about a pop-up, but if you are trying to open a page (page 2) in a new window (internet explorer window), then do the following:
Instead of using a navigate pushbutton, use a hyperlink component.
In the URL selection option insert the URL (web address) of page 2. You can find the URL by going to SE80, in the repository browser select "BSP Application" and "THE TECHNICAL NAME OF YOUR BPS". Open your BSP and go to the folder "pages with flow logic" and find your "page 2". Double click on your page and then select the "properties" tab and navigate to the bottom where you will see the pages URL.
Insert this URL address into your hyperlink component back in the Web Interface Builder.
Leave the Target selection as parent. Make sure your internet explorer enhanced options are set to "not reuse the same window" under the browser options.
Good luck.

Email opening in new window when I click on it in notifications

Hi all, not a big deal but it would be nice to fix this if possible.
I noticed since doing the update yesterday to the operating system to 10.9.2, when I get an email through notifications (alert in the upper right corner of my screen), when I click on the notification it now opens the email in a new window. Before it just took me to my email program, mac mail and I could view the email there. It's not a huge deal but it would be nice if there was some setting or way to get it back to the old way. Anyone know of a fix or setting change for this?
Thanks so much,
Annette

Thanks for the response.
I have done exactly in the same manner. Created a new SSWA JSP URL in the form function and given the HTML URL as
OA.jsp?page=/oracle/apps/ar/irec/help/webui/ILSHelpPG
In the processRequest of this page's controller, i am doing pageContext.redirectURL();

Firefox always opens a new window when i click the icon on my task bar...this is new and I would like it to say in the same window How?

I have a firefox icon on my task bar. Before this latest install, I would click the icon and Firefox would come up directly. Now it opens another firefox window. I don't want this. How can I change it back?

Click on the spotlight icon in the top right of your screen (looks like a magnifying glass), type
Terminal
and press 'return'.
In the window that opens up, paste or type this exactly into the window
killall Finder; killall Dock
(that's case sensitive) and press 'return'.
You'll notice the Dock disappear for a second or two then return, as do any open Finder windows.
Test using Finder as normal. Same problem?

How do I stop firefox from opening a seperate window whenever I click on a link to log into a different website with my social network account?

Whenever I try to log into a website (i.e. King of the Web.com,etc.) with my facebook account, a new window will appear behind my current window and when I click on it, it never shows up even when I minimize the current website, how do I get the new window to show so I can log in and vote for Tre Melvin? (P.S. vote for Tre!)

I think Facebook uses its facebook.net domain for this function. When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
1. Clear Firefox's Cache
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Offline Storage : "Clear Now"
2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here
Right-click this page and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the search box at the top of that dialog, change the domain to facebook.net and remove the site's cookies.
Then try using the login with FB feature again. Does it work?

Why does firefox intermittantly open a new window when I click on an existing tab? This only happens when I have three or more tabs open.

Several times now Firefox 4.0.1, when clicking on a tab (three or more tabs open) I immediately moves that tab to it's own window and closes the tab in the existing window.

That is probably the "tear-off tabs" feature. A slight movement (usually downward) when clicking on an existing tab will cause that tab to "tear-off" and open in a new window. You can drag the tab back to the previous window. You can also install this add-on to stop the behavior: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bug489729-disable-detach-and-t/

I want all pages to open in a new window when I click on a link, and do not want tabs.

I just downloaded Firefox on my Mac laptop. I don't like using tabs, but prefer new web pages to open in a new window. What command do I use to achieve that?

Look at:

Wy does firefox open a new window when i click on "open link on a new tab"?????

the only time i shutdown a window is when i shutdown firefox.
having mutiple windows invites to mistakes. please fix.

That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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.
