Making new folders always open is new windows?

I have a folder of photos that I want to copy to an external drive. I open the folder on my desktop, connect an external drive, open the folder on the drive, though it now opens in the same window as the folder that I opened previously, which is quite annoying. How can I set it up so that it does not do this?
Thanks.

When you select the second location CTRL- or RIGHT-click and select Open from the menu.

When clicking CTRL+Link my new tab opens in the background window, instead of the foreground window I'm using. Is there a way to make this work the way it used to, where the new tab always opens in whatever window I was currently using?

I use a web based software for work. I go to a web page listing all employees as links (Window A). When I click an employee link a new window opens (Window B). Window B contains links, i.e. Add Client, Change Address, Change Phone Number, Change Name, Upload Photo, etc... When I hold CTRL and left click the links in Window B, the new tab opens in Window A. I don't understand why this has changed, as I've been using this method to open new tabs in my current window in both of the previous versions of Firefox.

That didn't work, but thank you very much for the offer of help. I had already tried that option.
To give you an example of what I'm speaking, I found this page that recreates the scenario.
1. Goto [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/centered_popup.htm http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/centered_popup.htm]
2. Click the GO in the center of the box on their page (This creates a pop-up window with links to other programming pages)
3. CTRL+left click any of those links. The page opens in the background/original window, not the pop up window where you are currently working. And, with your solution takes me back to that window and the new tab.

Folders keep opening in new windows! help!

I always like to have a clean desktop. So, I unchecked the Finder preference "Always open folders in new windows". That way, when I open a folder, it uses the same window that is already open... nice and clean.
I believe this functionality is called "browser view".
Recently I decided to do away with my sidebars and toolbars (by clicking the little pill-shaped button on the upper right of any Finder window). Unfortunately, with the sidebar and toolbar gone, opening a folder opens up a separate window (even though the Finder preference for this is still unchecked).
I believe this functionality is called "spatial view".
Is there a way I can set a preference somewhere so that folders always open in the same window even though I have the sidebar and toolbar hidden?
Thanks.

OPTION+double-click will always open a subfolder in the same window, regardless if you have toolbar showing or not. I prefer the choice, so also have open folders in new window option selected. I'm not as minimalistic as you are.

Hyperlink/button always opens in new tab/window

Hello everyone,
is there any way to change this ? I have a swf based menu with links to current site, but it always opens a new tab.
Also, can i choose where to apply "interactive page curl" or it must be applied to all pages ?
Thanks

Defining a hyperlink (in Indesign) for an exported swf file to open an URL in the same browser window is not possible. And I think you are out of luck for page curl on certain pages, I think it will apply to all pages. These two scenarios would require working in Flash.

From the Safari menu bar, select

Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

Firefox 6 ,Hyperlink not opening when I select Open In New Tab, it always Open In New Windows.

I have just upgrade to Firefox 6 and I having problems opening Hyperlink when I select Open In New Tab, it always Open In New Windows. It will work when I open another copy of Firefox browser but not on my main browser. Any suggestions to fix this ?

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.

Finder opening new Windows despite always open in new Tabs setting.

I have already submitted this to Apple. But wish to open a discussion here, to probe and see, if this issue frustrates other users. It would be nice to get some empirical weight behind my already submitted request.
The Issue: I have already set in Finder »always open in new tabs«. Despite this, when for example one clicks on »view Download in Finder« (Safari), or via a Spotlight-search clicks CMD+R to view a search-result in Finder, a new Finder-Window gets launched. This is really frustrating and quickly clutters up the desktop. Could Apple please fix this, so that »always open in a new tab« really does just this? (Or at the very least, opens a new tab in the last opened Finder-window).
The same irritation ist true for Terminal. I just wished users would be have the option to open everything in the same (e.g. the last opened) window.

Firefox lately always opens a new window

Whenever I click a link in firefox, whether I option-click it or right-click it and choose "Open in new Tab." Firefox lately always opens a new window, not a tab. For the life of me, I cannot get it to open a page in a new tab.
There was a time when I had one window open, and every time I would choose to create a new tab, it would create it in that window instead of the window I was currently in, but I have since closed that window, and now I cannot get a link to open in a new tab no matter what I do.
I have tried both selecting and deselecting "Open new windows in a new tab instead" In Firefox preferences, restarting Firefox in "Safe" mode, etc. to no avail.
How do I fix this?

There are other settings in about:config that might be causing that effect.
<pre>browser.link.open_newwindow
3 = divert new window to a new tab (default) (checked*)
2 = allow link to open a new window (unchecked*)
1 = force new window into same tab
* First checkbox in Options > Tabs (on Mac, Preferences > Tabs)
browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction
0 = open_newwindow preference honored for all new windows
2 = open_newwindow preference honored for all new windows except script windows with features (default)
1 = open_newwindow preference ignored completely (same effect as open_newwindow=2)
browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external
-1 = open_newwindow applies to external links (default)
3 = open external links in a new tab
2 = open external links in a new window
1 = open external links in active tab </pre>

First link always opens a new window

I'm using Tomcat 3.2.3 and I have been unable to determine why the first link always opens a new window. From that point on, each hyperlink displays the page in the same window, as they should.
For example, my index.jsp page has a hyper link to the logon.jsp page. The logon.jsp page always comes up in a new window - even though the achor <a> tag is not setting any 'target'. It also doesn't matter if the first page is index.htm
I don't know if this is relevant, but Tomcat is running inside of Apache using the mod_jserv module. (at least I think it is.. I'm not sure how to tell... I followed the instructions at the Tomcat site and everything seems to load fine)
Thanks for any help....
E-

try by explicitly setting the target of the form to the same window.
I think it should work.

Folders keeping opening in new windows

Hello there,
It seems that all the folders keep opening in new windows, despite that fact that the relevant option is unchecked in Finder preferences.
Has anyone a solution for that?
Many thanks!

Thanks Baitwo, nevertheless how I am supposed to tackle the issue without creating another user? Would I be able to delete it after changing the setting? Thanks!

Web-app icons always open a new page?

Is there any way to prevent homescreen webapp shortcut icons from always opening a new page in the browser? It sort of defeats the purpose of keeping cool little webapp shortcuts on the home screen if I'm constantly closing extra browser pages all the time. Might as well just use bookmarks within safari. I use certain apps several times a day, and end up with a bunch of instances of the same app all "open" in safari each time I return (counterintuitive). Is there a setting that I'm missing, or am I better off using bookmarks?

At this point it appears that you can't control it. I would assume that the link the icons calls up has an added target="_blank" or a javascript window.open command. As these are added at the time the icon/link is created, you can't go back and edit them out.

I can not right click "open in new tab" nor open in new window, in my bookmark file.the bookmarks are all there, but I have to open a tab first then left click to open an item. Why can't I right click? The options are there, but not highlighted/clickable.

Middle clicking the mouse button or holding '''Ctrl''' on the keyboard and left clicking, will also open the links in a new tab.

Why is every time I open something in safari it will always opening a new tab?

Ordinarily a link will open in the same tab, however, the website can specify that a new tab is to be created.
Of course, you can specify that you want a new tab if you press and hold on the link and select open a new tab.
