Making Open in New Tab the default?

We're using Safari 3.0.4, and while I'm happy with the Command-click or right-click-and-select options to make a link open in a new tab, my son wants to know if there's a way to make "open in new tab" the default action when simply clicking on ANY link.
It seems that option exists right now for links within other apps, but not for links within Safari itself. Has anyone figured out a way to do this?
Thanks,
John Bertram

Problem is solved.

When I open a new Tab the page defaults to an unwanted page.

When I open a new Tab the page defaults to: "http://www.somoto.com/139/%7B666DAB7E-0C0D-4161-9E9E-F4170E4A3EB9%7D?s_src=newtab". My homepage is set to something entirely different. Is it possible to change this default to something of my own choosing?

Did you remove your personal data when uninstalling and have created a new default profile folder?
It is possible that you previously had an extension that set focus to the location bar.

When I open a new tab, the new tab used to show shots of 6 or so of the last sites I'd viewed, so I could easily click on one and go to it. Now it shows a blank tab and I have to type the URL of the page I want. How can I change it back?

I have not changed any of my preferences and they look like they are as I would have left them.
I tried resetting Firefox and deleting the preference file, no change.
By the way, I hate that the tabs are on top and not where they belong above the pages they are for. There should still be a way in Firefox to put them back without having to use an add-in.

How do I get new pages in new tabs to automatically go the same setting as my home page? Google is my home page, and I want the opening in new tabs to default to Google also.

Whenever I open a new tab, I want the new page to open to the same setting as my Home Page (in my case, Google). Instead it takes me to Bing. Even my Home Page reverts to Bing after I've set it to Google.

The default New Tab in Firefox is a blank page and there is no built-in option to change that.

When I open a new tab, the brouser goes to a blank page. How can I get it to open to my default home page?

If I have opened firefox, and I am on my igoogle home page, and if I click the add page button to open a new window, the new pages opens to a blank internet page where I have to type in the new web address I want to go to. This started happening after I added a record button to record internet video and audio. I ended up removing the record program and buttons, but now I cannot figure out how to get a new page to open at my home page address of igoogle.

Hi,
You may have to change the setting in the application itself or disable the app in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons''', click '''Extensions''' on the left. If that doesn't work, try to uninstall the application. Please also see [http://funmoods.com/terms this] (the third bulleted point).

I use high contrast mode (am visually impaired); just upgraded to 8.0. When I open a new tab, the background does not high contrast, showing white until the page loads. Is there a setting that can be adjusted to fix this, or is this permanent?

I use Windows Vista, and I use the default Alt+Shift+PrtScn high contrast mode for white text on a black background. I only notice when I click a link that opens a new tab or open a tab via the mouse wheel that becomes the main tab. I can't switch tabs fast enough if I click a link that doesn't open as the main tab to tell if the problem persists. The duration of the non-high contrast background is only as long as the page takes to load. There does not seem to be much lag, but the lack of high contrast is painful enough that I have to close my eyes, so I'm not sure. On a related note, the new status information does not high contrast either, making it impossible for me to read.

In recent weeks, when I open a new tab, the bars to input a URL or search has disappeared. How can I restore this option so I don't have to use other browsers?

I used to be able to type in a URL or search when opening a new tab. Now I only get the "panes" that show most recently opened tabs. I have been having to go to alternative browsers to go to websites not in my top 9 or to open new windows, which is a pain.

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. 
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

When I open a new tab, the yahoo search page loads rather than the blank page. How do I revert to the blank page setting?

This only started yesterday, but it really bugs me. I can't figure out how to get rid of it!

There's a hidden setting for new tabs. Here's how to access it:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter your preferred page:
* ''Page thumbnails (default)'' => about:newtab
* ''Blank tab'' => about:blank
* ''Built-in Firefox home page'' => about:home
* ''Any other page'' => full URL to the page
Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?
