Middle click on link to open in new background tab suddenly stopped working--could anyone help me?

Works when clicking on bookmark; not so much when clicking a link one a page. I've got the latest version of Firefox yadda yadda yadda. It's a pain browsing without this. For the love of God help. Thanks.

I had this issue too, here's the [https://plus.google.com/106764458835637721222/posts/haLKEu3Qm39 solution]!
I hope it works for you too, good luck! :)

How do I get middle-click back button to open in a background tab?

When I middle-click on the back button a new tab loads with the contents of the previous page. How can I get this tab to load in the background?

Thanks, but I know about those, and none of them actually effect behaviour of tabs with the back button.

Hi, I have a problem which occur only in Firefox (in IE not happening): When I middle click the mouse it opens a new tab, but it also push my website to the top of the page & I need to drag all the way back to where I was. Please I need a solution! Thanks

URL of your website? And an example of a hyperlink which does that?

New mail sound suddenly stopped working

I assigned a 'new mail sound' (wav file) and for no apparent reason suddenly stopped working. Anyone else experienced this ?

This sometimes happens to me too, as well as my alerts with iChat. I have to restart the computer and that fixes it for me. Hope that is the case with you as well.

Middle-click on Link not opening new tab

Yesterday Middle-click on Link stopped working to open a link in a new tab (or close a tab if I Middle-click on the tab).
V. 27.0 (Auto updates turned on)
Window 7, 64 Bit, Home Edition
Was running no add-ons outside extensions for Java, SilverLight, and Adobe and Wacom, and Norton (Disabled as of about 2 months ago)
I HAVE tried starting in FireFox Safe mode with all add ons disabled, problem still persisted.
I uninstalled Firefox, cleared my preferences, and reinstalled, same issue.
I have check the configuration files (I found the command for it in other help topics) and the command line for it is Enabled (I disabled and enabled it again just to check).
Under options, I have it also set to open new windows, as a tab
The ONLY thing that I had done that could have changed anything, was I ran Mal-ware Bytes, and Spybot S&D, before the problem started. However I have run both programs in the past and they have never caused this issue to start after a scan.

My middle click stops working if I show the menu bar. Middle click works as expected if the menu bar is off and just the Firefox button is at the top. Windows 8.1 and Firefox 28.
Hope this helps

Command + Click on link to open in new tab suddenly not working

I am an enthusiastic user of command + click to open a link in a new tab, but it suddenly stopped working earlier today and I cannot figure out how to re-enable this feature. I'm on the beta release cycle at version 7.0, with several addons installed, including (perhaps relevantly) Tab Mix Plus.

This is a link to a modified (by the Greasemonkey devs) version of Tab Mix Plus. Works around the bug until the TMP guys do so officially.

How can I click a link to open a new tab without automatically switching to the new tab?

I use Ixquick as my search engine. When the search result comes up, every time I click a link, Firefox creates a new tab and changes the focus from the search results page to the page for the link I clicked.
I want to have a new tab created , but I want to stay on the search results page to be able to continue clicking other tabs of interest.
I'm new to Foxfire and this functionality was very useful to me when I used Internet Explorer.
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Kathy
You can start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Both in safari and chrome, whenever i click any link it opens a new tab with advertise. Original tab turn to top sites.

This is a **** of problem i am facing. I am so annoyed that i am considering to get rid of Mac. My previous mac did not have such problem. Well, lets say i have opened airline site, i am trying to search ticket, i have put all destination and dated, once i click search, it opens a new tab and current one become blank with top sites. Its really annoying. Can someone advise what to do?

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
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.

Setting links to open in new window/tab

Links to excel file on safari page suddenly stopped working, but work in firefox. Happened yesterday. Help!

I have a webpage with links mapped from an icon to two excel files. They aren't working. I checked the html. it is identical to two links to .png files and the location is correct, but nothing happens when you click the link. I have reset, emptied cache and thrown out the plists,
The html reads:
<img usemap="#Curio_Map" src="Steps%20in%20Detail(3D691625).png" />
<map name="Curio_Map">
<area href="Assets/7B8E04AB/Strategic%20Planning%20Detail%20Dairy.xlsx" shape="polygon" coords="455,66 844,66 844,296 455,296" >
<area href="Assets/18C769C4/Initial%20questions%20for%20Strategic%20Planning.xls" shape="polygon" coords="14,71 431,71 431,293 14,293" >
</map>
The Assets folder is in the same folder as the index.html page with frames and the page within the frame.
The html for the .png files that do work is:
<img usemap="#Curio_Map" src="Supporting%20Doc(698C969A).png" />
<map name="Curio_Map">
<area href="Assets/9D8D3352/P%20of%20PDSA%20Altresco.pdf" shape="polygon" coords="22,126 102,126 102,192 22,192" >
<area href="Assets/F5E05A53/Access%20Environment%20Altresco.png" shape="polygon" coords="21,45 103,45 103,88 21,88" >
</map>
Look the same to me! Why does one work and the other not, and why did it happen all of a sudden? Any thoughts?
Dan

It sounds like the page has somehow got stuck in the cache of
a server
somewhere. Delete the file from the server, and then call the
page.
Hopefullt you should then get a 404 error. Then FTP the page
back. This
should hopefully clear out the cache.

Every time I click a link it opens a new window when it is only suppost to open in the same window.

This just started recently and all the other suggestions did not work. So i am trying to get a more up to date solution to this problem please help.

Does this affect all sites? If it only affects some sites, could you give examples?
Note: for Google, you can turn this on and off in the search settings. Click the "gear" (Options) icon, then Search settings, then uncheck the box for "Open each selected result in a new browser window".

Way to click on link to open in new page?

Anyone figure out a way to open a link in a new page? I have a couple of pages I use as "home" pages and I'd like to be able to tap and open a link in a new page to keep the existing page at its site.

I haven't found a way yet. It depends on how the original page was coded.
If it's a page you control, try adding the following to the link anchor tag:
target="_blank". If not, sorry. Maybe it's something they'll add, but honestly, I doubt it (my personal opinion). It would add clutter to a portion of the interface that's working quite smoothly right now. There's no precedent for a 2-fingered tap like holding down a key, and holding down on the URL for a pause already does something.
My two cents. Sorry! I agree it would be very useful.

When I click a link to open a new window, the new window appears in the bottom right corner and I have to drag it up every time to enlarge.

This problem only began today and only with Webkinz.com
When my daughter went to login, the new window where she logs in was in the bottom right corner. I pulled it up to the display and it stayed there. When she tried to log in again later on in the day, the login window appeared in the bottom right corner of the screen again.

Open Firefox -> Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now you can Enable the Add-ons and it should be ok. Check and tell if its working.

When I click a link to open a new tab/window it opens and the URL appears but the page doesn't load?

To clarify - the new tab or window appears, and the web address is showing correctly in the address bar, but for some reason the new page won't load unless I manually highlight it and hit return. Please help!

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
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.

How come everytime I click a link it opens a new window?

It also highlights the whole word when I only want to click a part of it and it doesn't let me scroll, does it have anything to do with my kitty walking on the keyboard?

try pressing shift 5 or 6 times to deactivate sticky keys. press cancel when the sticky keys dialog box comes up.
