Nautilus doesn't open a new window when clicked

For a while now, I have been experiencing an annoying issue.
Whenever I open Nautilus either by clicking the icon in the drawer (example: http://i.imgur.com/uZc3n7S.png) or by hitting "Super" (the Windows key) and typing nautilus+enter, Nautilus doesn't create a new window anymore. Instead, it just shows "Files" in the top bar, as seen here: http://i.imgur.com/Ho2nJhv.png
I can open a Nautilus window by clicking on the "Files" item in the top bar and clicking "New Window", as seen here: http://i.imgur.com/7IrWqvr.png
Also, whenever my desktop is focused, the "Files" item is visible in the top bar. In the drawer, the Nautilus icon is always highlighted as well. This leads me to believe that GNOME thinks Nautilus is already open, while it is not.
Note that I have enabled my desktop to be managed by Nautilus, so I can have icons on my desktop. I'm not sure, but if I recall correctly, this problem started ever since the one time I ran gnome-settings-daemon manually, to test if a certain bug still exists.
Has anyone experienced a similar issue? How could I track down why this is happening?

Gnome-shell issue. You can disable desktop management as a temporary fix, but the next gnome-shell update will fix the problem.

Problem with openning a new window when click news tiltle link

After create a news item using News form created by XML form builder, i try to click title link, It always opens a new window, what i want is keep it in same window when i click the title link, not open a new one. Is there anyone know how to do that? thanks

Hi,
I think its not possible in case of XML Form Builder. Bcoz,
Edit Form:it is for authoring like creating News
Render list Form:It is for Publishing the News
Show Form:It is for showing the whole content of the News
In XML Form Builder, by default when you create a new form these forms ie. Edit Form (You will design the Form here, only authorised person or the owner only view this).
The Second Form(Render List Item) is the one will be shown to everyone with brief information.
The Third Form(Show Form) is the one when you click on the News page, it will show you one more screen, there you can see the detailed description about the News.
So, when you click on the Rendered List Item Title, it will open only in the separate window.

Since switching to Firefox this week, when I click on a hyperlink in an e-mail in Outlook, I get this message, "General failure. An error occurred in sending the command to the application." It doesn't open a new window or do anything.

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'.

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

Since being upgraded to 3.6.11 CTRL+N doesn't open a new window

My Firefox was updated to 3.6.10 yesterday (3.6.11 today) and now when I try and use CTRL+N to open a new window, nothing happens.
File - New Window doesn't work either.
I can open new tabs

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

Is it possible to keep Firefox open after all windows have closed (and to additionally open a new window when starting another Firefox process)?

Yes, yes, I know, it's not good to keep applications open when they aren't designed to be. I'm sure Firefox has some memory leaks and this is doing more harm than good, but...
My computer isn't the greatest out there, and to increase the usability of my Firefox browser it would be nice to keep the firefox.exe process open, even after closing all windows. I know Firefox doesn't totally close if there is at least one Firefox-related window open, but having to open X popup window seems a bit extreme to get this effect.
Additionally, to allow another window to be opened, it would be cool for the "OH NO FIREFOX IS STILL OPEN" prompts to be replaced with just attempting to open a new window, if this feature is enabled.
So, if it exists already, is there a config variable for it, and if it doesn't exist, is it possible to perform somehow? I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty if it comes to it; I'd really like to get this happening.
I'm running Windows 7 Home, if it matters. (I'd rather be running another OS, but this is neither the time nor place...)

Open a page in a new window when clicking a tab

Hi everyone,
I am developing an apex application with apex 4.1.1 and Oracle 11.2.
I have a tab-set "TS1" in which I have a tab called "startpage". With this tab is associated a page. When logging in, this page is displayed. What I want is when I click the "startpage" tab when I'm in another page than the "startpage", the "startpage" is opened in a new window and the current page doesn't change. Only after a "login", the "stratpage" is displayed without opening a new window. I have tried several things such as an application process, etc but in vain! :-(
Has anyone an idea how can this be possible?
Thanks for help!
Kind regards,

Sounds a little complicated to do with APEX standard tabs because when you click on them they actually submit the page via javascript. It would take some javascript jujitsu to replace that with your own action. You may have better luck replacing your tabs with a list. Or a plugin like the Enkitec Navbar (disclaimer: I do work for Enkitec).
However, would you mind explaining better when your trying to accomplish? It sounds a little strange. What is this page that needs to pop open? It wouldn't be a login window would it?
Thanks

Default to "open in new window" when posting a link

I always forget to set my links to open in a new window and have to go back and edit my post. I also don't like when I may click a link in a thread which takes me to another thread, and I click that link etc, and then realize I have to hit back 15 times to get to the thread I started on. This is a matter of preference, and I feel the "open link in current window" option should still remain, but I would like to see open in new window as the default.

doesn't actually go to that newly opened Tab though.
That's on purpose. The assumption is that you usually don't want to be interrupted from the current page, or you could have simply followed the link and then pressed back. In FF, at least, holding Shift down does take you to the newly opened tab and there's also an option for configuring it.

Open page in new window when click on HELP TAB

Hi
I have a number of tabs which work on my pages. My very last Tab is a Help Tab.
What I'm trying to achieve is that when a person clicks on the Help tab, the page should open in a new window.
The rest of the tabs should function normally, ie just switch pages in the same window.

Appraisal form doesn't open in new window

Hi Guru's,
We are using the BSP application HAP_Document. For the employee we use the "page with flow logic" (SE80) documents_receives_open2.html. This gives an overview of open appraisals.
Our problem is, that when an employee clicks on the link to an appraisal form, that the form opens in the same frame. It should open in a new window.
Hope you can tell me how we can adjust this.
Thanks!
Marco

Hope you've set the option 'Open In New Window' in BSP iView properties.
Also check that In homepage config. for resource which calls this application.For url for pcd page
Replace roles with exroles for e.g. exroles://portal......
This two suggestions solve you issue,
Regards

How to force safari to open a new window when dock icon is clicked

If Safari is already running on my MacBook Yosemite, and I click on the Safari icon in the dock, the Safari window is brought forward. The behavior I want is whenever I click the safari icon on the dock, is that a new safari browser window is opened. I don't see this option in preferences (or any keyboard mouse combination) that would make the dock icon open a new browser window. (an option is available for new windows if you click on a hyperlink, but not if you click on the dock icon) .
p.s. And I don't want to first have to place focus on the current running safari and then click File New...too many steps when all I want is a new browser window
Thanks in advance

Hi css,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you would like to click on Safari in your Dock and have it open a new Safari Window. As you said in your post, clicking on Safari in the Dock brings the Safari window forward. There are a couple of possibilities to help resolve this situation. You can control-click (right click if enabled) on Safari in your Dock which will give you the option to open a new window. You can also click and hold on Safari, otherwise known as Press, to display these same options.
Mac OS X: Additional features of the Dock - Apple Support
Mouse clicks and key combinations for the Dock
Control-click
Reveals contextual menu for item. Menu choices vary per application or file. When used on Dock separator, it reveals Dock preferences. There you can turn magnification and hiding on or off, change the position of the Dock on screen, and change the minimization effect. Choose Dock Preferences to see more options.
