Navigation bar opens new tabs for links on the same site - only newer versions of FireFox does this! Why?

I've used this custom navigation bar for nearly a decade. New versions of FireFox open new tabs when I navigate to different pages on my weather site. Very annoying!!! I've tried turning off tabs, but then it opens NEW WINDOWS! These links ARE NOT ENCODED TO OPEN IN NEW WINDOWS! What is causing this? Looks like I"m going to have to switch to Chrome or go back to IE, since nobody at Mozilla seems to care about this. They seem to think it is a good feature and not a bug. What gave you the right to decide to open new tabs at random times? If I click a link on a site that is on the same site I'm already on, and the link isn't coded for _blank, then it should open in the same window!

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.

Why doesn't the rotate gesture on my trackpad behave as it used to for switching between tabs when it works the same with all other programs besides Firefox?

Why doesn't the rotate gesture on my trackpad behave as it used to for switching between tabs when it works the same with all other programs besides Firefox?
I changed the about:config to make the rotate gesture move between tabs, and it worked great for well over a year. Now it behaves erratically as described here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=877598
It used to be very controllable to move one tab over, now it is erratic and moves quickly and to unexpected tabs regardless of how slow I do the rotate gesture. This is the main reason I use Firefox over Chrome and I would like to continue to do so unless there is no fix to this.

Just set the browser.gesture.twist.threshold to something around 15-25.

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the corrupt tracks from the music section of your iTunes library, close & then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked. This seems to help with partial downloads...
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

Can't access to several sites because when I click a link, or I insert login and password and clickto enter, it just open a new tab, either blank or the same as the previous. i.e., can't save my changes on FB, can't look for a location on googlemaps, etc.

I changed in about:config "network.protocol-handler.expose-all" setting it to "false" to allow me to use Sopcast player (which I added on "network.protocol-handler.app.sop"). But after that, every time I have to, i.e., look for a location on Googlemaps, when I entered it it just open a new tab with the same page I was in; every time I click on a link it doesn't redirect me, it open a new page; I can't save changes on Facebook because when I click on "save changes" it just open another FB home page in a new tab; same problem with opening my bank account, etc. Even here, I could not get in when I tried to login. Now I put back "true" on "network.protocol-handler.expose-all", but, of course, Sopcast doesn't work anymore. What can I do? I'm using Firefox 6.0.2 on Ubuntu 11.04. The Trubleshooting informations I attached here are those that gave me the problem, before I made the aforementioned changing going back to "true". Thank you

I think I may have found the problem. It's embarrassing to find it minutes after posting the message yet I tried to solve it off and on for three days! My brother who is a 20 year Mac user has been trying to help me too. I guess it's true what they say... sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. LOL
I turned off the parental controls. What I don't understand is that the no website restrictions box was checked. To me this means I should be able to go to any site I wanted. Can anyone explain why I couldn't got to a HTTPS page on a parental controlled account even though there were no restrictions placed on it?
It's late and I need sleep. I'll leave this open for now until I have more time to test it.

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.
*CTRL+left-click the Home icon will open a new tab to your set home page.

When I open a new tab, it shows on the taskbar as a new window, help me close them..

Since I installed 4.01, every-time I try to open a new tab, it shows as a new window in my task-bar.
I don't like it showing that way! How can I change that?

You should be able to turn that off here:
orange Firefox button > Options > Tabs
''or''
Tools menu > Options > Tabs
''Uncheck'' "Show tab previews in the Windows taskbar"
Does that fix it?

Drilldown in new tab instead of in the same tab

I have one tab\page with report, which display some column with hierarchy data (country).
The pivot table header looks like: day, measure1, measure2.
where each measure column is divided to several columns based on countries number: country 1, country 2, country 3.
When you click on sepecific country, the view is refreshed. The table is look the same but instead of countries I now see cities in the selected country: columns for city1, city2, etc'.
The issue is that the refreshed view is open in new tab and all other tabs disappeared.
At the bottom there is 'return' link, but I don't want this behaviour.
How can I configure the drill down to be at the same tab and keep showing all other tabs as well?

If it is not navigation then it must be dimesional hierarchy in Admin tool.If you are clicking one column and same report open in another page with one additional column it means there is dimensional hierarchy in place.
In that casee go to section properties and check 'Drill in Place'.
It will open the report in same page.

Sandeep

How do I set a new tab page to be the same as my homepage?

Whenever I open a new tab in the one window the home page for that tab is dito my Firefox homepage. How do I set the new tab to be the same page as my home page?I've been through all the FAQ's on tabs and homepage but nothing shows me how to do this.
Cheers,
Matt

Using Mac OS, Firefox 3.6 will not save nor open html files with spaces in the file name. Will version 4.0 do this?

I have hundreds of saved files with names that have spaces in them (like movie 10 41.html). I could not use Firefox 3.6 because it would not open these files for viewing and had to reinstall Firefox 3.5.8 which I have now. If I install Firefox 4.o, will I have the same problem? I use Mac OS 10.5

I have Firefox 3.6.6, and now that Firefox 4.0 is available, it crashes constantly. Sometimes less than 5 minutes after I open it. I have a Mac 10.4.11, so Firefox 4.0 isn't an option for me. When I asked Ff to check my plug-ins it said there was an error and to check back later. Twice.
Because I didn't have any (any) problems with my Ff before the upgrade became available, I am forced to question if Ff has done something to make the earlier version crash so you'll upgrade, but I can't afford to upgrade my Mac right now.
In the meantime, I do need a browser that works! I dislike Safari, Chrome is also not available on Mac 10.4.11, and Explorer is just plain not available on Mac.
Do you have any suggestions on how to fix my Firefox 3.6.6?

How do I fix my iPod when it goes to a white screen and then grey with a dark oval in the middle. I have tried restarting it a few times but it just goes back to the same thing. It has also been doing this for two days now.

please help me!

- Have you tried resetting the iPod.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Then connect to computer and if it shows in iTunes restore.
- If screen is still on, let the battery fully drain. Then charge for an hour and try the reset and retore again.

Making a new tab from link or blank tab it shows my original tab site and i cant do anything with it. how do i fix this!?

When i add a new tab in all the ways possible it places a new tab but just shows the same site that is on the 1st tab and i cant do anything with it and still says new tab.
if i wanted to bring a link up in a new tab it does this and if i want a blank tab. i have to open a new window.

Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

Opening new window or tab to the same site being viewed on another tab/wind

I am a new MacBook user. In my past experience with Internet Explorer, I would often open a new window to the same site that I was already viewing through File>Open New Window. This method was often preferable to opening a new window through the IE icon and loading to the homepage. I have gotten quite used to this pattern and am trying to figure out if there is a way to open a new tab or window to the same page that I am already viewing. I know how to open a new tab or window, but rather than going to the same page as in IE, the new tab is blank and the new window goes to the home page. I am using Safari and Firefox and can't figure out how to do this in either browser.

Hi,
Try this, I think it works for both Safari and Firefox (not 100% sure on Firefox but think so...)
Press command+l (lowercase L) and then press commandoptionpress return. That will open a new window with the current webpage in the new window. To open a new tab with the same details, omit the option key in the second step.
Command key = one with the Apple symbol
Option key may be called Alt on your keyboard.
Hope that works!

About a month ago I couldn't access 100s of pix from my iPhoto library. I then went through the process of "re-finding" all missing pix. I 2x checked that they opened. Now, I'm having the same original problem! What's iPhoto doin with my pix?

Try rebuilding the library.
Hold down the Option and Command keys then launch iPhoto.
Select: Repar the iPhoto Library Database
Click Rebuild.

When I click on a link, it opens in a new tab, FF3.6, would open a link in the same tab, unless Iwanted it in a new tab.

Any link that isn't a button, opens in a new tab.

I don't know of this behavior being changed just by going to Firefox 4.0, basically this is difficult to do if you want that behavior.
'''Middle-click''' defaults in Firefox to opening a link in a new tab (I override through the system to be "Enter")
Do the links open '''into separate tabs''' or do they open into the '''same different tab''' (like in Google searches).
Does this happen from any web page. Normal preferences (but maybe not default) used from search bar, and search results.
Firefox 4.0 introduced '''app-tabs''' which are pinned or unpinned from the tab context menu (right-click on tab). A pinned tab would not show the title on the tab and shows the favicon centered on a narrowed tab. Links opened from pinned tabs open in a new tab, does not apply to use of keyword shortcuts -- not links.
"'''Perma Tabs Plus'''" extension could do that but you would have to invoke it for each tab, though isn't of much/any use in Firefox 4.0 although it did work differently it is or was not working same with Firefox 4.0 (though I still have it active).
"'''Tabs Mix Plus'''" fiddles around with a lot of things almost anything could happen and it could leave things permanently switched (if you have it check it's options; I would never recommend the extension).
Try bringing up Firefox once in "'''Safe Mode'''" to see if that behavior disappears. Firefox 4 can help you with that quickly though Help ("Alt+H") -> "'''Restart with add-ons disabled..'''." this method will bring up safe mode for only the one time, then back to normal. This may not affect all things changed in "Tabs Mix Plus" but otherwise if things work properly in safe mode it generally means an extension was involved.
If an extension is involved the first place I look is "'''[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions Problematic extensions]''' " then the process of whittling down possibilities by disabling/reenabling half of enabled/disabled extensions described in ''' Extension issues''' within "'''[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_(Firefox)#Extension_issues Standard diagnostic - Firefox - MozillaZine Knowledge Base]''' ".
