New tabs do not open with middle mouse in Windows, but not Linux

I've seen this bug reported a few times already, but none of them seem to have resolved the issue (at least for me).
I have a Lenovo ThinkPad T510 currently running two operating systems on separate partitions (Windows 7 and Fedora 20). Firefox is my default browser in both operating systems and both are up to date. Both browsers are using the same plugins and extensions as well (which is essentially nothing because I just performed a clean install of both OS's).
Now, I should be clear that I'm using the laptop's built-in touch-pad/track-point for mouse navigation and not an external mouse.
Interestingly, when I click the middle mouse trackpad button on a link to open a new tab, it works under Fedora, but not under Windows. I've checked the about:config already and ensured that they too are identical in regards to middle mouse button settings.

Does it work with an actual mouse?
On Linux those prefs are true by default.

  • I can not figure out how to set-up my home page so that it starts with Goggle, and then evrytime I open a new tab, it too opens with Goggle. TY 4 any help.

    Firefox has always opened a blank new tab, if it opened to anything else that would be caused by an add-on. Check your add-ons to see if any offer this feature, or if any were disabled when you updated to Firefox 4.
    The NewTabURL add-on can be used to open a page of your choice in new tabs - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl

  • Can't open a new tab with the + for tabs. Can open with Mid mouse button. Nightly.

    When I click The + to open a new tab in Nightly, it does nothing. I can open new tabs with mid ouse button, or right click>open in new tab. Just cant open a new tab via the + button. Started 3 updates ago in nightly (3 days ago pretty much).

    Are you using a 32 bit Nightly build or a 64 bit Nightly build?
    The 64 bit Nightly build for Windows is only generated to test for compilation errors and doesn't undergo all the tests that other builds get, so the risk that something goes wrong can be quite high.<br />
    So if you do use the 64 bit version then try the 32 bit version to see if you still have this problem.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

  • My Adobe 5 will not open with my version of Windows 7?

    I recently purchased a new computer with Windows 7.  The last two days when trying to open various  items through Adobe, it says my version of Windows does not work with Adobe 5.  I need to get this taken care of as soon as possible.

    Acrobat 5 is not compatible with Win 7. Nothing anyone can change. You need to buy Acrobat X or resort to the free Acrobat Reader.

  • I want my new tab key to open thumbnails of recently visited windows

    when I followed the support suggestion to go to about:config and double-click on browser.newtab.url (which listed a string inserted by malware), I get a dialog box titled "Enter string value". When I type in about:newtab, nothing happens. The offending string still stays. When I enter a URL like www.aol.com. same thing. I can't get rid of that string (http://search.conduit.com/?ctid=CT3324790&octid=EB_ORIGINAL_CTID&SearchSource=69&CUI=&SSPV=&Lay=1&UM=4&UP=SP1ED49144-6070-4DF8-82E5-5AF907883DBD) which is full of adverts.

    You can check in "Windows Control Panel > Programs" for recently installed programs to see if anything from Conduit or any other suspicious software shows up.
    *Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features > Uninstall or change a program
    *Click the Installed column to sort by this heading

  • Ora-01882 "timezone region not found" with 3.0.03.97 but not with 3.0.03.45

    I installed the version 3.0.03.97 of SQL-Developer and now get an ora-01882 when I connect to a DB. I don't get this Problem when using version 3.0.03.45.
    Putting "AddVMOption -Duser.region=DE" in the sqldeveloper.conf didn't solve this problem though.
    The problem happens both with the connection-type "simple" and "TNS".
    I am on 32bit Windows 7 Professional.
    Java JDK is jdk1.6.0_23.
    Oracle Instantclient is 11.1.0.1.0
    Database is version 9.2.0.1.0
    Anyone got this problem too? What changed between both versions of the SQL-Developer?
    Regards
    Markus
    Edited by: Charon on Mar 24, 2011 11:52 AM

    I found something but need confirmation:
    SQL-Developer says my timezone is "Europe/Berlin".
    If I run this:
    SELECT *
    FROM   V$TIMEZONE_NAMES
    WHERE  tzname LIKE 'Europe/%'I get no hits with "Berlin" in it but quite a few others.
    One of them is "Europe/Istanbul".
    If I now add "AddVMOption -Duser.timezone=Europe/Istanbul" to my sqldeveloper.conf I can finally connect to my Database!
    So does version 3.0.03.97 of SQL-Developer somehow check this view for available timezones? Did the previous version not check this? Whats the solution for me then? (using the Istanbul timezone here doesn't seem right to me)

  • Not Compatable with Device Message coming up, but NOT connected to anything

    Anyone have any idea why I keep getting this? My phone keeps asking if I want to switch to airplane mode, or tells me that the device isn't compatable, but I'm not plugged in. I shut off, turned back on, logged in and updated to version 4.0.1, can't figure it out. Thanks.

    Check the dock connector port for any dirt, lint, or foreign material and it doesn't take much.
    This can also occur with water or moisture damage around the dock connector port.

    I had a repair done on my MacBook Pro and had to have a new hard drive installed. The Apple Auth Repair Shop then updated the OS from 10.6.8 to 10.7.5. Now my iPhoto v 9.2.3 will not open and it sounds like it will not work with this OS. Can you please advise?

    You may need many other updates to retain compatibility with Lion. I suggest you reinstall Snow Leopard. Unfortunately, you will need to erase the drive first. Be sure to backup your data if you haven't done so already.
    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
    Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
    the drive and everything on it.
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
             with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
             After the chime press and hold down the  "C" key.  Release the key when you see
             a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
         2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
             button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
             After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
             and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
             (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. After you finish Setup Assistant will complete the installation after which
             you will be running a fresh install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process
             by opening Software Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your
             installation current.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

  • Verity Credit Union site will not open with the new Firefox. How can I get the old Firefox back?

    I want old Firefox back. My credit union, Verity, will not open with the new version of Firefox I have downloaded.

    @glennhaste, the public pages I visited seem identical in IE8 and Fx10, but you may be referring to a part of the site that requires logging in (impossible for non-customers to view).
    Since the problem is so recent, can you recall any changes you made in Firefox, or are you aware of any changes your CU made on its site?
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    1. Clear Firefox's Cache
    Firefox > Preferences > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Offline Storage : "Clear Now"
    2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here
    While viewing a page on the site, "right-click" and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies" (''Sorry, I don't know how you right-click on a Mac'')
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

  • Raw files from the new Nikon D810 will not open with either Photoshop CS5.1 or Lightroom 4.  When will a real Adobe solution be available to work with Raw (NEF) files in their native format, using CS5.1 and LR4?

    Raw files from the new Nikon D810 will not open with either Photoshop CS5.1 or Lightroom 4.  When will a real Adobe solution be available to work with Raw (NEF) files in their native format, using CS5.1 and LR4?

    Clarification: this is a user forum; you are not addressing Adobe here.
    The answer to your question as phrased is: never.
    CS5 is history and it is not longer supported.  There will not be any updates or bug fixes for CS5.
    You need to convert the raw NEF files from your D810 to raw DNGs using the free, standalone Adobe DNG Converter 8.6 RC (beta), the first version ever to support that camera.. 

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

    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).
