New tabs open in new window or in a pre-existing window that was not currently being used.

What has been happening is that I was running two windows of Firefox at the same time and when trying to open a new tab, the new tab would open in the window that I wasn't currently using. Afterwards I closed one window and upon trying to open links in a new tab, instead it would open a new window.
I have checked the option settings that opening a new window would open a new tab instead is on, which it is.

This can also be a bug.

    Just purchased a new mac mini 3GHz Intel Core i7, with 16GB ram version 10.10.1. With it i purchased a new wireless keyboard. All of a sudden I was not able to use the #1 key. I thought I had a defected newly purchased keyboard. I pulled out my older wireless keyboard, and the same thing happened. It must not be the keyboard if it happened to two different keyboards. I have a habit of restarting my computer, when things don't work, I find it helps, and sure enough, everything works. Today, it happened again. Does anyone know what is causing this to happen?

  • How to open a new window that's not a page

    can you create a hyperlink, let's say from a photo of a person, that opens in a seperate window which is not another page?
    if that's not possible, can you create the same hyperlink, and have it open as a new page, but not have the page listed as it's own button.  meaning it is invisible unless you navigate from the page with the photo/hyperlink?

    You can do both...

  • Editing a web site using windows that was made with iweb using a MAC

    I published my web site using iweb with my MBP, but at times would like to edit it when I'm running windows. Anyone know how to do it?

    You can't. To edit a site created by iweb, you must be using a mac with iweb installed and also with the Domain file installed that was used to create the site.
    http://homepage.mac.com/thgewecke/iwebdata.html
    Of course you can mess with the html and other files created by iWeb with any app you please, but any changes will be overwritten if you republish from iWeb later.

  • In version 3.6 I can not open a website link from original page, I keep getting a new window that is blank and asking me to put in a web address. What has changed with the new version?

    When on a page if I click on a web link I get a new window that is blank and asks me enter a web address. This started happening with the new 3.6 version. It seems to have something to do with what I choose for the location in my privacy settings as the window changes with each setting but I still cannot get to the new site. Any ideas? I have no problem with this in IE and I have to keep opening IE when I encounter the problem on Firefox which is annoying.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • I have a number of tabs opened in a window and i have grouped them.Is there any add-on or extension so that i can hide it or secure it or lock that tab group ?

    My laptop is being shared by others...so when others open the firefox page they can see all the tabs opened in a window or a tabgroup.i want o hide the tabgroup or secure tha tabs in a window by creating a passoword so that the others dont get the chance to view the tabs that i was browsing and so they have to open a new window and thus all the information in my tabs is safe and still are open even if they close their new window after their browsing.

    hello, when you're using a shared computer a better option would be to create separate (password-protected) windows accounts for each user - then each one would have her/his own firefox profile...

    Aloha, Go to Programms>Uninstall Itunes and AppleMobile Device service from your computer or laptop.
    Then re install Itunes.  When Itunes finishes downloading RESTART your computer and open Itunes, plug in your Iphone immediately with USB cable and Itunes will recognize it.  Apple Mobile Device service is causing the problem.  Hope this helps

  • I accidently closed my window with all my app tabs, now the only window that opens was a 2nd one I had open. How do I get back all my app tabs from the previous window, and why didn't it give me the usual warning you are closing more than one tab?

    Then the (App) tabs from that window are lost unless you can restore an older copy of the sessionstore.js file (Time Machine?) that has that lost window.

  • Firefox opens with a window that says "Checking for compatibility for Add-ons" then it always opens 2 tabs... one with my home page and one that says Congratulations, Firefox is up to date. How can I stop it from starting that way?

    Hi konee,
    You should look at [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox this article about that specific issue] and the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved]. These should give you all the information you need!
    If that doesn't work:
    # Type about:config in the address bar
    # Click ''I'll be careful, I promise'' if prompted
    # In the Filter input field type ''startup''
    # Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
    # Delete the text string and click ''OK''
    # Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • Open URL; constraining window that opens

    Here is my challenge: I want to link to another project and
    have that project open in a new window. Is there a way within
    Captivate 3 that allows me to constrain those features in the new
    window that is going to open?
    In non-Captivate instances, when I want to constrain in this
    way, I can embed these characteristics in the launch button by
    using Dreamweaver when creating my launch button in the launching
    html. I don't see a similar opportunity when setting button
    properties in Captivate. Any ideas?

    I cannot seem to make this work, but I am sure that is due to
    my lack of technical skill, not the solution itself.
    I followed your directions literally, and cut and pasted into
    the standard.js, which now reads just like this:
    //Copyright 2006 Adobe Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.
    //This is the base class for implementing an Active Content
    extension -- a piece of code that knows how to rewrite OBJECT tags
    so that they comply to the Eolas patent without making the browser
    display the "Press OK to continue loading the content of this page"
    message box.
    // When the user hovers the mouse over an ActiveX control in
    Internet Explorer 6 updated with (April 2006) Cumulative Security
    Update (912812) or Internet Explorer 7, the following message is
    displayed:
    // “Press Spacebar or Enter to activate and use this
    control.”
    // The user can now click the mouse anywhere inside the
    ActiveX control area, or press the Spacebar or Enter key to
    activate the control.
    // The standard.js file has been introduced to retain the
    earlier behavior where the control remains interactive from the
    first click to the last.
    function writeDocument(s){document.write(s);}
    function openNewWin(strFile,strWinName,strParams)
    if (!strFile)
    alert("No file specified in openNewWin!");
    if (!strWinName)
    strWinName = "newCPTWin";
    if (!strParams)
    strParams = "width=790, height=545";
    var o = window.open(strFile, strWinName, strParams);
    o.focus(); // bring window to front if it's already open
    Do I need to be replacing the values in the parentheses with
    the actual filename of the other project I wish to call? (the .htm
    file, no doubt?)
    And, do I need to create my window style and give it the name
    of "newCPTWin"?
    Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
