Open Activity in new tab in Internet Explorer 8

Hello,
We are using CRM 7.0. We have a requirement to open several Activities from the Activities' search result screen.
Is there any way to open them in the same session in several tabs (IE8)?
How is it possible not to enter username/password for each Activity?
Thanks in advance,
Sergey

I have the same problem. There are two other problems that might be related. The first one is, sometimes it seems like Firefox loses focus of the page so if I try to refresh the page using CTRL-R or the refresh button, nothing happens. The only way to refresh the page is to hit CTRL-L and Enter as it you're opening the page again. The second problem happens when another window is opened (e.g. new window, new bookmark window from CTRL-SHIFT-B). When you go back to the original window, everytime you go to the tab that the new window was opened from, somehow Firefox brings the window to the front, but the focus is still on the tab.

How to ALWAYS open links in new tabs on IE10, desktop version? Settings Internet Options Tabs seems incomplete......

Hello, I know variations of this question have been asked already, but I'm not finding answers that seem to actually work.
For example, if I click on a link in my Favorites Bar or in my Favorites, they open in the already open tab, not in a new tab.
This is not the case for Firefox; in FF they always open in a new tab. In previous versions of IE there were plugins that enabled this feature, but in IE10, Desktop version, all we seem to have are the tab options in settings. I have tried setting it
to always open in new tabs, and in new a new window, but nothing works.
Please don't mention keyboard shortcuts, as that doesn't seem intuitive; who wants to remind themselves to use the shortcut every time?
And yes, I know I could go back to FF, but I'm not a quitter! I want to like IE10, and I'm willing to give it a chance in spite of a few shortcomings.
Is there a plugin or registry hack to really really really make IE10 ALWAYS open links in new tabs?

Hi,
As far as I know, the behaviors of clicking some links are different due to how they are designed for some websites; there should be some purposes about why they are designed in such
way. There might be no other way to achieve this in Internet Explorer. Please understand that Internet Explorer and Firefox are different, such as on how they are designed and how they work; and Firefox needs an add-on to do this.
In Internet Explorer, there are many shortcut keys to reduce the operations and make it easier to use; I think you can have a try. I would like to share the following with you for your reference:

I use "firefox -new-tab anyPage.html" but it does not open it in new tab. Instead it replaces the last active tab.

Well I use following command to view offline pages using firefox on my linux box
$ firefox -new-tab anyPage.html
But instead of opening it in new tab, it replaces the last active tab.
I have tired
$ firefox -new-tab anyPage.html &
$ firefox -remote "openurl(anyPage.html,NEW_TAB)"
But none works.
Sometimes it do open in new tab but mostly it does not. I have been unable to figure out any pattern.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

(''Note: cross posted from [https://support.mozilla.com/nl/questions/801471 here].'')
I had the same problem, but was able to fix it somewhat.
# Open the about:config page.
# Set the ''browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction'' setting to 0 (= zero).
On my machine this will open new windows in a new tab. However, it switches to the new tab regardless of the setting ''"When I open a link in new tab, switch to it immediatly"''.

Worst update ever! On my Vista everything is wrong! Back button never active; If I want open pages as new tab it opens new window; FF starts with blank page instead of Google; No url address shown on status bar when I move mouse arrow on the link etc

Worst update ever! On my Vista everything is wrong! Back button never active; If I want open pages as new tab it opens new window; FF starts with blank page instead of Google; No url address shown on status bar when I move mouse arrow on the link etc.. Please Help!

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.

Is there an option to left click and open a bookmark in the same tab and right click to open bookmark in new tab?

I want to be able to open bookmarks in the same window without having to right click and then select open. I would like it to be like internet explorer where you have the option to open a bookmark in the same tab or new tab. I had downloaded an add on that solved the problem with a simple right click to open in new tab and left click to open in same tab. This makes things soooo much easier. Am I missing an add on or a configuration where I can solve this problem. Thanks for your time.

Very, very, very confusing!!!!! Exactly which is it that you want to do????? Left-click = same tab or left-click = new tab????
Your initial subject line:
'''''Is there an option to left click and open a bookmark in the same tab and right click to open bookmark in new tab?'''''
Your last post (3rd post):
'''''Is there a way I can left click and automatically open a bookmark in a new tab...'''''
'''''''''...rather than having to left click and then select "open in new tab."'''''''''
Right-click, '''not left-click''', has the "Open in new tab option".
Easy answer is listed in my initial reply; left-click, same tab; middle-click, new tab!
What are your Extensions?
-List them.
-You obviously set up some extension with some kind of conflict.
To find out which Extension is causing the problem, '''enable one-at-a-time''', restart Firefox for the change to take effect (File > Restart Firefox), test. When the problem re-appears, you know the extension causing the problem.

Open Link In New Tab option has gone

When I right click, I expect for the options to include "open link in new tab". Yet instead, the only one that appears is "Open Link in new window". I've tried everything I can think of and there isn't an answer to how to get it back anywhere on the site.
This is very important, please let me know right away.

Try to reset IE to resolve the issue.

How do I make it the default that when I click on a link it will open in a new tab?

Particularly when I am doing a Google search, but also when I am in a site, I find I frequently have to right click and force 'open in a new tab' to avoid the link overriding the current tab. I want to have all links I click on automatically open in a new tab. My settings are set to go to the new tab immediately - that works fine - but too often I have to immediately back-page and re-click using the right-click menu to avoid losing my search or origin page. This is annoying when there are several links I want to explore, and have to backtrack to get to them.
Firefox is my default browser, 29.0.1 at the moment, and it runs on an old Dell laptop using WinXP. Before asking this I did check the available support info without finding an answer. I followed the instructions in the article about Google and the about:config but it did no good - it still defaults to opening in the current tab. It might seem like a small thing but in my search for answers I saw some folks who have the reverse problem - they want links to open in the same tab - so clearly it is a settings issue. How do I fine tune mine to get the result I prefer? Thanks!!

Google search and other websites have a user preference that can be set to open a search result in a new tab or a new window, for users who are logged in to their website.
Otherwise, when you don't have a 3-button mouse or a scroll pad with "middle-click" functionality, you can use '''{Ctrl + Click}''' to open a hyperlink in a new Tab.

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]''' ".

How to force links to open in a new tab everytime?

Hi,
I don't want to have to hold down buttons on my keyboard. When I click a link I wish it to always open in a new tab window like it does for me in internet exploder. How do I accomplish this in Safari?
Thank you for your time.

I'll never get used to having to use a hotkey to get something to show up in a new tab, that much I can say for certain. And I've not yet moved completely away from IE. IE unfortunately has activeX scripts that some automobile manufacturers internal sites use that I must access daily and they only work with the I.E. browser, so even trying to go to their sites with a browser like Safari only produces a page that says you must be using the latest I.E. browser due to bla bla bla.
Its hard to make the switch 100% when your up against these huge auto mfg's that wont be switching to any other browser anytime soon. Even trying to use some browsers that spoof the site into thinking they are the latest I.E. browser does no good since they can't use the activex controls on the pages.
I also severely miss having my mouse gestures. I use them extensively in I.E. to navigate back and forth and to close windows etc. Has anybody seen any mouse gestures for safari yet? I could use them more than having windows open in new tabs even. Also safari is still a bit unstable, I've had it crash about 5 times tonight, compared to Internet Exploder which crashes about once per day.

How do I stop pages opening in a new tab that I haven't clicked on?

This page keeps opening in a new tab on my browser even though I have not clicked on anything.
It is very annoying and manages to open the new tab and put it as the active tab.
I have pop ups disabled and new tabs which open are not supposed to take over the tab that is active.
The page is http://life-localized.com/prize/uk/index.htm?t202id=315925&c1=ams1CL_flZT93rCCFxACGJ2v4ZyQlYyNdSIMOTIuMjkuMjI4LjI3KAE.
Please help

hello, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by malware on your pc. please go to firefox > addons > extensions & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and do a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and also with different tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes].

"Open Link in New Tab" doesn't remember first page in history

I recently noticed that the "Open Link in New Tab" is not remembering the very first page in the tab history. The replication is simple.
# Go to any page (Google works well)
# Right click and chose to open a link on the page in a new tab
# On the new tab, left click a link to load a new page
# The "Go back one page" button will remain grey and you will not be able to go back to the first page for the tab.
# Left click another link and the "Go back one page" button will now be active allowing you to go to the previous page, but not all the way back to the first page of the tab.
This happens whether I use the middle mouse or a right click and chose open in new tab. It is present since I upgraded to Firefox 4.0, but was also happening before the upgrade when I was using Firefox 3.6.

I have the same problem. There are two other problems that might be related. The first one is, sometimes it seems like Firefox loses focus of the page so if I try to refresh the page using CTRL-R or the refresh button, nothing happens. The only way to refresh the page is to hit CTRL-L and Enter as it you're opening the page again. The second problem happens when another window is opened (e.g. new window, new bookmark window from CTRL-SHIFT-B). When you go back to the original window, everytime you go to the tab that the new window was opened from, somehow Firefox brings the window to the front, but the focus is still on the tab.

Open program in new tab

In the old firefox versions when I opened a new site I set it to open a new tab. Under v10, even though I ticked to open new tab in new new window and have searched for any other options, it opens the new page in the same tab as I am working in. Can anyone help, Thanks.

see some shortcuts
with left-click, opens the selected link in the active tab
with middle-click, opens the selected link in a new tab
with right-click, opens context menu with options to open link in new tab or window
with left-click + Ctrl, opens link in a new tab
with left-click + Shift, opens link in a new window

Visio document imported into a SharePoint VisioWebAccess webpart : open links in new tab or window

Hello.
I'm using a SharePoint Server 2010, with a Visio Web Access WebPart.
With Visio 2010, I created a vdw document which I put in this webpart.
This works very well, but i have some hyperlinks which I want to be opened in a new tab (or a new window), so that he SharePoint page won't be replaced by the target page.
So, in Visio, I tried to modify the ShapeSheet of each hyperlink, by setting the "NewWindow" to true. Unfortunately, it does not work : links are replacing the current page.
I found nothing on the web that could give me a trick to do this.
Has anyone an idea ?
Thanks a lot

Hello _David C,
You can create some JavaScript code that will open the hyperlink in a new window. Here is a JavaScript sample that will open the first hyperlink applied to a shape in a new browser window. I have tested it in both IE and FireFox.
<script type="text/javascript">
// Declare the global variables for the script, for the Visio Web Access Web Part, the active page in the Web Part,
// the shapes on the active page, and the shape on the page without hyperlinks.
var vwaControl;
var vwaPage;
var vwaShapes;
var coldShape;
// Add a handler to the AJAX Sys.Application.load event.
Sys.Application.add_load(onApplicationLoad)
function onApplicationLoad()
try{
// Capture a reference to the current instance of the Visio Web Access Web Part.
// Add a handler to the 'diagramcomplete' event.
vwaControl= new Vwa.VwaControl(getVWAWebPartID());
vwaControl.addHandler("diagramcomplete", onDiagramComplete);
catch(err){
alert(err);
function getVWAWebPartID()
// Search all of the <div> tags on the page to find the div tag with the ID of the VWA Web Part.
var divArray = document.getElementsByTagName("div");
var webPartElementID;
for (var i = 0; i < divArray.length; i++) {
var node = divArray[i];
if (node.className == "VisioWebAccess")
webPartElementID = node.parentNode.parentNode.id;
break;
return webPartElementID;
function onDiagramComplete()
try{
// Set the vwaPage and vwaShapes variables to the active page and the shapes collection on that page, respectively.
vwaPage = vwaControl.getActivePage();
vwaShapes = vwaPage.getShapes();
// Set the 'cold shape' for the current active page in the drawing.
selectColdShape();
// Remove the handler from the shape selection changed event and then add it back to the event.
vwaControl.removeHandler("shapeselectionchanged", onShapeSelectionChanged);
vwaControl.addHandler("shapeselectionchanged", onShapeSelectionChanged);
catch(err)
alert(err);
onShapeSelectionChanged = function (source, args)
try{
// Get the array of hyperlinks from the selected shape.
var vwaShape = vwaShapes.getItemById(args);
var newURLArray = vwaShape.getHyperlinks();
var newURL;
// Check to see whether the shape has any hyperlinks.
if (newURLArray.length > 0)
newURL = newURLArray[0].value;
// Check to see if the hyperlink goes to another page in the drawing.
if (newURL.indexOf('vdw') < 0)
// Open the hyperlink in a new window.
var newWindow = window.open(newURL);
else
// Set the active page to the new page.
setNewPage(newURL);
catch(err)
alert(err);
function selectColdShape() {
try {
// Set variables with the names of shapes on the pages that do not contain hyperlinks.
// Customize the values for these variables to fit your web drawing.
var coldShapePg1 = "Sheet.6";
var coldShapePg2 = "Sheet.10";
// Check to see if the coldShape exists on this page.
if (vwaShapes.getItemByName(coldShapePg1)) {
// Set the active shape to the shape without hyperlinks on page 1.
coldShape = vwaShapes.getItemByName(coldShapePg1);
vwaPage.setSelectedShape(coldShape.getId());
else if (vwaShapes.getItemByName(coldShapePg2)) {
// Set the active shape to the shape without hyperlinks on page 2.
coldShape = vwaShapes.getItemByName(coldShapePg2);
vwaPage.setSelectedShape(coldShape.getId());
catch (err) {
alert(err);
function setNewPage(pageId) {
// Set the active page in the drawing to the page ID passed in as argument.
var indexOfAmp = pageId.indexOf("&");
var page = pageId.slice(6, indexOfAmp);
vwaControl.setActivePage(page);
</script>
Note that this code requires that each page have a "cold shape" that does not have any hyperlinks applied to it. In my test drawing, I added a hidden shape (in ShapeSheet, Width = 0, Height = 0) that did not have any hyperlinks. This is because the Vwa.shapeselectionchanged
event fires when you switch pages, which creates the possibility that the JavaScript code will open a new window when you change pages in the viewer.

Is there a way to have search box items open in a new tab?

is there a way to have Safari open searches (from the search box next to the address bar) in a new tab, rather than overwriting the existing one?
I'm guessing the answer to this is "not until someone makes an extension...", but thought I'd ask...

If you're typing in the full search term(s) rather than using their suggestions/recent... you can hold the command key when hitting enter, and the results will open in a new tab. Hold command & shift to make the new tab active.
Command-option does the same thing, but in a new window - again with shift making it active.
