"Open Link In New Tab" option not working.

Last night I updated Firefox and now I am unable to use the "Open Link in New Tab" feature from the file menu or from the right-click menu. The only way I can open a link in a new tab now is if I control-click it.

Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

  • Open Link in New Window Option Not Working in Top Link Bar

    Hello,
    We have a 'Popular Links' section in our Top Link Bar for our intranet site that contains a list of frequently used links. Since most of these links navigate to sites outside of SharePoint, we would like these to open in a new tab or window when clicked. 
    I've enabled the 'Open Link in New Window' option under Site Navigation Settings for each link, however when a user clicks the links that have had this option enabled the content is still loaded in the current tab.
    Is this the correct set of steps to enable this content, or is there a better way to accomplish this that actually works?

    You can try deactivating Minimal Download Strategy feature present under "Manage Site Features"....

  • Hai i am using firefox 3.6.When right clicking on a link and a window opens up, i want it to ask me "Open Link in New tab" first, not second.

    hai i am using firefox 3.6.When right clicking on a link and a window opens up, i want it to ask me "Open Link in New tab" first, not second.

    First, you are using a version of Firefox that is very old and outdated. Please update to at least Firefox 3.6.27, or more preferably, update to Firefox 10.0.2. There are lots of bug fixes, security improvements, and much improved performance in Firefox 10.
    After you do that, try seeing if you are still having a problem. If you are, is this that when you try to select "Open in a new tab" it opens in a new window instead? Or something else?

  • 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.

  • Why was the open link in new tab option removed in favor of a right click? This is inefficient and a step backwards in functionality.

    This was an option on previous versions of Firefox and its annoying to right click to open in a new tab when it was a native function in prior versions.

    the user jay_ff shows how to do it using the Menu Editor Add-on
    1. Install the Menu Editor add-on from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/menu-editor/ .
    2. After the installation, go to Firefox> add-ons (or simply use Ctrl+Shift+A)
    3. Go to the Menu Editor "Options"
    4. In the "Main context menu," simply grab the "Open link in New Tab" and place it below the "Open Link in New Window"
    5. and Voila! You may also change other menu options if you want to!
    I tried jay_ff method first and found that indeed changing the Main Context Menu did cause the hotlink context menu to change as well.

  • Open Link in New Window is not working...

    When I right click on a link and select '''Open Link in New Window''', a new window opens but there is nothing on it.
    The same thing happens when I right click on a Tab and select '''Move to New Window'''.
    Right click and select '''Open Link in New Tab''' works just fine.

    This began to happen to me when I tried to run two separate profiles simultaneously on the same installation of firefox with -no-remote

  • Open link in new window will not work

    I am running Firefox 3.6.12 on Windows XP and have never had a problem until just recently. If I right click and select "open link in new window", a new window will open, but it is blank. This started about a week ago while playing Pogo...the game rooms will not load because they open in a new window. Now I am noticing that it is with everything, not just Pogo.
    I have tried checking and unchecking the "block pop-ups" option and the new windows will not load either way.
    Any help would be appreciated!!!
    Thanks!

    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).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Opening a link using "open link in new window" does not work. I can only use "open in new tab" option. Is this normal with the Firefox 4?

    I really don't have any more info. When I upgraded my Firefox to the latest version I have noticed that I can 't use this Open in new window option any more. I have reinstalled the software using its US English version( first time I have chosen the UK English version) but to no avail.

  • Command click to open link in new tab no longer works in google scholar

    Well the question basically says it all. Starting a couple of weeks ago, i have not been able to command click links to open in new tabs (I am on a mac, OS X 10.6.8). This includes links to google books as well as library links. This only happens on google scholar. It also happens in 'safe mode'. I have contacted google support who have stated that this is a browser issue. They have not changed the coding of the scholar site. This is very frustrating. I have used FF for years and am now going to have switch to Safari, whose own command click function continues to work in google scholar. Any thoughts/ suggestions?

    Yes this issue is definitely related to Firefox. As I stated at the outset, the command click works fine in safari (although I prefer not to use it due to its restriction of automatically opening enw files in EndNote).
    I was curious as to whether the issue was triggered by new coding on the part of Google scholar. Doesn't seem that way. Although I am still curious whether some of the style coding of the scholar page is creating issues... Given that command clicking works on every other page including regular Google searches...
    The point though, was to generate some leads as to where this problem may best be addressed and what is the best language with which to do so...
    Any advice on how to actually get these questions to Firefox support? That is how I wound up here in the first place!

  • Opening links in new tab will not load pages either from new link or bookmarked pages after firefox 3.6 update

    After updating my fire fox to 3.6.3 I now cannot click on links into a new tab it will just open a blank tab, after hitting refresh, nothing happens. But when clicking bookmark link it will open in new tab as wanted but will not load unless I re-click it a second time. Clicking links normally will load page. Entering a URL like www.yahoo.com will not load either. To get to this page I had to a search engine like yahoo and type in fire fox website and it from there.

    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).

    i have all the issues stated in my question as of this morning. they werent there last night. WTF happened to my beloved firefox? BTW,
    I got an amd dual core 4000, nvidia gtx 9800, 4 gigs ram, running on windows xp sp3.
    BTW, windows updated last night, and thats when i got the problems

    I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
    When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
    At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
    I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

  • Safari open link in new tab is gone

    hi i have problem with safari(5.0.5) 10.6.7, from the past  2weeks it is behaving very oddly,
    -.the short menu adressing open link in new tab is not at all appearing , at present i m using on keyboard options
    -when i enter webpage it opens in the other tab instead of the tab i intend to ,the content from other tab becomes the same as the other, also some of ther options from short menu lke save image , save image as also lost .
    -when i reset safari and restart open link in new tab appears in the short menu for 5-10 min (occassionally) and then again the same problem .
    i tried setting preferences , updated software ,
    but nothing works. .can anyone help me plz

    Check Safari / Preferences then select the Extensions tab. If you have any installed, turn that off, quit then relaunch Safari to test.
    And try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file  (preferences)
    Quit Safari.
    Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
    Relaunch Safari. If that made a difference, move that .plist file to the Trash. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder.
    And try resetting Safari. From the menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.

  • "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.
