Open links from applications in new tabs

I want to make it so that when I click a link in, for example, Mail, instead of opening in a new window in Safari, it opens as a new tab in the most recently used Safari window. Is this possible, either with settings, or with a 3rd party application?
Thanks so much,
David

Hi David
Go to Safari Preferences>General. At the bottom you'll see an option for opening in a tab. Makes sure Tabs are enabled in your Tab panel.

"Open links from applications" in Safari 5

Preferences > General > "Open links from applications"
This has been removed in Safari 5, so when I open, say, 10 weblocs I keep in a folder in the Finder, I now get 10 separate windows.
1) ***, Apple?!?
2) Any suggestions for a hack to fix this stupid oversight?
I could probably change Preferences > Tabs > Open pages in tabs instead of windows (which I currently have set to "Never" because it overrides keystroke+click for telling Safari how to open a link) and see what that does, but I like that preference the way it is.

Hi,
Is there any workaround for this issue. Because when multiple window gets spanned we are getting confused. Or let us know if there is any way to open the download prompt alone instead of opening up with the new window. One more thing to note is once the download is complete the new window also doesn't closes automatically which needs to be closed manually. This makes very annoying. Kindly let us know how to prevent the new empty window from opening.
Vijay.

Open youtube video link from gmail in new tab instead of same page?

Hi came back t fox after 3 years. Yesterday after 1,2 months of using a standard action was changed. I was in my gmail clicking on youtube notification to open video in next tab.
While it was late FF asked me would I like to stay on page or leave it - I chose stay. Now when I want to open video links from gmail it opens in current tab - I failed with research on my own, hence asking community.
btw browser.link.open_newwindow is set to 1.
Thanks in advance.

Hi.
For a laptop user it is essential to use only pad - for me late at night I would like to open youtube link in new window, one hand wihtout ctrl key, then double click to close tab not finding that tiny x.
This reminds me that problem comes from TAB UTILITIES addon -although I think mentioned notification is built in from gmail or fox.
Currently my about:config settings
browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external
browser.newtabpage.storageVersion
are set to 1
And it works as I wanted - so far.

Firefox keeps opening links as well as new tab

While browsing, if I long-click a hyperlink and select "Open in a new tab" from the ensuing menu, even though it opens the tab it also follows the hyperlink in the original tab. How do I prevent it from opening the link in my current tab?

Sorry, this seems to be an issue on some pages that have scripts connected to the links. The workaround in an earlier thread (for Gizmodo) was to slide your finger down a line or two after the menu appears so that when you lift your finger it is not on any link.

We are building ADF custom applications and want to integrate them with EBS R12 (12.1.3) through Responsibilities and Menus.
We have achieved session sharing and launching the Custom ADF app from EBS menu. The problem is, the Custom ADF page opens in the same page.
Is there anyway to open the ADF application in new tab or window while launching from EBS Menu ?

How do I stop firefox from switching to new tab when opening bookmarks in new tab

When I open a link in a new tab it does not switch to it automatically. I had to reinstall firefox to stop it from switching to new tabs automatically since the option being unticked didn't stop it from happening anyway. Now only when I open a bookmard in a new tab it still switches to the new tab and I do not want it to. Why is it doing this with the option unchecked and a fresh install with no add ons of any sort? And how do I make it stop?

Try to set the Boolean pref browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground to true on the about:config page.

MAC - Can't open a link/URL in a new tab inside a folder

I can't open a link/URL in a new tab inside a folder from a Mac. I am sure I can do that in PC. Please advice. Thanks in advance.

Does the URL go to a regular web page, or another kind of file (e.g., PDF, PowerPoint)?
If you right-click the link and choose Copy Link Location, then paste to the address bar and press Enter, does Firefox load the link as expected?

Firefox upon opening an image in a new tab, centers the image from top and bottom and surrounds the image with a grey frame. Just started having the problem today, searched Google to no avail.

Oh wow, looks like a new feature.
The "page" links in a stylesheet with the address "resource://gre/res/TopLevelImageDocument.css". If you remove that reference, then the image displays in the old style.
'''''Edit: Please skip the rest of this post and check out the next one.'''''
There might be a more elegant solution than that, but you could use a bookmarklet to strip out that link when you want to view the page in its old style. A bookmarklet is a snippet of JavaScript you save on the Bookmarks toolbar for quick access.
First, copy the following code to the clipboard (it's all one long line):
 javascript:var ssheet=document.querySelector('link[href="resource://gre/res/TopLevelImageDocument.css"]'); if(ssheet)ssheet.parentNode.removeChild(ssheet); void 0;
Next, if you are not displaying the Bookmarks Toolbar, use View > Toolbars > Bookmarks Toolbar to display it. (If you aren't using the classic Menu bar, press Alt+v to call up the old View menu. Right-clicking the gray area just below the page address also allows you to display the Bookmarks Toolbar.)
Right-click on the Bookmarks Toolbar (or Mac equivalent of right-click!) and choose New Bookmark.
Paste the code into the Location box (the second box).
Then type a useful name in the Name box (e.g., Oldstyle Picture) and click Add.
Now, when you want to tweak the image display, click the button to run the script.
Manual clicking is a hassle, so it might make sense to look into other solutions. (Greasemonkey didn't seem to work; I think it might not run on .jpg files.)

Open Sharepoint Link List items in new tab?

I have a sharepoint list which is Link List.Actually When I click on item in that link list it should be open in the new tab/window

Hi,
According to your description, you might want to open Link list items in a new tab/windows.
If it is not a must behavior to use the “URL” column to hold the hyperlink, I would suggest you use “Hyperlink with formatting and constraints for publishing” column
instead which can let users decide to open the hyperlink in a new tab or not.
It is required to activate the “SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure” in the “site collection features”, create a column of this type in “Site Settings ->
Web Designer Galleries -> Site Columns”, then you can add it into your list.
Here is a link about how to add publishing columns to content types, lists, or libraries, you could use it as a reference:

Not opening links from mail - firefox turns grey at bottom

firefox usually opens links from "mail" in a new tab. Sometimes
firefox greys out and will not allow links to open. Clearing history
or restarting firefox solves the problem somettimes. Multiple restarts
may be required.

I suggest you to file a bug report regarding this issue: https://bugreport.apple.com/
I can confirm that Safari has serious issues with opening links from other applications. For example Content Guide links in Quicktime Player opens empty windows.

Opening a webpage in a new TAB in OBIEE 11G

I am working on Action Links in OBIEE11g where I am supposed to open a webpage in a new TAB from a report using Action Links. I am able to open the link in a new window but not in new tab. Is there any solution for this? Any help would really be appreciated!

CSS will not help you at all (style sheet can make your link nice and colorful, but will not any impact on what the link does).
JS is the same, it will not help you because tab/windows is subject to the user settings (JS works into the webpage, but has no control, luckily for all of us, on the browser itself).
Srini VEERAVALLI gave you the answer, the same (just different place) is valid for FF or Chrome.

Mavericks... Safari... One tab fills the entire bar, so I can't drag a link to create a new tab. Help?

Okay, so I just downloaded Mavericks from the App Store... Upgraded from Snow Leopard, I should add. There's a multitude of problems regarding scrolling and such (the scrollbar sometimes doubles back a bit when I'm scrolling; the google search engine page sometimes locks up and doesn't scroll at all, etc). However, the worst problem has to be the tabs bar. I enabled the tabs bar in View > Show Tab Bar; unfortunately, when I open up a new window, go to a page and try dragging a link to the tabs bar, it won't open that page in a new tab. It asks if I'm sure I want to leave the page. I'm not about to start dragging each link into the utmost right corner, position it on the "+" sign, and make new tabs that way.
Is there a workaround for this? Any way to decrease the size of that initial tab?

I just noticed command-click is a setting in Safari's Preferences. I believe it's the default setting, but perhaps yours is not set.
Open Preferences in Safari (under Safari in the Menu Bar). Choose the "Tabs" tab on top. Check the box that says "command click opens a link in a new tab". (Actually, the command symbol is shown instead of the word.)

Open local file automatically in new tab

I'm using Mac OS X.
I have set that a html file opens in Firefox by default.
When I double click the file it opens in a new window instead a new tab which it should do like it does in Google Chrome. Also I have set from Firefox settings "Open new windows in new tabs instead" but it doesn't seem to change anything.

Externally launched links may depart from the behavior for internal links. Specifying precisely what you want requires a visit to the about:config preferences editor. I think it's (C) below that you might want to change.
In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
In the filter box, type or paste '''link.o''' and pause while the list is filtered.
Double click these and set the value as desired:
'''(A) browser.link.open_newwindow'''
3 = divert new window to a new tab (default) (checked*) 
2 = allow link to open a new window (unchecked*) 
1 = force new window into same tab
'''*''' First checkbox in Options > Tabs
'''(B) browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction''' - for links in Firefox tabs
0 = apply the setting under (A) to ALL new windows (even script windows) 
2 = apply the setting under (A) to normal windows, but NOT to script windows with features (default) 
1 = override the setting under (A) and always use new windows
'''(C) browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external''' - for links in other programs
-1 = apply the setting under (A) to external links (default) 
'''3 = open external links in a new tab in the last active window''' 
2 = open external links in a new window 
1 = open external links in the last active tab replacing the current page
Does that work?

Can't open nautilus from applications menu

I find that I can't open nautilus from applications menu any more.
In the terminal, it won't open nautilus when running 'nautilus' without specifying a location or --new-window option.
I've checked and tried to modify /usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop and /usr/share/applications/nautilus-classic.desktop, but it didn't work.
The values of Exec option in the two files are as follows:
/usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop: Exec=nautilus --new-window %U
/usr/share/applications/nautilus-classic.desktop: Exec=nautilus --no-default-window --force-desktop
Also, I have tried to reinstall nautilus. I didn't work, either.
Any one can help?

Are you using gnome classic session? Or have you enabled desktop icons?
Sounds like the nautilus-classic.desktop could be getting launched during gnome-session startup, which should happen in both of the cases above.
According to my testing, starting nautilus with 'nautilus --no-default-window --force-desktop' causes the exact behavior you're describing.
I'm using standard gnome without desktop icons, and I don't have any issues with nautilus, so disabling them would probably help, although that could be a drag if you really want desktop icons.
I still don't understand why the org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop wouldn't work though, since it has the --new-window flag. Apparently you can't even launch a new window via the right click menu item.
This could happen if gnome-shell recognizes the nautilus-classic.desktop as nautilus, and starts using it's .desktop file instead when you try to launch a new window.
If so you could probably fix this from the .desktop file somehow. I might be able to look into it later..
I'm also using standard gnome, and I have enabled desktop icons.
Disabling desktop icons makes it work.
Thanks!
I once tried to modify nautilus-classic.desktop to Exec=natilus --new-window, but it didn't help.
