Open links in new tab not window

Hi I just started using safari and like it so far, the only problem i have is when i click a link it opens in a new window not a new tab. I know you can right click and select open in new tab but is there a way to default when i click it opens in new tab?

Sorry, that can't be done. But if you buy a Mac, it can be done, so that's an incentive.

  • Open links in new tab not new window.

    Is there a setting allowing me to open a link to another website from safari to automatically open in a new tab without me having to command click the link. I want all links to open in a new tab not a new window.

    Sorry, that's not possible. Links controlled by JavaScript will open in whatever fashion they were designed to, regardless of what the user chooses. The best you can do for targeted links is this to copy and paste this command into Terminal and press Return:
    defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true
    Thereafter, any link that has a specific target and is not controlled by JavaScript will open in a new tab. To check whether or not any link is targeted for a tab or window, enable the Show Status Bar from the View menu of Safari and hover over the link before you click on it.

  • Right click "Open Link in New Tab" not working?

    When at any website I try to right click on a link and then choose "open link in new tab" and nothing happens. "open link in new window" also does nothing. When first open up Firefox and right click on a link a really long list of options appears as well which did not appear yesterday. I think Firefox updated and restarted my computer last night as well. I tried Firefox safe mode and it still happened.

    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    *In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    *In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

  • Firefox 22 /Open link in new tab not working

    Just loaded FF22. Sometimes I have a slow connection speed and I need FF to open links in a new tab, so pages do not have to reload.
    On the earlier version.
    Say I went to www.google.com and clicked on search link, It would open in a new tab (without right clicking link, and specifying to "Open link in new tab" It would do this on all links automaticly.
    Am I missing something here. Do I need to go into about.config to set this. Or go back to an earlier version of FF.

    Here's my solution to the problem of making links always open in a new tab. This only applies to Mac OSX tho.
    Get [http://blog.boastr.net/downloads-secondbar-bettertouchtool-2/ Better Touch Tool]. (This program creates keyboard and mouse/trackpad gesture shortcuts and it's free/donation BTW)
    I set up several shortcuts in Better Touch Tool, but the relevant one here would be "Middleclick" which by default opens a link into a new tab. The gesture I set to do this happens to be three finger tap.
    These are my configured gestures/shortcuts:
    four finger swipe down -> sleep display
    three finger tap -> middleclick
    three finger double tap -> command-h (minimizes all open windows in the current program)
    four finger double tap -> Application Switcher
    I also enabled Windows Snapping (which mimics Windows windows snapping) and Windows Moving/Resizing (which the way I have configured it means, if I mouse over a window, then hold the Shift and fn buttons, the window will move around without having to hold the mouse/trackpad button, and if I hold just the fn key, the window will resize).

  • Right-clicking Open Link in New Tab or Window doesn't work

    After upgrading to the latest version, 30.0, the right-click functions to Open link in New Tab or New Window stopped working. When I click the link that I would like to open in new tab or window, the right click window appears, I click on the desired function, and the right click window closes and nothing happens.
    I restarted in safe mode and the problem remains. I am using Windows XP. I also tried uninstalling Firefox and then doing a clean re-install and that didn't help.
    For now I went back to using version 29.0.1. Yes, I know that it isn't as safe but I can't use Version 30. without the right-click options!!!
    I really wish the developers would focus on fixing bugs, vulnerabilities, etc. and leave the basic functions alone! The old saying if it isn't broken don't "fix" it!!!!!

    This didn't fix the problem so I have decided to revert to the previous version: 24.6.0 esr. Maybe when version 31 or 32 come around I come back to the "latest" version?

  • 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
    _David

    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.
    If you are not familiar with the Visio Services JavaScript Object Model, I suggest that you check out the following resources:

  • When I open a link a new window opens with the toolbar and sidebar missing, on my previous machine the link simply opened in a new tab (not window).

    When I open a link in Firefox instead of opening a new tab it opens in a new window with all of the toolbars missing including the sidebar, right clicking anywhere gives me no options to restore the toolbars. My old machine simply opened the same link that I am trying in a new tab with all my toolbars available.

  • "Open link in new tab" not working with Safari and new Yahoo Mail won't open in new tabs.  Yahoo says it is a Safari issue.  I don't think so.

    Any ideas? 
    Works fine in classic Yahoo mail.  But in the "new" Yahoo mail, there is not even an option to open in new tab when I right click the message to be opened.  Interestingly enough, I can right click open to new tab on any other link on the same page that the emails are listed in.
    Anyone encounter this?  Have a solution?
    Thanks.

    From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.
    If that didn't help, try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
    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. Try Yahoo / tabs. If it functions as it should, move the .plist file to the Trash. Otherwise move it back to the Preferences folder.
    And check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. If you have any installed, turn that off, quit then relaunch Safari. Try again.

  • Safari will freezes opening links in new tabs or windows

    I've noticed that Safari will briefly freeze when opening a link in either a new tab or a new window or when a page is set to automaticly reload after a set time while there are other tabs or windows opened. It does this on all web sites.
    I took a look at everything I could think of, including permissions, used DiskWarrior & Drive Genius to repair,defrag and rebuild directories on my drive, and used Cocktail to clean out all caches nightly. I also have no add-ons installed other than the Flash Player 9 Beta 3 plug-in (but I was having this problem before installing the player). I haven't touched Fontbook (I use Suitcase Fusion). I also know it's not an internet connection speed issue since I have a 15mbps fiber connection coming into my home. I also tested out using Firefox and did not have the problem there.
    Anybody have any other ideas?

  • Safari in Windows 7 open links in new tab same window...

    I have searched and seen similar topics, but no one answers. On my mac there is a terminal command that does this, but I use win 7 @ work and was hoping there was a way to accomplish the same thing. I want links to open in new tabs (just like clicking on ctrl + click does) I just don't want to have to press ctrl each time. Is there a preference file that can be modified? Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    I'm afraid I'm not going to be of much help here, Chris.
    I'm not sure if this sort of function is handled by plists or registry settings, or by other components in the preferences/settings machinery.
    The locations of the various preference files and folders on Safari on Windows Seven that I'm aware of are:
    C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Preferences\com.apple.Safari
    C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Safari
    C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\Safari
    If you're good with plist editing, you might be able to find a relevant setting in one of the plists in those locations (although on a Windows machine, not all of the preferences/settings componentry are handled by plists ... there's some database-driven functions too).
    Safari keys are sprayed through the registry. But you might want to start looking in HKEYCURRENTUSER (at a guess) for local-preference-related keys.

  • Right click, open Link in New Tab stopped working

  • 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?

  • How can I make "Open Link in New Tab" open the new tab in the same window, not a different window?

    When I Ctrl-click a link and choose "Open Link in New Tab" it chooses to open the new tab in a different window (one that's already open) rather than opening the new tab in the same window. Even though the other window is minimized, it automatically gets restored and placed on top of the window I was in. This interferes with my context, forcing me to minimize the window again to get back to the one I was in before. I want the new tab to open in the same window, so I can still see the tab I was in. Some links seem to have the "Open Link in New Tab" behavior automatically, so I never know when I'm going to get thrown out of my current window. Very annoying.

    If you have a mouse with a scroll button then try to middle click the link to open the link in a new tab.
    It is also possible that the links use onclick JavaScript instead of a href to specify the action.
