Open new site in same tab?

Every time I open a website it opens in a new tab! How do you open websites without adding new tabs?

You can look at these prefs on the about:config page.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow (1)
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction (0)
Some extensions that you can look at:
* Tabberwocky: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/14439
* Tab Utilities: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/59961
* Tab Mix Plus : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/1122

Link to open up in the same tab

Hello all, and Merry Christmas!
OK so I have a Flash file in my website that contains a link to another page on the site. However at the moment when I click it, the new link opens up in a new tab, rather than the same tab which I would like to happen.
I have made a "test" page with just the Flash file I'm referring to so you can view the code here:
http://amycarrier.co.uk/OtherPages/Test.html
As you can see, it is the "enter" button that opens up a new link in a new tab. Are there any alterations I could make to the code and/or any new parameters I could put in place so that the link opens up in the same tab?
Many thanks!

Always enjoyed being able to open new windows in a tab. However, after upgrading found I was no longer able to do this.

Have search all over web and tried every solution I could find; explored addons, restored, even reinstalled 19.0 but I am still unable!
It is very frustrating.
Would appreciate suggestions (never thought I'd say this but Safari is looking good!).
Thank you.

Let me see if I understand the original problem. You can checked the preference on the following tab to divert new windows to tabs instead:
Firefox menu > Preferences > Tabs
And that was not working correctly, either on all sites or a few particular sites.
Note that by default, sites that open a new window with particular specifications, such as the size, bypass that setting. To force even those windows into a new tab, you can use the about:config preference editor.
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''' (<u>default</u>) (checked*)<br>
2 = allow link to open a new window (unchecked*)<br>
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)<br>
2 = apply the setting under (A) to normal windows, but NOT to script windows with features (<u>default</u>)<br>
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 (<u>default</u>)<br>
'''3 = open external links in a new tab in the last active window'''<br>
2 = open external links in a new window<br>
1 = open external links in the last active tab replacing the current page
Sorry, that's a lot of data, but hopefully it's reasonably clear.

IE 11 open new tab opens new window, clicking open new tab opens black page in same tab

Hi I have a problem with IE11 on Windows 8.1 Desktop mode which is driving me crazy.
When i click on the open new tab button it will open in the same tab in the same window and you cant go to any website and the website on where on's address is still in the address bar.
Right click a link and select open new tab most of the time opens new window with long pause.
I have tried everything to fix this even re installing windows, but the problem persists after re install as i think its attaching itself to my Microsoft account.
I have disabled all add-ons run virus and walware scans reset IE to defaults removed and re-installed IE all to no avail!
Any help would be much appreciated.

Open preview page in same tab

Hello,
when i check my coding with 'view preview in Firefox' , a new tab is opening. How i can make Firefox and other browsers open same tab all the time.

Save your page in DW (Ctrl+S).
Switch to your open browser window and hit Refresh (F5) or (Ctrl+R).

Key shortcut to force opening link in the same tab?

Is there any specific key shortcut to open any link in the same tab (even if the website specifies it should be opened in a new tab/window)? Like Ctrl+Mouse click forces every link to be opened in a new tab and Shift+Mouse click - new window.
I have already seen this question: https://support.mozilla.org/pl/questions/970999 but I'd like to be able to choose manually every time whether I want to open the link in the same tab or not.

HI the.real.nps,
Thank you for your question. I understand that you would like the option to choose whether or not to open a url in a new tab or the same tab each time a link is clicked.
Currently this can be done by right clicking on a link. Each of these options are provided.

How to force to open link in the same tab ?

Hi Guys,
I am sure this question has been asked many times, but I wasn't successful finding an answer...
In Safari, how do I force to open a link in the same tab (not open in a new tab in same window!)
There must be a way to do it...
Thanks for answering (again).
Ray

Hi Ray
I'm still on Tiger, not Leopard.... but I guess you mean how to stop a link that opens a new window from doing so? Like This one ?
In Tiger, the only way I know other than some 3rd party add-on is to drag the link to the address bar.... although that assumes you know it tries to open a new window by checking the status bar.

Open links in the same tab?

Whenever I browse on Firefox and click on a link it opens in a new tab, I want it to open in the same tab. Is that possible? Because every time I open up a link, then my tabs gets longer, like ten in one window.

You can set the browser.link.open_newwindow to 1 on the <b>about:config</b> page
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow (default: 3)
*1: current tab; 2:new window; 3:new tab;
This pref set the behavior for JavaScript links:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction (default: 2)
*0:all; 1:none; 2:only special windows

Opening new site in dreamweaver

I am trying to open a new site in dw but I already have an icon/folder for "desktop" under "Files". How can I delte it and only keep the new site folder? Thanks a lot.

Huh?
Are you trying to DEFINE a new site in DW? All you need to do is to create a folder on your hard drive, and browse to and select that folder while in the Site manager's New Site dialog.
Or are you puzzling over the fact that your site list dropdown contains icons for your desktop, local disk(s) and mapped drives? Just ignore them at this moment, and follow the suggestion above.

Want Firefox to open new links in current tab, not to open in new tab.

With one of the new updates, Firefox opens a new tab when going to a new link, rather than opening link in the current tab, the way it did in earlier versions. I know I can choose open new tab or open new window in Preferences, but I want to just open the linnk in the current tab. Now, in a very short amount of time, my tab bar is filled with a glut of tabs. I prefer to use back page or forward page to retrace my steps, and to open up a new tab just when I want to open a new tab. This new default for tabbing contradicts the concept of making tabbing for your own organizational behavior.

Click the orange Firefox button, and click "Options". This will bring up a new window with a "Tabs" tab at the top. Click that. There will be several checked boxes, including one called "Open new windows in a new tab instead" up at the top of the list. Uncheck that box and you should be good to go.
ETA: This should also work if you click "Tools" and "Options" within your version.

How do I remove old web site when publishing new site with same URL in iweb? Hit replace when publishing new iweb site (so we could have control over changes) but new site name is attached to old via a / after our www address we want to keep.

I hit the replace when publishing the new iweb site (so we could have control over changes - last one was not an apple based site) but new site name is attached to old via a forward slash and underscore after our www address. Makes it very messy with a very long web address. Original address now followed by iweb site name followed by name of first page? Went for iweb as not that computer literate - all going so well?! Cheers for help in anticipation. Have to get off to work now but be great end to week if we could be sorted tonight. Rupes

Well yes of course, if you try and publish through iWeb there won't be an option to publish without your site folder which is exactly why I told you to download Cyberduck and use Cyberduck to upload your site to your server having published your site from iWeb to a local folder. That is what you need to do if you don't want your site name to be included in yoru url.
It would have been easier also if you had used Cyberduck initially to connect to your server and delete your old site yourself - at least that way you would have deleted the correct files rather than relying on your hosting service to do it and doing it incorrectly.
Download Cyberduck and then select the publish to a local folder option from iWeb and then use Cyberduck to upload your site to your server, but rather than uploading the whole site folder and separate index file, upload ONLY the contents of your site folder and then your url will be http://www.domain.com/page_name.html.
It really isn't rocket science!

Dreamweaver Slow To Open New Site

Hi Guys
I have recently installed DW CS3 and everything appears to
work fine except for when I either create a New Site or try to
Manage a Site. When I choose these options it takes over 30 seconds
to bring up the New Site or Manage Site Box.
I checked DW 8 that I still had on my system and that too had
slowed drastically on the Create New Site command. I uninstalled DW
8 in case that was causing the slowdown but made no difference.
I have trashed the Configuration folder in the My
Docs/Dreamweaver 9 folder location but that made no difference.
Has anyone got any idea what could be causing this?
Thanks
David Roberts

I did try the safe mode and didn't work. I did make iexplorer my default and then back again to foxfire and it somewhat worked. It was work not bad (but not as good as before) until I rebooted and it seemed the more I used it the better it became. Go figure :)
Well I just did another firefox update to 4 and it works perfect and maybe even better than before. (or I got use to how slow it was :) )
Thank You for you quick reply and I'm very happy for the new update... So far so good.

FF7 will not open new tab with new window. overwrites same tab. If I manually open a new tab, then the new window appears there. In previous versions, the new window would automatically open a new tab. This tab 'overwriting' ia very annoying.

You won't let me! The 'red' prompt says I have use more than 255 characters.

By accident, after nearly an hour of playing with FF7, I discovered that by pushing down (like a button) on the scroll wheel or holding down CTRL key will open a new tab to the right of existing tabs when selecting a bookmarked site or link within a webpage.

Why does Firefox 5 open links in a new tab or new window rather than within the same tab? Previous versions opened links in the same tab allowing use of the "back" button on the mouse. Having to close so many tabs and windows is really irritating.

Vista Ultimate SP2

The problem is just with the name of the tab, not with the contents of the page -- the page looks normal??
I ask about the page because Firefox 23 seems to have introduced a problem with Firefox's "fast back-forward cache" on the Google search results page. It is related to the "instant prediction results" feature interacting with Firefox is some different way. (More in this thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/970863?page=2#answer-485663])
Might be related. Not sure.
