Open Tab in New Link iPad iOS 7.0.4 Safari

I've read the threads regarding opening a link in a new tab in Safari, but they all seem to pertain to Mac use. I have a brand new iPad Air updated to iOS 7.0.4. Under settings > Safari there is no option for "preferences" as referred to in every thread I've read. There is a slide button for "open new tabs in background," which I have set to on, but no way to change the behavior of selecting links.
I read something about selecting a link while pressing the home button, but that opens a link in a new window. I've tried to long hold a link hoping a context menu would appear, but no.
I would like to use as many stock apps as possible in order to conserve storage, but not being able to easily open a link in a new tab is a deal-breaker. I know that Chrome, Terra, and others are options for this, but surely Apple thought to include this commonplace feature when they finally introduced tabs to Safari.

I suppose I should have been more persistant in practicing my touch. A long touch does indeed open a context menu with several options, including "open link in new tab."

  • When opening a link in a new tab and then clicking to go work in an existing open tab, the new link just loads up my homepage instead of the intended link.

    This has happened several times now - first in FF 7.0, now 8.0. It's as if Firefox is concentrating on the existing tab, drops the info it's loading and just loads the homepage.

    This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    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).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    G'day again, I've also lost the option of a 'Stop loading' or 'Refresh' button.

  • Firefox 12 won't open tabs; just new windows. What's up?

    I just updated to the latest version FF 12. After the update I can't open tabs anymore. There isn't even a button to open a new tab. The "Open link in New Tab ..." command opens the link in a new window instead.
    It doesn't seem like a configuration problem. I was just wondering if a patch or fix update will be coming out soon?
    In the meantime I have to use Chrome as a backup, and it's kind of a drag. :(

    Sorry, that's the first thing I tried. I checked all the options in the tools panel that could have an effect on tabs. Nothing fixed it.
    It's a bug in the new update. They did something or forget to put something back in the latest build that was there before.
    Tabs are broken.
    Could someone post a download link to version 11. I'd like to uninstall and revert to the previous version. Because this one isn't ready yet.

  • Web search stays on single tab will not open new tab when new link is open

    Up until yesterday when I did a web base search and clicked on a new site there was a new tab open to show the site. Now all the sites open in the same tab. How do i correct this problem?

    Hi, I'm not sure about other search engines but if you're using Google: First do a search, then on the results page, top right-hand corner > Options (cog wheel) > Search settings > 'Where results open,' and tick/check 'Open each selected result in a new browser window.' That should now open results in a new tab.
    Other options: You can click the mouse wheel, or hold down Ctrl when you click, or right click > Open Link In New Tab.
    Hope that answers your question.

  • PAGES 09 CAN'T OPEN FILE FROM PAGES APP IPAD IOS 1.7

    Hi,
    This morning I was trying to open a file from the iCloud window of my Pages 0.9 - 4.2  on my iMac (Os 10.8.3) when I did so the window told me that I needed a new version of Pages and it sent my to the appstore, pointing to Pages 09 4.3.
    I was shocked...another 17 euro to buy the some software I already have!!! Anyway...I was in a rush so I had to buy it...I tried to do so but the AppStore didn't want to sell it to me! It said: "This app is already istalled on your Mac, check for updates". Of course there were no updates to be downloaded...so I'm here asking for you help!
    Thank you!
    PS: the file I was trying to open had been created a few hours erlier on my iPad (updated to the latest IOS, 1.7)

    Go to this page http://www.apple.com/support/pages/ and look at the right side. There are links to iWork 9.3. Doenload it and update. Hopefully it will work.

  • Firefox opening tabs in new window

    Whenever I "open in new tab" Firefox will open said tab in a new window instead of the current one. If I repeat this four times with the same link in one window, I will have four tabs in one new, separate window. I'd rather have those four tabs in the original window.
    I do have the "open new windows in a new tab instead" option selected.
    Probably just a setting I have flipped to the wrong position, but any help would be appreciated.

    This could be due to the way Firefox 4 handles windows popped up by a script in a web page. In some cases, Firefox judges the window to be a "dialog" and diverts all new tabs to a different window.
    When you encounter this can you do the following test: Copy the URL of the "problem" window, open a new normal window (e.g., Ctrl+n), paste the URL into the location bar, and press Enter. Then try right-click > Open Link in New Tab in that window. Does it work normally there?
    If so, it's the dialog problem. This thread has more information: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/813647 How to allow tabs in dialog boxes again? | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help].
    If not, it must be something else.

  • Middle mouse button does not open tab with new url

    Suddenly, Firefox (3.6.10 on Kubuntu) changed the behavior of the middle mouse button.
    Before, pressing the middle mouse button on the regular window (not tab bar or tool bar or such) and not on a link caused Firefox to open a new tab and to attempt to load the content of the buffer as URL.
    Now, Firefox shows a weird circle with arrows and my page scrolls vertically in a weird way.
    How to get back the original behavior?
    I tried to find a solution on the web. Despite the many suggestions, the problem prevailed. For example, browser.tabs.opentabfor.middleclick and middlemouse.contentLoadURL are both true

    Very glad to see I am not alone. Alas....that answer did nothing on my system. I also am very very frustrated that, all of a sudden, my middle mouse button brings up a weird four pointed arrow! (see pic) I NEED it to open links in tabs for researching!!
    I turned off auto scrolling in the advanced settings. Restarted FF even...and nada.
    I have disabled every single add on I had (only like 6 of them)...and nothing.
    This happened all the sudden...I dont even know of an update. FF v3.6.10

  • Downloaded the latest revision and now cannot open tabs for new searches or change the main tab from my home page. What did you do to my old Mozilla?

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
    '''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
    *Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

  • Magic Trackpad issues with opening tabs into new windows.

    I used to be able to double tap and drag a tab out of the row of tabs in Chrome and put it into it's own windows. Now the double tap and drag doesn't work.  I have to depress the trackpad with my thumb while tapping on the tab and then drag it into a new window.  Tried unchecking and rechecking all the boxes in Trackpad preferences, but that didn't work.  Anybody have any other thoughts?  Could upgrade to 10.8.4 have done this or something? (Running Mountain Lion on iMac mid 2010).

    I think I just found the answer although how that changed I have no idea. Under System Preferences/Accessability/Trackpad Options, I had to enable dragging.  Hope that helps someone if it ever happens to them.

  • How to add/delete items in right click context menu when opening a new link FF17 osx... 6 instances of open link in new identity profile have appeared

    The menu items appeared without any idea why, they had not been there before. I have macbook with os 10.6.8 I had been trying to get pdf to work in firefox, so had followed a recipe suggesting enabling the pdf reader part of firefox. Required making 2 adjustments to the about:config. One disabling the browser.preferences.incontent and would changing default of pdfjs. Pdf still won't display, but don't know if what I did is related. Now I am trying to just find out how the menu gets modified at all, and whether I can do so as a user.

    A little research revealed addons can add items to context menu, in this case multifox adds option to open tab in new profile for multiple gmail etc logins. I had updated addons earlier, think that triggered it. So now I know why and what it does. The problem is why 6 times listed (instead of just one)... it also varies, sometimes the context menu will have one instance... and have seen as many as 9. Not sure why it varies, but would still also like to know how to modify context menu. Could just be a bug in multifox with FF17 I suppose. I will disable multifox and see if problem goes away.

  • Tabs for new windows no longer accumulate; only current tab shows. How do I get new sites on tabs?

    Previously, tabs for new links showed at top of address bar and accumulated as I surfed. Now, only current site/window shows an accompanying tab. What happened to the tabbing process? Can't find an answer in Firefox Help. I have Windows 7. Thanks. Kusgol

    I use that add-on. Works great.
