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.

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

How can I start firefox with new tab instead of blank page?

Today I update firefox to 13.0. I like the new "new type". I want to konw how can I start firefox with new tab instead of blank page?
I don't want to change the homepage to about:newtab.
Sorry for my bad English.

This is a very annoying thing. Every update from Firefox resets this config setting back to about:newtab. I changed '''''browser.newtab.url''''' in 12.x to '''''about:blank''''' and it resetted back in update 13.0 and now I have to do the same thing again in 13.0.1.
The drawback with about:newtab is Firefox opens up dataports for every URL that are linked and gets reopened for every lame 'newtab' you click on. Just use [http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897437.aspx Tcpview - data port viewer] and watch how many extra dataports that opens up from this crazy 'feature'.

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.

I get an error message when I try to open a YouTube video link from a news website

Huffington Post has links to You Tube videos. I always get the error message "An error occurred, please try again later" if I attempt to open the link. I haven't tried from any other site.

I've had this problem for ages, and I finally solved it with the help of:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox#Copy_data_to_the_new_profile.
This solution will reset your settings to which sites you allow or deny to set cookies, display images, open popup windows and initiate extensions installation.
1. Close Firefox
2. Start >> Run >> '''firefox.exe -p'''
3. Create Profile >> Next >> Finish >> Start Firefox
4. Close Firefox
5. Go to C:\Documents and Settings\''[Your User]''\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
6. Copy the file '''permissions.sqlite''' from the new profile folder to the original profile folder
7. Start Firefox

Opens new tab instead of changing page within a frame.

V 22: When I open site with frame header & left navigation home page is fine. When I click to navigate to different page, frame header & navigation buttons are gone. Only content of new page is displayed. Site is control page for access point on network. IE and Chrome work just fine.
This is new behavior. Started after update to Release 22.0

Hi,
I have the same problem. After checking settings and add-ons, I discovered that the add-on for Dragon Naturally Speaking seemed to be causing the problem. Probably a feature of DNS. When I disabled the DNS add-on, Firefox behaved correctly.

Cant Get Links To Open In New Tab Instead Of New Window !!!!

Alright I must be missing something. I have done the following:
Safari -->
Preferences -->
GENERAL
Open Links From Applications --> In New Tab (Selected)
TABS
All Boxes Are Checked
Everytime I click on a link online the page opens in a new window. How can I get the links to open as a new tab within the window?
Thank You

I was thinking of switching over from Firefox myself but this minor annoyance is something I never had to deal with on FF and it may be enough to make me switch back. I'm a regular digg user and whenever I click on a story it opens up in a new window which is off-centre and not maximized and no matter how many times I fix it the next time I open a link its like that again. These are pretty basic functions of a browser so if Safari can't even handle these properly then there's no future in it for me. Also can't add different search engines to the built in search bar, lame.

Issue with opening PDF file link from Safari

Hi Everyone,
I got a problem with opening PDF file link from Safari 4.04. Instead of getting a normal pdf content, it shows some weird characters. Not sure it is something wrong with Adobe Reader Plugin or Safari?
I have uploaded a screenshot of the issue in the adobe forum (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/531870). Please help!
Many Thanks,
John

There's nothing wrong, except the fact that you have Adobe Reader installed. You don't need it, so get rid of it; it will only cause problems with Safari. What you're seeing is the contents of the PDF file, rather than having it displayed.
If you want to download a PDF file, you can either Control-click on the link and choose "Download Linked File As…", or you can Option-click on the link for the file and it will be downloaded to your Download folder (usually your Desktop).
If you want to view a PDF file in Safari, you don't need Adobe Reader; Safari is perfectly capable of doing this by itself and has been for years. Adobe Reader will only get in the way and slow everything down.

How do I Safari to open a new file in a new tab instead of a new window?

I've been experimenting with Safari recently. One of my primary uses of a browser is to run an application -- yes, run an application -- known as TiddlyWiki. TiddlyWiki is described as "a reusable non-linear personal web notebook," but it is actually much more. Being a non-techie user it's hard for me to describe what it is, and I couldn't begin to describe the many different ways people have put it to use.
If you're not familiar with it and are curious, this is the place to start:
http://www.tiddlywiki.com/ You can learn more about it here: http://tiddlywiki.org/wiki/Main_Page And though it's a bit dated now, you can see examples of some of the things people have done with it here: http://giffmex.tiddlyspot.com/
All that by way of an unfortunately but necessarily complicated lead-in to my question. I usually have several TiddlyWikis running in my browser at once. With Firefox all were accessible by tabs from within a single window. Unfortunately, it appears Safari won't let me do this. It opens each new instance in a separate window, so that all the others are hidden behind the one in the current window. Not very convenient.
So, my simple question: If you have the faintest idea what I'm talking about, is there any way I can force Safari to open each instance of TiddlyWiki under a new tab in the same window?
I appreciate Safari's speed, and the relative cleanliness of its interface. However, and perhaps this is just being stuck in my ways from Firefox, I really don't like the way it handles tabs. I'd like to have the open of telling it to open each new link, application, whatever, in a new tab in the same window.
I have a suspicion I'm not going to get what I want, but I thought I would give it a try and see. Thanks for putting up with my long-winded vaguery, and if you should have any suggestions, thanks for them, too.
Sincerely,
Eric Weir

I misunderstood. You want Safari to open files on your hard drive in tabs in your already open Safari window.
For simplicity, let's assume all the local files are located on your Desktop, and that your home folder is named Eric. Let's assume one of the local files is called foo.html.
Then you should be able to type in the URL
file:///Users/Eric/Desktop/foo.html
and the file should load. Click the + sign and add that URL as a bookmark on your Bookmarks Bar. Then you should be able to command-click that bookmark to open the file in a new tab instead of a new window. You could then do the same for all the local files, and then put all the bookmarks in a folder on your Bookmarks Bar.
Neat. It never would've occurred to me. I'll check it out.

P.S. Again, the thread got designated as "solved" before I had a chance to give you credit for being helpful, which I had intended to do.

Firefox opens Google link in the same tab (the way I like it), but I can't figure how to keep that and still have YouTube windows pop-up in a new tab. Help?

Hello, here is my problem: reading your mozilla support, I learned how to make Firefox open links in Google results in the same tab, that's the way I like it, but I still like to have my YouTube windows pop-up in a new tab (I participate in one forum, when I come to the YouTube window in some topic, I usually click on a small right-down button "watch on YouTube", and that always opens video it in a new tab; all until latest few updates of Firefox). Can this issue be corrected in about:config feature, and how? Sorry if my English isn't so glorious.
Thanks a lot for answering, and best regards...

Hello. I have just tried this add-on you suggested, and no change.
And no, there was no some other add-on before, not that I know about it. Mainly, I need this option while I'm on a forum (IP board powered), it is not really something so important, but it's neat function for me.
So, to be more detailed - I read a certain topic on this forum, and some of the posts from other members contain YouTube screens (looking same as on the original YouTube page), showing the frame of a video.
In earlier versions of Firefox, I used to click on a small YouTube logo button (right side, down, between "watch on full screen" and "watch later" buttons). Clicking on this button automatically opened new tab, leaving forum tab as it is, and in new tab original YouTube page, with that certain video. In the same time, in Google search page, when clicking on a link, all links were opening in the same tab.
Now, after some of the latest updates of Firefox, I noticed that some default settings were changed - in Google search, clicking on a link always opens a link in a new tab. I have found out here on your forum how to set this back in about:config feature, and now I have again that links in a Google results page are opened in the same tab (that's the way I like it).
But YouTube screens on this forum are now also being opened in the same tab, and that is what I don't like, and trying to change back.
So, what I need: all links to open in the same tab after clicking, as I have it now, and YouTube screens (e. g. on this forum) to be opened in a new tab (by clicking on a small YouTube logo ("watch this video on YouTube").
Pedantic I am, I know that, and I know that this may look silly to some people, but if there is a way to do something, please tell me.
Thanks for answering, and best regards.
P.S.
Is it possible that forum updates changed my setting, and not the Firefox? Thanks again...

How stop FF31 from opening new window? I want to open all links in new tab at top of page.

I think the following, quote below, from the help page is my problem.
I have this one website I use that when I click on a link within the website it is opening a new window with the tab at the bottom. Also, when this happens, I am losing the orange FireFox rectangle, bookmarks and navigation options. How can I set FF31 so that the link opens in a new tab and I keep all my options? I am using Classic Theme Restorer 1.2.3. I also notice that in the new window I lose the ability to use some of the addons.
I have two laptops and both are running FF31 and W7. One of them is working perfectly and the other is having this problem. As far as I can tell they are both set up the same. The only difference is that when I upgraded to FF31 they both had difference older versions of FireFox. I also read in the help forum that maybe I need to go back to FireFox 28 to accomplish what I am trying to accomplish.
I noticed that when I go under about:config that the version of FF that is not working has fewer available options versus the version that is working. An example would be that the working version has "browser.tabs.onTop" where on the other laptop this is missing.
>>>Open new windows in a new tab instead: This option controls whether links from other applications or from web pages which request to open them in new windows are opened in a new window or a new tab in the most recent window.
Note: If you have chosen to open pages in new tabs, Firefox will ignore this option and will open a new window from a link if the page author specified that the new window should have a specific size, because some pages can only be displayed correctly at a specific size.<<<
Thank you in advance for any help,
yeto

You can override how links are opened via the browser.link.open_newwindow.override pref.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow
*1: current tab; 2:new window; 3:new tab;
Use this for links opened via JavaScript.

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.

When I right click and select open link in new tab, it leaves the page I am on and takes me to the first tab to the right

I usually have many tabs open when I read the news, and it is nice to select open links in new tabs while scrolling through a news' home page. Lately, however, Mozilla has been opening the new tab, but switches the page I am viewing to the first tab to the right of the home page. For example, I had ESPN.com open, and then a few Facebook tabs after that to the right. Whenever I would select open link in new tab, the tab I was viewing would switch from ESPN.com to the first Facebook tab to the right, and the new tab would open a little further down the line. Any chance anyone knows how to fix this?

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.

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?

Links open in a new browser instead of a new tab. I do have "open new windows in a new tab instead" ticked

I have tried unticking it and then re-ticking it but neither make any difference.
Hope you can help!
