Opening a new browser brings up all minimized browsers

Every time I open a new Firefox window all my previously opened and minimized browser windows pops up.
This is pretty embarassing

This issue can be caused by an extension (Ask.com toolbar) 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 > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Why do ALL browser windows open when I open a new browser window

I don't know if this is a feature, but I find it ANNOYING. Say I have 2 browser windows minimized. I decide to open another window. Why do ALL minimized browser windows and how can I stop it.

Found solution. Had to disable Ask.com toolbar.
<<< The Solution
The ASK.com Toolbar can cause other windows to get maximized.

How to open a new browser window without toolbar, location, and menu bars from AIR?

I have the following problem in my Flex+AIR application. I need to embed an ActiveX component that has JavaScript API inside my application. I tried to embed it inside <mx:HTML> component but unfortunately, AIR doesnot support plug-ins or ActiveX controls. So I've decided to open it in a new browser window. I tried navigateToURL(...) method but it has two problems - it is opening a new tab in the existing browser window and there is no way for me to configure the new browser window appearance, like removing toolbar, menu bar, location bar, etc. Then I tried to open a new window from JavaScript running inside <mx:HTML> component using window.open(...) API but it doesn't open a new window at all.
Is there any way for me to open a new browser window without toolbar, location bar, etc. (which will run ActiveX control, so it cannot be AIR window) from inside AIR?
Best regards,
Arkady.

The best audience for applets is people off the internet. 'People off the internet' might be using a computer that has no (what was it?) 'open.html' in the root of the C: drive. In fact (shock horror) they may not even be running Windows, and would therefore probably have no 'C:' drive at all.
If you do not intend to distribute this to people off the web, an application makes a lot more sense, but even then, you cannot rely on the document being there unless you 'put it there' (during installation, for instance).
As the other poster intimated, applets can load documents off the local disk as long as they are trusted. Here is an example*, but note that it is not so rash as to presume any particular path or file, and instead leaves it to the user to choose the document to display.
* The short code can be seen at SDNShare on the [Defensive Loading of Trusted Applets|http://sdnshare.sun.com/view.jsp?id=2315] post.
On the other hand, a sandboxed applet can load any document coming from its own server via URL, or get showDocument(URL) to work. In that case, the JRE must recognize that the URL is from its own server, so the best way to form URLs for applet use is via the URL constructor
new URL(getDocumentBase(), "path/to/open.html");That is how I form the URL in this [ sandboxed example of formatting source|http://pscode.org/fmt/sbx.html?url=/jh%2FHelpSetter.java&col=2&fnt=2&tab=2&ln=0]. Of course, in this case the applet loads the document, then parses the text to draw the formatted version, but the point is that an URL produced this way will work with showDocument(URL).
I am pretty sure showDocument() in an applet off the internet will work with an URL pointing to a foreign (not its own) server, but it will not be able to load documents off the end user's local disks.
I suggest a couple of things.
- Try to express this problem in terms of what feature it is that you want to offer the end user. Your question jumps directly to a bad strategy for achieving ..who knows what? An example of a feature is "Shows the applet 'help' files on pressing F1".
- A good way to indicate interest in a solution is to offer [Duke stars|http://wikis.sun.com/display/SunForums/Duke+Stars+Program+Overview] to match that interest.
Edit 1:
..and please figure out how to use the CODE tags.

JavaScript for opening a new browser window.

Hi all,
Let me start by saying that I'm not JavaScript savvy at all.
I have two buttons on a slide and I want each to open a new browser window.
I Googled for a script and found this:
window.open ('URL')
I tried in my project and it worked fine but the browser window that my project was running in also changed.
I've attached a .gif image of what happens to my project window when either of the two buttons is clicked.
Can anyone help??

Unable to Open a New Browser Window

I have a couple users who are having trouble logging in to Discoverer on new PCs. They are using Internet Explorerer 8. They are able to get to the login screen, but when the hit connect (or Go) they get an error: "Unable to open a new browser window. Ensure that you do not have popup windows disabled for this site."
Obviously the first thing I had them do was turn off the popup blocker all together. But they still get the error (even after they restart their PC). Other than that, is there something I am missing in how they need to configure IE8? I'm personally used to using IE6 at work and don't know much about configuration setting for IE8.
Thanks!

Hi,
Exactly not sure,see if there are any pop-up blockers still exists,if so try turning pop-up on and off and check it.One more thing what java plug in are you using?? May be it perisists due to java also.
Best Wishes,
Kranthi.

How do I set the desired search enging when I open a new browsing window?

When I open a new browser window, I used to get the Bing search engine option but now only the Yahoo search engin is shown. How do I reset the system to show Bing when opening a new browser window? thanks.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you've got a custom timecode field somewhere in your production and/or asset metadata group(s), right? And I'm going to further guess that this timecode field has dashes in it like this --:--:--:--, right? If so, try this: Click the arrow next to the timecode field and adjust the timecode so that it has a number (it doesn't matter what the number is as long it's not dashes - "00:00:00:00" is fine). Then Save this asset, close it and then reopen it and see if the beeping madness has vanished. Then, to make this change permanent for all of your new assets, make sure to edit the default value of any custom timecode fields to put zeros (or some other numeric default value) into them when a new asset is generated. If the asset still beeps when you open it, check the other metadata groups in your set to see if there isn't another empty timecode field lurking in the shadows.

OPENING A NEW BROWSER TAB/WINDOW WITHOUT NAVIGATING TO IT

Hello there,
I am using flex navigateToUrl( urlRequest, "_blank"); function to open a new browser window. What it does is it also navigates to newly opened window by default. I want to remain in the same page, but still open this new window without focusing it.
Is there a way to do that
Thanks.

I would update your Adobe PDF plug-in first - it is 10.1.7.x and my version says 11.3.x) To do this, go to the [http://mozilla.com/plugincheck Mozilla Plugin Check site].
Once you're there, the site will check if all your plugins have the latest versions.
If you see plugins in the list that have a yellow ''Update'' button or a red ''Update now'' button, please update these immediately.
To do so, please click each red or yellow button. Then you should see a site that allows you to download the latest version. Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation and follow the steps mentioned in the installation procedure.

Opening a new browser from jsp

Hello All,
I have a requirement in which i have to open a new browser when i click on a Submit button.
In that browser a specific URL should run and then that browser should be closed.
Does any one have any idea how to open a browser from jsp page?
Thanks in advance

You would need to use javascript, in firefox this would opena new tab, in IE it would open a new window. Google for window.open and you should find some examples of how to do this.

Problem when OPEN a new browser session

Hi,
I like to open a new browser in my program when user click on the URL.
I did this:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler " + URL);
However, it just didn't open the new browser and it used an existing open browser to launch the URL. I just don't want to lose that session.
How could I force to open a brand new window?
Thanks a lot for your help.

I have my browser configured so that requests like that open up in a tab in the existing open browser. I did that because I want it that way. And if I am using your program, I still want it that way and that's all there is to it. It's my computer and my browser and you don't get to override that.
However, if you don't like how it's working on your computer then go ahead and change your browser's setup.

How can I save my customised toolbar so it is there every time I open a new browser window

I have created a customised toolbar with all the icons I want but have to do it again every time I open a new browser window.

i found i had almost exactly the same problem as you. one evening my itunes just wouldn't start up, it told me that 'itunes is unable to open because some of it's required files are missing, please re-install itunes'. now, i personally know a lot on the subject of computers and how they opperate, i had the built the computer that i encoutered the problem on myself. as soon as i came across the problem, i immediatly thought that i would be able to simply uninstall itunes and quicktime, and then re-install.
after doing this, nothing changed, i went straight to 'add or remove programs' in windows, and tried to remove itunes from there. it wouldn't uninstall. i racked my brains over the problem, until i found this article, which provided a great deal of help. for anyone who later has this problem, go and download this freeware from microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290301 this program will immediatly remove any unwanted programs with ease, whether they are running or not. after using this program to uninstall itunes, re-install, and your problem should be solved.
thanks. Alex Dove

Added URL in Static Text To Open in New Browser Page

Hi to all,
We have added a static text with a url, to open in a new browser page. The url works as it opens in the current browser. But we would like to open in new browser page.
we used a similar notation like the following in the static text:
href=www.oracle.com
target="_blank">Oracle</a>
but this does not open in new browser.
target="_blank" tag should open in new browser
Does anyone have an idea what maybe happening.

Introduce a "target=blank" into the HTML code!
