Opening a new tab by right clicking from Facebook home page

Whenever I right click and go to a new tab I get a messed up page. This happens only on Facebook when helping friends or viewing something from a post. It only happens on Firefox, tried it on IE plus on 2 more computers. Also when I am playing a game...ie FV and wish to post for help...the box just sets there showing it working but never opens fully so I can post.
Will be glad to send a copy of what the page looks like when I open a new tab if you need it.

here is what the page looks like when I open a new tab...is there anything I can do to fix this...Thank You

  • Please add "open in new tab" in right click context manual for pages in tabs

    tab bar pages like google or yahoo. When I want a duplicate page ,
    pointing to individual tab & using right click does not have "Open in a new Tab"!
    browser like orcabrowser and a few other browser using firefox engine seems to be able to provide this feature.
    Thank you.

    Thanks. Have used it to move some things around in the menu items. However, it does not let me make the changes on a right-click dialogue box.

  • After opening a new tab, when I click on my home page (the house icon), it duplicates and opens a second window...it's never done this before?

    I just installed Firefox on a new laptop. Google is my home page. My opening tab is always Google. But, when I open a New Tab, it doesn't open in Google. So, I've always clicked on the house icon to take me straight to Google. Now when I do, TWO tabs open in Google. (it duplicates)

    I tried all of the above, I've reinstalled Firefox and I've checked if value set to 3 in browser.link.open_newwindow which it is, but the problem still happens.
    Regarding what you say re what is written in the article Tab preferences and settings, I understand what this means. However I am using FireFox in my work. I have a CRM where I constantly click on a button that automatically opens my order system on a new tab, or email templates in a new tab etc. The tab opens next to the tab I am currently on. However ever since I was prompted to Refresh Firefox earlier, it now opens these in a new window. Therefore the size of these pages has nothing to do with it, as this was not a problem before.
    This is irritating, as no I have to go from one window to another, and where I have multiple tabs open it is making my life difficult.
    Not happy!

  • I can only open a new tab by right clicking on an item in an already open tab and selecting open in new tab

    I can only open a new tab by right clicking on an item in an already open tab and selecting open in new tab. Nothing else works e.g. File, New Tab, or clicking on the New Tab to the right of the last tab.

    Uninstall the '''''Ask Toolbar'''''. It can cause that problem.

  • Open in new tab on right click fails to open in the current window when used in a dependent window called with window.open command from original window this worked fine until ver 4.0

    i have been using this page in all versions of firefox until ver 4.0 and it has worked fine
    https://npwas.com/dummy/charts/charts.html
    when this page is loaded enter a stock symbol in the text field "AAPL"
    then click one of the lower links --"Yahoo Headlines"-- and another window is opened with this code
    - function yahoolink(sqlstring, winnum) {
    - var myurl = "http://finance.yahoo.com/";
    - var mysymbol = document.SymbolForm.symbol.value;
    - var mysrc = myurl + sqlstring + mysymbol;
    - var mywindow = "mywindow" + winnum;
    - //alert("mywindow- " + mywindow);
    - if (sqlstring == "mb/")
    - mysrc = "http://messages.finance.yahoo.com/" + -sqlstring + mysymbol;
    window.open(mysrc,mywindow,'resizable=yes,titlebar1=1,toolbar=1,scrollbars=1');
    all this works but when i right click on a message or news item and select "OPEN IN NEW TAB" - it fails to open the tab in this current window it opens it in the parent window --
    the way i have always used this is to able to select news and right click all news items to read as new tabs and have all news items or messages to be grouped in the child window
    this is now broken or do i need to recode something??
    https:\\npwas.com come is my secure server and you may load the page and see the code
    so far i really love ver 4.0 especially the sppppppeeeeeeeeed!!!!
    keep up the great work
    thanx in advance

    the user jay_ff shows how to do it using the Menu Editor Add-on
    1. Install the Menu Editor add-on from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/menu-editor/ .
    2. After the installation, go to Firefox> add-ons (or simply use Ctrl+Shift+A)
    3. Go to the Menu Editor "Options"
    4. In the "Main context menu," simply grab the "Open link in New Tab" and place it below the "Open Link in New Window"
    5. and Voila! You may also change other menu options if you want to!
    I tried jay_ff method first and found that indeed changing the Main Context Menu did cause the hotlink context menu to change as well.

  • When I open a new tab it doesnt bring up my home page. I checked in tools under options and then clicked on General and it shows my home page. What can I do to get it to open with my home page?

    Just need to answer the question above it gives perfect detail to my problem.

    A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
    If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    You can middle-click or hold down Ctrl and left-click the Home button on the Navigation toolbar to open the Home page in a new tab.
    You can use an extension to set which page to open in a new tab:
    *NewTabURL : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
    *My Homepage: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/my-homepage/

  • I cannot open a new tab using the + or Ctrl T or from the file menu. The only way to open a new tab is to click a link. How do I fix this?

    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 open a new tab not right next to the one I open from but next to the last?

    Before I switched to the current version of Firefox, the new tab that I would open, was opening right after the last open tab previously opened.
    Now if I have 4 tabs open and I open a new tab from inside the first one, the new tab opens as number 2 tab.
    Is there an option that toggles the opening sequence ?

    A couple of methods, first use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/61766/ New Tabs at the End] add-on. The second method involves changing a hidden preference.
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter

    # In the filter box type '''related'''
    # Double-click on the preference browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent to change its value to '''false'''

  • Option to open new window or new tab via right click on taskbar icon in WinXP, Firefox 10 is not available

    When I right click on the Firefox tab/icon in the taskbar, there is no option for me to open a new window or new tab. I am only offered the ability to Move, Size, Minimize, Maximize or Close Firefox.

    That is the Windows System menu and is maintained by Windows XP.
    You need to open Firefox to open a new tab or create a shortcut with the -new-tab or -new-window command line switch if you want to do that via the desktop.

  • How do I stop Firefox from opening a new tab when I click a link or navigation button (such as "home") instead of redirecting using the currently open tab?

    Any time I click on a link within a page, such as the "home" link in Facebook, or the various links on the Mozilla page that I needed to follow to get to this screen, Firefox opens a new tab instead of redirecting using the tab I'm on. Also, Firefox doesn't go to the new tab, it just opens it. So if I want to actually go to the page I've just clicked on, I have to then also find and click on the new tab that just opened.

    Hello,
    In safe mode link still open in new tabs?
    *[http://mzl.la/MwuO4X Firefox in safe mode]
    Go to '''about:config''' and search for:

  • Is there a way to open a new tab/window by clicking the Safari dock icon?

    Is there a way to open a new tab or window by clicking the Safari dock icon? Right now, the default behavior seems to be that Safari simply un-minimizes or displays the last window in focus.
    I want to be able to quickly fire up a new tab or window in Safari when it is out of focus, such as when Finder is in focus. The workaround right now is to right-click on the Safari dock icon, and select "New Window", or to allow the last window in focus to appear, and cmd+t or cmd+n. But this is too many steps over the course of a day for a highly frequented task like this.

    I'm glad that helped. Thanks for posting back.
    ... when I save this as an application as "run only", it's relatively quick to run, but there's a delay to load... I assume it's opening Script Editor every time?
    As long as the script is saved as an application -- Run Only or not -- it should definitely not cause the Script Editor to open. You can verify this by closing the Script Editor application altogether prior to clicking on the docked script icon that you saved. You should notice that the Script Editor does not open when the script is run.
    FWIW, I went back and saved a version of the script as a Run Only app, and I didn't notice any difference between it and the original, which was saved without the Run Only option checked. The delay that you're noticing might be accounted for by the fact that the script, because it was saved as an application, will be activated just as any other standalone application would be. This happens prior to Safari being activated. Watch your menu bar when clicking on the docked script icon and you should see the name of the saved script app appear for a split second before Safari gets activated.
    The only time I can think of that you might wish to save the script as a Run Only application would be if you wanted to conceal the script for some reason. If, for example you were publishing the script as a part of an application release and didn't want its contents known, or you didn't want an end user to be able to edit the script, you might select the Save As > Run Only option. To illustrate this, try dragging and dropping a script saved as a Run Only application onto the Script Editor's icon. You should see a warning dialog to this effect:
    *Unable to read the file because the script is not editable (it was saved as run-only).*
    Whereas if you drag a script that was not saved as a Run Only app onto the Script Editor's icon, the script should open in the Editor, and it can be edited.
    I played around with the "stay open" option for saving the script as an application, but it appears I have to close the app and reopen it before I can get it to work a second time.
    The Stay Open option is appropriate for scripts which use an "On Idle" handler, which really wouldn't apply in this case. Check out more on Idle Handlers here and here.
    Is there a faster way to use this multiple times throughout the day?
    One way you might speed up the action would be to save the script +as a script+ by choosing Save As > File Format: script from the Script Editor's File menu. The resulting script can then be activated by assigning a hot key to it using one of several 3rd-party keyboard shortcut programs available on the Internet. (I used Spark, assigned a function key to the script I posted earlier, and found the action to run significantly faster.)
    Good luck.

  • I can no longer open a new tab either by clicking on it or using the File/New tab command.

    I used to be able to open a new tab by clicking on the plus sign to the right of already open tabs. For some reason this function has stopped working. I have also tried "File/New tab" with equal lack of success.

    Try uninstalling 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.
