Opening an external link in a new window

I have several external links on my web page. When I click on them, they open in the current window. I would like them to open in a seperate window. Is this possible?

Here are some great sites that will give you step by step instructions for editing the html pages post-publishing:

I recently updated to version 5.0, however, when I open up a link in a new window, there is no address in the new window's address bar, just a blank box.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

Firefox has started loading external links in a new window instead of a new tab

I am running IE Tab 2 (FF 3.6+) 2.12.21.1 by ietab.net and was experiencing this problem... I just disabled it and the problem went away.

Open detaile navigation link in a new window

Anyone got a quick and dirty on how I can open a detailed nav link in a new browser window? I thought I could do it by adding url parameters but that doesn't seem to work.
I'm on EP6 SP3
Thanks!

If its an Iview, there is a property called "launch in new window" for iviews. Just set that to "Display in seperate window"

Opening an "URL" link in a new window

Hi,
I scanned the boards for how to do this but wasn't sure I could manage some of the suggestions I've read (using javascripts, buttons, etc). I found a simple solution that worked for me and thought I'd share..
I have a SQL Query/Report that contains a column link/URL. I wanted my users to open a new browser Window to display that content, and I did this by adding "target=_blank" in the Link Attributes field.

Hahah, guess I missed the "HTMLDB has been renamed" notice! So, this is the right forum ;-)

How to Open External Links in a New Tab

I want links in web pages to open in the current tab so I have browser.link.open_newwindow=1. But how do I make links from extenal applications open in a new tab?

Try setting the following to 3, not really sure if preference was actually removed or just won't accept 2, the intent was that the two variables be the same (I think)
browser.link.open_external -- Where to open links sent to the browser from an external application
* 2 (default in SeaMonkey): Opens external links in a new window
* 3 (default in Firefox): Opens external links in a new tab in the most recent window
* 1 (or anything else): Opens external links in current window
Note: In Firefox 2 and above, via “Tools → Options → Tabs → New pages should be opened in:” (same as browser.link. open_newwindow)
Pref removed from Firefox 3.5

How do I configure safari to open external links in the existing window

The current version of Safari (8.02) always opens an external link (such as from Mail) in a new tab. I would like to configure so that it loads the link in the existing open tab (window). Is there a way to do that? If so can some one tell me how to do that?

Linc: I have seen that configuration page and none of those options allows you to configure Safari so that it will load an external link in an already open tab or window. I have looked in two different reference books on OS X (Mavericks not Yosemite) and not found any relevant information in their discussions of Safari.

Firefox won't open mailto links in a new window like it used to...it just opens gmail in the current tab.

I recently upgraded firefox and now whenever I click a mailto link it opens gmail in the current tab rather than in a new window. How can I get it to open email links in a new window.

My MAILTO problem was finally fixed on the June 29, 2012 Firefox version 14 beta 10 release.

Using Firefox 4.0 Beta 4. When I open a link in a new window, the web address does not show in the location bar. Why?

When I open a web page link in "a new window" the link opens, but the web page information does not appear in the location bar. It is blank. If I open the link in a new tab, there is ho problem.
Further, if a open a link from the tab without a location in a new tab on the same window and then go back to the original tab, the location bar fills with the web address.
Have done this starting in several locations, so it not location dependent.

That behaviour is likely top be caused by an add-on, and in your case the likely culprit is IE Tab 2, the various versions of IE Tab have caused problems with Firefox 4 beta including issues with the location bar not being updated.
You can test to see if IE Tab 2 is causing your problem by disabling it and then seeing if the location bar in a new window shows the address. If it is not that add-on causing the problem, see [[troubleshooting extensions and themes]].
For info, the IE Tab Plus add-on has been updated recently to improve compatibility with Firefox 4 beta, you may want to try that one instead. The latest version is available from http://coralietab.mozdev.org/installation.html

I would like to open links in a new window but cannot find where to put the setting. Have unchecked the "Open new windows in new tab instead" box in the Options dialog box.

When I click a link on a webpage or other software, I would like for it to open in a completely new window.

You can hold the Shift key and click the left mouse button a link to open that link in a new window.
The setting in Tools > Options > Tabs is only for links that specify a target window and you can divert such a link to a new tab instead.

New tabs are not updating the names of the sites they have loaded. When I open a new tab and load a site, the tab simply stays named "New Tab". When I open a link in a new window, it shows "Connecting..." even while its fully loaded.

When I start mozilla or open any link in a new window I get the desired page to load but an additional new tab page opens up along with it, fix?

When I start mozilla or open any link in a new window I get the desired page to load but an additional new tab page opens up along with it. I've tried switching my homepage to different things (new tab, firefox home, show blank page) but I always get an additional new tab to open. How do I get only a single page to open?

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. 
'''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:
'''For Firefox versions previous to 29.0:'''
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]] 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.
'''For Firefox 29.0 and above:'''
#Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''.
Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
#At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]]. Click on it.
#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.

Button opens link in a new window

Hello everyone,
This is a rather simple question for all gurus out there, but
it seems a bit hard to find on documentation. How can you open a
link in a new window with a button in a flash form? I want a button
on my form to pop a new window with a specified link (say,
www.adobe.com or whatever). How would you approach this?
