Opening links in a RSS feed using the Open in New Tab/Window command doesn't work in FF4. It worked perfectly in FF 3.6. What seems to be the problem?

I have set up a number of RSS feeds to open in folders underneath the search/address bar in Firefox. I use them mainly to follow news updates from newspaper websites etc. After installing FF4, the opening of links contained in those folders (lists of links) using right-click and selecting the Open in New Tab command stopped working. There is no response whatsoever - as if I didn't click the command.

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.

  • When I click on a link in an RSS feed it used to indicate that I'd viewed that particular link by changing the icon to the left of the link. It doesn't do that anymore. [SOLVED]

    When I click on a link in an RSS feed it used to indicate that I'd viewed that particular link by changing the icon to the left of the link. It doesn't do that anymore. This started happening right around the time I updated to Firefox 4, but may have been a little before that too. For some things, like news and web comics it's just a little annoying. For important things like looking for new journal articles for my job, it literally makes my job more difficult. So fixing this would make my day.

    I seem to have solved my own problem. When I disabled the add-on "Tab Renamizer" everything started working fine.

  • When I click a link to open the page in new tab, it open the new page beside my page.

    After I update FireFox to version 3.6.8, I could not open the new page in the last tab, it always opens the new page in beside the tab.
    Mmm…I could not make sure the new page or new tab I said is the same with you…?? (I use Chinese version so that I don’t know if it’s the same or not…)
    A window could open several pages with different tabs, and I could click different tab to different page, right?
    If I right clicked a link to open the page to “new tab” in the same window, the new tab opened in the last tab of my window.
    But after I update FireFox to version 3.6.8 and I click a link to open the page to “new tab” in the same windoe, the new tab will open beside my page. (Mmm…Open on right of my page.)
    I would like the “new tab” open to the last tab in my window, not “beside” the tab I used. How could I change the setting??)
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    That feature isn't new to 3.6.8, it was changed in 3.6.
    Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter.
    ''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
    Filter = '''browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent'''
    Double-click that preference to change the value to '''''false'''''

  • Why RSS feeds cannot be opened in Safari

    Running Safari 5.0.6 on OS 10.5.8 and cannot open any RSS feeds. Had the power supply replaced yesterday and all RSS feeds updated and open-ran fine before that. They ran okay last night, but I cleared all RSS feeds before shutting down. This morning the bookmark tabs SHOW that there are new RSS feeds available, but Safari gives me the error message for all RSS saved..."Safari can’t open the page “feeds:RSS%20.........660BDA74-3C8F-4DB9-BF8F-5E71ADC431C3” because Safari can’t load any data from this location." What do I need to do?

    Hello,
    Something is corrupted...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive & clear caches.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    If the problem persists it may be a bad RSS feed, get Find Any File...
    http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/
    Hold Option or alt key when selecting Find to Find All.
    Search All for Name contains...
    660BDA74-3C8F-4DB9-BF8F-5E71ADC431C3
    I'd trash at least that file, without Safari running of course.

  • HAVi Widget to display RSS feeds using Nanoxml parser

    I have got an assignment of developing a HAVi widget to display RSS feeds using the NanoXML parser. I am a beginner in JAVA tv concepts and is stuck with this problem on how to start!
    Can please someone help?

    Havi widgets are lightweight components. You could start by creating a Havi widget extending HComponent and overriding paint method. For the initial urpose, try using some dummy text to fill in your widget. You can later experimenting with the XML parser and query it to dislay the actual text you would want to (remember to get rid o the dummy text).

  • When i open my itunes store, it says secure link to itunes failed and it doesnt load up, what seems to be the problem here? appreciate all the help i can get, thanks! :)

    When i open my itunes store, it says secure link to itunes failed and it doesnt load up, what seems to be the problem here? appreciate all the help i can get, thanks!

    Yes, provided all the media is inside the iTunes Media folder, which is in turn inside the main iTunes folder (which is the standard arrangement) you should be able to move the iTunes folder from <User's Music> to any other path and shift-start-Tunes (option-start-iTunes on a Mac) to reconnect to it.
    If the media folder has split out to another drive in the past, or media is stored outside of the iTunes Media folder, then things get a bit more complicated. I can go into details should it be necessary.

  • How do I make sure that google reader launches whenever I click on an RSS feed icon (to add a new feed)?

    Right now, when I click to add a new rss feed (using the icon up in the search bar), it automatically launches yahoo, which drives me crazy. I want to CHANGE the setting so that it automatically launches google reader. Please advise!

    See http://lifehacker.com/392287/set-firefox-3-to-launch-gmail-for-mailto-links
    Set the pref gecko.handlerService.allowRegisterFromDifferentHost to true on the about:config page.
    Run this javascript code via copy and paste to the location bar and press the Enter key to run the code.
    <code>navigator.registerProtocolHandler('mailto','https://mail.google.com/mail/?extsrc=mailto&url=%s','Gmail');</code>
    Do not forget to reset the pref gecko.handlerService.allowRegisterFromDifferentHost to false after you have added Gmail.
    To open the ''about:config'' page, type '''about:config''' in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

  • Open link in new tab/window problem

    I have the following problem: I have a menu with h:commandLinks and I use faces.config configurations for my navigation. When I choose to open a menu entry in a new window or a new page the old page is displayed and I have to click again on the menu entry in order to navigate to the new page.
    Does anyone know what is causing this? How could I make it work so that the user gets the content of the desired page in the new tab/window?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    sorry for the late response. I have h:messages on the page and I don't get any errors. I try to open the link so: right click on the link and then I choose "Open Link in New Tab" or "Open Link in New Window".
    If I simply click on the link everything works fine and the new page is displayed but when I use the right click menu the same page is displayed and I have to click again to obtain the desired page.
    thanks

  • I have an old iPod Classic with 80 GB (I think) of space. I saved all my songs in an external hard drive, but the iTunes library resided in an old computer (no longer working). Can I get the libray from my iPod and use it in my new computer (Windows)?

  • Can the "ADD-A-NEW-TAB" button be reconfigured to be adjacent to existing tabs (like it used to be)? I am a left-handed tablet user who finds it's position on the far right side of screen very inconvenient.

    In previous version of Firefox, the "add-a-new-tab" button has been located to the right of any existing tabs. In the latest version it's been moved to the far right of the screen. In tablet mode, this is too far to reach conveniently for a left-hander. I cannot find any controls to re-configure it to the way it used to be and I can't "drag" it to where I want it. Is there a way to relocate it?

    Thanks. I don't know why it wouldn't just go back there when I tried putting it back? I didn't change anything, so I assumed the new "default" was over on the left. Glad it was a simple solution after all.

  • Opening file in a new tab/window

    Hi,
    I have a form (HTML added through a widget) and a number of images on one page. I want each image to be a link to a file, where the images will be seen full quality. however, doing this takes visitors away from the page instead of opening a new tab/window - then clicking back means that the form data is lost - i.e. tickboxes are no longer ticked, etc.
    I cannot use the photo viewing page included in iWeb, as the pictures will then overlap with my form because the enlarged images are loaded on the same page.
    I hope this makes sense, and if anyone could help with opening files in new tab/window it would be great, or a way of opening a photo viewing platform in a separate tab/window directly from a click of one of the photos. I have seen other sites - http://www.aroundthebusch.com/Folio/London%20to%20Istanbul.html
    (this is not mine) where the photo viewing "platform" is IDEAL. I would love something just like this if someone could advise.
    i do not want the photos to link to an external page (which can be opened in a new window) as it would mean me creating separate pages for each picture, and linking them all... no way!
    Also, it would obviously be preferable to be quick to set up, but also to change. I would need to have multiple pages of many photos, each with the viewing facilities so it could not take a long time to set up. I may also need to add/delete some photos, so if all the linking work was done automatically it would be fantastic.
    Any help much appreciated,
    Thanks in advance, James

    If you open it in javascript and specify a height/width or location it should open in a new window.
    window.open("http://www.adobe.com", "_blank", "toolbar=yes, scrollbars=yes, resizable=yes, top=500, left=500, width=400, height=400");

  • URL Hyperlinks in Acrobat (and InDesign) open in new Tab/Window

    I really don't understand, why this feature isn't  implemented yet. I tried to google a workaround and found hundreds of posts auround this problem. People where asking how they could do this since 2002 (the oldest post I could find) maybe earlier.
    Please make sure Acrobat - and also InDesign - get this feature in the next version - because people want to have it!!!
    What do I talk about?
    The following feature:
    I include a textlink or and Image-link into a PDF-File.
    Because of the Standard Browser settings most of the people who download a PDF-File will see the PDF in a Browser Tab. Now, if they hit one of the links (included in the PDF) the link opens in the same window/Tab. The PDF is closed. The only way to get back to the PDF is to hit the return button of the browser or reload the PDF. Normally I would like to open these links in a new Tab or Window. But there is no function nor in Acrobat, neither in InDesign to make the Link open in a new TAB/Window.
    I know there was a possibillity  using JavaScript (app.launchURL("http://www.MySampleURL.com/someFolder/somePage.html", true);)
    and this worked. But now because of the security settings of Acrobat X and later it only works if the user changes the settings. So, it's no longer useful because most of the users won't know how to make the links work.
    So at the moment there is NO WAY to make the link open in a new Tab.
    I know If I link another file, it askes me where to open - new window or the same. Why can't you implement it for URL's too?
    Sorry, I searched the whole day to solve this problem. And I can't understand, why Adobe doesn't look at there customers needs (since 2002 or earlier).

    This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • HT201302 When I am trying to import pictures from my iphone to PC, I get the message'No new pictures of videos were found on this device'. There are lots of pictures which i can see on the iphone. I have a 4S. Is there a way to get around that?

    It sounds like you are using an application to import. You can do it manually.
    Start > Computer (on the right) > scroll to the bottom and you will see your iPhone under Portable Devices > Open it and you will see a Drive, open that and there will be a DCIM folder. That is where your photos will be (There may be other folders each holding photos).

  • How do I erase all the thumbnails in new tab?

    I didn't check the thumbanils in new tab for a long time, and now there a lot of these from my history, my question is how do I erase them without clicking the X mark again an again on every one?

    If you click the X then you place those items in the blocked list.
    That is the browser.newtabpage.blocked pref that you can inspect on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
    Note that Firefox still creates thumbnails of visited pages in the thumbnails folder when you disable the about:newtab page or aren't using it.
    You can create this Boolean pref on the about:config page to prevent Firefox from generating thumbnails for the about:newtab page.
    *name: browser.pagethumbnails.capturing_disabled with value: true
    You can delete the thumbnails folder in the Firefox profile folder to remove already stored web page thumbnails.
