Opening pages in new tab from Bookmark Folder

From my Bookmark bar, I can open up a bookmark in a new tab by Cmd-clicking on it--just like any ol' regular link. But when the bookmark is in a folder, Cmd-clicking opens up in the current tab. I'd like it to open in a new tab. Am I doing something wrong? I'd hate to think I have to open up a new tab and then open the bookmark...

Hi Brian,
You're not doing anything wrong - it just doesn't work the way most people would expect.

Audio keeps playing when opening multiple new tabs from bookmarks folder

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone has noticed this behaviour in Safari and if its intentional or perhaps a bug.
If I have a website open with some audio playing (like a youtube video etc...) and then open some new tabs from a bookmarks folder by choosing "Open in Tabs", the audio from the video in the previous tab will keep playing in the background. However, any tabs that were open before (including the one with the audio) seems to have been automatically closed when choosing the "Open in Tabs" option so there doesn't appear to be a way to stop the audio, other than closing Safari.

You're welcome.
Could you please click the "''Solved It''" button next to the post which solved the problem for you? This will help others searching for a solution to the same question.
Thanks.

Why can't I scroll or use MMB to open pages in new tab, when I have a PDF file opened in FF4?

If I have a PDF file opened in firefox 4, I am for unknow reason unable to open pages in new tabs with MMB or scroll thepage up or down. The scroll function isn't working at all, and it seems like I'd be scrolling the PDF file, not the page of my current tab.

Hi aK'
Nice, memorable user name!
-1712 is a timed out error. One reported cause (with other applications) is that the application is attempting to open a large number of files, or a file that no longer exists.
Try holding down the shift key when launching preview. This prevents the application from attempting to open windows that were not closed before quitting the application.

Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Opening pages in new tabs is slow and switches to the new tab and back. How can I stop this?

I work with a lot of tabs and most of the time, I need pages in new tabs to open fast. Recently, whenever I open a page in a new tab, Firefox goes to the new tab for a second, then back to the tab I was on previously, although I have it set to not automatically go to new tabs. This is slowing me down and I'd really like it to stop. I've even tried just having one tab open.

Open pages in new tabs

Preferences are set to open new sites in a new TAB, but it keeps opening them in a whole new window. I want TABs like my old Firefox. How do I teach stupid software to be smarter in this??

Are you clicking links in ordinary web pages, or do you mean from external applications?
Do you have any tab-related add-ons, such as Tab Mix Plus? If so, please check their settings in case they are overriding the built-in settings.

Open page in new tab?

i like that you can open up multiple pages in safari in a way similar to tabs, and links that pop new windows automatically pop a new page. but can you choose to open links in new pages that arent set to do so in the html already? Im used to reading a message forum or search page and keeping it open as the main navigation point, and spawning multiple tabs of what i want to check out. With the edge network slowness, keeping a hub page of links open rather than having to reload pages seems extra important. so...any way to hover over a link and make it open in new page rather than same page on iphone Safari? i sure cant figure out how...
semi-related: any way to save a cached version of a page on the phone? i want to be able to repload some stuff before i travel and wont have good connectivity, but it seems a bit odd and when it tries to refresh content. In particular, I pulled the giant (for EDGE) pdf of iphone instructions, and would like to be able to either save it or cache it or whatever so it stays local on the phone. I dont think this is currently possible...but sure should be...any ideaS?

I tend to browse the same way on sites like Forums or when I want to read a linked in story later, while retaining the main story to continue to read and go back to. If you or anyone else find a way to do this (i.e. the equivalent of the "apple" + click on the desktop Safari) let me know.
If there is no way to do this currently, Apple should add this functionality in the next patch. It would make browsing better, particularly on the iPhone for the reasons you mention.

What is the shortcut key instead of using right-click on the link and selecting "Open Link in New Tab" from the context menu?

I want to use from keyboard(to hold this for example T)and left-click on the link to open the link.Exactly my question is about "Opening links in a new tab".I prefer to use LEFT-click.thank you so so much.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

Open Page in new window from button

I have a button that need to open up a page in new window when clicked. The page it needs to open is dynamic and stored in an item called 'P0_STUDENT_RECORD_LIST'.
I added this to item pre-element text:
<button onclick="javascript:PopupSTUDENT()">
How can I get the function to open the page name stored in the item?
Is there a different method I should use?
function PopupSTUDENT(){ popUp('f?p=&APP_ID.:DYNAMIC_PAGE_NAME:&SESSION.::NO:::');}

how about this:
function PopupStudent()
javascript:window.open('f?p=&APP_ID.:&DYNAMIC_PAGE_NAME.:&SESSION.::NO.:::','Popup','width=800,height=500,scrollbars=1,resizable=1');

Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
Quit Safari. Go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file to the Desktop.
Relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, move the .plist file to the Trash, not move it back to the Preferences folder.
Check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. If you have any installed, turn that off, quit then relaunch Safari to test.

And empty the Safari cache from the menu bar. That may help also.

Why does the Right-click -> "t" delete a bookmark on the bookmark toolbar, when Right-click -> "t" opens a new tab elsewhere in Firefox. The bookmark toolbar use Right-click -> "w" to open in a new tab. Please change this to "t" to... I keep deleting all my bookmark because you don't make the commands consistent!

If you have accidentally removed bookmarks then use "Organize > Undo" in the bookmarks manager (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) to get them back. 
The Organize button is the first of the three buttons on the toolbar in the Library (Bookmarks Manager). 
That only works if you haven't closed Firefox.

"Open in new Tab" for bookmarks in sub-toolbar menu

In Safari, if the toolbar is full with Bookmarks, they begin to gather in a sub-Toolbar which can be accesed via clicking on the ">>" which is to the far right of the window. However if you two-finger click to open "Page in new tab" on any gathered bookmarks in the sub-toolbar, the operation doens't exist!
If you can understand what I'm trying to describe than that's good. I want to tell Safari developers this!

Hi
Yes - I see just what you mean.
fwiw the command-click (Apple key) does work to open in a new tab, even though the ctrl, or two-finger click isn't available.

When I press right click - Open in a new Tab on a bookmark on Firefox 4.0 nothing happens. Is this a bug? Is there a solution?

When I press right click -> Open in a new Tab on a bookmark on the "Display your bookmarks" icon that is located on the upper right corner of Firefox 4.0 nothing happens. It only works if I press right click -> Open in a new Tab on bookmarks under the menu that is located on the upper left corner. Is this a bug? Is there a solution?

No its working fine.

Nothing will open in a new tab.

Normally, when you click a link, it opens in the current tab. If you want to open a link in a new tab instead, just right-click on the link and select Open Link in New Tab from the context menu. This option no longer works since I upgraded to the current version of firefox. Nothing will open in a new tab.
I disabled my addons and went one by one restoring them to look for an interfering addon. But when I did this Firefox worked fine and the "Open in New Tab" function worked as well as links designed to open in a new tab rather than the current window worked.
But, shortly after that the problem reappeared. I did the disable addons and reapplied them one by one. I ran CCleaner and Glary's Utilities and Spybot Search & Destroy and my anti-virus scanner (Comodo Anti-Virus & Firewall)

Well, I already did that with the previous version of FF when this started. I t got worse with FF v.9.
I went to a Mozilla web page that checked plugins to see if they were up to date. All of them were.
But, when I had this "Tab" problem before I remembered a solution that mentioned something about Java or Java Script being involved. The plugin test page showed no Java Plugin(s).
So, I went to the Java/Oracle website and downloaded and updated Java. Later that night I had full joy with the tabbed browsing in Firefox v.9.0.1.
Problem is solved.
