Pages open behind

All of a sudden (2 weeks ago, maybe), when I clicked in an app (like Mail) and went to Safari, the page was hidden behind the others. It used to open in front. I'm guessing there is a simple answer and ONE OF YOU knows it !!

No one has engaged this, but maybe some are watching, so here is my denouement...
I called Apple support. In Safari preferences, I had checked the middle box under Tabs (Select tabs and windows as they are created.) That caused the URL I was opening (in another app) to open in a window behind the Safari window I had open already. Seems backward to me, but it now works as it has for years.

Why are extra pages opening behind my emails

I get 3 extra pages behind my emails and I cannot determine why. The initial email is okay, but if there is something I have to click on in the email these pages open. They are blank and continuance of their page names includes the words 'Not Available'. I can take a screenshot but cannot see where to attach it. Thanking you for your kind assistance.

For my emails I use Thunderbird but my browser is chrome. I am not good at explaining this I know, but the problem occurs when I have to open another page via the email (like for instance this one and, yes, it opens with my browser and the 3 extra pages are there, as they are as I type this reply, having got to your message via the help feature in Thunderbird. The reason I feel it is a Thunderbird 'thing' is because if I open things in my browser direct this does not happen, only happens opening via an email for which I use Thunderbird.
Kind regards

When I click on a hyperlink on a page, the destination page opens BEHIND the source page. ????

I use open Google News every morning. If click on a hyperlink, the destination page loads BEHIND the source page. ????

If the Menu Bar is not visible, press the Alt key. Then select Tools -> Options.
Under the "Tabs" tab, make sure the following option is checked:
"When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately"
If that option is already checked, I'm at a loss.

IE 8 causes some windows to open behind the current page

Boy, this is a weird one!
We have just upgraded a few of our machines to Internet Explorer 8 (from 7) and our intranet site - whihc works perfectly on 7 - has developed a few "oddities."
When the user clicks a link that opens a document, the document appears in the foregound - that is, in front of the page where the user clicked the link. This is a good thing.
However, when the user clicks a link that opens Window Explorer to display a directory's contents, it opens behind the page where the user clicked the link. If the browser is full screen, the only clue the user has that the link opened is the task bar. As you can imagine, how many times do users actually look at the task bar? Instead, they assume the link is broken and call for support.
In IE7, both types of links opened in the foreground, and that is what we want to continue happening. And no, changing to a different browser isn't the answer. We are stuck with IE8.
The links are coded like this:
<a href=\\System Directory\Folder\Folder\" target="_blank">See the Folder</a>
<a href=\\System Directory\Folder\Folder\Document.pdf" target="_blank">See the Document</a>
Our operating system is XP Professional. We have not installed any add-ons for IE8. We haven't been able to determine if the problem is IE8, Win XP, or out ColdFusion code.
Please help!

Our operating system is XP Professional. We have not installed any add-ons for IE8. We haven't been able to determine if the problem is IE8, Win XP, or out ColdFusion code.
One thing it is definitely not, is CF. This is browser behaviour, a CF doesn't run on the client machine.
This can be demonstrated easily:
<a href=\\System Directory\Folder\Folder\" target="_blank">See the Folder</a>
<a href=\\System Directory\Folder\Folder\Document.pdf" target="_blank">See the Document</a>
Save this as an HTML file (like: with an HTML extension), and browse to it, and click the links. You will probably see the same behaviour with the HTML file as you do with a file processed by CF.

New Window Opening Behind Browser Window

I have produced a page in DW3 for an artist where you click
on a thumbnail and it opens a new window with an enlargement of
that image. (I use the DW3 javascript behaviour to do this).
When I test it on my browsers the windows open in front of
the main browser window and all is hunky dory.
When my client does the same, she claims that some of the
windows open in front of the main browser window but some open
behind the browser window and are obscured. She says she perceives
a "flash" if the new window opens behind the browser window. She is
using Firefox 2.0.9.17
Has anyone experienced this behaviour and figured out a
fix?

Usually the user/browser decides where new windows/tabs will
be opened.
But why open a new window at all? Why not use something like
Litebox?

Open New Browser Window in CS4 opens behind existing window - HELP!

I am creating a website in CS4, and everything works fine EXCEPT ona few pages, for every link I have set up to open in a new browser window, the new window opens BEHIND the existing window, so that you cannot see it. I tried one solution that said to type "javascript:;" in the href (link) box, but that did not correct the problem. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Sounds like you have Tabbed browsing enabled.

Clicking on a link often causes the link to open behind the window with the linik.

Clicking on a link often causes the link to open behind the window with the link.
This occurs most frequently when only one or two windows are open.

Work around found.
The problem was occurring in links on a web page I created for my home page with "target=_new". Changing this to "target=_blank" fixed the problem. The old links worked fine before version16.

Every time I click on a web page an advertisement or MAC Keeper page opens up. I have pop-up blocker on. How do I make this stop?

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Is there a way to have new windows/links open behind the current open window, running Mavericks?

I would like to have new windows that open from links, or when I "right-click, open new window", to open behind the window I am reading from, working from, browsing, etc. I often am doing research, and opening multiple supplemental links, but do not like having to click back to the page I am working from every time.
A separate choice when I right click, to "open in new window behind current window" would be great!

There is no add on that I know of that can do this, but there has been an implementation found for javascript via this link:
*[http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17570412/prevent-document-losing-a-focus-when-new-tab-is-opened Stackoverflow: prevent document from losing a focus when a new tab is opened]
* There is also an about:config entry: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction Browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction] that is explained wht to do when clicking on a link in a webpage that requires a new window open, but it does not restrict the focus of the tab

Unwanted internet pages opening

Hi. I opened a few torrent pages two days ago with Safari and since that on whichever of my usual pages I click a button three different pages open in new tabs:
two of them are similar:
https://123vidz.com/Registration?&theme=tiger&a_aid=51e41a1648fe5&a_bid=72491354 &chan=&pubid=&data1=&sid=&clickid=TR_02C2L9IzzGH6U6D&subid=&g=5346f34286586eb281 829f7bd2619a7a&&ref=1412825122
And the third (of course)

How can I stop this from happening? (I checked for an option to block a page in Security but I didn't find it. They're not pop-ups.)
Thanx, anyone.

Window opens behind another window with sound how do i stop this.

When I open a window, another window will open behind it with sound. Mostly some add witch I then open that page and close. How do you stop this unwanted pages from opening?

I assume we are talking about Safari? If so goto Safari > Preferences > Security. Make sure Block pop-up windows is checked.
Also uncheck Enable Java. I have had problems with pop-under windows and this has prevented them. If you have a site that requires Java you can always re-enable it.

Adding javascript to page open and page close in acrobat 8.1.2

Reading the Acrobat Javascript Object Specification on page 22 it says that you can add javascript to the "page open" and "page close" events of a document.
It then says that under the menu "Document -> Set page action" you can add scripts for those events
I am using Acrobat 8.1.2 and under the document menu there is no "Set page action". And there is nowhere where I can find any "set page action" menu...
whats the deal?
How can i set the page open and page close events in acrobat professional 8.1.2?????????????
Marc

- open the Navigation Panel 'Pages'
- select the page and open the page properties
- in the actions tab you can set the page actions

Remote App, Printer properties opens behind redirect dialog box

We noticed an issue in July 2013 with all redirect printers using RemoteApps on Server 2008R2.
When you clicl on File>Print and sleclt properties, the dialog box is opening behind the Windows windows telling you the printer has been redirectd by RDC. You can see the Printer Preferences and the only way to bring the window the front is
to click on the Window Title bar of the window.
I've seen others posting the same issue, but I haven't seen a resolution.

Hi,
I had the same problem in both Windows 7 and Windows 8.1.
I downloaded the fix KB3036965
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3036965
and installed it on 2 test pc who had the problem. After I Installed the hotfix I worked.
But as Shimon Adimor say’s it is very annoying with the dialog box that appears, that informs you that the printer has been redirected. The KB3036965
does not fix this dialog. So if there is some solution to disable this dialog box it would be nice.
Thanks

I have been sent a 'word document' in which are a series of boxes about thirty lines long to insure written text. When Pages opens the document it extends these to a whole A4 page how do I get it to retain the original layout

You can't change the way Pages import .doc files.
It was never written that it reproduce exactly the original one.
From my point of view, as I refuse to give a cent to M...soft, the best way to deal with documents issued by their Office suite is to use the free libreOffice.
