Picking which monitor new pages open on.

I use a two monitor setup, but I don't always have my second monitor on. Sometimes I open new pages in safari and they pop up on the second monitor which is powered off. It's a real pain in the neck to try and blindly fish it over the active monitor or having to power it on just to move something. Is they're any solution to this?

That is a clever trick !
I suspect such things are controlled by your monitor software.

Hello- I would like to have new pages open in a separate tab automatically...(i.e., Google--- Google listing---click on listing-----auto open new tab and put the page of the google listing that I selected, on the new tab. Thanks. RMartinez

Hello again-
Here is my scenario-
I am browsing, and let's say, I'm on Google. I look up "albatross novels." I get 6 hits. I look at the list, and I pick one of them. I double-click on it, and away we go. My current Google search page is REPLACED by the selected "albatross" site. But it's not exactly what I want. So now I click the BACK ARROW to go back to the Google page, to look at the other 'albatross" hits. And now I find another site, replacing my Google page when I open it......And THAT site takes me to another site, and another, and yet another......But then I realize that the first site WAS the best one. Now I have to hit the back button 15 times and probably NOT reach the Google page from which I started.
But if I could have the new pages open in a new tab, then I could go back and forth between all the pages without worrying about the back button.
I am sure that this is just a setting change somewhere, but I can't find it....I do have it on my work computer.
Thanks/Rod Martinez

When say opening my mail box a new pages opens to a site not where I selected to go have run anitvirus scans with no problems found any ideas.

When opening my email a new page opens in my browser it may be just a normal site or my WOT warns of danger. If I X the new browser and go back to my email all is normal until I ask for the email again a a later time. Have run numerous virus scans and superantispyware scans with no problems found. also when opening a google search when I click on a site a new google search opens with the same search information.

It's a really bad idea to post your email address - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove it. (Even though I've now noticed you mis-spelled it! - anyway, never post your address in a forum.)
You have a site here: http://virginiagordon.com/www.virginiagordon.com/WELCOME.html
If that's not the page you are having trouble with, what is that page's URL?

New page opens each time I click on a link instead of staying imbedded on the current page

Each time I click on a link or delve further into a sight, instead of staying within that sight Firefox opens an entirely new page. At the end of just a few minutes of browsing, the page indicator along the bottom of my screen has dozens of open pages. I can't hit the 'back' button to go back in a sight because Firefox has already opened a new page instead.
What is up with this and how do I get it to stop?

Some new pages open without a vertical scroll bar...even tho the page is very long.

It only happens with one particular vendors website. They can't explain it. Most of their web pages work fine.
I selected an imbedded link from one page and a new browswer window opens and populates but there is no left margin vertical scroll bar. And there is lots of data below to view. CAnt get there from here.

Can you share the link to the page?
Does it make any difference if you change the zoom level, such as by holding down Ctrl and tapping the + key or the - key a couple of times?
New windows opened by a script can be customized by leaving out some elements. Presumably if they were doing that, they would know. However, just in case, you could prevent sites from removing the scrollbars from popup windows.
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box that appears above the list, type or paste '''window_o''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''dom.disable_window_open_feature.scrollbars''' preference to switch it from false to true.
(The name of this preference is difficult to understand, but it means that Firefox will block the site from turning off scrollbars on a new window if set to true.)

How do I change my tab and new page opening settings?

Every time I click on a link of any kind, it opens a new tab. This includes things like clicking a youtube video after finishing a different one, which should just go to the video in the same tab, not open a new one. How do I get it to stop opening new tabs every time I try to click something? It even opens new tabs each step of making this question. It's slowing down my computer because it's making tons of new tabs for no reason.

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
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).

Many times when I click on a link that does not use a new tab, a new page opens under my current page, instead of 'on top'. How do I get new pgs to Open On Top

No further information.

Waka, I have Kaspersky running 24/7 but Cor-el (from Superman, I think) gave me a list of software to try.
Cor-el, the middle click seemed to work on a page that went under, which I deleted and tried again with the wheel click.
Waka and Cor-el, I have been planning to reinstall my Windows 7 OS and upgrade it to Pro, from Home at the same time. Will possibly re-partition C: and -will- reformat it. Will have to re-install ALL my software plus some of my softwares' user information, which I have also backed up, along with favorites and many others.

When i try to open a site, i get several new pages open with 4 tabs apiece, 2 index of files pages and 2 server not found pages. i have had as many as 10 of these pop up one after the other. initial page loads but i have to close all the other pages.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I have tried this on another machine running the same version of Blackboard. It works fine.
Only difference is that the machine that has the JVM crash is running on Fujitsu PrimePower and the OS is Solaris 9 (but twigged for PrimePower).
The one where it runs and starts up successfully is running on SunFire (OS is Solaris 10).
I am wondering if there is a problem with the JVM loading required libraries because of the OS being different versions.
Any leads on this is welcomed. Thank you.

Hon Peng

'go to link' action to open page already open as opposed to opening a new page

I'm sure there is a simple answer to this but I cannot find it.
I want to put this link (action?) on all new pages opened enabling the viewer to return to the home page if it is already open in the browser, or open the home page if it has been closed.

Hello,
Please provide following information for more clarity.
1. How are you inserting icon animatiton in the page? as OAM file ?
2. Which application are you using to insert it in page? Dremweaver or Muse etc.
3. Once you define action what is the code that is updated by you for linking the page?
4. please provide the live site URL.
Regards
Vivek

Multiple monitors - how to define which monitor files open on

Mac OS 10.8.X
PS CS6
I work on a Mac with three monitors. My primary monitor is in the middle. I often will drag images to one of the side monitors where they'll stay open while I'm working on other images. But photoshop will open the next image I choose on the side monitors where I've got images open.
I want all new images to open on my primary monitor, always. Is there a way to define which monitor images will open on?

Photoshop will open an image on the last monitor an image was on. If I open an image and drag it to one of my side monitors, then open a new image, it will open on the same monitor where the other image is sitting. If I open an image and move it to a side monitor, then close it on that monitor, the next image will open on that monitor.
So I think your answer is not correct. PS always opens the image on the last monitor where an image resided.
Repro:
Have two monitors, A and B.
Open an image. It will open on A. Drag the image to monitor B.
Open a second image by double clicking an image in a finder window. It will now open on B.
Close images on Monitor B
double click a new image to open it. It will open on B.
Now take that image and drag it back to A. Close it.
Double click and image to open a new image in PS. It will now open on A.
Result:
Photoshop remembers the last monitor where an image was open, and will open subsequent images on that monitor, even if that monitor is no longer present. For example, if you open an image on your main monitor, then drag it to a projector window, then close the window. then turn off the projector. All new images you open will be on the projector, even if it's turned off. The only way to use PS again is to turn the projector back on, drag the images back to the monitor you want to use, then close them from there.
NB: To test your theory, I opened an image in Preview on monitor A, then dragged it to monitor B. Opened next image, and it opens on A. PS behaves differently than the system. This has always been the behavior of PS, from many version back, so this isn't specific to PS6, but it would be nice to be able to change or affect that behavior.

Can i Open a new page behind the current one in the browser?

Using Safari, if I press a link to 'open in new page' is there a way to have the new page open behind the current one? I can choose it on my laptop browser(windows). It's really annoying when I choose 'open in new page' and the current one is whisked away, then I have to minimise it and go back to the original.

There are other browsers available that have the tabs feature which is so much handier when navigating from page to page like you want to do.
Look at iCab (my favorite), Mercury and Atomic. All three have many more features than Safari has.
