Preferences: Tab vs New Window

My preferences is noted as "Open Links from an applications - in a new tab in the current window". It continues to open a new window. Does anyone have a similar problem or knows how to fix it? This is one reason I used Firefox instead of this, but I like Safari better because of its speed.

I found a response to this from one of the users and he had provided a script to run in the terminal which resolved my problem. I have been trying to find an answer to this question for more than a year and Apple never responded to my reports.

    If you are searching via the Search Bar on the Navigation Toolbar, this preference can be changed to have searches there open in a Tab.
    Type '''about:config''' in the Address Bar and hit Enter. Then answer "I'll be careful". Type this pref in the Search at the top.

  • How can I create an icon for "New Tab" (not "new window") on the toolbar?

    I want to have an icon for New Tab on the toolbar. I cannot find such icon on the Customize option.
    Is this possible?
    BTW I tried to check options-->tabs-->open new windows in a new tab instead, but this does not help and when clicking the "new Window" icon on the toolbar, indeed a new window - and not a new tab - opens.
    Thanks.

    You can open the Customize window and drag the New Tab (+) button form the tab bar on another toolbar. It will become a regular New Tab toolbar button.
    Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"

  • New Tab above New Window in FF 3.x

    Hi, so I recently used Firefox 4+ for the first time, and I like the way it puts the "Open link in new tab" above the "Open link in new window" (when one right-clicks on a link). It takes a bit of getting used to at first, but it's actually a lot more efficient and practical.
    But here's the issue - I'm often going back and forth between my one computer which has the newer version (7 I believe - they're coming fast these days!) and my other computer which still has FF 3.6. It gets confusing switching back and forth.
    So is there a way to adjust the settings of FF 3.6 to put the "new tab" above "new window" (like it is in FF 4+)?
    Of course I know the easy reply is to go ahead and upgrade everywhere to the newest version, but this computer uses Linux and I'm happy enough with the overall setup, don't wanna mess with new repositories and everything, so I'll probably stick with this version until I upgrade the OS in another year or so.
    So does anyone know a way that this can be adjusted?
    Thanks :-)

    You can change the order in all menus except the Bookmarks menu with "Menu Editor"

  • When opening new tab, a new window opens instead; 2nd window does allow you to open new tab

    boot up firefox, click to open a new tab, a new window opens up instead; in the original window, if you keep clicking to open a new tab it opens it in the 2nd window.

    I'm having this problem, but I don't have the textarea cache add-on, nore the MozBar 2.3.
    Now that I think about, I did just update an add-on (imtranslator), maybe that's what causing this to happen for me..
    edit: yep, disabling it fixed the problem for me.

    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.

  • IE11 opening 'New Tabs' as 'New Window'

    //Posted already over at Answers Microsoft who then requested me to post here.
    Original Thread: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie11-windows_7/ie11-opening-new-tabs-as-new-window/9836eb86-9879-46e6-8b86-3d2e8c272f00
    Hi,
    I'm currently having an issue with a few computers that have been updated via WSUS. It appears that the IE11 browsers are opening "New Tabs" as "New Windows" and I haven't been able to figure out a resolution as of yet.
    Computers are all Windows 7 x86, running IE11 Ver 11.0.9600.17691 / Update Ver: 11.0.17 (KB3032359)
    I've tested multiple websites to make sure it's not just a website causing the problem. All websites are doing it.
    I've reinstalled IE11 and even tried to 'repair' IE11 but this hasn't resolved it. No issues found.
    I've uninstalled all virus/spyware protection (McAfee)
    I've reset Internet Explorer 11 through 'Advanced' in options.
    I've restored advanced settings
    I've checked "Tabbed Browsing Settings" and they're all set to open in a new tab, not a window.
    Does anyone have any suitable solutions? trying to avoid rebuilds (though I know this fixes the issue)
    Cheers,
    Matt.
    Additional information:
    Computers are on a domain network
    Last time this worked fine was before the deployment of IE11 (we were on IE9)
    No changes were made prior to deployment via WSUS.
    Clean Boot didn't resolve my issue.
    Turned off and back on via Windows Features. Didn't resolve.
    SFC /ScanNow didn't find any problems.

    Hi Matty344,
    "I'm currently having an issue with a few computers that have been updated via WSUS"
    Do you mean all the machines share the same symptom or just part of them ?
    "Last time this worked fine was before the deployment of Internet Explorer11 (we were on IE9)"
    Do you mean the issue occurred after we upgrade to Internet Explorer 11 from Internet Explorer9 or it worked correctly until last updates ?
    How did you get the Internet Explorer 11 installation package ?Is the Internet Explorer 11 a customed package ?
    Have you configured any group policy of Internet Explorer in the domain ?
    Compare you symptom with this link:
    Links open in new windows instead of new tabs in Internet Explorer 11 or Internet Explorer 10
    http://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2937063
    If the issue persists ,please take the following steps to have a troubleshoot .
    1.Run "iexplore.exe -extoff" to open the Internet Explorer 11 without add-ons to have a check.
    2.If the issue occurred after we upgrade the Internet Explorer ,manually check for updates of the machine to get all the latest updates of the machine .
    3.Remove the machine out of the domain then restart to have a check .If the issue persists,download the installation again from the following link ,run the following command line to uninstall the Internet Explorer 11 then restart the machine ,install the Internet
    Explorer 11 to have a check.
    "FORFILES /P %WINDIR%\servicing\Packages /M Microsoft-Windows-InternetExplorer-*11.*.mum /c "cmd /c echo Uninstalling package @fname && start /w pkgmgr /up:@fname /quiet /norestart"
    Internet Explorer 11 for Windows 7(Please download the 32 bit version for your machine .)

  • Where is CS5 preference to use new window and not tabs?

    Hi,
    I prefer a new window rather than lose screen space to tabs.
    Is there a preference somewhere to open new document in new window and not as a tab?
    Thanks,
    Garrett

    You can use the "Float in window" command (available in Window | Arrange menu) - but this will work once you have created a new doc.
