Problems opening a New Tab in Safari from Bookmark Bar Folder

When I am in Safari and attempt to Open a link to a new tab from the Bookmark Bar that is part of a Folder on the Bookmark bar it does nothing.
I can change the preferences to auto-click for the Bookmark Folders, but then every link loads when I try to access the folder from the Bookmark Bar. Very cool to see lots of pages loading at once, but not what I'm after. Doesn't seem to be a way to just load 1 link from the folder
If its a single link on the Bookmark Bar that has not been organized into a Folder it does work.

You know what? - my Safari works just the same way.... but I'd never noticed before.
I've used apple-click to open single bookmarks from the bar, many times. But have always ( for no particular reason) opened a new tab first ( apple-T ) if I've been looking for bookmarks within a folder.

  • When opening a new tab in Safari, the spinning wheels appears

    Please help, I have very basic skills on a computer, so please make this simple and easy!!
    When I open a new tab in Safari, it freezes and the spinning wheel appears. It stays on there for a long period of time and does not disappear. In order to get on I need to Force closure in Safari and restart the computer. Sometimes this will solve the problems and sometimes it needs to be restarted a few times.
    This is really annoying and stops me using my mac.

  • How to put the focus on the address bar, when opening a new tab in Safari?

    Dear users, I'm using Safari 6.0.3 (8536.28.10) under OSX 10.8.3. Until recently, whenever I opened a new tab in Safari, the focus was always on the address bar, which was quite useful. However, since last week, maybe after an update (I don't know exactly), the focus of a new tab is always on the page, not the address bar. How can I go back to the previous configuration? I changed no options, it simply got sudeenly different, and it's quite annoying. Thank you for the help.

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
    If any extensions are installed, disable them and test.

  • Opening a new tab in safari opens an untitled tab while replacing the existing tab with top sites

    When I open a new tab in safari, it opens an untitled tab while replacing the existing tab with top. Then if I have other tabs open, the website url of the page I was on before I opened the untitled tab freezes and is shown on each other tab.
    How can i fix this problem? It is starting to occur with increasing frequency.

    I had the same problem and I suspect you are using Glims. I uninstalled Glims and voila, problem gone. I reinstalled Glims and the problem returned.
    Link to Glims uninstaller for those who have this problem http://www.MacHangout.com/dwnlds/Glims-UnInstall.dmg.zip
    I'll report the bug and hope they fix it soon, I like Glims.

  • Every time i try to open a new tab on safari 6, it closes and restarts

    every time i try to open a new tab on safari 6, it closes and restarts,,, it happened after the latest update

    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 to disable all extensions.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • When opening a new tab in Safari...

    Is there a way to keep Safari from opening up my recent searches window every time I make a new tab in Safari?
    I find it annoying that it always pops down And gets in the way of the bookmarks bar etc.

    Clearing Safari's history : Settings > Safari > Clear History
    Then close Safari completely and when you re-open it your search history should have gone (though focus will still default to the search box). To close Safari : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.

  • How to open in new tab in safari?

    Hi
    I'm trying to open link in a new tab by clicking Command + trackpad_click, but nothing happenes. While opening via "Open in new tab" from context menu - nothing happenes also. LInk is highlighted, but not opened.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you

    Note: If you deselect “⌘-click opens a link in a new tab” in Safari Tabs preferences, the Command (⌘) key shortcuts open new windows instead of tabs.

  • Links not opening as new tabs in Safari window

    I have set my Safari preferences so that when I click a link, it should open a new tab in the current window yet it never works. A clicked URL brings up a new window and I'm constantly merging all the windows into one.
    Any ideas why this preference might not be holding?
    Thanks!

    Unless this occurs for every link you click, the problem is due to the fact that some links are coded in the HTML to open in new windows. In Safari, those links will open in a new window no matter what you do. Only links that are coded to open normally (i.e. in the same window) will open in a new tab when Command-clicked. In other words, Safari is just not set up to override how a link is coded, as Firefox and some other browsers are. Safari honors the "new window" HTML.
    There is a way to get around this without using third-party software. It requires using Terminal to change Safari's default behavior. It's a very simple change, essentially just toggling a hidden setting to the "on" position, and shouldn't cause any problems as some "hacks" can do.
    To do this, simply open Terminal (in the Applications/Utilities folder) and paste the following command:
    defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true
    And hit the Return key. Quit and relaunch Safari.
    If you want to reverse this change, enter the following command in Terminal:
    defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool false
    And then the Return key.

  • The button to open a new tab is missing from each tab in Firefox 7

    I have Win 7 and Firefox 7 on my PC. I used to have the + to open a new tab on the right end of the open tab. That is gone now, though when I loaded Firefox 7 on my PC at work (Win XP) it had the = on the tab, before it crashed and would not open again. I have to run 3.16(?) on that computer.

    You can find the New Tab button showing as a '+' on the Tab bar.<br />
    You can open the Customize window and drag the New Tab button that shows as a plus sign (+) from the Tab bar on another toolbar and it will become a regular toolbar button like the New Tab button that you have in Firefox 3 versions.<br />
    If you can't find the New Tab button then click the "Restore Default Set" button in the Customize window.<br />
    If you want the New Tab button at the far right end of the Tab bar then place a flexible space to the left of it.<br />

  • Why does the Right-click - "t" delete a bookmark on the bookmark toolbar, when Right-click - "t" opens a new tab elsewhere. The bookmark toolbar use Right-click - "w" to open in a new tab. Please change this to "t" to...

    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.<br />
    The Organize button is the first of the three buttons on the toolbar in the Library (Bookmarks Manager).<br />
    That only works if you haven't closed Firefox.

  • MacBook Pro Freezing when opening new tab in Safari - MY SOLUTION

    All,
    I have been battling with a Safari issue for months; I have seen many postings of the same and similar problems.
    Problem when opening a new tab in Safari the computer completely froze up. Sometimes the curser still moved around but could not select anything, requiring a hard reset. Sometime the screen went blue and the computer reset on its own. Crashed at least once daily.
    I thought it might be OSX, Safari or Flash; however I upgraded each of those several times with no major progress. Note adobe is constantly upgrading flash and some recommended you should use their uninstaller before upgrading.
    One thing I noticed when opening a new tab was that the tab was a bit slow in opening, taking a few seconds with a hiccup to show "top sites." I got suspicious when I saw the lead picture of one site with a blank adobe flash warning showing up for a second or two... My system is a few years old but has a fast drive, lots of memory and is optimized for speeeed.
    MY SOLUTION>>>
    So I tried changing how the new tab showed up by selecting: Safari>Preferences>General>New Tabs Open With Empty Page. I think that worked but don't remember. I really missed the "top sites" preview. So I put that back and just killed the flash ridden site from the "top sites" (just open a tab, click edit at the bottom left corner of the tab then click on "x" for the suspect site).
    FYI - The suspect site administrator told the browser could be storing a corrupt cookie; I reset Safari and ran OnyX so am not sure if that is the issue but it might be a clue for others.
    FYII - I think the problem is related to flash implementations on some sites if that was not clear in the text
    Hope this helps.

    I don't have these problems as you described, but did you drag the Cookies.plist to the desktop and relaunch Safari an try to open a NEW TAP.
    What happens now ... is Safari handling opening a new tap from the TOP SITE window?
