Project sporadically opens in a new window, instead of tab

Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to read my post. I have not been able to find this issue on the Internet or on this forum. I apologize in advance if it has been resolved.
I always browse and open often my projects from my desktop.
When I had Captivate 6.0, it would open a window and then, for each project, it would open a tab.
After the upgrade to Captivate 8, whenever I open a project, Captivate will always open in a separate/new window for each project !!!
Is there a way to tell Captivate to ALWAYS OPEN NEW PROJECT in current window, but different tab?
I tried opening a project from the menu bar (File > Open > Select project), and it still opens in a new window.
Thank you for your time.
Eric

Hi Eric
Actually, I'm rather surprised to hear that any version of Captivate would simply open the second or subsequent projects in the same instance but in different tabs. New windows are what I would fully expect if opening projects by simply double-clicking them from the desktop.
I never advise folks to operate that way. My personal view is to open them by opening Captivate first, then using the File > Open (or Ctrl+O as Lilybiri uses).
If you feel it should operate differently, please consider filing a bug report using the link below.

When I right-click a link, and choose "Open in new tab", it opens in a new window instead. How can I fix this?

So I have Firefox open, and I've tried to open tabs by right clicking and choosing "open in new tabs", but it opens in a new window instead. And yes, there are no problems with being able to open new tabs by pressing the ctrl t.

The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

When I open a link in a website it opens as a new window instead of just staying on the same page

In any website, when I click on a link it opens in a new window.this even occurs in google when I click any of the results it opens in a new window instead of just staying on the same page.tabs work fine however, it is just links on websites.

Did you check the search settings on the Google Search Settings page?
* http://www.google.com/preferences?hl=en
''Where results open: Open search results in a new browser window.''
You can set the browser.link.open_newwindow pref to 1 to open links by default in the current tab.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow (3)
You can set this pref to 0 (zero) to do this for all widows opened via JavaScript.

Links open in new windows instead of tabs.

When browsing the internet, if I'm using a browsing session from a previous day, when I select to open a new link as a new tab, it will open in a new window instead.
In my case, I put my work computer to sleep yesterday evening and started using it again this morning. Now all my links try to open in a new window even if I specifically choose to "Open Link in New Tab".
This is extremely annoying.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

Forefox won't open links in a new tab, they open in a new window instead.

I just updated to the newest version of Firefox (says 3.6.11 in "About Firefox"). Links now open in new windows instead of tabs in the same browser window. My settings are set to do this but it doesn't work.
Someone said the AskToolbar extension was the problem, but I went to Tools-->Add-Ons and saw that I didn't have that extension. Anybody know whassap? Thanks!!

Did you check if another extension is causing it?

FF opening link in new window instead of new tab

When I click the option to open a link in a new tab, it opens the link in a new window instead. What's up with that?

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
*Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
If you have many extensions then first enable half of the extensions to test which half has the problem. 
Continue to divide the bad half that still has the issue until you find which one is causing it.

IE11 restricted users opens links in new window instead new tab

Hello,
Have a problem. All restricted users, on several machines when try to open link in new tab, link opens in new window instead new tab. Pressing ctrl+K or ctrl+T works fine. Resetting browser setting didn't help. Red cross near resetting user customizations.
Administrators don't have this problem. OS: Windows 7 x64 + IE 11. Machine belongs to workgroup. All available updates are installed. Is there any decision?
Thanks

Hi,
This might be related with the UAC settings. See
this thread.
How are the restriction of the users configured here?

Safari keeps opening links in new window instead of current

Hi
I have an iMac, everytime I click on a web link in Safari it opens it in a new window instead of the current window. So after a few minutes internet browsing I have loads & loads of windows open!!!
I have the Safari preferences set to open in 'Same Page', but no joy.
Can you help?
Thanks

Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions
The Safari Preference Tab panel pertains in part to opening links from outside of Safari, e.g. Mail, or for using a command key to create a new tab. Within Safari, if a link is coded to open another window, it will do just that unless a command key is used, regardless of what's selected in the Tab panel.
With that said, for complete control over tabs, install 3rd party add-on Glims. Once installed, you'll find Glims' preferences as a separate panel within Safari Preferences (you may have to click on the directional arrows at the end of the Preference Panels to access it). In the Tabs misc panel, select "open link in a new tab". That will accomplish what you want, i.e. opening a new tab when a link within Safari is coded to open a new window.
You'll also find a number of very useful features in the other Glims sub-preference panel enhancing Safari usefulness.

Since Firefox just upgraded, every LINK opens in a new window instead of a new or current tab. PLEASE HELP

Since install of version 3.6.8, every link I click on opens a new window instead of the current or new tab. No changes in my settings were made. I had no problems until the 3.6.8 was installed.

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.

When I click images or links that should automatically open in a new window, instead a new blank window opens.

For some time now and after firefox has automatically been updated a few times, I click on images or links which are supposed to open in a new window automatically. A new window opens but it is blank with no toolbars, just an adress bar with nothnig in it.

mha007, Thank you. I walked through your suggested solutions and finally disabled all add-ons and restarted them one by one. The culprit seems to be ViewSourceWith 0.8.11. Interestingly when it is enabled I had to go to TaskManager to force Firefox to quit.
Maybe this information will help others. I don't know if the cache clearing etc helped but I would suggest that others start but Bringing up Firefox in Safe Mode (hold shift when you select the icon), disable all add-ons and then start them one by one.
Of course if you have ViewSourceWith maybe you should just disable it first rather than go through the tedium of restarting each add-on separately. To get to the add-ons when it won't open from the toolbar type about:addons in the address area.

Searches pop up in new window instead of tabs now

In the last couple weeks, if I do a search on my homepage MSN, the results show up in a new window instead of a tab like they used to. It doesn't happen with any other page, ie Google, Yahoo, AOL, etc. I contacted MSN and they say it is a Firefox issue.
I checked in my options and I have the option set to open new windows in tabs instead but it still keeps happening. It wasn't doing this a couple weeks ago when it didn't before.

Open sites in new window instead of the current window without having to rightclick

I want the links that I click on to '''automatically open in a new tab '''instead of overriding the existing window.
I want them to do this automatically, without having to click the right button.
This is how it worked before, and it's a much easier way to surf.
Suddenly, last time Firefox was updated, it changed, and now I cannot get the settings back to what it was, even when following detailed instructions.

Since the introduction of tabbed browsing in Firefox, the default has always been to over-write the currently selected tab with the new page when left-clicking a link or bookmark. You can open a link or bookmark in a new tab by using the following procedures or by installing and setting some preferences within some add-ons. You may have previously used an add-on that is no longer compatible with Firefox (look in Add-ons > Extensions for disabled items).
To open a bookmark or link in a new tab, on the link or bookmark:
*right-click and choose "Open in new tab"
*middle-click (press the mouse wheel button)
*CTRL+left-click
*See --> http://www.7is7.com/software/firefox/shortcuts.html (under "Web Navigation" section)
Some add-ons:
*Tab Utilities --> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-utilities/ (light-weight extension)
*Tab Mix Plus --> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/ (heavy-weight extension)
*Search for other tab related add-ons --> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/

Firefox opens new windows instead of tabs on my mac laptop not on my PC

Firefox 3.6.8 opens multiple windows instead of new tabs no matter how I select the options in preferences. This happens on my Macbook Pro but not on my Windows PC.

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]]
You can also try "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the [[Safe mode]] start window.

External links suddenly open in a new window instead of a tab

I am using Nightly (20.0a1) on WIndows 8, I use the program Teamspeak 3 and it used to be that whenever I clicked on a link it would just open in a new tab in the Nightly window that was open, but now it opens a completely new Nightly window. I have the box ticked in settings, I've gone through all of the about:config things I've seen online and nothing works, I really have no idea what to do. I just did something with envoirenmental variables which didn't help (meant that it opened a whole new instance of Nightly whenever I clicked on an external link) so I deleted the variable. Anyone got any suggestions? If it is relevant, before this problem started I dragged a tab from one window of Nightly to another (think it might've been the cause of this), and yes, I've tried dragging tabs around from window to window to fix this and it didn't work.

Thanks, but I already had it set to that, I've heard of many people with this problem and tried literally all fo the about:config fixes that I could find but none worked, I think it is some sort of assosiation problem with hyperlinked text with windows but I really don't know. Anyone who can help me please do, this is getting annoying. Keep in mind that I have Windows 8 when making suggestions also.

I have a problem a tabs each time I open a fresh webapge it will open up in a previously open page instead of opening in a fresh page. WHY? BTW Open in a new windows instead is ticked

I have two tabs up "facebook and download.com" now if I click on a fresh page I hope to see a 3rd tab open up but no! it just opens up in one of the two tabs I have already have open.
I have no idea why this is!

The setting in Tools > Options > Tabs: "New pages should be opened in": "a new tab/window" is for links that specify a target window to open the link in. 
That option allows you to divert such links to a new tab or to the current tab.
* Hold down the Ctrl key and left-click a link or middle-click a link to open a link or bookmark in a new tab.
* Hold down the Shift key in addition to the Ctrl left-click or middle-click to toggle loading in the background.
* Hold down Shift and left-click a link to open a link in a new window.
Links that do not specify a target window open by default in the current tab.
