Safari 7.0 does not open a new tab or a link in a new tab

Hello,
since I updated to Mavericks, I'm not able to open a new tab (cmd + t) or open a link in a new tab (cmd + click) in safari. A soon as I try to open a new tab, safari "freezes" an I have to use the "back" button a few times to make it work again.
Is there a solution in the settings, or di I have to to delete and reinstall the app?
Thanks for your help!

Hey Linc Davis,
I just did that yesterday (in my case it was 'glims') and after deleting glims, Safari now is working perfect again.
Thanks a lot for your help!

When I click on the "new tab" button it does not open a new tab, how do I fix this?

Left clicking or right clicking on the new tab button does not open a new tab. Common fixes have been unsuccessful. I don't know what's wrong. It's a recent problem, and even though I'm using an older version of Firefox this hasn't been a problem before.

Try uninstalling the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and the current version of Firefox.

Clicking the scroll wheel does not open a new firefox window

I'm running Windows 7 x64 SP1. I use the scroll wheel to click items in the task bar to open another instance of those items. Eg I scroll-click a Firefox or Excel or Explorer or whatever item in the taskbar, and it opens another instance of that program. I use this feature to open a new instance of FireFox rather than switching to the FF window, then using control-n to open a new window.
I just upgraded to FireFox 6 from FF4.x. Since doing so, scroll-clicking the FF item in the taskbar does not open a new FF window. It does, well, nothing.
I installed FF6 on a clean Win7 x86 (RTM) build in a VM. When I use the scroll-click feature in the taskbar, it works as expected: it opens a new FF window.
Things I have tried: A different mouse; updating video drivers (I doubted this would make a difference, but it needed to be done anyway, so I thought I'd mention it); running FF in safe mode (ie with all plugins etc disabled).
I'm doing a little experimentation right now with respect to x86/x64, RTM/SP1, clean FF6/upgrade from 4.x and other differences that might highlight why it works as expected in my VM but not on my physical machine.
I'm curious to know if anyone else has experienced this problem since upgrading to FF6.

Respectfully, that answer isn't particularly helpful. I have already demonstrated that middle-clicking (mouse wheel click) will open a new instance of FF, and other programs. This was true before the upgrade from FF4 to FF6, and is true on all my VM builds (Windows 7 default install with nothing but FF installed).
Nevertheless, I've tried shift-left-click, and it does not open a new instance. It will only open a new instance if I pin FF to the taskbar, which I have already stated I do not want to do. This new behaviour is unique to FF. Other applications (Word, Excel, Internet Explorer, whatever) all behave as expected. It is only Firefox that is misbehaving, and it is only misbehaving since the upgrade.
My issue is that FF has changed its behaviour with respect to middle-clicking since upgrading from 4 to 6. I'd welcome helpful comments about getting FF to behave.

I cannot open a new tab - when I restart firefox (or my computer), ctrl T does not work, and the "+" tab next to the single tab on my browser window does NOT open a second tab

Firefox3.6.18, running on WinXP (all the Microsoft patches), opens with a single tab. Clicking the Add Tab "+" or pressing CTRL T does not open a new tab, although I can open a new window. Also, when exiting from Firefox, my tab location is not saved.

Please disable or uninstall the Ask toolbar extension to solve your problem. It has a known incompatibility with Firefox. See [[Uninstalling add-ons]].

The wheel click button does not open a new window since the latest update (9.0.1)

Hi
I just want to report this bug in hope it will be fixed asap
The wheel click button does not open a new window since the latest update (9.0.1)
Thank you

Middle-click or click the scroll-wheel on a hyperlink has always opened a '''new Tab'''. Any chance you had an add-on that changed that action, and now that add-on is disabled or incompatible?

Even if homepage is selected it does not open in new tab

even if homepage is selected it does not open in new tab.when i opened Firefox the previous website which i opened is coming .please give me answer.

I guess it is too much to ask your users to middle-click the Homepage button to get their Homepage in a new tab.
I don't think Mozilla is even interested in "Enterprise" any longer. The new Fast Release schedule for Firefox doesn't meet the needs of the corporate community for long term support, so I guess they aren't valued any longer. Mike Kaply has written about this situation repeatedly this year.

Global Policy Link Does Not Open A New Browser Window

Hi All,
On 11.5.10.2 version
Global Policy Link which is located at the top of most iExpenses pages is
supposed to open a dynamic web page (Core policy manuals) on a new browser when
someone clicks on it. Currently this link, when clicked on it, brings the
correct page on the same browser.
I need the page to be opened in new window.
if not so, i need a alternate solution to open in new window
Thanks in advance,
Vali

Safari 5.1 does not open local html files

Safari 5.1 does not open local html files (with .htm or .html extensions). It fails on files that previous versions of Safari opened. Firefox continues to open them. Any suggestions?

Turn this option off:

When I double-click the tab bar, FF4 just resizes the window but does not open a new tab

When I double-click the Tab Bar, FF 4.0 just resizes the window but does not open a new tab. It happens when Menu Bar is disabled (not ticked).

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") 
Your plugins list shows outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.
* Shockwave Flash 10.0 r32
* Java Plug-in 1.6.0_03 for Netscape Navigator (DLL Helper)

Blank error message with ? appears and PDF does not open in Browser (IE11) when clicking link to open pdf. PC - IE11 Acrobat 9.0

Blank error message with ? appears and PDF does not open in Browser (IE11) when clicking link to open pdf. PC - IE11 Acrobat 9.0
Cannot access in browser PDF files unless blank box is closed and then website address is clicked on again in browser address bar and page reloaded.
Uninstalled Acrobat 9, reinstalled, still same problem.
Help please!

Yes I can it only happens in the browser..
I reinstalled Windows on my machine and started over a couple of weeks ago.
When my desktop started up I didn’t have Acrobat installed and clicked on a pdf file and the open with xxx dialogue box came open.
I chose a different program as Acrobat wasn’t installed yet so it associated pdf files with another program.
Later Installed Acrobat and couldn’t associate the pdf file with acrobat so I went into Folder Options and manually associated PDF files with Acrobat.
Ever since then I get the error when something is downloaded and opened in the browser.
Works fine everywhere else and when I cancel the blank error, highlight the web address and press enter to reload it works 90% of the time.
Not sure what to do..

How resolve???

Hello SnNick,
Rename the opm.db file.
Close the Creative Cloud application if it's running.
Navigate to the OOBE folder.
Windows: [System drive]:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE
Mac OS: /User/<username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE folder
Rename the opm.db file to opm_old.db
Launch Creative Cloud
Make sure that you unhide the hidden files of your computer or else you will not fir "AppData" folder.
Do let me knew if it worked or not.

Does not open in new tab

Just installed Safari 3.1 on a Windows XP Pro SP2 computer. Works fine except it does not open new links in a new tab as it is set in preferences. It will open in a new tab if you right click and select new tab, but should not have to do this.
Currently it opens in the same window. It seems to have changed since I first installed and set preferences, it was always opening a new window, now same window, same tab.

If you want to open a link (that is in a Safari web page) in a new tab, you need to hold <CTRL> when you click it (if you have it set that way in the "Tabs" section of the preferences).
You maybe confusing "Open links from Applications" (ie. links from an email program or the desktop, but not from inside Safari) in the "General" section of the preferences, with the settings in the "Tabs" section.

Option/command does not open a new window from bookmarks

I have an occasional problem: how come sometimes a bookmarked link in Safari does not open in a new window when I click option/command. or even shift/option/command. I have had and still have this issue over the last few iterations of OS X and Safari. Does not do it for all bookmarks just a few.

OK. A couple of other things to try in that case.
It may just be a corrupt preference file causing the issue, so quit Safari, trash this file and then restart Safari:
Hard drive > Users > Your Username > Library > Preferences > com.apple.Safari.plist
If that makes no difference, does it behave correctly when used from another user account on the same machine? If you don't have another account then use System Preferences > Accounts > \[+\] to create a temporary one for testing.
