Safari 8.0 Open in New Tab not working correctly

Hard and Software:
MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008), 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
OS X Yosemite 10.10 clean install, iCloud enabled, Safari 8.0
Problem description:
When I open any type of link in a new tab on Safari, the link shows up in the address bar for that tab, but is not executed, so the tab page remains blank with the address bar filled with the link. Only when I put the cursor at the end of the link in the address bar and hit return, it is actually opened.
When I open several links in new tabs, this problem only occurs for the first tab, the subsequent tabs open normally.
Troubleshooting Performed:
I changed search engine, turned off suggestions, disabled javascript, cleared history and website data, changed tab settings and turned off extensions. And the problem remained through all these steps.

The described problem goes further: also when I type in any address on the address bar and press return, nothing happens. The address is correctly shown in the address bar, but is does not load the page. When I reposition the cursor behind the address in the address bar, and hit enter, it loads.

  • IE 11 - Open in new Tab Not Working

    When I click on a link that should open in a new tab (or right-click and select Open in new Tab), IE11 Opens a new tab but the screen is blank, the URL is about:blank and the tab title is 'Blank Page'.
    Windows 8.1 x64
    Internet Explorer 11 (Desktop)
    The 'Metro' version of IE 11 still works fine, it's just the Desktop version which is broken.
    I've tried all the fixes listed in the similar thread, but none have helped.
    IE 11 TABS NOT WORKING
    IE 11 opens blank tab

    Thanks, I ran a Command Prompt (Admin) and ran the following scripts:
    ie8-rereg.32on64.cmd
    ie8-rereg.64on64.cmd
    Both seemed to execute correctly, but haven't made a difference.
    Unfortunately they have never been a complete repair and now, due to security/obscurity have been made even less effective.  There was an example in here a while ago in which the poster helped me see that exploiting the original manifests might have
    been a better tack for a repair.  IIRC they uncovered some registry corruption which seemed related to mshtmled.dll but which was not repaired by registering that module and was damage which was only hinted at by looking at the manifest. 
    The poster's repair was found by comparing registries from otherwise identical systems...
    OMG look what this recollection has dredged up:  <lol/>

    Interestingly, I came across another oddity which might indicate the behaviour is some sort of change to the IE security settings. On a site I frequent http://www.makegamessa.com/ none of the links work.
    They've all previously worked and they still work in other browsers, just not my IE. If you click a link it is supposed to open the page in the current window (i.e. not opening a new tab), but nothing happens. However, if I have the F12 developer tools open,
    then the links all work as expected OR if I add the site to Trusted Sites the links also work.
    That sounds like Active Scripting is inhibited.  Scripting would be disabled in a Restricted security zone or in an Internet zone which was set to High level.  Scripting would be enabled in a Trusted security zone.  Scripting would be required
    in order to use IE11 Developer Tools since that is its implementation.  It hadn't occurred to me that that might provide an override for Scripting which had been otherwise inhibited.

  • Vers 7.0.1 command open in new tab not working

    This just started being a problem w/one of the latest Safari updates... the command line at bottom of safari window says it will open in new tab BUT it doesn't.  Help Please

    Hey Robert!
    I suggest that you try resetting Safari as part of your course of troubleshooting this issue:

  • Force links to open in new tabs not working any more

    Since the 10.6.4 update, safari on my macbook pro has stopped opening links in new tabs, and went back to the default of opening links in new windows. This is the old terminal command I used to change it initially :
    +defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true+
    It doesn't seem to work any more. I've attempted it several times. My Mac is also on 10.6.4, but I'm not experiencing the same problem there.
    Anyone else happen to have this happening?

    HI and welcome.....
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select Tabs in the menu.
    Click the pop up menu and select: Always

  • Open in new tab not working properly. How can I get it to stop opening new windows?

    Firefox recently updated and my + open new tab button was gone. I found and downloaded the extension to put it back on, which is now gone but never worked. I have checked options>tabs and it is supposed to be opening new tabs. I can click file open new tab and it still opens everything in a new window. I've loved firefox for several years but if this isn't fixable quickly I'm gone. Can anyone help?

    You definitely should not need an extension to get a new tab button!
    Do you have any tab related extensions now, such as Tab Mix Plus or Tab Utilities?
    Try resetting your toolbar layout by renaming the file that stores customizations. Firefox should returns to the default settings for toolbars and windows. Here's how:
    (1) Open your personal settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder
    Help (or Alt+h) > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
    (2) Switch back to Firefox and exit the program (e.g., File > Exit)
    (3) Wait a few moments for Firefox to finish updating files in your settings folder, then rename '''localstore.rdf''' to something else, like localstore-bad.rdf or localstore.old. Alternately, you can delete the file.
    (4) You're done with your profile folder and you can restart Firefox now.
    Any luck?
    With respect to links launching in new windows instead of tabs, the checkbox in the Options dialog should work but there is an exception for scripted windows that have certain parameters set (e.g., dialog style with no toolbars, or a specific size). Launching a link out of a dialog, which is not allowed to have extra tabs in the window, also will launch either a new window or be added to an existing window. Any chance the problem is related to those situations?

  • Open in new tab not working

    hello all,
    ever since upgrading to Lion I have been unable to get highlighted text in a text entry box (ex: FB status update) to open in a new tab whenever the contextual menu item "search with Google" is clicked. I have the safari settings checked so that holding command-click will open in a new tab but this only works for links and other text already rendered on the page.
    this is annoying my wife greatly, because after the search takes her away from the current page all text entered is then erased. I've tried working with the Glims safari extension settings with no success.
    If anyone has any suggestions, I'll gladly take them. otherwise, it seems I'll be switching back to snow leopard ...
    thanks in advance,
    Joseph Thomasson

    wasn't able to find a workaround, so I just reinstalled snow leopard.

    Sorry, but at the moment 'Compose in a tab' isn't yet possible. You'll always get a new windows when composing or replying/forwarding a message.

    MY FIREFOX NEW TAB NOT WORKING NIETHER WITH + NOR WITH RIGHT CLICKING ON TAB OR DOUBLE CLICKING ON TAB

    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    *In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    *In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

  • "Open link in new tab" not working with Safari and new Yahoo Mail won't open in new tabs.  Yahoo says it is a Safari issue.  I don't think so.

    Any ideas? 
    Works fine in classic Yahoo mail.  But in the "new" Yahoo mail, there is not even an option to open in new tab when I right click the message to be opened.  Interestingly enough, I can right click open to new tab on any other link on the same page that the emails are listed in.
    Anyone encounter this?  Have a solution?
    Thanks.

    From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.
    If that didn't help, try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
    Quit Safari.
    Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
    Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. Try Yahoo / tabs. If it functions as it should, move the .plist file to the Trash. Otherwise move it back to the Preferences folder.
    And check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. If you have any installed, turn that off, quit then relaunch Safari. Try again.

  • My Safari app wont open a new tab and crashes if I try, I've tried closing all apps and reopening. Its a new ipad air and only started doing this after I synched with itunes.

    Hi,
    I have a new iPad Air. Since I synched it with my itunes account - all my details have been uploaded which is great but Safari will only work with one page open. If I try to open a new Tab it crashes. I have tried turning it off and on again. I tried closing all my apps that were open - including Safari and opening it again. Not sure what else to try.

    1. Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data
    2. Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple Logo

  • Safari won't open a new tab

    I'm using Safari 5.0.5 and when I hit command+T or when I right click on a link to open in a new tab, it doesn't open a new tab, it gives me a white page and the URL reads the same page I was previously on. I can't find anything that explains why it might be doing this or how to fix it. I haven't changed any settings recently, nor have have my browsing habits changed. Help?

    Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
    Quit Safari. Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
    Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari, try tabs. If that helped, move the .plist file to the Trash. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder.
    Check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. If you have any installed, turn that off, quit then relaunch Safari to test.
    And from the Safari menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.

  • Links are set to open in new tab, not current tab. However since update to FF 14, they open in current tab. How can I change this back?

    I would like links I click on to open in a new tab, not the current tab. In the Tools>Options, I have it set to do this. However, since the update to 14.0.1, I can't get it to open in a new tab. This is for all web sites and email.
    What can I do to change it?
    Thanks.

    Thank you John99. I used a combination of your suggestions above. The "Reset Firefox" worked the best, after I did a System Restore!
    Thanks for your help.

  • How can I open a new tab not right next to the one I open from but next to the last?

    Before I switched to the current version of Firefox, the new tab that I would open, was opening right after the last open tab previously opened.
    Now if I have 4 tabs open and I open a new tab from inside the first one, the new tab opens as number 2 tab.
    Is there an option that toggles the opening sequence ?

    A couple of methods, first use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/61766/ New Tabs at the End] add-on. The second method involves changing a hidden preference.
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # In the filter box type '''related'''
    # Double-click on the preference browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent to change its value to '''false'''

    Sorry to disappoint, the structure of the tabbed panels is
    <div id="TabbedPanels1" class="TabbedPanels">
      <ul class="TabbedPanelsTabGroup">
        <li class="TabbedPanelsTab" tabindex="0">Tab 1</li>
        <li class="TabbedPanelsTab" tabindex="0">Tab 2</li>
      </ul>
      <div class="TabbedPanelsContentGroup">
        <div class="TabbedPanelsContent">Content 1</div>
        <div class="TabbedPanelsContent">Content 2</div>
      </div>
    </div>
    As soon as you change that structure, this widget (out-of-the-box) will not work.

  • Clicking link in mail opens a new tab, not a new window

    When clicking on a link in AppleMail, after a recent update, opens a tab in a random window or perhaps the top window in Safari.  Until this update, clicking on the link used to open a new window.  This is driving me nuts.  I am getting links from mail opening in a new tab in Safari windows I reserve for specific topics, or uses.  I do not want unrelated mail links opening and interfering with work in these existing browser windows.  Also, when I see the link from mail is not wanted, I too often close the window like I usually do, but now inadvertently close a Safari window with multiple tabs of important information, that I have trouble recreating.  Where did this come from!?  How do I change it so a new window opens? 

    I was having the same problem and finally figured out how to change this bahavior.  Go to Safari preferences under the 'Tabs' settings.  Make sure the field "Open pages in tabs instead of windows" is set to NEVER.  That should do the trick.
