Safari 8 - tab opens as a new window all of the sudden

So I'm using Safari 8.0.2 on Yosemite. I came across a bug (or is it a new feature?):
When I have a page opened as a new tab, sometimes, all of the sudden, this tab detaches from the main Safari window to become a new window. This happens as I move my mouse and read but I don't click on anything. I don't touch the keyboard either. it seems it just happens by itself randomly.
Anyone has experienced the same issue? I find this pretty annoying.
When it happens I would like to move this new window back as a tab of my main Safari window. I generally don't want to have multiple windows opened with Safari. I prefer to open links in multiple tabs.
I hope someone has a solution to this issue.
Thank you!

What you describe happens when you drag a tab out of the tab bar. Are you sure that's not what you're doing? Is the trackpad otherwise behaving normally? Are any other pointing devices connected, such as a tablet, either via USB or Bluetooth?

The right-mouse-click dropdown on links in FF4.00 has swapped the positions of 'open link in new tab' & 'open link in new window'. This is infuriating as I keep opening windows when I want tabs. I want to swap back - how?

Please swap them back!

the user jay_ff shows how to do it using the Menu Editor Add-on
1. Install the Menu Editor add-on from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/menu-editor/ .
2. After the installation, go to Firefox> add-ons (or simply use Ctrl+Shift+A)
3. Go to the Menu Editor "Options"
4. In the "Main context menu," simply grab the "Open link in New Tab" and place it below the "Open Link in New Window"
5. and Voila! You may also change other menu options if you want to!
I tried jay_ff method first and found that indeed changing the Main Context Menu did cause the hotlink context menu to change as well.

I am using firefox 3.6 due to compatibility with roboform.Firefox keeps crashing and when I click a tab opens in a new window don't want that.

This has been occurring for about 2 weeks.I need a version of firefox compatible with roboform.Very irritating that when I click tabs or links opens in a new window.

Firefox 4.0 up through the latest 10.0 version is compatible with Roboform7 or with the '''RoboForm Lite Standalone Extension'''. 
http://www.roboform.com/platforms/browsers/firefox - scroll down that page a bit
As far as troubleshooting your Firefox crashes, start with this: 
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox%20crashes#w_get-help-fixing-this-crash
Type '''about:crashes''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. 
# Middle-Click the hyperlinks to bring up each Crash Report page in a new Tab; each page may take a few minutes to load.
# '''Then copy'n'paste the URL of each of those reports into the message box here.'''
# We'll see if we can help you figure out what is causing those crashes to happen.
If you can't open Firefox or keep it open long enough to get the Crash Report ID's, even in the Firefox Safe Mode - see the section entitled - '''''You can't open Firefox because it crashes at startup even in Safe Mode:'''''.

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)

How do I set up an html link to open in a new window outside of the PDF?

I've done a lot of searching and cannot find an answer to this dilemma. I create press releases for my employer's website in InDesign, then export as PDFs. They appear as icons on the "news" page of our site, which the user clicks to open and read. Each PR has links to various pages on our site, but I want those links to open in a new browser window so that the user can still read the PR. I understand this option is not available in InDesign PDF export, but can I modify the link in Acrobat X, then resave? If so, how?
Thanks for your help.
Dave

The only way I know of is to use a JavaScript action with a link/button that uses the app.launcURL method where bNewFrame is set to true: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.150.html

How to stop tabs re-opening after firefox crashes.........when it crashes and I have multiple tabs open, when re-starting firefox all of the tabs re-open too. How can I stop this?

Firefox crashes quite often, especially when I have multi tabs open. I usually have to use CTRL ALT DEL and end the process as Firefox stops responding.
My problem is not the crashing........it is the re-opening of the multiple tabs I had open, when normally it is one of them (not the home page) that caused the crash in the first place, so I cannot re-open firefox until I restart the pc, because every time I do it is the same story. Firefox tries to re-open all of the tabs and stops responding. I have looked in options but nowhere does it allow me to stop multiple tabs opening after a crash. If this continues, I will have to uninstall Firefox and stick to Chrome.

Set the pref browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to 0 on the about:config page to get the about:sessionrestore page immediately with the first restart after a crash has occurred or the Task Manager was used to close Firefox.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes
That will allow you to deselect the tab(s) that you do not want to reopen, but will allow to reopen other tabs.
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore#Restoring_a_session_after_a_crash
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

Put back "Open Link in New Window" first and default, rather than "Open Link in New Tab" in Safari 6.1

I do not like the order of the context menu changes in Safari 6.1. I have become accustomed to using "Open Link In New Window" first in the context list, rather than the new "Open Link In New Tab". I do not wish to use Tabs. How may I remove this?

Well, I solved it just after I posted this. I opened up the Safari Preferences, then went to the TABS section, and set "Open pages in tabs instead of windows: to NEVER", and unchecked "⌘-click opens a link in a new tab". That set it back to open in new windows.
Tabs work if I am making quick tabs to refer to something. Horrible if I want to compare two websites side by side. So, by disabling the auto TAB function, I'm back to the way I prefer my browser to work, rather than the way something thinks I ought to use it.
Don't care about having all my browsers behavior the same. If I wanted that, I would have run those browsers.

How do I restore to a tab a tab that I have accidentally opened in a new window?

When you right on the tab header, there is an option there that says "Open in a New Window." This option can likewise be achieved when you left click on the tab header and drag it downward. When chosen (or done), and as a matter of course, the tab opens in a new window.
Sometimes by movement in between tabs, I will accidentally open a tab in a new window, separating it from the other related tabs I have already open. How do I restore or revert that new window back to tab form?

You can drag a tab back from that new window onto the tab bar of another window in the position where you want it. If that makes a window empty then that window is closed automatically.

Firefox initially opens new tabs as tabs, then switches to new windows

I am running FF 14.0.1 and the following problem has persisted through a number of versions.
Initially FF will open new tabs...Ctrl+t works, right-click open in new tab etc. all work fine. Sometimes tabs are now issue and I can have maybe 20 or more tabs open. Then other times we seem to get to some arbitrary limit, say 5 tabs, and from then on every new tab opens a new window. Any external link opens in a new window, a Ctrl+t opens as a new window, all new windows are single frame, e.g. you can't have a number of windows each of say 5 tabs, just the original window with (say) 5 and then a series of windows with only single pages in each and from which Ctrl+t only opens a new window.
A complete restart does sometimes cure things and I can go back to having different pages in different tabs, and then something...no obvious pattern...kick us into 'new window only' mode after which even if I reduce the number of tabs in the original multi-tabbed window, Ctrl+t only opens new windows.
It's really starting to get to me... I've trawled the support info and am wondering about a complete reset or even uninstall and re-install. places.sqlite is checked as being valid and I've reindexed it too, all to no effect.

Well I think the following shows the odd state FF has got itself into. So I...
# Located the profile folder
# Closed FF (14.0.1)
# Renamed (rather than deleted) the localstore.rdf file
# Restarted FF in safe mode
The main point then was that excepting the change in layout, that tabs didn't work at all; the option was greyed-out, the + tab did nothing and Ctrl+t did nothing.
The then stopped, deleted the new localstore.rdf and restored the old/orginal one and restarted. This restored my layout by still new tab is entirely gone...the option is greyed-out in the menus, the + tab dodn't work and Ctrl+t does nothing. Ctrl+n does give a new window. In addition:
# The forward and back buttons have disappeared
# The toolbars have disappeared despite showing as enabled in the View:Toolbars menu
Opening a new windows however give a correct layout, e.g. back and forward and toolbars appear and New tab is enabled, however, it either via menu of via Ctrl+t only opens new windows.
The start in Safe mode sadly didn't seem to help, but I will experiment further...
Images:
# Note the loss of back and forward buttons and no toolbar
# This is simply a Ctrl+n new window...back and forward arrows and toolbars restored
# This is in the 'parent' multi-tabbed window (with no back/forward etc.). Note how New tab is greyed out explaining why + tab and Ctrl+t simply doesn't work...doesn't open new window, simply does nothing at all

Opening links as new windows -- desired Safari feature

It would be SO nice to be able to browse a web page and somehow tap a link so that it would open in a new window rather than the existing window.

The thing I find annoying is that when I close Safari it doesn't really close. The last web page I was on comes back up when you touch the Safari icon from the home screen. Why can't I specify a 'home page' that loads each time I open Safari or just a blank page? It's annoying if I was looking at a page hours ago and then open Safari again and up pop that's page.

IWeb - cant adjust hyperlinks to open page in new window

Anyone know of a work around to this obvious shortcoming? ...other then hacking the html code? the website is: www.apexjiujitsu.com
My Links page is the one that I'd like to set parent=_ or whatever the value is for new window instead of same window

Hi all.
New to iWeb as well and am enjoying creating my website.
Having played with HTML in the past and dreamweaver for creating pages, remembered there is a way to do this in a non-iweb way.
The extra code that needs to be added at the end of your link is:
target="_blank"
Now how to get that in your iWeb page.
What I did (worked for me each time) - copy the page you want to edit from your iDisk in the Finder window to a folder on your mac. Make sure to make a copy of this file in case you want to go back to the original.
- Next open the page in Netscape (using ver 7.2). Pics did not show as I did not copy those.
- In Netscape click File, Open File. Just navigate to your page location and click Open.
One really neat feature I like about Netscape is that it comes with a built in web page editing tool.
- Click File, Edit Page. Editing window appears.
- Find the link you want to change and double-click it. It may try to open the link in new window, if it doesn't, don't worry about it. Or give you an error - close the error window.
- Go back to the editing window and double-click on the link again. You should see a drop-down menu appear.
- Click Advanced edit. There are two columns here - Attribute and Value.
Attribute is what you want - ie open in a new window (target) and the Value is what happens next ie. opens the link in a new window.
- Click on the Attribute drop-down at the bottom and choose "target".
- Click on the Value drop-down and choose "_blank" (usually defaults to this).
- Click OK and then OK again.
Close the file and make sure to save.
All I did then was copy the edited page to the iDisk folder wence it came from and overwrote the original (did you save a copy of the original in a safe location?).
Opened the page in Safari or any other browser and voila' - link now opens in a new window/tab.
Sorry for the long winded reply explanation. Wanted to be sure I didn't miss anything. ***Just be sure to save a copy of the original page your working on in a safe place in case you need to revert to the original.***
Hope this helps.
ps. Agree, adding an option to open links in new window should be put into the enhancements to come for iWeb.

"Open Link in new window" not working with OBIEE 10.1.3.4

Hi All,
Recently we upgraded from Siebel Analytics to OBIEE 10.1.3.4.
In OBIEE Go to Settings > Administration > Managae Interactive Dashboard > Select any Dashboard > Right Click on Properties tab > Open Link in New window:
This throws an error saying "javascript:void(null)".
In Siebel Analytisc the above functionality used to work.
Does anyone knows thereason behind this?
Regards,
Apoorv

Get Firebug and inspect the element. You'll see that it actually is this:
onclick="javascript:saw.runThis
URL('saw.dll?PortalProperties&_scid=To2OnvCVXpY&PortalPath=/shared/paint/_portal/PoC\x2520FINS&Done=ManagePortals\x2526Done\x253dAdmin');return false" href="javascript:void(null)" FF doesn't even give you the "Open..." options and all IE versions as of 7 show them but actually don't do anything when you invoke them.

Frames open in a new window

Hello there!
I am trying to do a homepage in dreamweaver. It is working
well just in Safari. Frames open in a new window on other browsers
and it is not what I want. I haven't linked anything to _blank. Can
anybody help me?
Dental V6

What? Each page is complete in itself. That's the thing you
are missing.
In that case, you do not need both page1 and page2 open at
the same time.
I assume you are imagining page1 as something like masthead
and navigation,
and page2 as content. But that's not the best way to do it.
Page1 and
page2 would both contain masthead and navigation and content.
They would be
independent pages that are both complete.
The way to do this would be to use -
1. DW templates to provide easy-to-maintain 'boilerplate'
elements on all
pages, or
2. Server-side includes to allow the use of separate
'component' page
fragments which are automatically included into each page by
the server.
You just do not want to use frames.
The decision to use or not use frames should be based on a)
your site's
needs, and b) your willingness to accept the potential
problems that frames
can create for you as developer and maintainer of the site
and for your
visitors as casual users of the site.
I am down on frames because I believe that they create many
more problems
than they solve.
Judging from the posts here, and the kinds of problems that
are described,
the kind of person most likely to elect to use frames is also
the kind of
person most likely ill-prepared fo solve the ensuing problems
when they
arise. If you feel a) that you understand the problems and b)
that you are
prepared to handle them when they occur, and c) that you have
a need to use
frames, then by all means use them.
As far as I know, the most comprehensive discussions of
frames and their
potential problems can be found on these two links -

Open swf in new window from parent swf

I'm making a gallery for some flash banners that I had
created in AS3. When I click on a "launch" button, I wanted the
flash banner swf to open in a new window separate from the parent
swf (the gallery). I also wanted the parent swf to remain open.
Is this possible and what would the code look like for
something like this?

ok, I should've also mentioned this, the flash gallery I'm
making is not for the web, it's more for just opening in a flash
player. So I don't really want it to open in a new browser window,
but rather a new swf window, if there is such a thing.

POSTURL opening PHP in new window (and shouldn't)

We are calling a PHP file from Authorware 7. Originally,
nothing would
happen when the php file was called and the server would time
out and act as
though the php file could not be found (with a 5006 error).
But we finally
realized that it wanted to open the php file in a new window
- with a popup.
We are using a normal posturl:
temp2 :=PostURL(NetLocation^"gSysSet.php","",30)
All the php file has in it is 1 line with a echo command.
Does anyone know why the php would open in its own window?
There was a posting earlier about POSTurl and php and we have
checked the
same things that they had in the php.ini file, but cannot
make it just
execute from Authorware and return a result - instead of
returning the
result in a new window. What happens is we still get the 5006
error in
Authorware because the result is returned in a new window and
opened in a
new window so Authorware isn't really communicating with the
php file.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
