Safari not saving pages in history when linked from GMail

Ok, no one else is having crashing problems with GMail. Fine.
How about this one... If you click on a link in a message while reading GMail, a new window will open with the destination web page.
Now, if you click a link on that new page, the new location will open, but Safari did not save the original location in the history - the Back button is disabled, and it's not in the History menu.
Now.. where's that "report bug" link...

can you view the source code ( Safari-View-View
Source ) of the main page, to see if it is the
coding that prevents the back/forward & history in
the new windows that are opened ?
I'm looking at an email in Gmail, and it has this link:
http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/ActsAsTaggablePluginHowto/versions/32
I click on it and that page opens in a new window. In that window, I click on the first link in the body, http://rubyforge.org/projects/taggable/, and that page opens in the same window, but there's no history I was at the wiki.rubyonrails.org page.
Looking at the source for both the Gmail page and the wiki page doesn't indicate any special coding to achieve that. Frankly (I do web development), I'm not even sure how GMail would be able to control the new opened window and how the links would behave - not to mention being able to not store a clicked link into the history.
Needless to say, this does not happen in Firefox or Omniweb.
Well, whatever the problem is, it still exists in the latest version of Safari - from http://nightly.webkit.org/

PDF not opening in IE 10 when linked from robohelp 8

It will be really great if you could help me with my query. I am using Robohelp 8. I have created a topic page and linked a pdf file to it as a bagge file so that when one clicks the topic in the TOC, the pdf file opens. When I generate the output, the pdf is opening in IE 8, 9. However, the pdf is not opening in IE 10. Please suggest a solution.

Sounds like a security setting, check if it’s working with FireFox or Chrome

Open youtube video link from gmail in new tab instead of same page?

Hi came back t fox after 3 years. Yesterday after 1,2 months of using a standard action was changed. I was in my gmail clicking on youtube notification to open video in next tab.
While it was late FF asked me would I like to stay on page or leave it - I chose stay. Now when I want to open video links from gmail it opens in current tab - I failed with research on my own, hence asking community.
btw browser.link.open_newwindow is set to 1.
Thanks in advance.

Hi.
For a laptop user it is essential to use only pad - for me late at night I would like to open youtube link in new window, one hand wihtout ctrl key, then double click to close tab not finding that tiny x.
This reminds me that problem comes from TAB UTILITIES addon -although I think mentioned notification is built in from gmail or fox.
Currently my about:config settings
browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external
browser.newtabpage.storageVersion
are set to 1
And it works as I wanted - so far.

Firefox wont open webpage when linked from another program

When linking from other programs, a new firefox window will open, but displaying a blank page instead of loading the page. I checked for firefox being the default web browser, but I cant figure out what other options may be important. It actually started happening when upgrading to Ubuntu Natty, did not happen when using ff 4.0.1 on maverick. Any Ideas? Thanks for the help.

First and foremost, please update Firefox to '''3.6.17''' by clicking '''Help'''| '''Check For Updates'''.
The reason for this is because there was a security breach at Comodo which is an SSL certificate provider recently whereby a number of fraudulent certificates were inadvertently issued. These allow a hacker to impersonate any site including online banking and the Firefox version you're running at the moment will not warn you that the site is a fake. The fraudulent certificates were blacklisted in v3.6.17 and beyond.

As regards your problem, you may have a corrupt '''places.sqlite''' file.

Safari not opening in landscape mode when opening links from mail

Hello,
Since the update to iOS8 I experience following: when using my iphone in landscape mode, opening links from the default mail app doesn't open Safari in landscape mode. I have to manually tilt the phone to portrait mode and back to get landscape mode.
When opening Safari manually in landscape mode, it works fine.
Anybody else experiencing this issue?

Hey there streatuac,
It sounds like the Safari app is not automatically switching to landscape when you open a link from the mail app on your phone. I would start by closing all the running apps on your phone first:
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Why is Safari not showing pages correctly ?

Hi there !
I'm having a little Safari 5 trouble.
Safari is not showing page layouts correctly, it seems it is not recognizing / reading css at all. Not one site shows correctly !
Whereas Firefox has no problem at all.
On Safari, I had diverse small extensions and Glims (but I had those for a while and nothing like this ever happened - only the occasional crash).
Also, I tried reinstalling Safari entirely. No change.
What do you think can be causing this ?

HI and welcome.......
If you still have Glims the latest build is available here.
http://wiki.machangout.com/howdoi/glims-development-build
As for the extensions, go to Safari / Preferences - Extensions. Turn that OFF. Quit Safari (Command + Q) Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference.
Try resetting Safari. From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.
If nothing above has helped, try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file. 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. Now launch Safari. If Safari loads pages as it should, move that .plist file to the Trash.

Mozilla is not saving my browsing history beyond the last 7 days.

On one of my 2 computers, Mozilla is not saving browsing history beyond the last seven days. On my other computer, it saves all my browsing history.
Is there a setting I need to change? Is there some other reason for the abbreviated history?

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

But i already searched the windows and looked for that file.. But its not anywhere to be found. See first while downloading i gave the open option instead of save. So after the completion of the download the file opened automatically in winRAR. I tried to extract that file then it gave me some error. After that i closed the winrar and searched for that file in windows with search option but its not seen anywhere.
Thanks n regards,

Layer selection not tied to undo history when Effects panel is open.

Has anyone else noticed a strange behaviour with undo history when the Effects Panel is open?
Try this:
1. Have the layers, history and effects panel all visible at the same time.
2. open an image
3. duplicate the layer
4. make a new blank layer
5. grab the brush tool and paint two brush strokes on the new blank layer
6. go back to the duplicated layer below the blank layer and paint two brush strokes
7. in the history panel go back in the history states and watch the layers panel
Now close the effects panel
1. in the history panel select the last history state
2. go back in the history states
Notice a difference?

I see the behavior and I'll log a bug report for it. Very strange, but good catch that it's the Effects panel that is the source!
27Prac, make sure the Effects panel is up, that is key. But I tested on both Windows and Mac and see it on each.

Safari not saving my cookies!

I installed the very very latest iTunes, and this messed up my safari by saving cookies. Google instant search doesnt stay off, youtube doesnt auto-log in. I cant downgrade my iTunes. I have already uninstalled, reinstalled, even deleted and installed Apple Application support manually.
If you could help, thanks.

same problem here, and even if safari 5.1 worked properly I couldn't use 5.1 due to the jerky scrolling
(fully updated XP system)
Some cookies work for awhile, but eventually they stop working, quitting and re-opening safari stops them all from working. Some cookies show up in the show cookies list and some don't.

Browser "back" button won't work when linked from Catalyst graphic

I am using Flash Catalyst in (CS5 Design Premium) because I am much more a print than web designer so bear with me.
I created a .swf file in FC, and placed it at the top of a "router index" page. I linked 10 "buttons" in the .swf, each to a different anchor on the "router index" page. Clicking on each "button" jumps to the correct anchor, so far so good.
The problem is, when I hit the browser "BACK BUTTON" in IE only (Safari and Firefox work fine), it does not jump back to the top of the "router index" page. It jumps back to a previously opened page (homepage or another page), instead of back to the FC .swf graphic on the "router index".
FC apparently only allows linking to "absolute" URL's, not "relative" URL's, (so my links to the anchors are "absolute"). I don't know if this is the source of the problem with IE. I have always linked to anchors previously in Dreamweaver using "relative" URL's, and have never encountered this problem.
I looked over the files that FC creates and cannot find one that I understand, or shows an editable file path that I can change.
I hope i don't have to buy Flash Builder. Right now I have Design Premium. And... I don't understand Actionscript.

Hi azaral
Take a look at Project > Quiz Manager... > Quiz
Settings tab. My guess is that you have DE-selected the "Allow
