Safari opens new page in previous tab

Hello!
I am a new macbook user (i got one just 2 months ago :)), but I was using safari for about 2 years now.
It all started with opening the links in new tab. I didn't know, that one could use command button to open a new tab, so i always went through "right click -> open in new tab"
then one day i didn't get that option anymore (just "open in new window") so i started to use command button to open a link in a new tab
but now the problem is the following: let's suppose i have 3 tabs open, and i want to open a new clean tab (tab 4) (its gonna be a direct transfer to the "top site" page). no prob here, i open it, but whenever i want to open in this new clean tab (tab 4) a new page (eg, google) it will automatically open in the previous tab (tab 3), tab 4 stays clean!!
how can i manage this problem?
i already tried to reinstall the latest version of safari, but it didnt help.
the problem is, its not always that i have this error, but it really drives me crazy when i do have it.
I am open to your every suggestion, thank you very much for your help!

Hi and welcome....
First, go to your Safari menu bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. Restart Safari. If that didn't make a difference, reset Safari from the menu bar, select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.
If that didn't help either, try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file. Quit Safari (Command + Q)
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 Tabs work, move that .plist file to the Trash. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder.

My safari opens new unwanted tabs

my safari opens new unwanted tabs how can I prevent it?

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed one of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates
if it's not already checked.

Firefox not opening new pages in new tabs

Just updated to FF 5.0 on OS 10.6.6. Got my pref set to open new pages/bookmarks in a new tab, but it just loads them into the current window.
I disabled all of my extensions (Download helper, web dev tools, Firebug, TinyURL generator, Yahoo mail notifier) and no dice.
Arg! What happened?
I appreciate any suggestions.

If you left-click a link then that link is always opened in a the current tab.<br />
You need to middle-click a link or use command+Left-click to open the link in a new tab.<br />
The setting in Firefox > Preferences > Tabs only makes it possible to divert links that specify a target window to open in a new tab instead.
You can look at these extensions:
*Open Bookmarks in New Tab: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/open-bookmarks-in-new-tab/
*Open Link in New Tab: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/open-link-in-new-tab/

When I click on a web page link, it creates a bookmark does not open page, need to right click and open new page or tab

My own problem not a system one

Won't open new page when I click bookmark, instead changes pages EVEN THO PREFERENCES SET TO OPEN NEW PAGES

Firefox keeps on changing pages, even yanking minimized pages back onto the screen and changing them, even though I have Firefox preferences set to always open new pages to accommodate links on a page or bookmarks.
I don't want Firefox to tamper with any pages, period. If I have a pages minimized, no way should Firefox be yanking that page up back onto the screen because it's "too lazy" to open up a new page to accommodate a bookmark or link clicked on.
It's extremely aggravating to click a link on a page, get a new page then, when I click the page to close it I find no page underneath, indicating that Firefox had changed the original page rather than open up a new page automatically to accommodate the link, etc.
What's the point of me in Firefox preferences setting it up for Firefox to open up new pages automatically when afterwards it doesn't?

Perhaps try the add-on Tab Mix Plus. It has a feature that you can force every link to open in a new tab if you like:
* http://tmp.garyr.net/help/#Links (description of options - see "Force to open in new tab")
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/ (install page)
I don't know whether it has any effect on bookmarks. You can open those in a new window by holding Shift or in a new tab by holding Ctrl when clicking.

Is there a keyboard shortcut to open the presently open web page in another tab? It used to be Ctrl + N.

Is there a keyboard shortcut to open the presently open web page in another tab? It used to be Ctrl + N. This shortcut now opens a Tab with the home page instead of duplicating the web page I'm on.

Firefox has always opened new tabs in a blank page, so I'm guessing that the way you had it before was added by an extension.
If you to to Tools > Add-ons > Extensions, are there any extensions disabled?
In any case, you can still do this with a mouse shortcut. Hold down the Ctrl key as you drag a tab to an empty area on the tab bar.

When opening new page on latest version, I get two Java Script error messages.

Mac Snow Leopard
Error Messages are:
[JavaScript Application]
Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80520012 (NS_ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND) [nsIFileInputStream.init]" nsresult: "0x80520012 (NS_ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://1clickweather/content/js/utils/filemanager.js :: <TOP_LEVEL> :: line 233" data: no]
I hit OK then:

A new tab opens by default as a blank tab.<br />
You need an extension if you want to open a page in that tab.
You can look at one of these extensions:
* NewTabURL : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
* New Tab Homepage : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/

Most of the time when i click my magic mouse on an item it gives me options like back, open new page, etc.

When I try to use my magic mouse, most of the time it won't open an item but instead will give me options like: back, open new page, open link in new window, and I am actually on top of for instance, the comment field in facebook...It takes several attempts of clicking off the entire page to get it to just open the link or respond appropriately...

the mouse performs a right click instead of a left click. Check your mouse preferences in the system settings.

Trying to open a page in IE-tab using javascript, script type="text/javascript" window.location.href="chrome://coralietab/content/container.html?url=0,myurl" /script Error:Component returned failure code:0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIDOMLocation.href]

I am trying to open a page in IE-tab using javascript like this, <script type="text/javascript"> window.location.href = "chrome://coralietab/content/container.html?url=0,myurl" ;</script>.Error occured : [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIDOMLocation.href]" nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame ::myurl :: load :: line 234" data: no] I have IE-Tab plug-in installed..when I open the same link manually in mozilla,it works fine and page gets opened in Ie-tab.

The only way this might be possible is by using the HostContainer object
to access the HTML page and do it from there.

Safari opens new windows 1/3 the size of the original window.

Safari opens new windows 1/3 the size of the original window. How do I make it open fullscreen?

HI,
Drag the bottom right corner out as far as it will go. Relaunch Safari. It should remember window position.

Taking forever to open new pages, if at all

I've used Firefox for years, and it was always THE best browser. However, the last couple of versions have shared a problem, and it's driven me away from Firefox. First of all, regardless of settings, Firefox insists on opening the last page that was displayed, rather than the Google News page that I've told it open...the preference page *shows* the correct Google News page, but, Firefox continues to go back to whatever was last opened. This is annoying, but, not a game-breaker.
What is, however, is that Firefox has become incredibly slow in opening *any* page, if it opens the page at all. When I attempt to go to a web-page, it appears that it's trying to open that page, but, nothing happens. I get the "loading page", and the url shows up, but, that's it. Sometimes, after several minutes, the page will slowly load; most often, Firefox simply sits there, with no error messages, no "Firefox is not responding" or anything else. I have the latest version of Firefox, along with the latest versions of Internet Explorer, Chrome and Opera; all three of *those* browsers open new pages instantly and go to the proper homepage, by the way.
I have completely uninstalled Firefox several times, and deleted every trace of it I could find on my computer, to no avail. I would *love* coming back to Firefox, as I still consider it the best browser, but, with the way it's working, that's not an option.
I have tried every single suggested "fix" in Mozilla support pages, and none have done a bit of good. Any other suggestions?

On the slowness issue, could you try these two diagnostic steps:
(1) Run Firefox in its Safe Mode.
Firefox Safe Mode is a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
''If Firefox is not running:'' Hold down the Shift key while launching Firefox.
''If Firefox is running:'' Either --
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
-- then OK the action.
In both scenarios, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Refresh).
Any difference?
(2) Disable the Flash plugin
Since Flash is used so pervasively on the web in the background or for menus, it can be difficult to disentangle Flash issues from other issues. So... here's one way.
Open the Add-ons page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins. Then on the right find "Shockwave Flash" and set the permission selector to "Never Activate".
Notice any difference?

BSP code to open new page in new window after button click

Hi expert,
I have a requirement to write a BSP code to open new page in new window after button click. I have done the same for opening in same window but not for opening in new window.
Can you please help me out with the code in which the page opens in new window and the menubar & Addressbar is displayed in hide mode.

Hi,
To add more with Anubhav...
onClientClick = "javascript:window.open( 'pop.htm' ) "
You can create a pop.htm page, and call the same in another page using the above code.
Refer standard BSP examples, SBSPEXT_HTMLB, SBSPEXT_PHTMLB, SBSPEXT_XHTMLB. You can run the default.htm pages and see what way you want to design your BSP.
Thanks,
Sreekanth

When Safari opens, the page exceeds the width of my screen. Any solutions? Have tried adjusting the font.

Click the green button in the top left corner of the window to resize it. If you can't reach the button, drag the window to the right by its title bar. You can further resize by dragging any of the edges or corners. Once you've resized the window, Safari should remember the size.

Why does Firefox get hung up, when opening new pages? I've tried disabling plugins and extensions to no avail.

Initially, when I open Firefox everything opens very quickly. However, after several minutes it gets hung up when opening new pages. I have close the browser and reopen it to start over. But each time it does the same thing. Works well at first then poops out. The trouble started yesterday. Before then, I never had any problems.
I've tried disabling all the plugins and extensions, but it doesn't make any difference.
