Search results load in the current tab rather than the new tab where the search was started from.

Steps to reproduce:
Open a new tab
Using the search bar (for Google) within the page on the new tab, enter a search query and press enter
Quickly switch to a different tab
The search results will load on the different tab rather than the tab where the search was started from

hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...

  • I want new pages to open in an existing tab rather than a new tab

    We are setting up a public computer in our local tourism visitor center for people to check information on area lodging. We have created icons on the desktop for each establishment's web page, so when someone dbl clicks the icon, the web page comes up in the browser. When a second person comes, a new tab gets opened up, and so on until the browser is full of tabs. We can't get each person to close the browser or to close the tab he or she used, so we would like an option when someone clicks an icon for a web page, that the web page gets opened in the currently existing and displayed tab (replacing the contents of that tab).

    As of five minutes ago, ''every single'' link I click opens in a new tab. This includes clicking the refresh button.

  • Openning a form in a new tab, rather than a new window

    I have a BSP application that generates a smartform as a PDF, then renders the binary data to a new window using CL_HTTPSERVER=>SERVER_CACHE_UPLOAD. This is working fine for creating a new window. But, i want to create the smartform output in a new browser tab, rather than a new browser window.
    Can this be done?

    Disregard... I guess it is opening a separate tab after all in FF.

  • When I click on a bookmark stored in my bookmark toolbar it opens in a sidebar rather than a new tab. How do I get it to open in a new tab?

    I just set my bookmark toolbar up with my most often used URL's. However when I click on a bookmarked URL from my toolbar, it opens in a sidebar to the left on my main screen, rather than in a new tab. The sidebar is cumbersome because I have to scroll around to see the entire screen. How do I get the URL to open in a new tab, not in the sidebar?

    Opening in the Sidebar is the default action for bookmarks that are created via a "Bookmark this Page" link or button on a website. Make sure you use the many "Bookmark this Page" methods that are in Firefox instead.
    Right-click that bookmark and select '''Properties''', then un-check the preference for '''Load this bookmark in the sidebar''', and then click Save.

  • Why does Firefox keep opening new Windows rather than a new Tab in the current window?

    I have " Open a new Tab in the current Window" select in Preferences.
    Why then does this version (Version 4) keep opening new Windows, rather than new Tabs in the current Window.
    This feature worked fine in 3.6.1.3, but in Version 4, it is a frigging pain in the rigging!
    C'mon, Mozilla - time for an URGENT update ...

    That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.

  • How can I access the Tabs page in the current window, without opening a new tab?

    I like the new Tabs page. I'd like to open it in the current window, without the need of opening a new tab or window.
    Is this possible?

    You can make a bookmark and set the location to about:newtab to open that page in the current tab.

  • When searching a PDF, how do I get search results to  appear as yellow highlights rather than a blue box?

    I am using Adobe Reader 11. I am having a problem with searching PDF documents. In the past the search results were highlighted in yellow. Now I occasionally get a large blue box on the left side of the document that covers several lines and it is very difficult to find the word being searched. I am told that this is caused by the program that created the PDF and there is nothing I can do to change process so that all of the search results are shown in yellow highlights. Any suggestions for how to change the search options so that the results are shown in yellow highlights?

    As far as I remember that's how Reader always worked, and it's not related to the way the PDF file was created.
    Are you sure you were using Reader before?

  • When closing how can I close each tab rather than multiple/all tabs

    I click the X to close and the pop up choice is all actually the number of open tabs (3 or 4 etc) or cancel. When I use Internet Explorer I can close each one at a time. "close all tabs or just this one" until all are closed

    I don't know whether that is a built-in option.
    Perhaps you can get used to a different way of closing tabs... You should have a small "x" on each tab, or you can right-click a tab and choose Close Tab, or you can press Ctrl+w to close the currently displayed tab. What do you think?

  • Hotmail opens in new window (w/o toolbars) rather than in new tab

    Hotmail opens in new window rather than new tab. Problem only occurs with hotmail.
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://http://login.live.com/login.srf?wa=wsignin1.0&rpsnv=11&ct=1253879194&rver=6.0.5285.0&wp=MBI&wreply=http:%2F%2Fmail.live.com%2Fdefault.aspx&lc=1033&id=64855&mkt=en-us

    Hotmail may have changed their software recently to open an email message in a new window, and also to block the toolbars from showing in that new window.
    They may be using JavaScript to open that pop-up. Or they may have come up with a way to overcome certain Firefox preference settings. ''(I don't know which it might be, I quit using Hotmail back in 1999, when I took the "training wheels" off my PC and I quit wearing short pants. ;-)''
    1. Tools > Options - Tabs
    You can select '''Open new windows in a new tab instead''', and see it that works for you.
    2. The JavaScript Options extension adds options to Firefox's JavaScript Advanced dialog window (Content tab in Options), which allows you to override websites that suppress the Toolbars in pop-up windows.

  • How do I get safari to open pop-ups in new tabs rather than in new windows?

    Just recently I took my 13" MacBook Pro (Late 2010 Model) to my local Apple Store. When I brought it there they fixed my problem, but in the mean time they had to completely delete and uninstall Safari and Google Chrome off of my laptop. Before the apple store, my Safari would always open pop-ups and links in a new tab, now they open up in a new window. Does anyone know how to change it so they open in new tabs? The reason I need this changed is I might have unecessary websites open, and they would just be taking up space.
    Thanks for your help,

  • How does one open something in a new window rather than a new tab, when browsing?

    I much prefer how this used to be before I upgraded to the latest iOS, in this sense.
    I do not like dealing with multiple tabs; there are times that a new window is just needed.
    I am assuming that it is possible to open new windows and I just haven't figured it out yet.
    Thanks for any and all help!

    Thank you for your comments.
    Truthfully, I am shocked that this is the case and even more so that people didn't put up such a stink that Apple had to reinstate the old option. If I had to pick only one, which doesn't seem reasonable at all, I would choose the separate windows of old as opposed to the tabs.
    Thanks again for your help; I was really hoping that I wouldn't be disappointed.

  • In the sent mailbox how do I change it to show to whom it was sent rather than have it show me who it was sent from as this is always myself?

    In the sent mailbox the headings are Subject - From - Date. I want it to show Subject - To - Date. This would allow me to scan my sent messages for a message I sent to someone. Now it shows From and this of course is my email address which I already knew.

    Can you not change the columns in that window and use Recipient instead of From? There should be a small button at the end of the column headers.

  • Can i share existing albums of photos from my photo library with friends straight to icloud rather than having to create a new shared folder and then select the individual photos rather than a whole album??

    Ok to clarify -
    1. i want to go into my photos on my iphone 6.
    2. create a new folder in shared folders.
    3. Add an entire album of photos from my photo library rather than having to select individual photos.
    4. Share with friends.
    Surely the reason i have saved certain photos into albums already from my mac means i like the selection already. So i would like to just share the whole album rather than having to select all the individual photos from the album. Ive tried but maybe im being a doofus and missing something??????
    Any help would be most appreciated.
    thank you in advance
    Kris

    This is normal and is how Apple handles photos.
    There are NOT duplicate photos.
    Just as a song is in your itunes library and you can access that exact same song from a playlist,  all  photos synced to iphone are in the photo library and those exact same photos (NOT duplicates) can be accessed from the individual albums.
    It is working exactly as it should.

  • In Itunes 12 is there a way to view search results in the playlist view rather than the drop down menu?

    When searching for a song title, an artist etc in Itunes 12 it shows the results via a tiny consolidated drop down menu, however in previous version of Itunes search results would be displayed in the main playlist view. I seriously dislike the search drop down view because A) it only shows limited results B) It shows artwork C) It is confusing when trying to search your playlist when you are trying to organize your library.
    If anyone knows a way to change the search view preference please let me know how or advise me on how to suggest to Apple that they change it back or give people the option to choose which search result view they would like to use.
    Thanks.

    If you disable the Search Entire Library option (available in the dropdown to the left of the search box) iTunes 12 will not show the search results in a dropdown but will immediately go to a filtered version of your current view.  With the Search Entire Library option enabled, you can still get to this filtered view by clicking on the first entry in the drop down, which will say "Show <search string> in Library" or "Show <search string> in <playlist>" depending on where you start the search from.
    There are some inconsistencies in the search behavior, most notably that where you have the Search Entire Library option enabled and search within a playlist the dropdown will show all matches in you complete library (whether in your playlist or not), whereas the first entry in the dropdown just takes you to the filtered playlist view.
    You can use https://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html to provide input to developers about bugs, enhancement requests, etc.

  • When i open a new tab, rather than the curser flashing in the url space it opens a new search page. how do i get the new tab to open at the url?

    when i open a new tab, rather than the curser flashing in the url window it opens a new search page. a new tab used to open at the url - how do i get it to do so again?

    A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
    If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.
