Setting New Window and New Tab behavior in Safari for all users

I would like Firefox to open to the homepage I have set for our school district rather than seeing the tiles for all users.

hello mcdermk, you could have a look at this method in order to lock and deploy certain settings: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
in order to set a custom new tab page, you can put this line into the mozilla.cfg file:
lockPref("browser.newtab.url", "www.example.com");

Where is CS5 preference to use new window and not tabs?

Hi,
I prefer a new window rather than lose screen space to tabs.
Is there a preference somewhere to open new document in new window and not as a tab?
Thanks,
Garrett

You can use the "Float in window" command (available in Window | Arrange menu) - but this will work once you have created a new doc.

Configure "Always hide forms document message bar" and "Do not show edit warnings" for all users?

We need to do a mass deployment of Adobe Reader XI 11.0.3 with "Always hide forms document message bar" preference setting automatically set for every user so they do not have to go through the menu and set it manually.
Is there a way to configure this for all users with the customization wizard or another method?
We also need to do the same for "Do not show edit warnings"
If these are registry keys, which registry keys set these options?

Try http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/PrefRef/Windows/DocumentStatus.html?zoom _highlight=message#idkeyname_1_5647.
If that doesn't work and there's a configuration item in the preferences UI, do this:
Get regshot.
Close everything but Acrobat/Reader.
Take a reg shot.
Configure the setting via the UI.
Tak another reg shot.
Compare the two.
That process will give you your answer.
If there is no corresponding pref in the UI, then you probably can't do it.

I don't want Safari to re-open all windows from last session; can't make it stop. Set Safari preferences to new window and new tab open with blank page, but it won't.

P.S. Also cleared cache and History. Running OS 10.7.4 and Safari 5.1.7.

I hate this "feature", and it is another example of Apple taking functionality (and choice) away from the user. In this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4550
there is a description of it.
Resume in OS X Lion
When you open Safari in Lion or restart the Mac, Safari automatically restores the open windows and tabs from your last browsing session, so you can continue right where you left off.
Tip: To open Safari without resume, hold down the shift key (⇧) as you open Safari. Safari will then open with the options you selected in the "General" tab of Safari preferences, options like your homepage.
In Mac OS X v10.6 and Microsoft Windows, you can choose to have Safari automatically restore your windows in the "General" tab of Safari preferences.
99 times out of 100, I DON'T want to restore all the windows from my last browser session. It makes zero sense for them to take the checkbox out of the General tab of the Safari Prefs.

Why are the keyboard shortcuts for new window and new tab (N) and (W) instead of (W) and (T) when I right-click on bookmarks in my toolbar?

If I right click on a link in a page, the context menu allows me to open a new tab if I hit t on my keyboard and a new window if I hit w. In the bookmarks menu, these shortcuts change to w and n respectively. Hitting t results in deletion of the bookmark. Can this be changed so it is consistent with the in-page context menu?

You can middle-click a link to open the link in a new tab.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Why is it that Mozilla is too dumb to never include a feature, in any new version, with "new window" and "new tab" that copies our visited pages for us like "new window" on IE does?

Okay, so in IE, when you click "New Window," you get a new window... but not only that, what comes with that is all your previously visited pages from that session. It's helpful because then if you need to copy or compare something from one page you've already visited to one that you're on now, you can have them side-by side, or as in the case with tabs, single-click-by-single-click.
So why don't you ever make that simple but useful feature for your browser, Mozilla?

Right, okay, but we shouldn't have to do that if Mozilla would just get a clue, right? So my real question is this: Why can't Mozilla just make that themselves like Microsoft does?
Maybe Firefox works a bit better than IE except in this regard and with one scrolling problem I just discovered. Am I right?

Can I switch the positions of the "new window" and "new tab" under file in Firefox 4?

Would like to make the order under "file" in Firefox 4 the same as in Firefox 3. Very used to Firefox 3 order and used to open new window being the first link.

Look at:

New window opens on every EP page click for *some* users

Using EP 6.40 SP 13
The content is simple:
-A number of WebDynpro iViews delta-linked to exactly one PAGE each.
-A number of WORKSETS, each with one or more PAGES delta-linked.
-A number of ROLES, each with multiple WORKSETS delta-linked - some PAGES deleted based on the role.
Both the pages and the iViews have the Appearance - Size Height Type attribute set to FULL_PAGE.
Some users never have the problem and some always have the problem. Upon further investigation, it seems some client machines have the problem and others do not.
Would it be browser related? Something strange with the "Open in new Window" menu option?
Anyone have some ideas as to the cause of the problem?

Hi:
Thanks, it is not an error situation after all.
It was the Work Protect Mode, the clients production default is 1 - always open a new screen.
I suppose some users just use the system differently than others in a consistent fashion.
Thanks again,
Chad

Open application in new window and new session

The problem is if the application is already open and we try to open another application by clicking at the
shortcut, it opens it in a new browser but it does not prompt for the password.
We want the application to prompt for the password each and every time.
we use the following html to launch the application:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript">
function OpenUrl(url)
PopUp = window.open(url, 'X', height=768,width=1024, LOCATION=no, MENUBAR=no, STATUS=no, TOOLBAR=no,SCROLLBARS=no, RESIZABLE=yes');
window.opener = null
window.close()
return false
win.focus();
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY OnLoad="OpenMyApp('http://.......................')">
</BODY>
</HTML>
I would really appreciate your help.

There are several ways to do this.
One way is to create your own custom login screen and send the user to it instead of the application. Once they login, then send them to the desired application.
You'll need two user accounts to do this. The first is to lauch the custom login screen, and the second is to launch your application. To avoid two database logins, write the code in your custom login screen to automatically log them into the second account.
Another way is to create a different user account for each application. You may need to work with your DBA to get the accounts created with the proper permissions so they access only the tables they need.

How to disable tabs in titlebar for all users?

I want to disable tabs in title bar for all users, because looks ugly http://i57.tinypic.com/33nkm77.png
I type to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref\local-settings.js
pref("browser.tabs.drawInTitlebar", false);
It doesn't work, but any other options in this file works fine.
Setting with about:config works fine, but only for currrent user.

I think that preference refers to what happens when you have Firefox maximized and you do not display either the classic menu bar or the title of the page in that area: the tabs slide up to the top.
I agree the double-high blue area is irritating. To modify that, I think you need to do one of these:
* Change the Windows XP color theme (I always preferred Silver)
* Create a custom style rule to modify the appearance of the tab bar (so the blue does not show through it)
* Find a Firefox theme that fixes that area (e.g., [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/themes/])
I haven't researched the second and third options in detail.

Setting default printing presets for all users, esp. guest user

i want to set black/white, two sided printing as the default for all users (9 macs, 30 users on each).
i set up and save this preset as admin, and copy the files
com.apple.print.custompresets.plist
com.apple.print.custompresets.forprinter.nameofprinter.plist
from admin home/library/preferences to the other users preferences-folders.
but logging on to any of the other users, i still dont even get the new preset listed.
i tried entering cups, but there, only the printer setup is editable.
especially i would like to set the custom preset as default for the guest account, without being wiped every log off.
is there any alternative way to do this? i dont want to manually log in to the 300 accounts to change this.

You can do that for new users via a file user.js in the default template folder for new profiles.
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\profile\
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/user.js_file

Is there a simple way to set the homepage for all users?

We are in a high school environment with 500 plus computers and would like to set the school newspaper website as the default homepage for all users of all computers.

Use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify default values.
Place a file local-settings.js in the defaults\pref folder where you also find the file channel-prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // use this to disable the byte-shift
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
You can use these functions in mozilla.cfg:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

How can I set up firefox (latest version) to default to opening things in a new window and not a new tab.

there is an option in firefox (latest version)(for windows7) to 'open new windows in a tab instead' what I want to do is to 'open new tabs in a window instead' Is this possible and how do I go about it

Hi,
There is an option called "browser.link.open_newwindow" which when set to 2 should open links, that would normally open in a new window, in a new window.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.link.open_newwindow.
I can't think of an add-on that will do this for you.
You can always right click on the link and choose "Open Link in new Window" :-).
