Site opens a new window which is forced to a new tab, how do I stop automatically switching to that new tab?

I cannot right-click open in new tab. The link I click on is javascript so it just opens the javascript instead of the site I am trying to go to. So I am just trying to stop the re-focus.

hello ritkit, it should be possible to change the behaviour like this: enter '''about:config''' into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground'''. double-click it and change its value to '''true'''.

How do I stop automatically switching to calendar when a new invitation arrives?

In Mac OS Mountain Lion, whenever I receive an invitation via email, the OS automatically switches to Calendar once Mail has passed it over. This means that when I'm typing a note, my Mac suddenly switches to Calendar without any warning. This is incredibly annoying.
I have already gone into each of my calendars and ticked the "Ignore Alerts" option - but the problem still remains. I am reluctant to deselect the option in Mail to pass invitations to Calendar automatically, because then I'd miss lots of appointments.
Is there anything else I can do to stop this behaviour?

Hmm. OK. You have to appreciate I'm hypothesizing here. I don't use iCal and I'm not entirely sure what that switch does, but if you're game for a bit of (safe) experimenting, read on.
What I'd like to know is whether reversing that switch gets you the desired behaviour. If it doesn't, we'll just switch it straight back.
1. The switch is only a preference setting and can't cause any harm to your data or machine. Even so, it's always a good idea to backup your system before you mess with anything in case of unpredictable results, so please do that before trying any of the following.
2. Once you've backed up, copy and paste the following into Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.iCal NSDontMakeMainWindowKey YES
Press 'return' on your keyboard.
3. Restart the mac (you MUST do this).
4. Arrange (or wait) for someone to send you an iCal invitation or event and see what happens. If the same behaviour occurs OR you notice any unusual/undesirable behaviour of iCal in the meantime, put the preference back to the default by using the same command as above, but replacing the 'YES' with 'NO' and then restart the mac again.
Obviously, on the other hand, if it solves the problem, leave the preference as it is and let us all know so we can pass it on to others.

Opening an External Window which shares the same context.

Hi,
I have a requirement where I need to open an external window which shares the same context. (i.e, A window which belongs to the same application in a seperate browser)
If I use the following coding it only opens a model window in the same browser.
IWDWindowInfo winInfo = wdComponentAPI.getComponentInfo().findInWindows("NewWindow");
IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createWindow(winInfo,false);
But if I use wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().CreateExternalWindow() it could only accept the URL that opens a seperate application with different context.
Please help me in this regard.

Hi Anbu,
Dont feel bad that i am asking you more questions than giving you answers.
if you just want to show content or let the user enter data or something you can use always popup modal/non modal window.
External window is used to refer to other website or other applications in otherwords referring other url.
So your workaround would be relaxing your requirement and redesign your application.
This is my view point.Probably some other expert sdn'ers might have better one you know.
Success !!
BTW- if you decided to follow nagarajan suggession then you have to use URL generator to generate the URL.Using static URL is depreciated and also wont work in your Customer places.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

How do I stop automatic billing for my national geographic subscription for 24 Dec 2013. Thanks....mervin

Hey mervin9,
Thanks for the question. I understand you wish to turn off automatic-renewal of your subscription. The following article outlines how to do so:
iTunes Store: Purchasing and managing auto-renewing subscriptions
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098
Turning off auto-renewing subscriptions on a computer
To turn off auto-renewal:
1. Launch iTunes on your computer.
2. Choose Store > Sign In from the iTunes menu.
3. Enter your Apple ID and password when prompted.
4. Choose Store > View My Account. You may be asked to re-enter your Apple ID password. Click View Account.
5. From the Account Information screen, scroll to the bottom of the page to the Settings section.
6. Click Manage to the right of Subscriptions.
7. From the Manage Subscription screen click on the subscription that you would like to manage.
8. On the Edit Subscription screen, you will see the current subscription status and subscription details.
9. Click the Off radio button to turn off Auto-Renewal.
10. You will see a confirmation window asking you to confirm.
11. Click Continue to proceed.
Note: When you turn off auto-renewal, you will no longer continue to be billed for your subscription, however your subscription will continue until it expires.
Thanks,
Matt M.

I have left blank the option of opening in new windows. But it does this anyway. How can I stop it?

in options "tabs" there is the opportunity to have new windows when opening something. I do not have this one checked, yet new windows open anyway. I just want one window which I can hit return for going back.

See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow
*1: current tab; 2:new window; 3:new tab;
For links opened via JavaScript you can look at this pref:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar.
You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

HOW DO YOU STOP THE ANNOYING SOUND THAT HAPPENS EVERY TIME YOU OPEN A NEW WEBPAGE?

Thanks in advance for your help,

hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, then an addon (like noscript or autofill) is causing this - you'll have to change that in the extension's preferences...

Firefox opens with a window that says "Checking for compatibility for Add-ons" then it always opens 2 tabs... one with my home page and one that says Congratulations, Firefox is up to date. How can I stop it from starting that way?

Hi konee,
You should look at [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox this article about that specific issue] and the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved]. These should give you all the information you need!
If that doesn't work:
# Type about:config in the address bar
# Click ''I'll be careful, I promise'' if prompted
# In the Filter input field type ''startup''
# Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
# Delete the text string and click ''OK''
# Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.
Hopefully this helps!

HT1338 how can I stop safari switch into new tab?

Whenever I open a link in new tab, my laptop switches into the new tab, which makes me so angry. I tried so many times, but I didn't find where to make my laptop stay at the old tab even when I open a new link. I need your help.
Thank you

I'm not sure if this will suffice, but if you hold the Command key while clicking on a link, it will open in a new tab behind the current tab.
You may want to just open a new tab behind the current tab, without clicking a specific link. I have it set to open new tabs showing Top Sites. If I hold the Command key and click the Top Sites "button" on the toolbar, I get a new tab showing Top Sites behind the current tab. For me, this is equivalent to giving the new tab command, except for the tab appearing in front of the current tab (with the new tab command).

When I record an audio track, there is a waveform. When I stop recording, the waveform disappears and becomes a straight line. It also disappears from the track edit window. But the sound is there. How can I stop the waveform from disappearing?

When I record an audio track using Logic Pro X, there is a visible waveform which appears as I record. When I stop recording, the waveform disappears and becomes a straight line. It also disappears from the track edit window. But the sound is still there. How can I stop the waveform from disappearing? And can I do something to view it after it has disappeared? Anyone know the anser?

In Logic:
Preferences/Audio Set Recording Delay to 0 <zero>
This should always be set to zero unless a specific set of circumstances exist and you're audio drivers do not report position correctly.
On occasion, usually when importing a Logic 9 project, Logic-X randomly changes this to a negative/positive number. It's actually a bug in Logic, as it should always display the waveform.

The photoshop window is larger than my computer screen. How do I resize it horizontally so that the bottom is visible?

The photoshop window is larger than my computer screen. How do I resize it so I can see the bottom controls? I tried dragging the corner, but it only moves vertically. I need the horizontal to move so I can see the bottom of the window.

Which version of photoshop and operating system are you using?
On a mac, did you try clicking on the Green Maximize button?
On a windows os did you try the Maximize button at the top right of the photoshop window?

Safari 7.1 opens direct image links centered in the web browser. I need it to open them left aligned like before the 7.1 update. How do I do make it do that?

This is a major issue. I need the browser to open images left aligned like it did before this update. This is a major break to force this on people. There should be a option to click. "Check this box to open images centered in the web browser" and "Check this box to open images left aligned'.
Not that hard to do. Now I am forced to resorting to asking how I can force my browser to go back to how it worked before the update.

Anyone have any idea how to force Safari to work like I want it to?

Site opens a new window which is forced to a new tab, how do I stop automatically switching to that new tab?
