T431s Middle click not working (open new tabs in browser)

Hi, I have a brand new t431s here, and I can not get the track point working as expected (and as on all previouse thinkpads since the i-series):
expected behaviour:
middle-click on link -> new tab
middle click&hold and trackpoint-> scrolling
I am not able to find the setting which enable this behaviour.
Any help would be appreciated.
cheers

What OS?

I am clicking on the open new tab page but nothing happens I am on the latest version of Firefox

as before the open new tab does not work i have checked the other answers to this question and none of them apply i have just updated to the latest version of firefox, every time i do this however I then get problems with Firefox not responding plus Identity Safe does not appear on the toolbar anywhere and I used this all the time to control websites and passwords

Hi,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
If you would like to take a listing of the add-ons, important preferences/settings etc. to quickly replicate the previous profile, please open '''Troubleshooting Information''' via '''Help''' ('''Alt''' + '''H'''), '''Copy all to clipboard''' and paste it into MS Office Excel, or OpenOffice/LibreOffice Calc, or notepad. However, it would be a good idea to check for the existence of the issue immediately after the reset.
After the reset, you can then [https://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Toolbar-Norton-Identity/Firefox-17-Support-for-Norton-Toolbar/td-p/853416 update Norton products]. Please also see the workaround.

T540p and Middle-Click not working

So, I just got my T540p 2 days ago, and while getting everything set up, I realize that a few things are off with the clickpad. For a while, most clicks were not being registered: left, right, or middle. It could take some furious clicking just to get one click registered. Next, no matter what settings I set, I could not get middle click to register as a middle-click - they were always taken as left clicks. And finally, I could not get right-click to register unless I set button size to either Large or Full. At standard, right-clicks were seen as left-clicks.
Here's the rub - I think I've narrowed it down to the driver. After submitting a warranty request yesterday, I started playing with it some more, and here is what I've found:
After a few full shutdowns and reboots, responses got better: Clicks were more reliably registered, and right-clicks worked, even on Standard button size in the settings. However, middle-clicks were still impossible. Any attempt at a middle-click was registered as a left-click. This was with the Lenovo driver installed.
After uninstalling the Lenovo driver, middle clicks started working. Unfortunately, mouse speed is painfully slow without the Lenovo driver installed, so this is not much of an option. I tried downloading a driver directly from Synaptics, and that did not seem to help the mouse speed - this driver doesn't seem to add the UltraNav tab to the mouse settings which allows me to increase the speed of the TrackPoint. However the Synaptics driver (which claims to be older than the Lenovo driver) did allow middle-clicks.
Next, I re-installed the Lenovo driver and after the first reboot clicks were back to being unreliable and middle-clicks vanished again. After a 2nd reboot, left and right- clicks became better, but still no middle clicks.
So, I've determined that it's not a hardware issue anymore, but a driver issue. I now have a box on the way to ship my laptop back - but since it's not a hardware problem, I don't see the need to send the laptop back.
Does anyone have any insight on what I should do? Send it back and let Lenovo attempt to change settings/etc. to get my middle-click working? Or patiently wait for a driver update that may or may not fix the middle-click?
I will say that I am very impressed at the speed of getting the 'warranty fix' box, so THANK YOU to Lenovo for an amazing response there. I'm just getting frustrated with the clickpad issues.

I have the exact same question, prior to UltraNav driver installation, you can simply Tap-to-click while using the Trackpoint. After installing the driver, you MUST click down on the Clickpad to send a click while using the Trackpoint. This is such a simple software solution that has seriously made me regret my decision to by a newer Thinkpad. The new xx50 series Clickpad is interchangeable with the xx40 series but I am not spending nearly 70$ to solve a simple software problem!
I recall that back in the days of the X200/X201 there were a decent amount of tips/tricks we could do via the registry to enable "hidden" features of the Synaptics touchpad/trackpoint combo. Is there a similar "hack" we could do to enable the tap-to-click functionality while using the Trackpoint?

Clicking on "+" to open new tab doesn't work

Closeing firefox and restarting doesn't fix problem. Using firefox 3.6 on windows xp, I don't want to upgrade to newer version, since there doesn't not appear to be a navigation bar on the newer version.

Thank you for your response Cor-el. In fact the Ask.com toolbar had recently appeared on my browser, and I immediately turned it off since I didn't want it. It's frustrating how they can sneak these things in on us sometimes in spite of our attempts to keep so much clutter out. So this issue of the new tab button not working anymore in Firefox 3.6, even after turning off the Ask.com toolbar, it was finally enough to make me cave in to the constant badgering to upgrade to Firefox 4.0 ... Christ these endless upgrades are annoying ... Adobe Acrobat Reader has to be the worst offender in this category. Anyway, after installing Firefox 4.0, there was a terrible glitch, which was an error message box that popped up every single time I clicked on any link on any page. This was the last straw. One can only bear so much, then one is forced to look for new answers. I installed Google Chrome. Naturally the interface, look and feel are quite different from Firefox, but after less than 24 hours with Google Chrome, I am really liking it. It is truly a step up in the browsing experience it provides; so fast, and the way it handles bookmarks is so nice; even sophisticated. Oh, and about the relentless nagging upgrade messages from all manner of software that have caused us all so much suffering over the years, Google Chrome upgrades itself automatically behind the scenes without any need to bother you about such trifle maintenance issues. I recommend it to everyone. Step up to a new enlightened browsing experience People! Try Google Chrome and you'll be glad you did!

Click on URL in email, open new tab in browser, BUT stay in same Thunderbird email

There used to be a way to click on a link (URL) in an email that would open a new tab/window in the browser (Firefox), BUT stay in Thunderbird - similar to what Ctrl-Left-click does in Google search results in Firefox.
My work flow is usually to open several links, staying in Thunderbird and then when I'm done - go to Firefox to look at them all. E.g. I get a stackexchange weekly summary email, click on all the topics that look interesting and then, when I'm done selecting them, go look at them in Firefox.
I don't want to be forced to jump back and forth for every link, one at a time. This used to work.
Is there a preference or add-on that will do this - or anything else?

I'm not aware of any complete reference to all preferences that offer a full explanation of what each does, what the Value means and how to use in a problem-oriented fashion.
But the list below does help:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Category:Preferences
http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config
http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config_entries
http://www-archive.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html#ui
http://preferential.mozdev.org/preferences.html
there is also a postscript module used by eg: linux
http://kb.mozillazine.org/PostScript_Module
Margins are set up here:
File > Page Setup > Margins & header/Footer
or via File > Print Preview > Page Setup button
Helpful hints:
if you have Margins (millimeters)
and set eg: Bottom margin as 20.0
then look in config editor, you will see:
print.printer_XX.print_margin_bottom; Value = 0.787500023841858
This seemed odd at first. All Values in config were being converted to inches represented in a decimal format.
If you ever need to change the margins from millimeter to inches:
Print.printer_xx.print_paper_size_unit Value: = 1
Change the Value to 0 (zero) to get inches
If you change the Value to 0 for inches and then reopen:
File > Page Setup > Margins & header/Footer
you will see the Bottom margin has auto changed from 20.0 (mm) to 0.8 (inches rounded up), so although the display is different in File > Page Setup > Margins & header/Footer tab, the actual information in config preferences remains unchanged as it is saved in decimal inches format used by US as default.
if using millimeters then the paper size would be A4 210 x 297 mm.
Although looking in the config preferences it will say paper width 8.50 and paper height 11.00.
Usually, you can change the paper size when you select to Print and look in Print Properties. I'm in UK and using millimeters so get A4; the US uses Letter 8½ x 11 inches.
So I can see how it could be confusing to anyone using millimeters and then sees, what appears like wrong data in preferences.

How can I remove annoying click sound when opening new tab?

I've already goggled this and it said something about no-script (which I'm not running) and nothing else that sounded remotely close to my issue. Basically anytime I open a new tab (which I do tons of) I get the most obnoxious loud click type sound and it drives me up the walls. I can simply mute the whole browser but then many media players and the like play the audio directly through the browser instead of adobe flash or the like. I just learned it also plays the most annoying sound in the world when I use the spellcheck feature...
Any help on removing this terrible sound file from Firefox would be greatly appreciated... I would hate to have to start using chrome just to get away from this sound.
The only add-ons I use are Adblock Plus 2.6.3, Advanced SystemCare Surfing Protection 1.0 (I assume it installed itself with the actual ASC program), and Leechblock 0.6.6.
All my plugins are off by default unless I manually turn them on the add-on manager window when I start up firefox and the sound plays before I ever activate them.

Did this start when you installed Firefox 30, in other words, Firefox 29 and earlier was fine?
In case one of your extensions is involved, could you test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?

Mouse wheel click doesn't open new tabs correctly?

Since upgrading to FF4, whenever I mouse click a bookmark on my bookmark toolbar, it will open a blank new tab with the URL in the address line, but will not load the page. I have to select the URL in the address line and press enter, or press the green arrow button. Shouldn't web pages automatically load once I mouse wheel click on a bookmark?
any suggestions?

Alan McClean has alluded to the cause of this behaviour but I think others would benefit from a full explanation because it doesn't appear to be documented. I might add that Business Objects support were no help at all on this (they suggested I had a problem with my mouse, PC or network which I don't).
Normal response to a mouse double-click on a document name in InfoView XI3:
The double-click action performs the default action on the right-click list. This is the option you see in bold when you right-click on a document name. The default action is 'View' document. So when you double-click on the document it opens for viewing.
In CMC, under Applications>InfoView if you set 'Default viewing action on listing page:' to 'View the latest successful instance of the object' then the double-click behaviour changes:
The double-click action now tries to open the latest successful instance of a document. I found that any document in my Inbox or any document with instances (e.g. scheduled report) will still open for viewing using the double-click. For any other document the double-click fails silently. I assume this is because there simply isn't a latest instance to open.
Conclusions:
1. Don't use the 'View the latest successful instance of the object'. I have reset my CMC setting back to 'View the object'.
2. I think Business Objects should change the double-click behaviour so that rather than fail silently it opens the document.

L540 Middle click not working

Hello
today I received my L540 and I'm installing all the drivers at the moment.
After I installed the trackpad/point drivers I disabled the trackpad. But now I noticed that the middle mouse button isn't working.
How can I fix this issue?
Also is there an easy way to get all the drivers I'm missing at once? I don't have a CD.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Androlord,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I'm sorry to hear that middle mouse button of your Lenovo ThinkPad L540 is not working.
For the middle mouse button to work, you should enable the TrackPoint in Ultranav option.
Please download drivers from Lenovo Support page. To download the drivers, Please click on "Select Product", then in "QUICK PATH" enter L540 and select the exact model depending on the MTM number of your device. All the drivers compatible for your system would be listed.
Use Think Vantage system update which will auto detect the drivers required and will install it for you.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Mithun.

Auto focus in Safari Yosemite does not work on new tab.

Creating a new tab in Safari does not auto focus the address bar. I need to Cmd-L to activate the address bar. This is annoying because I usually create a new tab to enter a search. Is this a bug or working as intended?

OK! I've found the error by myself. The XML file I am trying to update is not schema valid. Infact I've registered the schema with this call:
begin
dbms_xmlschema.registerSchema(
'PurchaseOrder.xsd',
getdocument('PurchaseOrder.xsd'),
TRUE,TRUE,FALSE,TRUE
end;
So the first three lines of the XML file must be:
<PurchaseOrder
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="PurchaseOrder.xsd">
and not
<PurchaseOrder
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="HTTP://localhost/sys/schemas/REF5/PurchaseOrder.xsd">
I think it is better not to register the schema with relative URL...
Bye!

CP 4 not opening new tab in browser

Without actually seeing it myself, here is a problem my client has described. 5 or 6 modules are on a website (SiteBuilder) with links. When a user clicks on a module link, the module opens and runs fine. But when the user closers the module, they are forced to log back on to the website. I assume the problem is that when the user clicks the module link, that instead of another tab opening in the browser, it opens inside the same page.
Does anyone know if there is a script/code that I can add to the modules to always open either another tab or browser window?
Thanks in advance!
JT

Hi there
My guess is that any configuration of that sort would occur at the SiteBuilder end. Perhaps there is a forum dedicated to SiteBuilder where you might ask?
Cheers... Rick

BUG: navigateToUrl always opens new tab in browser, also when window parameter is specified

I have a problem navigating to a Url in the default browser in an Adobe Air project.
air.navigateToUrl(request, windowName) launches the browser and displays the page, but it displays a new tab for every request.
Here is a very simple example that shows the problem:

    <body>
        <a href="#" target="testp" onclick="javascript:air.navigateToURL(new air.URLRequest('http://www.adobe.com'), 'TestWindow');return false;">Same Tab</a>
    </body>
</html>
How can I open the url in the same window/tab?
Message was edited by: Karel VDH

Hi..
I am struck with the same issue as well.
It works for few sites like "http://www.adobe.com" and "http://www.google.com", but most of the sites open up in a new window, even if I specify custom name, like:
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.britishairways.co.uk"), "MyWindow");
Also tried through ExternalInterface viz:
ExternalInterface.call("window.open", new URLRequest("http://www.britishairways.co.uk"), "MySameWindow", "");
Please reply whether it is a bug, or there if there are any alternative approaches.

Safari Download links not working, opening new page

Hi, I am not to happy with the latest version of Safari, and it has made one problem worse. When I click on a download link, more often than not, instead of getting a file to download, it opens a new page and appears to be loading the file as raw code. I will see in the location bar at the top something like:
download.php or FileName.zip, and it cycles a while until the full file is loaded but does not show anything by a blank page... Before this version I could right click and choose save linked file As and it would usually work, but now that doesn't work.
Anyone else seeing this problem or have a solution?
I have speed downloader but I have it turned off for sites that were problematic, but Safari doesn' seem to use it anyway, because when it works, it opens a Safari download window, not SD
Thanks
Jeff

Quit Safari if it's running. Move the file
Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
in your home folder to the Desktop. Test again. If downloading now works as expected, then that's where the problem lies. Otherwise, it's still somewhere in your Safari settings, but I wouldn't know where. You'd have to ask the "Speed Downloader" developer what to do next.

I've done something and Firefox don't open tabs when I click on the open new tab and when I click on right click there is a lot of options..

Wheb I click right click there's a lot of option, before I use to have just a few. I wish that I can send you a photo how that looks.

You can't attach a screenshot to the first post that starts a thread, but you can do that in subsequent replies.
You can check for issues caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

Middle click not opening link in new tab. Windows 7 Firefox 17.0.1

Middle click suddenly stopped opening new tabs when links are clicked on. I was running 16, but updated to 17 (latest) to try to fix the problem. I am using a Logitech mouse and keyboard. Worked until this week.
I really need this working again.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

A new tab will not open except will when I use Foxfire help. Nothing works. My setting are to open new tabs but it doesn't work. Why?

Foxfire won't let me open a new tab. I have my setting set to open a new tab. I've clicked on it and nothing happens. I've right clicked and selected open new tab and nothing happens. When I go to Foxfire for help it will open a new tab for help. When I try to use this tab to browse, anything in the other window gets shut down.

1. In the Tools menu select Add-ons to open the add-ons manager.
2. In the Add-ons manager select the Extensions panel
3. In the list of Extensions click on Ask Toolbar, then click the Uninstall button
4. Restart Firefox and the Ask toolbar will be uninstalled.
I found this solution and it worked!
