TOC Links won't open New Window, Whole Page

RoboHelp HTML 11, Internet Explorer 11. Multiscreen HTML5 layout.
I'm trying to experiment with the different ways of opening links: New Window, Whole Page, Same Frame, etc.
Yesterday the different variations worked the way they should, but today every link in the TOC opens as if set to "Default (none)".
As for Links on topic pages, "New Window" opens a new tab, and "Whole Page" seems to go to Default (including the sidebar, which I gather should not be there).
Any ideas?

Hi,
Responsive or Multiscreen?
For the HTML5 version, the frame options for links won't work.
New Window should open a new tab. That is as expected.
The rest will work like a regular link.
The frame options really are just for WebHelp only. And only the new window and whole page make any sense.
Kind regards,
Willam

  • Embedded links in emails won't open new window or tab in FF.

    Running Mac OS X 10.6.6 and FF Version 3.6.12. I'm using Mail Version 4.4 as my email client and when I try and open an embedded link from an email, the link doesn't open a new tab or window. FF recognizes the link, but doesn't respond with a new tab or window. If I copy and paste the link into the browser the links work fine, so I feel like it's a setting or bug that has been changed somewhere somehow. This problem only happens when I try to click directly from the email. I've tried searching the preferences in both Mail and FF, but can't seem to find anything that fixes the problem. This issue started happening two weeks ago when I did the latest Mac OS X security update. Any thoughts or suggestions?

    Hi everyone, I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I have been very very frustrated by this problem. [I could not create new windows, and anything that opens new windows, such as trying to see what Add-ons you have etc would not work]. I read about changing screen alignment to the top... I have one screen so the option does not exist. The above messages would not fix this problem. I searched hard and did find a solution in the end. I read stuff about removing Add-ons until the problem is fixed, but its simply not the case.
    First of all open Firefox. next go to options: Help --- 'Restart with Add-ons disabled'. Tick the box for add-ons, restart firefox. Next go to Tools --- Add-ons. Next (In the Add-ons Manager' click on 'Plugins' on the left hand side pane. Look for the small blue writing that says 'Check to see if your plugins are up to date'.
    Now notice it should say 'Missing Flash'. "For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Flash. Please upgrade to the latest version". I followed this, reinstalled Flash and it now works as it always did, no problems. For people where the above fix didn't work, try this one out. Hope it helps people!

  • Firefox 31 (Ubuntu) won't open new window or Javascript pop-ups

    Hi, I am running Firefox 31.0 in Ubuntu 14.04 having the following problem:
    1) When I click on New Window or New Private Window in the File menu, nothing happens, same with pressing Ctrl-N.
    2) Certain websites are not able to open new windows or pop-up windows through Java or Javascript
    (e.g. the command: javascript:popup_imp(...) does not produce anything)
    I did try safe-mode and there everything works fine. Then I restarted firefox (several times) with all plugins disabled but still had the same problem, so I don't know what causes the difference between safe-mode and no plugins.
    (By the way, there is no problem opening a New Tab by pressing Ctrl-T or from the file menu, the issue is only the New Window and New Private Window).
    Is there any other way to narrow down what is preventing the new windows?

    Hi cor-el,
    thanks for your answer, however as I explained in my post, safe-mode does not present the problem, but disabling the extensions on its own does not help (i.e with all extensions disabled the problem still is there).
    Also, I did not have this problem in the past and I did not change anything graphics related (unless something was changed software-wise internally and I did not notice).
    And yes I am currently using the default theme.

  • Won't open new window, only tabs

    Previous version I could change option to open new window rather than tabs in 'tools' - 'options' This does not change anything. Also, it no longer saves 'home page'

    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.

    You can check for problems with preferences and rename or delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js files and a possible user.js file to reset all prefs to the default value.

  • Firefox won't open new windows or upload video

    Firefox is starting to get on my nerves with this one. The program will be working fine and then suddenly stop opening new windows. For example, I'll take a quiz and want to upload my results to facebook. I'll click the button and instead of opening a new window for facebook, it does nothing. Another example: I'm taking an online course and if I click to upload a file, instead of opening a window, it does nothing. When I click the red X to close firefox, nothing happens. Also, the minimize, restore, and close window buttons no longer respond. I have to open my task manager and manually stop the process. I notice when I reopen the program, it offers to restore all of my tabs as well as windows that mysteriously never opened before. This has been going on for about a week now and it really is annoying. I also notice when this happens that firefox seems to be taking up an unusual amount of RAM on my computer. What gives?
    I am using the most recent version of Firefox on a Dell PC and running the most recent version of Windows 7.

    Hi JuMaGa86,
    Thank you for your question. This sounds like a performance issue, please try these troubleshooting steps [[Firefox uses too much memory (RAM) - How to fix]]
    Then clear your cache and run the browser for a while to see if the performance improves. We look forward to your reply!

  • Firefox won't open new windows as maximized

    I'm running Firefox 31 on Windows 7, and in the program properties I've set it to run "maximized". When I open a new browser window using either the desktop or start menu shortcuts or "File > New Window" in the browser itself, it opens maximized just as it should. However, when I click a link that's programmed to open in a new window, the new window consistently opens as "normal window" rather than "maximized". I find this incredibly irritating.
    This problem did not occur at all back when I was using Firefox 28.
    I have not been able to find any way to correct it in the settings or options, nor have I been able to find any remedies in the form of add-ons. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Well that looks easy enough.
    Will toolbar customizations be the ''only'' thing I'll lose if I delete my localstore?

  • When I want to mail a web-page or link firefox keeps opening new windows and cannot be stopped.

    My laptop is a Samsung R730 (quite happy with it). I use Eudora for e-mailing. If I want to mail a web-page or link and click under 'file'to send it, Firefox starts opening new tabs without stopping up to over a hundred. I have to brutally switch off my lap-top, start agaiu. Restart Firefox which wants to open all the old tabs, click it off quickly. After that I can reopen to normal.

    You get that problem if you select the Firefox program to handle a file if you get an "open with" dialog.

  • Firefox 4 on mac 'snow leopard' (10.6.7) won't open new windows - only tabs

    I upgraded a couple days ago, and just noticed that I cannot open a 'new' window, only tabs in the original window that opens when I initially click the FF icon. I've tried both command-N and clicking file/new window from the menu. If I right-click a tab and select 'move to new window' the tab just goes away - no new window appears. New tabs open without an issue. I've rebooted, but it doesn't help.
    I'm running macbook pro 13", 8g ram/1t drive - shouldn't be resource starved. Doesn't appear to matter what else (if anything) is running. The only plug-in I've installed is Adblock.
    My previous installation (3.something - was current) 'lost' all my plugins somehow - they showed in the list, but wouldn't run; I removed them all but it wouldn't let me re-install any (I forget the error). That seemed to all get fixed when I upgraded to 4; adblock installed and runs like normal. Not sure if there is any relation, but thought I'd mention it.
    Thoughts?

    I have this same problem. Firefox 4 on 10.6.7 on a 2009 unibody Macbook Pro.
    I've noticed that I only have the problem when I'm using multiple monitors and my Firefox 4 window is to the left of the Mac OS X Menu Bar.
    My typical arrangement is: laptop monitor with firefox 4 window TO THE LEFT OF external Dell 24 inch monitor with Mac OS X Menu bar.
    Moving my Firefox 4 window to the external monitor allows me to open a window.

  • Launched links are not opening new window?

    OK- The web links inserted as click boxes work. The problem
    is that they open in the same window and the user will get lost and
    re-launch to get back into the course/project.
    The browser window launched by our LMS is different and does
    not have the typical navigation/menu features that I am used to...
    Any suggestions to correct this?

    Welcome to our community, andejb
    In addition to what Lee offered, I'll add the following:
    When you edit the object you are linking from and click that
    button with the down arrow to choose New, click it again after you
    have done this. You will see an option labeled "Continue Playing
    Project". Most folks like to click this option to turn it off.
    Otherwise, clicking the link will release the pause from your
    project and it will continue playing while your user is viewing the
    URL you linked them to. Turning the option off keeps the movie at
    its position until they are ready to proceed.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Firefox won't open new windows when I click "File" and "New Window". can you help me?

    My question is just as it reads above. My computer is windows 7. I've never run into this before.

    This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Safari 3.1 won't open new windows or tabs from a hyperlink

    what in the heck has gone wrong here? Something I did? I use Saft and Stand updated as well in the case of Saft.

    Look here for Safari extensions. Use at your own risk. I love Saft because it has a session saver feature. Stand is much more multi dimensional.

  • Firefox won't open links that require a new window to open

    Links that require a new window to open for the link won't open. I thought it was a Java issue, but I updated both Java and Firefox without any success.

    Hello,
    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!
    Thank you.

  • How stop FF31 from opening new window? I want to open all links in new tab at top of page.

    I think the following, quote below, from the help page is my problem.
    I have this one website I use that when I click on a link within the website it is opening a new window with the tab at the bottom. Also, when this happens, I am losing the orange FireFox rectangle, bookmarks and navigation options. How can I set FF31 so that the link opens in a new tab and I keep all my options? I am using Classic Theme Restorer 1.2.3. I also notice that in the new window I lose the ability to use some of the addons.
    I have two laptops and both are running FF31 and W7. One of them is working perfectly and the other is having this problem. As far as I can tell they are both set up the same. The only difference is that when I upgraded to FF31 they both had difference older versions of FireFox. I also read in the help forum that maybe I need to go back to FireFox 28 to accomplish what I am trying to accomplish.
    I noticed that when I go under about:config that the version of FF that is not working has fewer available options versus the version that is working. An example would be that the working version has "browser.tabs.onTop" where on the other laptop this is missing.
    >>>Open new windows in a new tab instead: This option controls whether links from other applications or from web pages which request to open them in new windows are opened in a new window or a new tab in the most recent window.
    Note: If you have chosen to open pages in new tabs, Firefox will ignore this option and will open a new window from a link if the page author specified that the new window should have a specific size, because some pages can only be displayed correctly at a specific size.<<<
    Thank you in advance for any help,
    yeto

    You can override how links are opened via the browser.link.open_newwindow.override pref.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow
    *1: current tab; 2:new window; 3:new tab;
    Use this for links opened via JavaScript.

  • Can't open new windows if clicking on a link!

    For some reason I can't open new windows if I clic on a link. It's alright if it opens in a new tab, but if it opens in a new window, the window that opens is just blank. I have no idea why it's doing so, it started a couple of weeks ago, and it's very annoying. I guess it has something to do with securityoptions, but I haven't been able to sort it out. Would be very glad if anyone should have an answear to this!

    Try These Possible Solutions:
    1. Restart Firefox and your computer.
    2. Use the keyboard shortcut CTRL+T to open a new tab.
    3. Run firefox in safemode (no add-ons) Go to start>all programs>Mozilla Firefox
