Unable to open link in new tab in same window; opens new window instead. Preference is checked correctly. Is this new to version 3.6.11?
Before I updated to the latest of Firefox 3.6.11, I would click on a link in the window and it would open a new tab in the same window. Now whenever I do the same thing and entirely new window is opened. In preferences "Open new windows in a new tab instead" is checked. I'm using a Mac OS 10.4.11. Should I downgrade to an earlier version to solve this problem?
After clicking the preference on, off, then on again, the tabs feature has returned to normal upon a restart.

New tabs are not updating the names of the sites they have loaded. When I open a new tab and load a site, the tab simply stays named "New Tab". When I open a link in a new window, it shows "Connecting..." even while its fully loaded.
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.

when i open a new tab in firefox, it takes to me to a 'fast browser search' page and i would like to set it to open google.co.uk instead :(
It would seem if your choose "Show my windows and tabs from last time" '''''and''''',
*when you last closed Firefox, you had no web site open (just a blank tab), that it would open just that blank tab
*when you last closed Firefox, you had one or more tabs/web site open, that would allow you to "Restore Previous Session"
#Have you tried that?
#If so, what is happening in each circumstance when you reopen Firefox?
'''Restore Previous Session'''<br />
Open tabs are automatically saved when closing Firefox beginning in Firefox 4. To open your last session, after Firefox starts, click History > Restore Previous Session. For this to work
#You must be remembering history (Options > Privacy > Remember my browsing history).

How do you get new tabs on firefox to open to your home page?
When I open new tabs in firefox they open to the blank "new tab" pg. How do i get them to open directly to my homepage on igoogle that opens when I start firefox?
You can do that by using an add-on such as [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2221/ NewTabURL] or [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/777/ New Tab Homepage].

When I try to open a new tab using the "+" on the toolbar, nothing happens. Even trying to use the cntl t to open a new tab does not work. To open a new tab, I must right click on a hyperlink. how can I correct this? Using Firefox 3.6.18
The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons -

Using my ipad1 I opened a link sent by a friend wh/ took me to Fox News page. Then got email from him saying his google act was hacked & not to open link. What can I do to protect against anything malicious that might have come from this link
Well, if it was going to do anything to your iPad, its too late now, isn't it?
First off, it did not install anything on the iPad. Can't do that from a web site on an iOS device. The only thing you might consider is to clear your browser cache and data: Open Settings app > Safari:
Clear History
Clear Cookies and Data
And if you are really the paranoid type, Advanced > Website Data > Remove All Website Data. -
In Firefox 4, there is no New Tab button in the Customise Toolbar window - is there one for Frx4?
In Firefox 4, there is no New Tab button in the Customise Toolbar window? Is there one for Frx4?
You can find the New Tab button showing as a '+' on the Tab bar.<br />
You can open the Customize window and drag the New Tab button from the Tab bar on another toolbar and it will become a regular toolbar button like the New Tab button that you have in Firefox 3 versions.<br />
If you want the New Tab button at the far right end of the Tab bar then place a flexible to the left of it.
Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"

I just got a new macbook. Is there any way I can transfer pictures or music to this new mac from my old one?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
There are different ways to transfer your data from another Mac, but as you just want to transfer pictures and music, the best way is to use an external drive. You can also connect them with a Thunderbolt or FireWire cable, but you need specific Macs to do it, so I prefer the external drive method.
You just have to get an external drive and plug it to the old Mac. Then, open Finder, navigate to the folders with your pictures and music, and drag them to the external drive in the Finder sidebar, under "Devices".
Then, connect the external drive to the new Mac and you will see the external drive in the Finder sidebar after opening a Finder window, so choose it. Then, just copy the pictures and music to the folder you want, for example, Music or Pictures -
When I use to hold down the ctrl key and left click on a web link, the page use to open into a new tab. For some reason this is not working anymore. Instead when I hold down the ctrl key and left click on a web link, the link will open into a new window. How do I fix this?
I figured out how to correct it. Not sure what exactly was happening. But I started into private browsing and then turned it off. It's been working correctly ever since I did private browsing.

Any link that isn't a button, opens in a new tab.
I don't know of this behavior being changed just by going to Firefox 4.0, basically this is difficult to do if you want that behavior.
'''Middle-click''' defaults in Firefox to opening a link in a new tab (I override through the system to be "Enter")
Do the links open '''into separate tabs''' or do they open into the '''same different tab''' (like in Google searches).
Does this happen from any web page. Normal preferences (but maybe not default) used from search bar, and search results.
Firefox 4.0 introduced '''app-tabs''' which are pinned or unpinned from the tab context menu (right-click on tab). A pinned tab would not show the title on the tab and shows the favicon centered on a narrowed tab. Links opened from pinned tabs open in a new tab, does not apply to use of keyword shortcuts -- not links.
"'''Perma Tabs Plus'''" extension could do that but you would have to invoke it for each tab, though isn't of much/any use in Firefox 4.0 although it did work differently it is or was not working same with Firefox 4.0 (though I still have it active).
"'''Tabs Mix Plus'''" fiddles around with a lot of things almost anything could happen and it could leave things permanently switched (if you have it check it's options; I would never recommend the extension).
Try bringing up Firefox once in "'''Safe Mode'''" to see if that behavior disappears. Firefox 4 can help you with that quickly though Help ("Alt+H") -> "'''Restart with add-ons disabled..'''." this method will bring up safe mode for only the one time, then back to normal. This may not affect all things changed in "Tabs Mix Plus" but otherwise if things work properly in safe mode it generally means an extension was involved.
If an extension is involved the first place I look is "'''[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions Problematic extensions]''' " then the process of whittling down possibilities by disabling/reenabling half of enabled/disabled extensions described in ''' Extension issues''' within "'''[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_(Firefox)#Extension_issues Standard diagnostic - Firefox - MozillaZine Knowledge Base]''' ". -
For example, when I'm in Flickr and I'm looking at an album, I click on a picture and it opens a new tab for that picture. When I click on the arrow to see the next picture in the series, it proceeds to open yet another tab, and so on. It's not difficult to have tabs that span the width of my screen in no time at all.
This should help:
1. Go to: Tools > Options > Tabs
2. There is a section at the top that says 'Open links that open in a new window in:' and then a drop-down menu
3. In the drop-down menu, select the 'Current Tab' Option
4. Click 'OK'
