What configuration is needed in tab utilities for firefox 5 lite to get google search links to open in a new window?

I have installed tab utilities lite, when I select some links (i.e. the ask questions button in this site) I get new tabs, but when I open the google search results links, the link opens in the existing tab.
What config is required to get the google links to open in a new tab?

This began to happen to me when I tried to run two separate profiles simultaneously on the same installation of firefox with -no-remote

  • Google search links, always open in a new tab

    Is there a way to have links open in the same tab?

    Thanks again.
    Copy and paste would be easier. :)
    I don't understand why they can't add a setting allowing the user to choose in which mode to open external links.

  • When I clicked on a link, it opens into a new window. I would prefer that it opens as a new tab. Does anybody know how to change this? Thanks

    You can look at the browser.link.open_newwindow prefs on the about:config page if you want to divert all JavaScript window.open() calls to a new tab.

  • When clicking on links that open in a new window, the links don't open and Firefox freezes in a way. I can navigate the page I am on but cannot click to open a new tab or bookmark.

    When navigating the internet, if I come across a web page that has a link to open a picture or program in a new window, if I click on it, it does not open. Firefox immediately looses functionality in that I cannot open a new tab with the mouse wheel, right click to open a new tab, or use my bookmarks in either the drop down or toolbar to navigate away. I can usually still navigate the page that I am on, for example, (https://loanconsolidation.ed.gov/AppEntry/apply-online/appindex.jsp), when it freezes I cannot click on any of the content at the center of the page but I can still use the links from the list on the far left. For an example of the pictures, (http://www.insect-sale.com/), if you click on "New Arrivals" at the top of the page it takes you to a list of products that can only be viewed by clicking on them. Usually a picture of the item would open in a small window but it does not and Firefox freezes. This has also happen when I try a view a degree audit on a school's website where a program would usually open in a new window. The only thing I have been able to find that still functions properly when this happens is the home page button. I can click on it or use the wheel to open it in a tab just fine, but if I try and go anywhere else I cannot. The only way I can get Firefox back to normal is to use the Task Manager and end the process. Another thing I have noticed, that may or may not be related; is that my Norton Internet Security toolbar, that should show up below the bookmarks toolbar and above the tabs, only shows up about 1 out of every 10 times I open Firefox. Some days it doesn't show up at all. If it does show up and I log into Identity Safe, the autofill for the programed website works, even if the toolbar doesn't show up the next time I open Firefox.

    Go to Tools->Options->Apps
    Here you should see two columns: Content Type on the left, Actions on the right.
    Find and select excel spreadsheet or any other content type in the left column. There should be a corresponding action in the right column. What is it? You can use the drop-down list to select the option you want:
    Always Ask - Firefox will ask each time: What do you want to do with this file?
    Save file - Firefox will save this file to your computer
    Use - Firefox will give this file to the program to open it
    In case of saving, Firefox will either prompt you every time where you want the file to be saved, or save it to the default location. It depends on the preference in
    Tools->Options->General->Download

  • Is there a way to make links automatically open in a new window / new tab when viewing the PDF online

    Hi there,
    Currently we are adjusting our PDF files at our company, in order to make them more "user-friendly".
    We are looking for a way, when our customers view the PDFs online, that the URL that is in the PDF, when clicked on, will automatically open in a new window, instead of opening the URL in the same window as the PDF is opened..
    Could some-one please help me this?
    regards,

    It worked for me. See the source of my example at (PDF link to open in new window). (Sorry, that is the default title of the test page.)

  • With FF15 on Win7, when I click a Google Reader link (that open in a new tab when clicked, target="_blank" style), the new tab opens for a second, then closes.

    The tab will not crash if I right-click, open in new tab, or middle click. Other sites with target="_blank" seem to be ok with left click (Google+ links for example). But Google Reader links seem to be completely broken.

    Seems to be an adblock plus issue in my case. When I disable adblock it never happens. When I enable it this occurs on most links on google, twitter or reddit. Somehow seems them as pop ups I guess. Probably will have to fiddle with adblock plus.

  • External links suddenly open in a new window instead of a tab

    I am using Nightly (20.0a1) on WIndows 8, I use the program Teamspeak 3 and it used to be that whenever I clicked on a link it would just open in a new tab in the Nightly window that was open, but now it opens a completely new Nightly window. I have the box ticked in settings, I've gone through all of the about:config things I've seen online and nothing works, I really have no idea what to do. I just did something with envoirenmental variables which didn't help (meant that it opened a whole new instance of Nightly whenever I clicked on an external link) so I deleted the variable. Anyone got any suggestions? If it is relevant, before this problem started I dragged a tab from one window of Nightly to another (think it might've been the cause of this), and yes, I've tried dragging tabs around from window to window to fix this and it didn't work.

    Thanks, but I already had it set to that, I've heard of many people with this problem and tried literally all fo the about:config fixes that I could find but none worked, I think it is some sort of assosiation problem with hyperlinked text with windows but I really don't know. Anyone who can help me please do, this is getting annoying. Keep in mind that I have Windows 8 when making suggestions also.

  • I want Links to open in a New Window, NOT a New Tab (FireFox 31.0)

    Internet Explorer has an "Options" setting to open new tabs in a new window instead.
    Where can I find it in FireFox - looks like there is none ???
    Older versions had it, I believe.

    The setting in Tools > Options > Tabs: "New pages should be opened in": "a new tab/window" is for links that specify a target window to open the link.
    That option allows to divert such links to a new tab instead of a new window.
    Links that do not specify a target always open in the current tab unless you override that with a middle-click or Ctrl left-click (new tab) or Shift left-click (new window) or via the right-click context menu.
    JavaScript running on the page or an installed extension can also change (override) the default behavior.
    This applies to bookmarks and other links as well, i.e. you can middle-click the View Image item in the right-click context menu of an image or middle-click the Reload button on the location bar to get a new tab with that link.
    Left-click a JavaScript link (e.g. you see "#" on hover) to avoid getting a blank tab.

  • How do I get a web link to open in a new tab?

    When using Safari on my iPad2, is there a way to tap on a link on a web page and have it open in a new tab, instead of replacing the currently displayed web page?

    Top on the link and hold down until a pop-up menu shows up. Select the Open in New Tab option.

  • I have just noticed that the new edit tools don't allow for setting up links to open in a new window. This is a very basic tool. Can it be incorporated ASAP.

    previous editor made i t very easy for clients to create links in text that opened in new windows rather than existing window. I consider this a basic tool. Can it be re-incorporated ASAP.

  • When I click on a link to open in a new window the window pops up blank except for "search bookmarks and history". What can I do?

    This has been happening for a while. I don't remember adding or changing any of my Firefox settings. When this happens and I need that extra window I go and use Explorer.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • How do I change the order of the choices when you right-click on a link? "Open in a new window" used to be first, but in Firefox 4 "Open in a new tab" is first - which I hate using but click on by mistake. Can I change the order back to what it was?

    Is there some preferences setting to be able to control the ordering of choices for the right-click menus?

    You can use the Menu Editor extension to rearrange menu items - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/menu-editor

  • How do I get a webpage link to open in a new tab in Catalyst?

    Using Catalyst and am completely unable to locate this simple and basic feature.
    Any help?.

    Two ways, when you make the link if an external one then there is the field that says "target". A menu has the same field, and in the editor if you click an existing link, options appear at the bottom of the editor.

  • When I click on a web link and hold down ctrl the page will not open into a new tab, it is just opening in a new window. How do I correct this?

    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.

  • Every time I click a link, it opens in a new tab instead of the existing one.

    Whenever I left click on any link, Firefox opens the link in a new tab. Previously it would only open a link in a new tab if I either middle clicked, or right clicked and specifically selected 'Open Link in New Tab.'

    This may be because the site is instructing the browser to open them in a new tab (I know, it's a big usability issue, but the web is still young...). Can you try it on other browsers and see what happens? If the same happens, yes, it's probably the site that's telling the browser to open the link in another tab.
    If you want to eliminate that behavior, and be in full control of where the links open (middle click to open in new tab, left click to open in the same tab - as it ''should'' be), I suggest you install an extension like [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/1122/ Tab Mix Plus], which, among other things (many things, it's an absolutely phenomenal extension) will let you configure "links that open in a new window" to open on the current tab.
