When a web page opens a link in a new window, the new page/window is always blank and all i can do is click on the x in the top right corner to get rid of the page

everytime i click on a link on a webpage that is supposed to open in a new window, the new window is always just a blank white window/page

Is there a way for me to determine where on my desktop the new web pages open when I click on links?
Not sure if that can be done but you can press the Expose   key which will show all open windows.

  • A magnifying glass and search box show up in my e-mails and I can't read them unless I hit reply or forward. how do I get rid of the magnifying glass and search box?

    A magnifying glass and search box show up in my e-mails and I can't read them unless I hit reply or forward. how do I get rid of the magnifying glass and search box?

    First, some clarification:
    * The location bar (often called the "awesome bar") is the larger bar on the left that shows you the address of the page you are currently viewing. As you type in the location bar it searches your history and bookmarks for matches.
    * The search bar is the smaller one on the right. It typically displays an icon of whichever search engine is currently selected and may display search suggestions as you type in it.
    It sounds like you are referring to the search bar rather than the location bar. You can change search engines for the search bar by clicking on the icon on the left edge of the search bar and choosing a different one. You can also choose "Manage Search Engines" to remove ones you aren't interested in using.
    It also sounds like Bearshare might have changed your homepage in Firefox. To restore that you will need to open the preferences menu (click Tools > Preferences), go to the General tab (first on the top left), and click "Restore to Default".

    You will Not be able to get rid of it entirely...
    Other is usually around 1 GB...
    A  ' Large Other ' usually indicates Corrupt Data...
    First Try a Restore from Backup...
    But... if the Large Other Persists, that is an Indicator of Corrupt Data in the Backup...
    Then a Restore as New is the way to go...

  • I am trying to delete an email. However, when I highlight it, the highlight turns a very dark blue and all I can do is undelete it! How come this happens?

    I am trying to delete an email. However, recently, when I highlight the email, the highlighted area turns a very dark blue and all I can do is undelete it. The "delete" sign at the top is not visible. What causes this to happen?

    I found this link for a similar problem someone had with a Lotus Notes account. I used it to resolve my issue with a different email account (basically followed the same steps, and then looked for the particular account I needed to delete)... hope it helps!

  • I downloaded a book on iBook and when I opened it all I got was a gray screen and I can't go back to my library. Help! How do I get rid of the gray screen and go back to my library?

    I downloaded a book on iBook but when I tried to open it all I got was a empty gray screen. I can't do anything. How do I go back to my library? There are no icons, nothing.... Help

    If tapping the book doesn't give a button at the top left to go back to your Library, then try closing the iBooks app completely and see if it works when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with iBooks 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the iBooks app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Closing one window (x in top right corner) will try to close the second window as well.

    If I have two different windows open with tabs, and I try to close 1 window (no tabs), it will also try to close down the second window and ALL the tabs it contains as well. This has never happened in previous versions.
    But when I use the shortcut control w, the window closes fine.

  • Get rid of the Bluetooth icon

    I migrated my account from my powerbook to mini, trouble is i don't have bluetooth installed on my mini and the bluetooth icon on the top right corner is also 'migrated'. so the icon would show as grey and read 'not available'. if i try to open bluetooth to disable the icon, it would say 'no device detected' and then automatically shut off.
    is there anyway to get rid of that icon at all? thanks!

    Command-Click Icon-Drag-Poof! is the real easiest.
    Hold Cmd key. Click and hold on the menubar item you wish to remove. Drag away from the menu bar. Watch the poof.

  • HT201401 how do I get rid of the 1 over ssttings. I've re-booted, phone up to date, nothing in setting catagory that need to be updated?

    How do get rid of the "1" on the upper right corner of Settings ICON. I've re-booted, iphone is up to date sofeware wise, there is no "1" on any catagory when I go into settings?

    Thank you for your reply. Yes I am aware of the Notifications Control Panel and its total lack of any option to turn off the massive day and date so perhaps I should alter my question to WHY is there no option to get rid of the enormous waste of space Day and Date box.
    Probably the same reason why there is no option to say this answer did not solve my problem or help me.
    I wish I could go back to Snow Leopard - but even just the CBeebies website for my daughter no longer works on it and we are forced to upgrade and turn more and more into a grumpy old man.

  • Since downloading ios5 on my iphone 4 the capacity guage in itunes shows other as over 21Gb and i can no longer fit any music on it. How do I get rid of the other stuff? other

    Since downloading ios5 on my iphone 4 a few days ago, the capacity guage in itunes shows "other" as over 21Gb and i can no longer fit any music on my iphone.
    How do I get rid of the other stuff?
    capacity available on 32 Gb iphone is 28.49Gb
    i previously had 21.97 Gb music, over 6 Gb photos, about 1Gb of apps, and minute amount of audio
    now i have no music, 5.4 Gb photos and similar (0.8Gb) for  apps and audio. i have deleted heaps of photos and unused apps to try to make space but obviosly this is a much bigger problem. I also created a smaller music folder on itunes to sync to but at present no music is selected for syncing due to the lack of available space.
    i have 15Gb icloud account now also which is about half full.
    Ive done a little research and heard similar tales but with much smaller other totals than this. Can you help?
    i cant update my apps as i get a message saying i do not have enough available space.

    I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
    Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

  • How do I get rid of the massive date in Notification centre

    Hi.
    Have just updated to Yosemite, which so far has been nothing but utter pain.
    Latest issue is that the notification centre now includes an ENORMOUS Day and Date box which takes up a quarter of the screen real estate on my Macbook Air.
    It is totally useless given that I already have the day and date written quite neatly in the menu bar.
    How do I get rid of this waste of space so that I can actually fit something useful in the notification centre, there doesn't seem to be a delete option for it in the edit setting.
    Whoever wrote the apple webpage saying Yosemite had been beautifully redesigned needs their head examining, or preferably shooting.
    Many thanks.

  • Wierd Symbols/Icons in top right corner

    I have a wierd symbol that looks like a phone with what looks like a keyboard underneath it in the top right corner of my phone near the battery status. What does this mean and how do I get rid of it! I think it could possibly have something to do with hearing impaired settings but i could be way off!

    It's TTY
    Choose Settings > Phone to turn TTY on or off.
    Use the below link for all icons for future reference

    That is the snippet container.
    You can hide that container or set the <b>browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl</b> pref to an empty String on the <b>about:config</b> to make Firefox use some default snippets.

    You can hide the box that shows the snippets with code in userContent.css

  • Updated Firefox, now when I open a new tab, there is two seperate google search bars; how do I get rid of the unnecessary search bar?

    I updated Firefox, and after I restarted it, when I opened a new tab, I found that I now had two Google search bars: one next to where you type web addresses, and one right above my pinned sites (or my frequently visited sites). I'm just trying to:
    1. Figure out why it is necessary to have two of the pretty much identically useful search bars when I really only need one (or can physically type Google in)
    and
    2. How do I get rid of the unnecessary second Google search bar above my frequently visited and therefore pinned sites.
    If you have any ideas of how to remove this annoying addition, I would appreciate it.

    I am guessing that you installed an extension, related to "new tab", which added the first search bar. Firefox 31 in includes a search bar for the "new tab" page; so now you have two.
    Take a look at that extension (Options or Preferences) to see how to disable ones of those 2 search bars. Or see if an update has been released for that extension, specifically for Firefox 31, with an option to disable the search bar.
