When I click on a bookmark, it will not open in a new tab, but I have this option checked?

I have two issues since upgrading to FF4. The first issue is, when I click on a bookmark it will not automatically open in a new tab. I do have this option checked in my preferences, but it will not work. The second issue is when I search in the Google box, I cannot click on the auto search option.

Bookmarks always open in the current tab unless you middle-click or use Ctrl + left-click to open the bookmarks in a new tab just like you do with other links.
There are extensions that can change that behavior.

When i click on a bookmark, it will not open in a new tab

I just got a Macbook Pro and installed Firefox. On a PC, whenever I clicked on a bookmark, it opened in a new tab. The same settings do not work on a Mac. The bookmark opens in the same tab I was on. Help please

Hello,
My understanding is that the default action for left clicking a bookmark is to open in the current tab. If you want to open in a new tab, the middle click button is usually the way to do it.
Alternatively, you can install the following extension which will force all bookmarks to open in a new tab:
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/open-bookmarks-in-new-tab/
Or this extension which will provide more options for tabs (including what you want):

When I click on my bookmarks they no longer open in a new tab, what do I do to fix it?

I just uploaded to the newest version of Firefox. Now, when I click on a bookmark the link opens in the same tab - they won't open in a new tab. However, when I click on a link in an existing page that link opens in a new tab. I miss having my bookmarked links open in their own individual tabs. Please put that function back in.

Some add-ons like Tab Mix Plus offer that as an option, but I do not recall that ever being a built-in function if Firefox.
Have you tried Middle+click or Ctrl+click? See (under Web Navigation section): http://www.7is7.com/software/firefox/shortcuts.html

This problem start in my Mozilla when I update it to 31 version. Now I use 33.1 version

Пишу я же по родному.
Проблема в том, что в Мозиле не работает функция "Открыть" закладку. В меню закладок выбираю нужную закладку, кликаю левой кнопкой сворачивается меню закладка не открывается. Чтобы открыть закладку мне необходимо правой кнопкой мыши выбрать "Открыть в новой вкладке" и только тогда открывается закладка. Кроме того, если правой кнопкой выбрать опцию "Открыть", то закладка также НЕ открывается. Проблемы начались с 31 версии Мозилы.

Will someone please send me an email address that I can send the screen dumps to. The pictures with descriptions are much better than anything that I can write here. I really want to use FF, so please help me.
PS: I've updated exceptions in both the Firewall and Antivirus, then rebooted, but still no luck

Not as far as I'm aware. I am currently connected via Wi-Fi. There is no proxy for my Dial Up connection (which I'm not currently using)

Yes. See this very forum for 50 threads on it, that explain the solution.

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.

My computer says firefix is running....I can not find it and when I click on the icon it will not open. What can I do?

I can not get firefox to open when I click the icon. A box appears and tells me firefix is running but I can not find it anywhere. I have tried to delete it and everything else I can think of and it will not open. Please tell me what I can do.
Thank you Lisa Brown

I used to have this problem on my old XP computer, too. The easiest way to fix it is to restart your computer. Use Shutdown and restart. This will stop the firefox process that is hanging and won't show up on your screen.
If you are somewhat computer literate, you can look at all your running processes by pressing Ctrl Shift Esc all at once using the three finger salute. Look at the list of processes to find firefox, highlight it, and select end process. Then go back and click on your shortcut to your firefox to regain control and display it on your screen.
Be sure to upgrade to the latest version of firefox, Version 5. It works much better than previous versions.

Will not open link in new tabs, some of my add ons are not working properly

I am using Firefox 3.6.6
My add ons, such as Gmail Notifier and Forecast Fox are not showing up on the bottom, but they are all enabled and updated. Also, when right click and select Open Link in New Tab, it opens an Untitled tab.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I'm not sure when

The current version of Greasemonkey is compatible with Firefox 29. Could you check to make sure it is not turned off? There should be a "monkey" icon on the toolbar. Clicking that icon turns Greasemonkey on and off; the "off" state is designated by a faded icon, while the "on" state has a full-colored icon.
More generally, could you check for possible extension updates and disable unimportant extensions in case one of those conflicts with Firefox?
Open the Add-ons page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, look for the "gear" button above the list and choose Check for Updates.
I also suggest disabling any extensions you won't be using for the next 24 hours so that you can test whether that improves Firefox's functioning.
Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Any difference?
One possible reason for hangs, especially where you eventually get a dialog indicating that a script is running slowly, is Flash. To minimize sites from using Flash unnecessarily, try setting Flash to Click-to-Play ("Ask to Activate"). This will delay Flash from starting on a page until you approve it.
On the Add-ons page, in the left column, click Plugins. Look for "Shockwave Flash" and change "Always Activate" to "Ask to Activate".
When you visit a site that wants to use the Flash, you should see a notification icon in the address bar and one of the following: a link in a black rectangle in the page or an infobar sliding down between the toolbar area and the page.
Any noticeable difference?

Why does clicking on a link not open in a new tab although i have selected this feature under options

I have selected that links should open in new tabs, but they keep opening in my current tab.

That feature isn't for '''''all''''' links, only for those links that would open in a new window; no affect on links that are programmed to open in the same window. That preference diverts a new window to a new tab. If you want all links to open in a new tab, middle-click or {Ctrl + Click} links.

When I click links in emails, it will not open the link in my default browser (Firefox)

Firefox will not open, it is not running in the task manager, but when I click on the icon, it will not open a firefox screen.

I have tried uninstalling the program, so that i could re-install it, but during the uninstall it says i have to close the currently open firefox page, But there is no page opne. There is no page in the lower left corer of my screen, and when i opne task manger, it does not say that firefox is running. I have tried updateing firefox on the website, but during the update it says the same thing, that firefox is running, and i need to close it. I can not get firefox to opne, and i hate using internet explorer, PLEASE HELP!!

In the Task Manager, make sure to check both the Applications tab and the Processes tab. On the Processes tab, Firefox may have two different components running: firefox.exe and plugin-container.exe. Well, in 3.5.11, it would be only the first one.

Safari will not open PDFs in new tab

Whenever I open a PDF in a new tab, it doesn't show up. I can download it and open it perfectly fine, but it will not display in Safari...

Back up all data.
In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

On my personal laptop when I click a bookmark it will automatically open in a new tab. On my work laptop it opens in the current tab. How do I set it to open in a new tab?

I remember it working the same way on my personal laptop and somehow I found a setting to change it but I can't find the setting now.

Click the link with the scroll wheel.

When I click on a bookmark, it will not open in a new tab, but I have this option checked?
