When I click on a link, Firefox opens a new window for that link, how do I change this setting?

I am unaware of having made any changes to my settings before this started. The best way I can describe it is that simply clicking on a link causes it to "open link in new window" rather than simply "open"

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 try to open a document in word, it wants to open it as a picture file. How do I change this setting?

    I can no longer open word documents and view or work in them. Everything wants to open as a picture file and says there is "no preview available". I just need to know how to change the settings back to what they were so I can work in downloaded microsoft documents.

    Are these Word documents email attachments that you are saving using right-click and Save Link As? It's possible that your email website has changed and instead you need to click the image or use the site's button.

    Thank you :-)

    It's likely that one of your login items is causing the problem. Select the Login Items tab in the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences. Delete any items that you don't recognize. If you're not sure which ones to delete, double-click each to test it.

  • Problem with open in new window for second level tab

    Hi Friends,
    I am using 2 level tabs in my application. In my second level tab when i right click and select *open in new
    window* it is giving Page not found error. But for the first level tabs it is working correctly. How can i fix this so
    that either i can show the page when right click the tab and select open in new window or disable the right clicking
    for the second level tabs. Please help,
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I don't think its exactly possible, as tabs use javascript:doSubmit('somevalue'); and you can not open javascript in a new window, as javascript usually references the current page you are on, and since you open the javascript in a new window, it doesn't know what to reference. The most helpful thread I found was : Re: Open other tab in a new window (ATD reply, third from the bottom).

  • When I right click on a link "Open link in new tab" since a few days, it "jumps over" the tab to the right and opens in the tab next to that. How can I change this back to opening in the tab next to the page from which I opened as it used to be?

    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).

    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")

  • Firefox closes after I click on a link to open a new window

    I had to reinstall Window 7, and of course, Firefox and Thunderbird. Now Firefox closes after I click on a link to open a new window. For example, if I'm in Thunderbird, and i click on a link in an email, Firefox gives me a message like "Firefox is already open, but must close before opening a new window."

    Is there more than one installation of Firefox listed in the Programs installed?

  • Clicking any tab or portal link it opens a new window

    Hello,
    We are using SAP EP7 and when we click any portal tab or link it opens a new window instead of opening it in the same one.
    What can we do to open tabs and links in the same window?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Yes, it looks like a problem with WPM (WorkProtect Mode).
    Have a look at this SAP NOTE : 734861. Incase of of iViews, if any data that you entered needs to be saved, then as per the configuration a new window opens up whenever you click any link. This allows you to continue working with the old window, save the data and thereby avoid loss of data. This configuration can be tuned to make it user friendly.
    Also have a look at this thread : New window opens on every EP page click for *some* users
    Hope this helps.
    PS: Consider rewarding points for helpful answers and for answer that helps you solve your problem.

  • I click on a link to open a new window nothing shows up - i.e. if I click on 'enlarge' on an Ebay auction photo a new windoiw opens but it's blank inside.

    I'm running Firefox 3.6.13 and if I click on a link to open a new window nothing shows up - i.e. if I click on 'enlarge' on an Ebay auction photo a new window opens but it's blank inside.
    Any ideas please? I've tried uninstalling and re-installing, and downloading and installing Flash but no joy.

  • When I try to follow a hyperlink, Firefox opens a new window that stays blank.; also I can't download a hyperlinked file.

    I recently bought a laptop that is equipped with Windows 7. I needed new drivers for my Canon printer and was able to locate the new software on their website. When I tried to activate the hyperlink, Firefox opened a new window with the proper address in the "window". however the window stayed blenk. Similar actions with IE yielded desired results.
    I got the same "dead end" when I tried to download a form from Mozilla; again IE worked fine.

  • How to Set Individual Managed Metadata Navigation Links to Open in New Window?

    I am using a managed metadata term set for the global navigation in my client's site. Most of the global navigation links point to pages in the current site, and should open in the current browser window/tab as the end user is just navigating within the
    site content. However, I have one particular node in the navigation term set that points to related content scattered around other external sites. The client wants these links to open a new window.
    Unfortunately, I can't seem to set the target for navigation links in the term set. If I was using standard global navigation, I'd be able to select the "Open in new window" checkbox when setting up the link, but that option doesn't appear to be
    supported via MMD navigation.
    Any clever suggestions?
    Thanks!

    I had a similarish requirement at a client once upon a time, they wanted any links that went outside of the intranet web applications to open in a new window.
    The way we managed that was to use jQuery to overwrite the standard hyperlink references for any hrefs that didn't point to internal sites to use the same javascript functions that SharePoint used for links configured to open in a new window. It worked out
    as being about half a dozen lines; check the URL and if it doesn't begin with a set range of options then overwrite the on click behaviour using standard jQuery behaviour.
    If you want it site wide then you just add jQuery and the code snippet to the master page, if you just want it in some places then add a CEWP or a HTML form web part to the relevant pages.

    I look for integrated in the legend bloc of diaporama, a widget such as "Accordion" for, with a click, or passing with mouse, open a new legend for each photo.

    Thank you,

    Accordion or Tabbed panel should to it, with click and open container.
    Please provide site url where this does not work, also if you can provide an example where we can see the exact action then it would help us.

  • First link always opens a new window

    I'm using Tomcat 3.2.3 and I have been unable to determine why the first link always opens a new window. From that point on, each hyperlink displays the page in the same window, as they should.
    For example, my index.jsp page has a hyper link to the logon.jsp page. The logon.jsp page always comes up in a new window - even though the achor <a> tag is not setting any 'target'. It also doesn't matter if the first page is index.htm
    I don't know if this is relevant, but Tomcat is running inside of Apache using the mod_jserv module. (at least I think it is.. I'm not sure how to tell... I followed the instructions at the Tomcat site and everything seems to load fine)
    Thanks for any help....
    E-

    try by explicitly setting the target of the form to the same window.
    I think it should work.

    Do you mean you have a Macbook Pro (laptop) versus a Mac Pro (desktop)?
    You can back up the MBP, restart using Command+R to boot into the Mavericks Recovery HD, erase the Mactintosh HD and Reinstall OS X. Then you can go through setup and configure it with your information and Apple ID. Mavericks should not prompt you for an Apple ID when it goes through the install since that OS is free.
    One thing you might want to consider is asking the previous owner to unregister the MBP from his Apple ID if he previously registered it. Then you can register it under your Apple ID.
    The previous owner should have wiped it clean and reinstalled the OS that came pre-installed before selling it.

    The only way that I know currently know of to remove old or incorrect email addresses from the Mail app is to reset the iPad back to factory defaults, which I assume that you don't want to to. You could try leaving feedback for Apple and maybe one day we'll day be able to edit them : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html#ipad
