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

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):

Why when I click on a bookmark it doesn't open a new window, it takes over a window I am working on

Why when I click on a bookmark it doesn't open a new window, it takes over a window I am working on

Also, if you right click, the menu will include; '''''Open New Tab''''' and
'''''Open New Window'''''.

The only way I can open a new tab is by right-clicking a bookmarked site and selecting "Open in a New Tab." I can't click on the New Tab + or CTR+T or open via File. WHY?!?

The only way I can open a new tab in Firefox is by right-clicking a bookmarked site and selecting "Open in a New Tab." I can't click on the New Tab + or CTR+T or open via File. WHY don't the other means work?

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

TS3899 the links in my email are not live, I can click on them but they no longer open up

The links in my emails are not live, I can click on them but they no longer open up the web pages

Me too but it's happening on my iMac after I did a software update this morning which included fixes in Mail it said. My Mail was fine before the update!

In "Show more Bookmarks" if I right click does not work (I want to open in a new tab)

This is using Mac Firefox current version. I use lots of tabs and don't have space for all of them so there is a >> at the right end for clicking and displaying the rest of them. If I click and display list and highlight one of them, the right click does not work - I want to open in a new tab not use the existing - there are no menu options displayed on these tabs. The tabs across the top work fine for this

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] 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.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
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")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

My old iPad has purchased movies on it from iTunes Store, however they do not appear on my new iPad - what can I do to fix this? Thanks

My old iPad has purchased movies on it from iTunes Store, however they do not appear on my new iPad - what can I do to fix this? Thanks. My new iPad air is wifi only

You might, depending upon what country that you are in (redownloading films isn't possible in all countries), the studios that they are from (even where redownloading is possible not all studios have agreed to it), and whether they are still in your country's store (studios ocassionally remove their films), be able to redownload them on your new iPad via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app.
If not then you will need to connect your old iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy them over to it via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, and you can then sync them to your new iPad.

I visit a website which has podcasts.when I click listen icon on a page, it opens a small new window where mp3 file streams.

But I want to open mp3 file in new tab on the page.Normally when I click a link on any website, links open in new tab. but on this site (elspod.com) there are icons not links .the site is elspod.com

you can try out this page
http://www.eslpod.com/website/show_podcast.php?issue_id=13731485
if you click the listen icon on the page , a new windows is likely to open to play mp3 file..could I play/open this mp3 in a new tab instead of in new window

When on safari if i click anywhere on the page another page opens in a new tab with an ad

The other day i download something on Facebook. Since then my safari has not been the same. My homepage changed from safari to something like quick search and whenever i am on a page no matter what or where i click another page opens in a new tab with an advert or survey and i have to click ok to get rid of the message then cancel the page.
Before this happened, my internet was just set as a standard apple laptop is from new, and when on safari if i clicked the little + in tabs part a new page would come up and give me the choice to pick from some of my favourite sites etc

This can happen if adware Genieo is installed without your knowledge. Removing it will help,

How do I get news stories I click from my Yahoo home page to open in a new tab?

At one point, whenever I clicked on a news story on my Yahoo home page the story would open in a new tab, leaving the home page unchanged. When I updated Firefox, this feature was eliminated. Is there a way to turn it back on?

Hmm, this isn't a built-in feature of Firefox, but here are a couple possibilities:
(1) Maybe Yahoo has a setting for this, but it is stored in a cookie and the cookie got wiped out somehow?
(2) Maybe one of your add-ons has a setting for this, but the add-on was disabled during the update because it needs to be updated for Firefox 30?
You can check whether any of your extensions are disabled or need updating on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Command+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. The disabled ones appear toward the bottom on a gray background.
To check for extension updates, at the top above the list, click the "gear" button, then Check for Updates.
Anything relevant there?
The "manual" methods for opening a link in a new tab are:
* hold down the Command key while clicking the link
* "middle-click" the link with a mouse scroll wheel
* right-click the link > Open Link in New Tab
If command+click doesn't work, this can indicate that a script attached to the link and is overriding normal Firefox behavior.

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.

When I click images or links that should automatically open in a new window, instead a new blank window opens.

For some time now and after firefox has automatically been updated a few times, I click on images or links which are supposed to open in a new window automatically. A new window opens but it is blank with no toolbars, just an adress bar with nothnig in it.

mha007, Thank you. I walked through your suggested solutions and finally disabled all add-ons and restarted them one by one. The culprit seems to be ViewSourceWith 0.8.11. Interestingly when it is enabled I had to go to TaskManager to force Firefox to quit.
Maybe this information will help others. I don't know if the cache clearing etc helped but I would suggest that others start but Bringing up Firefox in Safe Mode (hold shift when you select the icon), disable all add-ons and then start them one by one.
Of course if you have ViewSourceWith maybe you should just disable it first rather than go through the tedium of restarting each add-on separately. To get to the add-ons when it won't open from the toolbar type about:addons in the address area.

When I click a link on most pages, it opens in a new window/tab with just *go to a website* in the address bar.

This happens from links in my email and links from websites. Is there a setting somewhere that I botched that hides web addresses from me?
It however, doesn't happen every time I click a link.. strangeness.
FF 9.0.1

For the list of teachers there are email addresses in the right hand column, did you click on an email address?
If you did that could explain the multiple tabs being opened. What may have happened is you have the mailto protocol set to open Firefox which results in 100s of tabs opening when you click on an email address. For details on fixing that see [[Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows]], in particular the section on "Change the action for a content type". My guess is you will find mailto is set to "Use Firefox".

I can no longer click on a link and it automatically open in a new tab

I can not find the option to default Firefox to open a link in a new tab. It opens it in the current tab. How do I reset up this feature?

Go to Tools>options>tabs>check the "open new windows in tab"
or ctrl+click on the link ( always worked )

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