When I do a Google search Firefox will not connect me to the links. The only way for me to connect to the listed pages is to right click on the link and open in a new tab or window. I have reinstalled Firefox and the issue still remains.

I run windows 7 on a Gateway FX6000 series computer. This issue has been going on for some time. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. There are not any malware programs on my machine according to the scans I have run using Ad-Aware. If I use another browser I can connect to Google search links with no problems.

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.

  • I don't want links to open in a new tab or window.

    On any website with links (especially reddit), EVERY time I click a link, it opens in a new tab or window.
    I do not wan't this.
    I just want the link to open in the same tab I'm using.

  • Web Viewer - getting buttons to open in a new tab or window

    I am trying to get a button to open in a new tab or window in the DPS web viewer.
    The options when creating a button are:
    Open link in folio
    Open link in device browser
    Both which do not work when we export the web viewer.
    I know it is possible as Adobe are using this function for their Inspire magazine. This does not seem to be html either that they are using. See link here - at the bottom of the page: Adobe Inspire Magazine October 2014: The Truth in a Face
    Any help with this issue would be highly appreciated.

    There is a parameter on creating the iFrame called externalLinksOpen. They can set it to 'window', as it defaults to inline, which opens it in the current window. It's documented here:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/digitalpublishingsuite/ContentViewerForWebSDK-2.0/classes /FrameService.html#method_createFrame
    There is also a demo linked from our 'What's New' section under 'External Link for Embedded Viewer' at http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/digitalpublishingsuite/ContentViewerForWebSDK-2.0/modules /What's%20New.html.

  • Can open a site from bookmarks only by right-clicking and "open in a new tab". Whan's wrong?

    Hi.
    After some regular updates I can open a site from bookmarks only by right-clicking on it and "open in a new tab". Have this problem also on my PC and a notebook. (Win 7 & Win 8). Didn't add any new add-ons lately, seems like they all work well.
    My Mozilla Firefox is ver 31.0
    How this problem can be fixed?
    Thank you.

    hello, the easiest way to find out if the problem might be caused by an interfering addon is to launch firefox in safe mode once...

  • I want mailto to open in a new tab or window

    Windows XP, Gmail,
    Suddenly, mailto links did not open (NOTHING happened when I click in a mailto link). I corrected that in about:config.
    BUT now it opens in the SAME tab, on left click, whereas it used to open in a new window. I would like it to open in NEW tab/window. The tab seems to work better (if right click, there is an option to open in new tab), as my signature is then also loaded (Before the signature did not load in the new window.)

  • Download file (PDF) and open on a new tab

    Hi All,
    Jdeveloper version: 11.1.2.1.0
    Use Case:
    When user press the command button, system should retrieve PDF document from the database (BLOB file) and display on a new tab

    response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=Report.pdf");You must use "attachment" instead of "inline".
    Edit:
    Just noticed that you want to show document :)
    You can try to use something like this to call your servlet(and use "inline"):
    String script = "window.open('" + url + "', '_blank');
    ExtendedRenderKitService service = Service.getRenderKitService(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(), ExtendedRenderKitService.class);
    service.addScript(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(), script);
    {code}
    But you can't control browser behaviour, so if this will open in new tab or new window depends on browser settings.

  • Strange behavior in the top link bar and open in a new tab

    Hello,
    I am having a strange behavior in the top link bar. Every element in the menu has the "open in a new tab"-option checked and is working fine but is not working at all in a sub site which inherit the menu. 
    I have look at the code thinking that the menu in the sub site did't get the target="_blank" but is there.
    Anyone who knows what can be happening?
    Thanks!!!!

    I'am using Mozilla firefox nightly version in Windows 8.1 .... after starting the Mozilla all toolbar options, minimize, maximum buttons works fine. but as soon as i open a new tabe the (minimize, maximize, close) options do not work with mouse left button clicking.

  • Every time i click my mouse an ad opens in a new tab. how so i stop it

    i have a macbook air, OSX 10.9.5,
    WHEN I AM ON THE INTERNET EVERY TIME I CLICK MY MOUSE A NEW TAB OPENS UP WITH VARIOUS DIFFERENT ADS ON IT. HOW DO I STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING?

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware.
    Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of today, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.
    The VSearch malware tries to hide itself by varying the names of the files it installs. To remove it, you must first identify the naming pattern.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for two files with names of the form
              com.something.daemon.plist
    and
               com.something.helper.plist
    Here something is a variable word, which can be different in each case. So far it has always been a string of letters without punctuation, such as "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," or "trusteddownloads." Sometimes the word is "apple," and then you must be especially careful not to delete the wrong files, because many built-in OS X files have similar names.
    If you find these files, leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
    /Library/LaunchAgents
    In this folder, there may be a file named
              com.something.agent.plist
    where the word something is the same as before.
    If you feel confident that you've identified the above files, back up all data, then drag just those three files—nothing else—to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the Finder windows and restart the computer.
    Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
    The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
    Open this folder:
    /Library/Application Support
    If it has a subfolder named just
               something
    where something is the same word you saw before, drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
    Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
    Finally, in this folder:
    /System/Library/Frameworks
    there may an item named exactly
                v.framework
    It's actually a folder, though it has a different icon than usual. This item always has the above name. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
    Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
    If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
    If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
    The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
    This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

  • The back button is there but never works. It didn't open in a new tab or window but the back button isn't functioning. I just downloaded Firefox 5.

    Actually, all my details are in that looong question I asked. ; )
    I am ready to go back to 3.6 or whatever version I had because 4 and 5 have had these issues. I tried 4 before but now that I have 5 and the same issue, I remember that I saw this before.
    As I was typing this note, I looked up and saw the back button is actually working on this site. Weird.
    Also, there isn't a button next to the back and forward so I can see my history. Where is that, now? Sometimes, I want to go back 3 or 4 pages at once without loading each page the slow way. Awww, what am I saying? You all know what I mean. :\
    I am using Windows 7 and have been using Firefox for years, so I am familiar with it and it is my only browser of choice so I hope someone can help me. Thanks in advance.

  • WIth upgrade I no longer can right click on a bookmark to open in new tab, only the "open" choice if available to me. How to correct please ?

    When I try to right click on a bookmark to open in a new tab the menu pops up but only "open" is bold, the other choices are no longer available. Please advise.

    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).

  • 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.
