When I open a link it switches me to that tab even though under tools>options>tabs> I unchecked "switch to new tab immediately". I tried opening Firefox in Safe mode and it still switches to the new tab.

While using mouse middle-click to open new tabs, with a short-
time clicking to open new tabs in background, with a long-time
clicking to open new tabs in foreground.

When i open iPhoto, it shows my iPod touch is connected even though it's not.

When I open iPhoto, it shows that my iPod touch 4th generation is connected under the devices tab even though it is not. Here is a screen shot of what it looks like.
Then when I plug in my iPod, iPhoto still will not open, i still get the same screen image when i manually open it and it will not show me anything that is on the iPod. I have tried unmounting it in the device tab and restarting iPhoto. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

well, kiss my grits!! i feel like i am running a pc today. after making this post i shutdown all my apps and then did a restart, and low and behold when i plugged in my ipod, iphoto opened and it recognized the photos. go figure all it needed was a restart.

"When I open a link in a new tab, switch.." Doesnt work correctly

I'm using Firefox 28.0 (Waterfox build)
I've verified that:
- browser.tabs.loadInBackground: False
- browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground: True
- "When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately" is enabled in the UI.
It seems only some websites actually switch to the new tab. Also, sometimes, this feature will stop working all together; requiring me to toggle the Firefox UI setting and/or restart firefox.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

Sometimes when I open a link in a new tab and then switch to the tab, the address bar clears and the website won't open.

Sometimes when I open a link in a new tab and then switch to the tab, the address bar clears and I'll have to re open the tab and hope that doesn't happen again. Sometimes this happens again and again. Most of the times if I just open the link in a new tab and don't switch to it, this won't happen. But as I switch too the tab, the text would disappear and the link wouldn't open.

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)

It is possible to switch immediately to the new tab when I open a link in a new tab

When I open a link in a new tab, Firefox does not switches to the new tab!
Is there an option like desktop firefox?
tools -> options -> tabs -> "switch to new tab immediately"

Gosu,
As already stated, it doesn't work. I have filed a bug in bugzilla.

When I open a link in a new tab, firefox switches to the new tab

When I open a link and instruct to open in a new tab , it switches me to that tab !
I have under tools>options>tabs>
unchecked "switch to new tab immediately"
And it still switches to the new tab, this is frustrating...

I fixed it by disabling the Divx add-ons in Firefox. Hope that helps you

When I open a link and instruct to open in a new tab , it switches me to that tab

I have under tools>options>tabs> unchecked "switch to new tab immediately" And it still switches to the new tab. I've searched for solutions and it's not the plug-ins or extensions, which I've disabled manually or started in safe mode.
It had worked briefly for a couple of days (unchecking the switch-to box), then it stopped working. I'm running OS 10.6.7 and I've tried repairing permissions. Any ideas?

New tabs are not updating the names of the sites they have loaded. When I open a new tab and load a site, the tab simply stays named "New Tab". When I open a link in a new window, it shows "Connecting..." even while its fully loaded.

When I open a link a new window opens with the toolbar and sidebar missing, on my previous machine the link simply opened in a new tab (not window).

When I open a link in Firefox instead of opening a new tab it opens in a new window with all of the toolbars missing including the sidebar, right clicking anywhere gives me no options to restore the toolbars. My old machine simply opened the same link that I am trying in a new tab with all my toolbars available.

I recently upgraded to iOS 7.0. When I open Safari to a blank page, a small "Settings" icon appears against the white background. When I click on it, it opens a link to a web page that is not among my other bookmarks. How can I get rid of it?

Leliforever, cheek you list of installed add-ons, the Ask toolbar can be installed without the users knowledge.
For checking other extensions that may cause this, follow the procedure in this link - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
