When I open a new tab, a new window opens instead. I have set preferences... doesnt matter. Help please.
Everytime I open a new link from an originalpage a new window opens instead.
Are that JavaScript links?
You can look at the browser.link.open_newwindow prefs on the about:config page.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction (0)
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow (3)
To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

Firefox is adding advertising links to certain words on my website cornish-surfing.co.uk, and when I open a new tab an additional window opens with unwanted sites.
1. How can I stop these things from happening?
2. Why is it happening?
These things only happen when I’m using the Firefox browser. I use Sophos antivirus and firewall and the scans indicate my system is clean. So I’m assuming that it’s built into Firefox or there’s a security flaw with Firefox.
Can you let me know which and how I can stop it from happening?
Graham Jappéhello, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by adware on your pc (certainly nothing that is shipping with a plain official firefox build).
please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

Before I updated to the latest of Firefox 3.6.11, I would click on a link in the window and it would open a new tab in the same window. Now whenever I do the same thing and entirely new window is opened. In preferences "Open new windows in a new tab instead" is checked. I'm using a Mac OS 10.4.11. Should I downgrade to an earlier version to solve this problem?
After clicking the preference on, off, then on again, the tabs feature has returned to normal upon a restart.

Every time I open iPhoto a window opens telling me that there are 3 photos that have not been imported. This happens twice. When I answer yes then nothing happens and if I answer no then a recovered folder is opened with no photos in it. These recoverable folders keep opening with no photos in them. I cannot find which photos have not been imported. Can anyone assist please?
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
Start iPhoto. Does that help?
If it does then look inside that folder on your desktop. Does it contain anything you want? If not you can trash the folder. -
IE11 opening 'New Tabs' as 'New Window'
//Posted already over at Answers Microsoft who then requested me to post here.
Original Thread: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie11-windows_7/ie11-opening-new-tabs-as-new-window/9836eb86-9879-46e6-8b86-3d2e8c272f00
Hi,
I'm currently having an issue with a few computers that have been updated via WSUS. It appears that the IE11 browsers are opening "New Tabs" as "New Windows" and I haven't been able to figure out a resolution as of yet.
Computers are all Windows 7 x86, running IE11 Ver 11.0.9600.17691 / Update Ver: 11.0.17 (KB3032359)
I've tested multiple websites to make sure it's not just a website causing the problem. All websites are doing it.
I've reinstalled IE11 and even tried to 'repair' IE11 but this hasn't resolved it. No issues found.
I've uninstalled all virus/spyware protection (McAfee)
I've reset Internet Explorer 11 through 'Advanced' in options.
I've restored advanced settings
I've checked "Tabbed Browsing Settings" and they're all set to open in a new tab, not a window.
Does anyone have any suitable solutions? trying to avoid rebuilds (though I know this fixes the issue)
Cheers,
Matt.
Additional information:
Computers are on a domain network
Last time this worked fine was before the deployment of IE11 (we were on IE9)
No changes were made prior to deployment via WSUS.
Clean Boot didn't resolve my issue.
Turned off and back on via Windows Features. Didn't resolve.
SFC /ScanNow didn't find any problems.Hi Matty344,
"I'm currently having an issue with a few computers that have been updated via WSUS"
Do you mean all the machines share the same symptom or just part of them ?
"Last time this worked fine was before the deployment of Internet Explorer11 (we were on IE9)"
Do you mean the issue occurred after we upgrade to Internet Explorer 11 from Internet Explorer9 or it worked correctly until last updates ?
How did you get the Internet Explorer 11 installation package ?Is the Internet Explorer 11 a customed package ?
Have you configured any group policy of Internet Explorer in the domain ?
Compare you symptom with this link:
Links open in new windows instead of new tabs in Internet Explorer 11 or Internet Explorer 10

If the issue persists ,please take the following steps to have a troubleshoot .
1.Run "iexplore.exe -extoff" to open the Internet Explorer 11 without add-ons to have a check.
2.If the issue occurred after we upgrade the Internet Explorer ,manually check for updates of the machine to get all the latest updates of the machine .
3.Remove the machine out of the domain then restart to have a check .If the issue persists,download the installation again from the following link ,run the following command line to uninstall the Internet Explorer 11 then restart the machine ,install the Internet
Explorer 11 to have a check.

I actually need help but cannot find the answer.
Please.......Lately when open a new tab it does not open with a blank page. I don't want to set my homepage as blank as when I first open Firefox, it automatically loads my hotmail page. But then if I open other pages I don't get a blank page. Help, please?
Thank you.

When I open a new tab, the new tab used to show shots of 6 or so of the last sites I'd viewed, so I could easily click on one and go to it. Now it shows a blank tab and I have to type the URL of the page I want. How can I change it back?

Version 33, problems when moving tab to new window, then if you open a new tab in that window it doesn't switch to it unless you use Ctrl-Tab.
Type '''about:preferences'''<enter> in the address bar.
Select '''General.''' Look for '''Tabs.'''
Turn on '''When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately''' -
when I right-click a link to open in another tab, the new tab opens not in the original window but in the first Firefox window of the session.
I deleted sessionstore.js from the profile and restarted Firefox but that did not helpSounds like this bug:

hai i am using firefox 3.6.When right clicking on a link and a window opens up, i want it to ask me "Open Link in New tab" first, not second.
First, you are using a version of Firefox that is very old and outdated. Please update to at least Firefox 3.6.27, or more preferably, update to Firefox 10.0.2. There are lots of bug fixes, security improvements, and much improved performance in Firefox 10.
After you do that, try seeing if you are still having a problem. If you are, is this that when you try to select "Open in a new tab" it opens in a new window instead? Or something else? -

When I open a new tab, an unwanted website opens instead of my desired home page. THIS IS ONLY AN ISSUE WITH NEW TABS; (opening the web browser AND clicking on the home button frings me to my desired home page.)
I have attached the url of the unwanted site.Use this add-on [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/custom-new-tab/ '''Custom new tab'''].

FF 4.0.1This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
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.

Any link that isn't a button, opens in a new tab.
I don't know of this behavior being changed just by going to Firefox 4.0, basically this is difficult to do if you want that behavior.
'''Middle-click''' defaults in Firefox to opening a link in a new tab (I override through the system to be "Enter")
Do the links open '''into separate tabs''' or do they open into the '''same different tab''' (like in Google searches).
Does this happen from any web page. Normal preferences (but maybe not default) used from search bar, and search results.
Firefox 4.0 introduced '''app-tabs''' which are pinned or unpinned from the tab context menu (right-click on tab). A pinned tab would not show the title on the tab and shows the favicon centered on a narrowed tab. Links opened from pinned tabs open in a new tab, does not apply to use of keyword shortcuts -- not links.
"'''Perma Tabs Plus'''" extension could do that but you would have to invoke it for each tab, though isn't of much/any use in Firefox 4.0 although it did work differently it is or was not working same with Firefox 4.0 (though I still have it active).
"'''Tabs Mix Plus'''" fiddles around with a lot of things almost anything could happen and it could leave things permanently switched (if you have it check it's options; I would never recommend the extension).
Try bringing up Firefox once in "'''Safe Mode'''" to see if that behavior disappears. Firefox 4 can help you with that quickly though Help ("Alt+H") -> "'''Restart with add-ons disabled..'''." this method will bring up safe mode for only the one time, then back to normal. This may not affect all things changed in "Tabs Mix Plus" but otherwise if things work properly in safe mode it generally means an extension was involved.
If an extension is involved the first place I look is "'''[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions Problematic extensions]''' " then the process of whittling down possibilities by disabling/reenabling half of enabled/disabled extensions described in ''' Extension issues''' within "'''[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_(Firefox)#Extension_issues Standard diagnostic - Firefox - MozillaZine Knowledge Base]''' ". -
When opening new tab, a new window opens instead; 2nd window does allow you to open new tab
boot up firefox, click to open a new tab, a new window opens up instead; in the original window, if you keep clicking to open a new tab it opens it in the 2nd window.
I'm having this problem, but I don't have the textarea cache add-on, nore the MozBar 2.3.
Now that I think about, I did just update an add-on (imtranslator), maybe that's what causing this to happen for me..
edit: yep, disabling it fixed the problem for me.
