When opening a new tab from the bookmark it opens in a section of the screen

sometimes I open bookmark link from the favourites, it happens regularly that those do not open in a new tab or window but in a portion of the screen, as if I pressed Ctrl B and opened it in there in the bookmark.
Your prompt reply is much appreciated

Opening in the Sidebar is the default action for bookmarks that are created via a "Bookmark this Page" link or button on a website. Make sure you use the many "Bookmark this Page" methods that are in Firefox instead.
Right-click that bookmark and select '''Properties''', then un-check the preference for '''Load this bookmark in the sidebar''', and then click Save.

Audio keeps playing when opening multiple new tabs from bookmarks folder

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone has noticed this behaviour in Safari and if its intentional or perhaps a bug.
If I have a website open with some audio playing (like a youtube video etc...) and then open some new tabs from a bookmarks folder by choosing "Open in Tabs", the audio from the video in the previous tab will keep playing in the background. However, any tabs that were open before (including the one with the audio) seems to have been automatically closed when choosing the "Open in Tabs" option so there doesn't appear to be a way to stop the audio, other than closing Safari.

You're welcome.
Could you please click the "''Solved It''" button next to the post which solved the problem for you? This will help others searching for a solution to the same question.
Thanks.

When I choose to open a new tab from a website, such as facebook, it always opens it in a new window. How do I change this to just opening a new tab. I tried changing the tab settings but it did not work

When I choose to open a new tab from a website, such as facebook, it always opens it in a new window. How do I change this to just opening a new tab. I tried changing the tab settings but it did not work. I did not have the problem until I started using firefox 4.

It is probably a JavaScript link.
You can probably force it where you want it with a keyboard shortcut
either "Ctrl+click" or "Ctrl+Shift+click". see
* Firefox and other Browser Keyboard Shortcuts (Comparison Table) http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/keyboard.htm
''Did that work?''
Some styles that provide a warning as to the type of link:

hey, just to keep you updated - there is now a fix available for firefox 25, which should address the particular problem of pages not loading unless the mouse is moved.
if you have downgraded to firefox 24 to work around the issue, please go to ''firefox > options > advanced > update'' and turn automatic updates back on. then go to ''firefox > help > about firefox'' which should trigger the update to firefox 25.0.1.
 in case you need to download the setup file for firefox 25.0.1 separately you can do so from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/channel/#firefox

Firefox does not open a new tab when you click the plus sign button which is actually a shortcut for opening a new tab. You have to open a new firefox window in order to get a new tab. Please help. Thanks.

I didn't have this problem before with Firefox. My kids must have pressed something or clicked on something that's the open new tab button does not function anymore. No matter how you click it, it doesn't open a new tab. Even if you click on file, then go to new tab, it still doesn't open a new tab. You have to open a new firefox window in order to do multiple browsing.
Hope you can help resolve this problem.
Sincerely,
Ems Guillarte

Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened. Checking your list of add-ons, the MyPlayCity toolbar is a version of the Ask toolbar.
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

How can I remove 'Open all in tabs' from my bookmarks?

How can I remove 'Open all in tabs' from my bookmarks? It's very annoying when you click on it by error. I downgraded from 29 to 28 because of the various bookmark issues I was having. I never had this issue with previous version of FF, why did they have to mess with stuff that was working.
I love the new layout. Thanks

Firefox 28 contains security vulnerabilities. It's best to start a new thread (ask a new question) about the other issues you're having with Firefox 29 and resolve them.

# Install Stylish and restart Firefox when prompted.

If you don't want to install an add-on, you can use the ''userChrome.css'' file instead, but I don't recommend it.

How do I open a new tab from address line?

How do I open a new tab from address line?

You Will have to hold down the Alt key and press Enter to make the link open in a new tab without using an extension.
By default links always open in the same tab.
You can search the Add-ons website for an extension if you want to change this default behavior.

Opening in new tab from a pinned tab

I use a lot pinned tabs for gmail and facebook, but there is something that is frustrating me about opening new tabs from those pinned one.
Let's say that I have more that 50 tab, if I try to open a new tab from a pinned tab, the new tab will be created at the top of the list, just near the pinned one. This is really frustrating since I don't want to go back on the top of the tab list.
Is there a way to make firefox open the new tabs at the end of the tab list ?
Thank you.

you're very welcome :))

Address bar doesn't display correct link when I open a new tab from a previous page, it displays the linkof the original page

from a web page, right click on a link+open a new TAB. the link correctly opens in a new tab, but it is not displayed in the address bar.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? ''A troubleshooting mode.'' 
1.You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holidng the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut. 
2. Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.''

When using tabbed browsing, if I click to open a new tab, why will it not automatically load my homepage in the new tab instead of a blank window?

I use tabbed browsing with the tab bar visible at all times so I can click on a new tab when convenient.Why can my homepage not load automatically on that newly opened tab insted of a blank screen with a search bar saying "you've opened a new tab".........well yeah. I have looked through the options and cannot find anything to open a new tab with the homepage. Is it possible? Have I missed it? If it's not possible, could you make it so?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I opened a new tab.....see above

The default is to load a blank page.
Try one of these add-ons:

On a Mac, how do I setup Firefox to use Command+Enter to open a new tab from the address bar? Safari and Chrome do this by default.

I tried this extension (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/customizable-shortcuts/), but it doesn't appear to support editing the current "Alt+Enter" to change to "Meta+Enter" where Meta = Command on a Mac.
I want to switch to Firefox, but this is the one and only thing preventing me from doing so! I have a decade plus of muscle memory using the key next to the space bar + enter to open a new tab. Please help!

There is an older extension named keyconfig (last updated in 2011) which might be able to do it. I haven't used it for quite a while so I'm not sure how well it works any more.

My home page is google and it works but when I open a new tab it displays an error message :Firefox can't find the file at chrome://quick_start/content/index.ht

I've made sure a dozen times that my home page is set correctly, and when I hit the home button next to the search bar it works and takes me right to google BUT whenever i open a new tab i get the error that my page cannot load and the web url that it keeps trying to remember is in the error message:
Firefox can't find the file at chrome://quick_start/content/index.html.
of course the last dot is not the url anymore but the end of the sentence for the error message, but i don't ever use chrome ever on my laptop only my cell so what is going on????? help fix god please!!!!!!

Do you have the FastStart extension?
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.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

I opened a new tab, clicked a bookmarked site FF closed all other tabs, why?

This morning I had 4 tabs open. I clicked to open a new tab and then clicked a bookmarked site on my bookmark toolbar. Firefox 21.0 closed the other 4 tabs and displayed the site I was attempting to open in the new tab. Why did this happen?
I have Windows 7HP X64 SP1, fully updated. Also have the trouble of not being able to update the Google Earth plugin that has not worked properly for the last week. The currently installed Google Earth Plugin is version 7.0.3.8542. February-26-13. When I clicked to check the plugins are up to date Firefox says the plugin needs to be updated, but the update button links back to itself and does not update the plugin. Interestingly it does not appear in the list Firefox automatically added below.
Are these 2 problems related?. I have scanned the computer with Avast Free latest version - full scan. And with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and Sophos Virus removal tool. 2 days ago Avast Free put up a red warning that I had clicked an infected link and it had saved my computer from crashing. Also asked me if I wondered why I had an infected system. Nothing showed up in any of the scans, all 3 reported my system clean.
Sue in Canada

Thank you so much cor-el that worked to enable me to update the Google Earth plugin. I disabled it in IE too before clicking the link just in case that made a difference. Then read further down on the page that I could have uninstalled it through programs and features. All working now.
As for the tab problem, seems my computer was infected with something. Yesterday after having problems logging in and my internet connection failing intermittently I booted in safe mode with networking and ran Combofix and it seems to have solved the other problems. If I could understand the report it spat out when it finished cleaning my computer I would have an idea of what the infection was.

QT Turn OFF Autoplay when video is open in new tab (CMD-CLICK url to open)

Seems to me that what ever builds the HTML for the video by itself in the new tab window has turned on autoplay. I need to turn this. I have figured out how to get WMV files to stop playing automatically, but MOV files still do. I open 20 to 30 links a day for my job and having 10 things playing at the same time drives me crazy and then I have to rewind everything. On 10.5.8 I use Multi-safari 3.2.1 and do not have this problem. I can not use Safari 4 on 10.5.8 and have had to downgrade from 10.6.2 because of this.
My theory is that maybe the HTML that is rendered is stored in WebKit and we should be able to get "Open in new tab" videos to be set with autoplay to FALSE.
Let me know if you have any questions / solutions.
PS ClickToFlash has nothing to do with this issue so do not mention it.
I have demo videos sent to an Apple Engineer that details the issue.

Here is more info to describe the issue.
These are the movies sent to the Apple Engineers to show how our
workflow has worked for 7 years until Safari 4 came out.
Again this has caused us to go back to 10.5.8 though we enjoyed some of Snow Leopards improvements.
Have your sound on when listening to safari4 so you can hear the overlaps.
