When opening url which is already open in another window I want a new instance of this url not to be taken to existing window for this url

I often need multiple instances of the same page open at the same time. I write pages that run complex php/javascript tasks and I need multiple instances open concurrently. The new default ( the latest version of firefox) does not seem to allow this and take you to a previously openned window with that url so assumes that people are just viewing information on a page which is a vast oversimplification of the use of the web. How do I revert to the previous default behaviour. If I want a page that I already have open I always find it for myself thanks. It is a pity that this new behaviour is enforced rather than an option given for enabling it.
Thanks very much

If you try to open the same URL in more than one tab then you may have the "Switch to tab" feature preventing that.
Hold down the Alt or Shift key while an entry in the drop down list is highlighted to disable "Switch to tab" and see the URL of all entries instead.
* Alt + Enter opens the highlighted URL in a new tab.
* Shift + Enter opens the highlighted URL in the current tab.
* Cursor Right copies the highlighted URL to the location bar in case you want to edit it.

  • When I click a link it won't open up another window, what do I do?

    There is a website I use for my business and when I select several items on the main page to produce a report nothing happens. On my old pc the report would open in another window. Nothing happens with my new macbook pro. Why won't the report open?

    ", what do I do?"
    Give us more info to the problem
    Is the report in another browser window or different application?
    In the General Safari Preferences there are options for link behavior.
    What type of file are the reports in? html, pdf, .xls ?
    What website? Is it internal at your work?
    etc.
    I am sure someone can help with just one or two bits of extra info.

  • When I click on something to open in another window it does not open.

    When I click on a link Mozilla populates another window but it never loads anything. I end up having to open Internet Explorer to view anything that has a link that I need to click on.

    That's helpful information.
    What version of iPhoto? Assumung 09 or 11...
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

    You can only use one iTunes library at a time when you sync your devices. If you want to sync to a new computer now, look at this.

    I am running XP SP2 fully patched. I recently upgraded to 3.6.3 and since then, clicking on an icon that normally would open another windows (for example, a printer-friendly version of the current web page), nothing happens. In these situations, I have been forced to go to IE or Crome in order to accomplish what I need to do. Very frustrating. Also clicking in the slider area has no effect. "Page Up" and "Page Down" keys work. Holding down left mouse button on slider works. Also very frustrating. Can someone help

    Your iPhone can take multiple calls. If you answer your phone from one person or call someone and another call comes into you, you will hear a beep and if you pull your phone away from your ear, you will see that you can hang up the call with the 1st person or answer the 2nd call and then swap between the two.
    I have no idea what you mean by you calling someone who is already talking to someone. I've never been able to see on my iPhone that someone I'm calling is already talking to someone else.

  • Yosemite, messages, preferences are grayed out. It opens but the window for messages is blank.

    Hi,
    You appear to have the wrong end of the stick as they say.
    Just starting your computer needs certain Fonts to be present to display the text you are likely to see.
    Most of those needed to do this are in the Hard Drive icon/System/Library/Fonts.
    Some apps require different Fonts  and in the case of Messages this is AppleGothic (all one word) and is found in Hard Drive/Library/Fonts.
    You would normally use the Apple App called Font Book to check these Fonts are working properly.
    Prior to the Yosemite version of Messages (still called Messages 8 like th Mavericks version) you could change the Font use in the actual Messages in the app.
    On a Character or word or Sentence basis there was the Format Menu.
    There was also a Pane in th Preferences called Messages that let you choice the Font, the colour of the text and the  colour of the balloons for Out going Messages and also Overriding the incoming ones.
    You can no longer do this as the Preferences Pane and the Format Menu have gone.

  • Can anyone recommend an external storage device to supplement my mac book air?  I already have a time capsule but want the new device to replicate the data on that so ideally would like a device that i can connect to the time capsule through a cable.

    Can anyone recommend an external storage device to supplement my mac book air?  I already have a time capsule but want the new device to replicate the data on that so ideally would like a device that i can connect to the time capsule through a cable. 

    Hi CJR
    I'm not sure how Time Capsule can be replicated onto your external drive but there is a USB port on the back of TC that can be hooked up to any recent external drive.
    Another thing to think about , besides a Time Capsule failure, is the theft of your Time Capsule, so it might be a good idea to consider separating any redundant back-up from your Time Capsule or both my be stolen.
    TC will back up until full and then begin deleting the oldest back-ups.  Mine is a 2TB Time capsule.
    My back-up plan is as follows:
    1.  Macbook Air back-up on Time Capsule though Time Machine backs up everything - I think it's about every 30 min or so.
    2.  Contacts, reminders, appointments, notes, email are backed up through iCloud.
    3.  iTunes and non-itunes purchased music is on iMatch (and no need to back-up) and any non-iTunes music is backed up on an HP external drive (in case Time Capsule dies)
    4.  Photos are on my MacBook Air and are backed up on my HP external drive.
    5.  Office documents (Excel, Powerpoint, Access etc) are stored in a Skydrive app (like iCloud) and Skydrive syncs these docuemnts with the MS  cloud and my old PC and does not alter their native format like storing in iCloud would do.
    Cheers

  • When I open a web page I want a new tab to a potential new page to pop up so I can open another page without opening another broweer

    On the old firefox, when I opened a web page I could click on an unopened tab to open a new page. Now I have to go back and click on the browser again to open an entirely different page.

    Use Toolbar Layout (Customize) to open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.
    *if missing items are in the Customize palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
    *if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the Customize palette then click the "Restore Defaults" button to restore the default toolbar setup
    You can check for problems caused by a corrupted localstore.rdf file if this didn't help.

  • When opening a second window, homepage doesn't open and can't access any other site, stays a blank white screen.

    After updating to Firefox 6, every time I open a second window, all I get is a blank, white page. My homepage doesn't open, either, even when I hit the home button. I have to manually type in my homepage address, and then, it's the only address that will show in the address bar, even after I leave the page or open any other tabs. The same thing happens when I open new tabs in the second window. Also, the back and forward arrows, stop, and refresh buttons do not work in the second window. None of the short-cut keys on the keyboard will work with in the second window, either. Most of the time, any page that I go to, in the second window, continues to load, never fully loading.
    I even went back to Firefox 5 to see if that would solve the problem, but it didn't. I still have the same issues.
    Everything appears to be working fine in the first window.
    How can I clear all this up?
    EDIT: I waited a few days and reinstalled Firefox 6.0 and everything seems to be working okay.

    There's a good chance this is related to a bug that kicks in when you do not have Flash running in any tab and you open a new window to a page that does use Flash. The details are in this recent thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/955659 Opening New Windows and Shockwave Flash].
    I don't know whether opening a Flash site in a private window makes this problem occur more frequently. Maybe it does because the new window is more isolated from the previous one???

  • When opening up Firefox, I kep getting a message: Firefox kept this page from reloading". My home page opens up but some other websites do not open until I hit the "allow" but. How do I remove this or adjust this?

    My home page opens up fine, and there is a message, " Firefox kept this page from automatically reloading", and this same message shows up all the time. When I got to new websites, they will not open until I hit the "allow button" How do I turn this on or off, or adjust it?

    Go to Tools --> Options.
    In the Advanced tab go to "General". Uncheck the check box "Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page"
