Why can't I open another tab in the current window anymore?

I have not had an issue with this problem until today. I have had my laptop since May 2010 and I have been using firefox the whole time. Today, my roommate used my computer, but used internet explorer. Since then, I have not been able to open another tab on the current page.

Perfect solution. The resolution was not letting me get past the user agreement and into the iPod settings.
Really appreciate your taking time to respond. Thank you!

  • Just loaded v5.0. Why can I not open a link in the current tab as is usual?

    Left click does nothing with hot links. Right click only allows me to open the page in a new tab or window.

    Does this happen on all web sites, or only certain web sites?
    If it is limited to certain web sites, can you give example URLs?
    If it is on Sympatico.ca, see these threads:

  • Why can't I open multiple tabs in safari on my I pad air

    Why can't I open multiple tabs in safari on my I pad air

    Don't know since we don't know that you are doing.
    Are you tapping the blue + sign in the upper right corner of the Safari toolbar? That is what you do to open a new tab.

  • Why does Firefox keep opening new Windows rather than a new Tab in the current window?

    I have " Open a new Tab in the current Window" select in Preferences.
    Why then does this version (Version 4) keep opening new Windows, rather than new Tabs in the current Window.
    This feature worked fine in 3.6.1.3, but in Version 4, it is a frigging pain in the rigging!
    C'mon, Mozilla - time for an URGENT update ...

    That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.

  • Why can't I open a document with the password

    why can't I open a document with the said right password!!!! !

    Hi Anthony,
    What problem are you facing in opening the document? Is there any error message?
    I would recommend you to try again and as passwords are case sensitive so please make sure that you type the password in exactly same case sequence as you did when you set the password.

  • Can I set up a new window to open without all the tabs from the current window opwning?

    I have a new computer at work with what must be a new version of firefox. I use multiple windows to do my job. When I open a new window, all the tabs from the current window open in the new one. I am wondering how to configure a new window to open with either a blank page or just my homepage?

    I restarted Firefox and changed the homepage settings a to a different choice and back to the desired page then restarted Firefox again. This eliminated all the initial tabs from opening from opening in the new window. I am not sure how all the pages were cached or what I should have done but I no longer have this issue.

  • Why can i see only one picture in the illustration windows with iTunes 10.5.1?

    why can i see only one picture in the illustration windows since iTunes 10.5.1?

    Assuming Apple doesn't eviscerate the files of the secondary graphics with another upgrade, there could be a plug in that reads the graphic and runs along side iTunes..we should get someone or Apple to program an alternative If we have to accept this downgrade in iTunes proper.
    I've developed a quick workaround, and am still hoping Apple will fix this!
    Go To Get Info on the tune you want to see secondary artwork for.
    Go To the Artwork tab
    Drag the back cover to the desktop, and it will create a new jpg you can open with quick viw or prieview where you can see it large!
    you end up with a lot of jpgs on the desktop to discard!

  • Opening new tabs makes the browser window wider

    when opening a new tab in safari
    it makes the browser window bigger (at the bottom)
    but not only at the bottom actually
    after a few close-open's it also starts growing at the top
    and for me it's unacceptable cause there are folders that i need fulltime access to (at the top)
    is there a way (a script) to prevent safari "grow" and make the browser window bigger in a while ?
    i don't really know why is it happening because if you press cmd+t it opens a new tab and the browser window kinda slides bigger at the bottom but then if you press cmd+w it does the opposite and the browser window stays the same size after those actions
    i can't follow but after some time it starts to be bigger not only at the bottom
    it grows til the dock and then starts growing at the top
    is there a way to prevent that ?
    i mean take opera for example. it always stays the same size and new opened tabs take the "inside space" if you know what i mean. the browser window doesn't get bigger. there is space allocated especially for tabs
    i like safari but it is very important for me that it stays the same size all the time
    i have all windows and folders situated exactly where i want them and if something moves and covers other items, it gets uncomfortable
    thank you

    Yes, it sounds like this is the cause.
    Some pop-up window code forces the new window to be a certain size. Since it's intended to open in a new window, that normally wouldn't cause problems. But you're forcing the pop-up to open as a new tab in the current window, which causes the current window to be resized to that new page's defined size.

  • Can't open a tab in the same window

    Hello, tell me, please, why can't I open a new tab in the same window. maybe I did something wrong done in the settings?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    *Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Why does ctrl+Left click a link open a new window? It should open a new tab in the current window.

    When I try to Ctrl+Left click to open a link in a new tab, it will open it in a new window instead. Then while in the new window if I Ctrl+Left click a link it will open a new tab in the second window. If I then go back to the first Firefox window and Ctrl+Left click a link the second firefox window will pop up and the new tab will be created there. Why won't the Ctrl+Left click work when only one window is open?

    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).

  • Why can't I open iPod icon in the iTunes menu?

    I'm a new iPod user. I can download files and create playlists with no problem. When I click on a playlist icon in iTunes, I get a summary of all the songs within that playlist.
    However when I click on the iPod device icon in iTunes, nothing happens. I don't get any summary, music or any new iPod tabs in the main window. The only thing that appears is the iPod software user agreement, which only shows as a partial screen. The right side of the user agreeement does not appear. I don't know if this is causing the iPod device not to open when the icon is selected.
    Cannot locate an answer to this problem anywhere.

    Perfect solution. The resolution was not letting me get past the user agreement and into the iPod settings.
    Really appreciate your taking time to respond. Thank you!

  • Whenever I click the + Tab to open a new tab, it doesn't do anything. It seems like it has a safety lock on or something. It will not allow me to open up another tab in the same window.

    I try to open up another webpage on the same window, by clicking on the + Tab Button next to the current webpage Im viewing. For some reason it will not do anything. It will not open up.

    This problem has been associated with the Ask toolbar. You could try disabling it here:
    Tools > Add-ons > Extensions
    You may want to update to 3.6.17 to take advantage of security fixes.

  • Why does "open in new tab" function, open in both new tab, and the current window ?

    Right click on something, select "open in a new tab" As well as opening in a new tab, quite frequently the current window is overlayed with the same thing.

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

  • Why can I not open new tabs?

    I can not open a new tab no matter what I do. The only time a new tab will open is if I click a link that takes me to a different site & then a new tab will open, but I can not open another one just by clicking on it or using the menu from it.

    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.
    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
