Why do I have to click open in new tab or window for my gmail links to open?

Hello, When using Gmail in my Firefox web browser every link I click on to open goes to a new tab with a blank page and the following url - https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ui=2&view=bsp&ver=ohhl4rw8mbn4. However, if i right click and open in a new tab/window Firefox will then open the link and send me to the page the link was intended to go. It does this with every link I try and open from Gmail.
I tried using IE and Chrome and when I click the link within the email body, it opens it up with no issues at all.
Firefox is my default browser so I would like to not have to do this all the time. Anyone know what is causing this?
I am using the latest version of Firefox and Windows Vista Premium.

Sometimes we see odd behaviour due to a misbehaving add-ons. I suggest starting by disabling all of your add-ons (Tools->Add-ons) to see if any of them are the culprit.

Problems using right click to open in new Tab or Window. Will not work. How do you solve this. Have v5.0 installed.

I have the latest version of Firefox installed. Version 5.0.
When searching on Google and use right-click to open in new tab or window. Keep getting blank tab.
Can somebody advise how to solve this.
Thank you.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

How can I set home page for a new tab? how can i get firefox to open the home page every time i open a new tab in Windows vista home basic??
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Firefox can have multiple home pages if you wish. Each home page that will open when starting Firefox is separated by the "|" character.
See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
To have new tabs open a specific web site, add one of the following extensions:

Whenever I open a new tab or window the back arrow on the navigation bar doesn't work

When I open a new tab or window the back arrow in the navigation bar isn't highlighted and doesn't work

Do you have already visited more than one website in a tab if that happens?

Never used it myself, so I'm not sure if you can set to about:home or not. You'll have to give it a try.

WHY DO I HAVE TO CLICK ON " GROUP YOUR TABS" IN ORDER TO SEE HOW MANEY TABS ARE THERE? WHY CAN NOT SEE THE TABS?

help...........
it happen, because i wanted to customize my fire fox and drag the tabs over navigation tool bar.. now i can not see the tabs unless i click on group your tabs button :( and can not change it any more

By PM
''hi John, i can not see, how many sites are open, because i do not see the tabs! i am sorry but i do not know how to explain it:( I see a window with my bookmarks -toolbar, menu bar and navigation bar, but no tabs for the sites, i am on! thank you for taking time and answering! ''
What happens when you open a new tab for instance use Keyboard shortcut Ctrl +T does that open a new tab that you can see. Please attach a screenshot of your ordinary Firefox page e.g. open on this forum. And a screenshot of the Group Your tabs view.

I could suggest trying the Firefox reset, but that may be rather premature

I keep getting redirects if I click on a link. If I click the same link with open in new tab or window it opens fine.

I get redirects always in current open page. If I click a link and say open in new tab or new window it does not redirect. I've noticed explorer is now advertising built in software to eliminate someone hijacking their browser. If I have to keep searching for tools to clean registry's and browser issues -- I may have to switch back to Explorer or Chrome. Lately my Firefox which I'm most used to is driving me nuts... Why can't you guys provide a tool that cleans the adware, hijacks, etc off the browser? I even downloaded the latest version and I'm still having the same problem-- seems the hijack to redirect remains......

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Context menu hotkey to open in new tab is different for links (T) & bookmarks (W); using T for bookmark deletes bookmark!--why?

When I want to open a link in a new tab, I right-click and press T. I ''think'' that the same key used to work for opening bookmarks in new tabs, also. At least I developed a reflex that always chose T for a new tab, whatever I was right-clicking on. Then a while ago, probably after one of the updates I automatically install (some time in version 3.x), I started noticing something different and extremely frustrating: not only is the hotkey for opening bookmarks in new tabs now different (W instead of T), which is just poor design--but to add injury to insult, when my still-stubborn reflexes pressed T, the bookmark was ''deleted''. Gone. I have thousands of bookmarks, and I make them so I don't have to remember things. If one is lost, there may be no finding the page again.
EDITED:
Having posted this problem, I just realized that I've answered the why-it-happens part of the question. We're left with the why-was-it-allowed-to happen, but that's unimportant if we can put an end to the confusing behavior.
T in the bookmark panel and menus is Cut, which is standard in all kinds of software, and that my lost bookmarks could be restored IF I remembered to paste them again immediately. (I swear I checked it out just before originally posting, and Cut didn't appear, though Copy did. Maybe I was hallucinating.) Anyway, knowing this will help with the long-term problem, but it's still a bad idea to have two different hotkeys for the same operation. Hence what needs to change is using T as the hotkey in the links context menu.
Here's my proposal: Change the hotkeys for "Open in new window" and "Open in new tab" in both the right-click menu for links and the right-click menu for bookmarks. Right now we have:
Links
* Open Link in New Tab (T)
* Open Link in New Window (W)
Bookmarks
* Open Link in New Tab (W)
* Open Link in New Window (N)
N0te that the bookmarks menu is mnemonically backwards; Window should be W. Both menus should be:
* Open Link in New Tab (N)
* Open Link in New Window (W)
Can someone take care of this in an update, please?

This also drives me nuts, I work in research online and use firefox as its tabbed browing is so good, and I ofetn have to open lots of links in rapid succession from web-pages - obviously I use right click T as the fasterst method of doing this, and I use it so ofetn that it is now a reflex.
But, whenever I try to open a bookmark from my toolbar (much less often) I tend to deletye it, and if I am lucky enough to notice before I do anything else I have to go through a laborious process to undo the delete...
Interesting to read the reason above, but I would suggest that this is something that needs to be standardised across all of a browser's context menus, otherwise browsing becomes jarring.
I am all in favour of 'T' opening in a new tab from all context menus, but if this is not do-able I think you should consider picking a different letter. The N & W proposal above is good.
Thanks!

When I click on a website it opens a new tab or window with an advertisement

When I click on a website, whether it be after doing a search to open a site or when I hit enter after entering a password or even just click on next to go to the next page, mozilla pops up a new tab or window with an advertisement in it. It has been doing this for several weeks now. I have tried running antivirus software and it hasn't helped.

Firefox 4 has massive delay opening a new tab with audio content, Firefox 3.6.16 opens the same link instantly, why?

When I open a new tab to stream an audio mp3 file from the server. Firefox 3.6.16 streams the audio instantly, Firefox 4 has really long delay with just white blank page, befor it comes with QT player. why?

I've been searching for a solution for this for months. Frankly, I'm sick of Mozilla ignoring this problem, which has persisted from version 4 through 6. Makes me ill.
The content is actually downloading, but Firefox hides the content until the entire file is downloaded. It used to display and allow you to play the partially downloaded content. Safari does this with ease. If someone can point out the parameter in about:config that controls this, I'd be grateful.

Create Hyperlinks that open in new tab or window?!

Hello,
Ok, so, this has been asked other times for many versions of InDesign and most common response is to do it in Acrobat Pro. WHY?!!!! I couldn't even easily figure out how to do it there and frankly, don't want to. That seems so backwards and tedious to have to do...seriously. How is this not an option in InDesign Hyperlink edit creation/options yet?!! It is SO simple. Please tell me I'm missing something... I love Adobe products and especially CC products that are getting better and more time saving...but this is so dumb, I'm sorry. I'm no smarty software engineer but I know what user friendly is and how things should work for everyone...and it seems like an easy thing to make possible. Many people create PDF's in InDesign for viewing/downloading in a browser and this needs to be an option with-in InDesign CC. Simple as that. When the PDF is opened in Acrobat the links do open in new tab/window but NOT when it is viewed in a browser. This is why I should or maybe shouldn't work for Adobe, I wouldn't let little things like this, that actually makes a big difference in user experience, go unnoticed and unchanged over so many new releases and updates...or ever be taken away. I guess I'll put in an InDesign CC features request...
Thanks to anyone who agrees and relays...or lets me know I'm missing something.
Andy

I would also like a solution to this problem. It seems to have been around for quite a while.

How can I open a new tab not right next to the one I open from but next to the last?

Before I switched to the current version of Firefox, the new tab that I would open, was opening right after the last open tab previously opened.
Now if I have 4 tabs open and I open a new tab from inside the first one, the new tab opens as number 2 tab.
Is there an option that toggles the opening sequence ?

A couple of methods, first use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/61766/ New Tabs at the End] add-on. The second method involves changing a hidden preference.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# In the filter box type '''related'''
# Double-click on the preference browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent to change its value to '''false'''

Firefox doesn't open a new tab unless I access a random link. How do I fix this?

The problem that I have with my Firefox browser is that when I click the '+' button to open a new tab, it doesn't open. But if I click on some random link, it opens in a new tab. This has been going on for almost 2 weeks and I don't know what could have caused this problem. I hope that you can help me. I tried reinstalling Firefox, but the problem persists. Thank you.

I suggest you to upgrade your browser to Firefox 7 and check:

Bookmark 'Open in new Tab' or 'Window' doesn't on this latest install

Right clicking on a bookmark, allows me to open link in a new tab or window.... this works for the first while, but then breaks down and doesn't open anything. Restarting FF 4.0 works to resolve this issue. But lately after a half hour of working properly.. I have to restart. Never had this issue with 3.6... this a new bug?
