  • Why does firefox intermittantly open a new window when I click on an existing tab? This only happens when I have three or more tabs open.

    Several times now Firefox 4.0.1, when clicking on a tab (three or more tabs open) I immediately moves that tab to it's own window and closes the tab in the existing window.

    That is probably the "tear-off tabs" feature. A slight movement (usually downward) when clicking on an existing tab will cause that tab to "tear-off" and open in a new window. You can drag the tab back to the previous window. You can also install this add-on to stop the behavior: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bug489729-disable-detach-and-t/

  • Why does Firefox sometimes open a new window when I navigate to an existing tab?

    I often have 7 or 8 tabs open in Firefox. Sometimes when I click on a tab, Firefox opens it in a new window instead of just going to that tab. I haven't figured out a pattern when it does this.

    A very slight movement (usually downward) will cause the tab to "tear off"/"tear away" into a new window. You can drag the tab back to the original window from the new window.
    You can install this Add-on to stop the "tear off"/"tear away" behavior:

  • Why does Firefox now open a new window "when I click on a link" while using? It's a new annoyance that only appeared when I downleaded or added an add-on or extension. Please help me! Thank you VERY much!

    A new window opens when I click on a link or go to a new site.

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

  • When using the FILE SEND LINK function, why does the system launch a new window if the email app is already open and active?

    I normally have my Yahoo! and Gmail e-mail accounts open and logged into the entire time my system is on. Using your instructions, I have set theFireFox 'mailto' option to USE GMAIL.

    Seems Gmail automatically logged me out. When I logged back in and tried again, it still opened a new window, but used my open account to process the e-mail.
    Must it always open a new window (which then needs to be closed) in executing this function?

  • First link always opens a new window

    I'm using Tomcat 3.2.3 and I have been unable to determine why the first link always opens a new window. From that point on, each hyperlink displays the page in the same window, as they should.
    For example, my index.jsp page has a hyper link to the logon.jsp page. The logon.jsp page always comes up in a new window - even though the achor <a> tag is not setting any 'target'. It also doesn't matter if the first page is index.htm
    I don't know if this is relevant, but Tomcat is running inside of Apache using the mod_jserv module. (at least I think it is.. I'm not sure how to tell... I followed the instructions at the Tomcat site and everything seems to load fine)
    Thanks for any help....
    E-

    try by explicitly setting the target of the form to the same window.
    I think it should work.

  • Can I set Safari to open a new window when I click on it in the dock?

    is there a way to set my safari to open a new window when i click on it in the dock i surf multiple websites at once and i dont like how i have to right clik and scroll up to pick open a new window. can i set it to just open a new window instead of opening the page that already opened

    yeah, instead of using multiple windows, you can use multiple tabs inside one window. That way, you can browse multiple websites at once without having to flick back and forth between multiple windows.
    To open tabs of the websites you want to browse, just right-hand click on whatever website you want to visit (For example a site from your bookmarks or a site from a Google search result) and select 'open link in tab'.

  • Firefox 6 ,Hyperlink not opening when I select Open In New Tab, it always Open In New Windows.

    I have just upgrade to Firefox 6 and I having problems opening Hyperlink when I select Open In New Tab, it always Open In New Windows. It will work when I open another copy of Firefox browser but not on my main browser. Any suggestions to fix this ?

    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).

  • Firefox lately always opens a new window

    Whenever I click a link in firefox, whether I option-click it or right-click it and choose "Open in new Tab." Firefox lately always opens a new window, not a tab. For the life of me, I cannot get it to open a page in a new tab.
    There was a time when I had one window open, and every time I would choose to create a new tab, it would create it in that window instead of the window I was currently in, but I have since closed that window, and now I cannot get a link to open in a new tab no matter what I do.
    I have tried both selecting and deselecting "Open new windows in a new tab instead" In Firefox preferences, restarting Firefox in "Safe" mode, etc. to no avail.
    How do I fix this?

    There are other settings in about:config that might be causing that effect.
    <pre>browser.link.open_newwindow
    3 = divert new window to a new tab (default) (checked*)
    2 = allow link to open a new window (unchecked*)
    1 = force new window into same tab
    * First checkbox in Options > Tabs (on Mac, Preferences > Tabs)
    browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction
    0 = open_newwindow preference honored for all new windows
    2 = open_newwindow preference honored for all new windows except script windows with features (default)
    1 = open_newwindow preference ignored completely (same effect as open_newwindow=2)
    browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external
    -1 = open_newwindow applies to external links (default)
    3 = open external links in a new tab
    2 = open external links in a new window
    1 = open external links in active tab </pre>

  • Why does iPhoto always open/appear at launch?

    Why does iPhoto always open/appear at launch? Someone used my computer under another account, and now my preferences seem to be changed. How do I fix it so iPhoto must me opened manually?

    Some possibilities: 
    Right click on the iPhoto icon in the Dock. Is Open at Log In Selected?
    Check your System Preferences -> Accounts -> Log In Items
    Is there a camera or anything that your Mac might think is a camera (flash drive, USB Hard Disk formatted to a FAT format, phone) attached to your Mac. If so, disconnect it. If you don't want to disconnect it, set iPhoto to "Do Nothing" when a camera is attached. You do this in the iPhoto Preferences.

  • Why does safari re-open my last visited page instead of my homepage? I have the preferences set to always open to homepage in new tabs or windows or upon starting safaring.

    Why does Safari open my last visited page?? I have gone into preferences and said to open to homepage when starting safaring or opening a new tab yet each time it opens to the last page I visited.

      Hold down "shift" key and launch Safari
      or hold down "option" key before quitting Safari to discard saved windows from previous session.
    Disable Resume feature.
    10.7 Lion
    System Preferences > General
    Uncheck the box next to "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps".
    10.8 Mountain Lion
    System Prefernces > General
    Chckmark the box next to "Close windows when quitting an application".

  • Can the "Finder" icon be set to always open a new window?

    Can the "Finder" icon (on the dock) be set to simply open a new window every time when clicked? Instead of always selecting the dialog "new finder window" under "File" ? Or having to right clicking on the FINDER dock icon, then selecting "new finder window".
    I'd like to simply click on the finder icon and have a new window just open every time.
    Same with Safair. Simply click on the "Safari" dock icon, and a new blank safari window would open, instead of selecting "new window" under safari "File" menu.
    I don't know if this can be set by setting a command via terminal, or ?
    There are no options under preferences to do this.
    Usually there is some "command line" done within the terminal app, to tweek most default settings, like what I want to do...?

    The easiest way to open new windows in Finder, Safari and just about any other program in Mac OS X is to use the keyboard shortcut, 'Command' + 'n'
