Why does safari open a new window when a search is entered

so I open safari like normal , go yahoo bookmark. then do a search thru yahoo. select it then it opens a new safari window. How do I stop this , so the selected searched item stay on current tab, rather then opening a new window

I suspect that it is the Yahoo search page which is asking for a new window.

  • Why does FF open a new window every time I try to open a new tab?

    I have tried to change this in preferences but it won't work.

    Just to confirm, have you made sure that "Open new windows in a new tab instead" located in Firefox>Options>Tabs has a checkmark beside it? If it does, I would try running Firefox in Safe Mode to see if an Add-on is potentially causing this problem.
    To run Firefox in Safe Mode:
    * Firefox>Help>Restart with Add-ons disabled>Restart
    Refer to this article for more information about Safe Mode:

  • Wy does firefox open a new window when i click on "open link on a new tab"?????

    the only time i shutdown a window is when i shutdown firefox.
    having mutiple windows invites to mistakes. please fix.

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

  • Why does Safari quit (on my Mac) when opening PDF?

    I'm on a Mac OSX 10.5.8 on Safari. Each time I first want to open a PDF, my Safari crashes. The note says, "Problem caused by Acrobat plug-in". After relaunching Safari I can open PDF files. Help?

    Hey thanks for responding so quickly! I've downloaded AppDelete
    Forgive my ignorance - what is Reader X app and how can I find it?

    Subject: Adobe Reader Why does Safari quit (on my Mac) when opening PDF?
    One of the things I have loved about Macs since switching in 2003 is:
    They tell you what went wrong when something does.
    The Acrobat plugin is corrupted.
    Solution:
    Download a trial of AppDelete. Install it and open it.
    Drag the Reader X app to the window.
    Delete everything it finds associated with Reader X and empty the trash. Re-download Reader X and re-install it.
    It will install new support and preference files and plugins. and things should go more smoothly.

  • 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'.

  • The wheel click button does not open a new window since the latest update (9.0.1)

    Hi
    I just want to report this bug in hope it will be fixed asap
    The wheel click button does not open a new window since the latest update (9.0.1)
    Thank you

    Middle-click or click the scroll-wheel on a hyperlink has always opened a '''new Tab'''. Any chance you had an add-on that changed that action, and now that add-on is disabled or incompatible?

  • Spotlight does not open a finder window when i choose Show all in finder menu?

    I have a significant number of files in my Macbook Air. A lot of them are research papers and medical literature.
    About a month ago I updated the operating system from snow Leopard to mountain Lion and I had no reasons to complain except a smaller battery time.
    Since then I installed every OS update.
    After the last update, a few days ago, Spotlight does not open a finder window when i choose Show all in finder menu.
    Spotlight continues to work properly if I write a name or expression in spotlight in a finder window but not in the upper left corner at the menu bar
    As this been described yet?
    Thank you in advance
    Miguel Tavares

    I had the same problem yesterday after performing a clean install of Mountain Lion (10.8.2) on my MacBook Pro.
    I resolved the problem by booting from the Mountain Lion Recovery Partition and then running Disk Utilty (Repair) for the primary disk on which Mountain Lion is installed.  It identified (and repaired) many permissions issues...
    When I rebooted following the repair, Spotlight worked again properly -- including the "Show All in Finder" function.

  • Why does Safari say "Blocked Plug-in" when I want a video?

    Why does Safari say "Blocked Plug-in" when I want a video?

    When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
    If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.

  • Why does Safari still accept cookies, even when I put Block Cookies "Always"

    Why does Safari still accept cookies, even when I put Block Cookies "Always",? There are always a list of every website with cookies. Is that just a record of what could've been accepted or its a bogus feature that still accepts regardless of what feature is on?

    Apple has rolled over users since OS X 10.6.8 when this issue first appeared.
    If you want a browser that actually CARES about it's users, then install Firefox, it's the only one that does.

  • How to force safari to open a new window when dock icon is clicked

    If Safari is already running on my MacBook Yosemite, and I click on the Safari icon in the dock, the Safari window is brought forward.  The behavior  I want is whenever I click the safari icon on the dock, is that a new safari browser window is opened.  I don't see this option in preferences (or any keyboard  mouse combination) that would make the dock icon open a new browser window.    (an option is available for new windows if you click on a hyperlink, but not if you click on the dock icon) .
    p.s. And I don't want to first  have to place focus on the current running safari and then click File New...too many steps when all I want is a new browser window
    Thanks in advance

    Hi css,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you would like to click on Safari in your Dock and have it open a new Safari Window. As you said in your post, clicking on Safari in the Dock brings the Safari window forward. There are a couple of possibilities to help resolve this situation. You can control-click (right click if enabled) on Safari in your Dock which will give you the option to open a new window. You can also click and hold on Safari, otherwise known as Press, to display these same options.
    Mac OS X: Additional features of the Dock - Apple Support
    Mouse clicks and key combinations for the Dock
    Control-click
    Reveals contextual menu for item. Menu choices vary per application or file. When used on Dock separator, it reveals Dock preferences. There you can turn magnification and hiding on or off, change the position of the Dock on screen, and change the minimization effect. Choose Dock Preferences to see more options.

  • Option/command does not open a new window from bookmarks

    I have an occasional problem: how come sometimes a bookmarked link in Safari does not open in a new window when I click option/command. or even shift/option/command. I have had and still have this issue over the last few iterations of OS X and Safari. Does not do it for all bookmarks just a few.

    OK. A couple of other things to try in that case.
    It may just be a corrupt preference file causing the issue, so quit Safari, trash this file and then restart Safari:
    Hard drive > Users > Your Username > Library > Preferences > com.apple.Safari.plist
    If that makes no difference, does it behave correctly when used from another user account on the same machine? If you don't have another account then use System Preferences > Accounts > \[+\] to create a temporary one for testing.
