Why is the option to open new links in a new window not available?

Hi, I'd like to select the option to open new links in a new window instead of new tab but the option is greyed out. Can anyone help me on this, please? I tried to untick "Block popup windows" to see if that would help but it didn't.

Do you mean the setting in Options > Tab or in the right-click context menu of a link on web pages?
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.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

  • Why does the software update say that drivers for my printers are not available? I have the drivers installed from the CD but can't add the printer because it wants to go through software update.

    I have the latest operating system, but can't get my printers added. Why does the software update say that drivers for my printers are not available? I have the drivers installed from the CD but can't add the printer because it wants to go through software update.

    It's pretty difficult to offer suggestions when you say nothing about your Mac, the version of Mac OS it's running, or the models of printers you have. This forum, however, is intended for questions about old, pre-G3 hardware, so unless you are asking about an very old Mac, this is not the forum where you'll be most likely to get help with your problem. I'd suggest you ask this question in the forum for your model of Mac or version of Mac OS X it's running. You'll be more likely to get assistance there, assuming you provide sufficient detail for anyone to make a diagnosis of the problem.
    Regards.

  • Upgraded to Firefox 23 and now my yahoo bookmarks don't have the option to open all tabs in a folder. How can I do this.

    The option to open all tabs in a folder is not available any more on my yahoo toolbar. On this computer and my home computer which I just upgraded to firefox 23 and that option disappeared. I need to open all tabs in a folder at one.

    Hi ziccs, is the missing feature to open a group of bookmarks all at once in separate tabs?
    I haven't explored the Yahoo! toolbar in detail, but it was just updated recently. I noticed the description "new user interface" on the versions page. You also can use that page to re-install the earlier version and see whether the missing function returns.

  • Setting is open new windows in new tab. How/can I open new link in a new tab automatically.

    When I go to open a link within a tab, it overrides what is there and opens.
    I would lik the option of opening a link from within a tab or the menu bar, into a new tab.
    I cant find that option, the only one being opening a new windows in a new tab
    Can you help?
    Thanks

    You can middle-click a link or the Go button on the location bar to open the link in a new tab.<br />
    You can also use Alt + Enter to open a link in the location bar in a new tab.

  • When holding on a link, why don't I have the option to open in a new tab?

    I'm trying to open PDFs and PowerPoint though my school website angel. When getting to the link that opens the power point or PDF, my classmates are able to hold on the link and get options one of which is to open In a new tab. I do have the option to copy, open, or put on reading list but do not have the option to open in a new tab so that way I can open it with a app. Anyone know why?

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

  • Safari opens links in new tabs, or in pre-existing tabs without giving me the option of opening the link in the same tab.

    Safari opens links in new tabs, or in pre-existing tabs without giving me the option of opening the link in the same tab.
    This has never happened before. Normally I would right-click and select open in new tab. How do I fix it? It's really frustrating.

    Safari > Preferences > Tabs
    "Open pages in tabs instead of windows:"
    Click the box for drop down.
    You have three choices, Never, Automatically and Always.

  • I set firefox to open a filetype (.SGF) w/ a program but it doesn't, so I set it to save/ask and neither option works, it always opens file link in a new tab.

    I've gone into the Options and set the .SGF file to open with Smartgo. It refuses to do that. Clicking on a link to a .SGF file simply opens the file as text in a new tab.
    Since this didn't work, I tried to set firefox to download it instead, because then I can use the window's filetype associations to open it. It won't download the file unless I actually right-click and save-as on the link.
    This is tedious when viewing lots of these files. I even set it to Ask me after I saw the the Download option didn't work. It doesn't Ask me. What is going on here?
    Also I am using firefox 23
    EDIT: It seems to be website specific. Some websites will allow me the option to open it in Smartgo, others will just open it in a tab as text. What is causing this discrepancy and can it be surmounted through browser settings?
    An example website to showcase the issue is:
    http://igokisen.web.fc2.com/wr/lg.html
    clicking on any of these links will not download, open, or ask about what you want to do with the file.

    That happens if the server sends the file as text/plain.
    You can see this if you open "Tools > Page Info > General": Content-Type: text/plain
    Files send this way will always open in a tab.

    Hi BigBinAz,
    Try to start firefox in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-extensions-themes-to-fix-problems safe mode], and in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode#Safe_Mode_options Safe Mode options] select ''Continue in Safe Mode'', don't make any changes in safe mode, and check it again.
    '''EDIT''' : "select ''Continue in Safe Mode'', don't make any changes in safe mode" '''there is not an option any more, the safe mode options don't exist any more''', so don't search for safe mode options.
    thank you

  • It is possible to switch immediately to the new tab when I open a link in a new tab

    When I open a link in a new tab, Firefox does not switches to the new tab!
    Is there an option like desktop firefox?

  • Firefox won't open mailto links in a new window like it used to...it just opens gmail in the current tab.

    I recently upgraded firefox and now whenever I click a mailto link it opens gmail in the current tab rather than in a new window. How can I get it to open email links in a new window.

    My MAILTO problem was finally fixed on the June 29, 2012 Firefox version 14 beta 10 release.

  • New tabs are not updating the names of the sites they have loaded. When I open a new tab and load a site, the tab simply stays named "New Tab". When I open a link in a new window, it shows "Connecting..." even while its fully loaded.

  • The option to open a new tab is not working?

    The option to open a new tab is not working?
    I click on the little box but nothing happens?

    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

  • When I start mozilla or open any link in a new window I get the desired page to load but an additional new tab page opens up along with it, fix?

    When I start mozilla or open any link in a new window I get the desired page to load but an additional new tab page opens up along with it. I've tried switching my homepage to different things (new tab, firefox home, show blank page) but I always get an additional new tab to open. How do I get only a single page to open?

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
    '''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
    *Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    '''For Firefox versions previous to 29.0:'''
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]] button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    '''For Firefox 29.0 and above:'''
    #Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''.
    Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
    #At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]]. Click on it.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
