Why the links are still opened in new windows?

Why the links are still opened in new windows even I selected the option to open in tabs?
This is one of the web I am reading (sorry that it is in simplified Chinese), I have no problems reading it in tabs in Firefox:
http://www.sodu.com.cn/mulu_30498.html

Hi,
How are you trying to open the windows? Safari does not default to opening new windows in tabs. It can open +external application+ links (e.g. from your email program, RSS viewer, etc) in a new tab, but not links from an existing website.
To open links in a new tab, you'll need to hold the ctrl key and click the link, or use the middle-mouse button if your mouse has one (or right-click on the link and choose to open it in a new tab).

Why does my lightbox keep opening a new window?

I'm currently finishing off my website and all I need to do that is make four images click into their own seperate light boxes.
I number of my code savy friends cannot find anything wrong with my code.
The problem is that when I click on the image online it opens a new window and to get back to the orginal page you have to go 'back'
this clearly isn't what a lightbox should do, is there something in my code which is wrong and making it do this? Or can I add something.
The 4 divs involved in this are named Rochelle, Jacob, Jared and Helena.

Here's what I've changed:
Added '<div id="gallery">' to your code before the lightbox gallery. If you read the Lines 9-13 of your HTML, your lightbox definition says that any 'a' links inside 'gallery' container will be lightbox enabled. In your actual gallery code, 'gallery' div was not present. Hence, Lightbox did not find any image links to load. Now, I've added the Div ID as Gallery. It works.
Hope it helps.

PDF in Frame - Open Web Link does not open in new window

I actually have 2 problems.
1. Acrobat 7.0.9. Added a link to open a web page. When the pdf is viewed from within a frame on a web page, the web page link in the pdf does not open in a new window but replaces the pdf in the frame.
2. If I download the pdf to my workstation and open it and click on the link, it does open in a new window BUT opens up 2 browser windows where the 2nd one opened is blank (yes, I am single clicking on the link)
Issue 1 occurs in both IE 6, IE 7 and Firefox ?.??

Try Ctrl-Y for preview.

Right click on a link and selecting "open in new window" does not work. How do I gewt this feature to work? PS Right click on a link and selecting open in new tab does.

No matter where the link is - in an e-mail or on a web page - the "Open in new window" feature does not work. Very annoying. Also I close Firefox in a session, but then cannot re-open it. When I shut my PC down I get a prompt to End Task -[ Firefox ] and a window opens asking if I want to save tabs and quit; quit; or cancel. After closing Firefox it does not show as an application running in Task Manager
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I recently re-installed Firefox.

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")

Links browser and open in new window

I have 2 problems with links and elinks. All time when I type "open in new window" it work but it open always in xterm, not in the same terminal I`m using at that moment for example mrvxt
Second problem is that I can`t open new tab normal or in background in elinks or links-g

I no longer have the option under 'File' on the main menu to open a new window.

In the past(recent past) I was able to open a new window of Firefox by licking on File then there was an option to open a new window(session) of Firefox. At some point which I am unsure of that option is no longer there. Does anyone know why or how I can correct or fix it?
I'd very much appreciate the help because I miss the feature very much!

If you do not see the menu bar with the File menu then see [[Menu bar is missing]]
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]]
You can also try "Reset toolbars and controls" on the [[Safe mode]] start window

Can you force a link inside a .pdf to open the "linked to" document in a new window?

When I have a link inside my .pdf document - linking to another .pdf document or to a Word document - how can I force the linked-to document to open in a new window?
I have a web site (business internal, so unfortunately I cannot point to it). My HTML menu has links to .pdf documents - no problem. However, once I open those .pdfs, they contain links to other .pdfs and to Word documents. Clicking on these links, which reside inside my .pdfs, opens the "linked-to" docs in the same page. How can I force them to open in a brand new frame?
All of my .pdfs were originally created in Word, and in the Word versions, the links DO open into new frames. I am not sure why, when I convert them to .pdfs, they lose this feature.
Can anyone help?

Hi Magenta,
Would you mind reposting this question over on the Acrobat boards? You've posted in the AIR forum and you'll have better luck with this over there.
Thanks,
Chris

Yesterday, DTA showed all PDF files on a page but today it wont. I can click on the link and DTA works from new window, but yesterday didnt have to do that. Why

Im at a webpage that lists 200 links to PDF children's books. Yesterday I clicked DTA from this page and it showed all of the PDF files. Now when I try that today it doesnt show any PDF files. However, when I click on one of the links from the first page and then use DTA, the PDF files are seen. Why did it change and why can't I select all the PDF files from the original index page? I upgraded to the newest Firefox, downgraded to an older version, and reinstalled DTA twice. Thanks in advance for any help!!

hello, for detailed questions about an addon, please use the support channels that the makers of the extension provide, since they can likely give you much better guidance (in your case please also include the exact web-address where this is/was happening).

Quick link does not open in new window

Hi all
I created an URL iView and assigned a quick link to it. The "launch in new New Window" property is set to
"display in separate window".
If i call the quick link url the iView is not shown in a separate window, but in the content area. Why?
If I click in the portal on that iView, it opens in a new window.
What am I missing here or is it a portal bug?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Paul,
I face the same problem, any findings so far?
Thanks!

Links will not open in new window from iPad but work in IE on desktop.

I am trying to set some links to open in a new tab but for some reason they just keep opening in the original tab. External links work fine but when I try to make another page from my website open in new tab, it will not work.
I have looked at the code and it all looks fine.
<a class="nonblock nontext shadow rounded-corners clearfix grpelem" id="u105617-9" href="metro_tweets.html" target="_blank"><p id="u105617"> </p><p id="u105617-2"> </p><p id="u105617-3"> </p><p id="u105617-7">Metropolitan<br/>Region TWEETS</p></a>
I have also ticked the box that says "open the link in a new window or tab".
Any ideas what the issue could be? It has worked before so I am sure it can be done.
Would it have anything to do with the site hierarchy?
Cheers
Garry

Hi Aish,
Thanks for the quick reply.
I had a feeling you would ask me those questions so I'll give you a bit more background of what I am doing.
I have created a locally accessed web app as part of project I am working on at Universty. It is a mockup of an iPad app that I will eventually build, although it is fully functional in it's web app state. For this reason it is not hosted on any web server but instead transferred to the iPad via DiskAid and accessed from Mercury Browser.
Mercury browser is the only browser that I have found that can display html files from within it's own file storage and make it look like it is being served from a server. Safari browser will not let you do this and the only other browser that I found that could do it has been discontinued (Terra Browser).
Adobe Muse has been fantastic for doing this kind of work and as I said before, the internal links opened in a new tab with Mercury Browser previously, so I am not really sure what is going on.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Cheers
Garry

Send mail with link that will open in new window.

hi,
i wrote a send mail class which sends a link with text/plain.
i want to open the link in a new page when the user clicks on it.
i don't want to use html, only text/plain.
can any one help?

You can either send a text/plain e-mail with just the URL, in which case it's up to the mailreader what it does when you click on the link, or you can send a text/html e-mail with URL, and again it's up to the mailreader whether to treat this properly or not.

HT2470 Clicking finder in the dock does not open a new window.

I seem to be experiencing some odd behaviour.
When I click the finder in the dock - no new finder window opens. The icon has an active glow but I cannot get it to launch.
Any thoughts or am I just being daft?

Ok I finally solved my problem too, this is the way I had done
Delete the following folders and files
DropboxHelperTools (Library Folder)
Dropbox (Application)
Dropbox (user)
2. Delete deleted com.apple.finder.plist
3. Delete .dropbox folder (Go to folder and then type ~/.dropbox)
4. Empty trash
5. Download and install DropBox from web again
6. During the installation, a window will pop up and mention it can't find the link, and what we need is to relink.
Bingo

OSX: FF running, but no windows open - clicking on the dock icon should open a new window.

Running OSX 10.5.8, FF3.6.10. If I close all FF windows, but leave FF running, I should be able to open a new FF window by clicking the dock icon. This doesn't work - it just brings FF to the front, but no windows open. Any ideas how I can fix this?

Is an external display connected and turned off? If not, open Mission Control. Do you see the window(s) in any other spaces?

When i'm search firefox crashes also why does my internet explore opens in new window
