Why when i click on a tab it opens the tab in a new window?

every time i click on a tab, without me directing the tab, it opens in its own window... How can i change this?

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, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" 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.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

  • When I click on a link that opens up automatically in a new window (ie internet banking), it will not load at all.Page remains blank.

    Links that open in new windows do not load. The page remains blank. I have downloaded other web browsers and these pages all work with these browsers. I have been using firefox for years and this has only started happening in the last month or so. Is there an update that can fix this? I have also uninstalled and then reinstalled firefox and still the same thing.
    There are no error messages, just a picture of a white sheet of paper in the top left hand corner with the writing "search book marks and history". New tabs are working, it's just the new windows that won't load.

    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 to disable all extensions.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • When i klick a link that should open the page in a new window it opens up a blank page

    For example a link like this: javascript:%20window.open('http://www.survey-xact.dk/LinkCollector?key=TQ8P4KJN1K3P',%20'_blank',%20'height=580,width=800,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes');undefined
    It opens up a new window, but blank. Happens pretty often so I´m greatful if I could get help fixing this.

    That link doesn't seem to exist anymore on that server: http://www.survey-xact.dk/LinkCollector?key=TQ8P4KJN1K3P

    hello kipurr, you can enter '''about:config''' into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up), search for the preference named '''browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent''' and double-click & change its value to '''false'''.

  • I click a link but it doesn't open. Instead I get a popup saying "Open the link in a new window," "Open link in a new tab," etc. How can I kill this popup or whatever it is forever?

    I click a link but it doesn’t open. Instead I get a popup saying “Open the link in a new window,” “Open link in a new tab,” etc. How can I kill this popup or whatever it is forever?

    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.

    Apple does not support downgrading the iOS. If you try installing an earlier iOS you get the error message. Apple only supports installing/restoring to iOS 6.0.1 on the 4G and 5G iPods.

  • Often with 2 or 3 tabs/websites open, the tab does not have the X on the right side to close it. I have to right clock and hit Close Tab. Seems random. How can I assure all tabs have the X?

    Sometimes when I have 2 or more websites open, the tabs for them do not have the"X" on the right end that I can click to close them. Others right next to it may have the X or not - it seems random. The only way to close the x-less tabs is to right click and select Close tab. How do I tweak it so there are always X's? The only relevant add-on I can think of is Colorful Tabs, and I have the latest version of it.

    If you are not new to browsers, you would probably prefer the single "X" at the far right of the tabs bar to close the active tab, but in any case your choices are described for the configuration option of '''browser.tabs.closeButtons''', see

  • When I'm on a page with many links it used to highlight or underline the link I was looking at ... so when it opened the link in a new window, I could look back and not lose my place

    It sounds like you have chosen a publishing template rather than a word processing template. There are two basic modes in MS Word: word processing and publishing layout. Word processing mode (and all word processing templates) have a continuous text box in the page for writing text. The publishing layout mode (and publishing templates) are documents that have text boxes placed for articles, titles, pictures, etc. Be sure to choose the word document template and you’ll get what you expect. Do not choose the word publishing document.

  • Why, when i click a requested popup link, does the popup open as a full-screen tab, not as a sized popup as per the link parameters?

    i am building a webpage with requested popup links. other browsers show me a popup as expected but firefox just opens the popup in a new tab, no sizing, nothing.

    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction (2)

  • When I use yahoo images and i open an image in a new window, it tweakes out firefox so that panes are distorted and exerything, the whole firefox browser looks like an F5 tornado took it apart and lumped it on my desktop... is this a known glitch?

    When I use yahoo images and open an image in a new window, the page, once I click its tab causes the entire browser to scramble graphically, making it nearly impossible to navigate further. I right-clicked and selected close tab. That regains the visual clarity of the browser. But how can I fix this to browse the images?

    Phillipp,
    I tried it again using "save link as", and this time it actually worked! I just now downloaded several more using the "save link as" option, and it works perfectly. Thanks. Problem solved.

  • Why when I click restore, does it go through the motions but not actually change any of the data to match the last backup?

    So I just got a new computer and when I added Itunes it's missing over half the songs. My old computer is useless so I cant get the songs from there. I thought I might be able to transfer the songs from my ipod to the itunes but in case that didnt work I backed up my ipod. When the itunes only erased the songs i had and added their less than half full list I immediatly stopped the sync and restored from my last backup. Itunes and my ipod go through the motions like its going to work but my ipod still only has the songs which are on this itunes even though the intallation never finished. Why is this happening and how can i get my songs back?
    Why is it that apple has never made transferring your songs when you get a new computer any easier? It is the most frustrating thing.

    Synced media like songs and apps are not included in the iPod backup that iTunes makes. Thus, if that media is not in the iTunes library it can be restore to the iPod.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • How to open the url link in new window or new tab in Sharepoint

    Hello,
        Am having one custom list and one column name  contains type (Hyperlink & picture).I want to open this in a new tab on click I tried but i didn't get any solution even I follow this link also.
    https://wb2-web.sharepoint.com/blog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=9 
    and I didn't get this line of code:     <a
    onfocus="OnLink(this)" href="{$url}" >  
    Any Help

    You can do it one of two ways:
    1. Insert some CSS that will change the target to "_new".
    2. Change the field that the user enters information in to a single line of text, then create a calculated column that is:
    =CONCATENATE("<a href=",[URL Field]." target=new>Click here</a>")
    Format that as a number.

  • Captivate 7 Click box and bottons not able to open an URL on a new window

    I inserted a button and a click box in CP7 to open an URL on a new window. The URL opens but in a New Tab. There is an issue that the URL cannot be opened on a NEW WINDOW, I am using IE and Chrome. Do you have any ideas about this issue and how to troubleshoot it? I tried with Safari and it works fine.
    Thanks, Jorge - Adobe Captivate 7 user.

    Hi Jorge
    It's my understanding that all you can do is to configure the link to open in a new "whatever". Whether you get the link opening in a tab or a window is left up to the browser and how the particular user has their browser configured. For example, I use Firefox and when I look at its settings here is what I see.
    I'm guessing there must be a way to force a new window, because I do see new windows appear. But I think in those cases folks are doing it by using JavaScript.
    Cheers... Rick
