Window and tab safari problems

I updated Adobe flash player and it automatically updated safari as well without even asking me. Now when I highlight and click on a link there is no longer an "open link in new tab" option. I have gone into the safari preferences and tried to fix it under the tabs section but when I do that links only open in new tabs and not windows when you select the "open link in new window" option. Is there any way to fix this?

While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use Safari. Many of us use Firefox or Chrome. There's a Safari Support Community where everybody uses Safari. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/safari

  • Safari 5.1 - Clicking on pull down list reloads all windows and tabs

    Clicking on a <select> tag option on my website has the effect of reloading every windows and tab there is currently open. It worked fine on Safari 5.0 and works fine on other browsers. Happens on two different computers, yet it does not happen with every pull down list, only with the ones that have the grey line before the arrows.
    Example:
    http://festhome.com/festhome_cake/registro
    Clicking on the year, country, whatever, they all reload everything on the browser.
    Thanks for any help...

    When you apply certain styles to a select tag, Safari switches to a "design-friendly" dropdown control without any Aqua styling. That's what you're seeing when you get the "gray line" before the arrows.
    So far, I've determined that going into the Web Inspector and removing styles until Safari uses the default Aqua control fixes the problem.
    But, if I build a test page from scratch, and it has a "design-friendly" select it works fine. So, there's some combination of things at work here. The "design-friendly" control certainly seems to be the linchpin, though.
    I can't spend any more time on it at work today, but I might futz with it some more tonight.

  • "show my windows and tabs from last time" does not work after upgrade to 8.01

    After I upgraded to the latest v8.01 I have lost all my tabbed sites and even when trying to add them and save them with the Tools>Options>General>Start up>when Firefox starts selected feature "show my windows and tabs from last time" it does not hold the saved sites and when browser is restarted it always loses all the tabs and only shows one tab with Firefox home webpage. I need to have several sites open to work and the only way to do that now is to make sure I click the "Use current pages" under General Option in Tools. It is getting very annoying because I keep changing my tabs to different websites during a session and I am used to just closing the browser, relying on having them all back in when restarting Firefox.

    Make sure that you do not use Clear Recent History to clear the <i>Browsing History</i> when you close Firefox.

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js [3] files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

    After opening certain websites, pogo, firefox 4.0.1 closes with no error message. When I restore the session I get: Well, this is embarrassing. Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page.
    I have had this problem before and had to reinstall an earlier version of firefox.
    The error console has a long list of errors, many of them end with: does not implement nsIObserver. Is there a way to send the information on the error console to firefox support?
    Redownloading Firefox 4.0 will fix my problem until I either close firefox or turn off my computer. The problem recurs when I open firefox again.

  • I noticed when I restart Firefox 4, it opens my previous tabs even I set the option "Open a blank page" and it opens blank page when I have "Show my windows and tabs from last time". Please ignore my question if you're already aware of this issue. Thanks.

  • Why does Firefox not open my windows and tabs from last time until I have tried starting 3 or 4 times?

    I have this problem with opening Firefox:
    My Startup options are set to "When Firefox starts: Show my windows and tabs from last time"
    However, each time I start Firefox, by clicking the icon in the Taskbar, it opens with a single blank tab.
    I repeat this using "Open New Window" and when I have up to 3 windows, all with single blank tabs open, I close them all. Once more I use "Open New Window" which only then opens with my windows and tabs from last time.
    Naturally, this induces initial panic each time, because I dread the thought of losing all my current tabs.
    What is going on here?
    How can I fix it?
    < Firefox 27.0.1 with Windows 7 Home Premium.>

    This started happening to me with the upgrade to v30. Previously, new windows did the proper thing of showing previous tabs/windows.
    I have history on, not in private mode, and have cleared cache.

  • Why is the "Show my windows and tabs from last time) option in Options- General is grayed out and will not let me restore previous sessions?

    After updating to Firefox 6, the option in the Options-> General section to "Show my windows and tabs form last time" is grayed out and will not allow me to set it. If I go to the Firefox homepage, the option does not appear, nor does it appear if I go under the History or Firefox tab.
    I tried to follow the directions on this website on the Session Restore page, but that seems out of date or just not helping.
    I even went to the about:config (about:session restore does not work) and there was nothing I saw that would work

    Firefox 6 seems to change your settings in Tools Options Privacy to "Never remember history". Once you change this to "Remember history" it will restore your previous session, as long as the setting in Tools Options General Startup is set to "Show my windows and tabls from last time"
    Bad idea Mozilla - installing 6 should pick up your settings from 5. This problem will confuse many users.

  • My tabs are all empty even though I have FF 29.0.1 set to save windows and tabs when closing

    I have the setting: Startup - When firefox starts - show windows and tabs from last time.
    This almost always works, but not today. The odd thing is that all the tabs are still there, including the pinned ones on the left (square empty boxes), but all the tabs are blank ("New tab").
    Except one that appeared on startup, the one that was active when i closed FF last night.
    If I click on History - Show all history = No items.
    Restore previous session is greyed out, as are Recently closed tabs and windows.
    It looks bad, what can I do to restore the previous session?
    How would this have happened, and how can I prevent it in future?
    Did the last FF update (today or yesterday) have anything to do with it?
    There is a sessionstore.bak-[long string of numbers] dated 8/2/14, and a sessionstore.js dated 9/5/14, and a sessioncheckpoints,json dated 9/4/14 in the Profile default folder.

    I'm a little puzzled that your post shows Firefox 29.0.1 but you said you updated this week (Firefox 32.0 was released this week). ???
    One of your settings is '''places.history.enabled''' = false, which could be a problem for saving history. I'm not sure how that could have gotten switched. Could you check here:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Privacy
    Under "Firefox will: Use custom settings for history" make sure you have the settings you want.
    Note: I think I have read that if Firefox is set to clear history at shutdown, then Firefox might not save any history during your session.
    Can you find an Old Firefox Data folder on your desktop? If the Reset feature ran, your old data would be in that folder and we could discuss how to restore them.

  • Is there a command-line option that will override the "show my windows and tabs from last time"?

    A friend of mine occasionally runs into a web page that causes him problems. To be sure, he should note the URL and submit a bug report if a page causes a browser crash, but in any case, while by default he likes the browser to restore windows and tabs from the previous session, in the case of an obnoxious web page, you *don't* want that to happen. I'm hoping that I can set up an icon for him to click on that will start the browser up on his home page instead of restoring previous windows and tabs when he gets into trouble.

    Set the Integer pref browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to 0 on the about:config page to get the about:sessionrestore page immediately with the first restart after a crash has occurred or the Task Manager was used to close Firefox.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes
    That will allow you to deselect the tab(s) that you do not want to reopen, but will allow to reopen other tabs.

  • Since the Version 20.0 update when starting firefox I have frequently got the error message "firefox is having trouble your windows and tabs" .

    Since the version 20.0 update when starting firefox I have frequently got the error message "firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs" This has not occurred with previous versions. If I click on the box "restore" and close firefox the problem reoccurs if I click close I lose the bookmark sidebar. I am so sick and tired of these frequent and buggy updates (every one since 17.0 have caused norton 360 to stop detecting tracking cookies for several weeks and or broken the norton toolbar) that I will uninstall firefox and switch to another browser if this does not change.

  • Cannot recover windows and tabs on startup

    When I start Firefox, a message comes up and says "This is embarrassing; Firefox cannot recover windows and tabs. Keeps repeating on subsequent startups.

    hello ecicci, this is currently a problem in firefox when you first close all open firefox windows and then close the application afterwards - the bug should be addressed in a later version of firefox.
    as a workaround in the meanwhile you could close firefox (through firefox > quit) while the browser window is still running or try this: enter about:config into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash'''. double-click it and change its value to '''false'''.

  • What is wrong? The "show my windows and tabs from last time" has not been working these past two or three days. It was fine before. Ive changed nothing except the last update from you. Thank you.

    Make sure that you do not use "Clear Recent History" to clear the "Browsing History" when Firefox is closed because that prevails and prevents Firefox from opening tabs from the previous session.

  • Q: How do you sync all open windows and tabs?

    How do you sync all windows and tabs? And if this is not possible, how do you nominate which Windows' tabs are sync'd?
    Sincerely,
    Adam

    You don't have a hot-corner for that anymore.
    You use a gesture for that now. You can either 4-finger swipe down, or place the tips of your fingers in the center of your track pad.  Your fingers should be bunched up and touching each other.  To show all windows, expand your fingers, as if you were showing someone "5" on your fingers.
