Window Tabs

This issue has probably been dealt with several times before in this forum, but I have a question about tabbed windows. I have Safari set to open new links as tabs. However it doesn't always work that way. Sometimes a link creates a whole new window. I don't want that, I want another tab. Is there a way to configure that?
Also, is there a way to have multiple websites as the home page like Firefox does?

How do I get Firefox to show jpeg files in the same window/tab like it once did instead of asking me what to do everytime?

For a long time, whenever I click on a jpeg link in one of my Yahoo groups, the image simply loads in the Firefox window or tab that I'm viewing and I can simply hit the back button to return to the page I was on before. But just recently when I click on a jpeg link, Firefox asks me where I want to download the file and I have to choose between opening another tab, using Windows Photo Viewer, or selecting another program, I believe this is unnecessary and cumbersome. I would like it if Firefox would simply show me the image I'm trying to view in the same window/tab like it used to instead asking me where to download it and/or opening up a new tab when I don't really need it.

Hi Twistednerve84, 
At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button and then select Options to access the options window. Go to the Applications Panel and next to 'JPEG image' content type select to use your default application to view images.

Options Startup Show my Windows & Tabs from last time,but upon exit FF doesn't ask to save tabs & windows. When restarting FF I have a home pape,but no Bookmark tabs show. Why

Upon starting FF and going to my Home Page, I have no Bookmarks or Tabs showing. I have to Re-load the Bookmark Tabs. My options at Startup are "Show my Windows & Tabs from last time" Also using the Firefox exit,it does not ask to save tabs & windows on Exit. I'm getting tired of adding Bookmark Tabs each time I want to use FF.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well. 
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

Just got a new Mac Mini with Lion - where is the downloads folder in the Window tab that is at the top of the page in Safari? I used this a lot and really miss it!

I just got a new Mac Mini with Lion - the Window tab at the top of the Safari Browser used to ahve a downloads folder in it along with Activity etc - but it is not there anymore. Any way to get it back or is there another location it sits in? I used it when I'd copy video info from the activity folder and then paste into the download folder and presto - I downloaded the video onto my computer. I really miss this capability!

Download activity is found by clicking on the gadget on the right:

PDF in browser: launch web page in new window/tab

Good morning all,
Our forms use the hyperlink functionality and the desired result is to have the web page launch in a new browser window, or tab, when viewing the PDF in a browser. When the web page opens in the same window, the form data is lost after hitting the back button to return to the form content.
The current alternative is to use xfa.host.launchURL() function however we're wondering if there is a Preference setting in Reader we could enable/disable instead. Most of the links are text embedded in paragraph so hyperlinks work and look really good.
Changing the internet options of the browser is not an option for us.
Also looked at Reader's Edit | Preferences | Documents | Open Cross-document Links in Same Window which appears quite promising based on the Help's description:
Open Cross-document Links In Same Window
Closes the current document and opens the document being linked to in the same window, minimizing the number of windows open. If the document being linked to is already open in another window, the current document is not closed when you click a link to the open document. If you do not select this option, a new window opens each time you click a link to a different document.
But for some reason I can't explain, the web page still opens in the same window after disabling the cross-document option. So maybe I should rephrase my question and ask if someone knows any reason why option doesn't work?
Thanks much!
Hélène

Hi Hélène,
I don't know of any option to force hyperlink behaviour when the form is opened in a browser.
Have a look at George's suggestion to use a button without fill or border over the text: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1342426#1342426
It is a bit of double handling and you need to maintain the button in the correct position. However it does give you greater control in forcing a new browser window/tab.
The open cross-documents preference didn't work for us either.
When testing forms here we see a big difference in behaviour between different browsers and OS. So while you may get a hyperlink working in IE, the same solution may not work in other browsers. On balance I think overlaying a button would be the most robust.
Good luck,
Niall

I can't find the 3d tool under the windows tab in Photoshop. I thought I used it before but I cannot find it now?

I am taking an online course for Graphic Design from Penn Foster. I have been using Photoshop CS6 which was included with the class. It seemsw like I used the 3d tool before but I sure can't find it where the book tells me to look - which is clicking on the window tab. Any help?

There are two flavors of perpetual CS6 Standard and Extended. Only Extended flavor has 3D enabled if you have the required GPU and at lease 512MB of VRAM and that it enabled in your Photoshop preferences Performance page

Firefox is running, but no windows/tabs are showing - what gives?

Firefox12, iMac i5, Snow Leopard 10.6.8, 16GB RAM, 2TB drive.
Firefox worked fine this morning. This afternoon, when it fires up, no windows/tabs show up ... just the menu.
I know that the windows are working - a video link that I clicked on in my Mail begins playing. I can hear it. Just can't see anything.
I've tried opening a new window - nothing happens. I've tried restarting after turning off all Add-ins. Same result.
Tried opening the FF prefs but nothing shows up. All I can see is the FF menu - nothing else shows up.
I've tried the History menu - to restore all tabs etc etc ... no difference. I can only see the menu.
This is so weird and I have no idea what to do.
Any suggestions/ideas??

That is weird. Do you maybe have a window minimized to the dock or in another space? Have you tried restarting the whole computer?

Where is the "Always open folder in new Finder Window/Tab" option ?

Prior to 10.9, we have an options to choose whether to open folders in the same window in Finder preference. But I can't find anything similiar to that in Mavericks. Now I'm forced to open folders within the same window / tab, unless I press the CMD key while double clicking on the folder, and I still yet to find a way to do so with keyboard navigation.
Did I missed something ?

Yes I know that, but that option is completely useless, since you're forced to open a folder within the same tab.
Even with that option turned on, you still can "open folder in new tab" only by holding CMD key while double-clicking on a folder. And there is still no way to open a folder in new tab with keyboard navigation: CMD+O or CMD+Down-Arrow will always open folder within same tab.
So I consider this as a bug; maybe someone just forget to enable this option in the Finder preference dialogbox.
Is there any terminal command (defaultswrite ?) or 3rd party tool like TinkerTool, OnyX or Deeper that can change the default behavior of Finder ?

Open commandLink in new window/tab

I have an ADF app with a link to an Apex reports site. The af:commandLink calls a procedure which does some internal validation (calls a pl/sql package to get an Apex login token) then redirects the browser to the Apex site. I'd like to get that Apex site to come up in a new tab in the browser (or new browser window) but there's no target property on the commandLink or in the redirect procedure I'm using (ExternalContext.redirect()).
Any suggestions on how to get that redirect to come up in a new window/tab?
edit: using 11.1.1.4
Edited by: steve_mj on Feb 2, 2012 6:39 AM

Try this technique in a managed bean method that is invoked by your <af:commandLink>:
// Invoke your PL/SQL procedure
// Open the APEX site in a separate browser window
String apexUrl = ...;
ExtendedRenderKitService erks = Service.getRenderKitService(ctx, ExtendedRenderKitService.class);
String script = "window.open('" + apexUrl + "', '', 'location=0, status=0, resizable=1, scrollbars=0');";
erks.addScript(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(), script);Dimitar

I cannot access Content Library in iMovie - Content Library doesn't show on the iMovie screen and is greyed out when accessed through "windows" tab at the top. Also unable to update the projects/events (a suggested solution for a similar question).

I cannot access Content Library in iMovie - Content Library doesn't show on the iMovie screen and is greyed out when accessed through "windows" tab at the top. Also unable to update the projects/events (a suggested solution for a similar question). I haven't had this issue before, I have always used the content library on the screen but haven't used this for about a month. How can I make the Content Library available?

Thanks so much! I am backing up the entire computer now with an external hard drive - this should be fine right? And surely if I am backing up the whole computer these projects/videos will be backed up too? I wasn't sure how to do this any other way and I am clearly not great with tech issues. Once this is done and I am sure my projects/videos are safe I will do the delete and reinstall bit. Thanks for taking the time to help

Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Browsing History" if Firefox is closed.

Does this work for you?

Setting mailto links to open new window/tab?

When I click a mailto link, I would like to be able to have it open a new window/tab, not open my webmail (yahoo) in the same window. Also, when I click said mailto link, I have issues with the link sending the correct info to yahoo. I end up getting everything in the to field with the mailto: and also the subject: in this field. e.g. [email protected]?subject=test

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