Won't Open in Tabs

How do I get any new sites to open in tabs? I have all the right things set in preferences, but any time I hit a new page it just opens a new window.
I know command T allows me to open a blank tab, but what I'd like to do is have it open a new tab every time I do a search and hit a result.
Also: is it possible there is STILL no "home" button on the front interface in 3.2.1??
Thanks

There is a way, but for some reason it's a hidden option (maybe it's a bit buggy?).
Try this:
1. Quit Safari via Safari menu > Quit
2. Open up a Terminal window (Applications > Utilities > Terminal)
3. Paste the following command into the Terminal window and then press return:
defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true
4. Close the Terminal window.
5. Open Safari
Links that would normally open in a new window should now (hopefully) be opened in a new tab instead.
Good luck!

Firefox won't open new tab, have to open new window for any link.

New tab won't open both when attempting to do it by clicking on "cross" in the tabbar or from File >> new tab.
Thanks

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Firefox won't open new tabs

The little plus next to the tabs does nothing when I press it, going to file and new tab won't open a new tab, and neither does using control t. The only way I can get a new tab to open is to click a link or I have to open a whole new window. How do I fix this?

That can a problem with the Ask.com toolbar (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)

Safari 5.1.9 problems in OSX10.6.8 (won't open pages/tabs-buggy)

Hi,
My rig:
OSX 10.6.8
iMac Late 2006 Intel Core 2 Duo 4Gb RAM
Safari 5.1.9
I have two tabs that are working ok: facebook & Gmail, but Safari fails to open new tabs.
When I try to open other sites in a new tab, I get the "safari can't open the page because it can't connect to the server" error.
The internet is working ok as Firefox is fine.
I've updated the security patches for Snow Leopard.
I've done the Java updates.
I've also tried re-installing Safari via download from Apple.
I've run Disk Utility to repair the disk (does it actually do anything?)
I've tried repaired permissions via Onyx & Disk Utility.
All I want is a reliable browser!
Is this Apple's twisted way to get people to update from Snow Leopard and/or buy a new iMacs??
I tried Chrome & its a piece of crap - so slow & buggy!!
Firefox is ok atm but it does crash ocassionally (that's why I ditched it some time ago).
I went back to Safari (my previous default browser) & maybe it was a bad move!?
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Vic.

Hi,
I managed to solve the issue by stumbling across a thread on FineTunedMac.
I was actually about to close the tab then glanced at it.
In the end the problem was with Little Snitch 2.3.6.
Somehow it had blocked any connection on port 80 & once I deleted that the world was good again.
Strange!!
Thanks for your help.
Will closing down Java create any issues with web browsing?
I've checked my extensions & they're set up to auto update in preferences, so I assume they should be ok.
Kind Regards,
Vic.

Firefox will only open once from desktop and won't open new tabs or windows

When I clicked on Firefox's desktop icon this morning it took a solid 5 minutes for the browser window to open, and at that time I just chalked it up to my computer being slow.
Once it did open I soon encountered the first problem: when I clicked on "Open Link in New Window" or "Open Link in New Tab" nothing happened. Subsequently, when I did navigate to a website I was unable to click on any links whatsoever. I closed the window and tried to restart Firefox which is when I ran into the second problem: it wouldn't open. I opened the Task Manager and terminated firefox.exe, attempted to open via both the desktop icon and program folder but had no luck. If I restart my computer I'm able to open just the one browser window but with the same results of the first issue I mentioned.
I've tried all of Mozilla's troubleshooting tips in the "Firefox will not start" section with no luck. I've also uninstalled then reinstalled with no luck.

'''Safe Mode'''
You may need to use '''[[Safe Mode]]''' (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes '''before''' starting Safe Mode.

See:

If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling '''one at a time''' until the problem reappears. '''You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change''' via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.

Firefox won't open new tabs when I click, also he doesn't open new tabs when I use CTRL+T. Any solutions?

When I want to open a new tab, firefox doesn't do it. The problem is the same when I use CTRL+T. So I can't open any new tabs.
Nothing seems to work: restart the pc, closing firefox,...

Uninstall the '''''Ask Toolbar'''''. It can cause that problem.

PSE 10 won't open "CREATE" tab - stalls at "Initializing" (Mac OSX 10.6.8)

Hi everyone,
I just purchased a copy of Photo Shop Elements & Premiere Elements 10 and can't get PSE to work properly. I can't use the "Create" tab - which is really annoying because it is the main reason I wanted PSE 10 for... So far I've tried 3 clean installs without any success - it always stalls at "initializing."
My computer meets the minimum system requirements:
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.54Ghz, 100gb of free hdd space, 4GB RAM and OSX 10.6.8 running.
The rest of the program seems to be ok - but I can't access that tab... I'm beyond frustrated by now...
Can anyone help me out here? I'd really appreciate it...
Thanks!

Hi Barbara! The Creat tab does open in organizer - but when you select an option ex. photo calendar, it switches to pse and it stalls at initializing...
I tried EVERY fix suggested on the link you posted and nothing worked - except creating a new user account. I just created a new Admin account and It works!!!
Don't know what is wrong with mine though... I'd have to copy my photo library to the new account which is kind of troublesome and a pain to do... Plus I'll be having to switch from one account to the other to access the rest of my content (migrating all of my content to the new account will be VERY hard to do and take even more time)... Oh well - at least I get to use all of the functions in PSE!
Thanks so much for your help!

How can I get firefox to open new tabs? It won't open new tabs if I click the plus button or press Control + T. I installed some add on that didn't help either.

Tabs cannot be created
Control + T doesn't work
Installing an add-on to make tabs work didn't help

Disable or un-install the Ask Toolbar. The Ask Toolbar seems to be incompatible with Firefox 3.6.13. Ask needs to fix the problem.

Firefox 1.x won't open new tabs

I had to avoid using Firefox 1.0-1, and now Firefox 1.0-2, because of the fact that whenever I click "Open window in new tab", it doesn't go to the link, but just opens a new tab, not actually going anywhere. This is getting pretty annoying, and I did try using the PKGBUILD to download the source and make my own mozilla-firefox-1.0-1.pkg.tar.gz file, but this didn't change a thing.
The only way to remedy this is to downgrade to 0.9.3-2, which is the last working one. Also, as I just discovered, I can't use any of the arrow keys in 1.x. Useful.
Is this just my problem, or has anyone else experienced this?

Shouldn't behave like that- but it might be due to a dodgy extension you have installed (there are quite a few of them which hose javascript totally).
Did you try the "simple window" extension? AFAIK it works quite well.

Links in webviewer won't open new tab or window

I want to link out to a test, which once completed can be closed and one can resume reading. my iOS and android folios work great, webviewer not so much.
Link out works, back button goes to cover, I have tried both buttons and hyperlinks and I have tried both open in the in app browser and open in device browser, all open in same window, no new tab
I'm game for any workaround.

Hi everyone, I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I have been very very frustrated by this problem. [I could not create new windows, and anything that opens new windows, such as trying to see what Add-ons you have etc would not work]. I read about changing screen alignment to the top... I have one screen so the option does not exist. The above messages would not fix this problem. I searched hard and did find a solution in the end. I read stuff about removing Add-ons until the problem is fixed, but its simply not the case.
First of all open Firefox. next go to options: Help --- 'Restart with Add-ons disabled'. Tick the box for add-ons, restart firefox. Next go to Tools --- Add-ons. Next (In the Add-ons Manager' click on 'Plugins' on the left hand side pane. Look for the small blue writing that says 'Check to see if your plugins are up to date'.
Now notice it should say 'Missing Flash'. "For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Flash. Please upgrade to the latest version". I followed this, reinstalled Flash and it now works as it always did, no problems. For people where the above fix didn't work, try this one out. Hope it helps people!

Windows xp; Current Firefox version; won't open mail tabs on AOL. Explorer still works... Has this happened to anyone else?

I'm Running the current Version of Firefox. Have the most up to date version of Windows XP.
Most recently I've not been able to get any action when I click on AOL "check mail" buttons.
(i.e. new mail, sent mail, etc.) they still work if I go to Explorer... i just hate going that route though...
Anybody else seen this. Strange....
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards,
Ranger Barry

I don't use AOL, so let me give you some general suggestions, in case you haven't already tried them.
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
In case one of your extensions is involved, could you test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled ''(Flash and other plugins still run)''
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
Any difference?

My firefox won't open new tabs with the button or when I press CTRL+t, what is the problem?

I can't open any new tabs what so ever. I tried uninstalling and re-installing, and there was no change.

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.

All of a sudden...the tabs won't open a new tab...when firefox is open I can SEE the new tab block with a plus in it but when I click, it doesn't open

I learned to LOVE firefox because of the multiple tab feature. I have the color tab add on and LOVE it!! But all of a sudden, the tabs won't open!!! FI: I have one tab open to HuffPo and then I click the square next to it with the + in the middle. This used to open a new tab but now when I click it doesn't open....I have tried upgrading to the beta...no use....uninstalled the beta and reinstalled 3.6...nothing....It is making me CRAZY!!!!
Please help.
Stephanie
