Wont open in new tab

when i right click to open link in a new tab , the new tab is blank and wont load the page. But, if I right click and open in a new window it loads the page just fine. This is after I upgraded to firefox 4.

Thank for the fast response. I restarted in safe mode, disabled all add-ons; then restarted again and it works with new tabs. I went back into manage add-ons and enabled the ones i was sure of and really needed.
Seems to be working fine now. Again, Thanks for the fast help.

My Safari app wont open a new tab and crashes if I try, I've tried closing all apps and reopening. Its a new ipad air and only started doing this after I synched with itunes.

Hi,
I have a new iPad Air. Since I synched it with my itunes account - all my details have been uploaded which is great but Safari will only work with one page open. If I try to open a new Tab it crashes. I have tried turning it off and on again. I tried closing all my apps that were open - including Safari and opening it again. Not sure what else to try.

1. Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data
2. Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple Logo

Wont open a new tab.. Im clicking on the + but nothing happens

So I have a Dell XPS L702X laptop (win7.64) and a Microsoft surface pro both running the same version of FF. Same bookmarks and everything. I went through all the setting on both and compared all. Set them both to be exactly the same. But on my laptop (since the latest update) I cant open a new tab by clicking on the + or by using ctrl+shift+P. Nothing works. Its like the feature has been shut off but the + is still here and it even highlights when I hover my cursor over it. SO next I completely uninstalled FF and reinstalled the latest again. But its still not working. Oh and btw it works fine on my surface and other computers.

This can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Community Toolbar extension have recently been reported to cause such an issue.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Firefox wont open a new tab

firefox won't open a new tab on my browser- the option is there, but when I press it nothing happens? I have checked all my options but can't find anything wrong?

hello, it looks like you're running a very outdated version of firefox & old plugins - this is a grave security risk, since there have been dozens of critical vulnerabilities fixed since firefox 3.6 was released (that was over two years ago).
you need to take the following steps as soon as possible:
* download & [[Install Firefox on Windows|install]] the latest version of firefox from getfirefox.com
* check your plugins at https://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/ & update all of those which are out of date
* you might also want to [[Uninstalling toolbars|remove all toolbars]] that you've installed since they can cause problems. in firefox go to tools > addons > extensions and uninstall Yahoo! Toolbar, Conduit Engine, Radio TV 2.1 Community Toolbar & Ask Toolbar. afterwards you might want to run the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/ searchreset extension] to restore the search settings that conduit has overwritten...
* do a full scan of your system with your security software

My safari stopped letting me open a new tab in the same window. what happened and how can I get it back to normal?

When I try and open a new tab in the same window, it wont open a new tab. It leaves the page I am on and goes to the "top sites page."

Hi,
If you have got to Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.2 and therefore Messages version 7.0.1 then double click the individual chats.
Once they are in separate windows you can chat like that (That's the way I used to chat - I didn't even use the tabbed chat)
It is impossible to create a separate Chat window each new chat (you have to separate them off from the main window which also keeps a "copy")
New chats are added to the main window even if you have used the red button to hide it. (CMD + 0 from the Window menu brings it back)

Safari wont load page until i open a new tab?

this happens on my new macbook pro and my super old mac mini
when i open a new safari window and it goes to "top sites" then google search or input a web address
it doesn't actually start searching or going to the web address until i open a new tab.
its weird.. i hope im making sense because im not sure how else to explain it..
both macs are using safari 4
any help or fix? if i dont make sense ill try to explain it another way.. lol

See if you can try this before Safari crashes ...
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. If there are any installed, turn that off, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting Safari third party plugins.
Back to the menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Security tab.
Deselect: Enable plug ins
Quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that made a difference, then follow the instructions for troubleshooting add ons here.

My Firefox will no longer open a new tab when i click on it or when i use the shortcut.

I have tried looking through all the setting that it gave me and i can not find when it wont let me open a new tab. All the settings i have are the default settings and before it happened i hadn't even been into the setting so its not like i was messing with them and then it messed up it just happened one time. I do not have any viruses or anything because i use 3 different virus scans and they say my computer its clean. Also my virus scanning programs are up to date i updated them today.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

IE 11 - Open in new Tab Not Working

When I click on a link that should open in a new tab (or right-click and select Open in new Tab), IE11 Opens a new tab but the screen is blank, the URL is about:blank and the tab title is 'Blank Page'.
Windows 8.1 x64
Internet Explorer 11 (Desktop)
The 'Metro' version of IE 11 still works fine, it's just the Desktop version which is broken.
I've tried all the fixes listed in the similar thread, but none have helped.
IE 11 TABS NOT WORKING
IE 11 opens blank tab

Thanks, I ran a Command Prompt (Admin) and ran the following scripts:
ie8-rereg.32on64.cmd
ie8-rereg.64on64.cmd
Both seemed to execute correctly, but haven't made a difference.
Unfortunately they have never been a complete repair and now, due to security/obscurity have been made even less effective. There was an example in here a while ago in which the poster helped me see that exploiting the original manifests might have
been a better tack for a repair. IIRC they uncovered some registry corruption which seemed related to mshtmled.dll but which was not repaired by registering that module and was damage which was only hinted at by looking at the manifest.
The poster's repair was found by comparing registries from otherwise identical systems...
OMG look what this recollection has dredged up: <lol/>

Interestingly, I came across another oddity which might indicate the behaviour is some sort of change to the IE security settings. On a site I frequent http://www.makegamessa.com/ none of the links work.
They've all previously worked and they still work in other browsers, just not my IE. If you click a link it is supposed to open the page in the current window (i.e. not opening a new tab), but nothing happens. However, if I have the F12 developer tools open,
then the links all work as expected OR if I add the site to Trusted Sites the links also work.
That sounds like Active Scripting is inhibited. Scripting would be disabled in a Restricted security zone or in an Internet zone which was set to High level. Scripting would be enabled in a Trusted security zone. Scripting would be required
in order to use IE11 Developer Tools since that is its implementation. It hadn't occurred to me that that might provide an override for Scripting which had been otherwise inhibited.

Firefox not scrolling or scrolling very slowly when i open a new tab, this just started within the last few weeks. Ive tried reloading firefox but have the same problem.

when i am using firefox if i click on a link that opens a new tab the new page wont scroll or scrolls very slowly. this has never happened before and i have had many many tabs open at once without any problem, now if i have just two the second one gives me these problems while the first one continues to work fine.

when i have a window open i also want to open a new tab but it wont let me

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.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

When clicking on links that open in a new window, the links don't open and Firefox freezes in a way. I can navigate the page I am on but cannot click to open a new tab or bookmark.

When navigating the internet, if I come across a web page that has a link to open a picture or program in a new window, if I click on it, it does not open. Firefox immediately looses functionality in that I cannot open a new tab with the mouse wheel, right click to open a new tab, or use my bookmarks in either the drop down or toolbar to navigate away. I can usually still navigate the page that I am on, for example, (https://loanconsolidation.ed.gov/AppEntry/apply-online/appindex.jsp), when it freezes I cannot click on any of the content at the center of the page but I can still use the links from the list on the far left. For an example of the pictures, (http://www.insect-sale.com/), if you click on "New Arrivals" at the top of the page it takes you to a list of products that can only be viewed by clicking on them. Usually a picture of the item would open in a small window but it does not and Firefox freezes. This has also happen when I try a view a degree audit on a school's website where a program would usually open in a new window. The only thing I have been able to find that still functions properly when this happens is the home page button. I can click on it or use the wheel to open it in a tab just fine, but if I try and go anywhere else I cannot. The only way I can get Firefox back to normal is to use the Task Manager and end the process. Another thing I have noticed, that may or may not be related; is that my Norton Internet Security toolbar, that should show up below the bookmarks toolbar and above the tabs, only shows up about 1 out of every 10 times I open Firefox. Some days it doesn't show up at all. If it does show up and I log into Identity Safe, the autofill for the programed website works, even if the toolbar doesn't show up the next time I open Firefox.

Go to Tools->Options->Apps
Here you should see two columns: Content Type on the left, Actions on the right.
Find and select excel spreadsheet or any other content type in the left column. There should be a corresponding action in the right column. What is it? You can use the drop-down list to select the option you want:
Always Ask - Firefox will ask each time: What do you want to do with this file?
Save file - Firefox will save this file to your computer
Use - Firefox will give this file to the program to open it
In case of saving, Firefox will either prompt you every time where you want the file to be saved, or save it to the default location. It depends on the preference in
Tools->Options->General->Download

I would like to be able to start typing a URL directly (with no need to clear the field first) after opening a new tab with my homepage...

I've just installed the newest desktop version of the Firefox browser because my Opera doesn't feel very well these days. I'm trying to become friends with Firefox, and that's why I've changed the new tab settings in order to have my offline homepage loaded every time I open a new tab. There is an inconvenience — when I press Ctrl+T, the cursor appears at the end of the URL. It means that when I start typing, the letters show in the address bar after the URL of my homepage, so what I need is to clear the field first.
Is there a way to get rid of this? (If it helpes, I'm currently using Windows 7.)
I would appreciate if I could just press Ctrl+T, type a URL, and press Enter when I want to go to a website different from my homepage. Thank you for your replies!

Then you can use (Ctrl+L and) Ctrl+A to select all the text in the location bar or Shift+Home/End.

Create Hyperlinks that open in new tab or window?!

Hello,
Ok, so, this has been asked other times for many versions of InDesign and most common response is to do it in Acrobat Pro. WHY?!!!! I couldn't even easily figure out how to do it there and frankly, don't want to. That seems so backwards and tedious to have to do...seriously. How is this not an option in InDesign Hyperlink edit creation/options yet?!! It is SO simple. Please tell me I'm missing something... I love Adobe products and especially CC products that are getting better and more time saving...but this is so dumb, I'm sorry. I'm no smarty software engineer but I know what user friendly is and how things should work for everyone...and it seems like an easy thing to make possible. Many people create PDF's in InDesign for viewing/downloading in a browser and this needs to be an option with-in InDesign CC. Simple as that. When the PDF is opened in Acrobat the links do open in new tab/window but NOT when it is viewed in a browser. This is why I should or maybe shouldn't work for Adobe, I wouldn't let little things like this, that actually makes a big difference in user experience, go unnoticed and unchanged over so many new releases and updates...or ever be taken away. I guess I'll put in an InDesign CC features request...
Thanks to anyone who agrees and relays...or lets me know I'm missing something.
Andy

I would also like a solution to this problem. It seems to have been around for quite a while.

Is there a way to bring back the "Open a New Tab" option via right-clicking on the Tab?

I just upgraded to latest version of Firefox (6.0). Yesterday it informed me that an upgrade to Firefox 5.(something) was available and asked if I wanted to upgrade. I went for it. However, I hadn't used it since then till today. Now when I opened it today it asked me if I wanted to upgrade to version 6.0. Without hesitation, I went for it too.
While this version looks nice, it feels a bit odd to use it. Previously whenever I wanted to open a new Tab, I right-clicked on any of the Tabs (active tab or any other Tab) and after right-clicking, it had the option to '''''Open a New Tab''''' along with few other options. Now there's no such option. There's the + button to open a new tab, but what if I want to open a link in a new tab by right-clicking on it? Similarly the option to Open in New Window is also missing.
Is there a way to bring back those previous Tab options/settings? If yes, how?
P.S. In my bookmark toolbar, when I click on a bookmark icon, it has the same options/settings as it previously had in the last version I used (last version I used was 3.something; while I'd upgraded to version 5.something I hadn't used it except for opening the browser when it asked me to upgrade to version 6.0). Options on right clicking the bookmark icon are:
Open
Open in a New Tab
Open in a New Window
New Bookmark...
New Folder...
New Separator
Cut
Copy
Paste
Delete
Properties
I'd also like to mention here that I know of the shortcut keys; so please don't waste your time by trying to help me that way. Thanks.

No. The Tab bar is a regular toolbar in current Firefox versions, so you get the normal right-click context menu of a toolbar if you right-click the tab bar.
You can double click on empty space on the tab bar to open a new tab if you do not want to use the new tab button. 
You can drag a link on that new tab button to open that link in a new tab. 
You can also drag the new tab button on another toolbar if you would like that better. 
Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"

How do I change the tab setting so that when I open a new tab it does not leave the current tab view?

Up until the other day, opening a link in a new tab via right click created the new tab but did not change my view to that new tab. However, since yesterday opening any new tab changes my view from the page I was browsing on to the new tab. Although it seems minor, this seriously negatively impacts the way I browse. Is there any way to change it back? I do not see it within the settings.

Tools > Options > Tabs - is the last preference there check-marked??

Wont open in new tab
