X131e - weird browser tabs behaviour

Hello all. Took delivery of an X131e a few days ago. OVer the past few days I have noticed an intermittent issue with the behaviour of tabs in both Explorer and the latest version of Firefox I installed. Essentially, what happens is that every time I click on a link it opens in a new browser window. This didn't happen to start with and it goes back to normal after I restart Windows. This 'fault' seems to start up randomly. It happens in both Explorer and Firefox (so does not appear to be a browser-specific setting).
I am aware that some links are specifically set to open in a new tab/browser window by the page's designer, but this is every single link, even just Google search results. Select a link with left button above track pad and link opens in a new tab. Extremely frustrating. Restart computer, run exactly the same search and clicking the link works as it should. a day or two later and the tabbing thing has started again.
Machine is running Windows 7 Home Premium. I don't shut it down when I have finished with it; I just close the lid.
Can anybody suggest what might be causing it and how I might prevent it?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi there,
From what I'm gathering, it's almost like you're clicking the link and even though you're not pressing Ctrl, a new tab opens like it would if you were holding that key, is that a correct assessment of the situation?
If so, have you checked Sticky Keys in Control Panel?

Safari 2.0.2 tab behaviour

In the latest incarnation of Safari, version 2.0.2 (416.12), which i assume came with the 10.4.3 update, the tab behaviour is really weird
It seems when I close a tab it moves to the previous tab you were looking at rather than in previous versions where it would move to the tab to the right - this has been driving me nuts the past week since i upgraded to 10.4.3
I'm assuming it's a recent change, as i would've started getting annoyed with it before if it did it like this all the time
Anyone know if it's possible to revert Safari's tab behaviour back to as it used to work because it's driving me more and more up the wall
G4/450 Powermac Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Welcome to Apple Discussions, stony!
I was wondering of you have any Safari add-ons that might create a mild incompatibility like maybe Saft, SafariStand or something similar?
Cheers!

Open URL from Java in a new browser tab

Hi OTN,
Surprisingly can't find the implimintation.
In an ADF managed bean I retrieve String url. I need to open a new browser tab with this url.
Found this thread Open a url in a new window in the backing bean which shows using javascript "service.addScript(facesContext, "window.open(http://www.google.coml)");".
But in my case in doesn't work. The code is executed, but nothing happens. Maybe because the bean is called from a taskflow inline popup.
ADF 11.1.1.4
Thanks.

Well, I'm afraid that is not an option.
The goButton is in a table row. There are lots of rows so if I use EL for Destination attribute the URL would be retrieved for each of rows.
The method of URL retreiving is heavyweight operation which includes calling plsql functions, working with strings and others. So if I do it for each table row my application hungs and then I receive an exception of CPU usage.
That's why I switched to normal commandButton witch actionListener which retrieves url on click - only once. So I need to open URL from Java.

One solution would be to generate the report via an servlet which you then call with an af:golink with an target frame set to blank.

On Firefox 4, the back button does not work on a new browsing tab or window.

Ever since I installed Firefox 4, I have noticed a problem that was not present with the previous version of Firefox. Whenever I open up Firefox and enter in a new web address, I cannot use the back arrow to go back to my original homepage; the arrow is ghosted out. The same problem exists when I open up a new browsing tab. Let me explain with an example. I open up my browser, and then I open a new tab (now there are two tabs open). In the new tab I type www.espn.com. Then I click on a link on espn.com. Say then I want to go back to the espn.com homepage that I just previously visited. I can't do it by clicking the back arrow; it's ghosted out. I have to physically type the address again (www.espn.com). Why has this changed? Is there a way to fix it? Why can't I just click the back arrow to go back to the espn.com homepage that I typed in originally (or my original homepage if I opened up a new window instead of a tab)? Oddly enough, if I go one link deeper into the espn.com site, I can then go back to the immediately preceding webpage, but not all the way back to the original espn.com homepage.
I can't stand IE, but it doesn't have this problem. This problem also was not present on the old version of Firefox. I just verified this by testing the old version which I have installed on another computer.
Please advise.

Same problem here: I never had a problem with the previous versions and now I don't even get my homepage when I click Firefox. Instead, I am getting a blank screen that says "New Tab", only after I click the "Home" symbol I get my Homepage (Yahoo). The browser - back and browser forward button don't work anymore, very annoying. Normally a newer version should be an improvement but it looks like Mozilla really messed up with this "improvement". probably I am going to use Google chrome from now on.

When you open a new browser tab, underneath the box to type in what you are looking for is the recently visited list. I want to disable or delete this list...how do I get rid of this list???

I can no longer open a new browser tab by either clicking the + at the end of the last browser or by using the Ctrl key + T, how do I fix this?

I have uninstalled firefox and reinstalled firefox to try and solve this
issue, but it has not fixed the issue. To open a new tab I must right click
any current page link to get a new browser tab and then navigate to a new web address. This is a recent issue that just started happening and I can't figure out what happened or what got disabled. Please help me fix this.

Try uninstalling 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.

ERROR: browser.tabs.onTop not working now, my reason for using Firefox gone forever now?

In the latest FF, setting the browser.tabs.onTop has no effect. I believe this is completely wrong step in UI because thinking of the user's focus:
- The web page is the 'topmost' content having user's focus for the most of the time
- The next are the tabs which he/she recently opened
- Only then come the bookmarks
- And finally, only then comes the address line
Moving the tabs to the top means you force the user to move his attention/focus from the page contents skipping the lower priority areas (bookmarks, address line). This distracts the user and is simply bad news.
Being quite simple option, I see no reason why the browser.tabs.onTop functionality was removed. This effectively removes another important advantage of FF over Chrome/IE. I know Classic Theme Restorer (Customize Australis) add-on, but don't want to rely on such things.
Is THIS what the proclaimed customizability of Firefox is about these days? Sad.
After many years of FF use in our company, I'm sorry but I will reconsider FF usage in our company if these things don't get fixed soon.
Regards and thanks,
Vaclav

You can use either of the following add-ons.
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/tabs-on-bottom/
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/
If you don't want to install an add-on, put the following style in the ''userChrome.css'' file and restart Firefox. You can use [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/stylish/ the Stylish add-on] instead, if you have it installed.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css

'''One of the developers recently posted this explanation'''
[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/user/1079955 MikeDeboer] said
Each setting you see in a computer program you use requires work; when a developer wants to build something new or improve something, he or she has to go through each related (hidden) setting and test if it still works like before and do that on each platform Firefox runs on. That's Apple's Mac OSX, various flavours of Linux and various flavours of Windows, including Windows XP. This costs time, lots of it, and that amount grows exponentially with each setting that's added. This comes on top of our work to continuously fix, improve and innovate Firefox. That's why we also removed the tabs.onTop preference. Awesome community members, who were unhappy about that change, created the Classic Theme Restorer add-on. They deserve our collective hugs.

WEB.show_document in Browser Tab Pages

Hi
This problem occurs in IE7 which makes use of tab pages on the web browser. I'm using forms 10g, web.show_document(v_url, '_BLANK') to pop up a browser window in IE to display a PDF file residing on the App Server.
The new browser window pops up in IE and displays the pdf document fine. The window title and address bar contain the correct url (a rather long one). The problem I have is that the browser tab page is labelled "Error" which immediately causes concerns amongst the users. I'm not sure if it does this because it does not know what to label the tab page or if the URL is perhaps too long.
Is there any way to rename / relabel the tab page or set the name or alias somewhere? I'll appreciate any advice on the issue...
Regards
Mario

Hi,
With web.show_document() you could call a html page that call your php page with POST().

M4V video files not downloading or viewing, just showing characters in browser tab

Website I'm trying to download videos. http://www.eevblog.com/episodes/
I click on a video, it takes me to that videos page, somewhere down the page is a download link. I click the download and the browser tab starts filling up with all these strange characters.
It doesn't ask me what to do with this like download or play.
What do other browsers do:
Google Chrome v34 - downloads the file
Opera v20 - downloads the file
IE 11 - downloads the file
I looked under Applications in options and there are only a few, doesn't even fill in the whole box of content types and the action to take. How can I add more to this list.
Thanks,
Jeffery

This happens if the server isn't configured properly and is sending the file as text/plain or text/html. 
Firefox opens files send that way in a tab instead of presenting a download dialog.
*https://developer.mozilla.org/Properly_Configuring_Server_MIME_Types
*https://developer.mozilla.org/How_Mozilla_determines_MIME_Types
A workaround is not to left-click such a link, but to right-click and use "Save Link As" to save the file if that is possible.
Note that you can still use "Save Page As" to save the file if it gets opened in a tab. 
You may have to add the correct file extension in this case to make it a valid media file.

Is there a way to change what reads on the browser tab?

Hello,
I'm a bit of a noob at using Muse and right now i'm building interactive demo. One request from clients is to change what is displayed on the browser tab - they want tab to display demo name instead of the individual page names.
Is it possiblbe to do that with muse, or do i have to export HTML out of it and manually changing title tag?
thank you,
-Katya

Hello,
You can change the Page title by going into Page properties.
- Right Click on the page and click on page properties.
- Click on Metadata at the top in Page properties Window.
- Now uncheck the option "Same as Page Name" and put in the title under Page Title.
Please have a look at the screenshot which might help :

How to change browser tab text?

When I open (view) my WebHelp project, the title is not
correct. It is using an "old" title from a previous project that
this one was created from. I changed the title on the Properties
dialog box in the actual RoboHelp project, under Project Settings
--> New Window --> Window Caption to the correct new text --
but this does not seem to affect the WebHelp browser tab title.
(yes, I saved the project, regenerated web help, even tried
shutting down RH then regenerating WebHelp again -- no effect).
I did not see a tab title option in the various property
choices offered during WebHelp generation. Where is it getting this
tab title from, and how can I change it?

Try Project Settings.

Open in a New Browser Tab?

How do I open in a new browser tab (ex. IE & Firefox)? I
know how to open in a new window but cannot fins a command or code
to point to a new browser tab.

That's because it doesn't exist as far as I know. There is no
code like <a href ="xxx.com" target="_newTab">.
That is just an option the user can choose by right clicking
on a link and selecting "Open Link in a New Tab".
Just treat the content like it is opening in a new window.
You can name the new page and then focus in on it as if it is not
in a tab but a new window.

Firefox 6 doesn't ask me to save a session with mutiple tabs even that I've checked the * browser.tabs.warnOnClose, * browser.warnOnQuit and * browser.warnOnRestart. Thanks in advance

even that I've checked the options:
* browser.tabs.warnOnClose,
* browser.warnOnQuit.
They all are set to true.
Thanks in advance

The option mentioned in the reply appears available but doesn't restored the session I needed at all. Now, I tried to close this session and Firefox warned me, just the way it used to. :|
Why it seems to be working normally again? Are there any options I should de/activate not to occur this once again. Some of the tabs I've lost ain't even in the browser history... Yes, I have to start using bookmarks.
Thanks a lot
