Can I configure Firefox to ALWAYS open a new WINDOW instead of a tab? I used to be able to do and hate using the tabs!

Mac desktop computer.

Yes, or you can right-click and select "Open in New Window ' or change this option in the Firefox settings:

  1. Go to the topic: preferences and uncheck the box under the tabs 'open new window in a new tab only '.

This aid?

  • DoubleClick the Explorer's right pane always opens a new window instead of in the existing window + fix possible!

    Boredom:
    In the right pane of file, if you double-click a folder it opens in a new window instead in this window.
    It appeared after I installed IE8 and / or play a bit with my startmenu options, but I can't tell if they are really the reason.
    All these tips on 'options records' fail miserably in my case.

    Here is the real solution for my case:
    Open regedit.
    Navigate to:
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\explore\command]
    The default value has been set to:
    %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /separate,/e,/idlist,%I,%L

    I changed it to:
    %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,/idlist,%I,%L

    and then explorer.exe behaved as expected.

    Do not mix with the folder option always "open in a separate process", that everywhere else in the registry.

    What makes it even more strange, in some cases, you can change it again to:
    %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /separate,/e,/idlist,%I,%L

    and the behavior remains as it should.

    For admins: because a "weird plain' or a 'system' forum is missing: feel free to sort, where it belongs.

    Set

    Gotcha for other machines:

    Start-> programs-> Accessories-> Command Shell (rightclick-> run as admin)

    Regsvr32.exe /s actxprxy.dll

    and that it has set for the two other machines.

    This tip came from http://www.vistax64.com/vista-general/44439-open-each-folder-its-own-window-bug-2.html#post987175

    It was really after installing IE8.
    All the machines have in common: Vista64 + Seamonkey mail + http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/nightly/ browser (1.1.x is not compatible vista on some points, see http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistanetworking/thread/c8911402-dea6-400b-9978-06ffed629985).

  • When I open a new window, an additional blank tab opens in the new window.

    The problem started when I reset my new page.
    Because the two legs were open, she defined the second tab in the home page.
    When I noticed this, I reset (choice between bookmarks) with a single tab.
    Unfortunately, it continues to open two tabs, whenever a new window is opened, either when starting Firefox or by a link.
    Pressing 'Home' don't open a new tab.

    One of your FAQs advised removing the characters of pipe in the home page layout, but this does not apply in this case.

    Can you help me?

    Thank you

    You can drag a single tab on the Home button to set this tab as homepage.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

  • I pinned tabs but they don't open when I open a new window? Permenantly pinned tabs that open when you open the browser is something that is so simple and usefu

    It should not necessarily be a "pin", but I wonder how to keep one eye permanently there everytime I open a new browser, as they appear.

    Pinned tabs are related to a specific window and you can have a different game in each window.
    You have to re-create the tabs pinned, if you want in a new window, possibly by the bookmarks in a folder (to bookmark all tabs) or set them as many home pages (a new window opens with the home pages).
    Maybe there is an extension that allows to open newly opened tabs pinned in windows, so you can search the Addons site.

  • How can I configure Firefox Mobile to open webpages in default drive mode, so I use less resources and phone?

    Maybe that is not an existing function, but I imagine that there is a setting for that somewhere in all: config. I want pages on my mobile to open in default drive mode, so that the player display button is pushed to turn this mode off, rather than on.

    I want to do this for two reasons: first, so that the pages will not load not all ads (I'm particularly concerned about video ads) that sap resources from my phone and increase my use of data; and second, so that pages that are not optimized for mobile devices (which is a pretty large majority of pages that I tend to visit) will open in a more readable format.

    Mode reader must download the entire page before being able to analyze. It does not reduce the bandwidth used. An extension like adblock or uBlock hangs the content before it is downloaded.

  • How to open a new window that has a single tab and my home page?

    Ago that I had trouble with my internet access so finally deleted Firefox and reloaded it from scratch. Since then, if I open a new window, I get a lot of tabs open. They seem to be the tabs that I had opened the first time I tried to open a new window instead of the tabs, I have now opened. This means that a new window is slow (about 14 tabs open) and does not even include the tabs that I want to use.

    Say you that, haven't you. Maybe this thread will help? It refers at the start, but maybe that session restore got so messed up that until he restores to each new window?
