How to prevent the tabs to open in a new window?
Given that I have updated to the latest version of Firefox, I am plagued with a problem, and I can't seem to stop. When I go back to Firefox and click on any tab, it almost always causes this tab open in a new window. It is a feature - drag a tab in the screen and it will cause this tab open as a window, but I'm not meaning to drag these tabs, I understand! I use Firefox EXACTLY as I've used it for years, but for some reason, it seems to be interpreting my clicks differently - either I'm dragging the tab a * little * bit, or it simply registers that I dragged the tab when I did not. Is there a way to disable this feature? Or a way to decrease the sensitivity of the thing, so that you really need to let slide the tab into the input window opens in a new window? It's really making me batty. I'm about to move permanently to the Chrome.
To be completely clear: what happens when I'm just trying to switch from one tab to another.
You have no need to move your cursor a lot when you press the mouse button causes the tear-off/detachable tab in a new tab. No 'sensibility' that I know. The tab in the new window can be moved to the original window.
To disable the feature, install this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bug489729-disable-detach-and-t/
- Read the information on the page above
- Set the add-on options: Modules > Extensions, click Options next to the specific Extension (2 options are defined/explained in the page above).

I clicked by mistake on the choice of "don't show this again option" in the "Firefox prevented this page open in a new window or tab", and now I can't understand how "uncheck" the box and back again once the window options.
My bad - it was the pop up Adblock Plus 0.7 Addon.
"I went just the Firefox button orange > Modules > Adblock Plus pop-up Addon 0.7 - > Options > my site rules > the site right click > edit > checked 'Block all pop-up windows' and unchecked" this rule applies to: 'New Windows' and 'new tab '.
Presto! Firefox works as before.
I didn't know I had controls within the addon that would affect the Firefox popup blocks the action.

Whenever I try to load a new tab in the same window, Firefox opens a new window. I went through the process of de-selection 'open tabs in a new window', but it does not work. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled, but no difference.
There are two common reasons for this problem:
(1) site uses a script that launches the window, and there parameters such as height and width, or restrictions such as no scroll bar. In these cases, Firefox assumes it's a dialog box associated with the page and always use a new window. (Is there a substitution for that I will mention later.)
(2) if the page you are looking at is in a dialog, Firefox is perhaps not ready to open a new tab in this window. Usually in this case the tab bar is missing or does not have the button «+» But if you open a new window using Ctrl + n and then links should work normally.
To force same scripted popups in a tab, you can change a setting under the covers.
(1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.
(2) in the search above the list box, type or paste link.o and make a pause so that the list is filtered
(3) in this case, see zero adjustment (B). The others are here for future reference:
(A) browser.link.open_newwindow
3 = divert new window into a new tab (by default) (checked *)
2 = allow the link to open a new window (uncontrolled *)
1 = new power window in the same tab* First check box in the Options > tabs
(B) browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction -for links in Firefox tabs
0 = apply the setting under (A) to all new windows (same script)
2 = apply the setting under (A) for normal windows, but NOT for windows script with characteristics (default)
1 = override the setting under (A) and always use new windows(C) browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external -for links in other programs
-1 = apply the setting under (A) external links (default)
3 = open external links in a new tab in the last active window
2 = open external links in a new window
1 = open external links in the last active tab replaces the current page -
FF 32.0.1. Move between the tabs that are already open, clicking on which I opened before forced to close and open in a new window, which is a real pain. It seems to happen when I have 4 or 5 tabs open, rather than 2 or 3.
Only, this happened last week, once reinstalled a clean Windows.
I searched and found a lot of people have problems with the new windows that open when they want just a new tab, but this seems to be on the opening of the fresh rather than return to already open tabs, so I can't find the same problem I describe.
This can happen if you drag a tab slightly downwards in the browser window by clicking.
Firefox has a feature called tabs
You can detach a tab in the current window and open in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window.
You can also do this via the context menu of a tab: switch to the new window
You can drag the tab to the tab bar in the original window to cancel this detachment. -
Open in a new tab and open in a new window have been inverted, how to restore?
I was pleased to see that I have connected today that Firefox has a update is ready. I was even more excited when I heard that the browser itself has been updated. And while all these new and exciting things make a surprising choice for a Firefox browser, im at my wits end on this little change which is annoying the hell out of me.
Apparently between 3.6 and the new Firefox, when you right click on a link, you will see open in a new window to the place where has been opened in a new tab. This may not seem like a big deal, but a person who has been opening the windows to tabs for the tabbed browsing came out, I hate having multiple windows open.
When I right click on a link, its an automatic reflex for me to open it in a new tab, but now I can't. Whenever I end up opening a window instead. Y at - it an easy solution to this little problem that drives me crazy?
You can use the editor to Add Menu on to change the order of menu items - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/menu-editor

How can I set the links to open in a new window?
I use the links tool in Acrobat 5.05 to create links in my pdf to other sites, not documents. When the pdf file is displayed online, I need these links to open in a new window. Now, they open in the same window, which submits the Viewer to using the back button to return to the original pdf and waiting so he could fully recharge. It is a sizeable pdf file, which makes a lot of your time. I tried unchecking the option on 'Cross Document links in same window', but tests indicated that there was no difference.
If you need more information to clarify my question, please just ask. Suggestions regarding the solve this will be appreciated.
My apologies if a similar question has already been asked to answer. I have not found the reference to it in my search.
Thank you.
You can use JavaScript to do this. For example:
app.launchURL ("http://www.adobe.com", true);
More info is Acrobat JavaScript reference. Note that this method is new in Acrobat 7. You can still use Acrobat 5 to create the JavaScript code, but it won't work for less than 7 versions, or most of the users of non Adobe PDF viewers. If you follow this path, you should add code that checks the version of Acrobat (reader) and just run the code above, if 7 or higher.

The files keep opening in a new window
Hi, I use Windows 7 Ultimate x 64, and I was faced with this problem since I installed a program called Unlocker. I used it to kill a process that did not let me uninstall a program. Even though I uninstalled the program, the problem persists. No matter what I do in the Control Panel, I can't solve the problem.
Does that help?

How to activate a download is opened in a new window?
Hello
When I want people to be able to download a pdf document, but when clicked it opens in the same window and therefore takes away them from the page they are on.
How should I do to sopd and open in a different window?
Thank you
I'm actually a native English!
Keep practicing!
This put into the top of the page, just above the tag.
function TJKpopAppPdf(){ // v1.0 | www.TJKDesign.com
var zA=document.getElementsByTagName("a");
for (var i=0;i
// if the type value contains "application/pdf" or if the href value contains "PDF" or if the file is in a "PDF" folder then we have a winner
if (zA[i].getAttribute("href") != null && (zA[i].getAttribute("type") == "application/pdf" || zA[i].getAttribute("href").toUpperCase().indexOf(".PDF") >= 0 || zA[i].getAttribute("href").toUpperCase().indexOf("PDF/") >= 0)){
zA[i].title+="(opens in new window)";
zA[i].className+=zA[i].className?" pdfFile":"pdfFile";
// This spawns multiple windows, but works fine with popup blockers
// zA[i].target="_blank";
// This opens a unique window and brings it in front of the opener each time the user clicks on the link
// Note that the new window opens without a toolbar. This is to avoid further conusion for the visitor
zA[i].onclick=function() {newWin=window.open(this.href,"TJKWin","toolbar=no");if( window.focus){newWin.focus()} return false;}
}
}
}
