JavaScript windows do not appear after you click a link that opens a new window

When I try to click on a link that opens a new window (like to put an image in a Tumblr post or use an article on Neopets (don't judge me)), it will not. In the lower left corner of the page, it says "javascript:; ' or ' JavaScript: void ' or something like that.

In this regard (I think), Firefox only opens a new window, even if I press ctrl + N or manually, click on 'New window' in the menu.

Safe mode disables Extensions and themes (appearance) in Tools (Alt + T) installed > Add ons. Hardware acceleration is also disabled (the manual setting is in tools > Options > Advanced > general > use hardware acceleration where possible). You can try to isolate the cause of deactivation/activation of suspicious modules or try in groups.

  • When I open a link that opens a new Firefox window, it opens 2 tabs instead of one. How can I stop this?

    When I open a link that opens a new Firefox window, it opens 2 tabs instead of one. A tab is the link that I opened and the second tab is just a generic Mozilla tab with links to 12 pages like Facebook, Youtube, etc. This tab opens on top too, so I always have to close to get what I'm looking for. How can I stop this from happening?

    Hello. Thanks for all the posts on this topic. I have the same problem, as described by the op. But, while I use Avast, I have NOT the add-on from Astromenda which has been mentioned. However, I have the SB installed toolbar, and it has been recently updated, 29/12. I suspect that it is the culprit, if this problem is in fact not caused by an update of Firefox (my tiles have recently been reset on new tabs, and I suspect that Firefox for this problem).

    I am ready to remove the toolbar from the SB, but prefer to keep it (Yes, I admit I'm stupid) If this annoying 'new window = 2 tabs with 'new tab' at the top' would just leave.

    Apart from the removal of the toolbar SB... does anyone have suggestions? I don't see that all recently added add-ons/extensions that I don't recognize, apart from the update of the toolbar of SB.

    Updated: 5 minutes after this announcement, I disabled the toolbar of SB and restarted Firefox. No change.

  • Firefox tabs does not appear after you open a most recent tab

    I have mac os x 10.6. Firefox 5.0.

    It worked fine on the first day of ff5.0 was updated, but now, if I open a new tab and click on the previous tab, it shows not the previous tab, it shows again any Web page that is loaded in the new tab, but the real previous tab above shows that it is now selected. If you try and scroll down on this its really slow Web page, but if you return to the new tab, it scrolls at normal speed.

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions of the origin of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).

    If this does not work in mode without failure, then disable all extensions and then try to find out who is the cause by allowing both the problem reappears.

    • Choose "Disable all add-ons" on issues to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode to set window to disable all extensions.
    • Close and restart Firefox after each change through "file > exit ' (Mac: ' Firefox > leave";) Linux: "file > exit ')

    In Firefox 4, you can use one of them to start in the questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode:

    • Help > restart with disabled modules
    • Hold down the SHIFT key while double-clicking the shortcut from the desktop Firefox (Windows)
  • When I click on a link that opens a new window, it takes an unusual long time to open. (16 to 20 seconds). Even with the opening of Firefox when I turn on my laptop.

    Once it is open, it works fine. I can move the document or page without any problems, it's just the opening. This does not happen when it opens a new tab. Only, when it opens a new popup page. Same thing with Firefox from opening in the morning. I did the same process in IE and has not had the same problem.

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

    Also, make sure that your security software is blocking windows (pop-up).

  • FN bar does not appear after you have reinstalled Windows on Satellite A200

    Hello.
    First of all, sorry if my English is not very good, but I am French.
    After a format, I installed some of the drivers of Toshiba. But, I'm not the bar at the top of the screen when I press the "fn". So I would like to know how the driver I need to install to have this bar.
    PS: I have a Satellite A200.
    Thank you for your help and I hope that you will understand me.

    Hello

    Do not install some drivers but all only if you want to use all the features of Toshiba laptops ;)

    The visible bar that controls the FN keys is Toshiba Vista Flashcards.
    You can find this utility in the Toshiba value added package.

    But note; the common Modules located in the package of Toshiba value added too must be installed first!

    Good bye

  • My vista does not appear after you restart in 64-bit.

    This is what I'm guessing, is my problem. When I opened my laptop this morning, windows Explorer has stopped responding, so I stopped him via the Manager tasks. When I restarted it, it was in 34 bits. He told me that all my items cannot be displayed unless I had a higher screen resolution. How can I return my 64bits? Please please help, everything is stretched and looks that I have XP.
    Also, when I close my laptop, it does not in mode 'sleep'. Would be a restoration of the system help/fix this?

  • Letters do not appear when you type on a web browser

    I have no problem typing in MS Word 2007, but when it comes to the internet, typing in a web browser, there not all letters as I type. A slow response to the keyboard.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Communities

    I understand that some of the letters does not appear when you try to type on the web browser. Let me try and help you with the problem.

    1. what web browser do you use?

    2. have you tested the issue on several web browsers (if you have them)?

    3. have you started facing this problem recently? If Yes, are you aware or made a software or a hardware changes to the PC before this problem?

    This occurs generally if there is a problem with an add-on installed on the computer.

    I suggest to follow these methods on Internet Explorer and check to see if it helps to solve the problem:

    Method 1:

    You can start by running the Fixit and check if this helps solve the problem.

    Step 1: Run Internet Explorer without modules

    ·         Click the Start button. Click on all programs, Accessories, click System Toolsand then click Internet Explorer (No Add-ons).

    If the problem does not occur after you use this method, use Manage Add-ons to determine which modules are at the origin of the problem.

    Step 2: Manage Add-ons.

    (a) open Internet Explorer, click the Start button. In the search box, and then type Internet Explorerin the list of results, click on Internet Explorer.

    (b) click the Tools button, and then click Manage Add-ons.

    (c) click an add-on in the name list, and then click disable.

    (d) repeat step c until you identify the add-on that is causing the problem.
