My tabs still open in a new window, even after the deselection of this option, how to fix this?

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

  • When I have 4 or 5 tabs open, by selecting one of them often force this tab to open in a new window and close the original window

    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.

  • project sporadically opens in a new window, instead of the tab

    Hello

    Thank you for taking the time to read my post. I was not able to find this on the Internet or on this forum topic. I apologize in advance if it has been resolved.

    I have always go and often open my projects in my office.

    When I was Captivate 6.0, he would open a window and then, for each project, it would open a tab.

    After the update to Captivate 8, everytime I open a project, Captivate is still open in a separate/new window for each project!

    Is there a way to tell Captivate to ALWAYS OPEN NEW PROJECT in the current window, but the different tab?

    I tried to open a project in the menu bar (file > open > Select project), and still, it opens in a new window.

    Thank you for your time.

    Eric

    Hi Eric

    In fact, I'm rather surprised to hear that any version of Captivate would simply open projects recurrence in the same instance, but in different tabs. New windows are what I fully expect if the plans to open by double-clicking them just from the office.

    I would never advise people to function in this way. My personal opinion is to open by Captivate to open first, then using the file > open (or Ctrl + O in Lilybiri jobs).

    If you feel that it must operate differently, please consider filing a bug report using the link below.

  • 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/

  • 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?

  • 'open with' access lost Windows Apps after the last update of Mac OS

    It seems that the last Mac OS update has broken something with VMWare Fusion. Before I could right-click on a file in the Finder and the menu 'Open with' include all appropriate applications that have been installed in my different Windows VMs.  Now, the menu is empty and I have to run the application in Windows and open the file of the application.  As you can imagine that it's boring and tedious.

    Has anyone else experienced this problem or does anyone have a solution?

    Thanks in advance.

  • Firefox keeps blocking all the links, I click to open in a new window even sites that are on my allow list and secure government sites. How can I stop?

    Firefox blocks everything I need to click on allow and on some sites I do several times that the Web page reloads the page for a new investigation.
    Very annoying... enough so that I can stop using firefox and not recommend it to others.

    Firefox normally a redirection to another address will automatically follow.

    You can check that the block of redirection is not lit? This setting is on the Panel of the preferences page:

    "3-bar" menu button (or Firefox) > Preferences > advanced

    Under the mini general tab in the accessibility section, uncheck the box "warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page.

    If you have changed that, no matter what difference?

    If it was already off, it could be an add-on, or some security software or another program filtering that changes an automatic this intermediate page redirect.

  • Report dimensional hierarchy opens in a new window rather than the same window of dashboard in obiee

    Hi Experts,

    I created a hierarchy of dimension in obiee and created a report in analytics.

    I placed this report in a dashboard. But when I click on the hierarchy column it expands the hierarchy as expected but in a separate window rather than in the same window.

    Could someone help me on this problem?

    Thank you

    Patricia.

    If you are using a standard drill on the column hierarchy (without action) follow this path:

    • Open the page of dashboard for editing.
    • Find the section where your report.
    • Check the section "Drill in Place.

  • Why in the context menu of the "open in a new tab" and the "open in a new window" - buttons change of place? And you can change it back?

  • folder opens in a new window after update, but the options are correct

    Hello!

    After a few updates to Vista in the past two days, each folder now opens in a new window.

    The problem is: the folder options are correct. They are set to "open each folder in the same window. So I guess this is a new bug in Vista.

    You can try to restore Windows back to a previous working state, and then disabling the updates so that it works this way.

    Step 1: To restore Windows to a previous state (before defective updates):

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-is-system-restore (open the link and follow the instructions).

    Step 2: To disable the automatic updates (so the update defective will not be reinstalled):

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/turn-automatic-updating-on-or-off (in step 3, select 'Off').

    WARNING: It is not recommended and sometimes even dangerous to disable automatic updates, because they improve the security and reliability of Windows. If the procedures above solves your problem, this means that an update was the likely cause.

    Please report back with your results. Then we can reactivate the automatic updates, but block the update that causes this problem.
