• When right-clicking on a link and a window opens, I want it ask me "Open Link in New Window" first of all, not the second. This has changed in the last update.

  So I got allows you to right-click on a link and go the first option and open this link in a new window.
  I don't not like tabs, or use them.
  The latest update or version of Firefox has changed this and now
  Open the link in a new tab first, then
  Open the link in a new window.
  My question is, how can I change this back to the way it was.
  Thank you very much
  TREV

  My problem is the opposite of the OP, but the result is the same. Years of the use of previous versions of Firefox have conditioned me to open links in a new tab by selecting the second choice of right click menu without looking. After a week of trying to readjust in places reversed 'Open link in a new window' and "Open link in a new tab", I'm always unintentionally opening new windows instead of tabs every time after time. The point is, why should I have to adjust (or need a plugin external to solve your problem). YOU TEACHES ME HOW to DO THIS WAY, then why you changed it? Do you think that the reversal is most effective? A task force of new users select the new range? Do you have a taste of trial with Pepsi? Have you adopted Microsoft 'we know what you want better than you' policy? People in the drive of England on the left side of the road with the steering wheel on the right. Maybe it's actually a better way to do it. Maybe we should just rethink all cars new American model in this way and reverse all the signs from one day to the next without any warning - no ads, no choice, do it just because the engineers decided that it is better. While we're here, maybe you should adopt menu 'Ribbon' of MS then. I do sound a little angry or like if I have too much time on my hands? If so, it is because I am and I do not have enough to relearn the same tasks whenever you think of a better way to perform a basic operation. I'm sick of being 'improved' perfectly feasible programs to offers no improvement, only the need for a conversion.

• 'Right click menu/open in a new window' does not-nothing happens.

  When I right click on a link, a menu very long comes with many choices that have nothing to do with the links (like 'copy image'). When I select "open in new window' or 'open in a new tab', nothing happens. I've just updated to the latest version of FF yesterday (08/05/13). I don't have whatever it is personalized for the new facility. Before to install the new everything worked fine.

  Hello lindal, this is most likely caused by an outdated addon. one of them is firebug, so in case you have installed, please upgrade to the latest version.

• target for a .pdf with the target _blank link file does not open in a new window.

  I have a simple html document with links to all the value _blank .pdf documents but only opens in a new window.  Others open as _self.  Change the target does not seem to make a difference.

  No idea why this is happening?

  It is preferable to share a link to the offending page, so that we can see the code, simple errors as a lack of "or = can cause what you describe.

  However since you work with PDF files there may not be anything technically wrong with your code.

  Files PDF is a multimedia file that is managed in a number of different ways depending on the settings of the user's browser and plugin installations. What gives the target = "_blank" on a PDF link can open a new blank page and the PDF opens in Acrobat instead. There is no way to force a PDF file to load in the browser, this is a user setting we as developers have zero access to.

After closing Firefox, if I open the ask Manager, I see another instance running I have to kill before I can restart Firefox. I also noticed that my help to download the video no longer appears in the navigation bar, or on the Tools menu, even if he says he did when I look at the options Add on. Not sure if this is related.

• When a pop-up window opens in a new tab, do NOT pass it immediately

  Hello.
  I changed the value of browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction from 2 to 0. Now pop-ups will open in a new tab instead of new window, which is cool.
  But still firefox goes immediately to the ToolTip that gets opened in a new tab.
  I want to have firefox in a way that, when a pop-up window is opened in a new tab, do NOT pass it immediately.

  Note: The option "when I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately" in the menu Options-> tabs, is already disabled.

  Try to set the pref browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground to true on the topic: config page.
