Open the link of Windows 8 VM in Mountain Lion Safari
Hello
I have a problem with my vm web links open in my native operating system.
I have setup a Windows 8 VM via Fusion 5 on a device of MountainLion.
Links in windows 8 is always open in its internet explore.
In the settings of the virtual machine, I activated the option to open files Windows with Mac Applications.
I think the problem are standard applications in windows 8.
If I set the default webbrowser on "Default host Application" it works the VMWareHostOpen.exe twice and it shows an error like window which explanes how to use the .exe (which is the normal behavior if I just run the .exe of my Explorer).
"Access to the programs and default settings" - window closes and opens again with 'use my current webbrowser. That's why I can't verify that it is set properly on 'by default the host Application'. But still, it opens links in ie.
If I run the VMWareHostOpen.exe with an option to url (like http://www.google.com) it opens the url in my Safari mac.
No idea how to solve this problem?
Thank you!
(Sorry for the screenshots being German, did not find an option to change the language )
I was having the same problem and found a solution, because it was really frustrating. Relocation of the VMWare Tools has not helped and not by adjusting the settings of VMWare.
In Windows 8, go to control panel > default programs. Click "Set your default programs."
You should then see a list of programs, including a virtual default to the Application host computer. Click it, and then click "Choose default for this program."
You will see that there is a bunch of boxes not ticked in the extensions list. Click the checkboxes of the links you would like to have open by your Mac Web browser (safari, firefox, etc.). Mine works fine for links Web being opened by Outlook on Mac Firefox now.
Then, test - it should work now as before. It's weird that you can not change this in VMWare settings - I guess that it must do more with how Windows 8 is organized. I hope that VMWare updates this parameter with the next update. I hope this helps!

I'm an avid user of pocket and I like to scroll through the different blog sites and save articles to read later. In general, I have been using Google Chrome browser that forces me to open each section in a different tab and then share this article to the Pocket to save him. I was delighted when I found the firefox browser has worked very well and even supported Add ons. I decided to try it, but have encountered a major problem. When I press a link to share, instead of a context window appear and the site remains the same, a context window opens while the site loads the link. When I right click on a link in my browser, it does not mean I want to go to this link, so I do not know why the same procedure would cause the mobile browser to do so. Is there a way I can press a link without having to open the link in this tab?
Well, it's silly, but it's the best I could come up with:
I tested this on Gizmodo: when the menu press and hold appears, instead of lifting the finger pointing upwards, slide it downwards a little, right next to the link, before you lift your finger on the glass. Then the script on the page detects a "mouse up" (or equivalent event) on the link. It works for you?
I know that you cannot see the link in the menu, but one or two lines of text height will usually do.
Would probably be wise for Firefox cancel all events associated with touching the link once the menu is displayed. Or to make sure that the site includes as a right-click (that seems more difficult). I have not checked to see if ideas along these lines have been filed in the bug tracking system.
Edit: Tested on a Nexus 5 (LG).

How do I change the program used to open mailto links in windows 8
I would like to use Firefox to open Mailto links in Windows 8. I found this article of support, but it is not relevant for Windows 8: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-program-used-open-email-links?esab=a & as = aaq
When I open Control Panel-> default programs and try to associate the Mailto with Firefox, the only options it gives me are "Mail" (the Metro app I'm moving away) and "seek an app in the store. No Firefox. How can I get Firefox to show up in the list of applications that can be associated with Mailto? Thanks much for any help.

StageWebView opens the link in a new window
I have a StageWebView with a Web page that contains the ads that are coming from AdMob (due to their current lack of support for AS3 and AIR for Android).
However, when a user clicks on the ad, the linked page opens in this window, so the content is barely readable. Is there a way to make the browser to open the link in a new window, separated from my application?
Of course the AdMob ads were not intended to work in this way, the user and the adveriser are here get cheated (due to lack of current AdMob to support AS3 and AIR for Android).
Thank you!
Yes:
- Listen to the event of change of location
- Use navigateToURL (event. URL)
- Reset the stageWebView to your announcement page location.

Can I set my preferences in 42 of Firefox to open the link in a new tab
I've recently updated for Firefox 42.
I used to be able to set my preferences so that whenever I click on a link or bookmark it open in a new tab (rather that "crush" the tab/window I am). Is it possible to configure this in 42? How?Thank you
Hi, not easy! You know that you can hold the CTRL key while clicking on the left, or do a right click > open link in a new tab.
I suggest you only look to the add-on Open the link in new tab. Also Tab Mix more.
See also Open bookmarks in a new tab , which I use myself.
If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

When I right-click a link and select 'open in a new tab' and 'opens in a new window', nothing happens. In addition, nothing happens when I type a query in the search bar and press ENTER. I tried to restart firefox in safe mode and disabling all add-ons, but the problems continue.
The setting in "tools > Options > tabs: open new windows in a new tab instead" is for links that specify a target window (for example, target = _blank) to open the link.
This option allows to divert these links into a new tab instead of a new window.
Links that do not specify a target always open in the current tab, unless you redefine that with a middle-click or Ctrl (Mac: Cmd) left click (new tab) or a left click UPDATE (new window) or via the context menu.You can check if you have the XML files including Google's default search engine in the browser\searchplugins file in the Firefox program folder.
If this isn't the case, then you need to reinstall Firefox.
Try to delete the file search.json and possible search - metadata.json and search.sqlite files in the profile folder of Firefox to reset the default search engines.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:- Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file (Linux: open the directory;) Mac: View in the Finder)
- http://KB.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Firefox will rebuild the file search.json from the default search engines in the folder "browser\searchplugins" in the Firefox program folder and the searchplugins folder in the Firefox profile folder.

MouseWheel will not open the link in a new tab
I used to be able to click on a link with my mousewheel and Firefox opens the link in a new tab. It has stopped working.
I use Windows 7 Pro and Firefox 36.0.1
Should what settings I check. Windows looks OK, I use the same mouse and it has stopped working on web sites where this technique used to work until a few days ago.
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.
- Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
- Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe
-
Shortcut of mouse to "Open the link in a new tab" help "Middle-click on the link" does not work on 10.0.1, it worked on version 9.0.1.
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).
- Makes no changes on the start safe mode window.
