opening new links in tabs

12 years ago

Whenever I click on a link to open it in a new tab, that tab opens at the bottom of the page. I have to scroll back to the top to begin reading. I have rebooted and that doesn't help.

Any advise? TIA

Cannot open a posted URL in new tab!

When someone posts a URL at the end of their post using the "Optional Link URL", why can I no longer open it in a new tab? I use Firefox browser and I cannot right click for that option as I used to do. I too use FF and Right Click on a link and then choose to have it open in a New Tab. What I have noticed in the past day or two is that when I click on a link and choose to open it in a New Tab, that the new tab opens Just to the right of the existing tab I am on, as opposed to it opening over to the very far right as it used to. Make any sense? I believe it has something to do with FF and not with GW. I just went to another site and clicked on a link and chose to have it open in a new tab, and it opened to the very right of the tab I had open. I recently updated FF and think it started happening after that...not positive though. You might try stopping by Computer Help, linked below and ask about it.

I installed Chrome and as you said the center click works on every site but this one. I think it's a javascript problem. http://chrome.blogspot.com/2009/08/tip-opening-links-in-new-tabs.html Link below mentions java script issue, http://superuser.com/questions/501561/middle-mouse-click-doesnt-always-open-links-in-a-new-tab-in-chrome

Maybe Options / Advanced / General tab
Uncheck auto scroll ?

Just a guess.

no, that didn't help. Thanks
I just can't figure it out. It just happens on links that I have opened in new tabs from a different site. I usually use my scroll on my mouse and click on the link to open.
Let me see if it happens if I right click and open in a new tab. BRB

SydneyBean,
I hope I can answer your question. The add on called Tab Mix Plus 0.3.8.7 has a choice in it's options menu to move the tabs to the top of the screen. Under the "Display" section, you can see the options. I have xp and FF9 and it works for me.

My tabs open at the top. The page that opens in that tab opens at the bottom.
Just for instance, I am on a blog and they show something that is on another blog. I click on that link to see the page and I open it in a new tab. The blog in the new tab opens with the comments at the bottom of the page. I have to scroll up to the top of the page to read the article.

Right click anywhere near the top of the browser page to open the context menu, then click on "tabs on top". That should resolve the problem.
