Kelsenellenelvian Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Why the hell does IE7 keep opening new windows I thought that was what tabs are for? I have changed the tab settings around and still everytime I click on a new favorite link or on a link in a page a new window open just like in IE6 WTF?!?!?! If I don't get this figured out I am gonna switch to FireFox! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricktendo Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 IE7 opening in new tabs is better than IE6 opening crap in new windows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnus Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 i know what ya mean, i had the same problem with it. always just opening windows regardless of tab settings. i now use IE6 and FireFox (ie for websites that don't work right under firefox and vice versa) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I don't get this figured out I am gonna switch to Firefox!Did you check your settings?Tools > Internet Options > Tabs > Settings > Always open popups in a new tab, etc etc.Switch to Firefox 2 anyways.

NiX Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Or just use n1 IE sheel Avant browser.Using it from day1, it has tons of features like online storage for all your favorites, RSS, autofills, ect...So i just log in anywhere and have all my favorites and links :thumbsup: Tab browsing it had long before firefox, and it is using less memory then IE and firefox.http://www.avantbrowser.com/and very active community forum :http://forum.avantbrowser.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIM Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Using it from day1, it has tons of features like online storage for all your favorites, RSS, autofills, ect...This is very useful feature since I'm already sick and tired of managing and merging favorites on my PC at work, PC at home and on the laptop..Similiar features has Portable Firefox, the difference is only that PF is storing data on the USB stick..

xjch18 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 hahahaha! wtf dude! to open such links to a new tab (like favorites, bookmarks) you must first press and hold the control key then click the link... dont let go of the control key if you didnt click the link..by clicking only the link, it will open the link in a new window..
