When I select a hyperlink on a website that is supposed to open in a new window it will not open. Different browsers have no problem opening it.

This happens quite frequently. Perhaps mostly when that hyperlink takes me to a document, like a PDF. I use the latest windows version.

Side note: I wish it was easier to contact support. I have had other issues that I left unresolved because I couldn't find an answer online and found it too time consuming to go through with all the steps I need to get to, in order to actually ask a question.

Hi ahendren.slopeside, In your Options on the General page Deselect Open links in tabs instead of new windows Then scroll down to Applications There you will see Portable Document Format (PDF) To the right of that double-click on Always Ask and select Preview in Firefox PDF hyperlinks should now open in a new window.
