Are you using Tweetdeck on the web (https://web.tweetdeck.com/)?

What kind of links are you referring to? If I click a link in a tweet to a picture, it appears in an overlay; if I click a link to an external website, it opens in a new window or new tab depending on how I have the preference set under

orange Firefox button or classic Tools menu > Options > Tabs

I just realized I have 14.0 beta 12, but I'll update and see whether anything changes.


14.0.1 (release version) seems the same.

Just to compare, here is what I get in Firefox 14.0.1.

(1) Click pic.twitter.com link, displays in a Lightbox-style overlay inside the app.

(2) Click an external link (e.g., shortened URL), displays in a Firefox window outside the app. The Firefox window comes to the front.

Is the difference that Tweetdeck used to stay in front, and now Firefox moves in front of Tweetdeck?

Hi dearestalice, have you installed Firefox 15 yet? I wonder whether it might have changed this behavior.

Firefox 15 ?? i thought its only Firefox 14 now ??

Firefox 15 became available last Tuesday before the holiday, but automatic update notifications are not sent to everyone all at once, so you might not yet have gotten the word. Please let us know whether it makes any difference.

I've seen some confusing behavior opening new windows. Sometimes the new Firefox window I expect to stay in front will move behind the window from which it was launched; in other words, the opposite of your problem. I can't figure out any pattern yet. ??

Hi mffaswan, if you are opening links from Tweetdeck in Firefox, have you noticed the change described by the original poster that the Firefox window used to open behind Tweetdeck and now it opens in front of Tweetdeck?

But when I open links from tweetdeck in Internet Explorer , IE window still open behind tweetdeck just like Firefox 13.0 , and after Firefox change to 14.0 , it opens in front of tweetdeck now. you need to try open few links to test it. usually you open the first link , window will def. pop up , but after you open few more links , they just open those links behind tweetdeck .
