When I open a link from an email the tab does not have any shortcuts or password fill options. How do I fix this?
I click the link. A new browser window opens instead of the tab and none of the shorts cuts are showing.

Hi jdrubin99, when a website opens a popup window, it can exclude the main toolbar (Firefox shows only the address bar section and the menu button), menu bar, etc.
There are two different workarounds you can try, depending on your preference:
Force Scripted Windows with Features into a New Tab Instead
When you force the popup into a tab, it will of course have the same toolbars as the current window. Here's how:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful or accepting the risk.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste link.o and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction and edit the value to 0 (that's a zero) to divert both regular AND scripted windows with features to a new tab instead (assuming you have Firefox set to divert windows to a new tab instead)
Prevent Sites From Hiding Bars
Firefox has numerous settings you can use to override sites' removal of popup window features. These are named in some strange ways, but you should be able to get it to work the way you want. Here's how:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful or accepting the risk.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste feat and pause while the list is filtered
(3) The relevant preferences are the one starting with dom.disable_window_open_feature and these may be the most interesting, depending on which toolbars you want:
- Double-click the dom.disable_window_open_feature.toolbar preference to switch the value from false to true -- this means the site is disabled from removing the main toolbar (I use true for this)
- Double-click the dom.disable_window_open_feature.personalbar preference to switch the value from false to true -- this means the site is disabled from removing the Bookmarks toolbar (but it will only show if you have turned on the Bookmarks Toolbar for other windows)
- {Windows users:} Double-click the dom.disable_window_open_feature.menubar preference to switch the value from false to true -- this means the site is disabled from removing the top menu bar (File, Edit, View...) (but it will only show if you have turned on the Menu Bar for other windows)
This demo page has a link to trigger a pop-up so you can test your changes: https://jeffersonscher.com/res/popit.html
Can you get it to work the way you prefer?
