• xdg-open does not take into account the url and opens the different website when Firefox is the default browser in Ubuntu

  I am running Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit with Firefox version 38 for Ubuntu
  It is complected, and I tried to explain everything clearly.

  Today, I noticed a strange behavior.
  I have several URL saved as .desktop files.

  I use webupd8.org as example.
  The code for the exec in the desktop file is:
  Code:

  Exec=xdg-open http://www.webupd8.org/
  

  Today, I noticed that if I try to go to webupd8.org, or most of the other sites, by launching the .desktop file for this site, or by typing the url
  Code:

  http://www.WebUpd8.org/

  in the dashboard Firefox opens to a completely different site. The site that opens is a site that I set up for my children's grandparents to watch videos and see photos of the children. This Web site opens each time. I'm not be directed to a site at random each time. This is the case when I try to visit the webupd8.org OR one of several websites using .desktop file or enter the url you want in the dashboard. Whenever I went to my own domain.

  It happens that I have also several sites registered in a reminder in the Firefox icon in the Launcher sidebar thing in Ubuntu.
  In the case of the beast, the exec code is slightly different and it still responds as it should. In this case, I have:
  Code:

  Exec = firefox-new-tab http://www.webupd8.org/

  Also, if I change my default in opera browser, for example as .desktop files and entering the url directly in the dashboard work as it should.

  To recap:

  When Firefox is the default browser, enter a url in the dashboard or use a to surf to a desired site .desktop file causes my be redirected to my own domain name (which is hosted remotely and not on this computer).

  If, however, I change the Exec command in the .desktop file
  Code:

  Exec=xdg-open <url>
  

  TO
  Code:

  Exec = firefox-new-tab < url >

  the .desktop file will open Firefox and go to the desired site.

  If I change the browser by default Firefox to another browser, everything works as it should and has always so far. That is, with the Opera for example, both
  Code:

  Exec=xdg-open <url>
  

  and
  Code:

  Exec = firefox-new-tab < url >

  result in the browser by opening and going on the planned site. Typed a url in the dashboard is not a problem if the default browser is not Firefox.

  Anyone seen this before? If so, how to solve it?

  Thank you very much for your answers!
  I checked the url of the home page in Firefox and it has been set at startpage.com, but then when I looked at the default programs in Ubuntu, I noticed that the default program for the web had been unintentionally configured to use a .desktop file that leads to t he admin for my Web site login page.

  I changed this back to Firefox and the problem was solved.

• Re: v.3.6.10; I couldn't open a new tab or using the icon in the Navigation bar, or the 'new tab' at the end of the Strip to tabs. How can I fix this?

  Do a right click on a topic and opening it in a new bar are NOT a problem; a new tab with the new field opens suddenly.

  The problem is when I intend to copy and paste a URL into a new tab: I can not open a new tab for this - I need content myself using the current tab, to paste the URL, OR open a new window to paste the URL.

  This was not the case in my decade (?) to use Firefox. This is the first time this has happened.

  HELP please.
  Thank you very much.

  Sometimes, when I try to type on a new layer of text, the cursor insists on going to a previous text layer. Any advice?

  Any help to this phenomenon will be appreciated.

  This is something that has affected the PS CC 2014 (I only trnsferred to CC 2015 today)

  If you click the text tool in the area of text to another layer, the layer text will be often selected. You need to lock or disable the visibility of the layer when you work with layers of text that are close together.

• How can I stop firefox from redirecting me to dumb the survery everytime I open a new page?

  Everytime I open the browser, from this morning, it redirects me to an investigation. Everytime I open a new tab or page, it redirects me to an investigation.

  This looks like a problem with a computer/malware on your computer. Please try these steps:

  1. Reset firefox (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
  2. then go to firefox > addons > extensions and where there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
  3. Finally, run a full scan of your system with security tools like the free version of malwarebytes and adwcleaner to ensure that adware is not present in other parts of your system as well.

• Everytime I open a new firefox window, a new tab opens with the new window. How do I stop this?

  Everytime I open a new Firefox window, the new window opens to the page of hope (as I want him), but then a tab opens with the new window. I want Firefox to stop doing this. When I open a new window I want just the window to open it. I don't know how to solve this problem I've known idea how I did that happen. First of all, it happened when I hit Ctrl + N to open a new window, but I did not hit the "N" itself. I pressed one of the other keys around the "N" and this issue has started.

  It's quite strange!

• I want to open a new tab, but keep the cursor in the adressbar. Right not every time I open a new tab, I come to a page with google search and the firefox logo.

  Everytime I open a new tab, I'm greeted by this page

  http://blog.Mozilla.org/UX/files/2012/05/Firefox-beta-13-redesigned-About_Home-Page1.PNG?128c42

  Is a small problem for me, because when I want the cursor at the beginning in the adressbar. So, if for example, I opened a new page, I type in imdb.com I receive directly on imdb.

  Today, however, with the Home tab firefox screen. I have to do a google search for imdb.

  A small problem perhaps, but enough to be annoying.

  Is there a way to move the settings or something similar, and keep the cursor in the address bar after you open a new tab?

  Hello

  If you only want the new tabs do not have home page, you can change it by going in your Subject: config page and replacing "browser.newtab.url" Subject: vacuum. For me at least, if I open a new tab on a white page, the cursor remains the address bar.

  In order to change your Firefox Configuration please follow the following steps:

  1. In the address bar, type Subject: config

  and press enter. The subject: config "this might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.

  1. Click on I'll be careful, I promise! to keep the comments: config page.

  If you also want to change your home page to a blank page, you can do so in virtue:

  • (on Windows) Tools > Options > general, or
  • Menu

    

    > Options (preferences on Mac and Linux) > general

  Then change the dropdown to "when Firefox starts:"so that it is set to 'Show a blank page'.»

  Note that you can continue to do research on the awesome bar and search bar where you want to do a Google search.

  Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

• How can I keep search Babalon from appearing everytime I open a new tab?

  I used to have the problem that whenever I open Firefox, my homepage, motor of research and new tabs were all Babalon search. I managed to get rid of the search engine, and I think I've fixed to the homepage, but everytime I open a new tab need me always in search of Babalon. I removed all the AddOns that are associated with Babalon, I have also removed/uninstalled programs Babalon. I even tried simply to block the Web site, but that doesn't seem to work. All suggestions are welcome! Thank you!
