• When I open a link that opens a new Firefox window, it opens 2 tabs instead of one. How can I stop this?

  When I open a link that opens a new Firefox window, it opens 2 tabs instead of one. A tab is the link that I opened and the second tab is just a generic Mozilla tab with links to 12 pages like Facebook, Youtube, etc. This tab opens on top too, so I always have to close to get what I'm looking for. How can I stop this from happening?

  Hello. Thanks for all the posts on this topic. I have the same problem, as described by the op. But, while I use Avast, I have NOT the add-on from Astromenda which has been mentioned. However, I have the SB installed toolbar, and it has been recently updated, 29/12. I suspect that it is the culprit, if this problem is in fact not caused by an update of Firefox (my tiles have recently been reset on new tabs, and I suspect that Firefox for this problem).

  I am ready to remove the toolbar from the SB, but prefer to keep it (Yes, I admit I'm stupid) If this annoying 'new window = 2 tabs with 'new tab' at the top' would just leave.

  Apart from the removal of the toolbar SB... does anyone have suggestions? I don't see that all recently added add-ons/extensions that I don't recognize, apart from the update of the toolbar of SB.

  Updated: 5 minutes after this announcement, I disabled the toolbar of SB and restarted Firefox. No change.

  On Windows, start the Task Manager (other systems may have
  different names and / or commands). Select the process.
  Look towards the bottom of the list for Firefox. Click right and then click end task.

• 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!

• A url in an e-mail message opens in the firefox window and then open a new (replacing the original window.

  Using Safari, when I click on a url in an e-mail message, it opens in a new window. Using Firefox, clicking on a url in an email replces the firefox window opened by a new one. I want that they open both.

  Is the email in Firefox and this page is accessing the linked page, or is the e-mail message in a separate program, and it launches the URL in the last active window of Firefox?

  If the problem is an external link, you can check your settings for the following preference:

  (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

  (2) in the filter box, type or paste link.open and make a pause so that the list is filtered. Then look for that and if its value is not 2, change it to 2.

  Browser.Link.open_newwindow.override.external

  -1 = open_newwindow applies to external links (default)
  
  3 = open external links in a new tab
  
  2 = open external links in a new window
  
  1 = open external links in the active tab

  Edit: Probably a good idea to check this one, too, and set it to 2 or 3, as you prefer.

  Browser.Link.open_newwindow

  3 = divert new window into a new tab (by default) (checked *)
  
  2 = allow the link to open a new window (uncontrolled *)
  
  1 = new power window in the same tab

  * First check box in the Options > tabs (on Mac, preferences > tabs)

  I have several firefox windows open and kept to a minimum. When I try to open a new window in firefox, all minimized windows full and are displayed. I am running firefox 8. How can I fix it so that the minimized window is reduced when I open a new window?

  This problem may be caused by an extension that does not work properly (possibly Ask.com toolbar).

  Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).

• One of my two Firefox Windows is stuck at halfway offscreen

  I am running Vista, fully updated. I have two windows open in firefox, both with ten legs. I was moving around and accidentally moved one half out of the screen. Now he is stuck there, and whenever I try to bring him back, he moves slightly, then freezes and doesn't let me do anything until I hit ctrl-alt-del; then when I hit Cancel and return to my office, the window is returned to its original position off screen. I tried to close all currently running C-Cleaner, then by restarting my computer, but no luck. The window returns to the same place and seeds even when I try to move it. I can move the other Firefox window without problems, and Word and windows Digsby. Any ideas?

  In the Task Manager Applications tab, you can right-click each Firefox window and select to "maximize".

  You can start by CTRL + ALT + DELETETask Manager.

  I found that he was kidnapped and recommended update after version 40 Firefox: https://support.1password.com/v3-extension-firefox/

  In the past, a new profile has been recommended to be created with the latest version of 1Password in Firefox. Use the Profile Manager to create and delete profiles Firefox , first try a new profile and see if the new tab opens correctly.
