Firefox keeps opening links and new tab
During the navigation, if I long - click on a hyperlink and select "Open in new tab" in the menu that follows, even if it opens the tab it also follows the hyperlink in the source tab. How do you prevent to open the link in my active tab?
Sorry, this seems to be a problem on some pages having the scripts associated with the links. Workaround in a previous thread (for Gizmodo) was to drag your finger down a line or two when the menu appears so that when you lift your finger is not on any link.

I do not do anything. I just read that a web page and a new tab will be opened with this video game. Any idea what's going on here?
It cannot be the cause of your immediate problem, but I suggest strongly that you disable/remove your plug-in popular screensavers - a part of the troublesome MindSpark family.

How keeping open in a new tab; TelevisionFanatic forever?
Whenever I open a new tab, TelevisionFanatic is here. Go away, forever. Thank you.
When you launch a new tab, you get a Web page on a site of TV fanatic? Normally, the only way to replace the new Firefox tab page is an extension.
You can view, turn off and often remove unwanted extensions or unknowns on the page modules. Either:
- CTRL + SHIFT + a (Mac: command + shift + a)
- "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, take a critical look on the list on the right side. All extensions are optional. When in doubt, turn off.
Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.
Any improvement?

Whenever I open Firefox, update checking window first opens, then I get 2 tabs open. One is my home page, the other is the page that opens after you have installed a new version of Firefox. How can I get the Firefox update page to stop opening? I had the same thing happen with the add-on "Download Helper". The only way I could get him to stop was to disable it. I am running windows 7 and 9 of Firefox.
Please, try to create a new profile and check if the problem persists.

For example, when I enter the search term "cabinets" and get a page/tab search results with suggestions such as Sears, JCPenney, or Amazon, I want to be able to click on Sears and open the Sears page in a new tab/page. I want to be able to close the tab to Sears and use the search results tab.
Google offers a framework for this. What it does, it adds a HTML (target = "blank") statement to every result link, which causes Firefox to open in a new tab. If you uncheck the preference to divert new windows in new tabs, Firefox will then open the result in a new separate window.
This preference is stored in a cookie, if you clear your Google cookies often, so you'll need to reset every time. You can do so here:
https://www.Google.com/preferences
(On this page, Google refers to a new window.)

1. when I open Firefox I set it up my gmail page automatically opens. When I want to go on another site a new tab does not open but replace my gmail tab. So I have to use 'back' or 'story' to return to the gmail page. This becomes difficult when I was surfing the web & then have to go back "" across many web pages. I wish that every webpage to open in its own tab. How can I do this?
2. in addition, in the google help center he said: 'If you want to open a link in a new tab instead, just right click on the link and select Open link in a new tab from the context menu." I tried this & the ' Open link in New Tab ' did not appear in the menu. Can you help me find this menu?
If you use Ctrl + left click or middle-click on a link then the link should open in a new tab.

When I click on a bookmark, it will not open in a new tab
I just got a Macbook Pro and installed Firefox. On a PC, whenever I clicked on a bookmark, it opened in a new tab. The same settings do not work on a Mac. The bookmark opens in the same tab, I was sure. Help please
Hello
My understanding is that the default action for the left by clicking on a bookmark should open in the current tab. If you want to open in a new tab, the Middle click button is usually the way to do it.
You can also install the following extensions that will force all bookmarks to open in a new tab:

I tried IE9 and Chrome and don't have this problem. Here is a picture of what my right click menu looks like http://imgur.com/APbUc
Yes, you are missing the two options that are usually on top: 'open in a new tab' and 'open in a new window '.
I guess that it is an extension or a wild theme. You can easily test that by starting Firefox with disabled modules: issues to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode
You can then disable all extensions and select one by one to figure on which we have the problem. If you don't have time for that and don't care about the extensions, you can just reset Firefox: Firefox Refresh - reset the parameters and modules
