Firefox keeps opening new tabs on its own... I have run virus scans and re-uploaded. Help!
OK, random tabs open in Firefox often enough to really boring. I don't want to go back to IE (ew), but I will if I can not solve this problem. Normally, it's a Google ad that opens, but today, an adult product site open. I have a 13 years old girl who didn't need to see this.
Here's what I did to try and fix this problem until now...
-J' uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox to Lea 4 times
-J' ran Malware Anti-Malware bytes, Ad-Ware, AVG analysis and Super Anti Sypware... several times
-J' deleted and replaced the WS2_2.dll DLL with a new
-J' have reconfigured modules according to another support site.
Anyone got ideas? I really want to go back to IE! Help, please!
Well someone at - it a solution?

Whenever a new tab opens to access a web page or 'Home' a tab options opens. Sometimes I have several tabs of options showing that the tabs of the site. How can I disable Options so that she will leave the opening of new tabs? I don't have this problem on my desk top only my laptop.
Firefox uses a vertical bar ("|") in order to separate several home pages.
You can check the setting of the home page to see if the subject: preferences page is included among the home pages (| subject: preferences #general).This can happen if you click on "use current page (s) ' to set the home page and about: preferences is open in a tab.
You can pin the tab with the subject: the preferences page to avoid including: preferences for layout home page if you want to use this button.
To set a page as the home page, you can drag the globe/lock for the home button. -

Tried to open facebook. Firefox constantly opening new tabs for facebook to infinity
Never had problem before above. We also have a laptop that is not experienceing this problem-(in a different name facebook account)
One of your modules could be the culprit. Try running Firefox in questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode. If that solves the problem, see Troubleshooting extensions and themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems and troubleshooting questions with plugins like Flash or Java to solve common Firefox problems.

It is a general question about how best to work with many open web sites. Sometimes I open 10-20 at the same time. Sometimes I will open a second or a third copy of the browser and have several tabs there too.
Some other browsers use a separate process for each window that opens, Firefox is not. It doesn't matter how many windows you have open in Firefox, that you use a "session" or process of Firefox.
The only exception to this is with Firefox 3.6.4 & versions of plugins is running in a separate process "plugin - container.exe".

Ads keep opening new tabs/pages
I tried to answer the question on this forum because I found out what he was doing... https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/questions/982727
I tried to check malaware, virus check... so figured it out. In the first Panel uninstall both programs SnapDo (if you have them - solves the problem of not being able to edit your irritating new search options)
Then look for a program on the list in your list control called fst_za_17 Panel
It's the little Minx who is to play with you... After you have uninstalled it I FINALLY corrected the freaking question.See you soon
SI will be this marked as resolved via https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../982727

I used the same setup file, but on 1 pc, the "Open new tab" button is available in the menu 'Customize toolbar' and can be dragged and drop on the navigation bar. On the other pc, the "Open new tab" button/icon is not yet available for drag / drop. I uninstalled firefox completely, including the settings and preferences, then reinstalled, but that has not fixed the missing button.
Hello
Please try to restore the default value in the Customize... window. If it is still not visible, one of the reasons could be that the button is already placed on the toolbar, but can be hidden behind a different icon or toolbar.

How can I open new tabs at the end on firefox 7?
Hello
Just went to 7. However he told me that the plugin "new tabs to end ' will not work with it. Upgrade to the most recent plugin, always tells me it won't work.
Anyway everyone knows I can get 7 to open new tabs at the end instead of adjacent to the reference tab? I would like to to level but not at the expense of losing the basic functionality.
Thank you very much
Evan
Here is a workaround without need of any add-on:
-> Open Firefox and type Subject: config in the address bar
- When you see a warning, click I'll be careful, I promise you
-> On the filter bar at the top of the topic: config page, type in browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent
- preference browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent , click Toggle -> it is now set to False
-> Close Firefox and restart Firefox
Check and tell if its working.
About new tabs at the end of 1.0, see this:
- https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/addon/new-tabs-at-the-end/
- It clearly States in the Version information section that he works with: Firefox 3.6 - 6. So that means it is not supported / compatible with Firefox 7
- To get help with this add-on, ask developers to Add on this subject.

Firefox recently started opening new tabs when I click on search results how do I get this to stop
When I use Google and I click on a search result, it opens a new tab, where it used to just take me to a new page in the tab I was using, I searched on the tabs tab in options and saw I could choose to open in a new window, but I don't see an option to open it in the current tab. It started to arrive from nowhere.
Found a setting in Google that said to open all the result in a new window that I guessed that Firefox has been the substitution and open it in a new tab as suggested settings unchecked the box in Google and now the behaviour is back to normal.
