Firefox maximizes another window whenever I click on a link that opens in a new window
This does not happen on my laptop at home, only on my desktop since 2-3 weeks.
Basically, whenever I open a new link that requires a new window pop, my most recently open window will maximize with her. It becomes very annoying as sometimes I need to quickly return to my old window and I minimize this window to other institutions.
I did my research on the internet, but also here and don't got no definitive answer. I hope someone can help!

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

I've updated that page was to tell me, but nothing seems to be different. The new tab opens when I click on an image to enlarge it, when I opened a new tab manually or when I open a page by a link.

Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.
(If you use it, switch to the default theme).
- You can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
- Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.
Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

Once it is open, it works fine. I can move the document or page without any problems, it's just the opening. This does not happen when it opens a new tab. Only, when it opens a new popup page. Same thing with Firefox from opening in the morning. I did the same process in IE and has not had the same problem.

JavaScript windows do not appear after you click a link that opens a new window
When I try to click on a link that opens a new window (like to put an image in a Tumblr post or use an article on Neopets (don't judge me)), it will not. In the lower left corner of the page, it says "javascript:; ' or ' JavaScript: void ' or something like that.
In this regard (I think), Firefox only opens a new window, even if I press ctrl + N or manually, click on 'New window' in the menu.
Safe mode disables Extensions and themes (appearance) in Tools (Alt + T) installed > Add ons. Hardware acceleration is also disabled (the manual setting is in tools > Options > Advanced > general > use hardware acceleration where possible). You can try to isolate the cause of deactivation/activation of suspicious modules or try in groups.

I am on a site I visit every day, Facebook, for example. It has a link to a story or perhaps an invitation for something I want to know more. I click on the link that opens a new window but nothing happens I'm looking at a blank window. This same problem occurs with clicking on links in an email from trust. I did not have this problem with the previous version.

You can override how external links are open via the browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external preference.

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.
