Firefox open multiple tabs when I click on an email address.
This is the second time that I checked all this information, I hope it works this time.
A while back, I changed to Firefox's mailto in Options > Applications > mailto
After that, when I would click on an e-mail address, Firefox might open new tabs VERY quickly and would not stop until I used the Task Manager to close Firefox.
I then went back and changed mailto to always ask.
But the same thing always happens when I click on an e-mail address, Firefox opens tabs very quickly until I close with the Manager tasks.
I checked the settings in subject: config "Network.protocol - handler.external.mailto" and it is Boolean, default true.
I don't want a default email program to put, I always ask. Please help with this.
Thank you.
Did you remove the button Delete the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all the actions files?

You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

I can't click on links email on all pages. It causes Firefox open multiple tabs a lot, a lot, I can't close. My only recourse is to exit Firefox and restart it. It happens most of the time, while for clicking an e-mail link I have to open another browser altogether.
Check the application of Mailto in Firefox > Preferences > Applications
Make sure it is not set to the Firefox application.

I have several bugs mentioned in FF 17.0.1. I'm only able to open bookmarks by clicking on them and selecting open in a new tab in the menu dropdown. I can't open a new tab by clicking the new tab or by clicking Open a new tab in the menu at the top of the browser drop-FF. In addition, no buttons work in FF, such as home, previous, next or update. It is so aggravating!
Once I posted this, I restarted with Add ons disabled and it worked... deleted a cpl of addons for the verification of the compatibility and fixed it.

Firefox open multiple tabs of the same site at the same time, why
some site that I visit - when I try to use yahoo or facebook, messaging - multiple tabs of the same pop up and open and bring me to this last open tab - never let me finish what I'm doing. Why is this happening?
I had this problem (when I opened Firefox, Facebook kept several tabs open, even when I was on other sites such as Google).
After you restart Firefox with modules disabled (via the Help menu Firefox), I enabled first of all Plugins, then the Extensions, on-to-one.
The problem is back only when I activated Facebook Toolbar 1.7.3 and disappeared when I disabled it again.
This extension has been updated on 3 August 2011, which is probably when the problem started to appear (worse gradually). The extension tries to integrate some utilities of Facebook with the browser, but it's something that I can easily live. If you are having similar problems, try disabling Facebook Toolbar 1.7.3

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.

After clicking on the link, Firefox opens 2 tabs double address of this link.
After clicking on the link, Firefox opens 2 tabs double address of this link.
Here is the site: http://www.hifishark.com/search?q=sonyOn the right side of the page, when I click on SHOW, 2 tablets of addresses duplicated this link open.
I've been on this site before and 1 tablet would open normally.I think this started to happen when I clicked on 'Restore Default Set' in the window customize the toolbar.
This does not happen with IE or Chrome browsers.
The link DISPLAY on top of the site, seems to be the only link that what is happening.
When I click with the right button on a SHOW and click on "Open link in a new tab" 1 tab opens.No change in safe mode.
This happens to someone else?
Any ideas appreciated.
Thank you
Hi jorb, it doesn't surprise me that scripts work sometimes differently in different browsers. Unfortunately, the scripts are hard to follow, so I can't offer a specific solution.

Save multiple tabs on the fence, Reopen Multiple Tabs when restarting
Since the last update, I can no longer save multiple tabs when Firefox is closed. Please restore this ability so that when Firefox is opened again, the same tabs in the window of Firefox more recently closed reappear! Thank you!
Now, Firefox always stores the old session which you can access from the history menu by selecting "restore previous Session."
If you always open the last set of tabs, another approach is the following:
- Click on the orange button Firefox, then select options to open the options window
- Go to the general Panel
- Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "show my windows and tabs from last time '.

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