Firefox opens new tabs in the form of tabs first, then move on to the new windows

I'm running FF 14.0.1 and the problem has persisted through a number of versions.

Initially FF will open new tabs... CTRL + t work, do a right click to open in a tab etc all work fine. Sometimes the tabs are now question and I can get maybe 20 or open several tabs. And then other times we seem to be an arbitrary limit, say 5 tabs, and then each new tab opens a new window. No external link opens in a new window, a Ctrl + t opens in a new window, all new windows are the only image, for example, you can have a number of windows each tell 5 tabs, just the original (for example) window 5 and then a series of windows with only unique pages in each, and which Ctrl + t doesn't open a new window.

A full restart sometimes heals things and I can go back to have different pages in different tabs and then something... without obvious motive... launch us in the "new window only" mode after what even if I reduce the number of tabs in the original window many tabs, Ctrl + t opens only new windows.

He's really starting to happen to me... I have searched the technical support information and wonder about a full reset or even uninstall and reinstall. places.SQLite is verified as valid and I also, have it reindexed all to no effect.

Try Firefox Safe mode to see how it works there.

A way of solving problems, which disables most of the modules.

(If you use it, switch to the default theme).

  • You can open the mode without failure of Firefox 4.0 + by pressing the SHIFT key when you use the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • Or use the Help menu option, click restart with the disabled... modules while Firefox is running.

Do not choose anything at the moment, just use 'continue in safe mode.

To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the shortcut of Firefox (without the Shift key) to open it again.

If it's good in Firefox Safe mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one.

  • How to prevent the FF31 opening new window? I want to open all links in a new tab at the top of page.

    I think the following quote, below, for help on the page is my problem.

    I have a site that I use when I click on a link in the Web site it opens a new window with the tab down. In addition, when this happens, I lose the orange rectangle FireFox, bookmarks and navigation options. How can I define FF31 so that the link opens in a new tab, and I keep all my options? I use Classic theme restaurateur 1.2.3. I also note that, in the new window, I lose the ability to use some of the addons.

    I have two laptops and both are running FF31 and W7. One of them works perfectly and the other is having this problem. As far as I can tell they are both defined by the same. The only difference is that when I upgraded to FF31 they both had difference older versions of FireFox. I also read in the help forum that maybe I need to go back to FireFox 28 to accomplish what I am trying to accomplish.

    I noticed that when I'm going under: config that the version of FF that does not work unless options compared to the version that works. An example would be that the working version has 'browser.tabs.onTop' where, on the other computer laptop is missing.

    > > > open new windows in a new tab instead: this option controls whether links from other applications or from web pages which request to open them in a new window opens in a new window or a new tab in the most recent window.
    Note: If you have chosen to open pages in new tabs, Firefox will ignore this option and opens a new window from a link if the page author specified that the new window must have a specific size, because some pages cannot be displayed correctly to a specific size. < < <

    Thanks in advance for any help,
    Yeto

    You can override how the links are opened through the browser.link.open_newwindow.override preference.

    Use it for links opened via JavaScript.

    After clicking on the link, Firefox opens 2 tabs double address of this link.
    Here is the site: http://www.hifishark.com/search?q=sony

    On 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.

    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.

  • Some programs open new window instead of a new tab in the open window

    Firefox 17.0.1. I have the option "Open new windows in a new tab instead" together, I use the addon of Tree Style Tab 0.14.2012111201 (and other unrelated tabs or windows), and I have several profiles. It seems that since I started to use several profiles some programs (help of MediaMonkey, for instance) insist on opening a new window of Firefox. If I select one or several profiles currently open it says "Current usage profile". Some programs who want to open a website to view their help files open a tab in the current browser, as window expected and desired. But most programs cause choose it display a profile box.

    Make sure that you do not start Firefox with the - No.-remote switch or have defined the MOZ_NO_REMOTE = 1 environment variable (Control Panel > system > advanced > environment variables).

    If you need to have several open profiles at the same time then start the following instances with the - no - remote line switch.

    You can't send links from other programs to a Firefox instance that is started with the - non-interrupteur to distance.
    In this case, you must drag the links in a Firefox window or paste the link into the address bar.

    On the one hand, you cannot uninstall Safari.  It comes as part of the operating system.  So, I don't know what you've done or what you think you did, but this is not that.  Could you explain more by what you mean with "I get reimage opening in a new window?  You can post a screenshot of what happens?

  • How to open PDF documents in the same window?

    Prof. Acrobat X / Windows:

    How to manage open PDF documents in the same window?

    When I open more than a single PDF docs and a second, third,... window opens, each document is opened in a separate window.

    In previous versions (Acrobat 8 Prof.), all the documents were opened in the same window.

    This is especially useful, because the windows are not spread over the entire desktop, and with ALT + TAB I can change between the documents, if I don't have that one window.

    Thanks for any help.

    When I hit the button on home page on the Firefox toolbar, it now opens a whole new window instead of a new tab. He used to work until I upgraded to Firefox 9. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    You normally only get a new window if you press the SHIFT key when you click the Home button.

    That is the case also if you use the shortcut keyboard (Option + Home)?
