• Firefox has suddenly started to open a new tab when I update an existing tab. How can I prevent this and get Firefox to not do that?

  Without explanation Firefox now opens a new tab when I try to update an existing one. Worse still, I have to click on the new tab to get the Update window.

  Hi oneangryviewer

  Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

  • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe or make changes.

  "Clear the Cache":

• Firefox does not open a new tab

  Firefox has stopped to let me open a new tab. If I click on the sign more, press Ctrl-T, or go to file > new tab, nothing happens. The only way that will open a new tab is if I click on a link in an email, it opens the link in a new tab. I use tabs frequently and it is very annoying to have to go get an email with a link just so I can open a tab. It doesn't matter if I only have a single or several tabs open. I have not installed another thing that Firefox and Windows updates (I have Windows 7). I am running Firefox 24.0 but the problem started with the earlier version.

  Try Firefox Safe mode to see how it works there.

  The problems of Firefox using Firefox SafeMode

  • You can open the mode without failure of Firefox 15.0 + 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.

  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.

• Since this morning (5/19) I am unable to open a new tab, even after restarting my laptop. I had firefox 3.6.13. I was counting on the update, but I don't know if that will fix the problem, any suggestions?

  Initially, I thought that my laptop has frozen, but it wasn't the case. I don't want to uninstall, I'm at school and I have a lot of bookmarks that are essential to my learning to lose those who would be detrimental to my education. Can someone help with this problem?

• Everytime I open a new tab, a Web site opens upward, even if I put a page white as the opening page. How can I stop this?

  When I open a new tab, it automatically changes to "http://www.bigseekpro.com/search/dns/anyvideo2dvd/{F8DC2913-2606-401B-8AED-0345AD711130}? q =bigseekpro.com/anyvideo2dvd/{F8DC2913-2606-401B-8AED-0345AD711130}? s_src = newta.
