How to stop firefox launches a second browser while moving between tabs.

I almost always have several tabs open in firefox and intermittently when I return to a window with tabs rather than open this window in my browser current firefox will launch a new (second) browser and open my old tab here - closing the tab in the first browser.
I move between the tabs by clicking the tab and most of the time it will open the tab, but exactly the same thing intermittently will launch this second browser.
All other functions with firefox work normally

Versions of Firefox 3.5 and later have a feature called tabs.

You can detach a tab in the current window and open in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window.

You can drag the tab to the tab bar in the original window to cancel this detachment.

  • How to stop Firefox to get suddenly an error message saying tabs are still open at the opening of the browser?

    We have a MAC OS X 10.6.8 and all of a sudden, when we close Mozilla (at the same time using the red x and 'Quit') the next time we open Mozilla, it has a "well this is embarrassing" screen of error and we ask if we want to reopen our last session. Then it will be some email, Web page, fb page etc. who we were and that we can close or reopen it.

    It started last week, we had the computer 2 years and have never had this problem before. I tried to restart Mozilla and after a few hours it started to do it again.

    Hello, this requires a more recent version of firefox. to work around the problem in the meantime, you can try this: enter about: config in the address bar of firefox (confirmed the message information where it appears) and search for the preference named browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash. Double-click it and change its value to false.

  • HO to stop Firefox is still my browser favorite?

    I use Safari as my main browser (it suits me). Sometimes I want to use Firefox because Safari sometimes does not work with some sites (Safari is an Apple product and not all sites work with it). Whenever I click on a web address and Firefox is available to run, it starts up and somewhere brazenly tells me that it is my favorite browser, but I can't find anywhere to stop it. It is very annoying and if I can't find a solution I'll have to remove Firefox from my system.

    Any ideas please?

  • How to stop Firefox Sync synchronization Personas?

    Firefox Sync keeps syncing my characters between browsers, which is a bit frustrating because I prefer to keep separate personas on different computers. I can't find an option to turn it off. Does anyone know how to do this?

    Sorry ' end this pref is added by synchronization only when the Personas Plus extension is also installed.
    services. Sync.prefs.Sync.extensions.personas.Current

    I don't see a separate pref for Personas in a profile where Sync is the only extension is installed.

    My suggestion is for you to post this question during the synchronization of Firefox / armor support forum here - http://getsatisfaction.com/mozilla_labs/products/mozilla_labs_weave_sync - and hope to see developers computer Sync and can put on a list of 'tasks' for this project, especially since 'Sync' will probably be part of Firefox 4 , rather than be an extension as it is now.

    I see 26 prefs that probably can be used to disable specific preferences or settings for synchronization, and I think I can disable synchronization of stored Personas should be as important as any of the others the prefs.

  • How to stop Firefox from storing the CAC PIN?

    I'm working on the configuration of Firefox to use an ACC Player. In the process, it seems that Firefox saves my PIN. For example, to put in place the .dll file to get Firefox to see the player, I went to view certificates to verify that they were installed. Firefox (legitimately) asked me my PIN code and I entered.

    Then I went to a site requiring CAC, and while he asked me the certificate to be used (correct), he failed to ask me my PIN code and I logged into the site.

    I then closed tab and went to another site and even once, while he asked for the certificate, it did not PIN code.

    Then, I closed Firefox completely (and all other browsers) and rebooted, went to a site. It asking for the certificate but does not ask for the PIN.

    I installed IE Tab v2 because some sites have refused to recognize the card in the reader. After that, he finds the map and asked me for the certificate but not the PIN code.

    The only way to get Firefox to forget the PIN is to restart the computer, but as soon as you use your PIN, it is stored in Firefox.

    It is an extremely huge security breach. The whole point of a CAC is that it requires authentication in two steps. I need the card and the PIN. If someone has my card and they go to a machine that has not been restarted I used, so they can access websites requiring an ACC connection because Firefox has stored my PIN.

    How can I get Firefox to store not the PIN code? I should be asked each time.

    Further investigation reveals that the question leaves ACC in the reader. If you have activated the cert with the PIN and let the ACC in the drive and then go to another site, it asks to cert, but since you already have the PIN, it will not ask again.

    If you pull the ACC and again before you go on the site, it will ask the PIN code again.

  • How to stop Firefox blocking Flash once and for all?

    I have the latest version of Adobe Flash and Firefox insists on constantly to block it.
    I tried the thermostat settings in advance however that they do not make the choice to stop it completely.

    I don't want to switch browsers, but the East is frustrating.
    Thank you for all the solutions.

    Adobe has released an update today to solve critical problems, he admitted were in the 18.0.0.203 version. You can get 18.0.0.209 on this page:

    https://www.Adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html

    No one can promise that this kind of block will never happen. If that happens, if you are not accustomed to using the "Request to activate" feature a plugin, here's what to expect:

    When you visit a site that wants to use the Flash, you should see a notification in the address bar icon and one of the following: a link in a black rectangle in the page or an information bar slides between the toolbar and in the page area.

    If you see a good reason to use Flash, and the site looks trustworthy, you can go ahead and click on the Lego-like icon in the address bar to allow Flash. You can trust the site for the time being or permanently.

    But some pages use Flash only for tracking or play ads, so if you do not see an immediate need for Flash, feel free to ignore the notification! It will just sit there in case you later want.

  • How can I stop Firefox 31.0 close when I close the tab that I previously opened. This has not happened before and is infuriating.

    I am aware that this problem started with the upgrade to Firefox 31.0. If I open Firefox and look at a site Web and then close this Web site and Firefox closes its doors. The same also occurs whenever I close the last of a certain number of websites I have already opened. Previously, I could close the last site looked and the process did not close down Firefox, simply gave me my home page.

    Type of topic: config in the address bar and press ENTER.

  • How to stop Firefox from the start?

    Hey, I think that this problem is part of a bigger problem.

    I tried the suggestions in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/989230 to the letter and yet nothing can fix it.

    For those who won't click on the link or the copy - paste. The problem is the following:

    During startup, Firefox opens automatically on my home page. In this case recently ever since Windows Update 8.1 on July 15, 2014. Also, what happens during the update, is that my ultrabook which supposed to have instant feature now seems to be ultra slow at the start and extremely slow when stopping down.

    Some programs have been installed except the 8.1 patch update and only different before and after that the update which is now Firefox start instantly.

    Solutions I've tried:

    (1) task Manager > startup > want to uncheck just Firefox at startup but not Firefox is here

    (2) open CCleaner > start-up > no even Firefox on it

    (3) searched msconfig > startup > go to the Task Manager > repeat step 1

    (4) went on http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx on the link at the top to start windows > No. Firefox has detected that either, 4-5 entry yellow and 1 red
    4A) have no idea what these means, what I notice, is that yellow could not locate the file, and the Red just here does nothing I guess.

    Here are the four steps I tried without success and I'm very sure that Firefox autostart is originally my laptop started slower than my computer pentium 4 windows 95 I have to the corner of my room.

    Further suggestions other than what I tried would be welcome.

    The problem seemed if being arrested since my laptop got another BSOD.

    I guess that this laptop just needs a foot in the head at work again.
