I do not want Firefox to my main browser or automatically open when I click on a link of my emails, how do I disable this?

• When I click on a link in an email, Firefox opens a new tab, BUT instead to use the new tab to go to the new page, it uses a tab for the new page.

  So if I'm not careful I eventually lose a page of the site I wanted to keep available, and I also have a new tab that does nothing about it.

  Hello

  Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

  If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

  • Click the menu button

    

    click Help

    

    then select restart with disabled modules.

  If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

  • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
  • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
    (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

  When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

  

  If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

  When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

• Yosemite MAC, when I open Firefox I get two windows, when I click on a link in mail, it opens a window not a tab.

  I place the FireFox icon in the dock. When I click to open FireFox it opens two windows both to the homepage. When you click on a link in the email, it will open a window behind the first window rather that open in a tab. There used to be a preference re: opening links, but given that it was useful, it seems that Apple has removed this option unless it's hidden somewhere I can't find.

  What you have is, in my view, two problems.

  • Homepage

  Type of topic: preferences #general< enter > in the address bar.

  There are two settings;

  • At the start of Firefox

  When the browser is started, what you want
  view. Many of us choose view my homepage.

  • Homepage

  When a new page opens up, what do you want displayed.

  1. Use current Page. Use the pages that are never open at this time.
  2. Use the bookmark
  3. Restore by default. topic: Home shows a home page of Mozilla with tools.

  You can use one of these as you want;

  topic: Home (Default Firefox homepage),
  on: newtab (displays the more visited sites),
  Subject: vacuum (a blank page),

  or you can enter any web page or Subject: page you want.

• Firefox, Yahoo - when I click on a link on the home page, an error message appears. What's wrong? -"Your browser has asked that this server could not understand. A request header field exceeds server limit.

  IMac using Firefox 8 and Yahoo as a homepage. When I click on a link of news it brings up the error message next - "your browser has requested that this server could not understand. A request header field exceeds server limit. When I use Safari it is no problem.

  I did as b ^ 24554 and cleared out the cache and cookies and the problem seems to be resolved. Thank you.

• New tabs for Firefox will not open unless by clicking on a link while browsing.

  To expand on what the issue is, whenever I try to open a new tab, it does everything simply. Only new tabs open when I click on a link that also opens the page in this link in a new tab. Even when I try to do the same thing in the file menu and Ctrl + t. otherwise, Firefox works normally. Yesterday, I downloaded a program called 'FLV player' I knew came with a bar ask.com toolbar, but for some reason, from ask.com to the home page for Firefox. After that, I changed the homepage to Firefox, return to the default page.

  Ask Toolbar can cause this problem. Uninstall it.

• Firefox on Windows. When I click on a link, Firefox hangs up with a rotating cursor. Problem goes away by moving the mouse. This does not happen with IE.

  Using Firefox 27.0, when I click on a link, a rotating cursor appears and continues to run. Move the cursor will solve the problem. I had this problem for several versions of Firefox, and I use automatic updates.

  Please update Firefox, troubleshoot Add - ons and if this does not help, then do a clean reinstall.

  Thank you!

• Firefox does not have a Web site when I click on a link.

  When I click on certain links firefox opens a new tab, but does not launch the web page. The tab says (GIF, 1 x 1 pixel Image), but the screen is blank. I can get to sites on firefox to my wife, but not on mine or chrome on my computer.

  Some firewalls like Kaspersky can block content and send a GIF 1 x 1 instead.
  
  Kaspersky: Protection > firewall > Filtration System: disable the banner "Ad Blocker".

• not ask web pages uddenly that appears when you click on a link to

  I'm on a Web page that I want and I click on a relevant link for more information about this page. The link opens correctly but so is another page that I did not and has no connection or interest to what I do. Then I have to cancel the unwanted page and one remains open. It's very annoying and can you please tell me how to stop it. It only started happening recently.
  Thanks - I hope

  I understand when you click a Web link within a site, two Web pages open instead of one. This looks like some kind of Adware and I would recommend looking for malware or reset Firefox (please understand that this will restore Firefox to its default values, and all customizations will be removed in a folder called 'Old Firefox Data' on the desktop)

  I use outlook. When I click on a link, I get a message that "the address was not understood. I need to open links.

  Do you mean Outlook, the program which is part of Microsoft Office on your PC, or Outlook, the new Hotmail?

  If you right-click > copy the location of the link and then paste it into the address bar, it starts with an unusual Protocol? I mean, something other than http or https? If so, Firefox cannot be put in place to open links with this Protocol. What is it?
