I opened a new tab, click on a bookmark site FF closed all other tabs, why?

This morning, I had 4 tabs open. I clicked to open a new tab and then clicked on a site listed on my bookmarks bar. 21.0 Firefox closed the other 4 tabs and displays the site that I was trying to open in the new tab. Why what happened?

I have Windows X 64 SP1, fully updated 7HP. Also have the punishment of not being able to update the Google Earth plugin, which did not work properly for a week. The currently installed Google Earth Plugin is version 7.0.3.8542. February-26-13. When I clicked to check that plugins are up-to-date Firefox says that the plugin needs to be updated, but the button to update links on itself and does not update the plugin. Interestingly, it does not appear in the list that Firefox automatically added below.

These 2 problems are related? I scanned the computer with Avast free latest version - full analysis. And with the removal of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and Virus of Sophos tool. 2 days ago free Avast put a red warning that I had clicked on an infected link and it has saved my computer crashing. Also asked me if I asked myself why I had an infected system. Nothing has appeared in any of the scans, all the 3 reported my own system.

Prosecute in the Canada

The Google Earth plugin is a GEPlugin in the list of details of the system.

Try to disable this plugin temporarily to see if that allows you to download and install the plugin from the site of GE.

    I often have several site windows open while I pass my emails and go to the articles. When I click on the red circle to close this window, a message says that I am about to close numerous windows, how ever I opened. How can I simply close the single window without closing all others? Thank you.

    Hi dsluther,

    When you have multiple sites open at the same time, we call these "tabs".

    You should see all your tabs lined up near the top of the Firefox window, between the forward/backward buttons and the web page itself. To close a single tab, just need you to click on the 'X' icon on the tab itself, instead of the Red 'X' icon in the title bar of FIrefox.

    This article contains additional information on what the tabs are, how they work and how to manage and close them:
    Use the tabs to organize a lot of Web sites in a single window

    I hope it's useful.

    I tried to install Adware extension to block ads. It keeps loading up a few ads, however still open the tabs. I don't see other extensions (apart from the extension of the Adware that I installed) in the Safari preferences window.

    Some of these new tabs are mackeeper and similar stuff, warning me that I have some serious virus on my system.

    Its very difficult for me to work on my mac.

    Please help me solve this problem. Thank you

  • Is there a way to disable the function where firefox opens a new tab when you scroll a click in the header bar?

    Is there a way to disable the function where firefox opens a new tab when you scroll a click in the header bar? This feature in conflict with my program of multiple monitors (display fusion) since this program allows you to change your current active window the monitor 1 monitor 2 and vice versa BY clicking the header of BAR SCROLLING (or whatever you call the highest part of your window). With firefox, I can't easily change my active window between monitors because instead, it opens a new tab.

    If the window is maximized, you can then switch this pref to disable the display of the tabs in the title bar:

    • browser.tabs.drawInTitlebar = false

    You can open the topic: config page via the address bar.
    You can accept the warning and click on "I'll be careful" to continue.

  • Cannot do Yahoo to stop opening with new tab - even when I click on "Home" in a new tab.

    When I open a fresh tab, arrives with the Yahoo Search page. I went into options repeatedly to remove Yahoo, define search Google as my homepage and set Google as your default search page. Just keep coming back to Yahoo.

    Actually, there is a parameter to the new tab page:

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press enter/return. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste newtab and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the preference browser.newtab.url and enter your favorite page:

    • (Default) page thumbnails = > subject: newtab
    • Blank tab = > subject: empty
    • Built-in Firefox homepage = > topic: welcome
    • Any other page = > full URL of the page

    Press Ctrl + t to open a new tab and check that it worked. Fixed?

    If the problems persist, some potential diagnoses and remedies:

    If Firefox will not let you change this setting: you can have what is called SearchProtect on your system. This must be removed the control panel. If the status is 'locked' we'll need to help you investigate a configuration file "automatic".

    Firefox if allows you to save your changes, but he doesn't know: one of your extensions may be the substitution of her. You can consult, disable and/or remove extensions on page modules. Either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a (Mac: command + shift + a)
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, take a critical look on the list on the right and turn off (or remove) something unknown. If you find something like Searchme, leads or tap, I will recommend additional cleaning measures.

    If the modification works during your session, but during the next startup is return to the unwanted page: you could have a user.js file in your personal settings Firefox (your Firefox profile folder). This article describes how to track down and delete the file: How to fix preferences that will not save.

    A little luck?

  • When I click to open a new tab how to get Firefox to display recent used frequently the web pages instead of my home page?

    When I click the icon "more" to open a new tab appears again my homepage. It displays a page of Web sites recently or frequently used in a format of screenshot showing the home page of the Web site that I could then click on and this website would be the load. Recently, Yahoo had an overlay on its splash screen that asked if I wanted it to be my default search engine. Without thinking, I clicked it and that seemed to change the way my home pages loaded on startup and how clicking on a tab is no longer produced the results I'm looking for as described above. I have since fixed the problem of the homepage so that it now loads properly when Firefox starts.
    Help, please. I would just go back to what I had when I clicked open a new tab. If anyone needs more information or clarification I will provide willingly. Thank you very much.

    One of your modules corresponds to this number, for example, the version 3.18, or sounds associated with "hp" in some way? You can copy and paste a list of your extensions in a response by selecting the Extensions from the list on the next page with the mouse, then using Ctrl + c or right click > copy. Either:

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
    • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

    When you paste, it's a little messy, but we are used to it.

    Hello lsmalls787, try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that disables certain parameters, disables most Add-ons (extensions and themes).

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

    • In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.

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

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. Please follow 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.
