• When you open a Word document downloaded, hundreds of tabs begin opening in Firefox. How can I stop this happening?

  I just installed Office 2007 on my computer and downloaded some documents on the internet. When I try to open Firefox becomes crazy and opens the tabs of the browser faster that I can close them, with no sign of stopping. How can I stop what is happening and have access to the downloads? Any help much appreciated!

  OK, solved. It's not Firefox, it's Windows. Somehow, it had been changed to open Word documents as browsers. I had my suspicions that it wasn't Firefox as Word documents to open in form of tabs in the browser even if Firefox is not running. The only way to open a Word doc was if it was already on the hard drive.

  For someone who has a similar problem, it's how to correct:

  Open my computer.
  On the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
  Click the File Types tab.
  In the registered file types list, click the file that you are trying to open. In my case, it was the doc files. In the list this type of file has been shown by a Firefox icon, indicating that what was used to open the file.
  Under the list of registered file types scroll details for each file type are displayed, with an option for "opens with:
  Click Edit to the right of the present and choose the program to use in the future. Click OK and close the dialog box file types. This should solve the problem.

  Hello BILLYBOB13, also, in the details of your system, it seems that you have a User.js file in your profile folder . The user.js file does not exist by default. If you create the file, forget it, if you do not create the file, delete the file User.js (some programs create and write in the file also).

  Thank you

• Home page to load twice. How can I stop this?

  Whenever I open Firefox, my home page is loaded twice. How can I stop this from happening?

  Firefox allows multiple home pages in separate tabs, perhaps inadvertently affect you the same page twice? These separate pages have a vertical bar | between them in the dialog box 'Homepage'.

• Firefox guard opens an old tab. How can I stop this?

  When I open Firefox, it opens not only a tab with my home page but a second tab that contains old search I did. How can I get it to stop? I use Firefox 30.0 and it says it's updated from 13/07/14 today. I have Windows 7 as operating system.

  Your list of details of the system shows that you have two pages defined as many home pages:

  • Browser.Startup.homepage: http://home.myhughesnet.com/| http://iSearch.Avg.com/search?q=Hughes%20Net%20GEN%203%20speeds & pid = & Coid = & cid = & Mid = & DS = & v = & lang = & PR = & SG = & d = & SAP = NT & src = XP & SND = HP & sap_acp = 0

  Firefox supports several home pages separated by ' |' symbol (pipe).

• When I open a link that opens a new Firefox window, it opens 2 tabs instead of one. How can I stop this?

  When I open a link that opens a new Firefox window, it opens 2 tabs instead of one. A tab is the link that I opened and the second tab is just a generic Mozilla tab with links to 12 pages like Facebook, Youtube, etc. This tab opens on top too, so I always have to close to get what I'm looking for. How can I stop this from happening?

  Hello. Thanks for all the posts on this topic. I have the same problem, as described by the op. But, while I use Avast, I have NOT the add-on from Astromenda which has been mentioned. However, I have the SB installed toolbar, and it has been recently updated, 29/12. I suspect that it is the culprit, if this problem is in fact not caused by an update of Firefox (my tiles have recently been reset on new tabs, and I suspect that Firefox for this problem).

  I am ready to remove the toolbar from the SB, but prefer to keep it (Yes, I admit I'm stupid) If this annoying 'new window = 2 tabs with 'new tab' at the top' would just leave.

  Apart from the removal of the toolbar SB... does anyone have suggestions? I don't see that all recently added add-ons/extensions that I don't recognize, apart from the update of the toolbar of SB.

  Updated: 5 minutes after this announcement, I disabled the toolbar of SB and restarted Firefox. No change.
