Safari by opening a new tab randomly on each click

Hello

I use macbook pro mid 2012 model (OS X 10.11.6).) Spent 2 days since my Safari (version 9.1.2) is oddly opens a new tab with a few ads on each click.

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

  • 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 open a new tab, I have to click in the navigation bar before writing in it. I want to be able to write in the new tab directly when I open it.

    Before I did a reset of firefox every time I open a new tab with ctrl + n, that I could write to it directly, now I have to click on the area of navigation to be able to write to it. I use Firefox on Windows 7 25.0.1.

    Hello again, now recently the problem has corrected it self. I haven't changed anything at all except to, I changed the browser.newtab: newtab and after that, I was able to write in the searchfield directly. More while I did nothing at all.

    But thanks for the help anyway!

  • Is there a way to bring back the "Open a new tab" option by right clicking on the tab?

    I just upgraded to the latest version of Firefox (6.0). Yesterday he informed that an upgrade to Firefox 5. (something) was available and asked if I wanted to spend. I went for it. However, I had not used since then until today. Now when I opened it today it asked me if I wanted to upgrade to version 6.0. Without hesitation, I went for him also.

    Although this version is pretty, it's a little weird to use. Previously, whenever I tried to open a new tab, I right click on one of the tabs (current tab or another tab) and after a right-click, he had the opportunity to open a new tab , as well as a few other options. Now there is no option. There is the button to open a new tab, but what happens if I want to open a link in a new tab by clicking right on it? Even the option to open in a new window is also absent.

    Is there a way to bring back these settings/options previous tab? If so, how?

    PS in my bookmarks bar, when I click on a bookmark icon, it has the same options/settings as he had previously in the last version I used (last version I used was 3.something; while I had updated to version 5 something I had not used except to open the browser when it asked me to upgrade to version 6.0). Options on the right by clicking the bookmark icon are:
    Open
    Open in a new tab
    Open in a new window
    New bookmark...
    New folder...
    New separator
    Cup
    Copy
    Dough
    Delete
    Properties

    I would also like to mention here that I know shortcut keys; so please don't waste your time trying to help me in this way. Thank you.

    # The tab bar is a regular toolbar in recent versions of Firefox, so you get the normal of a toolbar context menu if you right-click the tab bar.

    You can double-click an empty space on the tab bar to open a new tab if you do not want to use the new tab button.

    You can drag a link on the new tab button to open this link in a new tab.

    You can also drag the new button tab on another toolbar, if you'd better like that.

  • 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.

    A way of solving problems, which disables most of the modules.

    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.

    somewhere on the update, I got a yahoo toolbar, I did not like. Tasks was to bring up a search box and yahoo news, when you open a new tab each time. I was not able to uninstall it or turn it off, no idea where to start. When you open the new tab, it starts to 'click,w3i.com'and then "search.yahoo.com" and has some research trends and the latest news, my network is slow with waiting for all these things happen. No idea how to eliminate it or turn it off. It is not listed in the toolbars or options or modules or plugins or anything. Here are the two links of that tab through, they are listed in reverse order. Thanks for the help. Have a great day.

    If this isn't the case, then an extension has changed this behavior.

  • How can I open a new tab to a previous tab

    I got things set up so when I opened a tab there should be a "+" on the side of the right hand in a little box that you can click to open a new empty tab.

I also want to make the edges of the more opaque window to see the toolbar. Can help you with this?

    Whenever I try to open a new tab in Safari, it closes in on my previous page. How should I do so that I can have several tabs open?

    What version of OS/Safari do you use?

    Try a reboot.

    Make a backup using Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure that data files can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.

    Try to set up another admin user account to see if the same problem persists. If back to my Mac is enabled in system preferences, the guest account will not work. The intention is to see if it is specific to an account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.

    Isolate a problem by using a different user account

    If the problem is still there, try to start safe mode using your usual account.  Disconnect all devices except those necessary for the test. Shut down the computer and then put it up after a 10 second wait. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the SHIFT key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. Startup is considerably slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a check for directory and disables all start-up and connection, among other things. When you restart normally, the initial restart may be slower than normal. If the system is operating normally, there may be 3rd party applications that pose a problem. Try to delete/disable the third-party applications after a reboot using the UN-Installer. For each disable/remove, you need to restart if you do them all at once.
