When I open a new tab, a new window opens

I used to be able to open multiple tabs in the same window of Firefox. Now, every time I click on a link or access an external link hyper, a new window opens instead of a new tab in the existing window.

Browser.Link.open_newwindow has the value of integer type and a value of 3.

It seems not to matter. The problem persists. I don't want to do a refresh or uninstall and reinstall a new copy. What can I do to fix this? As I said, it has never been this way before and it seems to have started to happen out of nowhere.

Try to set browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external 3 as well.

Have you checked your extensions (associate tab)?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

  • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
  • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe

    Hello

    When I downloaded the new windows 10 my Lightroom won't open.

I use my computer for school and class so I can't get it fixed each time. I also already removed then reinstalled Lightroom and it did nothing. It was working fine before.

  • I want the cursor to be in the address bar when you create a new window; It works for new tabs and a new private window, but not in safe mode.

    I tried following the advice offered in the different threads bit I found on this but nothing works out. I want the cursor to be in the address bar when I open a new window or when firefox opens without restoring a previous session. I solved the problem for new tabs via subject: config, but it does not work for the new windows. I tried safe mode and the problem persists. In a new private window, the cursor is in the address bar.

    A new window opens the homepage (default: subject: House) and not the new tab page (default: subject: newtab).

    Some of the built-in pages set the focus to the search bar on the web page, just like the Google site only.

    You can use a bookmark in the bookmarks toolbar that opens the subject: blank page.
    If you hold down the SHIFT key when you click this bookmark, then you open a new widow with this page.
    Otherwise, you need to set the home page to about: blank or on the point: about to have easy access to all the pages.

    I remove the tick in the settings but I don't have this problem
    When I open a new tab in my bookmarks toolbar, that it must be on top.

    Do you mean when you Ctrl + click a bookmark (or use the right click > open in a new tab), you want the tab to load quietly in the background without switching to it right away? There is a hidden for this parameter.

    (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 the tabs and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) double click on the preference browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground to put the default value false true - line should be "BOLD"

    • browser.tabs.loadInBackground = > when you open a regular link in a new tab using Ctrl + click (or right click > open in a new tab)

      • default = true, do not have the new active tab
      • In the page Options dialog box, this is controlled by him "when I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately" setting.

  • Problems installing update PS CS5 new Windows 7 laptop w / prior to PS. already installed

    Hello

    When I got my new Windows 7 laptop, I tried loading on PSCS5, but given that it was a record of update and previous versions weren't there, it has not loaded. I finished my work for a trial period of 30 days on a sabatical recently, I uninstalled it and all the PS files except the recorded images and have now gone through the following process to try to load it:

    (1) 6.0 PS to a CD and serial number that I have - no problem

    (2) expenses PS CS2 on a CD and the nuimber series - I own no problem

    (3) charge of PSCS5 from a Update CD also bought, and got an error saying something about CS4 have to be uninstalled before CS4 could be loaded correctly.

    Curious because A: I never loaded CS4 and B: did not. So I uninstalled all possibly troubling to Adobe Flash Player, even files of Patch, but no ASA or Adobe Download Helper. Some files Adobe leaves behind, I deleted and emptied the Recycle Bin and rebooted more several times different. To my knowledge, my CS5 has been used on another computer. I have to disable on the other? I find it on a 3rd computer, but if it was just uninstalled without disabling, would I need to re - install for the deactivation of this feature on the 3rd. I hope someone can help me to say how many computers have CS5 activation.

    Now, I tried to simply load the disc of CS2 and will the PSCS5 and failed, so I re-did steps 1-3 after serving as Lightroom3 and DreamWeaver CS3, think about something from them might have been the culprit (however they previously loaded flawlessly after a deactivation of the DW function on another computer). This time, that Support Adobe area came upwards and after searching for the system or something else, said "no problem found", and I have to contact Adobe Support. Address no FAQ this problem and an analysis of the forums was not helpful. So here I am.

    Any ideas? If it is the lack of a registry entry, it would be useful to know exactly that which and how precisely is it and patch in Windows 7 for those of us who aren't geeks. I'm guessing that this might be a recurring problem and it would be useful to have this code for the patch, if known.

    Otherwise, I'm stuck using CS2, everything OK, no CS5.

    All of my Adobe products were purchased originally bought and activated by me.

    Thanks for any help,

  • Where is the gear when I open a new tab in Firefox 42?

    I try to have faces of color illustrated when I open a new tab in Firefox 42. The instructions say click on the gear wheel at the top right of the page to the new tab in order to activate the function of tiles. It is not a gear when I open a new tab.

    What page is the new tab override set the new tab page?

    If you want to use the subject: newtab page with the tiles and the gear, you don't need this extension.
    The extension new tab replace is only necessary if you want a different home page, and such a page does not include this gear.

    See this article on the page tab (topic: newtab):

  • When I open a new tab, I'm on it to open it with Google Search.

    When I open a new tab, I'm on it to open it with Google Search. How can I change this?

    Hi, 41 of Firefox, you must use the add-on tab override (browser.newtab.url replacement), to make changes to the page tab.

    Once installed, open the Add-ons (Ctrl + Shift + A) Manager > Extensions, and then look for the new tab override and click Options to set your preference.

    Notice, if you want only the new tab to be the same as your home page, you can use the Add on new tab homepage instead.

    You will then need to restart Firefox for all changes to take effect.

    If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

  • When I opened a new tab, I'm always redirected to a page which I don't see, how do I fix

    About two days ago, I noticed that everytime I open a new tab in the browser opens a new page instead of a vacuum... im always redirected to the site https://sg.yahoo.com/...how can I fix?... This is the result of a malicious program?... Thanks in advance for helping me

    Hi, it could be malicious, but first try this: Type Subject: config in the address bar, press ENTER, accept the warning, scroll to browser.newtab.url and make sure that 'Value' is defined Subject: newtab (right click > change, change it if necessary, taking care to not to change what anyone else). You will then need to restart Firefox.

    As an alternative, you can use the add-on SearchReset.

    If the new tab gets changed back once again, it is possible that an add-on or theme is the cause, then try Mode without failure of Firefox 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.
