• New tab opens when I click on email link, this does not happen with IE or Chrome

  I use a specific website for the work. When I click on a hyperlink on the website that is supposed to generate an e-mail, it also generates a new tab for no reason. It is a waste of time. Happening on the same site in IE or Chrome.

  Those are extensions for Firefox. You can access the Firefox Add-ons page using one of the following methods:

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

  In the left column, click Extensions. On the right, enabled extensions are listed alphabetically, with the extensions disabled at the bottom.

  As a general criterion for the problems caused by any extension, the user may try the same pages/functions Mode without failure of Firefox. It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

  You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
  • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

  (Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still works)

  After stops in Firefox, a small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not update).

  If the problem disappears, usually that points to an extension as the culprit.

  Keep in mind that other aspects of Safe Mode may be more relevant to display glitches (hardware acceleration) or outages as extensions, but in this case, I would look at the extensions.

• 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.

• I can't make new tabs. When I click on the sign +, nothing happens.

  I've had this problem for a few weeks now. I was hoping maybe after updating to Windows 7 I find the use of tabs, but it didn't. When I try to open a new tab in Firefox, nothing happens. Even if I right click and click 'New tab', nothing happens. I tried to restart my computer, Windows Update, update Firefox, restart Firefox, re-installing of Firefox and nothing has worked. I have a suspicion that something is simply not compatible with Windows 7. Firefox still works fine on my other computers - a Vista, the other XP.

• How to associate a browser with a new tab. When I click on the new tab, it's a blank page. I would like to a browser to load automatically into a new table.

  When I open a new tab, there is a blank page. I would like to a browser to load into a new tab, instead of having to click a browser after I opened the tab.

  Firefox and IE are web browsers, where Google and Bing are the search engines.

  By default, Firefox has a blank page when you open a new tab, which can be changed with a few different extensions.

  Place it just to any web page or a page of search engine as you want to see in a new tab.

• New tab opens when I open firefox.

  It's really weird, everything was fine, but now firefox opens always the 2 tabs. http://i.imgur.com/G4q5fe3.PNG
  One is the homepage and other https://userstyles.org/firstrun.
  No, it does not work... No idea why this happens all was fine... Solution would be to uninstall that add on, but I really like it because it changes the new remote tab and there is no search bar.

  I assume that you have installed the Stylish extension... But you should get only a single notification.

  I think that elegant creates / updates this preference to avoid show you this welcome page again:

  extensions.stylish.firstRun = 3

  This normally would be stored by Firefox in the file prefs.js and other settings.

  Some users are having problems with this process: the file does not normally save, or he is replaced at the next startup. This article describes the items to check to see if this is the problem: How to fix preferences that will not save.

  If you use a software utility that protects you from unwanted parameters, such as Advanced SystemCare changing, it might roll back the file prefs.js to previous settings. You can disable this feature.
