Why a tab and a new window opens when you click a link

When you click on a link in a new window AND new tab open. They stack above the other on the desktop slow down the computer. We run OS X EL CAPITAN.

With the recent "update" I'm having this problem too. Navigation became a royal PITA. 27 windows open at the same time? It looks like nobody tested before FORCING the update that does not need to be updated.

  • Yahoo mail in FF is slow to load (if it does at all) and emails won't open when you click on it. I don't have this problem in Chrome or IE

    When I click on Yahoo in FF, the page is slow to load. When this happens, email is still slower to load. When it does not load and I click on an e-mail message, the message does not open. Any suggestions? If I delete FF and reinstall it, I'll lose all the information in FF (e.g. bookmarks or preferences)? Thanks in advance for your help.

    BFirst SALVATION,
    Just in case, back up and restore the information contained in the profiles of Firefox, but before that, you can clear the cache for a specific site in the subject: permissions page.

    Select Yahoo mail on this page and forget about the site. This will remove cookies and active connections for mail. Please, restart Firefox and reconnection to Yahoo mail.

    If there are other issues, happy to help you.

  • Update Firefox 27 loses my tabs in history, remembers the favicons but displays 'new tab' and displays a blank page when you click on. In addition, skin tightening

    It's getting really boring I've barely recovered since the different and boring bugs in V26. I have disabled the automatic update as I'm hacked off the coast on ff not start correctly and crashing can quit smoking after every single update.

    Such a bug which appeared around V26 was that a website (http://www.thecourier.co.uk/) blocking firefox. Just this site and just on my Mac and only on firefox. I can't reproduce the error on WinXP, Ubuntu or the computer of someone I know with the same version. the site blocks firefox without active plugins or addons, and this is what made me install NoScript first - that is, to block a JQuery? a script that was the cause of the crash.

    V27 bugs:
    Update Firefox 27 is to lose my tabs in the history after a restart, he remembers the favicons but displays 'new tab' in each and shows a blank page if clicked, thus freeing the favicon and history etc. There is nothing in the windows recently closed, etc..

    also, when of each restart my skin (Cotton Candy Swirl) is not displayed correctly: the title bar appears in gray Apple Mac and the lower bar shows pink massif.

    When Firefox I: > > quitting smoking, it crashes (as can be shown in the details of the Mac error report). This forces me to open the Task Manager and the strength to quit smoking.

    lose my history tabs after a reboot.

    > What are the preferences of the history in your options menu?

    'new tab' in each and shows blank page if clicked, thus freeing the favicon and history etc. There is nothing in recently closed windows etc.

    -> by default, the tabs do not load until they are clicked on, this can be changed in the menu options on the tab.
    -> in the recently closed window menu there are the features that should be lit to make it work:
    Go to about: config and check these settings
    type: sessionstore and right-click-> reset everything is bold, especially the browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo and the browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo.

    If it repeats, try Safe Mode to ensure that it is not a plug-in that affect this and issues to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode

    For the swirl of cotton candy, please disable this or reinstall to ensure that it is up-to-date.

  • It appears two times after the opening of Firefox ' [JavaScript error: 'dir is zero' {file: "file:///C:/Users/... and a new window opens each time."}] Opening of the modules in the Tools menu crashes Firefox.

    Whenever I open Firefox, or when a website automatically opens a new window (NOT when I open a new tab or window) error message is displayed twice: ' [JavaScript error: "dir is zero" {file: 'file:///C:/Users/Steve/AppData/Roaming/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/k8nfi7qa.default/extensions/%7B0538E3E3-7E9B-4d49-8831-A227C80A7AD3%7D/components/nsForecastfox.js' line: 323}] "when calling method: [ffIDiskService::get]"
    Then, after closing the window of mistake twice, an AnyColor start/welcome screen appears in a second, open tab, which I then close to resume with the first tab (active). If I try to open the modules in the menu Tools, Firefox crashes and a script error message. It then becomes "unresponsive" and I have to force - close Firefox and reopen.

    This looks like a problem with an add-on, especially the Forecastfox extension. To test this try to disable the add-on in safe mode, for details on how to see the extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common troubleshooting Firefox problems.

    What is the bug 3.2 on the selector app shows off the screen?

    When you click on a file to open it, and there is no default program to open it with, a list of possible programs are provided to allow you to choose which program to use.

    I have 3.2 there is a bug. The list is posted outside the Visual area of the screen. The rest of the screen is blurry and slightly grey.

    The solution is to activate the auto-rotation and change beween landscape/portrait. The list of possible programs then appears and you can select how to open the file.

  • Web links open in a new tab or a new window, how to make the web link open in my current tab?

    I could find ways to do the reverse of this and make the links to open in new tabs, but none that answered this question

    It is difficult because the links in a page can work in several ways:

    • no attribute "target" - open in the same tab
    • the value of attribute 'target ':

      • "_blank" - open in a new tab
      • 'name1' (used before and currently open)-replace the page on the tab 'name1 '.
      • 'name2' (not used before or already closed) - open in a new tab
    • script attached to the link to override her normal behavior - a variety of outcomes are possible, including a whole new window

  • New window opening when the problem of double click even if I haven't changed in folder option but it not worked

    Dear sir\madam

    I am using the windows 7 every time I am double clicking in the drive and the folder open in the new window only. I even changed this option in the FOLDER AND SEARCH option, but it is futile his does not work. Friends by saying: it is a virus. Please help me solve this problem.

    Thanks and greetings

    AURÉLIE

    I am not sure, I've not had the problem myself, but a quick search found this - http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-files/folders-open-in-new-window-despite-folder-option/5fba3897-7655-4068-8992-2d8b20063b3f

    Good reading and see if you think it's the same problem. If so and the choice of folder option certainly does not work for you, there are a few things to try to make up a batch file and it works from a simple sfc/scannow (I have not tried but it is marked as answer).

    It will be useful.

    If you suspect a virus, update your anti-virus software and run a full scan, then download, install, update and run a scan complete with (free) malwarebytes. Just run as free on demand, no need to check for any trial etc.

  • to stop multiple spam windows open when I click on a link

    All of a sudden when I click on a link all kinds of spam windows open. I have 'Pop-up' windows defined on off... but, they always open... also suddenly online pages will have tons of highlighted words hough, they are links... and when I click on them, thinking that it is a link that's another annoying pop-up window. I checked my "plug-ins" and "add ons" and there is nothing I can find. I use Windows 7 and this problem just started this week. I performed a McAfee scan and found no virus... can help you?

    These files are not supposed to be deleted. Quite possibly user.js (thanks for the heads-up jscher2000 on hidden file extensions. A movement bonehead by Microsoft) had a content in it that made all these pop-up windows. The user.js file is not there by default unless you did so it is safe to delete it.

    When I click on a link from Apple Mail, an (empty) additional window opens. The problem seems to be related with Adblock Plus, because it happens when Adblock Plus is removed. Problem, all started yesterday (7/29).

    This only happens with AdBlock? Very strange. AdBlock to block pop-ups.
    Is there anything in the address of this window box?
