Why Firefox guard open a new window a lot when you click on a tab to open it.

Firefox guard open a new window every time when I click on a tab to open it. Happens quite a few times per day now and it's annoying.

Versions of Firefox 3.5 and later have a feature called tabs.

You can detach a tab in the current window and open in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window.

You can drag the tab to the tab bar in the original window to cancel this detachment.

bug489729 (Disable detach and tear off tab):

Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).

    When you click on a tab open, how to do the update automatically in the body of the page?

    Right clicking on a tab open and using the arrow keys now now moves through open tabs. I liked the old versions where just after having clicked on a tab you can directly go to the page with the arrow keys to navigate.
    Y at - it something that I can change the subject: config to change this behavior?
    Thanks in advance.

    Firefox has yet to set the focus in the area of browser if you click on a tab.

    Only with very old browser versions you could set the focus to a tab by clicking a tab.

    This problem is probably caused by an extension.

    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 (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

  • Navigation of Firefox 13.0.1 bar changes the height when you click tabs

    Only happened today, no changes made to the system.
    When I click on a tab, the height of the Navigation toolbar icons icon decreases to a square for half a second and then returns to the height the deeper (rectangle). What makes the page below the menu jump bar. Rather distracting.
    Hide the Navigation toolbar obviously solves the problem, but is not practical for obvious reasons.
    The people of ideas; someone at - he heard of this before?
    Thanks in advance,
    Mike.

    If you close Firefox, and then start Firefox in Mode without failure, in the problem? To start Safe Mode, go to help > restart with disabled modules.

    If the problem does not occur in Mode safe, then you can disable your extensions one by one until you find out that one is at the origin of the problem. See Troubleshooting extensions and themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems.

  • Why the flat firefox image on the start with WASD page when you click it?

    When you select at home, the normal firefox icon flashes on and is replaced by an image tilted slightly with another small character to the left of the head of Fox and the words click me! If you click on it, the same image now has the letters WASD and a key appears in the centre of the world where the Fox is wrapped around. I didn't know this until the update to the latest verson 33.

  • It is so RADIANT user! I used to have Firefox until I upgraded to Windows 7, and when I clicked on the icon, it took me directly to my Yahoo site. Why he does not now?

    Until I upgraded to Windowsw 7, Firefox used to take me directly to my Yahoo site. Why he does not now? I used to really love Firefox, but I'm completely frustrated just trying to get the answer to this question. Maybe I should just ask, "How do we uninstall it? But I would like to be able to use Firefox like I did before. Thank you

    Hi peggkel,

    You say that you just want to change your homepage to Yahoo? Do not worry, it is quite easy! You should take a look at the Knowledge Base How to set the home pagearticle.

    If this does not work, you should look at article unsaved Preferences.

    Hope this helps!

  • Why Firefox sometimes opens a new window when I browse to an existing tab?

    I often have 7 or 8 tabs open in Firefox. Sometimes, when I click on a tab, Firefox opens in a new window instead of going to this tab. I did not understand a boss when it does.

    A will (usually at lower) very light movement causes the tab to "tear" / "snatch" in a new window. You can drag the tab to the window of the new window origin.

    You can install this add-on to stop the behavior "tear off" / "tear off":

  • 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.

  • Why the function "move to new window" that I used to use does not work when I right click on the tab more?

    It was when I right click on the tab in Firefox I could use the option 'Move to the new window'. Now when I go down to this option, it seems it will work, but nothing happens. The other day I changed some options in Firefox, but I don't remember changing anything that sounded as if it would have this effect, and now I can't find all the options that seem to fix. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hello Beorn, probably the problem is an extension that is not working properly. Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • You can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

    Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. It might help others who have the same problem.

    Thank you

  • How can I make a specific page open in a new window when you click on a menu?

    Don't know if its possible, but I have a specific page, I want to open in a new window in the browser when you click on to leave a menu widget.  I know not how to go and mount the coding, but it would be nice if there is an option in Muse for this already.  Any suggestions? Thanks for any help.

    ryanj4799 You'll need to change the Menu Type of manual in the options of the widget and add you links. Then go in the hyperlinks Panel. Check the option open in a new tab/window.

  • Cannot open in a page Web, on the page of the Bank opens a new tab and indicates that the site has moved here, but when you click on the button here it still does nothing

    When I go to internet banking as a clydesdale, it opens a new page to connect, but a few days ago it stopped working with the new update. Now when I click on connect, it says "FOUND the document pushed here." and clicking here opens another page of connection, but after being entered the details the page doesn't load. the same thing happens on other sites, on the other, when I click to read the messages page does nothing, and if I click to open in a new tab the same page is displayed instead.

    Theres been other people having this problem too...

    Yes, for example, that this person- https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1078226 -, but they did not post cost around if any suggestion made a difference, I appreciate your following upward.

    Here are two other things to check:

    (1) connection settings - have they been customized?

    "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > advanced

    Click the mini network, and then click the settings button

    The default value of 'Use system proxy settings' should follow your 'LAN' setting, as well as IE, but you can also try 'No proxy' to see if that makes a difference.

    (2) extensions - test Firefox to turn off Safe Mode

    Firefox Safe mode is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

    Does not work if Firefox: Hold down the SHIFT key when you start Firefox.

    If Firefox is running: 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

    and OK reboot.

    Two scenarios: A small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not update).

    Any improvement?

    When I click on the tab with a + on it, located next to the current tab, a new page does not open. If I click on 'New tab' in the file menu, a new tab does not open.

    Thanks for posting the details of your system. I'm skeptical about the "CompTool0234 Community Toolbar". Could you disable some add-ons and see if that helps.

    On this tab:

    Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > addons > Plugins category

    Disable «Conduit Plugin»

    On this tab:

    Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > addons > Extensions category

    Disable the CompTool0234 community toolbar.

    Then very probably a link will appear to restart Firefox to make the change. Does make a difference?

  • There is a problem when I click on the tab '+' to 'open a new tab' nothing happens. It allows to open new tabs, and now it does nothing.

    There is a problem when I click on the tab '+' to 'open a new tab' nothing happens. It allows to open new tabs, and now it does nothing. Even when I go to 'File' and 'New tab' it still does nothing. The only time wherever I can get a new tab to open is if I go to 'Help' and click "Firefox Help" then opens a new tab with firefox help.

    Please disable or uninstall the extension "Ask Toolbar". He has a known compatibility issue with the latest update of Firefox.

  • In Windows Explorer. A dated file say 12/02/2000. When you click the folder, the files in the folder bear different date. Why is it so.

    ORIGINAL TITLE: I use Windows xp.

    I use Windows xp. In Windows Explorer. A dated file say 12/02/2000. When you click the folder, the files in the folder bear different date. Why is it so. To update the files, we should see the dates of the files instead of the dates of the folder. right? Why is there such a difference?

    My copy of Windows XP works the same as yours.  Apparently the date folder is not updated when the content is, that fact make some sense as the folder itself is not updated when new content is created in the it.
