Clicking a Link opens old websites in Firefox 4.0 Help?!

Basically... say I click on a link while im on a flash-game or something similar and then the link opens in a new window, the link will open a new page in Firefox (which is fine...) but then will open my last visited page instead of opening the link that I've just clicked on to navigate to.
Any ideas how to solve this problem?
Thanks

Thanks for the responses guys. I reset Firefox and restarted my computer, and it seems to have fixed the issue.
Phillip, i'm not sure how to disconnect the keyboard, or if i even can on my laptop, however, it did not appear to be a stuck key, but as i was also experiencing the same issues with Chrome and Opera, it may have been the sensitive pad under the plastic key was somehow stuck.
Fred, thanks for that, i'll save it in case i ever experience this again. :)

I have stopped too many scripts in Firefox and I can't open any websites in Firefox anymore. I just get blank pages. What do I do now?

3 websites gave me this message:- "A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete." I chose to stop the script each time. However I have stopped too many scripts in Firefox and I can't open any website in Firefox anymore. I just get blank pages. What do I do now?

Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox and any leftover program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps one by one:
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu) and confirm all upcoming messages.
#Now, uninstall Firefox by following the steps mentioned in the [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer#w_uninstall-firefox|Uninstall Firefox]] article.
'''IMPORTANT:''' On Windows, the uninstaller has the option to remove your personal data and settings. Make sure that you do '''not''' check this option; otherwise all of your bookmarks, passwords, extensions, user customizations and other Firefox [[Profiles|user profile data]] will be removed from your computer.
After uninstalling Firefox on Windows, delete the "Mozilla Firefox" program folder, located by default in one of these locations:
* '''(On 32-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox''
* '''(On 64-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox''
#Go to the Windows Start menu and click on "Computer".
#In the Explorer window that opens, double click Local Disk (C:) to open the C:\ drive.
#Find the "Program Files (x86)" folder or "Program Files" folder.
#* On 32-bit Windows, double-click the '''Program Files''' folder to open it.
#* On 64-bit Windows, you will see a "Program Files (x86)" folder AND a "Program Files" folder. Open the '''Program Files (x86)''' folder.
#Look for a '''Mozilla Firefox''' folder. If you find one, right-click it and select ''Delete'' and confirm that you want to move the folder to the Recycle Bin.
Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
#Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
#Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!

Scroll bar missing on opening any website in firefox nightly 38.0a1

Vertical Scroll bar missing on opening any website in firefox nightly 38.0a1

On Mac the scroll bars can be hidden and only have them show when you scroll the page so you can see the current scroll position.
The idea is that a touch pad is used that doesn't require the scroll bars to be visible and thus have more screen estate for the browsing area.
You can make the scroll bars always visible:
System Preferences > General > Show Scroll Bar > Choose "Always"
You can try to delete the xulstore.json file in the Firefox profile folder.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

Could you post an example of the filter message?
This article has more information on the filters built in to Firefox: [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/phishing-protection/ Firefox Phishing and Malware Protection].
It's possible that you also have a Firefox add-on, or external software, that is filtering what you see. However, we don't have enough information to help identify it yet. If you want to review a list of your add-ons, you can find them under: Help > Troubleshooting Information.

Dude, I don't think there's a user on this forum that would click on that link.

When I click a link in a website, it loads in another tab, however i get 100's of new tabs that load with "untitled" and when i close firefox, it just opens by itself again and again

I was on my son's school website and I was looking to click the link to his teachers personal web-page. When I did, many, many "untitled" new tabs kept opening in the same screen. In fact it did not stop until I restarted my computer.
When I tried to close mozilla firefox page, it would then open up a new screen again doing the many, many "untitled" tabs. Every time I clicked the red X at the top of the screen, it would load a new page doing this.
It also did this on one other web page.
I am sure that there is just some info that needs to be entered for what to do when you click a link, however I have no clue how to change it.

For the list of teachers there are email addresses in the right hand column, did you click on an email address?
If you did that could explain the multiple tabs being opened. What may have happened is you have the mailto protocol set to open Firefox which results in 100s of tabs opening when you click on an email address. For details on fixing that see [[Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows]], in particular the section on "Change the action for a content type". My guess is you will find mailto is set to "Use Firefox".

Every time I click on a link, an OLD version of Firefox keeps opening, I don't know how to eliminate the old version (I don't see it in the applications folder). This hasn't happened with any other upgrades to Firefox. Can you help?

This happens when I get an email with a link attached. Also, every single time I open up the NEW version, it defaults to the "welcome to Firefox 4" page. Is there a way to make it stop doing that too? Did I just download the new version too soon, before the bugs were worked out?

Version 3.6.16 is opening....as it did when I clicked the link in your email message to me about this situation. The upgraded version (Firefox4) sits in my dock and the old version opens when I click on a link.

I just updated to Firefox 3.6.12 and now every time I click anything online a new tab opens. How do I return to normal (clicking a link opens it in current page and tab)?

I'm used to clicking a link on a news story or any searched link on google and having my current page go there. Now my current page stays the same and any link I click opens in a new tab. This is very annoying. I just want my browser to go there.

Google Toolbar Options, in the Search tab, make sure that '''Enable the Google new tab page''' is check-marked. If that doesn't fix it for you, see this for support information about the Google Toolbar.

As far as your UserAgent showing Firefox 3.0.11, see this:

You might want to consider getting rid of that '''desktopsmiley''' program that has messed up your UserAgent, it is known as Malware.

Firefox is OPEN and working fine, but when I click a link in Thunderbird I get 'Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.'

If I click a link on my desktop or in any other program (while Firefox is open and running), I get this message: "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." There's about a billion links for this if you Google it, but they all say that Firefox wasn't shut down properly. (OK, maybe not ALL of them, but if the needle is in that haystack, I haven't yet found it.) That's not the issue in my case since I haven't shut FF down at all.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

This began to happen to me when I tried to run two separate profiles simultaneously on the same installation of firefox with -no-remote

Cannot click on bubble links for at least two different sites pogo and my msn. I have also had prblems clicking on links within a website I have to right click and then click open in new tab.

pogo no longer loads games at all. I can't even right click top open in new tab. I have also found that I can not use search bar after going to a site i have to actually click home button and let it reload before I can use search button. i have uninstalled and reinstalled firfox already.

You can middle-click a link to open the link in a new tab.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Never had an issue now i do, can go to a webpage but click a link within that website and it will not open

Not sure what happened. I used to be able to go to a site and then click a link within that site and it would open. Now it won't, I added it to pop-page and still nothing
so i am in blogger and try to "add a gndget" and the link will not open
i was in myprofitbuilder.com and tried to open a banner code and won't open
I had to go to my other computer to use Internet Explorer
Thanks

Whenever I click a link in one web site, Firefox blocks the clicked site from opening.

In the new tab, I get a message from Firefox, much like the Pop-up blocker that says "Firefox has prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page." I have to click "Allow" to get the site to load. This has just started happening in the past couple of weeks, and to my knowledge, I have not changed any of my Firefox settings.
This always happens if I click a link in Gmail, even when I know I am going to a trusted site. It also happens if I click a link from one site to another, including trusted banking sites, Amazon.com, and the like.

Clicking a link opens a smaller window, not a maximized window, how can I fix this?

When I click links that open in a new window, that new window is not maximized, like the browser window that I used to click the link. How can I fix this?
I prefer using new windows instead of new tabs, and I have been doing this forever. I had turned OFF the automatic updates for Firefox, but this newest update was installed anyway. If there is no setting to open all new links in windows the same size as the main window, is there an option to revert this update?

Hi Mumps,
There is a feature in Firefox that forces window.open() to open in a new window.
browser. block. target_new_window
Reference (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_:_FAQs_:_About:config_Entries)
Same window size should be default. It should open the window of the same size. Try to reset firefox if this is not happening. (about:support page > Reset)
