Everytime I open a new tab, Firefox automatically refreshes the currently open ones.

When I attempt to open a new tab, Firefox automatically refreshes the already opened and loaded websites in other tabs.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • In the previous version of Firefox you would open a new tab by clicking on the small "Open New Tab" button at the Right Hand Side of the Tabs. This button has now disappeared in my upgrade.

    I just installed Firefox 4. In the previous version you would open a new tab by clicking on the small "Open New Tab" button at the Right Hand Side of the Tabs. This button has now disappeared in my upgrade. Firefox help still says you can open a new Tab by using the "Open New Tab" Button so how do I get it back??

    I got it back by going to "customize toolbar" and hitting "restore default set"! Now there is a small tab next to my open tabs with a "+" on it.

  • Is there any way to to have the "Home" icon open a new tab instead of replacing the current page with the home page?

    I would prefer that the "Home" icon on the Navigation Toolbar open a new tab instead of replacing the current tab with the home page. Is there any way to accomplish this?
    Thank you.

    If you middle-click on the home icon it will open a new tab containing the home page.

  • When I open a new tab, firefox automatically opens an undesired site. How do I turn this off?

    Sir,
    When, I open a new tab, an undesired web site is getting opened automatically. I wish to change this setting.
    I wish to open a blank page, when I open a new tab.
    Kindly help me.

    A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
    If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.

    You can middle-click or hold down Ctrl and left-click the Home button on the Navigation toolbar to open the Home page in a new tab.
    You can look at this extension to set which page to open in a new tab:
    *NewTabURL : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl/

  • I have all of the boxes checked under "Tabs" and am unable to open a new tab without it closing the current tab. My laptop allows multi tabs in its Firefox program with the same exact set up. What can I do to resolve this?

    This is everything I know about this problem.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> 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).

  • When I try to open a new tab using the "+" on the toolbar, nothing happens. Even trying to use the cntl t to open a new tab does not work. To open a new tab, I must right click on a hyperlink. how can I correct this? Using Firefox 3.6.18

    The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.
    There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
    * Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
    * Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

  • Tabs in Firefox 7 won't work...I can't open a new tab by clicking on the +.....only way to open a new tab is via the FILE/new tab option

    Tabs in Firefox 7 won't work...I can't open a new tab by clicking on the +.....only way to open a new tab is via the FILE/new tab option...it seems like a lot of the options/buttons are non-pressable??

    This issue can be caused by the Ask<i></i>.com toolbar (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)
    Your system details show that toolbar in the user agent as AskTbYLC/3.11.3.15590

  • I noticed when I restart Firefox 4, it opens my previous tabs even I set the option "Open a blank page" and it opens blank page when I have "Show my windows and tabs from last time". Please ignore my question if you're already aware of this issue. Thanks.

    Your previous tabs will not re-open or be available to re-open when starting Firefox if:
    *your previous session was in Private Browsing mode; see --> http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Private+Browsing
    *you use Clear Recent History (''Firefox button > History > Clear Recent History'' or ''Tools > Clear Recent History''); see --> https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Clear%20Recent%20History#w_how-do-i-clear-my-history

  • I have all tabs set to open with Google search, but when I open a new tab and start typing, the letters appear in the address bar and not the Google search bar. It didn't used to be like this!

    Firefox 9.01; Windows 7 64 bit;
    One of my set of home pages is the basic Google search page. When I open this, I can immediately start typing and the words appear in the Google search box.
    If however I open a new tab (white cross far right of tab bar) and start typing, the words appear in the address bar, not in the Google search box. Of course once I click in the search box I can carry on: but I'd like to make it start there as it does with the homepage.

    If you want a specific webpage (like the Google page) to always open when you open a New Tab, you can use the following add-on to Open New Tabs with your Favorite Pages:
    -> NewTabURL 2.2.3
    * https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
    * NewTabURL will not work until you set the page that you want to open in the Options for it.
    * click Add-ons > Extensions, click Options next to NewTabURL.
    Check and tell if its working.
    Not related to your problem but do the following:
    -> Update Firefox to the latest version 10
    * [[Installing Firefox on Windows]]
    -> Update All your Firefox Plugins -> https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/

    Never used it myself, so I'm not sure if you can set to about:home or not. You'll have to give it a try.

  • Just today, I cannot open a new tab - by clicking on the new tab button, or pressing CTRL+T. Help!

    I always use this feature and love it! I've gone thru the trouble-shooting guide, checked my plug-ins, cleared my cache and cookies, restarted my computer - and still no new tabs! The only way I can get a new tab is to click on HELP, FIREFOX HELP, and then use the new tab that opens.
    Is something wrong with Firefox?

    In past threads, this problem has been linked with the Ask toolbar.
