How to keep all visited sites from opening a new tab

No matter what I do, everything I click opens in a new tab., even if I am already on a tab I want it to replace. I can't find the setting to change this. I'd like to be able to do a CTRL--click if I want a new tab. It's annoying ending up with 30 tabs open when I'm browsing.
I have a couple of tab add-ons, Multiple tab handler and Bar Tab LiteX. Could these be causing this problem?

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • Is there some way to keep Safari from opening a new tab when clicking on a link?

    When one clicks on a link on a page in Safari a new tab is opened. This is fine if the link is to a different site. However, it is annoying when navigating through the pages of a single site such as is required, for example, in on-line banking. Firefox seems to be smarter in this regard, opening a tew tab in the former case but not in the latter. Is there some way to keep Safari from opening a new tab each time?

    Safari Preferences > Tabs (in Safari 7)
    There is an option there for specifying how new pages open

    When I choose to open a new tab from a website, such as facebook, it always opens it in a new window. How do I change this to just opening a new tab. I tried changing the tab settings but it did not work. I did not have the problem until I started using firefox 4.

    It is probably a JavaScript link.
    You can probably force it where you want it with a keyboard shortcut
    either "Ctrl+click" or "Ctrl+Shift+click". see
    * Firefox and other Browser Keyboard Shortcuts (Comparison Table)<br>http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/keyboard.htm
    ''Did that work?''
    Some styles that provide a warning as to the type of link:
    * No Follow links, mouseover id of other links - userstyles.org<br>http://userstyles.org/styles/10987

  • Is there a way to 'Force all Links to be opened in New Tabs ' like Maxthon browser?

    Is there a way to get Firefox to 'Force all Links to be opened in New Tabs, like Maxthon browser does ? I really like this Maxthon feature but hate Maxthon as it has always has and continues to lock up all the time (what a pain!!)
    Hoping Firefox can do this. By the way I know if you right click a link and ask for it to open in a new tab it will. I want it to be automatic.
    Thank you

  • How can I stop Firefox from opening a new Tab as Babylon Search?

    So I recently downloaded Babylon (for an offer), and Babylon search started to open when I open a new Tab. I've uninstalled the Babylon program and the Search Add-On, but it still keeps on opening. is there any possible way that I can fix this? I want to open my new Tab as a blank page.

    Hello, i'll teach you how:
    # First, at the web address, go to about:config
    # When a warning shows up, just hit "I'll be careful, I promise!"
    # Then at the search bar, just type this - browser.newtab.url
    # Just right click on the result, and hit "Reset"
    View the picture I've attached for reference.
    That's it!

  • I can't get rid of "bing" from opening in new tabs. How can I get a blank page to open as in the past?

    Up until yesterday, I could open a new tab with a blank page. Now, every new tab opens to a bing search page and focus is in the search box. Very annoying when I begin to type a URL and have to click in the URL to continue typing. How do I get back to a blank page opening?

    Thanks. You did have to go through another step-"Extensions", to find the Icon for the StartNow Toolbar with Bing involved.
    Yep tried it and it got rid of Bing!! Happy Happy

  • How do I stop Firefox from opening a new tab when I click a link or navigation button (such as "home") instead of redirecting using the currently open tab?

    Any time I click on a link within a page, such as the "home" link in Facebook, or the various links on the Mozilla page that I needed to follow to get to this screen, Firefox opens a new tab instead of redirecting using the tab I'm on. Also, Firefox doesn't go to the new tab, it just opens it. So if I want to actually go to the page I've just clicked on, I have to then also find and click on the new tab that just opened.

    Hello,
    In safe mode link still open in new tabs?
    *[http://mzl.la/MwuO4X Firefox in safe mode]
    Go to '''about:config''' and search for:
    *'''browser.tabs.loadInBackground''' change its value to '''false'''.
    If in safe mode the links still open in new tabs try go to '''about:config''' and search for:
    *'''browser.link.open_newwindow''' change its value to '''3'''.

  • How do I stop links from opening in new tabs

    Any link I click on opens a new tab. I want them to open in the same tab

    Hello,
    You need to check your mouse or mouse settings because if you click on a link with middle mouse it would open a new tab, if you checked your hardware and settings but the problem still the same, go to:
    '''Tools '''>''' Options '''> '''Tabs''' > Open links that open in a new window and change the option to new window.
    If you have the Tab Mix Plus addon installed then '''Tools''' > '''Tab Mix Plus options''' >''' Links'''.
    Sincerly,

  • Safari resets current site to Top site when opening the new tab.

    Hi there,
    I have MacBook 10.5.8 installed. I got problem with Safari as when i'm opening new tab then new tab opens but current tab (visited site) gets reset to Top site.
    Example:
                        I launched Safari & browsed www.google.com.
                        Then i pressed key combination of Command + T to open the new tab to browse www.apple.com.
                        Just after pressing this key combination new tab opened but previous site google.com page disappeared & changed to Top Sites.
                        Safari version:     5.0.6
    I tried resetting then reinstalling & it worked properly but temporarily. I couldn't fix it permanently.
    Any help in the same would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    * Hold Command and left-click or middle-click the Reload button on the location/address bar to open the current page in a new tab.
    * Hold Command and left-click or middle-click items in the tab history of the Back and Forward buttons to open a page from that list in a new tab<br>You can hold down the left mouse button on the Back or Forward button to open the tab history.
    * Duplicate a tab with its history by pressing the Option key and dragging the tab to a new position on the tab bar.
    * Dragging a tab in the browser window will detach the tab and move it to a new window, this is called tab tearing.
    * Drag a tab back to the tab bar in the original or anther window to undo a detach or move a tab to a specific window. If a window gets empty (you tear off the last tab) then that window will be closed automatically.

  • Sites defeat open in new tab

    Some sites are defeating [Ctrl]-click to open in New Tab (my Firefox setting). In these sites [Ctrl]-click causes the original page to open.
    I have to use the [Right-Click] Context Menu, [Open Link in New Tab] option.
    Here's an example site: http://www.pbs.org/newshour/videos/
    [Ctrl]-Clicking on any of the individual articles below the main video just reopens the same page, using Context Menu works.
    Any way to fix this behavior? To have ALL sites comply with my Firefox tabs setting?

    Each site that does this does it a bit differently, but the bottom line is that a script intercepts a regular click, Ctrl+Click and Shift+click and replaces them with a new behavior (in this case, adding the video number into the address of the page). As you discovered, you can bypass this script using the right-click context menu. Another method is to "middle-click" using the mouse scroll wheel (if it's a mouse with a scroll wheel).
    I'm sure there's a crafty way to strip the scripts off of the videos, but I haven't tried to program one.

  • How do I re-order popup-menu (open in new tab to the top)

    Popup-menu is reordered to have share-option at the top in the new version of android browser.

    Currently in the customize options of Firefox for Android, this is not a feature. I would recommend requesting the feature in a bug.

  • How can I add a button that opens a new tab?

    How can I quickly open a new (blank) tab without going to File --> Open New Tab. There has to be a button I can add or a box that isn't checked somewhere. I used to be able to click in the blank space in the row of tabs to open a new tab, but with this latest Firefox update, if I click in the blank space now, it just "restores" my browser window.
    To explain further - I know I can middle-click a link to open it in a new window, but if I'm on one page reading an article, and I want to open a new tab to look up a word or map or whatever, I need a faster way to open a new blank tab.

    You are right - there should be and there is on my windows 7 machine but not on my windows 8.1 machine. Firefox add-ins are identical. So how do I get the new tab button back?
