When I open a link in a new tab, firefox switches to the new tab

When I open a link and instruct to open in a new tab , it switches me to that tab !
I have under tools>options>tabs>
unchecked "switch to new tab immediately"
And it still switches to the new tab, this is frustrating...

I fixed it by disabling the Divx add-ons in Firefox. Hope that helps you

  • When I open about this mac - more info and I switch through the tabs (display,memory,storage,support,service) it lags (fps drops, animation looks choppy not smooth). Why does this happen? (over 300 gb free,same programs installed,free desk-downloads)

    When I open about this mac -> more info and I switch through the tabs (display,memory,storage,support,service) it lags (fps drops, animation looks choppy not smooth) even though all the mac (programs , interface ) works smooth . Why does this happen? (over 300 gb free,same programs installed,free desktop-downloads -no garbage there- everything neat and tidy.) Need some help. Only there it the animations goes like 2 fps and is not smooth. I do not understand why because the programs are the same so its the usage. Nothing is changed, yet i experience this little issue for a couple of days.

    OK, I'm confused. When I do About this Mac > More Info in OS10.9, I don't see any animation other than the window resizing. Is that the animation you are describing?

  • Opening multiple bookmarks in new tabs without switching to the new tabs and keeping the bookmark list open

    With the bookmark list open I like to open a number of them at a time, the be problem is that each time I click on a bookmark it opens and switches to a new tab. I like to open around 5 tabs from the bookmark list, with FF I have to open the bookmark sekect the bookmark menu again open another and so on. It would be nice to be able to open the bookmarks straight from the list. That way the first one is loading while i open the others.

    1. The Sidebar view of bookmarks will stay open until you decide to close it. <br />
    '''{Ctrl + B}'''
    2. Tools > Options > Tabs = un-check - '''When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately''' <br />
    If you have a tab-related extension installed, it may have "taken over" that preference or modified it.
    3. You can Middle-click a bookmark in the Sidebar to have it open in a new Tab; if you Middle-click a '''folder of bookmarks''', all those bookmarks will open in new Tabs (you get a warning at ten tabs).

  • Opening pages in new tabs is slow and switches to the new tab and back. How can I stop this?

    I work with a lot of tabs and most of the time, I need pages in new tabs to open fast. Recently, whenever I open a page in a new tab, Firefox goes to the new tab for a second, then back to the tab I was on previously, although I have it set to not automatically go to new tabs. This is slowing me down and I'd really like it to stop. I've even tried just having one tab open.

    When I open a link for another website Firefox opens a new tab but puts a line on the top of the new page saying that Firefox has blocked the website from transferring me to another page.
    I have to press ALLOW before Firefox will open the new page.
    How can I solve this problem.
    Many thanks in advance.

  • New tabs are not updating the names of the sites they have loaded. When I open a new tab and load a site, the tab simply stays named "New Tab". When I open a link in a new window, it shows "Connecting..." even while its fully loaded.

  • When I open a link a new window opens with the toolbar and sidebar missing, on my previous machine the link simply opened in a new tab (not window).

    When I open a link in Firefox instead of opening a new tab it opens in a new window with all of the toolbars missing including the sidebar, right clicking anywhere gives me no options to restore the toolbars. My old machine simply opened the same link that I am trying in a new tab with all my toolbars available.

  • "When I open a link in a new tab, switch.." Doesnt work correctly

    I'm using Firefox 28.0 (Waterfox build)
    I've verified that:
    - browser.tabs.loadInBackground: False
    - browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground: True
    - "When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately" is enabled in the UI.
    It seems only some websites actually switch to the new tab. Also, sometimes, this feature will stop working all together; requiring me to toggle the Firefox UI setting and/or restart firefox.

  • Sometimes when I open a link in a new tab and then switch to the tab, the address bar clears and the website won't open.

    Sometimes when I open a link in a new tab and then switch to the tab, the address bar clears and I'll have to re open the tab and hope that doesn't happen again. Sometimes this happens again and again. Most of the times if I just open the link in a new tab and don't switch to it, this won't happen. But as I switch too the tab, the text would disappear and the link wouldn't open.

  • When I open a link it switches me to that tab even though under tools options tabs I unchecked "switch to new tab immediately"

    When I open a link it switches me to that tab even though under tools>options>tabs> I unchecked "switch to new tab immediately". I tried opening Firefox in Safe mode and it still switches to the new tab.

  • When I open a link and instruct to open in a new tab , it switches me to that tab

    I have under tools>options>tabs> unchecked "switch to new tab immediately" And it still switches to the new tab. I've searched for solutions and it's not the plug-ins or extensions, which I've disabled manually or started in safe mode.
    It had worked briefly for a couple of days (unchecking the switch-to box), then it stopped working. I'm running OS 10.6.7 and I've tried repairing permissions. Any ideas?
