Win 7, new tabs open for downloading programs I dont want, how do I stop this

New computer using Win 7, downloaded Mozilla, many times when moving the mouse on a new page and clicking login or some where on the page, a new tab will open, most of the new tabs will be soft ware sites saying I need to down load a program, such as Java HD, examples: Akamidhd.net, Findsectiokn.net, ect. How do I stop that?
Thanks

  • Opening a new tab opens my history on the left. How do I stop this from happening?

    when opening a new tab in safari, it automatically opens my history in a column on the left. How do I stop this from happening?

    IF you change the view of the left column to "Bookmarks" or "Favorites" this is what will be shown rather than "History".
    There is no way to prevent this column from being shown but it can be dismissed by touching the "Book" icon at the top-left of the screen.

  • Some webpages resize the window but when the window opens in a new tab, the entire firefox browser is resized. How do I stop this from happening?

    This usually happens when the window is resized in order to fit the smaller content/intention for a webpage.
    I would like Firefox to ignore the window resizing (down sizing) commands when opening a window in a new tab and just display the window in full size.

    Go into ''Tools > Options > Content'' and next to where it says ''Enable JavaScript'', click ''Advanced...''' and then untick ''Move or resize existing windows''.
    This is the only way to do it. I believe there is a bug filed to prevent all sites (by default) from resizing the window if there are more tabs open, but I don't think it has been fixed.

  • The new tab page is showing Gmail inbox pages, meaning anyone can start a new tab and get access to my email. How do I stop this?

    When I open a new tab, within the pages brought up is my gmail inbox. This mean anyone can have access to my inbox without logging in, without my password. How do I restrict this access?

    If you log out of Gmail, then clicking the thumbnail should take you to a login page. If you don't log out, then anyone can access your email just by typing gmail.com in the URL bar. But you're right that the picture does create a temptation to click...
    You can set the new tab page back to blank if you prefer. However, please note that the page thumbnails are stored in the browser cache, so you also need to clear your cache to flush out existing thumbnails if you don't want anyone to be able to see them.

    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

  • I have a new MacBook Pro. I am using firefox, but my homepage is set to google. Firefox constantly keeps opening new tabs to its own homepage by itself. How can I disable this feature?

    I have a new MacBook Pro. I am using firefox version 7.0.1, but my homepage is set to google. Firefox constantly keeps opening new tabs to its own homepage by itself. How can I disable this feature.

    Hi [email protected]
    If you have set Google to be your homepage, that should be the first one to appear. Are you seeing the Firefox home page when you open new tabs? New tabs should be blank by default. The only reason I've seen Firefox open new tabs with Firefox data on it is after an upgrade of the product.

  • When I open a new tab, it shows a Yahoo Search page. How do I change this?

    open a new tab, it shows a Yahoo Search page. How do I change this?

    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.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    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.

    Reader for Mac 10.8.5. Downloading message is in chinese How do I stop this? Am I a victim of an Safari or Adobe vulnerability?

    Don't know about downloading message. There seems to be a strange error in something which gives you a message in Japanese when trying to view a PDF from Safari.
    The message means "To view this file, first launch (open, start) Adobe Reader (the app, from Applications) and accept the license agreement, then quit".

  • When i want to return to my home page I click on the home icon and it resets the page to my home page but also open a blak tab which i don't want how can I stop this as i have too many tabs open.

    When I want to return to my home page after looking at a website I click on the home icon and it resets the page to my home page but also open a blak tab which i don't want.How can I stop this as I have too many tabs open and have to close all of them.

    You may have an unwanted extension that is modifying sites (or the toolbar area). Try this:
    Disable ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
    Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Does that flush the tab?
    Please report back on anything suspicious you find so others can learn about its bad behavior.

    The router is in your house.
    In a nutshell, a modem communicates with the Internet and brings a single communications link to your house,  The router takes that single link and divides it up among many links, both wired and wireless, to support many devices in your house.  The router and the modem may be separate physical boxes or, more commonly, they're in the same enclosure.
    Unfortunately, if there is a firewall in the router, you will need help.  I don't think that it's a good idea to try to walk you through it via the forum.  You should contact the router supplier and have them walk you through the investigation.

    If my network connection goes out briefly due to a problem at my ISP, FireFox immediately opens a "diagnose network problems" page. This is particularly annoying when I don't even have FireFox or any other software open. Ideally, I do NOT want FireFox to even check if my Network is connected. How can I stop this?
