How do I get Firefox to stop opening a new tab every time I hit "print preview" of an email?

The tab and various favorite sites open right on top of the print screen window, blocking the print screen window so that I have to x out the tab to print my email.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

When I click the home button, it takes me to my home page AND opens a blank tab. How can I get it to stop opening the new tab!

I have igoogle as my hompage. When I click the home button, it will open my igoogle page but also open up a blank tab as well. Firefox didn't always do this, it just started. Maybe when I upgraded to the 5.0. I've tried looking in the options and I can't find something there and there doesn't seem to be a solution on the web. How do I get it to stop doing that?

For searches from the Search Bar, when you use the Enter key.
Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. 
''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
Pref = '''browser.search.openintab''' = double-click to toggle to '''true'''

Is it possible to configure Firefox for Android so it doesn;t open a new tab every time a new url is sent to the browser?

We are using a web based service to register people's mood when they touch an NFC card against the tablet. Every time someone taps their card against it, it open up a new tab, and they then register the mood they are in.
We recently got to a situation where we had 150 tabs open which gives us concerns that at some point the tablet could just slow to a crawl or fall over.
The tablet is unmanned and so closing the tabs after every entry manually is not an option either.
Ideally we would like the browser not to open a new tab every time. Is this possible?
Thanks a lot

You should ask this on https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/mobile-firefox-dev instead of a end user forum. It may require building a custom APK of Firefox.

Firefox is coded to open new tabs in a blank page. That may change in Firefox 4. I don't know.
In the meantime, there is an add-on called Tab Mix Plus that I think provides that option. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1122/

How do I get Firefox to stop opening "Welcome to Firefox" EVERY time I open the browerser. It opens both "Wecome.." and my home page.

Every time I updated Firefox to something higher than 3.xxx, each time I open the browser, "Welcome to Firefox" and my home page opens up. How do I get "Welcome to Firefox" to stop opening? Also...all the colors are missing on the menu bar. All the text is white............Bill

Hi wbricki,
You should look at [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox this article about that specific issue] and the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved]. These should give you all the information you need!
If that doesn't work:
# Type about:config in the address bar
# Click ''I'll be careful, I promise'' if prompted
# In the Filter input field type ''startup''
# Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
# Delete the text string and click ''OK''
# Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.
Hopefully this helps!

How do I tell photoshop to stop opening the same document every time I start Photoshop CS6?

Hi all,
Each and every time I start up Photoshop CS6 (running the latest version I think....13.0.1 x64) on my Mac Running 10.7.5
the same document opens up. As if it thinks it crashed and needs to recover it. Im a member of Creative Cloud in case that matters.
I have saved the document and closed it properly and yet - it returns every time I start up the program. Can anyone help?
Its not a killer issue but extremely annoying.
thank you.
-wendy-

Yeah - literally can't find anything remotely similar. If anyone knows where I might find the thread to a fix I'd be mightly helpful.
Haven't a clue how to word to it any differently to try to find the answer.

How do I get my bookmarks to open in new tabs

When I click on one of my bookmarks it opens in the same tab, can I set it to always open a bookmark in a new tab?

You're welcome

Why won't firefox open a hot link in a new tab? I have selected the setting that is supposed to do this, but Firefox insists upon opening a new window, every time! It's annoying as hell.

OK...ummmm, I'm running Mac OS10.4.11 (not so sure about the last two digits, but you get the idea). I installed the latest Firefox update maybe a week ago... my monitor crapped out yesterday, so I replaced it with a bigger one that I had lying around. I have used this monitor with this machine before, and had no problems with getting Firefox to open links that I clicked on in a new tab. As per your Help site, I checked the monitor's 'size' and it was as always. I even reduced the 'size' of the monitor, but no joy.
What gives, oh Mighty One?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

This reads backwards, It is the other way as "Norton update is compatible with Firefox 9".

How do you get PSE12 to stop opening the keyword menu at the top of the screen

How do you get PSE12 to stop opening the keyword menu at the top of the screen when you want to isolate tagged photos?????????????
it takes up 1/4 of the screen. This is so stupid. PSE10 had it done right, just a click box and boom all the photos tagged would be there!
This makes NO sense the way it is done now.
How do you turn it off, please . I am ready to send this back to amazon and go back to 10.

I can't get Firefox to open a new tab each time I click on a link or favorite. It keeps loading onto the current tab.

I went to Tools>Options>Tabs and entered a check mark next to the first entry, "Open New Windows in a New Tab Instead" but it still does not open a new tab each time I click on a link or one of my favorites. It used to way back in earlier versions of Firefox but hasn't for the past few iterations...am I doing something wrong or do I need to activate something else within Firefox?

'''''"I went to Tools>Options>Tabs and entered a check mark next to the first entry, "Open New Windows in a New Tab Instead" but it still does not open a new tab each time I click on a link or one of my favorites."'''''
That option only controls pages that would open in a new window based on the code on the website page you are visiting.
Firefox's default is to open a link or a Bookmark in the currently selected tab.
You have some options to have links and/or Bookmarks open in a new tab:
*middle-click the link or Bookmark (middle-click = press the mouse scroll wheel)
*CTRL+left-click the link or Bookmark
*right-click the link or Bookmark and choose "Open in New Tab"
*install one of the following and set the options to automatically open links or Bookmarks in a new tab:
