How do I stop pages opening in a new tab that I haven't clicked on?

This page keeps opening in a new tab on my browser even though I have not clicked on anything.
It is very annoying and manages to open the new tab and put it as the active tab.
I have pop ups disabled and new tabs which open are not supposed to take over the tab that is active.
The page is http://life-localized.com/prize/uk/index.htm?t202id=315925&c1=ams1CL_flZT93rCCFxACGJ2v4ZyQlYyNdSIMOTIuMjkuMjI4LjI3KAE.
Please help

hello, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by malware on your pc. please go to firefox > addons > extensions & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and do a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and also with different tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes].

  • How do i make links open in a new tab

    Hi There,
    Can someone please tell me how to get iWeb to set pages to open on a new tab when links are clicked.
    Like when someone is viewing my website, I want the links in that website to open in a new tab within the web-browser when someone clicks on them. I know I can make links open in a New window but how do I make them open in a new tab.
    Thanks a bunch
    Jason

    There is no HTML command to open windows in tabs.
    Only these commands are available :
    target="_blank"
    target="_top"
    target="_new"
    Opening a new page in a tab is decided by the browser preferences.
    In Safari : Preferences > Tabs

  • When on safari if i click anywhere on the page another page opens in a new tab with an ad

    The other day i download something on Facebook.  Since then my safari has not been the same.  My homepage changed from safari to something like quick search and whenever i am on a page no matter what or where i click another page opens in a new tab with an advert or survey and i have to click ok to get rid of the message then cancel the page.
    Before this happened, my internet was just set as a standard apple laptop is from new, and when on safari if i clicked the little + in tabs part a new page would come up and give me the choice to pick from some of my favourite sites etc

  • The only way I can open a new tab is by right-clicking a bookmarked site and selecting "Open in a New Tab." I can't click on the New Tab + or CTR+T or open via File. WHY?!?

    The only way I can open a new tab in Firefox is by right-clicking a bookmarked site and selecting "Open in a New Tab." I can't click on the New Tab + or CTR+T or open via File. WHY don't the other means work?

    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

  • Can I set toolbar items to open in a new tab by default without right clicking 1st and telling them to?

    I like to have some tabs open at the same time. Then I have some items in the toolbar that a sometimes need to open. I would like them to automatically open in a new tab without closing any tabs I already have open. Can this be done? I know if I right click on the toolbar item then choose open in a new tab it works. ??

    I do not know of any way to specify only some bookmarks to open in a new tab. You could middle-click on a bookmark to make it open in a new tab.
    There are add-ons that can make all bookmarks open in a new tab, such as:
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/13784/ Open Bookmarks in New Tab]
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1122/ Tab Mix Plus]
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59961/ Tab Utilities]
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/62581/ Tab Utilities Lite]
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/14439/ Tabberwocky]
    All but the first of those will add many other tab browsing features. There will be other tabbed related add-ons that can open all bookmarks in a new tab, you can find them by searching https://addons.mozilla.org/

  • How do I stop firefox from switching to new tab when opening bookmarks in new tab

    When I open a link in a new tab it does not switch to it automatically. I had to reinstall firefox to stop it from switching to new tabs automatically since the option being unticked didn't stop it from happening anyway. Now only when I open a bookmard in a new tab it still switches to the new tab and I do not want it to. Why is it doing this with the option unchecked and a fresh install with no add ons of any sort? And how do I make it stop?

    Try to set the Boolean pref <b>browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground</b> to <i>true</i> on the <b>about:config</b> page.

  • How to make sure all the apex pages open up in new tab (or) new windows ?

    - Lets say I create an Apex application in 4.0.2 with 10 pages.
    - Now I wanted to check if there is some property in the Apex Admin or some settings which control this:
    1) anything you click on application, either a page,field- it needs to open in a new tab in the same browser
    2) anything you click on application, either a page,field- it needs to open in a new browser window

    I normally say that 98% of questions asked here have been asked (and answered) before, but I think this is a new one...
    What needs to open in a new tab/window? The target APEX page? It would be interesting to hear the reasoning behind this.
    If this is referring to each page view, as Matt points out there are a number of technical reasons in both browsers and APEX that would make this difficult to achieve. However these are dwarfed by usability and accessibility concerns. Using such a UI model would drive most users insane in short order. More seriously it would confuse infrequent users and users with learning disabilities, and present significant orientation and navigation problems for visually impaired users and people using assistive navigation technologies.

  • How to force links to open in a new tab everytime?

    Hi,
    I don't want to have to hold down buttons on my keyboard. When I click a link I wish it to always open in a new tab window like it does for me in internet exploder. How do I accomplish this in Safari?
    Thank you for your time.

    I'll never get used to having to use a hotkey to get something to show up in a new tab, that much I can say for certain. And I've not yet moved completely away from IE. IE unfortunately has activeX scripts that some automobile manufacturers internal sites use that I must access daily and they only work with the I.E. browser, so even trying to go to their sites with a browser like Safari only produces a page that says you must be using the latest I.E. browser due to bla bla bla.
    Its hard to make the switch 100% when your up against these huge auto mfg's that wont be switching to any other browser anytime soon. Even trying to use some browsers that spoof the site into thinking they are the latest I.E. browser does no good since they can't use the activex controls on the pages.
    I also severely miss having my mouse gestures. I use them extensively in I.E. to navigate back and forth and to close windows etc. Has anybody seen any mouse gestures for safari yet? I could use them more than having windows open in new tabs even. Also safari is still a bit unstable, I've had it crash about 5 times tonight, compared to Internet Exploder which crashes about once per day.

  • IE9 wont open pages, just give a new tab thats blank

    IE9 won't open a lot of pages.  It just opens a new tab that is a blank screen and a empty tab title.  The extension types all vary.  However, if I cut and paste the link in a new tab it will work.  I already tried to down grade the
    version to 8, but it says its unsupported by windows 7 64 bit, funny I started with 8...

    Hi,
    You may be disturbed by some add-ons or malware, you’d better run Internet Explorer with “no-add-ons” model first.
    1.      
    Open Start Menu, then click all programs, select Accessories, open the  system tools;
    2.      
    Right-click Internet Explorer(No Add-ons), run as Administrator.
    If the problem disappears, it could be caused by Internet Explorer add-ons, you could try following steps to narrow down.
            1.    In Internet Explorer, click Tools and click Manage add-ons.
     2.    Disable the Google add-ons and keep the needed items on.
     3.    After finding the related item, double click the item and select Remove.
     4.    Restart Internet Explorer and check the issue again.
    Also you can reset your IE settings. Here is an official article can be referred to.
    How to reset Internet Explorer settings
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737
    If the issue persists, you could restore the Internet Explorer by turn off and turn on the Internet Explorer feature in the control panel ->Programs and Features.
    Note: Before you restore internet explorer, please perform a system backup first and backup your favorites.
    Besides of above suggestions, you’d better scan your computer and clear malware in time.
    Hope that helps.

  • How do i make webpages open with a new tab everytime

    I'm sure this is a goofy question but how do I make FF open webpages in a new window or tab when I click on a bookmark?
    I know I can right click and do it manually but is there a way to make a favorite open in a new tab when I click on it?
    Thanks,

  • Page open in a new tab but i do not want a new tab and I made the selection in tools

    I have a new tab opening when I have unselected open new tab in a new window. I do not want a new tab

    The setting in Firefox/Tools > Options > Tabs: "New pages should be opened in": "a new tab/window" is for links that specify a target window to open the link.
    That option allows to divert such links to a new tab instead of a new window.
    Links that do not specify a where will open in the active tab unless told to do something else by JavaScript.
    It is possible that an extension is interfering.
    For links that do not specify a where, hold down Ctrl and left-click the link or use the right-click context menu to open the link in a new tab or window. For Mac use the command key in place of Ctrl.
    Try starting Firefox in safe mode. Hold shift when opening the desktop icon. -or- click Restart with Add-ons disabled under the Help menu.

  • How do i stop it automatically switching to new tab, the setting is not ticked in options. This is annoying when opening several tabs.

    Although I do not have 'switch to new tab immmediately' ticked, when I ask to open in new tab it switches immediately. This is a problem as I open several tabs from my main page and don't want to go to them at once, I'll look at them in order as I need them. Since an update I now have it switching to the opened tab, and I have to keep flicking back to the main tab. It's giving me repetitive strain problems having to keep clicking the mouse more than necessary. It's an option in the settings, I'd like it to rmain that way. I seriously don't want to keep having to go back to my main page every time I want to open a new tab. Could you make it as it was before please, it was super then. Many thanks in advance. :-)

    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.

  • Firefox start page opens up as new tab whenever my home page opens

    I've changed the default home page to another website.
    Whenever Firefox starts up, two tabs will open ie. my homepage and Firefox start page. While browsing on any tab, if I click ALT+HOME to go to homepage, a new tab opens again for the firefox start page.
    Why is this happening? It didn't happen with older firefox browser versions.

    I have the same issue and figured it out. When you (and I) set our home pages, the Firefox start page was open also. Firefox takes every tab you have open when you set your home page. So close all but 1 tab and go to your desired home page and set it through the Tools>options>General tab. That fixed it for me.

  • The + tab no longer opens a new tab, neither does Ctrl T, or File-New Tab if I right click a link and then click 'open in a new tab" that works, are others having this problem?

    I have been having this problem with Firefox 3.6 for the last several updates. I'm currently using FF 3.6.17.
    I think the problem showed up with 3.6.14.
    I know for sure that I had it with 3.6.15 because I hoped that 3.6.16 would fix it.

    Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.
    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
