I click on link to open in another tab and I keep getting redireted to a differant page

I have McAffees installed on this PC and it gives a green check mark if site is ok to visit if not it warns you not to go there.
I do my searches w/google then open my search in a different tab so I can keep my search up in case it is not the info I was looking for.
I open several tabs at a time and close what dont have what I am looking for.
Firefox ver. 3.16.3 i let it update whenever it says theres an update.

Try to uninstall or disable the XUL Cache 1.0 extension (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions). 
That extension (malware) is probably the cause of the redirection. 
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_add-ons
You may need to check the Windows registry to find how and where it is installed from.

When I right-click a link to open in another tab, the new tab opens not in the original window but in the first firefox window of the session

when I right-click a link to open in another tab, the new tab opens not in the original window but in the first Firefox window of the session.
I deleted sessionstore.js from the profile and restarted Firefox but that did not help

Sounds like this bug:
* [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=644729 bug 644729] - Popup window with all toolbars visible causes new tabs to open in another browser window
''(please do not comment in bug reports; you can vote instead)''

How can I click a link to open a new tab without automatically switching to the new tab?

I use Ixquick as my search engine. When the search result comes up, every time I click a link, Firefox creates a new tab and changes the focus from the search results page to the page for the link I clicked.
I want to have a new tab created , but I want to stay on the search results page to be able to continue clicking other tabs of interest.
I'm new to Foxfire and this functionality was very useful to me when I used Internet Explorer.
Any help will be appreciated.

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

You installed a variant of the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
This malware has many variants. Anyone else finding this comment should not expect it to be applicable.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.2c232f1e4d12129e.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.2c232f1e4d12129e.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.2c232f1e4d12129e.helper.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/2c232f1e4d12129e
/System/Library/Frameworks/v.framework
The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
          Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
          Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

When opening a new tab, how do I get images of recently viewed pages to appear below the toolbars??

This works. I hadn't realized that this feature came from the Google toolbar. Thank you.

When I right click on a link to open in new tab and move my cursor into the dialog box the box dissapears this is new in the last 24 hours.

I'm using Firefox 8.0 on Suse 11.4 today is 11/28/11 the past 24 hours I've been experiencing this: I always try to right click on links and open in new tab, lately when I do so and move the cursor into the dialog box the box disappears. Also if I online shop say for clothing, if I want to change size's when I click the button to do so nothing happens when I want to scroll down and pick a different size, (I can hi-light the size and click on it then when the window scrolls back up the default size is still there. This isn't consistent with all web sites.

You can middle-click a link to open the link in a new tab.

Both in safari and chrome, whenever i click any link it opens a new tab with advertise. Original tab turn to top sites.

This is a **** of problem i am facing. I am so annoyed that i am considering to get rid of Mac. My previous mac did not have such problem. Well, lets say i have opened airline site, i am trying to search ticket, i have put all destination and dated, once i click search, it opens a new tab and current one become blank with top sites. Its really annoying. Can someone advise what to do?

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

When I click on links, I want them to open in another tab. They keep opening in another window, even though I went to the settings to try and change that.

How do I get it to open in tabs instead of windows? I went to Options>>Tabs and unchecked "open new window instead of tab". I can't figure out what else to do.

Thanks so much! :)

Will deleting my you tube app affect my youtube accounts becuase since uploading the latest Apple update, everytime I go to click on something on my youtube page, it switches to the app and then comes back and opens up another tab and never did that

I am having a problem with my youtube account, as since updating to iOS 8.3, the other day, every time I go to my youtube account and click on anything there by opening up a tab, it always goes to the youtube app and then goes back and opens a new tab. Everytime I have updated, it seems to get worse not better. One other thing that happened that has not been fixed yet when I updated a while ago, was that when you have many tabs open and go back and forth between them, it aleays reloads and does not stay the way you left it. Wish Apple would get it right and especially with youtube issues. So my question regarding my youtube account would be if I can delete the youtube app, without affecting my account.

If you delete the YouTube app you will not be affecting your YouTube account. You can always reinstall it & see if that fixes the problem.
As far as Safari pages reloading between tabs, I have also noticed the issue after iOS 8 on my iPad 2. Updating to the latest iOS on older devices can see a degradation in performance within certain apps due to the limitations of those devices.
We made the choice to update & with the many benefits of the latest & greatest iOS there are bound to be some problems too,

When opening in another tab how do i get it to open up in google? not home page.

well I want my next tab to open up in google and not some crazy sweetpacks it has cause some viruses in my computer and i want it gone...

You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:

Command + Click on link to open in new tab suddenly not working

I am an enthusiastic user of command + click to open a link in a new tab, but it suddenly stopped working earlier today and I cannot figure out how to re-enable this feature. I'm on the beta release cycle at version 7.0, with several addons installed, including (perhaps relevantly) Tab Mix Plus.

This is a link to a modified (by the Greasemonkey devs) version of Tab Mix Plus. Works around the bug until the TMP guys do so officially.

When I click a link to open a new tab/window it opens and the URL appears but the page doesn't load?

To clarify - the new tab or window appears, and the web address is showing correctly in the address bar, but for some reason the new page won't load unless I manually highlight it and hit return. Please help!

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.

I had about 17 tabs open on my browser. I clicked a link to open another one and when the tab opened the other tabs disappeared. What happened here?

I had 17 tabs open. When I clicked a link to open a new tab all the other tabs disappeared. I thought a new window had been opened instead, but this is not the case there is only one window open on my mozilla browser. If I try to close the window I get a message that says there are 26 tabs opened, I opened 9 more tabs. Can anybody tell me what is going on here or how I might figure this out?
Also, when I close a tab and try to reopen the tab using the right click menu, the 'undo closed tab' menu is disabled. What happened here? Can anybody tell me how to re-enable it?

I've seen some occasional glitches with windows losing the toolbar area, but not one that disturbing.
If you click and drag down on the 18th tab enough to tear it off into a new window (and possibly the same for the other newer tabs you opened), can you get the 17 tabs to re-appear in the first window? If not, I'm not sure there is a way to mend the window. If it's NOT a private browsing session, you might have to use Firefox > Exit (or File > Exit) and restore your session to get a working window. That won't work with a private window...
As a backstop, you might also right-click a tab in the window > Bookmark All Tabs before ending your session. (Because session cookies and other transient data are not preserved when you reload bookmarks, this isn't as effective as restoring a session. On the other hand, bookmark storage is less fragile than session data storage.)
Regarding Undo Close Tab, are the closed tabs listed on the History menu under Recently Closed Tabs? If so, that context menu item definitely should be enabled.

When clicking on a link, it opens a new tab rather than just opening in the existing tab. How do I stop that?

For example, when I'm in Flickr and I'm looking at an album, I click on a picture and it opens a new tab for that picture. When I click on the arrow to see the next picture in the series, it proceeds to open yet another tab, and so on. It's not difficult to have tabs that span the width of my screen in no time at all.

This should help:
1. Go to: Tools > Options > Tabs
2. There is a section at the top that says 'Open links that open in a new window in:' and then a drop-down menu
3. In the drop-down menu, select the 'Current Tab' Option
4. Click 'OK'
'''If this was the answer you were looking for, please click 'Solved' -- Thanks.'''

When I click a link to open the page in new tab, it open the new page beside my page.

After I update FireFox to version 3.6.8, I could not open the new page in the last tab, it always opens the new page in beside the tab.
Mmm…I could not make sure the new page or new tab I said is the same with you…?? (I use Chinese version so that I don’t know if it’s the same or not…)
A window could open several pages with different tabs, and I could click different tab to different page, right?
If I right clicked a link to open the page to “new tab” in the same window, the new tab opened in the last tab of my window.
But after I update FireFox to version 3.6.8 and I click a link to open the page to “new tab” in the same windoe, the new tab will open beside my page. (Mmm…Open on right of my page.)
I would like the “new tab” open to the last tab in my window, not “beside” the tab I used. How could I change the setting??)
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== After I update FireFox to 3.6.8

That feature isn't new to 3.6.8, it was changed in 3.6.
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.''
Filter = '''browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent'''
Double-click that preference to change the value to '''''false'''''

I click on link to open in another tab and I keep getting redireted to a differant page
