Links are set to open in new tab, not current tab. However since update to FF 14, they open in current tab. How can I change this back?

I would like links I click on to open in a new tab, not the current tab. In the Tools>Options, I have it set to do this. However, since the update to 14.0.1, I can't get it to open in a new tab. This is for all web sites and email.
What can I do to change it?
Thanks.

Thank you John99. I used a combination of your suggestions above. The "Reset Firefox" worked the best, after I did a System Restore!
Thanks for your help.

When I right click on a link "Open link in new tab" since a few days, it "jumps over" the tab to the right and opens in the tab next to that. How can I change this back to opening in the tab next to the page from which I opened as it used to be?

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.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

When I create a New Folder (on the desktop or in Finder), the system uses the Generic Document Icon instead of the Generic Folder Icon. How can I change this back?

When I create a New Folder (on the desktop or in Finder), the system uses the Generic Document Icon instead of the Generic Folder Icon. How can I change this back?
All of a sudden I noticed that most of the folders on my computer were no longer using the folder icon, but the generic document icon. I had to manually change back the icon being used by opening Get Info for each folder and copying and pasting the generic folder icon from some folders that remained unchanged. Now whenever I create a New Folder (right click -> "New Folder"), the icon that shows up is the generic document icon (white page with top right corner turned down). And I have to manually change it so it shows up as a folder in Finder or on my desktop. I don't know why or how this switch happened. All of the folders now on my computer look ok, but I need to change the default so when I create a New Folder it uses the correct icon.
I have also Forced Relaunch of my Finder and rebooted the system. I downloaded Candybar but am not sure what will fix anything, so I haven't proceeded.
Anyone know how I can do this? Thanks.

Anyone?

I have the same question. This is also made more difficult as apple has taken away the handy full screen icon on the upper right hand corner.

When I am looking at a direct image (Example: an imgur link) the picture is centered and on a dark grey page after I updated to FF 11.0. How can I change this back to normal?

As the title suggests since updating whenever I visit a direct image link the page turns dark grey and the image is centered.

This is awful and I would appreciate any help in reverting whatever got changed.
Thanks!

You need to install Java SE 6 to run those programs. There has been quite a bit of discussion here about that. Something at one of these links should get you going...

A search takes me to a page where I click on a link which takes me to an advertising page, rather than the link I clicked. How can I change this back to a true search?

Example: Yahoo shows "Seal Team 6" in "Trending Now." I click it. I get a normal page with options to read specific stories. I click one. It takes me to a page advertising seal fur coats or team sport clothing. But my opportunity to read the article is gone. For a while I could paste the link into the URL, but even that now goes to another advertisement. Any help would be appreciated.

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

Safari 5.0.6 opens in landscape always on one profile . how can I change this back to portrait mode . Thank you .

Frustrated in that I am unable to reset Safari to open in portrait mode in my profile (Admin) . It continually opens in landscape . Other 2 profiles on the iMac open always in portrait mode . Have tried resetting Safari , reviewed Safari Preference & System Preferences but can't find the option . Please help a frustrated nerd .

Not sure what you mean by portrait and landscape. Are you referring to full screen mode by chance?
Click View from the Safari menu bar top of your screen. From the drop down menu you can click Enter or Exit Full Screen.
With Safari open, Command + , (comma) opens Safari Preferences. Or from your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences.
There aren't any options for full screen mode in Safari > Preferences... only from the menu bar, (View).

Yesterday I download Firefox 4. When I tried to open it I got message that Firefox was "working offline" How can I change this back to on-line when I can't get any farther? All other programs work fine, I just cannot access the internet.

Computer is a desktop running Windows Vista. IE will not open either saying "there is a problem and shutting down". My laptop with Firefox 3.6 works fine.

Until recently, the "From" tab showed the actual person who sent an e-mail. Now it shows only the Yahoo group. How can I change this back?

This happened very suddenly on the 15th, without my being aware of having changed anything. How do I get the From tab to show the sender, not the Yahoo! group name?

I have seen a couple of reports now but have not observed it in any of my yahoo groups.
Could you please forward as an attachment [message menu (ALt+M) > forward >as attachment] a mail from such a list so I can examine the headers. Email unicorn dot consulting at gmail dot com

You changed the order of the menu for "Open in a new window" or "Open in new Tab", How can I change it back? Or how can I omit any reference to tabs? I do not use them at all.

When I open a new tab, the new tab used to show shots of 6 or so of the last sites I'd viewed, so I could easily click on one and go to it. Now it shows a blank tab and I have to type the URL of the page I want. How can I change it back?
