Most of the website auto redirect to new tab

Hello, I have recently bought a new computer and installed Mozilla Firefox on it, I open a lot of tabs when I use the internet but ever since I have been using the new computer most of the time when I use the scroll button to open a link in a new tab it takes me too the new tab that has opened.
How can I fix this so when I open a link in a new tab that it does not automatically move me to the new tab?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Whenever I try to open Firefox to any website, or open a new tab, I get a blank tab that will not redirect to a website entered in the URL bar. Help?

    I am on an HP pavilion running Windows7, and for the past couple of days, whenever I try to open the FireFox browser, or a new tab, all I get is a blank screen. The URL bar is empty, and gives the prompt: type an address. When I try to type in the address, and hit either the enter button, or the go button on the browser, I get a spinning circle, and then no response.

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
    '''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
    *Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

    Yes, it doesn't work. I ran in safe mode. nothing changed. I uninstalled Mozilla firefox with only standard removal, no change. I finally uninstalled Mozilla with complete removal and reinstalled it, then it return to normal. Why does this happen? Thanks for your reply.

  • What can I do about the Safari 5.1.4 "Request Timeout" appearing when I try to access most of the websites?

    Please could anyone help me with the "Request Timeout" thing? Once I installed the leopard on the laptop and Safari became a disaster .. It doesn't open most of the websites, even the apple website sometimes !!
    The error I get is :
    Request Timeout
    The server timed out while waiting for the browser's request.
    Reference #2.e3373bc3.1331738341.0

    Once I installed the leopard on the laptop
    But your profile indicates you have Snow Leopard installed v10.6.8
    If it's v10.6.8, installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 may help.
    Restart your Mac after the combo is installed.

    this will stop and remove netcut and the redirect problem.
    I have tested this in vmware and I have emailed the guy who makes netcut and also posted this on cnet downloads.
    no antivurs or malware program will pick it up i think it down to the activepacket.dll

    Google Toolbar Options, in the Search tab, make sure that '''Enable the Google new tab page''' is check-marked. If that doesn't fix it for you, see this for support information about the Google Toolbar. <br />

  • I have lost right click - auto open in new tab

    When I right click a link I used to get the page opened in a new tab automatically, this stopped several updates ago. I have been trying to fix it but have had no joy. There is a solved problem on the forum but I don't run any of the addons that seemed to cause that users problem. I would really like to get this feature back, I have tried living without it but I feel as a bit of functionality is missing all the time.
    Windows 7
    Firefox 30

    In case you didn't know, clicking the scroll wheel on your mouse will open links in new tabs.
    As jscher2000 is saying above, this was never a Firefox feature. This feature was most likely included with an addon that you had installed. I have looked at the ''Tabbrowser Preferences'' extension and this seems to have this function.<br>
    More than likely, the addon was disable by Firefox because it was not compatible with a new version of Firefox, but I can confirm that it is now compatible and you should be able to enable it once again.

  • Has anyone had trouble with the middle mouse (open in new tab) button lately?

    Hi gang. Since v29 came out, I have been having trouble with the middle mouse (open in new tab) button.
    Sometimes the button does not register with Firefox. And sometimes FF acts like I pressed it several times.
    Has anyone else had any problems? I use an add-on called
    '''''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/mclickfocustab/?src=collection&collection_id=33bf10fa-666d-45a2-9bc9-491ce21671c6 MClickFocusTab]'''''
    I disabled it but the problem was still there.

    ''''' "Sometimes the button does not register with Firefox. And sometimes FF acts like I pressed it several times." '''''
    Sounds like a mouse on its' way to mouse-heaven. Seriously, the exact symptoms I have seen with a dozen 3 button mouse's (?meese - ?mice) over the last 15 years. <br />
    Not registering a click is usually due to a dirty contact. And the "double-click" is when the flat spring looses tension and bounces.
    I have had similar happen with the left button, too. But when it happens to that button it is more noticeable much sooner.
    I bought a box of a dozen A4D house branded infrared wireless 3-button mouse's for like $24.00 back in 2000 that were on clearance because the driver disk didn't support W2K, only Win95, 98, and NT4. I got newer drivers from the A4D website and wore all 12 out over the 8 or 9 years. I even fixed a few that broke from the parts from other broken mouse's. I still have 6 or 7 of them laying in the "needs to be fixed" box under my workbench. I'll probably never fix them though, the nano receiver USB mouses I have been using for the 4 or 5 years have much better battery life and lately only need one AA battery.

  • Not true: Links to other websites open in a new tab so that your App Tab doesn't change.

    In the article "What are App Tabs", there's the following statement:
    "Links to other websites open in a new tab so that your App Tab doesn't change." That doesn't happen when I make an App Tab in FF 7.01 in Win 7. I want it to happen, but it doesn't. Sometimes I want to keep Gmail open while I open an link in an email. When I click on the link, I expect a new tab to open, but it doesn't. Instead, the App Tab the contains gmail goes to the linked website. How can I stop this from happening?

  • Firefox STILL does not open the home page when a new tab is selected

    I have just 'upgraded' to FF4 and expected that the irritating 'new tab homepage load situation' would have been resolved by now: sadly, it looks to STILL be around.
    MS IE has been loading the homepage DIRECTLY when a new tab is selected for about FOUR YEARS now, so I'm staggered that such a simple but very useful feature is not available in Firefox.
    The obvious question is WHY??
    In IE, you don't have to keep hitting the home page button to carry out a search in google when a new tab is selected, and IE does NOT need an 'add-on' to incorporate this functionality; it really is quite irritating that the function is still not built-in to FF, and the coding requiret to incorporate the function ain't rocked science Mozilla people - WHY has this not been put into effect by now?

    Some people prefer a blank tab because it takes no time to load. Some people prefer their home page. Some people prefer a list of most frequently used sites. It would be convenient if all of these options were built in, but obviously no one stepped up and made it a priority.
    By the way, another way to search in a new tab is: Using the search box (on the toolbar), after typing your query, either press Alt+Enter or Ctrl+click the magnifying glass. This opens the search in a new tab and saves that step.
