Some website opens automatically in a new tab with some time interval repeatedly

Sometimes a specific website ie. " http://www.yourtest-india.com/cgi-bin/wingame.pl?partner_pk=8&wingame_pk=40&freetest_pk=10&SourceId=355&CreativeId=23885235&LineItemId=8914668&PublisherId=309257&SectionId=8433399&sub_id_postback=00005de1e959adfd24a71a545c7258e4a8e59 " opens repeatedly in new tab with some time interval and even if I close the new tab that has opened again this new tab opens after same time interval.
This happens only when the firefox window is active or open. When the window is minimized no new tabs open. But once I switch to firefox new tab opens immediately with the same page as mentioned above.

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.

You can do a malware check with a few malware scan programs. 
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database.

I'm using Firefox 3.6.8 on a MacBook Pro. Is there any way to have downloads open automatically in a new tab once the download is complete? Thanks in advance!

I believe when I first got my MacBook, that when I was in Firefox and downloaded a pdf, it opened automatically in a new Firefox tab. At some point, I think a window with the option to NOT do this appeared and I clicked the wrong option, i.e. to NOT have a downloaded pdf open up automatically in a new tab.
I now cannot figure out how to reverse this. I have called Apple support and they think it's a Firefox setting.

Set a preference to have searches from the Search Bar (upper right) automatically open all searches in a new tab
#type '''about:config''' in the URL/Location/Address bar and press the Enter key
#if you see a warning, accept it (promise to be careful)
#Filter = '''browser.search.openintab'''
#in the lower panel, double click the item (or right-click and choose "Toggle") to change the value to "true"
#close the about:config tab and test
#See:
#*For help with opening/using about:config, also see: http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config

About Google toolbar............
Google decided that they will no longer produce the Google Toolbar for Firefox 5 and newer version. It is best to move on to other alternatives than to try any "hacks" to the toolbar that may or may not perform in the future. Future versions of Google toolbar will only work with IE7-9. Google Toolbar is not available on any other browser, even Google's own browser.

Why can't I open links in a new tab with a right click anymore? And why has the toolbar removed the refresh button?

Several basic functions seem to be have vanished from Firefox. I can no longer open links in new tabs with a right click, and the refresh browser button (and back/forward navigation buttons, etc) do not appear in with consistency anymore. How do I get these basic navigational tools back? (most recent updates are installed)
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== 7 July 2010

* Make sure that you have the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then see if you can find them in the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window
* If you see the item in the Customize window then drag it back from the Customize window to one of the toolbars.
* If, in "View > Toolbars > Customize", you do not see that item then click the "Restore Default Set" button

I'd like to have web links open automatically in a new tab. How do I make this happen?

1. When I open Firefox I have it set up that my gmail page automatically opens. When I want to go to another web site a new tab does not open but replaces my gmail tab. Then I have to use "back" or "history" to return to the gmail page. This gets difficult when I have been surfing the web & then have to go "back" thru numerous web pages. I'd like each web page to open in it's own tab. How do I do this?
2. Also, in google help it stated: " If you want to open a link in a new tab instead, just right-click on the link and select Open Link in New Tab from the context menu. " I tried this & the "Open Link in New Tab" did not appear in the menu. Can you assist me in locating this menu?

If you use Ctrl + left-click or middle-click a link then the link should open in a new tab. 
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] 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.

How can I get the link I click on to open automatically in a new tab? Thank you

I am sure that the old version of Firefox, you could click on a link and it would open in another tab, I have looked at Google as well, and I can't see if it was a google option.
Any help appreicated, I expect I am missing the obvious!

You can use an extension:
*Tab Utilities Lite: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/tab-utilities-lite/

How do I set Firefox preferences to automatically open links in a new tab (just like Firefox3) ?

For example, when clicking on a link from a Google search, how can I have the link open automatically in a new tab as opposed to replacing the current page ?

Hey, cor-el -- long time no see! Hey, I have a problem, & my brain isn't working well enough to suss it out at the moment. :(
For some reason in the last week or so, links selected from either bookmarks or address bar no longer open automatically on selection, plus google search has disappeared from the nav toolbar . (Don't ask "what add-ons have you updated?" I don't know, & the add-on manager says I haven't done any recently.)
I checked about:config for browser.search.openintab; value is still set true. I toggled it false, restarted FF, then re-toggled true & another restart -- no joy. :(
I'm running 7.0.1 (release channel) on my work machine & the latest 8.x beta candidate at home; both exhibit the same behavior, so I'm assuming it's not a beta bug. What am I missing? I know it has to be something simple, but my brain refuses to compute. I know I could use safe mode & successively re-enable my add-ons, but I don't really have the time or mental clicks available.
I'm hoping it's something simple since I really don't have time to plod through everybloodydangthing for the one bad value that I'm sure is causing it. :/
Regards & Happy Monday!
Bill

I can't open links in a new tab after the latest update

On certain websites where links open automatically in a new tab, such as Gmail etc, the tabs are empty and all of them have this strange address in the address field:
jar:file:///C:/Program%20Files/Mozilla%20Firefox/omni.ja!/chrome/browser/content/browser/newtab/newTab.xul
On Gmail not a single link works properly, all the links from the black bar, (Documents, Calendar etc...) and links in emails, they are always opened like this. It never happened to me in previous versions of Firefox.
I will be grateful for any help..
P.S. I don't have the Ask.com toolbar installed and never had..

hello, can you try resetting firefox in help > troubleshooting information? this will restore all preferences to the default but keep your bookmarks & passwords

How to open link in new tab with right click?

I'd love to be able to right click, i.e., two finger tap on the magic trackpad, and have a link open in a new tab. I know I can hold the command button to accomplish this, but then it takes two hands. I tried the following on the command line which had no effect:
defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true
Is there a way I can do a two finger tap and have the link open in a new tab?
I'm using safari 5.1 under Mac OSX 10.7 (Lion)
-Thanks

I FINALLY found a solution! I was searching for a command-click plugin, and I found this app named "middleclick" It simulates clicking a middle mouse button, with a 3 finger tap. Now I can open links in a new tab with only one hand. Great!

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

Firefox does not recongnize some downloadable file (e.g., Adobe Flash Player); instead it opens a new tab with nothing in it.

Firefox cannot download the files I want to download sometimes. For example installing Flash Player. It opens a new tab with URL "http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/mac/9.x/9.3.4/enu/AdbeRdr934_en_US_i386.pkg.zip" and title "adberdr.pkg.zip (application/zip object)" on it. It happens when I have to download some dmg or compressed files.

-> Tap ALT key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
-> go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
-> Update ALL your Firefox Plug-ins https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
-> go to View Menu -> Zoom -> click "Reset" -> Page Style -> select "Basic Page Style"
-> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> unselect All Unwanted toolbars
-> go Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> '''Time range to clear: select EVERYTHING''' -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on '''Cookies, Cache''' -> click "Clear Now"
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Content -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Block Pop-up windows 2) Load images automatically 3) Enable JavaScript
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Security -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons 2) Block reported attack sites 3) Block reported web forgeries 4) Remember Passwords for sites
-> Click OK on Options window
-> click the Favicon (small drop down menu icon) on Firefox SearchBar (its position is on the Right side of the Address Bar) -> click "Manage Search Engines" -> select all Unwanted Search Engines and click Remove -> click OK
-> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious Extensions (Add-ons) -> Restart Firefox
You can enable your Known & Trustworthy Add-ons later. Check and tell if its working.

Hyperlink + ctrl click opens the page in new tab in my website. it should open it in the same window of my website

When i do a ctrl+hyperlink click in my website running in firefox, it opens up in a new tab, I dont want the ctrl+hyperlink click to open in new tab or new window. It should open in the same browser. (works as required in IE 7)
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Ctrl+left click on a link or bookmark will open in a new tab. That is a standard Firefox keyboard shortcut. Middle-click will do the same (Middle-click = press the scroll wheel). On the following page, scroll down to "Web Navigation" or Find (Ctrl+F), enter "Ctrl+lef" (without quotation marks) in the Find box. Read the footnote 4 about how to change from background tab to foreground tab.
See: http://www.7is7.com/software/firefox/shortcuts.html
To open a link or bookmark in the currently active tab, simply click on the link or bookmark. Your current tab will be over-written with the new link or bookmark.
The following page shows the shortcuts for IE7. Click "Working with tabs". It shows Ctrl+click will "Open links in a new tab in the background" and on the next line, it shows CTRL+SHIFT+click will "Open links in a new tab in the foreground".
See: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Internet-Explorer-keyboard-shortcuts#
Maybe you have installed something to change the shortcuts on your installation?

Why, when right click on some link the options "OpenLink in New Tab" and "Open Link in New Window" are exchanged?

Dear friend, the problem is that there is exchange of something very useful from users an this break them habits! I'm not interested of forced using of tools! Of course it's good that there is a tool to solve my problem, but this action make me unhappy.
last words - this is the way of losing users.

Firefox automatically opens a new tab with search results

When I visit a URL, Firefox loads that page and also opens a new tab with a URL based on some word in the original page. E.g., www.tripadvisor.com url opened in a new tab. Is this a feature I can turn off?
E.g., I searched for "shovel" in the location bar. A list of results was presented. The first one was as follows. When I clicked on that link, the Amazon.com page with a bunch of shovels opened, as well as another tab with the home page of Amazon.com.
May be this is a Google issue and not Firefox issue.
Amazon.com: Shovels
Online shopping for Shovels from a great selection of Patio, Lawn & Garden & more at everyday low prices.
