UAC keeps popping up when firefox opens new tab or window

Since of today everytime when i open firefox UAC keeps popping up.
I dont want to dissable UAC so i hope there is an solution for this problem.

Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator.
Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
In the Compatibility tab, make sure that Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" is not selected.
You also need to check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program directory.
If you can't make the changes then you need to start Windows Explorer as Administrator.

    Do you have an extension like IE View or IE Tab that opens pages in Firefox sing IE as the rendering engine?

    I set my home page to mozilla or yahoo, but when I open new tabs it keeps bringing up AOL search engine. I don't want this b/c it is useless and always brings up irrelevant search results. How do I change what tabs open up after homepage is set?

    You should just be able to choose whatever search engine you prefer

    There is however a possibility you may have some toolbar or other software installed that is changing setting. Initially look in your Firefox addons and Windows control panel for unwanted software

    Software? See if you can get it removed with some anti-malware tools. Spybot, AVG, Kapersky, et cetera...
    If you know the name of the program, you could search the registry for any instance of that name and --be CAREFUL--delete them.
    And I have to ask: Did you go back to Firefox after uninstalling this program and reset the "when I open a new tab..." setting? What about your home page?

  • When i open new tab would like to see most visited websites

    when i open new tab would like to see most visited websites and the recent history, similar to Google Chrome and Safari Browsers. I remember Firefox having this feature, but don't know if still available or how to activate. Thanks

    Babylon malware injected into Firefox seems to have many causes and as a result many fixes.
    See this [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/search?q=Babylon&num_voted=0&num_votes=&asked_by=&answered_by=&q_tags=&created=0&created_date=&updated=0&updated_date=&sortby=0&a=1&w=2 search for Answers threads mentioning Babylon] to see what other similarly affected users have found to fix it for them.
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    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.

  • How can you get your homage address to open when you open new tabs? My homepage is Google, but my new tabs always open with Yahoo.

    On my old computer, all my tabs always opened to what my homepage was set to: iGoogle. Now with my new computer, my homepage is set, but all new tabs open with Yahoo! I've tried looking at tab setting but don't see a place to set it. Help!

    The behavior that you have is not the default Firefox behavior, which always opens a blank tab. You will have an add-on that is causing this. Check for any Yahoo related add-ons to see if they have this option. The freeze net assistant add-on is another one that opens Yahoo in a new tab.
    There are add-ons that allow you to specify what should appear on a new tab, but these may conflict with the add-on that is opening Yahoo.
    * NewTabURL - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl
    * New Tab Homepage - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage
    Another way of opening the home page in a new tab is to middle click on the home button in the navigation toolbar.

  • When I open new tabs they currently open to yahoo. I want to change it to google but I can't figure out how.

    I want new tabs to open to google which is my homepage. Right now they open to yahoo which I have never used. How do I change it to make the tabs open to my homepage?

    Firefox opens a new tab by default with a blank page (about:blank).<br />
    If that isn't happening for you then an extension has changed that.
    See:

    You can look at one of these extensions:

  • Why does Firefox open new tabs when HOME is clicked?

    I just upgraded to version 29.0 from a 4 year old version and I'm experiencing a problem that I can't imagine how to correct. I have two home pages set in my config, so that when I open firefox I get two tabs displayed. My Home Page field reads "https://www.google.com|https://news.google.com" When I open Firefox I get two tabs, one for Google and one for Google News.
    On my old version, if I was in the first tab & navigated to www.hp.com and then later clicked HOME, Firefox would load that tab back to google. If I was in the second tab, it would navigate that tab back to google as well. The multiple Home page option was just a great help for initialization.
    Now, regardless of what tab I'm in, when I click "HOME" Firefox opens two new pages, sets the first to my first home and the second to my second home and now I have FOUR tabs open. Click home again and I have 6 tabs, again and 8 tabs, etc.
    There has to be a way to fix this. The HOME button is supposed to operate of the current focus, just as it does if you have a single home page specified.

    Hi Stan, what both Ed and I are saying is that the first of your home pages should open ''in the current tab you're viewing'' -- the way you want -- because that's what happens for us.
    Could you repeat the test in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
    After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
    Any difference?

  • Firefox 9 opens new window when opening new tab on Windows 7

    When I load FF 9, then click on the + to open a new tab, it does so, but in the quickstart bar in Windows 7, it shows as another window of FF, although the new tab "seems" to be in the original instance of FF. Effectively, what I mean is, if I have 4 tabs open, it shows 4 Firefox windows in the taskbar.
    Is there a fix for this?
    Thanks and regards,
    Clive

    I'm assuming you are referring to Tab Previews in the Win7 Taskbar.
    This can be turned of rather easily.
    *Open a New Tab
    **Type about:config in the address bar
    When the page loads click "I'll be careful, I Promise"
    In the "Filter" bar at the top of the page type
    *browser.taskbar.previews.enable
    **Double click it to set the Value to FALSE
    If you simply type "Taskbar" in the filter, this will give you ever option that pertains to the windows 7 taskbar.

  • Firefox opens new tabs to spam sites randomly?

    I've looked into this, but it's not the redirect virus that sends to to a different spam site, and it doesn't happen when I refresh or open a new tab myself. Every 15 minutes to hour Firefox opens a new tab by itself sending me to a spam site(most common: Earn a living online ads and those sites that have a pop up asking if you really want to leave). I'm not sure what's causing this, and my AVG isn't detecting anything. Please help, thank you!
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I don't remember if I downloaded something, but I only download from trusted sites. About a week ago is when this started happening.

    Ok, I fixed this myself finally. it's a tdsskiller rootkit, so most likely it will keep you from going to sites to help you fix it. Get the rootkit killer from Kaspersky (link below), run it, problem all gone bye-bye!
