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).

  • Ever since I updated to Firefox 4.0, I can no longer open links in a new tab by holding ctrl and clicking the link. Any help?

    Ever since I updated to Firefox 4.0, I can no longer open links in a new tab by holding ctrl and clicking the link. The only way I can open a link in a new tab is if I right click a link and select "open in a new tab" in the dropdown menu, but ctrl + click is so much easier and faster. Any clue how to fix this?

    Some other users have fingered the Ask toolbar as the cause of this problem. You can try disabling or removing it here:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions
    Does that help?

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

  • When I right click on a link and click 'Open Link In New Tab', it opens it in a new window instead. How do I fix this?

    This only started happening this morning and I don't know why its acting this way. I've tried clicking 'Open Link In New Window' but it also opens in a new window. Any help?

    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")

  • Firefox 30.0 - Used to open PDF file in a new tab when clicked a link. Now new tab opens, does not show file, tab closes. How do I fix it?

    I am using Firefox 30.0. I open a page that has links on it to see some PDF files. When I click on the link, Firefox use to open a new tab and display the PDF file. Now a new tab is opened, nothing gets displayed, and the new tab closes. What setting do I need to change in order to see the PDF file.

  • I cannot open a new tab any way..by clicking the new tab button on tab-bar, or ctrl/T, or File/New Tab, or clicking on link on current page.

    On Windows7 Premium Home Edition, I cannot get a new tab to open no matter what I try. On occasion, if I click on a link on the current page, a second tab will open, but 99% of the time I am stuck using the first tab for everything and using the back button. I have tried ctrl/T, File/New Tab, right mouse click/New Tab, and the new tab button on the tab bar to the right of the current tab.

    Uninstall the '''''Ask Toolbar'''''. It can cause that problem.

  • I open a new tab, and click on the bookmark in the bookmark toolbar, and the web site opens in a side bar. I want it to open in the full tabbed window.

    I love Firefox, but this problem is frustrating me. I want to go to a favorite site and have bookmarked it. When I click on that bookmark, the site opens in a sidebar! How do I make it open in the full tab window?

    You can edit the properties of that bookmark to fix this.
    If you right-click it and choose Properties, you will check a checkbox toward the bottom of the dialog that opens the bookmark in the sidebar. Uncheck that and click Save.
    Does it work?
    (When you use a link on a website to store a bookmark, they get added this way. You can use Ctrl+d or the "star" in the location bar to add the bookmark without having it open in the sidebar.)

  • I'm trying to load up webpages and am getting the error "URL not valid" but it's on sites and URLs that i know for sure are. Like when I click a link it'll do that but I'll close the notification box and click the link again and it'll load.

    I'll pretty much just get a message that says something like google.com is invalid when I know it for sure it. Even if I just click on a link on like Gizmodo or something, I'll get that message. I'll close the message and then I'll click the link again and it would actually load up now.

  • I want to set Firefox to never remember history. When I do this using the tools tab and click okay, it goes right back to "Use Custom Settings for History". I don't want that.

    I know how to manage privacy using the tools tab at the top of the address bar, or so I thought. I want to choose "Never Remember History". When I do that, and click "OK", the next time I check the privacy settings, the history is right back to "Use custom settings for history". I don't want this. Also, I don't want to use autocomplete for forms, but I can't get those settings to stay, either. I basically don't want info. stored on this computer. My system was hacked several months ago, by some joker who named all my system folders a racist slur (I reported it to Norton, and a technician had a look at it). Anyway, I want to keep things as safe as possible. Please allow me to delete all my history when I close Firefox. I don't really like Google, either, because they have a reputation for not respecting people's privacy. I don't like that I didn't have an option to uncheck google's toolbar when I installed Firefox.
    Thank you.

    That is probably OK.<br />
    You may have changed one of the other history or cookie settings.
    If Firefox shows the "Use custom settings for history" setting then that is an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings are not the default to make you aware that changes were made.

  • Some tabs and click-on headings are not working. They worked yesterday, and other than updating Firefox AFTER the problems, I've made no changes. Example: headings in Facebook; headings in my library website.

    Some of the browser tabs and headers that are "clickable" are noe working. I click on them, and nothing happens. Part of Facebook works, but the headers do not. My library site headers, which has tabs for "Search" and "Account" as examples, do not work. Up till late yesterday, there were no problems. I did re-install Firefox this morning, and it made no difference.

    The Yahoo! Toolbar extension has been reported to cause this issue.

  • When I am on a web site and click a link - to a PDF or something else - nothing happens. If I use MS Internet Explorer, this is not a problem. Help.

    When I use Firefox and am on a web site, if I click a link on that web site - like to download a PDF - nothing launches to open the file. The screen - after I click - changes to a blank screen, yet nothing appears. When I do this with MS Internet Explorer, the link immediately launches to whatever I clicked upon.
    Please help - this is frustrating.
    Thank you!

    Hello,
    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.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See Troubleshooting extensions and themes and Troubleshooting plugins
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")
    But it still does not work
