When I click a link in a website, it loads in another tab, however i get 100's of new tabs that load with "untitled" and when i close firefox, it just opens by itself again and again

I was on my son's school website and I was looking to click the link to his teachers personal web-page. When I did, many, many "untitled" new tabs kept opening in the same screen. In fact it did not stop until I restarted my computer.
When I tried to close mozilla firefox page, it would then open up a new screen again doing the many, many "untitled" tabs. Every time I clicked the red X at the top of the screen, it would load a new page doing this.
It also did this on one other web page.
I am sure that there is just some info that needs to be entered for what to do when you click a link, however I have no clue how to change it.

For the list of teachers there are email addresses in the right hand column, did you click on an email address?
If you did that could explain the multiple tabs being opened. What may have happened is you have the mailto protocol set to open Firefox which results in 100s of tabs opening when you click on an email address. For details on fixing that see [[Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows]], in particular the section on "Change the action for a content type". My guess is you will find mailto is set to "Use Firefox".

When I click on link in a website firefox randomly decide to reload the page after it has already loaded it once. It's really irritating. I tried uninstalling firefox and installing the latest version but it still does it. HELP!!!!

After I updated to 3.6.8 I started noticing on a game I play at UniversalCriminal.com that randomly when I click on a link, firefox will load the appropriate page and as soon as it finishes loading that page it will refresh or reload the same page. It doesn't happen on any particular link it just happens randomly, and not all the time but most of the time. I tried reverting back to an earlier version of firefox but it still happened. I uninstalled firefox and reinstalled the latest version but it still happens. It doesn't do it with IE or Chrome or Opera. What gives? Any ideas anyone?

I see that you ave changed some network.http prefs. 
Doing that can cause all kinds of problems because not all servers like such changes, so you can try to reset those prefs on the about:config page.

I just upgraded Firefox, and now it's opening new windows instead of news tabs when I click on links. It's driving me nuts. How do I get pages I click on to open in new tabs instead?

I'm using Firefox 3.5.14, and had no similar problems with an earlier edition.
I believe I've already selected the "open in new tab" option. Am I missing something?

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.
* 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")

I successfully transferred my itunes to another PC, when I click on most (not all) songs, it tells me to authorize the computer, I authorize it, it says this computer is already authorized, but when i click on a song, it tells me to authorize again. help

I successfully transferred my itunes to another PC, when I click on most (not all) songs, it tells me to authorize the computer, I authorize it, it says this computer is already authorized, but when i click on a song, it tells me to authorize again. help

Are the songs authorised to the same account?
Often people change their e-mail address over time, and also decide to set up new iTunes account names using that e-mail. You can (and should) continue to use an old e-mail address as your account name. Then you don't run into the issue of having different songs authorised to different accounts.
To check the authorised account for the song, click "Get info" on the song name in iTunes. It will show the account name in the Summary panel.
If you have set up multiple accounts, log into each one, and burn the songs to CD as audio tracks (i.e. like a normal CD, not a data CD). You can then re-import the files into iTunes without the authorisation embedded into the song.

I get a blank popup window when clicking a link in some websites. I used to get info in the popup.

I updated to FF 3.6 in early December. Since then there are some regular sites I visit that display a blank page when I click a link that used to have a popup window with the information.

I do not see the Adobe Reader (PDF) plugin listed with your original question. To see the plugins submitted with your question, click "More system details..." to the right of your original question post. You can also see your plugins from the Firefox menu, Tools > Add-ons > Plugins.
Try the following:
#Close all Firefox windows, File > Exit
#Click (Windows) Start > All Programs (or Programs) > Adobe Reader (Adobe Reader will open)
#On the Adobe Reader menu, click Edit > Preferences > Internet
#Under Web Browser Options, check the "Display PDF in browser" box
#Click OK. Close Adobe Reader
#Restart Firefox and test
Also, check your settings for PDF Content type in Tools > Options > Applications (I know you said you have already done this, but check it again after doing the above). See:

I had to delete everything on my computer and install the operating system again , but I had to install Snow Leopard because it was the cd that came with the computer when I bought it. The problem is that I had already paid for the OS Lion and even had upgraded to the Mavericks . I do not think it's fair to have to pay again and I would like to upgrade my operating system without having to pay again for the same system.

Hi anatuta,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you are trying to upgrade your Mac to a newer version of OS X, after completing a fresh install of Snow Leopard.
If you have already purchased and downloaded OS X Lion and Mavericks, you should be able to find these items in the Purchased section of the Mac App Store.
You may find the steps in this article helpful with finding the items:

Check and tell if its working.

How do I setup the email where when I click a link it will use the already open email tab.

Before having my computer worked on, I always kept an e-mail tab open. I use the extension sbcglobal.net, I am assuming this is a yahoo extension, but not positive. Anyway, when I would I would click a link from a website to e-mail it would automatically open in the tab I had opened for e-mail. Now it opens in a new window and says mail to:XXXXXXX (whatever the e-mail is) So I have to remove the mail to portion and then use that opened window and close that window when finished. The purpose of having my e-mail open all the time was to use that one tab. Is there a plug in or something to make firefox use sbsglobal. net for my default mail client. I do not use outlook, hate it, I have att.net set as my home page and want all mail to go there, not a new window.

Give https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/ a try - that should get you what you want

New tab opens when I click email link, this doesn't happen with IE or Chrome

I use a specific website for work. When I click a hyperlink on the website that is supposed to generate an email, it also generates a new tab for no reason. This is a waste of time. This also doesn't happen on the same website in IE or Chrome.

Those are extensions for Firefox. You can access the Firefox Add-ons page using one of these methods:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. On the right, enabled extensions are listed alphabetically, with disabled extensions at the bottom.
As a general test for problems caused by any extension, the user can try the same pages/functions 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'' Refresh).
If the problem goes away, usually that points to an extension as the culprit.
Bear in mind that other aspects of Safe Mode may be more relevant to display glitches (hardware acceleration) or crashes than extensions, but in this case, I'd look at extensions.

When i go to google, then search my school, mozilla freezes when i click the link. why?

I made a new user for my school work. I signed on. started mozilla firefox. went to google. searched for the itt tech student portal and when i clicked the link, it froze. the loading circle on the tab continued to spin but my mouse pointer stays the arrows to move the vertical border. <-> like that. why is it doing this?

Hello,
Have you tried [[Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages|Firefox's zoom feature]]? This will help increase the size of web pages.
* To make things bigger, press '''Ctrl''' and '''&#43''' at the same time.
* To make things smaller, press '''Ctrl''' and '''-''' at the same time.
* To reset the size back to normal, press '''Ctrl''' and '''0''' at the same time.
You can also use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2592/ NoSquint]. add-on to change the default zoom level for all websites at once. After setting your global zoom level, you can still fine-tune the zoom on individual sites.
'''Using NoSquint:'''
#After installing NoSquint, make sure you have the Add-on Bar displayed:
#*Right-click the new tab button ("+") or a blank area of the tab bar to the right of it and choose Add-on Bar from the shortcut menu.
#Click the % on the Add-on Bar to call up site preferences, then click the Global Settings button, then the Zooming tab.
#*You can experiment with sizes larger than 125%, but it's not recommended that you go higher than 150% unless you have a large high-resolution monitor.
If there are particular sites that still present a problem, feel free to post their URLs.
Please let us know if this helped you!
Thank you.

When I try to open Adobe Reader, it just opens a gray page and then closes by itself. This also applies to any pdf files I try to access; they'd all follow the same pattern: Gray page-->automatically closes after 2 to 3 seconds time. I have tried accessing the Eula.exe via C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, however, the only available button for me to click is the "Decline" button and not the "Accept" license agreement. Please help!
