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.

  • When I click on a link, Firefox opens a new window for that link, how do I change this setting?

    I am unaware of having made any changes to my settings before this started. The best way I can describe it is that simply clicking on a link causes it to "open link in new window" rather than simply "open"

  • When I click an email link it opens a new tab but it doesn't show the website, I have to click "ALLOW" first. How do I set it to show automatically??

    This started happening after a recent update, I'm running FF 16. It's very annoying when I check 10 emails at a time. Can I get it back to the way it used to be, opening websites from email links automatically. I don't need the added security as I have WOT and KIS installed.

    That fixed it, thank you!

  • When I clicked on a link, it opens into a new window. I would prefer that it opens as a new tab. Does anybody know how to change this? Thanks

    You can look at the browser.link.open_newwindow prefs on the about:config page if you want to divert all JavaScript window.open() calls to a new tab.

  • Clicking on a link to open a new page or tab gives me a blank page.

    If I click on a link to open a new page or a new tab, the page that opens is always blank and no address is in the address bar. Also, occasionally, my refresh button is "grayed" out so I can't hit that either. I think this is some sort of security setting blocking it. Can anyone help.

    Thanks Jason, I had the same problem and did exactly the steps above. Problem solved! You rock! :)

  • Firefox closes after I click on a link to open a new window

    I had to reinstall Window 7, and of course, Firefox and Thunderbird. Now Firefox closes after I click on a link to open a new window. For example, if I'm in Thunderbird, and i click on a link in an email, Firefox gives me a message like "Firefox is already open, but must close before opening a new window."

    Is there more than one installation of Firefox listed in the Programs installed?

  • When I click on a link that opens up automatically in a new window (ie internet banking), it will not load at all.Page remains blank.

    Links that open in new windows do not load. The page remains blank. I have downloaded other web browsers and these pages all work with these browsers. I have been using firefox for years and this has only started happening in the last month or so. Is there an update that can fix this? I have also uninstalled and then reinstalled firefox and still the same thing.
    There are no error messages, just a picture of a white sheet of paper in the top left hand corner with the writing "search book marks and history". New tabs are working, it's just the new windows that won't load.

  • When I click on a link within a Web page, Firefox just spins until I reload the new page.

    When I enter a new URL or select a bookmark, Firefox loads the page promptly. When I click on a link within that page to go to another page, the Firefox tab green spinner often just spins and spins. It either takes a very long time to load (2 or more minutes), or never finishes loading. It's usually a greater problem when I "Open a link in a new tab". I can usually make the new page appear by reloading, either clicking the red X and the circular arrow, or Ctrl-F5, etc.

    Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

  • Often when I click on a link to open an email to go to in an article, it opens a blank FF window and not the email format it should.

    Since upgrading to FF 4.0 when I click on an email link it never opens to that link but to a blank FF window.
    Would FF 5.0 fix that or what do I do?
    I'm afraid to use 5.0 because 4.0 caused a multitude of problems for me, not all fixable.
    Please send reply to [email protected] Somehow I never can get back to it on the Support Forum.

  • When I right click on a link to open in new tab and move my cursor into the dialog box the box dissapears this is new in the last 24 hours.

    I'm using Firefox 8.0 on Suse 11.4 today is 11/28/11 the past 24 hours I've been experiencing this: I always try to right click on links and open in new tab, lately when I do so and move the cursor into the dialog box the box disappears. Also if I online shop say for clothing, if I want to change size's when I click the button to do so nothing happens when I want to scroll down and pick a different size, (I can hi-light the size and click on it then when the window scrolls back up the default size is still there. This isn't consistent with all web sites.

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

  • When I click on a link, tabs open continuously and rapidly until I close the browser. How do I stop it?

    Every time I click on a link, multiple tabs open rapidly, one after another, until I close the browser. This does not happen when I use Internet Explorer.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Firefox includes options of how to handle different content types, in your case the mailto links are probably set to "Use Firefox". For details of how to fix this see [[Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows]], in particular the section "Change the action for a content type".

  • When clicking on a link, it opens a new tab rather than just opening in the existing tab. How do I stop that?

    For example, when I'm in Flickr and I'm looking at an album, I click on a picture and it opens a new tab for that picture. When I click on the arrow to see the next picture in the series, it proceeds to open yet another tab, and so on. It's not difficult to have tabs that span the width of my screen in no time at all.

    This should help:
    1. Go to: Tools > Options > Tabs
    2. There is a section at the top that says 'Open links that open in a new window in:' and then a drop-down menu
    3. In the drop-down menu, select the 'Current Tab' Option
    4. Click 'OK'

  • How do I configure so when I click on a link it opens vs downloads?

    When I click on a pdf link the pdf is downloaded vs. opens. How do I change this option to open?

    I'm using MacPro laptop with latest Firefox software. Unfortunately all options open up my download folder where I have to save file and then open it. Probably a simple answer, but not for this meat head. When I get the right answer there will be alcohol involved...
