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.

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 to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

When I click on a link that is in an email 2 Firefox windows open, one with the link url and one with my homepage.

Since the last time Firefox updated itself ,,, when I click on a link in an email I've recieved 2 windows open. One is my Google homepage and the other is the link url site.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== a link in an email is clicked.

See [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=531552 Bug 531552] - Firefox 3.6b opens two windows when opening external links
'(please do not comment in bug reports)'

When I click on a link that opens in a new window, it takes an unusual long time to open. (16-20 seconds). Same with opening Firefox when I turn on my laptop.

Once it's open, it works fine. I can move around the document or page without any issue, it's just opening. This does not happen when it opens a new tab. Only when it opens a new pop up page. Same with opening Firefox in the morning. I did the same process in IE, and did not have the same problem.

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.

Also make sure that your security software is blocking (pop-up) windows.

Why when i click on a tab it opens the tab in a new window?

every time i click on a tab, without me directing the tab, it opens in its own window... How can i change this?

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.

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

Tools > Options > Tabs: [X] "Open new windows in a new tab instead"
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 that opens Internet Explorer slows all applications to near frozen. Solution?

Firefox is my default browser. Every time I click on a link that opens in Internet Explorer (I. E.) , my entire system slows to near freezing. All operations, including shut down, take forever. The only way I've found to resolve the issue has been to shut down, and reboot. I've tried to avoid clicking on I. E. links, but some websites (especially some customer service links) seem to be available only through I. E.

Hi,
Usually if such programs are hard-coded to look for and open IE, then setting Firefox as the default browser ('''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options''' > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Advanced%20panel?as=u Advanced] > '''General''') may not be effective. You can try to contact the providers and request an update to their programs/services. You can also try to deselect Internet Explorer in Windows Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs > Add/Remove Windows Components (this only removes the references from the Start menu, other locations and hides the IE executable, doesn't uninstall IE).

Version 3.6.6 and Internet explorer will not load sites, so I reloaded the older 3.6.3 of firefox and websites load fine. Internet Explorer still will not load. The error message corresponding with 3.6.6 was that there were problems with the proxy serve

Upgraded to 3.6.6 and no sites loaded, error in proxy server. Internet explorer will not load either. Reloaded firefox 3.6.3 and sites load fine, but internet explorer still will not load. I was only able to connect to yahoo messenger when websites were not loading.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I upgraded to 3.6.6

I have a problem with Firefox loading. It will not load and it says Firefox is using a proxy that refuses connection. Check with your network administrator. How do I get Firefox to work. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it twice. Any help would be great thanks.

I let Firefox sit on my desktop for about five minutes, and it finall allowed me to use it. That is EXTREEEMELY slow. What is the problem?

When I click images or links that should automatically open in a new window, instead a new blank window opens.

For some time now and after firefox has automatically been updated a few times, I click on images or links which are supposed to open in a new window automatically. A new window opens but it is blank with no toolbars, just an adress bar with nothnig in it.

mha007, Thank you. I walked through your suggested solutions and finally disabled all add-ons and restarted them one by one. The culprit seems to be ViewSourceWith 0.8.11. Interestingly when it is enabled I had to go to TaskManager to force Firefox to quit.
Maybe this information will help others. I don't know if the cache clearing etc helped but I would suggest that others start but Bringing up Firefox in Safe Mode (hold shift when you select the icon), disable all add-ons and then start them one by one.
Of course if you have ViewSourceWith maybe you should just disable it first rather than go through the tedium of restarting each add-on separately. To get to the add-ons when it won't open from the toolbar type about:addons in the address area.

Why does Firefox now open a new window "when I click on a link" while using? It's a new annoyance that only appeared when I downleaded or added an add-on or extension. Please help me! Thank you VERY much!

A new window opens when I click on a link or go to a new site.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?
