When using firefox and each time I open a new tab I end up with a split screen and it is annoying. How so I fix it.

I open firefox. Go to website then where there is a + sign I open a new tab. A new tab comes up but then splits the screen into two with a new tab in the middle and I end up with 3 small split screens in the one instead of 3 separate tabs.because it is doing that i cannot then get a full screen and go about my usual business. Lately there seems to be numerous problems with fire fox loading also. it continues to come up with page not found and try again. I hit try again and then it may find the page. these are on sites that I access daily and have done so for several years now. Never before have I had so much trouble with fire fox. Not only I but we have four computers accessing the internet ...have done for some time and never had this problem but everyone is suddenly experiencing the same problem. The only thing new that has been put on the main computer is a K9 protection thing recently and I am wondering could that have anything to do with these issues and if not is fire fox having tech issues . How can these problems??

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions 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.

  • Safari signs me out of a web page each time I open a new tab within a web page I am already signed in to

    How can I stop Safari from signing me out of a web page each time I open a new tab within a web page I am already signed in to?
    This is very annoying, how can I stop this??

    Extensions.
    1. Empty Caches
        Safari > Preference > Advanced
        Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
        Develop menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.
        Click Develop and select "Empty Caches" from the dropdown.
    2. Delete Cookies
        Safari > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies and other website data:
        Click “Remove All Website Data”.

  • I have loaded firefox 4, and every time I open a new tab the curser ends up in the navigation area instead of the search box - very frustrating. It didn't used to happen.

    cursor in search bar not in main page. Causes irritation when I start typing before I realis.
    Problem not experienced in Firefox 3 (now running 4)

    If you want a specific webpage (like the Google page) to always open when you open a New Tab, you can use the following add-on to Open New Tabs with your Favorite Pages:
    -> NewTabURL 2.2.3
    * https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
    * NewTabURL will not work until you set the page that you want to open in the Options for it.
    * click Add-ons > Extensions, click Options next to NewTabURL.
    Check and tell if its working.
    Not related to your problem but do the following:
    -> Update Firefox to the latest version 10
    * [[Installing Firefox on Windows]]
    -> Update All your Firefox Plugins -> https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/

  • How can I change the default url each time I open a new tab?

    New tabs used to open up with the same home page I use when I open firefox but now all tabs open up with something different and I can't find where to change that.

    New tabs in Firefox have always been a blank page by default, but there are many different add-ons that can change that action to a specific web page.
    This is probably the simplest add0on to do that, but first you need to figure which add-0n changed it from a blank page and get rid of that add-on. <br />

  • Every time I open a new Tab the Yahoo Web Search page appears. How do I remove Yahoo from displaying content on each Tab I open?

    I am able to select the website I wish to appear as my Home Page when I open my Firefox browser. However, each time I open a New Tab it opens up to a page showing the YAHOO Web Search Bar. Each and every subsequent Tab opens up showing the Yahoo information. Please Help me DELETE YAHOO ...

  • I have a mac 10.6 system when using firefox, I can no longer open attachments or downloads. I deleted firefox and reinstalled and it still doesn't work.

    When using firefox, I can no longer open attachments, pdf or downloads. A new window will open and it is blank. The only way to open an attachment or pdf is to shut down firefox and use safari. Everything works with safari so I can't understand what went wrong with firefox. I even download adobe reader thinking that would help. I then deleted my original firefox and re downloaded firefox again. It still doesn't work.
    I am using a 10.6 operating system on my Mac.

    Try to disable the Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) and use the external Adobe Reader application or Preview application instead.
    *Firefox > Preferences > Applications > Adobe PDF document : Use Adobe Reader
    PDF files may also be found under another entry like Portable document.

  • Firefox will not let me open a new tab if I use ctrl + t or even right click and click on new tab it still does not open one. What do I do?

    See I like to research things and listen to music on Youtube.
    And well I got online a couple days ago to check my Facebook and it wouldn't open a new tab so I could go to Youtube.
    I've installed the '''New Tabs at the end''' add-on and still nothing. I could really use the help.

    This issue can be caused by the Ask<i></i>.com toolbar (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)
    Your system details show that toolbar in the user agent as AskTbCDS/3.12.1.16460
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions 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.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    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")
    In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

  • I downloaded Firefox 4.01 and now when i open a new tab, i get a blank page, instead of my home page. How do I change that? Thanks

    I downloaded Firefox 4.01 and now when i open a new tab, i get a blank page instead of my home page. How can I default to my home page when a new tab opens?

    You can do that by using an add-on such as:
    * 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.

    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == installed 3.5

    @the-edmeister
    Thanks for the advice. In my case, it is sufficient to '''uncheck''' " Saved passwords".
    ('''''Preferences -> Privacy -> Clear History when Firefox closes -> Settings -> Saved Passwords''''').
    Great to have Sync. :)

  • How to stop multiple auto-switching to address bar every time I open a new tab and try to type something anywhere outside of address bar?

    How to stop multiple auto-switching to address bar every time I open a new tab and try to type something anywhere outside of address bar? Like something just wants me to use that embedded search when u type something not-web-address in address bar and hit enter. And the most ridiculous thing is that it happens repeatedly on like every second, like I just move down from address bar and start typing again, but then again it switches me to address bar, and 3, 4 times like that. And the result is also that I can't see the address of that page.
    I think its has something to do with my AVG antivirus, because this started the same time some AVG Nation started to appear in every new tab i open (and thats also irritating me, I read about it here on support.mozilla.org and it seems that the only solution is to completely reinstall Firefox, but I dont want to lose all my settings) but when i type something in address bar and hit enter it opens the search results in Google.
    Please try to help me, I like Firefox but I must switch to Chrome until I fix this problem.
    Thanks in advance

    First, please update to Firefox 32. 22 is no longer support nor is it secure. Then let us know if you still have this problem. [[Update Firefox to the latest version]]
