Why does Firefox keep Opening My Hotmail link in a new window?

I have went to Tool-internet options-tabs-Open new windows in tab instead. And when Im at msn.com and click on the '''hotmail''' link it keeps opening it in a new WINDOW and not a tab. just really anoying was wondering if im missing something in options to set this strait :)
Edit: and i have tried Control Panel-Internet Options too.

Yes, this happens to me all the time too, but I can just be clicking on a link within a page when it happens; my mouse pointer isn't anywhere near the tabs...??

  • Why does Firefox sometimes open an existing tab in a new window?

    I assume this happens because I click in the wrong place or the wrong way. If i knew how it happens I could try to avoid it.

  • Why does Firefox keep opening 3 random tabs while browsing different websites?

    Just to clarify: They are never spam websites. They may be 3 of the same website, but it is always random. I only browse safe websites. This usually happens while Stumbling (StumbleUpon).
    For example:
    StumbleUpon brought me to this website:
    [[http://www.thecreatorsproject.com/blog/5000-fiber-optic-flowers-invade-museum-grounds-in-ifield-of-lighti]]
    Then it also opened three of this webpage:
    [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Earth_Battalion]]
    They have nothing to do with each other. Why does this keep happening? I searched with Anti-Malwarebytes, SuperAntiSpyware and Microsoft Security Essentials. No viruses.
    I have Windows Vista Home Basics 32-bit. And is running Firefox 8.0. (This problem existed in 7.0 and previous as well.

    I've already done this, and it says nothing is wrong with my system.

  • Why does Firefox keep opening new Windows rather than a new Tab in the current window?

    I have " Open a new Tab in the current Window" select in Preferences.
    Why then does this version (Version 4) keep opening new Windows, rather than new Tabs in the current Window.
    This feature worked fine in 3.6.1.3, but in Version 4, it is a frigging pain in the rigging!
    C'mon, Mozilla - time for an URGENT update ...

    That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    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).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Why does Firefox keep opening Facebook and how can I stop it happening?

    I have Facebook open in secure mode on a Firefox home tab. Now every time I open Firefox it tries to open Facebook in insecure mode. If I close the tab it just opens another.
    This is very annoying. How do I stop Firefox doing this?

    Is this very recent? Did you install the new Thunderbolt/Ethernet update?

  • Why does Firefox keep opening a separate Firefox tab along with my home page when I start it, and how do I stop it.

    When I click on the Firefox icon, it opens my home page, but in a separate tab it opens a Firefox page. I only want my home page to open when I click the icon.

    Firefox can store multiple home pages, make sure the other sites are not listed as home pages - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page

  • Why does firefox keeps forcing itself on top of all other windows? it doesn't matter what website im on, it always does it! Really gets on my nerves when im watching a video only to have it minimized and firefox slammed in my face lol...

    It's not to do with what website I'm on - Firefox ALWAYS does this even if I just have a blank tab open! Seems to happen in ubuntu and windows 7. Does anyone know why this is??

    Hi,
    You can consider the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems Reset Firefox] feature via '''Help''' ('''Alt''' + '''H''') > '''Troubleshooting Information'''. If it is okay, you can then install the Mozilla Archive Format add-on.
    If you have security software installed you can try to delete all existing entries for Firefox and its sub processes in the different configuration modules and try to fully trust/allow Firefox afresh. Even after network access is completed, Firefox would still need unlimited access to its disk cache/memory as well as its files. Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firewalls this].

  • Why does Firefox keep hanging, crashing, sulking, dying when internet connection behaves?

    Why does Firefox keep hanging, crashing, sulking, dying when internet connection behaves? Once it renders the page it should forget about the page. Why does it behave when some link is clicked when there is no internet? It should just say internet not available or some crap. Why die, sulk, crash?? I don't get it! 3 series was much much much better!

    I should add, I've re-downloaded Firefox, but that doesn't look like it has helped any. Still get seemingly inexplicable crashes.

  • Why does Calendar keep opening my Mail.app to send me email notifications?

    Why does Calendar keep opening my Mail.app to send me email notifications? I've disabled any settings that look like they could be used to sending me an alert. I've also read that disabling the email alerts in gmail would also help (since I use 3 gmail calendars in addition to my icloud calendar). Any ideas on how I might fix this issue?

    Maybe this will help. If you monitor the "More Like This" box, other threads appear. Opening them usually displays other threads.

    Hi,
    For maintenance.

    Check your Applications folder. If you don't want the app, just drag it to the Trash.
    IMHO you do not need this utility. Your Mac will do maintenance for you.

  • I recently updated to version 5.0, however, when I open up a link in a new window, there is no address in the new window's address bar, just a blank box.

    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)

  • 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? <br />

  • Why does firefox keep changing things up with new versions?

    It really bothers me that Firefox keeps changing things, namely the user interface with new versions. They move buttons around like the back / forward, and refresh button. If I don't have the latest version I get prompted to download it each time I open my web browser. Now with this latest update I got a good inch and a half at the top of my screen that should be gray but is transparent and shows my desktop background. Also, I like to right click and 'open link in new' tab a lot, I thought it used to be 'open link in new window' first than 'open link in new tab' second. They switched them around now I'm opening new windows instead of tabs from clicking the second option by habit. Its not that big of a deal but why keep changing it up when I'm comfortable with what I know.

    You can use Themes or Personas to change the display of Firefox browser.
    * https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/themes/
    * https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/personas/
    You can Middle-click a link using Mouse or use '''CTRL + Left-click''' shortkeys to open a link in a New Tab. See these articles:
    * [[Mouse shortcuts]]
    * [[Keyboard shortcuts]]
    Check and tell if its working.

  • Why does firefox intermittantly open a new window when I click on an existing tab? This only happens when I have three or more tabs open.

    Several times now Firefox 4.0.1, when clicking on a tab (three or more tabs open) I immediately moves that tab to it's own window and closes the tab in the existing window.

    That is probably the "tear-off tabs" feature. A slight movement (usually downward) when clicking on an existing tab will cause that tab to "tear-off" and open in a new window. You can drag the tab back to the previous window. You can also install this add-on to stop the behavior: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bug489729-disable-detach-and-t/
