Why does when I open new tab on certain website, the link on the address bar doesn't match the page I'm on and shows the link of the page I'm on before?

When I open a new tab...the link on the new tab shows the link of the page I'm previously on. Some of the other page had that effect too. But some website doesn't seem to be affected(ex: Twitter)

Why does Firefox repeatedly open new tabs when I open a .php file?

Hey guys!
I do web development and design. I've just set up my PC (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS) and installed my choice of software.
On the .php files I set Firefox as the default software to open with but now it opens about 50 odd tabs in the space of 3 seconds. How do I fix this?
Kind regards,
-Trey

You've hit a bug that happens when you set Firefox as the external "helper" application used to open a type of file (the "Warning!" paragraph [http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions#Setting_an_automatic_action here] links to the related bug reports, if you're interested).
See [[Firefox repeatedly opens empty tabs or windows after you click on a link]] for how to fix this.

When I open new tabs it is an AOL tab. I have Fire F as my homepage? How do I change this?

I set my home page to mozilla or yahoo, but when I open new tabs it keeps bringing up AOL search engine. I don't want this b/c it is useless and always brings up irrelevant search results. How do I change what tabs open up after homepage is set?

You should just be able to choose whatever search engine you prefer
* [[Search bar - add, change and manage search engines on Firefox]]
There is however a possibility you may have some toolbar or other software installed that is changing setting. Initially look in your Firefox addons and Windows control panel for unwanted software
* [[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]]

Software? See if you can get it removed with some anti-malware tools. Spybot, AVG, Kapersky, et cetera...
If you know the name of the program, you could search the registry for any instance of that name and --be CAREFUL--delete them.
And I have to ask: Did you go back to Firefox after uninstalling this program and reset the "when I open a new tab..." setting? What about your home page?

When i open new tab would like to see most visited websites

when i open new tab would like to see most visited websites and the recent history, similar to Google Chrome and Safari Browsers. I remember Firefox having this feature, but don't know if still available or how to activate. Thanks

Babylon malware injected into Firefox seems to have many causes and as a result many fixes.
See this [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/search?q=Babylon&num_voted=0&num_votes=&asked_by=&answered_by=&q_tags=&created=0&created_date=&updated=0&updated_date=&sortby=0&a=1&w=2 search for Answers threads mentioning Babylon] to see what other similarly affected users have found to fix it for them.
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.

Why can't I open new tabs. I can only have one tab at a time for when I hit the + button nothing happens

Since the last update (about a month or two ago) I have been unable open new tabs unless I find a webpage that takes me to a new link and therefore opens a new tab. It is highly annoying as I need to open multiple pages at once.

Uninstall the '''''Ask Toolbar'''''. It can cause that problem.

Why can't I open new tabs in my browser?

When I click on the + symbol next to the tab I am working in, Firefox should open a new tab. However, this function no longer works in my Firefox browser. What do I need to do to open new tabs again?

This was very helpful: go to browser options in the General settings tab, at the bottom is the Manage Add-ons click on that link, look for the ASK toolbar add-on and uninstall. Then restart browser.
I was elated the tabs work again.

Mostly 80% of all the time when i open new tabs my firefox freezes for several moments like 15 seconds then it open the new tabs

For example when i open about 5 links on google search i open them in new tabs..fire fox freezes totally freezes and the "Warn me when i open over loaded tabs" is checked on. and some times it is not about new 5 tabs some times when i open just 1 ..please help me

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.

Safari freezes the whole Mac when I open new tab

When ever I click open a new tab or use Command + T
The Mac freezes and does not respond. All the apps are stuck for about 1 minute.
Why is this happening , how can I fix it?
Thank you

Hmm…try this:
1. Go to Home/Library/Cookies and delete the Cookies.plist file.
2. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
3. Go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Web Page Previews and delete the contents of that folder.
4. If you don't want to use the Top Sites or Cover Flow features, open Terminal and paste in this command:
defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSnapshotsUpdatePolicy -int 2
then press Enter or Return and quit Terminal
5. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
6. Go to Home/Library/Caches/Safari and delete the contents of that folder.
7. Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete these files (if you have them):
Downloads.plist
History.plist
Form Values
LastSession.plist
WebpageIcons.db
Then Repair Permissions, restart Safari and see if the problem continues.

Why can't I open new tabs in firefox 4?

I upgraded from firefox 3 to firefox 4 when it asked me to do so. The upgrade has not gone right - I have a mixture of the two versions, with the menu across the top as in 3 but the toolbar as in 4. There isn't a button to open a new tab (I can use ctl-t but would rather not). I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but the same thing happens. It seems firefox does not really uninstall since on re-installing it remembers all my add-ons and settings.

You can find the New Tab button showing as a '+' on the Tab bar. 
You can open the Customize window and drag the New Tab button from the Tab bar on another toolbar and it will become a regular toolbar button like the New Tab button that you have in Firefox 3 versions. 
If you want the New Tab button at the far right end of the Tab bar then place a flexible to the left of it.

If you can't find that new tab or plus button then see:
