Heeeeeeeelp,

since yesterday, I can not use the tabs propperly anymore: when I make a google search, and I click on a link, it pops up a new tab, and the google search tab closes. so I can not go back to my search, since it is a new tab and it has no previous page. my previous serch tab, is closed, the only way to acess it is to reopen closed tab. this is very annoying.

I only had this problem when I was geting a facebook search result, this always poped up in a new tab and closed the search tab.

but now it happens all the time what is the problem? regards f.

I have figured it out,

I dont know how , but I added google to the facebook container (addon), so everytime I clicked on a link it was opening a new "facebook tab". so the same behaviour as with the facebook results.

in the settings there was a remove section, where i could remove google from it.

now everythig is working fine
