How can I change the system to stop opening a new page everytime I seek information from that page? It took me 5 pages on the task bar to ask this question.
This week I downloaded the BIOS update from Mozilla and since then my header bar has not been the same. For instance, in order to get to this box, to ask my question, I entered Mozilla.com, then entered "Help" which resulted in a new tab, then "Ask a Question" which was another tab, then still another tab. By the time I got to this page I have 5 tabs open. In the past, a new page was opened and I could always return to the original via the "arrow" in the address bar. More than likely this can be solved with one key stroke, I just don't know what key to stroke. Thank you!

I'm sorry, but what do you mean by a BIOS update?
Firefox will launch a link in a new tab if the Ctrl key is pressed down during clicking, and will launch a link in a new window if the Shift key is pressed down during clicking. Maybe Firefox is having trouble reading your keyboard accurately. Sometimes pressing Ctrl or Shift several times will help clear that up. In other cases, it could be a compatibility problem with your keyboard, low batteries, or another problem on the keyboard side. And/or, if you haven't shut down and restarted Windows since this problem began, that sometimes helps.
Some add-ons also can change how links behave. Do you have any extensions related to tabs, like Tab Mix Plus? You can review your extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
- Ctrl+Shift+a
- "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. For some, you will find an Options button to inspect their settings.
