i was in a Mango Online tab. when clicked on a product for further details, a new tab eg: alibaba.com opens up automatically. this issue occured when i installed the Microsoft software update. Does it have anything to do with the new update? And, how do i stop the new advertising tab from opening/recurring?

You can check if you can start Firefox in Safe Mode by holding down the Shift/Options key.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
