How can I get Firefox to open the page of a link I've clicked on in an email?

Every time I click on a link, in an email (or in Facebook), unless a Firefox page is already open, I usually get my home page first. Then I have to go back to the email window to access the link again to get the page I wanted from the link. Is there a workaround?

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== Not sure... maybe some months ago?
