Firefox updated yesterday, November 10th, 2014. It changed a setting to where now, all links open in a new tab rather than opening in the current tab. How do I change it back to the original setting? I do NOT want to set it so that all links open in the current tab because some webpages automatically open in a new tab and that's ok. I just want to turn off the setting, which just got changed, that makes all links open in a new tab.

Firefox only has the basic setting for the default action to divert the action to a new tab or window or current tab, so if that behavior has changed then it is likely that an extension has caused this.

See:

For links opened via JavaScript you can look at this pref:

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
