On any web page any time i click anything on the page it opens up a new tab instead of just loading on that current page. How do change my setting to where it will just load with out opening a new tab and just run on my live page?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extension (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
