I need to stop a setting that prevents firefox from opening a new page while at a web site or browsing, and can't figure out which setting or add on is causing the problem.

Help much appreciated! Very annoying!!

Do you mean Tools > Options > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"

See: Advanced panel - Accessibility, browsing, network, updates, and other advanced settings in Firefox
