Everytime I click on a link or shortcut it opens a new tab, why doesnt it open it on the tab im on?????? it does it for everything!
Every time I press on a shortcut or a link it used to open them on the tab that I was on, but now it always opens a new tab for everything and it is making me mad.

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

See:
- http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow
- 1: current tab; 2:new window; 3:new tab;
For links opened via JavaScript you can look at this pref:
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
I went to About:config
Clicked ill be careful to continue
Searched Browser.link.open_newwindow
set Browser.link.open_newwindow to 1
And it is still doing the same thing I go on https://www.youtube.com/ click a video I see and instead of opening it on the tab im on it opens a new tab for it

I went into Safe Mode and the Problem Went away How do I figure out which Extension is the one causing the problem?
WAIT THE PROBLEM IS FIXED THANK YOU!
