When I press the + sign to open a new window in firefox the new window opens with a facebook registration scheme. I do not use facebook and have no intention to use it, so I do not want this page. This started with the new upgrade a few days ago. At the same time I also got problems with other things in firefox. Does anyone know how I can get rid of the facebook registry page?

Hi tomab,

By default Firefox opens a blank tab when you hit the tab button. The fact that is shows an actual page leads me to believe that you have an add-on or something else causing your issue. I'd try starting Firefox in Use Troubleshoot Mode in Firefox. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the Extensions and Themes troubleshooting guide and the Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems article as well.

Hopefully this helps!
