I just upgraded Firefox, and now it's opening new windows instead of news tabs when I click on links. It's driving me nuts. How do I get pages I click on to open in new tabs instead?

I'm using Firefox 3.5.14, and had no similar problems with an earlier edition.

I believe I've already selected the "open in new tab" option. Am I missing something?

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.

  • Use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window to disable all extensions.
  • Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
