how to complete block new tabs from opening?
I want to be in one tab in firefox and block all new tabs from opening how do I do this?
When I visit a website it keeps opening new tabs everything I click. I want things to open only in that one tab.

Type about:preferences#general<enter> in the address bar. Under Tabs, unmark Open new windows in a new tab instead.
If this problem is on a search engine results page, it may be a setting you can modify. For example:
- If it's Google, could you check this page: https://www.google.com/preferences
- If it's DuckDuckGo, could you check this page: https://duckduckgo.com/settings
- If it's another site, please check the settings available from the results page to see whether the site is set to launch results in a new window.
If it's a different site, you're probably at their mercy. They may be using either:
(A) Link target attribute (e.g., target="_blank") (B) window.open script method
To force links targeted toward a new window back into the same tab, you can change a hidden setting:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste link.o and pause while the list is filtered.
(3) There are three similarly named preferences for different scenarios, we're going to focus on the second one, but I mention the others in case you have a question when you see them:
(A) browser.link.open_newwindow - for links in Firefox tabs
3 = divert new window to a new tab (default) 2 = allow link to open a new window 1 = force new window into same tab
(B) browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction
0 = apply the setting under (A) to ALL new windows including script windows with features (dialog windows) 2 = apply the setting under (A) to normal windows, but NOT to script windows with features (default) 1 = override the setting under (A) and always use new windows
(C) browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external - for links in other programs
-1 = apply the setting under (A) to external links (default) 3 = open external links in a new tab in the last active window 2 = open external links in a new window 1 = open external links in the last active tab replacing the current page
You might want to choose 2 for this one after testing the first change.
Does that do what you want?
