This might be answered, but I cannot find a solution. I will give a scenario for my issue.

I am on the UPS website and click a button to print a shipping label. This opens a new FireFox window, BUT... the new window defaults to a generic tab that ALWAYS opens in circumstances like this. It does NOT open to the tab with my label. The print menu opens, but I cannot switch to the tab with my shipping label. No right click to print either. So I have to go to another browser. Absolutely annoying.

So how can I STOP Firefox from starting this generic tab when a FireFox window opens? BTW, the tab has a search bar at the top and several boxes that I can click on for Facebook, Instagram, etc. Thanks!

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
