I cannot open multiples of websites, one replaces the other when called up.
When I try to open several websites at one time or multiples of same site which I always could do until now the program simply replaces the first with the next. Unable to move from one to the other at random which denies me the benefit of cross checks of data.
This happened
Every time Firefox opened
== Hitherto it has been possible to open several websites at one time, now it is only possible to have one site open at any time.

The default behavior in most browsers when simply left-clicking on a bookmark or a link is to open the new page/site in the currently selected tab. Some extensions can change that behavior. You did not list your extensions, so I can not see if you have one that you may not have the options set to perform as you wish.
There are built-in functions in firefox to open links and/or bookmarks in a new tab, in Windows: -right-click on the link or bookmark and choose "Open in New Tab" -middle-click on the link or bookmark (middle-click = press the scroll wheel -Ctrl+click the link or bookmark
To enter an address in the URL/location/address bar and open it in a new tab, enter the address in the URL bar and press Alt+Enter.

Firefox has the capability of opening multiple home pages when you start Firefox. The individual address are separated by the "|" character. See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page

You ~~red:MAY~~ need to Update Adobe Reader for Firefox (aka Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox): your ver. N/A; current ver. 9.3.3 (important security update release 06-29-2010; see: http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb10-15.html) ~~red:Check your version here~~: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Using+the+Adobe+Reader+plugin+with+Firefox#Installing_and_updating_Adobe_Reader You may be able to update from the Adobe Reader installed on your system instead of going to the Adobe site and downloading. Open the Adobe Reader installed on your system (in Windows, Start > Program Files, find and click Adobe Reader to open), click Help, click Check for Updates. If you go to the Adobe site to download the current Adobe Reader: -use Firefox to download and SAVE to your hard drive (save to Desktop for easy access) ~~red:-See the images at the bottom left of this post to see the steps to take on the Adobe site~~ -exit Firefox (File > Exit) -In Windows: check to see that Firefox is completely closed (Ctrl+Alt+Del, choose Task Manager, click Processes tab, if "firefox.exe" is on the list, right-click "firefox.exe" and choose End process, close the Task Manager window) -In Windows: double-click on the Adobe Reader installer you just downloaded to install/update Adobe Reader
- NOTE: On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). See this: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/run_as_administrator.htm
- NOTE for IE: Firefox and most other browsers use a Plugin. IE uses an ActiveX version. To install/update the IE ActiveX version, same instructions as above, except use IE to download the ActiveX installer. See: ActiveX
