hello, are you referring to links in google's search results? if so, this is part of google's settings for the page - go to google.com/preferences and disable "Open each selected result in a new browser window" (new window transates into new tab in firefox).

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
