I'm using Firefox 39 on Linux. While surfing pages will open new windows and that is what I want to stop. How can I stop webpages from opening new windows?

Thanks, Gary

What is in these new pages? Ads?

You may have ad / mal-ware. Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. Each works differently. If one program misses something, another may pick it up.

Adblock Plus {web link} Blocks annoying video ads on YouTube, Facebook ads, banners and much more. Adblock Plus blocks all annoying ads, and supports websites by not blocking unobtrusive ads by default (configurable).

Adblock Plus Pop-up Addon {web link} Adblock Plus Pop-up Addon extends the blocking functionality of Adblock Plus to those annoying pop-up windows that open on mouse clicks and other user actions.

On Linux malware is not really present. You either have an extension that causes this or you visit website that open such a pop-up window.
