my firefox used to open my links with a new tab but not sure what happened and it stopped doing that. when i google something and i click on a link it just redirects that same tab to the link and i want it to open a new tab. How can i get it to do that again?

Make use of the Following Steps.

  • Firefox Menu - Tools > Options > TAB

Make sure the following are checked

  • open new windows in a new tab instead
  • when i open a link in a new tab switch to it immediately

Does it work if you middle-click the link?


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 or otherwise make changes.
