Firefox v29 opens links in same window
Since installing version 29, I have found two seemingly related issues:
1) I find that links open in the same window as the source, instead of a new window.
For example, I get a notification of a newsletter every day in my Yahoo mail account. Prior to v29, when I clicked on the link in the email message to go to the newsletter, it would open in a NEW window (my preference).
With version 29, it opens in the SAME window (and replaces the window where I had Yahoo mail open).
2) Similarly, I do a lot of work where links will be listed in an Excel spreadsheet. Previously, every time I clicked one, it would open a new window. If I clicked on 6, I would have 6 open windows. Now, each link I click REPLACES the last one I opened.
Both of these issues are highly annoying and slow me down.
Is there a setting where I can change this behavior?

I found that after Firefox v29, a LOT of my settings and
add-ons were changed / reset. Try this;
Start Firefox in Safe Mode
While you are in safe mode;
Firefox Options > Advanced > General.
Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.
Then check ALL of your settings. Browser and add-ons. Then restart.

Thank you!
This seemed to fix it:
>>turn off Use Hardware Acceleration
This was driving me nuts ever since I installed v29
Glad too hear it.
