Firefox only loads one page without cancelling and typing in new one

more options

Apologies if I haven't described this very well. After loading a page on Firefox, loading the next one and any further ones could just be typed over the previous one as many times as you needed. Not any more, if I try typing in a new address nothing happens and I have to cancel and load Firefox again. Never used to be like this, can anyone help please?

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

Thank you cor-el. I went into tab settings and unticked "open links in tabs" and this seems to have done the trick.

Can you open a new tab by clicking the '+' or via "Ctrl+T"? Does it help if you open a new window (Ctrl+N)?

Start Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration or if userChrome.css/userContent.css is causing the problem.

  • switch to the Default System theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
  • do NOT click "Refresh Firefox" in the Troubleshoot Mode start window
