Every time I click a link or sign into a site, it opens in a new tab. I have gone through the tab settings and turned off everything about "open in new tab",,, yet it continues. I now have 9 tabs open to get to this point. Very problematic when logging into bank site, as logging out doesn't really work because another tab is open and logged in.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Cor-el you are correct. The add-on for tabs was the source of the problem. I think it was called "tabs mix" or something to do with an IE tabs add-on. When disabled, the problem went away. I appreciate your dedication to my issue and to all involved with creating this excellent browser. Congrats on 4.0, it ROCKS !!!
