When I have multiple tabs open on Firefox and click on one of the other tabs, it will not change to the newly clicked tab. It will continue to show the previous tab that was open. If I move the mouse around the page, then some of the pictures will appear on top of the previous page.

The only way that I have been able to correct this is to reopen a different tab and then open the tab that I wanted open in the first place. Once I do the back and forth, the tab will show the content that is displayed on that tab.

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

This is still not resolved. I followed the above steps and continue to get the non opening tabs. The last firefox update seemed to slow the problem down, but it still occurs once a week.
