So Normally I would right click a link, scroll down to "Open link in new tab" or "Open link in new Window" ect ect. But now, before I can choose which option I want (tab or window) it automatically opens the link up in a new tab. it does it for every single link... Even if I just want to copy a link (left click and highlight) it will automatically open the link up anyway.. How do I stop it from doing that?!?! It is extremely frustrating.. I don't want everything I right click to be opened in a new tab

Thank you ever so much for any help!

I guess I should add I am running Windows XP home edition and Firefox 22.0

hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...

Tried in Safe mode already and the problem still occurs.. I recently re installed windows on my laptop, and the only ad ons I have is flash block, ad block and adobe flash player. I tried with all disabled, as well as disabling all the extensions.. still same issue..

I'm sorry this might have been important issue but I am using a USB mouse. the touchpad/clicker on my laptop works normally.. I can right click with the touch pad and it gives me options instead of automatically opening it.. could it be an issue withe the USB mouse? Ive never had issuse with it before I re-installed windows. the usb ports are kept clean and the mouse has fresh batteries..

Did you check the settings in the mouse driver?

Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
