How do I stop Firefox from opening a new tab when I click a link or navigation button (such as "home") instead of redirecting using the currently open tab?

Any time I click on a link within a page, such as the "home" link in Facebook, or the various links on the Mozilla page that I needed to follow to get to this screen, Firefox opens a new tab instead of redirecting using the tab I'm on. Also, Firefox doesn't go to the new tab, it just opens it. So if I want to actually go to the page I've just clicked on, I have to then also find and click on the new tab that just opened.

Hello,

In safe mode link still open in new tabs?

Go to about:config and search for:

  • browser.tabs.loadInBackground change its value to false.

If in safe mode the links still open in new tabs try go to about:config and search for:

  • browser.link.open_newwindow change its value to 3.
