In my tabs the option is set to open new links in a new tab, yet firefox keeps opening new links in a new window. Any help to get this back to opening in new tabs? I think this has been happening since i downloaded the 4.0.1 update yesterday.

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


In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in Safe mode:

  • Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
  • Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)
