Do you have your Options set on the Tabs tab as you want them? Also, version 2.0.0.6 is the latest of FF.

yes im using that ff 2.0.0.6 i went to the tabs option in tools -> options but i dont see anything that can fix my problem. it only says warnings and other stuff like a check box for open tabs in a new window. wats up???

Did you try checking the boxes to open new pages in a new tab and to open links in a new tab and switch to it immediately? Does this happen when running FF in Safe Mode? Click Start, then Programs, then Mozilla Firefox, then select the safe mode. Might try creating a new profile.

Not sure what help I've been. Would you please post the steps you used to solve your problem so others following this thread will know what to do? Thank you.

i dont know what but i actually found out how to solve it. u see when we u want to open in tabs dont right click the bar and say open all in tabs instead go to File-->New Tab

so then your other pages wont redirect to the mozilla firefox website.

Well, I was trying to get you to set your Options so you wouldn't have to do all that. Mine always open in new tabs or I click the new tab icon to get the tab open and type/paste a url then go there. It also always opens a new tab from a link I click. If you right-click on a link, you have the option to open in a new tab or new window. I rarely use this as I just press and hold Ctrl key while clicking the link.

yeah thats actually the shortcut

Ctrl+T

thanx Major Payne

[Major Payne]

No, holding Ctrl key while actually clicking a link is not the short cut key. It opens the new tab because of the way I have my Options set. The Ctrl+T will open a new tab before anything and you get a blank window. Makes you go through extra steps like typing/pasting the URL in address window then clicking go icon. I rather get the page open in a new tab more quickly.

Everyone has their own way.

your right i actually like clicking ctrl-T
