Hey lads,

Hope everyone is well! I'm having a few issues with the old laptop. Everytime I click on a link on any website a new tab bar opens up and the page loads up there rather than the current page changing. How do I change this? Really is annoying

Thanks lads!

Pete

Well I don't know but you could try uninstalling Firefox and reinstalling it. That is what I did and it cleared up a simular problem I had. It did not take long.

There might be a setting for this. I'd look under your browser preferences menu

Hey Tommy! Thanks very much for the reply. I just tried your suggestion but unfortunately no joy. I'm using firefox but just checkedd Internet Explorer and the same exact problem. I have no idea :/ Thanks again though!

Sorry Slide just saw you post. Thanks I'll give it a look!

Go to Safari, Preferences.

Click on "Tab"

Uncheck "Open new windows is a new tab instead. "

In IE it's Options -> Settings -> Tabs. Don't have firefox on this machine, but it' s probably similar.

Thanks Slide and thanks Magnus. Worked a treat and everything is back to normal. Really appreciate it lads. I owe all that posted a pint or two Thank you!

I don't know why so many suggest reinstalling software. Simply reading the help files or Googling your question is such a better idea.

And more and more software (such as FF) store their user preferences in another file OUTSIDE OF THE INSTALLATION, so you uninstall and reinstall, but the new installation is going to be using the exact same user preferences anyway.
