Thread: Firefox on laptop

Does the homepage you are trying to use have a pipe (|) somewhere in the address?? Firefox lets you specify more than one site as your home page by separating each address with a pipe character, and if the URL you are using as your homepage contains a pipe, it'll start churning out multiple tabs when you hit the "home" button...



Stop Firefox from opening multiple tabs when it starts | Firefox Help

I have the same set up than you (Win7 on a LT) and on Tools/Options/Advance/Accessibility, I selected "Warm me when websites try to redirect or upload a page"

When browsing, under the menu bar a message will come: "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page" and at the far right a bottom will be there to Allow it as an option.

OK Checked both of the above and problem still exists. Every time I hit the home button it opens a new window underneath the home page I run. I end Up with a stack of new pages which are not wanted.

Have you tried resettign Firefox to its default settings??


On the menu bar, click the Help menu and select Troubleshooting Information. Click the Reset Firefox button in the upper-right corner of the Troubleshooting Information page and follow the instructions. See if the problem still arises.
