Help me please, before I break the screen in a temper!

[DisElfchanted3]

I have tabs open in mozilla, usually i click on a tab and it just opens to that page, everytime i click on the tab it closes it.

everytime i click on a link it opens the link in like 2/3 new tabs.

its driving me nutty,

I was just on the phone to someone about an order and i had to put the phone down as all the tabs closed as i clicked on them to tell them the details.

Whats going on?!

go to the preference and click on the tabs tab. Maybe something has accidently been unchecked/checked

I don't know why I always open the 'Help me' threads on Geeky Stuff as I am useless.

I like to think that I might actually be able to help but I cannot.

[cuppa tea] to calm your nerves

These are what I see in preferences

-Open new windows in a new tab instead

-Warn me when closing multiple tabs

-Warn me when opening multiple tabs might slow down Firefox

-Always show the tab bar

-When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately

ALL EXCEPT LAST are ticked

probably no help whatsoever but worth a try!

wheres preferences??

Is mumsnet reallyyyy slow tonight? every other site is loading in seconds but MN is just dead!

Up at the top, I think it says Extras (mine is in German for some reason, bloody annoying). The one to the left of Help.

Quite near the bottom of the list is Preferences.

MN is incredibly slow tonight, thinking of giving up altogether.

I'm on a mac I get to mine by right clicking on the firefox name at top left.
If you have windows then I think its right click and properties at the bottom of the box.
Bit unsure though as haven't got firefox on my PC
