I have firefox as my default browser. Anytime I click on an email or search for something, instead of opening my default browser, firefox loads a new firefox page. It is a blank page just as if I had never had one. It has nothing on it except how you would start out before you set up your tabs and history etc. My default firefox is still there running in the background but I must click on it and manually put in the link I was trying to open.

Any suggestions.

If you right click on the link or email, and select open in new window, does the page open up blank?

It is possible to force it to open in a new tab instead if you already have Firefox open.

Options > General > Tabs > make sure "Instead of opening new window open new tab instead" is checked.

Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause Firefox issues. Disable All of them.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift (Mac Options) > key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?
