Google opens new tab every time I search something

Every time I google something, in addition to getting the search result in the tab I was currently using, https://www.google.se/blank.html opens in another tab and the focus changes to the new tab. This is getting really f-ing annoying. It's annoying enough that the new tab opens, but what really frustrates me most is that it has to focus the new tab every freaking time, even tho I have "When I open a new link in new tab Switch to it automatically" (Tools > Options > Tab) unchecked. Please help before I break something expensive!

Hello,

Try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.

(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)

  • You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the Shift key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
  • Or open the Help menu and click on the Restart with Add-ons Disabled... menu item while Firefox is running.

Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"

If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article for that.

To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.

When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.

Thank you.
