  1. All web browsers open a new tab when I click on a link


    For the last week I've been struggling with an issue that really is driving me CRAZY. I am a microsoft Edge user and I noticed when I click on a link it opens a new tab for the selected link. I am not a bing user, I only ever use google but I have tried all the help tutorials and this still happens. I have also tried it on chrome, firefox and internet explorer and all do the same thing. A friend suggested malware so I scanned my computer and it found nothing. My last move was to reset the computer however the problem has stayed the same despite the programs being wiped in the laptop. Is my onl

    Mail app and web page links not opening new tab

    This is probably something dumb I've done, but I can't figure it out.

    emails in Mail used to open web links (http and https) in a new tab in my FF browser. Now, they open on the current tab. Not sure whether it's a Mail setting or a FF setting; both have been updated, so either could be the cause.

    Any suggestions on where to look for how to handle links in email in Mail?

    Thanks!

  4. All web browsers open a new tab when I click on a link

    browser opening new tab when trying to open links

    Hi, Not sure if this is the right thread, but here goes. My issue is this: whenever I click on a web site shortcut, whether in my task bar or on my desktop, my browser opens a new tab with my browser home page, rather than going directly to the web site I'm after. This happens no matter which browser I'm using. Even if I'm running Chrome or Firefox by default, it will automatically switch to Edge, and open a new tab. All sticky keys features have been deactivated, since somebody suggested this may be the problem, but the problem still persists. This has only been happening since late yesterday. After numerous restarts. and powering off, waiting, then powering back on, the problem still persists. I am running Windows 10 Home. What am I missing? Please help if you can. I'm still able to open a browser and get to my web sites that way, but it's a pain in the butt. Thanks in advance.

    Kind regards,

    in Browsers and Email
