Question New Firefox window opens when I click links

[cool09]

Today when I click any links in Firefox a new Firefox browser window opens. And when I try to copy any text in Firefox I'm unable to copy anything. Using up to date Firefox.

What Firefox version are you using?

First thing to do when you get a browser problem is to delete cache and cookies, close all browser windows and try again. Also try to disable any plugins you might have installed and see if it helps (if it does, get rid of the plugin that is causing troubles).

Running a Malwarebytes scan would also be a good idea.

If none of the above work, uninstall and reinstall the browser. If that doesn't work either, backup your bookmarks (important if you want to keep them), uninstall again and delete the Firefox app data folder, then reinstall.

There are options in the Firefox config data -- https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1322619
Open a new tab and type "about:config" into the URL That will bring up (after a caution) the configuration options
Put "link.open" in the search bar. Then the data in the linked article should be obvious.
Completely exit firefox to ensure your changes are picked up.
