How come in Mozilla Firefox on my computer whenever i click on my bookmarks toolbar it opens in a new window?
Earlier today everything was fine and then suddenly when I opened Firefox again then every one of my bookmarks had opened in a new window. How come?
Michelle answers:
Check Tools; Options; Tabs to make sure it says that New Pages should be opened in a new tab, not in a new window. Is it possible that someone using the computer was tired of having the bookmark open over the existing page? I often right-click the bookmark and click open in new tab. Also, my wheel opens it in a new tab automatically. You can read this website for some tips:

How do I stop Firefox from uploading the Google Toolbar every time I open it?
Every time I’ve opened Firefox today, it’s announced that Google Toolbar has been downloaded. I’ve uninstalled it and re-opened a Firefox window three times now, but every time I go to re-open a window, it tells me that I’ve got the Google Toolbar again. How do I stop this?
Michelle answers:
I believe that Firefox has an agreement with google to run their search window in the top right corner of the browser. That’s why it’s free. Have you tried the Opera browser?

How do I configure Firefox to allow pop-ups from specific sites?
How do I configure Firefox to allow pop-ups from specific sites? I had clicked on an online job application to take a screening assessment and it said: “For further information regarding pop-up blockers, refer to your browser online help.” How do I do that?
Michelle answers:
When Firefox blocks a pop up, a little bar comes up at the top of the screen, and lets you know it has done this. You can click the options button there, and set it to always allow pop-ups from www.whatever.com.
You can also go to tools>options>content, and edit the exceptions next to the block pop-up windows tick box.

Can you download FireFox Browser over the top of existing same version?
Downloaded the latest version of FireFox Browser, 3.5.2, it’s been havin issues, can I reinstall it again over the existing version and not mess anything up, or lose any information?
Michelle answers:
Give up on Firefox until its fixed there are currently just too many problems to rate it as a reliable piece of software. Try Orca, K-Meleon or Flock they are all free Mozilla based browsers and are all faster than Firefox. They have been produced by people who agree the Mozilla search engine is best but that firefox has gone wrong somewhere. If you go to firefox help pages or Mozillazine help pages you will see that the people there are extremely arrogant and blame everything and everybody for having problems with Firefox. Not a good sign. IE8 is OK with a shell like Avant or Maxthon or slim browser. But a browser that is not part of the OS will always be more secure. The less well known it is the less likely it will be hacked.
