Forum links suddenly opening new browser window?

by John Rowe
5 replies
Anyone else having all forum links open in a new browser window? I'm not talking about actual post or thread links... but things like sigs and links within posts.

Until today Firefox opened those links in a new tab as per my Firefox settings.

I wonder if Allen set all external links to open a new window... or am I the only one experiencing this?

    Mine are opening in a new tab as usual John.
    There is a choice in firefox between tab or new window.
    Maybe that got changed by mistake.

      PMs give you the choice.

      Not sure about the other stuff. Mine does not do that. {I use IE.}

      Yeah, I've already checked to see if that setting changed, but it hasn't. Good to know it's on my end though. I'll figure it out. Thanks for letting me know it's not the board Leslie.

        Works fine for me as well. Maybe your own computer hates you!

          Thanks everybody.

          I run a Firefox Add-on called NoScript (which everyone should use) that might have been the culprit. I went and checked for Add-on updates and NoScript was the only one with an update available. Updated, and things are back to normal.

          Thanks again!
