For some reason, when I click a link on a site/forum etc, instead of opening in another tab as it's always done, it now opens a new window. I haven't changed any settings, so I don't know why it's doing it.
Also, it seems to have forgotten how to remember logins for pages, like these forums. When I changed my password the other week after the problems, Firefox decided that it won't remember the new login/password combination.
Anyone know why this has started happening? Everything else seems fine. No malware, viruses or anything of that nastiness. I'm baffled.
Sounds like a corrupt Firefox profile - http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/profiles
Well I managed to sort out the tab thing, simply by closing Firefox and clearing everything with Ccleaner. On restart it worked again. I still can't get it to remember the password for these forums though.
Ah ha! It was the private browsing session. As I only visit a few sites that require info from me, until removing my password from Firefox, I wasn't aware it didn't remember new passwords if run in private sessions. Unticking that allows you to remember a new password. Hurrah :D
Aye aye, what have you been surfing then? ;D
Nothing dodgy :D I was just wondering what difference it made months ago, then changed it ;D

Good good. I spent half an hour looking for something right in front of me, that I'd seen all that time. I'm still in my 20s. Don't know how I'm going to cope. ;)
(I think rushing anything you end up missing the obvious)
Useful to know that, Niall, somebody else is bound to fall foul of the same problem. :thumb:
