Hi Fluff,

I believe this is by design and can't turn it off, except with add-ons.

I use the Tabs Mix Plus addon but I wouldn't recommend it unless you're comfortable with installing addons that are not part of Mozilla's official list (and I think it may still be in Beta). This does stop it (at least for me) however.

There is also an option under Tools->Options->Tabs which says New pages should be opened in - if you chance this to current tab does it make a difference?

Ah I have not gotten around to downloading my favourite add on yet. I will see if that makes any differnce.

I have found the problem. In the tools and options, under which home page to use it had the google site, but it also had the mozille firefox home page beside it. Once I removed this and it only have the google on it, it works!
