If desired, you can also remove all URLs found there and replace them with a single URL of your choosing too (i.e. To have only one tab open, remove any and all URLs listed there except for the one you want to keep as your Startup page. If more than one URL is listed, then more than one URL (and more than one tab) will open when you launch a new tab or start Chrome. Once open, scroll down to locate the section titled "On start-up" and select the radial beside the option reading "Open a specific page or set of pages." This will bring up an assortment of URLs-these are the ones set to open when Chrome launches or when you launch a new tab. This will launch the Chrome Settings panel in a new browser tab.Īlternately, you can also type "chrome://settings" (without quotes) into the browser address bar to activate this panel. To do this, launch Chrome and click on the three bars in the upper right corner of the program window (or the wrench icon, or the orange and white arrow icon, depending on your version of Chrome) and click on line reading Settings in the menu that appears. To fix, start by opening your Chrome Settings panel. This means Chrome is still being commanded to open a second tab, directing you to a site connected to that malware, even though the malware is no longer on the machine anymore.) (Even though the threat may no longer be there, the command line installed by the malware to re-direct you to it may not have been removed via a virus or malware scan. How that setting got changed is another matter, however, as this may have been caused by malware or a virus infection, or the recent removal or a virus or a piece of malware.
So chances are the issue stems from that and not from a bug with your program or mouse device.

Any ideas on how to correct this?Ī: Chrome has the ability to open multiple tabs at once if it's instructed to do so within its Settings panel. I also slowed down the click speed on the mouse to the original setting, in case that was the cause of the issue, but that too did not work either. I have uninstalled and reinstalled my mouse (thinking it might be an issue with that) and uninstalled and reinstalled Chrome several times but nothing has changed. Alternatively if I close a tab by clicking on the "X" on the tab itself, it will close two tabs instead of one as well. In Chrome when I click to open a new tab, it opens two tabs at once in the browser window instead of only one.
