Recently on my iPad and iPhone, clicking valid links in either my browser (Firefox) or e-mail (Outlook), a new tab will open to the “about:blank” page, and nothing more. I’ll have to close it and re-click the link, sometimes two or three times before it will work. Sometimes these are links I use all the time and which work fine on other computers (such as my desktop PC). I’ve read about the about:blank page, and while it is nothing to worry about per se, reaching it can indicate other problems, such as malware on the device. I’ve also read that an ad blocker might help, but I can’t find one for Firefox, only Safari (which I don’t like and don’t use).
I am using an iPad Pro 10.5 in., iOS 17.4.1, Firefox 124.0 (39709). Thanks for any help.

Me too (42) Me too Me too (42) Me too ReplyHow to get rid of Ads & tabs that opens automatically in Safari Dear, On several websites, when I get into it or when I click on a text that I want to read, automatically some ad webpages opens. Example, I go on a newspaper webpage and clicking on a text, it opens: * Another example, when I check some plane options on an airline official webpage the followings pages opens in 2 different tabs: * * Sometimes I have even a 3rd page opening. Fact is that I have the same problem on my iPad! And of course on my iPhone as well, well that I mainly use apps. How to solve all this? Of course I checked the Extensions since a while but there is nothing in it. And of course all my products are updated with the latest iOS versions. I installed a Malware software into my iPad but it didn't solved the problem neither and definitely not on my MacbookPro. Your idea's are more than welcome. Thanks. [Edited by Moderator]
Help with Links not opening .. getting Safari message We're no longer able to look at links posted by others on Truth Social. We'e getting a message about Safari. And have tried changing to Firefox but still get that message. Any ideas? All will be appreciated. This is happening on both Apple 7 and 6S
Ad links in search results don't work I've noticed this for a long time. You search something in Safari/google, on the first page of results you typically get relevant links that are also ads. But every one of them returns a "Safari can't open the page." Any fixes?
