Basically if I double click or click once and get enter on the Firefox icon, it will load up, then the window flickers for a moment... then it states I have opened 54 windows, which drastically slows down my computer. I have to then manually close down 53 of them and there seems to be nothing I can do to stop this happening? Nothing has been installed for a few weeks and this only started today?

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

Hello Damian,

this problem could probably be caused by a Firefox extension.

To make sure that no extension is causing the problems, start Firefox in Safe Mode by following the instructions in the Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode article.

Make sure that you haven't set multiple home pages. See How to set the home page: Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' symbols
