Sometimes a specific website ie. " http://www.yourtest-india.com/cgi-bin/wingame.pl?partner_pk=8&wingame_pk=40&freetest_pk=10&SourceId=355&CreativeId=23885235&LineItemId=8914668&PublisherId=309257&SectionId=8433399&sub_id_postback=00005de1e959adfd24a71a545c7258e4a8e59 " opens repeatedly in new tab with some time interval and even if I close the new tab that has opened again this new tab opens after same time interval. This happens only when the firefox window is active or open. When the window is minimized no new tabs open. But once I switch to firefox new tab opens immediately with the same page as mentioned above.

Hello @Muqtada.husn, This appears to be some form of malware. It is most likely a plugin that has been installed in your Firefox (either intentionally or not).

If you could provide a list of your plugins and addons we can help you locate whatever is causing this issue.

Alternatively you can do it yourself. Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware is a great article with further links to general issues. Yours might be a sort of the "firefox repeatedly opens empty tabs or windows" issue.

I hope this helps

Sounds like something that could be caused by an add-on, particularly, an extension.

Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:

  • Ctrl+Shift+a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons

In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable (or if obviously bad, remove).

Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.

Any improvement?

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.

You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
