Hi.
i visited the site, and can't reproduce the issue. Do you have any third-party toolbars and such installed? My suggestion would be to:
- Delete any third party toolbars you may have installed with third party, usually freemium programs
- Scan your computer with antiviral software
- Use a cleaning utility like CCleaner, for instance, and optimize your computer
- Don't click fishy and suspicious links.
Kind regards
You get tabs opening endlessly if you select the Firefox program to handle a file when you get an "Open with" dialog.
Rename (or delete) the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all file actions.

You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
- Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
