The tabs appear so far only when I'm listening to music on grooveshark.com, and they come up without me clicking anything or even being near my computer. They are always suspicious.

Chosen solution

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

You can also do a check for malware.
