Whenever I open a new window of firefox a new tab opens with the new window. How do I get it to stop doing that?
Whenever I open a new window of Firefox, the new window opens at the hope page (like I want it to), but then a tab opens up with the new window. I want Firefox to stop doing this. When I open a new window I just want the window to open. I don't know how to fix this as I have know idea how I made this happen. This first happened when I hit control + N to open a new window, but I didn't hit the "N" cleanly. I pressed one of the other keys around the "N" and this issue started.

That's quite strange!
Did you try resetting Firefox? You'll find all the information you need to reset it, here:
Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings
Let me know if that worked!
Cheers!

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.
Can you tell us which extension caused this issue?
This issue has been reported in more threads by users, so it would help to know what is causing it.
Thanks.
Cor-el, I'm not sure what extension caused the issue. I'm not sure what caused the issue at all. I didn't try the "Safe Mode" suggestion. I tried the suggestion from the first post. I restarted firefox and that fixed the problem.
