When clicking on a link on some websites (and some e-mails), get endless series of empty tabs and have to quit Firefox and start again to do anything.
The tabs are generated continuously and I can do nothing with Firefox without quitting and coming back again. First instance I can recall occurred about six months ago with a link in an e-mail.

You get that problem if you select the Firefox program to handle a file if you get an "open with" dialog.
Thank you. I will have to try this out with a known troublesome link, but I don't recall getting an "open with" dialog in these circumstances. Also, as I understand these things (and I probably don't) the links I have tried to use have been communication links rather than a file opening function. The problem I got the other day was on a BBC site and the function of the link (which was an e-mail address) was to enable me to post a question. I was able to use that address to post the question without using the link shortcut - just sent an e-mail.
