When I open a new tab and lets say I go on a website, my tab just makes itself a new window. I don't want the tab to make itself a new window and it can get really annoying PLEASE HELP ME!

Thanks

Make sure that you do not drag a tab slightly down in the browser window while clicking. Current Firefox versions have a feature called tear-off tabs. You can detach a tab from the current window and open it in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window. You can also do this via the right-click context menu of a tab: Move to New Window You can drag that tab back to the tab bar in the original window to undo that detaching.
