When I try opening this site, "http://itunes.apple.com/jp/artist", Firefox keeps adding a new tab. I have nothing to do without killing Firefox process. This happens 100% and experienced with v3.6.24 and 8.0.1. Does anyone know the solutions?

You get that problem if you select the Firefox program to handle a file if you get an "open with" dialog.

Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.

Thanks, it works!

The setting for handling "itms" file had been the "Firefox", and I had changed it to "iTunes".
