Firefox keeps opening multiple windows when web link to iTunes clicked.

Running Windows 7, 64 bit. Clicked the "View in iTunes" button on this page, https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/smartscan-express-fastest/id533516060?mt=8 Link did not open and instead Firefox kept opening another window continuously until there were dozens of windows opening one on top of the other. The only way to stop this was to Shut Down the PC. This has happened on several occasions and it's always when a link to iTunes is concerned.

Sorry, this can happen when Firefox asks how you want to open something that Firefox doesn't know how to open, but you tell Firefox to go ahead and open it. This article describes the various ways to resolve it: Firefox repeatedly opens empty tabs or windows after you click on a link.
