When I click on a hyperlinked e-mail address in any website, firefox opens new blank windows rapidly without stopping. The only way to stop firefox when this happens is to turn off the computer. How can I fix this problem?

There is a support article for this, although usually it affects certain kinds of downloads rather than email addresses. Hopefully this will help: Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows | Troubleshooting | Firefox Help.

Check the Mailto application in Firefox > Preferences > Applications

Make sure that it isn't set to the Firefox application.
