When opening a new window, it automatically loads last pop-up (?) content and I am unable to type in address bar or open a new tab in the new window.
I don't know if they're technically pop-up windows (for example, if you do a search on kayak.com, it will automatically open a new priceline.com window with the results of the search), but this happens with pop-up blocker on or off. Other examples are a small info window from a financial or .edu site that opens up saying a session is about to expire, or answering an FAQ (with the exception of the priceline example, these windows don't have an address bar or display a URL). Anyway, after these windows are closed, if I try to open a new window, it will automatically load the content of that "pop-up". Whenever it does this, I am unable to type in the address bar or open a new tab in that window.
How do I fix this? All I want is to open a new window that's blank, not load prior content.

No, I just realized that I was holding Shift-Command-N rather than Command-N

Also, I am able to click links within the new window and even type in open fields in the new window, just not the address bar.
Your System Details shows;
Installed Plug-ins
Version 5.3.1.18536 Version 5.4.1.18709
This could be two versions of the same program.
Press the <Alt> or <F10> key to bring up the tool bar. Followed by;
Windows; Tools > Options Linux; Edit > Preferences Mac; application name > Preferences
Then General.
There are two settings;
- When Firefox Starts
When the browser is started, what page do you want to display. Many of us choose Show My Home Page.
- Home Page
When a new page is opened, what do you want displayed.
- Use Current Page. Use what ever page(s) are open at that time.
- Use Bookmark
- Restore To Default. about:home shows a Mozilla page with tools.
You can use any of these that you wish;
about:home (Firefox default home page), about:newtab (shows the sites most visited), about:blank (a blank page),
or you can enter any web page or about: page you want.
Currently, my setting for "When Firefox starts" is Show my windows and tabs from last time.
My home page is blank.
I just changed the start setting to Show my home page, and changed my home page to a search engine.
I just opened a new window, and it loaded content from the most recent "pop-up", which happened to be a mailing label from Amazon.
It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware. Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is there for. Also, check the programs that are on your computer Windows > Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs. (Mac: Open the "Applications" folder) Go thru the list and use a web search to check any that you don't know what they are.

Command-Shift-N is the key sequence to reopen the last closed window.
