As soon as my computer boots Firefox or whatever browser I used last pops up and then a zillion new tabs keep popping up. I wiped the drive and reinstalled Windows and it was ok until Windows did an update and now it is back to doing the same thing. Anyone have an idea of what is happening?

You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js file in the Firefox profile folder that store session data and delete or move this file.

Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).
