Whenever I click on an email link within an email or site, firefox goes crazy, with 100s of tabs. Only way to stop it with task manager
That's basically it. Whenever I click on an email link within an email or website, Firefox just continues to open new tabs, I assume, because it happens so fast . The only way to stop it is use Windows Task Manager to close Firefox. This has happened with two different systems and 2 different email servers.

You get tabs opening endlessly if you select the Firefox program to handle a file when you get an "Open with" dialog.
You can rename (or delete) the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all file actions.

You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
- Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
