When I close a tab, a new blank one opens that it won't let me close. How do I stop this?

This started only a few days ago, and it's nothing too serious, but it's kind of annoying. If I have two tabs open and I close one, a new blank tab opens. I try to close it, but it won't let me, however, it will let me browse on that tab, just not close it out. I've tried disabling add-ons, and that didn't work. Sometimes I only want one tab open, but it just won't let me have only one tab open.

I've got Firefox version 31.0 and I use Windows 7, if that helps.

Hello, Ardygil!

This is a bug that can be fixed by restarting your computer. I will file a bug report for you, and if the restarting doesn't work, uninstall then re-install

There is an option in Firefox to not close the last browser window / tab.

Open a new window or tab. In the address bar, type about:config. If a warning screen comes up, press the Be Careful button. This is where Firefox finds information it needs to run. At the top of the screen is a search bar. Enter; browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab This should be true.
