Firefox is opening multiple windows without my request. The only way I can stop it is by rebooting my computer.

Fairly often when I open Firefox, it continues to open multiple windows (hundreds of them) without my request. The only way I can stop it is to reboot the computer.

This happened

A few times a week

Hello Sally.

This looks like some virus or spyware. Scan your system for infection.

Or you may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
