Whenever I open Firefox and open some site,I select some hyperlink to be opened in new tab.This will open a new tab but at the same time a new window will be opened with 3 new tabs and with junk urls I am not able to understand.And this new junk window keeps on opening.Making it impossible to work.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

Sounds like Malware on your PC.

Install, update, and run these programs in this order. They are all free for personal use, but some have limited functionality in the "free mode" - but those are features you really don't need to find and remove the problem that you have. (Not all programs detect the same Malware.)
