I am a developer and i like firefox a lot but in the past few months its been a hectic and i just cant use it anymore as whenever i am using firefox it starts opening pages on its own in a new tab. and i looked for the solution on your forum and it says try malware but i dont have this problem with any other explorer, i have tried chrome and IE and its just with firefox but i have an antivirus and malware software installed so i dont think it has anything to do with this its just firefox problem so please fix it.

See Firefox repeatedly opens empty tabs or windows after you click on a link

You may need to delete mimeTypes.rdf in the Profile Folder
