How do I stop the 'you are about to close 3 tabs' box appearing on the screen, then the site closing?

There is a Tools box that has appeared by itself to the left of the screen, the edge is just visible. I pulled it out and closed it, but it reappears each time the above problem happens.

Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

You can check for problems caused by a corrupted localstore.rdf file.
