OK this is a strange one, and I have no idea how to explain it.

If I have multiple tabs open, and go to a specific URL in ONE of them, all of them go to the same page. What is strange is that the tabs all show different URLs in the URL bar.

For instance, I can open FF, and have around 6 tabs that open as HOME pages. If I go to search in one of them, the search URL shows that of the search engine and the results, but the page show the original page. It doesn't change.

Or, if I open a new tab, and search then I do get the search results--but then all of the other tabs have the same information.

It's like there are multiple tabs of the same page open.

See the attached image. Then see the above left active tab, which is not the page I am currently on. I'm here typing this question, but the tab says a different web page.

FIXED!

The addon "TILE TABS" was causing the problem. I disabled it and now tabs work correctly.

I wonder if FF has thought about allowing us to have side by side tabs like Tile Tabs?

Also, the scroll function is REALLY lagging. I can scroll down,and about 5 seconds later, FF will then scroll the page.
