Opening links in email, this happens. First click opens home page. Leaving that window open, a second click opens the link. Looking for a way to avoid the double loading. Mac Pro OSX, Intel.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

This is caused by certain extensions that cause websites specified on the command line to not open. To figure out which extension it is, see Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems
