Firefox Refreshes the Window whenever a New Window is Opened or Closed

When I have one window running, and I open a new window of firefox or close another window, it refreshes the other window that is running.

It's really frustrating because if I am playing a video or game in one window, and go to open or close another window to browse, it refreshes the page and restarts the video or whatever I'm running.

It's only been doing this the last couple of days, it never did it before, so I don't know what changed.

Anyone know what I can change so that the other windows just stay as they are?
