Yahoo search is opening a new tab each time someone clicks on a searched for link. It should be at the users discretion to open a new tab. The way things used to be. They are exploiting you software.

See:

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