Extra Tabs Opening without Reason

Since installing v31.0 I have been getting extra tabs opening with most searches performed from the top bar and from clicking links in loaded pages.

When an extra tab opens from a new search, the results load in the new tab and the tab where I entered the search sits with the progress bar at about 25% and never loads.

When an extra tab opens after clicking a link, the page loads in the second tab and the first tab does not open contents of the link.

I have uninstalled three time, restarting in between, an beyond that I don’t know what else to try to stop this behaviour. Below is a shot, I entered the search in the tab which shows the progress bar as loading, nothing ever completes. The third tab shown has the search results and opens as soon as I hit enter on the empty tab.

I have this exact same problem. Definitely seems like a bug.
