Firefox opens new windows by it self

I've used Firefox 5 for a while now, but since yesterday (friday) my Firefox is acting strange. When I'm searcing on Google for something and then press enter, it opens a new window with 3-4 tabs in it, that has nothing to do with what I'm doing. I've searced for virus etc. and havn't found any, so I'm starting to think that it's a bugg or something? One of the tabs in the "new" window is on my computer C:\Documents and Settings\"username" and the other tabs are just a pile of random signs etc.

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

Tried Firefox in Safe Mode now but I still get those new windows poping up by itself.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs.
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
