why is it that often when i attempt to send an email from some pages where you are meant to say, click on the words "email me" instead of taking you to an email form or window it begins opening endless tabs to infinity & i am forced to forcequit firefox?
i click on "email me" or "send me an email" & it just begins opening tabs endlessly & so fast i have to force firefox to quit & not save my tabs & windows- its happened on many sites

You can't have Firefox set for mailto.
See this.

i dont understand your answer... its not my email that isnt working right, my email works fine... its just when i am on a site like for instance i was attempting to write to one of my congress people & when i clicked on "email me" boom! there it was... firefox just started making endless tabs without stopping...
Did you read the article that I hyperlinked?
You need to check the preference in Firefox for the mailto "Content Type" and make sure it is set to open your email program - under "Action". It is probably set to open Firefox, which is more than likely causing the run-a-way opening of new tabs.
i did read the article i just didnt understand how it applied to what i was aking... that said what you say about the setting makes sense except i cant find "mailto" in my firefox preferences... listen im no expert here just a pretty basic computer user...
I seem to have the same problem but the answer doesn't help enough because I have windows 7
