I have FF opened. several tabs. In going back and forth between the tabs, sometimes, not always, a whole new FF browser opens with the tab I clicked on removed from the first FF session and opened in the 2nd FF. Thus I have 2 FF browsers open, one with most of my tabs, and the other with only the last tab I clicked on. It moves the tabbed address from the original FF and opens it in a new FF browser.

I am not moving a tab...I am just clicking on it to go back to that site. I've been using FF for a very long time. It never did that before. It has just begun in the last month. I don't like it. I have to close the 2nd FF and click on "+" in the 1st FF and type in the URL and reopen in the 1st FF. I do not wish to run more than one FF browser at the same time.
