More Information
hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...
Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems
Try to close all open windows and open a new window for the tabs.
If that doesn't help then quit Firefox after closing all windows and restart the Firefox application.
I had this problem too, when I disabled the TextArea Cache add-on, the problem disappeared. I'm running firefox 20,0
In my case I had to disable toolbar MozBar 2.3 (Firefox 20.0.1, WindowsXP).
