When browsing I find that tabs are opened for links I may have hovered over but did not select. e.g. while on craigslist i selected an item to look for and while looking at the results several tabs opened up with merchandise I did not select. This is an example site, others do the same.

Hi, Not sure but could you start here : Please use more than 1 scanner as each uses diff tech :

Save your Report and google each before deleting anything as do not want to delete something you need, If need help :

Post in only 1 forum, then wait.

Did the unwanted tabs open links that you were hovering over, or something else?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
