How do I stop a new window opening up when I start a new tab?

When I open up a new tab, it also opens up a new window with all of my current tabs present. So I have 2-3 windows open, all with the same tabs. Closing a tab you're on will also close the respective window and vice-versa.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
