Attempting to close a tab results in duplicate tabs opening up in browser

Hi everyone! A couple of months ago I purchased a Logitech M310 wireless mouse. It's been working great so far. The other day I noticed something really weird. I use the middle-click button to open links in new tabs or to close existing tabs. When I attempted to close an existing tab, what ended up happening was that the tab duplicated itself. When I closed those tabs, they duplicated themselves. And so on and so forth. I used the middle-click button as well as the left button to close the tabs. After closing 10-12 tabs, I'm then finally able to close the window.

Visual example: [tab a][tab b] *attempts to close tab b. results in duplicate.* [tab a][tab b][tab b] *attempts to close both tab b* [tab a][tab b][tab b][tab b][tab b] *tries again but they're amoebas* [tab a][tab b][tab b][tab b][tab b][tab b][tab b]

My mouse settings are correct and I checked my computer for viruses as well as spyware. All clean. I'm not sure what is wrong so any input would be great!
