the tabs keep opening in a new window when I switch to view them and sometimes when I scroll too. How Do I Turn This OFF Completely Forever? I asked this before and was told it can happen if I move the mouse when I click and this is a new feature. NOT SO.. they open a new window frequently, no mater how I click , even sometimes while I am scrolling a page.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== upgraded

I have this incredibly annoying issue too! Except it started since I "upgraded" to Firefox 4. I quickly click on a tab and start scrolling down and it opens in a new window: I'm pretty sure I'm not dragging my mouse, since my hand movement didn't suddenly change for whatever reason after switching to FF4.
