Firefox 3.6.8 opens multiple windows instead of new tabs no matter how I select the options in preferences. This happens on my Macbook Pro but not on my Windows PC.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems

You can also try "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the Safe mode start window.

removing add-ons didn't work but resetting all preferences did. Thanks for your help.
