I keep getting a tab opening up on my browser (Firefox 4) from Facebook when I haven’t signed on. It’s usually not from an individual but from some organization or other – or occasionally a magazine. Just now a small window opened saying “To use Facebook’s social plugins, you must enable platform applications. The tab has this URL: http://www.connect.facebook.com/widgets/fan.php?api_key=7c248daeb7efee84c8854ac44a9e936d&channel_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tnr.com%2F%3Ffbc_channel%3D1&id=161419311535&name=&width=310&connections=&stream=&logobar=&css=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tnr.com%2Fsites%2Fdefault%2Fmodules%2Fcustom_blocks%2Ffacebook.css%3F3

How can I stop this?
