Firefox 4 continues to randomly forward my existing tab to the new tab page (even though it ISN'T a new tab) completely taking me off my current page I'm browsing.

I will be browsing a page (no particular page, it has happened on different pages on different domains) and all of a sudden it forwards my current tab to the new tab page completely taking me away from what I am browsing. If I hit the "Back" button, it takes me back to a older history page of the same website domain. It is hard to determine when it happens exactly because I am not usually doing any clicking, just scrolling and reading. Although I think it does happen more often a few seconds after going to a page.

Anybody had this problem like me? My main problem with the new Firefox was that if I am browsing on the current page, then I browse away to the new page or site and I can't go back to the previous page or the very first page. Sometime it is frustrating. That is the main problem that I had but I like everything else about Firefox.
