When I try to access a PDF file from another site Firefox keeps opening hundreds of tabs and won't stop until I close it down.

I removed and reinstalled Adobe Reader and that didn't help. Firefox just goes out of control opening multiple tabs without stopping. If I remove Firefox and reinstall it, will I lose all my stored bookmarks and data?

Thank you Xircal! Everything you told me to do worked and it was very easy to do. I should have been able to figure it out myself. Thanks!
