Firefox 15 is loading pages multiple times to my tray but I have to click them from the tray to open them and then delete the multiples manually - what gives
Firefox is loading pages multiple times to my tray - have to open manually from the tray and then manually delete the multiples or it screws up the opening - what is causing this - neither chrome or IE do this

Each button on the task bar normally represents a separate Firefox window (or other application window). The two mysteries are (1) why so many windows of the same document and (2) why are the windows minimized to the Task Bar?
What is the URL of the page that keeps opening in multiple (minimized) windows? Is it the same URL you have as your home page?
Could you try temporarily using a blank home page and see whether the multiple-window problem goes away?

Could you see whether either of these articles helps (individually or in combination):
Maybe I can express this a different way - Firefox is not opening pages on my screen - it is sending the same page several times to my taskbar where I have to click on it to open it and then manually delete the extra pages in the taskbar - sorry I'm not more teckkie

I think I may have discovered the problem - when I blanked my home page as you suggested and opened a page from my Mail Program as I often do - I still had the problem - but when I typed into the address bar or opened from an Icon on my desktop instead everything opened normally so I put back my usual Home Page and typed into the address bar or clicked from a desktop icon and, again, everything seemed to opened as it should - no multiples - so it seems the culprit is the mail program (Incredimail) although it seems to be something entirely new as I've never had this problem before and have always used Incredimail - I'll check with them and see if it's an ongoing problem in one of their updates - Many thanks for your help
