I installed Firefox Developer Edition and I am having the following issues, whenever I go to Indeed and I go to a job posting the browser opens up additional tabs without my permission or me doing so. Also the browser does the same in Canvas when I go to my course the browser automatically opens up new tabs without my permission and also me doing so. The Firefox Developer Edition browser update is Firefox Developer Edition is up to date 152.0b7 (64 bit). The following extensions are installed AdBlocker Ultimate, FoxyProxy Basic, Ghostery AdBlocker For Privacy, Malwarebytes Browser Guard, Privacy Badger, and UBlock Origin. This behavior got super annoying and I don't know how to fix it. Any help on how to fix this would be appreciated. My operating system is Windows 11.

Hi,

Do you see similar behavior in other browsers?

Hi I see similar behavior in other browsers too such as Waterfox, the original Firefox, Google Chrome. I also see it on Steam as well when Steam opens new windows without my permission. I scan my computer using Windows Defender, Malwarebytes, ESET Online Scanner, and finally msert.exe they did not found anything.

Hi,

That means the issue is not Firefox-specific and, unfortunately, falls beyond the scope of this forum. As a moderator, I'm going to lock the thread. Please see Mozilla Support rules and guidelines for more information.
