When I am working with pages (Tabs) they suddenly go to a new window when I do not want it to. It has only started doing this recently. Do not know if it is an upgrade thing, or because of a certain add-on.

If selecting a tab, do you move the mouse? Dragging a tab will open it in a new window. I do not have that problem because I use a trackball, but that can be hard to prevent while using a mouse.

Current Firefox versions have a feature called tear-off tabs.
You can detach a tab from the current window and open it in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window.
You can drag that tab back to the tab bar in the original window to undo that detaching.

I guess that is the reason, problem is that it must be too sensitive - mouse or browser tabs ... thanks.
