Firefox opening Gmail tab on refresh

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons. ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)'' * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut. * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox. * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox) * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that. ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.'' Please report back soon. ------------------------- If your Gmail account is hooked up to the X-notifier, then this add-on may be the issue.
