FIREFOX KEEPS OPENING UP A NEW WINDOW EVERYTIME I CLICK ON A LINK and it won't let me use the up/down keys to scroll.
Firefox freaked out yesterday and now every tab and link opens a new window. I have windows just to get to this part. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it won't get out of safe mode. I think I have to find a new browser. I can't have 20 windows open to get my job done. I have gone into the settings and clicked everything I can think to get this back to normal. I love Firefox but can't deal with this.. Help

hello, please try to refresh firefox and see if this can address the issue...
Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
