I am using FF 30 and lately it's been going out of control. Whenever I browse at some point it will suddenly start opening every link in a new tab and typing a simple entry triggers the hotkeys instead. The only thing I can do is close the browser and restart it, but after a while the process repeats itself. I hope someone can help me solve this

It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware. Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is there for. Also, check the programs that are on your computer

Windows: Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.

Go thru the list. If you find something that you don't know what it is, use a web search.
