When I click on any link in the web-page I'm viewing, Firefox opens a new window. Most often is is either yahoo or google analytics. This is very strange, as the links I am trying to open have nothing to do with these sites, but are things like articles in a newspaper etc. Also, the setting I have for firefox is for new sites to open in tabs and not new windows. This has only started happening last week, and I have been suing firefox for years.

For those of you who have tried to clear this problem up with virus scans, various malware scanning programs, tdss rootkiller, etc....I have another possibility. I found another thread on this very forum where someone suggested the problem was in the router...specifically, there were manually entered DNS addresses in the router setup. I logged into my router (192.168.1.1) and sure enough, there were DNS addresses loaded and it was setup to use those DNS addresses. I simply clicked on the option to pull the DNS addresses automatically from my ISP, changed the password, and the problem was gone.

Thanks to cr85tx for the solution!!! https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/697011?page=1
