Why are multiple tabs opening that I do not want?
If I click on a button or even a field in one site, multiple sites begin opening in my browser: horoscope sites, game sites, computer maintenance sites. They all open simultaneously. I did not ask for any other site to open. I was just navigating in the site of my choice. How do I stop this from happening?

Sounds like a dose of Malware, to me.
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
- Microsoft Safety Scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.
Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.

Hello, try restarting firefox in safe mode
Safe Mode is a special Firefox mode that can be used to troubleshoot and fix problems. Safe Mode temporarily resets some settings and disables add-ons that might be causing problems.

Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for a good add / pop-up blocker.
