Open link with middle click to a new tab goes back to original page when selected
Scenario: I am on a page (eg. a google search) and middle click a link to open it in a new TAB. The page opens in an adjacent TAB. I may or may not open other links in the same way. Problem: As soon as I select anyone of these new TABS it automatically jumps back one page history, eg. back to the google search page in this example. Comments: This was happening on my last PC and I have just got a new one. The problem was not there and now it seems to be back. Could it be a setting that is getting sync'd across from my online profile?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.
I have the same problem when opening new windows, not tabs (but I hardly ever use tabs). I've determined that it's Schockwave Flash that's causing this on my computer. As long as I disable that plugin, when I launch a new window, it doesn't revert to the original window.
But then, of course, I can't watch most videos online. C'mon Adobe and Mozilla. Get it together and fix this problem!
