FIREFOX opening 8 zillion tabbed windows wtf???
 

Sometimes when I try to open a new tab a shitload of tabs will start opening kinda like a tabbed version of popup hell.

I have to shut down firefox or occasionally even reboot to make it stop.

Anyone had that happen?

make it stop please. :helpme

Sounds like a nightmare.

Hope it get fixed for you.

it happened to me. i think it was because once i chose firefox to open .php files in preferences and it couldn't open them and got stuck in a loop of trying to open them again and again until it froze the computer. sometimes i would post a reply here and it would put up a prompt to save/open a php file for some reason and if i screwed up and hit yes, it would go back to that loop.

its probably trying to do something like that. its set to open a certain file type and when it comes across those file types, it goes into a spiral of death because for whatever reason it keeps opening more tabs each time it can't open it.

hmmm checking settings now

When I was playing with smokey's super console it would cause this behavior at times...

it's broken. go return it.

honestly i hav never seen that before.

I've been having this same problem in IE7, but only at GFY. No other website has the problem. Ocassionally after I make a post or close out a gfy tab, all of the sudden dozens of tabs start opening until I either run out of memory or it causes the IE7 window to close. WEIRD how it's cross-platform LOL

anyone else?
