    Firefox opens two-three tabs when I click on a link: what to do?

    Does anybody have the same problem? It suddenly started to happen last week, when I downloaded version 4. I tried to download version 5 and it still happens, and then the version 3.6 I had before, and it still happens. Does anybody know what to do, apart from using another browser (I am used to firefox)?

    What is in those other tabs? Spammy sites?

    No, the same page again. When I click on a page, the same page opens in 2 or 3 tabs.

    No clue then. May be fixed with a reinstall? I can confirm its not normal behavior.

    If you are sure it is not Alzheimer's then it's probably the mouse.

    Yes, it was the mouse (or so it seems)

    Silly me, downloading new software, worrying about Alzheimer, etc. Thanks both for your help.
