Re: [OT] Spam Tabs in Browser

I have had similar experience. The interesting thing though was that I 
didn't see the same behaviour with the same sites on other machines. So, 
I guess the reason had to be some extension that was installed. I didn't 
have the time & patience to check which one was the culprit, as the 
concerned browser installation had quite some extension installed. I 
just uninstalled & re-installed firefox and then didn't install any of 
the extension. Working fine now.

Regards.
