Firefox keeps opening new windows behind my main window, why?
I will be reading pages on Yahoo and find that windows are opening behind the one I am reading without my opening them. I may have a couple open that I have opened myself and hear a video playing and not be able to find it until Iower the pages I have opened to find other pages (usually multiple ones) behind that are individual behind each other. I have no idea where they have come from.

As to the new windows, what is in them? Ads?
As to clips playing;

Yes, I would say they are mostly ads
