Why does my browser zoom when I open a link in another tab?

When I updated my firefox browser a new "feature" appeared. Everytime I click on a link to open it in another tab, whether its right click/open in another tab, or crtl and left click. The link appears, true, but the site I was clicking from has zoomed one level out, like I was pressing crtl and + sign. This is bothersome because that is how I browse many sites. This doesnt happen in other browser so it seems to be exclusive to firefox. Is there a magical setting that can trigger this off? Is there a way to make it stop, oh please make it stop. Thanks guys

I found my problem. Mcafee Siteadvisor was acting up. I disabled it and this stopped. So I removed it from my computer. There seemed to be two versions on my computer. Maybe the version wasnt firefox 4 ready... Anyways, its gone now. And my problem is fixed.
