How do I stop all tab group windows cascade open when new page is started

Upgrade to latest Firefox version two days ago, and now whenever I start a NEW PAGE, all tabbed pages cascade onscreen, ie "open link in new window" brings up all tab groups on toolbar.

This has never been a problem - I "save" windows in Tab Groups on my toolbar, and bring up a Group for reference during the day.

Something in the new download has altered my settings, and I cannot find how to keep the tabbed window groups from cascading onscreen, and having to constantly minimise them.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Many thanks for this suggestion cor-el - have found the problem!

I use Avira Anti-Virus, and earlier in the week, simultaneous with the Firefox recent upgrade, they installed a "helpful" toolbar app that appears to be the culprit - it's gone, and so is the annoying tab problem.

Best Wishes, and thanks again!
