Firefox will not open a new window for a website when it is supposed to and then will not close properly. I have un-installed and re-installed and problem persists, why? How is it solved?

When I go on to some websites and click on certain things it wants to open a new window to display the information etc. I.E. On an agency job search site I click to do a detailed job search which should open in a new window, but this will not happen now on my Firefox.

Firefox was working perfectly ok on Saturday 11th September but for some unknown reason has acted up since Sunday.

There have been no Windows updates which could effect this and the laptop is otherwise working perfectly ok.

Nothing has changed from Saturday Night to Sunday Night that I can see.

I have even tried to do a system restore to solve the problem but with no success.

I also have this problem. I cannot open links from a discussion board I frequent nor can I open links from my email. Also after opening my email, I cannot go to any other sites except my home page. I can then go no where else. When I close Firefox and try to reopen it, it does nothing! I have to bring up the Task Manager and end the Firefox process before I can get back in. To the best of my knowledge, this problem started with the new update to Ver. 3.6.9. I am running Windows XP Media Center 2005
