This is a problem that has been going on for about a month. Often, when thunderbird is open, Firefox opens and starts opening several tabs to this URL: http://fqsecure.com/pixel?s=1867931180. If the thunderbird window is closed but Firefox is open this does not happen, but it's very annoying to have to close out of 20something spam tabs each time this happens. I've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling firefox and thunderbird, and opening thunderbird in Safe Mode, but nothing seems to stop this from happening. The website itself is also strange. It just displays a -1 and the page source also only shows -1. Searching for fqsecure and errors related to it have yielded almost nothing. If anyone has any advice, I'd be more than happy to try it.

This is probably the same sort of issue I get with the twitter widget on some RSS feeds. you should I think find the issue only occurs on mail or feeds from a particular sender, or in the case of the twitter feed any RSS feed that had the twitter share icon.

What happens is a supposedly remote image is actually a script on the remote server. This script collects information about you so they can build a marketing profile on you. Rather clever of twitter to get profiles data for everyone, not just their members, but I digress. When this script sends back it's payload there is no browser windows to accept a script so the browser it opens. It is annoying, and I have emails all of those that cause it to happen in my Thunderbird asking them to remove invasive scripts that cause this issue as I value my privacy. What very little I have left.
