I've been using Firefox for two years now, and been using flashgot add-on. and I really like it. this laptop has firefox on it since day one. and i had flashgot on it as well. but today when I wanted to download something I've only got one option (save file) flashgot wasnt there. i was kinda suprised but downloaded and installed flashgot anyways. it asked me to restart firefox and i let it. then when it restarted i got lots of pop windows asking me to which application is used to open this link (there wasnt a link and i had only firefox so i picked it) had like 10 or more pop windows. so i chose use this option for all. when i did so all of a sudden got lots of tabs poping then a new firefox window pop on with lots of tabs poping then a new window. i've got up to 19 windows poping with lots of tabs. i've had to shut it down with task manager.

now when i want to use firefox about 20 tabs pop up then a new firefox window pop up , then when i type an url another 20 tabs pop then a window pop.....

this laptop may have problems. am scaning it now using ESET online scan to see whats going on. thanks for your help in advance

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile

There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"

If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

You may have a content type incorrectly set to "Use Firefox". This article should help - Firefox repeatedly opens empty tabs or windows after you click on a link, start with the section "Change the action for a content type".
