Ok, then it seems that you probably have an add-on or malware on your computer hijacking the tabs.

Try to Reset Firefox. Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings.

Download and Install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full Scan. http://www.malwarebytes.org/

Download and Run TDSSKiller http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363

Download and Install Microsoft Security Essentials http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/security-essentials (not an official endorsement, but I personally recommend MSE as an awesome permanent anti-virus)

Double check for all Windows Updates.

Then, follow the same steps I posted above to change the tab to a new page.

Were you getting the net tab page introduced in Firefox 13? (it shows 9 thumbnails of your recently visited websites). You can change this to a blank page easily by doing this:

Type about:config into your address bar, press Enter. Accept the Warning.

Search for browser.newtab.url. Right click it, click Modify" set it to about:blank.

Then search for browser.newtabpage.enabled, double click it to set it to False.

I will try that...however I think that is where my problems began...It was after I changed to hide the thumbnails this started...

I reset firefox....I think it is back to when it was updated...I have the 9 window thing..but at least new tabs are spam free...That is all I really care about...if it doesn't keep working I will follow the rest of your advice... If it continues I will uninstall a forth time and leave it...

IE is working fine..I just don't like that browser...I think the problem is with firefox...

Again thank you...
