How can I stop firefox from opening hundreds of tabs when I click on an embedded email link?
Every time I forget and click on an embedded email link, firefox tries to open multiple tabs(sometimes hundreds). I can't shut down firefox when this happens, I can't do anything else. I have to manually shut down the computer and reboot.

Check to make sure that mailto has not been set to open Firefox.
To do that open the Preferences dialog by selecting "Firefox > Preferences". In the Preferences dialog go to the Applications panel. In the "Content Type" column locate mailto, and make sure the Action column is not set to "Use Firefox" This procedure is explained in more depth in the Manage file types and download actions in Firefox article.
Also see Firefox repeatedly opens empty tabs or windows after you click on a link .
It was set to Firefox. Thank you very much. I never would have figured that out on my own.
