577443 - uncontrolled generation of empty tabs

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 570600

(Firefox :: Session Restore, defect)

Description

[Ross McKenzie]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.2.6) Gecko/20100625 Firefox/3.6.6
Build Identifier: Intel Mac OS X 10.5; Firefox/3.6.6

When extracting email details ( addresses) from inward web page information - clicking on mail addresses generates strings of empty tabs - which are seemingly unable to be removed - quitting and select dont save clears the issue on the next time Firefox is used , up to the time a mail address is selected - then mayhem with lots ( perhaps 1000 or more ) of empty tabs being created . Have tried to get back to a clean copy thru Time Machine but it appears there is a file somewhere not being changed back to "normal" operation .  

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
to be taken to Gmail - email client - 

manual removal by closing windows ( done several times over a couple of hours )has no ongoing effect - :-(((
