It seems like an unnecessary tab is being created when launching the FF Health Report. This issue may arise due to certain configurations or extensions in your Firefox browser. At Global Touch LLC, we encountered similar issues in the past and recommends checking your browser settings, disabling extensions temporarily, and ensuring that your browser is up to date. If the problem persists, you can reach out to Firefox support for further assistance.
