Once in awhile, when I click on a link, the browser continues to open up many tabs of the same page. It finally just quits. I have tried today to force quit the OS, but when reloaded, Firefox opens up where it left off and continues to open up multiple copies of the same page. Finally, and other forced shut down, and then got the message on reopening browser, they were embarrassed. I could then start a new session.
