When I click on a link/button at a website that is coded to open in a new window, that window opens within another window There are two ribbons for minimizing/closing the window, and the back and forward buttons don't work. There are no tabs. When I click to open a new tab, that tab appears and the previous page forms a tab, but doesn't show a URL and when I drag it to the main window to combine tabs, it appears blank.

I used to be able to drag new windows into my main browser so I could have just one browser running at a time. Since I installed Firefox 5, I haven't been able to do that. They no longer open up with a tab I can drag.

Suggestions on how I can fix this?

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

I had the same problem, and it was one of my addons - xmarks - disable the addon and restart. And see if the problem is resolved, if not try to disable your addons one by one, I'm sure you'll find the source of the problem Good luck
