Firefox opening multiple tabs when viewing x.com

more options

Hi. I use firefox version 133.03 (64 bit) and have issues when on x.com's website. It will randomly open new tabs constantly. I have tried multiple options with settings on firefox and my pc, blocked new windows from opening, and disabled pop-ups. Checked my extensions and tried disabling all and that did not affect anything. I have run scans for viruses, malware, etc., and nothing comes up.

Any advice? It gets pretty annoying having to close the repeating tabs to be able to view the site.

That's most likely coming from the site and not something Firefox browser is doing by itself. You need to contact the site support and ask them why is it doing this to the Browser.

You get tabs opening endlessly if you select Firefox as the application to handle a file when you get an "Open with" dialog.

What OS? Need to show proof of the issue. Post a screenshot showing all the pop-ups. I don't do Social Media and forgot that twitter.com was changed to x.com.  ;-)) Do we have to login to replicate the issue? Provide a link to a page where you're getting all the pop-ups.
