Old not needed tabs keep opening

FF 3.6 opens tab to "Ask your question for PayPal" even though I had question answered two months ago. I've tried "powering down" PC and telling FF on restart to "Start New" instead of opening the same tabs it had opened before I pulled the rug out from under it.
Please advise.
Thanks, Scot L. Diddle, Richmond VA

I have this incredibly annoying issue too! Except it started since I "upgraded" to Firefox 4. I quickly click on a tab and start scrolling down and it opens in a new window: I'm pretty sure I'm not dragging my mouse, since my hand movement didn't suddenly change for whatever reason after switching to FF4.

My tabs will not restore after starting Firefox -- even with the option to restore my tabs and windows is checked in the "options" window. I'm losing tabs from previous sessions that I need to keep open every time I need to restart. Thanks for any advice!

Is there something else I need to tweak to get rid of this annoyance instead of simply clicking the check box? I'm losing tabs from previous sessions that I need to keep open every time I need to restart. Thanks for any advice!

Make sure that you do not use Clear Recent History to clear the Browsing History when you close Firefox.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Clear+Recent+History
It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js [3] files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

Create a new AppleID on a different iOS device or on a computer. You will
then be able to use that newly created AppleID on your iPhone.

Do not want tabs to open

i do not want any tabs to open at all i hate tabs

What do you want to happen when a site speciies that a link should open in a new window?
* New window (as designed). Uncheck the box here: orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Tabs ''Uncheck'' the checkbox for "Open new windows in a new tab instead"
* Force it into the same tab. There's no built-in setting for this, but an add-on might be able to do it.
There are some Firefox features that open a new tab, and there's no easy way to force these to a new window. You would have to work around it. If there are particular ones that annoy you, please mention what they are.

New tabs keep opening spontaneously and I get the messsageThe URL is not valid and cannot be loaded.

This usually happens whenever I right click for a new tab or click a link. The unwanted tab always has the URL http://xn--3!1 -fua0do447bmv6g/#%C5%93%C3%8E%06%E2%80%99Ucr%C2%B7%C3%80 and I am constantly having to close these tabs.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

Tabs keep opening on their own even though I only work in new windows.

Since the last Thunderbird update I'm having trouble with random(?) emails opening in tabs, even though I don't use tabs. It's annoying to have to keep closing all these tabs that I didn't open and don't even use in any way. It's a distraction. I'd just disable the tabs bar altogether if that was possible, but I guess it's not an option.
In Tools-Options-Advanced-Reading&Display, I have selected "Open messages in - a new message window", as it's been for a long time. When I click on an email, that setting works normally. I've read that double-clicking an email can cause it to open in a tab, but I can't reproduce that behavior, so I don't believe that's the cause. When I notice the random open tabs, its usually right after starting up Thunderbird for the day. There are usually three open email tabs. I don't leave emails open when I close the program at night - I just haven't figured out a pattern or cause for this annoying behavior. Seems like a bug to me, and I can't seem to stop it from happening. Any ideas?

Occasionally clicking on a link begins an endless loop where new tabs keep opening - can this be prevented?

see link in email - click - new tabs open, quickly and endlessly. click on red box and firefox recovers and continues opening new tabs - all blank and empty; shut again and then there are about 20 open empty tabs when I open again

None of this will, in all likelihood, address your actual issue, but:
Close your resources in the reverse order you opened them. That means ResultSet, Statement and finally Connection
Speaking of finally, make sure you close your resources within a finally block. That is what they are there for. You need the resources freed regardless of whether the request was successful or not
Move the System.out.println() out of the loop. You are not connecting every time. You are fetching records every time. It is misleading.
Do not use SELECT *. Always explicitly label what columns you are selecting. Otherwise, another developer has to go to the actual table, describe it, and see what is coming out.
Please use the code formatting tags (see button above when posting). It is far too difficult to read otherwise.- Saish

When I open firefox previously viewed tabs keep opening instead of the home page and I can't get rid of them

All I can do is minimise each tab, open my home page from favourites, and then press the red X in the minimised box.

You can check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that sets the browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once pref to true.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
Your System Details list shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time Firefox starts.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there.
You can check its content with a plain text editor (right-click: "Open with"; do not double-click).
The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
You can delete the user.js file if you didn't create this file yourself.

I want to permanently unpin and remove a tab, but the pinned tab keeps opening whenever I restart Firefox.

I accidentally pinned a tab. Now every time I open Firefox it is there, even if I unpin and close, or just close the tab and restart the browser.

This somehow fixed itself after a couple of days of unpinning. I'm not sure what I did but if it comes back I will try your method. I just had a look in the about:config page and couldn't find either browser.newtabpage.pinned, nor browser.newtabpage.blocked, but that may be because I no longer have anything pinned.
Thank you.

Blank tabs keep opening by themselves in Safari

Every few minutes, 1-2 blank tabs open by themselves in Safari. The address bar briefly shows a link to "trc.taboola.com" before clearing out and opening a blank, untitled tab. I have AVG on my Mac and also ran AdwareMedic but they haven't found anything. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I do not have Comcast, though I have seen that Comcast users had that issue. My ISP is Time Warner.
I tried the above solutions to no avail. The only extension I have installed is Adblock Plus.

Every time I click on a link, an OLD version of Firefox keeps opening, I don't know how to eliminate the old version (I don't see it in the applications folder). This hasn't happened with any other upgrades to Firefox. Can you help?

This happens when I get an email with a link attached. Also, every single time I open up the NEW version, it defaults to the "welcome to Firefox 4" page. Is there a way to make it stop doing that too? Did I just download the new version too soon, before the bugs were worked out?

Version 3.6.16 is opening....as it did when I clicked the link in your email message to me about this situation. The upgraded version (Firefox4) sits in my dock and the old version opens when I click on a link.

Blend will not stay closed, keeps opening itself

I don't use BB Blend at all, and in device manager I close it than hours later i see that it has opened itself up again and I have to close it so it does not suck up resources. Why is it that it opens itself and is there a way to delete it?

ah. Gotcha.
Can't be deleted other than by something like Sachesi or DDPB to remove the bar file.

When I open PDF's multiple tabs keep opening. I tried on multiple websites and it does the same thing when trying to open PDF.

So here is the deal. I try to open a PDF to view on any website and it opens numerous amounts of tabs, never stopping, tab after tab after tab.
I went to Dells site to try and view a manual, I went to honeywell site to try and view a pdf.
