Why, when have more than one tab on Firefox it generates message Exc in ev handl: Error: Bad NPObject as private data! which then opens each site in a new browser

I like to work with about 6 tabs open on Firefox and typically this has been absolutely fine. Starting around November 2011 each time I have multiple tabs open when I open a new gmail message, or open an order or any other action within an open page a message pops up that reads
Exc in ev handl: Error: Bad NPObject as private data!
then that site immediately opens in a new browser window.
I do not have this issue with Google Chrome or Internet Explorer but I would rather use Firefox. I ran McAfee an extra time thinking it might be a virus but that did not help. Any ideas?

That issue can be caused by the McAfee Site Advisor extension

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
