[Bug 857312] [NEW] When I restart Firefox with previous tabs, an extra tab opens and tries to connect to a URL composed of random numbers

 

Public bug reported:

Whenever I restart Firefox and it opens my tabs from previous sessions,
there is almost always an extra tab to the right of all the others with
an address like http://111956611/ (this was the last number I got--each
time it's different). I have no idea if this is caused by an extension
or is just something Firefox does. The extensions I'm using include
DownloadHelper, FlashGot, Zotero, Zotero OO.o integration, GreaseMonkey,
and Mozilla Archive Format.
