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

 

It has to do something with the standard command ubuntu calls when
opening firefox by keyboard shortcuts. I have defined a new command and
asinged a shortcut. And now the problem is gone.

Title:
  When I restart Firefox with previous tabs, an extra tab opens and
  tries to connect to a URL composed of random numbers

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
