Clicking on a link once generates an infinite stream of tabs that I can't stop without closing Firefox

If I click on a hyperlink within a message on Thunderbird, I open an infinite stream of tabs on Firefox. What's happening? Yesterday I was able to close to close tabs and stop the progression; today I had to close Firefox entirely.
