Sometimes when I open a new tab, it opens as the same webpage as the first tab instead of the general blank new tab page. Then when I try to navigate the new tab to a different webpage, it navigates all open tabs together. So I can't have multiple different webpages opened in different tabs. I have to close Firefox, open task manager, force stop Firefox, then reopen Firefox, and that usually solves the problem temporarily. My add-ons are: adblock plus 2.0.3, cacaoweb 1.0.26, divx plus web player html 5 video 2.1.2.145, favicon picker 2 0.6.2.15, greasemonkey 0.9.15, microsoft .net framework assistant 0.0.0, move media player 7, open download2 3.2.1, stumbleupon 3.99. I just upgraded to Firefox 10, althought I still had the same problem before I upgraded, and Windows Vista.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot 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).
