How can I totally disable occurrence of the New Tab tab when I right-click to open a new window?
Whenever I right-click on a link in Firefox and choose "Open Link in New Window", the resulting new window opens with TWO tabs: a tab containing the target for the clicked link and another "New Tab" tab containing icons for sites I don't want and don't care about. Even more annoying, the "New Tab" tab is the tab that is active/selected when the new window comes up, rather than the tab for the link I right-clicked.
This is very annoying and highly undesirable behavior. When one right-clicks on a link and chooses "Open Link in New Window", one should get a new window containing ONLY the displayed information for the target link. One should not get TWO tabs.
How do I get rid of this behavior? I've searched via Google for a solution but haven't found one.
I hope the Mozilla team will correct this problem very soon. I've been using Firefox for a long time and have found it to be a very good browser. However, this new behavior totally destroys my good feelings about Firefox.
Thanks for reading my comments.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Starting Firefox in Safe Mode does indeed get rid of the behavior I find undesirable. Thank you.
However, I still wonder why one should have to go through the extra step (starting in Safe Mode) to avoid the second tab in the newly opened window.
I have not added any add-ons to Firefox on my PC.
The problem suddenly started occurring a while back, after an automatic update of Firefox to the latest version.
Any thoughts on WHY this is happening?
If your problem goes away when you are in safe mode, it may mean that
one of your settings or a add-on is the source of the problem.
Firefox > Add-ons > Extensions. Disable all or most of the add-ons,
then restart Firefox. If the problem is gone, then turn the add-ons back on one at
a time (restarting FF each time).
