Humble Mozilla Bundle causes all bookmarks to try to load at once.

Yesterday I clicked on the "Click me" on the Mozilla start screen, apparently activating some kind of web tracking package in the Humble Mozilla Bundle which has been noted by other users. In my case, my bookmarks are organized in folders but now when I click on a folder to open it and select a bookmark, every single bookmark in that folder tries to open at once, naturally locking up my computer. How do I get rid of this (and opt out of the Humble Mozilla Bundle if possible)?

I haven't installed the bundle, so I don't know where you manage it (add-ons page maybe?), but I do have a comment on your bookmarks problem:

Firefox will open all items in a folder if you Ctrl+click or "middle-click" the folder. So one possibility is that Firefox is misreading the state of your keyboard. Could you tap the Ctrl key several times to see whether that helps clear it up, and/or exit and start Firefox up again. In some cases, you may need to shutdown and restart Windows.
