when I click on a link, Firefox opens a new window for that link, how do I change this setting?

I am unaware of having made any changes to my settings before this started. The best way I can describe it is that simply clicking on a link causes it to "open link in new window" rather than simply "open"

Huh?? Rather than simply "Open" where??

Hope you mean rather than simply open in a new tab.

Tools -> Options _> Tabs [x] Open new windows in a new tab instead

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
