I've never had that problem, but why don't you just open new tabs instead of new windows? That's one of the cool features of Firefox and other non-IE browsers.

I see this sort of thing all the time.... Flush the cache - and make the cache size 256k - or 1024k if dialup. Then exit and come back in. You should also clean up the /tmp directory if you haven't done so in a while.
