When I restart Firefox with previous tabs, an extra tab opens and tries to connect to a URL composed of random numbers

[joehill]

Whenever I restart Firefox and it opens my tabs from previous sessions, there is almost always an extra tab to the right of all the others with an address like http://111956611/ (this was the last number I got--each time it's different). I have no idea if this is caused by an extension or is just something Firefox does. The extensions I'm using include DownloadHelper, FlashGot, Zotero, Zotero OO.o integration, GreaseMonkey, and Mozilla Archive Format.

It has to do something with the standard command ubuntu calls when opening firefox by keyboard shortcuts. I have defined a new command and asinged a shortcut. And now the problem is gone.
