| | 7 tabs opening in browser Wow, here's a really strange problem: I just got an confirmation from Macy's for some merchandise I ordered online. The confirmation has various links to the site, such as "check order status," etc. When I click on such a link, it opens seven (yes, seven) tabs in my browser (Firefox). Most of these tabs are to my ISP site, why I have no idea. One tab opens an e-mail form, apparently to Macy's, but it has nothing but a comma in the address field. I have never seen or heard of anything like this before. Anyone have any ideas? thanx, Ron |

Go to Macy's website manually, instead of the link provided. Shawn |

| | Re: 7 tabs opening in browser Don't think it's a phishing expedition. I sent this e-mail to my computer at work, which also uses Firefox, and it worked fine from there. Back home, I also tried IE 7 and Thunderbird, and similar problems exist. Must be a problem with Vista, eh?

Must be a problem with Vista, eh? I am not sure. I never seen this problem before either. Hopefully someone has seen this before and will have a solution for you. Sorry, Shawn |
