Hard to say the cause. As someone else mentioned, could be a sticky mouse or could be just a need to close and open the program. Could it be this is happening on the same site every time?


FWIW, I have never had the problem, but I always right click and open in new tab. In that way, it would be virtually impossible to have what you are suggesting to happen short of a major bug or the site doing it to me. But that is not the reason I do it. I do it because I frequently want to continue reading on the page I am on or I want to go back to it and don't want to have to remember I have to go back. See if that works for you.

I've had similar experiences with Chrome browser.  The answer was to
uninstall the browser and then download from a reputable website and
reinstall. Hope thi works for you!
