How can I stop Firefox loads of tabs to open when I try to open an attachment?

When I try to open a file in a file I receive plenty of tabs (295) without title and not open the file I want. It started yesterday when I tried to view my utility bill n now I can't see anything.

This has happened

Each time Firefox opened

is 05/12/2010

You can have endless opening tabs if you have selected the application to handle a file if you get a window to Open with Firefox download.

Firefox should not be selected as application to handle a file and you need to remove the action associated with this file type.

You can remove mimeTypes.rdf in the profile folder to reset all the actions or set the misfeasance in tools > Options > Applications for 'always ask '.

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions ('File handling in Firefox 3 and SeaMonkey 2' and 'Reset download Actions')
