I tried to open a bookmark and its opening in an active window, such as an image, not a separate tab or window. What is going on?

I had problems with Firefox hanging (seems related to Flash on a particular Web site). During his last hours of troubleshooting, including on the phone with the assistance of my ISP, it was recommended I "Refresh" of Firefox. I've done it before, and I did it yesterday again. This morning I opened Firefox to my homepage (my ISP Portal), checked my email, disconnected from the email, this tab closed, open two other forums and Photobucket - three tabs open in the window - to post pictures and contribute to the discussions in the forums. Once completed, I've disconnected from forums and Photobucket, each firm separately tab, and then quit Firefox. (While in Photobucket, Flash has crashed several times... but this is not unusual with Photobucket in my experience. It's a different problem, I always deal with... but he immediately forgets...) As part of "Refresh" yesterday, I set Firefox to clear the cache and cookies and other files to quit.

Later in the day today, I opened Firefox, portal of my ISP opened as usual and expected (my "Home page"). Sometimes, instead of close the window/tab, I just open a bookmark and it will open in the same window, but by replacing the previous window and its contents. I.e. the procedure normal functioning for me. You know, rather than having two windows open where I have to close one, I have just the bookmark opens instead of the original content of the window.

Today (and it happened before today, but rarely), open the bookmark page as if it was a picture in the active window... otherwise said, my ISP Portal occupies about 3/4 of the window, but more on the left side of the window (not another tab or a window, but in the same window) is a thin view bookmark page. This new web page - quite foreign to the original page - has a scroll down bar, but can be made to fill the window... the previously opened web page acts as a barrier to the pleasure of the 'new' image/web page. While I can understand the right border of the "new framework" and drag it to the right, he still cannot push the 'old' web page of origin of the road... the old page reached a minimum limit and I get a split screen of two completely different websites mode contained in exactly the same active window.

The 'new' frame has an 'x' at the top right, so I could close... but my question is, why it is opened in web page/window...how from a completely different company can two web pages from completely different organizations/companies/websites are the same active window in Firefox? I have... attached screenshots. And, oh yes, not to mention that the HOW and WHY, how can you prevent (or is the best thing to just right click and open in a new tab or window...?) Which is not always convince me... I am someone who needs to know WHY something happened that should not have happened. It drives me crazy when something strange happens and the 'solution' is to change MY behavior. (You know, like if YOU were the problem, but I need to change MY behavior Instead of correct what's wrong with YOU... When YOU could make all of the obsolete situation.)

Thanks for everything you can suss out...
