I am also running 10.10. This has been an ongoing, rather annoying issue. I thought that it was an issue with Firefox, so I upgraded to the latest version. The issue persists.
Luckily, the newer versions have an option to "reopen closed tabs". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/683159 Title: With touchpad browser tab sometimes closes when selected Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I am running 10.10 on a acer extensia laptop. With the touchpad I get some inconsistent behavior using browsers. Currently firefox beta and chrome. There are multiple tabs open, clicking on the tab will sometimes close it instead of showing that tab. At other times clicking on a link that should show the new page in the same tab, spawns a new tab to show the page. It can take two or three clicks for it to show the page in the original tab. EDIT: Occasionally when I open a new tab a warning message appears to tell me that I'm about to open over 700 tabs. This behavior can happen with an RSS feed. It seems to happen more often on the firefox beta.
