Golem opening new tabs

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Let Golem run for a few moments

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Nothing on error console. But Golem keeps opening a new tab every minute or so. 
 Crashes the browser once it gets up to 20-30.

What version of Golem are you using? Beta or release? On what browser?
1158, but also noticed this happening the last release or two.

Does anything relevant appear in the Console? (ctrl+shift+J)
Not that I see. There are plenty of:

www.facebook.com : server does not support RFC 5746, see CVE-2009-3555

Please provide any additional information below.
For a moment on load, it seems to want to go to a 'cloutman.com' or 
'www.cloutman.com/redir.php'. It's pretty fast and I haven't been able to catch 
it before it flips over to the usual web3 address.

The four warning lines are harmless and common, likely from the JQuery library. 
The redirection link is intended to help reload Golem to dodge memory leak 
issues in CA. All it does is load a very short script that simply presses the 
"back" button in your browser's history. Here something seems to be failing to 
load and the reload attempts appear to be somehow triggering the opening of new 
tabs. Since web3 is normally available 24/7 with only infrequent periodic 
interruptions, I'd suggest checking to see if you have any adware or page 
blocking software installed that might be preventing the proper loading of both 
CA and Golem. NoScript on Firefox is an example of software that blocks pages 
on loading. There's a list of blocked pages via the icon or options button at 
the bottom of the page that you can review to see what's being blocked that 
possibly shouldn't be.

That would be a good thought, except this defiantly started with GG 2 releases 
ago. I've never had a problem with adblock and GG before.
While those warnings may not have anything to do with it, it's defiantly a GG 
issue.

Does web3 load properly if you just disable Golem?

Web3 loads properly with or without Golem. What happens is that as Golem is 
running, it keeps opening new tabs. All running Web3. Which quickly overwhelms 
the browser if I should be away and not constantly closing tabs.

See if r1163 helps to sort out the tabs issue. I've never been able to 
reproduce the results you are seeing myself, but that version has slightly less 
restrictive handling of the web3 platform, so it may help the issue.
