Firefox doing its own thing...

I was trying to find out where to be able to watch yesterday's Scotland v England cricket match and so spent about twenty minutes ferreting around on Firefox. When I finally decided to give up as a glass of fino was calling, I closed the only Firefox window which I had opened to find another one lurking behind it, displaying the homepage of an online betting shop with all sorts of offers to seduce me (some chance!).

I don't like unexpected things happening behind my back. How do I stop parasitic links on pages I visit opening up new Firefox windows in this way. please?
