Browser question (computer)

[tilehead]

I have been using Mozilla Firefox instead of internet explorer. Seems to work OK but when I am reading a thread and click on a link I can't back out of it. If I close the link a window will pop up and tell me I am about to close two windows so I have to close my original window and the link too. Anyone have any idea what to do? A setting maybe?
