 I've been using Tor Browser for about a year on the average only a couple
 of days a month when I access torrent sites. Until now I haven't had any
 problems.

 Now, when I load multiple tabs, even if I load them individually, a tab I
 happen to be on will start blinking fast and it will get the same thing
 going in the last tab I was on. It locks up the browser and adds in other
 tabs I try to go to. The only fix seems to exit Tor and start over again.

 Here's what I've tried.
 1.) Close the individual tabs by clicking on the X - Doesn't work.
 2.) Close the tab using the right mouse then close tab. - This will close
 the tab, but won't stop the process.
 3.) Since this is Firefox I've install addons uBlock Origin and AdGuard
 AdBlocker. Doesn't work.

 Is this a bug or the result of an attack?
 How do I stop it?
 If I can't I'll have to go back to Chrome with no privacy.

 I hope you can fix this.
