It started earlier today, I was watching TV and looked up the cast of an episode of solar opposites on IMDB and promptly closed it. Now randomly throughout the day today that tab going to that episodes cast on IMDB opens. Anything on google pointed to malware but I am not convinced its not a weird bug. Anyone else have this happen? i am going to try to clear history and see if that helps or if it opens a blank tab.

you can try creating a 2nd empty new profile and check if the issue persists, that would give a good indication if it is a issue with your settings/profile or something else.

thanks good idea. Cause clearing cache history and cookies somehow wasnt enough. woke up with the tab open again, its haunting me.
