Double pages keep opening up

Two things:

1. My mouse has left, right, and scroll buttons, but on the left one, I keep getting this little circle icon with up and down arrows inside it. I have no idea what's causing it. It’s a wireless mouse.

2. Every time I try to open a site, like Reddit, it just blasts out two identical tabs automatically. To even get into a thread, I end up with three copies of the same page open. This just started happening. My buddy keeps telling me it's a virus, but I ran a scan and found nothing. It's happening on both Firefox and Chrome too.

I already tried restarting my PC, but no luck.

So, how do I stop my computer from opening duplicate pages on its own? If I open YouTube, it just opens two YouTube tabs.

Total nightmare.

I’d say your mouse is acting up; it feels like whenever you hit the left click, it somehow triggers the middle button too, which is probably why it's glitching on you. Maybe try plugging it into a different PC to see if it does the same thing.

gonna give that a shot

Swapped out my mouse and everything's working fine now—no more weird double-clicking issues.
